"Man and Masses" Tryouts at PBH; Social Drama Attacks Fascizm

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Man and the Masses" has been chosen as the fall production of the Harvard Student Union Drama Committee. Tryouts for the play are now being held in Phillips Brooks House.

The play was written by Ernst Toller, famous German poet and revolutionary who committee suicide in America last year. "Man and the Masses" was written in a Bavarian prison in 1921 during the Communist revelt.

Toller had long struggled against the advance of fascism. This drama is an indictment of the oppression of the masses and war. The setting is the strike of Munich munition workers during the last war, but it is generalized to include the larger struggle.

Robert Nichols '41 will direct the play, while John Holabird '42 will do the sets. Although the production is H.S.U. sponsored, all students who are interested in the social drama are invited to try out for the play.
