In December 1909, the **rwegian Students’ Society premiered their stage production of a comedic revue entitled Maxis!
The all-male student cast played a litany of characters, from kings, queens and princesses to musketeers, satyrs and (**t considered unusual for the time) a figure in blackface.
The play was a tremendous success, presenting to sold-out crowds for two weeks. It was taken on tour the following year.*
