The Hasty Pudding Club play this year follows the lead of past performances and consists largely of musical and dancing numbers interwoven with the general run of the plot. The book is by D. C. Josephs '15 and J. A. Richards '15 and deals with the adventures of some members of the Hasty Pudding show on a tour who become stranded in a rustic town--Warm Water Junction--Separated from their manager.
The business of the second act is occupied with a modernized version of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice," the burlesque taking its name from the fact that Shylock takes a mortgage on Antonio's fattest calf instead of the conventional pound of flesh. Portia's defense is grounded on the claim that the calf cannot be moved without a permit from the board of health, on account of the prevalence of the hoof and mouth disease. While Shylock is debating this phase of the case the frantic manager comes rushing down the aisle declaring that the train leaves in 10 minutes. The whole company leaves the stage and hastens up the aisle singing the farewell chorus from the back of the theatre.
