The major Hasty Pudding production in Harry’s senior year was “The Lotos Eaters” with script and music written by club members. This was obviously the culmination of Harry’s theatrical career; he won the role of “Mr. Abadiah Burdock Butterworth,” the husband of “Mrs. Jane Abadiah Butterworth,” described in the program as “a masterful woman from Chicopee Falls, Mass.” Included here are the poster advertising the play, photos of Harry in costume and of the entire cast.
