FOOTLIGHT STARS SHINE

When playwrights come to Hanover to see their plays tried out the first time on an American stage, and newspaper critics come with them to judge of their success, the Dramatic Association may be said to have arrived.

Witter Bynner saw his play "The Little King", produced in Webster Hall, December 16, in advance of its publication in book form next March, and was an enthusiastic coach and critic at several rehearsals. "The Man from the Sea", by Charles Goddard '02 and Paul Dickey, was given the same night as a forerunner of its production this season at the Princess Theatre in New York. "Leave of Absence", by Carl E. Freybe, completed the trio of plays staged by the Dramatic Association, all the same night. The monthly theatre nights in Hanover are becoming the social events of the winter. The success of the last undertaking was all the more remarkable when it is considered the three plays were learned in less than two weeks. "The New Sin", by B. M. Hastings, and "The Workhouse Ward", by Lady Gregory, were given on November 25.
