Denial of stories that appeared in a newspaper yesterday to the effect that the University had prohibited the production of "A Bride for the Unicorn" as a result of the barring of Radcliffe girls from the play by President Comstock, came from the officers of the Dramatic Club last night.
No official statement from the University was forthcoming on the recent difficulties of the Dramatic Club and no announcement either pro or con has been made as yet. It was understood, however, from unofficial sources, that the University is not expected to ban the production.
Any prohibition from the University would come from an action of the advisory board of the Dramatic Club and it was understood that it had taken no action as yet. Among the members of this board are Frederick C. Packard '20, assistant professor of Public Speaking, J. Tucker Murray, Professor of English, and Theodore Spencer, instructor in English.
Producer Joe Losey from New York who has been assigned the duty of getting the play on the stage was upset over the action of Radcliffe in the matter but anticipated no difficulty in whipping the cast into shape in time for the opening curtain on May 2. There has been no new casting since the ban on Radcliffe girls but rumor has it that several debutantes who were in early tryouts might be recruited to fill the parts.
The University will make its final decision in the matter this morning when the reports of the Advisory Board are submitted to Matthew Luce, Regent, by John C. Haggot '35, president of the club.
