This is the 487th production of the theatre and is one of the 20 different Shakespearian plays which have been presented by the theatre. Seldom are the students aware of the fact that a Stetson tradition is living before their eyes. Schools all over Central Florida for many- years have been taking advantage of the invitation extended by the University to guests of the theatre for these productions. This year members of the staff have been made available to high schools in order that we might encourage interest in drama, giving talks on drama, Elizabethan theatre, and answering questions concerning the adaption interpretation, and presentation of this production. The major roles will be handled by Robert Huffman as Brutus, Hoke Shirley as Marcus Antonius, Art Casey as Caesar, and John Howell as Cassius. Supporting players: Ona Barfield, Charles Harris, Carolyn Baltzer and Ray Hyde. Individuals making initial appearances on Stover stage: Victor Vaughen, Dick Gibson, Norman Gold, James Young, Ed Town- send and John Phillip. The situation in Caesar is not far fetched. For those who remember the situation in Germany prior to the end of the war—or those who saw the picture, "The Desert Fox," recognize that a conspiracy for the good of the people is not an uncommon occurrence, but rather a safety valve used by both conscientious patriots and unscrupulous politicians.
