This image displays a vintage newspaper clipping from October 15, 1950, likely saved as part of a personal or institutional archive. The clipping is mounted on or partially covered by a larger, aged piece of paper labeled “BOSTON NEWS CLIP” with the address “120 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass.” — suggesting it may have been filed by a news service or newspaper (with “Globe Boston, Mass.” also noted).

The primary content of the clipping announces an event by the Harvard Dramatic Club (H.D.C.):

H. D. C. READING THEATRE

The Harvard Dramatic Club will present a “reading theatre” performance of Eugene O’Neill’s “Ile” in the large room of Fogg Museum, Cambridge, Wednesday at 4. The play will be free and given in connection with the current exhibition of scene designs.

This is a brief, typed announcement typical of mid-20th-century campus event notices. The date “Wednesday at 4” is clearly tied to October 18, 1950 (since October 15 was a Saturday).

Additional Details:

• A piece of text above the main announcement — possibly from another clipping or typed note — lists musical works: “A minor, F minor, Two Mazurkas, Op. 25, No. 1 and Op. 10, No. 4, Scherzo in B minor, Chopin.” This may relate to background or intermission music for the performance.
• It has been marked with red ink or pencil—possibly for filing or editing purposes—circling “128F” and crossing out part of the Chopin list.
• The paper is yellowed and the edges are torn or folded, indicating its age and use.

The presence of musical notations and filing marks suggests it may have been part of a curated collection of arts-related clippings.
