PLOT CENTERS ON MURDER
"Caponsacchi," a re-arrangement
of Browning's famous epic, "Ring
and the Book," which will be pre
sented this week-end and every eve
ning next week by the University
Players, has an interesting history.
The original Browning poem is lohg,
and so involved that a drama based
d'rectly on the epic itself would be
impossible.
The suggpstion that finally lead to
the arrangement of the poem in
drama form came from a Philadel
phia girl, Miss Rose Palmer, in a
letter to Mr. Walter Hampden, sug
gesting that Browning's poem would
make excellent drama if properly
cut down, and re-arranged. She es
pecially stressed the character of the
priest, Caponsacchi' and included in
her letter a few rough sketches for
scenes. Mr. Hampden handed tne
letter to his brother-in-law, Mr. Ar

student of Browning.
Mr. Goodrich took the poem itself,
and started on his task. The story
is originally told many times, but Mr.
Goodrich cut it down, limiting it to
