The Dartmouth Rennaissance has now become a by-word on the Campus. Undergraduate organizations are all stir ring to new life, and none with more surprising results than the Dramatic Association. The indomitable energy of Walter F. Wanger '16, acting manager and producer, last month carried "The Misleading Lady," to the Fulton Theatre in New York and now has opened the way for the Association to play in Boston April 13 and 14 at the Plymouth Theatre.
Between these two bold ventures, the Association on March 14 staged three one-act plays in Webster Hall. The first was Richard Hovey '85's translation of Maeterlinck's "The Intruder." George Kay and Livingston Piatt, both scenic artists of considerable note, showed their interest in Dartmouth dramatics by supervising the scenic and lighting effects of the play.
A clever vaudeville skit, "Copy," by Kendall Banning '02, was very well clone, and also a one-act musical revue, "Prom is Coming," written by D. Conn 14. R. L. Wilkinson '14, and B. Bundy 'l6.
The Dramatic Association, to encourage undergraduate playwrights, recently staged in the trials for membership in the Association, five one-act plays written by members of the College. Nine plays in all were given in the trials. Forty candidates competed.
