ANOTHER ADVANCE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

It has just been announced that the Dramatic Club has secured the services of Dr. R. Ordynski as director of its spring production. The fact that we of America have not rolled this distinguished name under our tongues does not in the least remove any of its distinction. As Max Reinhardt's trusted co-worker, Dr. Ordynski has been a power in putting the staging of plays in Europe where it is today,--fifty years or more ahead of our own. The war has, temporarily, put an end to theatrical activities abroad and, like many of his colleagues, Dr. Ordynski has sought our shores. If it is an auspicious thing for the drama in America, which is badly enough is need of something auspicious, that these men have transplanted their workshop to this country, it is certainly more than fortunate that one of the leaders has become affiliated with the University at the outset.

With this new stimulus toward better and newer things, and again taking the lead in influencing the serious dramatic activities of the universities, the Dramatic Club is one step nearer a most desirable goal,--the day when it may become a powerful source of material for the stage of the nation. We welcome what is undoubtedly the beginning of a new epoch.
