BROADWAY SUCCESS FOR CLUB

The initial New York production of the Dramatic Club was remarkably successful in every way. The play, "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater," by Miss Winifred Hawkridge, Radcliffe Sp., was very favorably received by both critics and audiences and the acting, especially that of J. W. D. Seymour '17, was highly commended. The two performances held at the Garrick Theatre on the evenings of December 29 and 30 were given before large and appreciative audiences, several New York producers being present on the first evening and prominent critics on the second.

The production was given under the auspices of the Stage Society of New York, of which Harrison Rhodes '03 is president, and ten per cent. of the profits are to be given to the Actors' Fund of America. Much credit for the success of the production was due to the interest shown by graduates of the Univer- sity and others interested in the welfare of the club. Evert Jansen Wendell '82 gave material assistance in regard to the publicity arrangements for the production. The Harvard Club of New York brought the play to the attention of its members and other graduates of the University and provided an office for the ticket management. The Charles Frohman management placed their storehouses at the disposal of the club and gave invaluable aid and advice in regard to the advertising and detail arrangements for the production.

The production was in charge of the New York Committee composed of G. E. Massey '15, chairman W. S. Mack '17, W. H. Meeker '17, and J. W. D. Seymour '17. All arrangements for transportation and lodging were in the hands of H. H. Shaw '16. The tickets were in charge of L. W. Smith '17 and W. S. Mack '17. The stage management was under the direction of P. C. Rodgers '16 assisted by E. A. Whitney '17 and R. C. Williams '16; properties, E. P. Goodnow '17; electricians, T. C. Browne '15 and F. B. Foster '17. The coaches, Clayton D. Gilbert and Theodore Koch accompanied the cast which left Boston on the 12 o'clock train Monday, December 28, arriving at their headquarters, the Hotel Wellington, that evening. A dress rehearsal was held on the Tuesday afternoon preceeding the performance. Including the cast, which, with a few changes in the minor parts, was the same as that for the Boston performances, thirty people made the trip
