Drama Cavalcade to Open
With 'Servant in the House'
On Monday night, May 17, the
Actors' Lab "Cavalcade of Drama"
will open with a one-night pro
duction of Charles Rann Ken
nedy's "The Servant In The
House," directed by Don Johan
nes. The five-act drama will be
presented in the Experimental
Theatre (Room 201); curtain time
will be 8 p.m. and there is no ad
mission charge.
Although "The Servant In The
House" is frequently mentioned
in books on the American theatre,
few playgoers of the present gen
eration have had an opportunity
to see it staged. However, the
play has had at least one pre
vious production at the University
of Nebraska.
Given 35 Years Ago
Research into University
Theatre scrapbooks has shown
that the first Temple Theatre
production of "The Servant In
The House" was given nearly 35
years ago, in December of 1913.
Miss Alice Howell, theatre direc
tor at that time, maintained a
correspondence with the play
wright, Charles Rann Kennedy,
throughout the production period.
A letter from Kennedy ack
nowleged permission to produce
the play and expressed concern
lest the meaning of the play be
lost or warped in presentation. A
later card from him, dated Jan
uary 1, 1914, extended congratu
lations to Miss Howell on a pro
ducton which was apparently
very successful.
Charles Rann Kennedy, the
"play's author, was born in Eng
land in 1871 hut made his home
in the United States. "The Ser
