Week of 23 October 1998 Vol. II, No. 11 BU Yesterday Bunny-costumed Drama Club students hop past Copley Square's Trinity Church as part of the November 1951 Homecoming Float Parade. Club members were promoting the BU production of Mary Chase's 1944 play Harvey, which they staged at Hayden Hall, now the site of the Tsai Performance Center. Ed Maxey played the gentle Elwood P. Dowd, who causes a stir when he befriends an invisible six-foot rabbit named Harvey. The Pulitzer Prize-winning play was made into a great movie starring Jimmy Stewart in 1950.BU Photo Services
