"SAHARA DERBY" PREPARES FOR WESTERN TRIP

Encouraged by the evident success of "The Sahara Derby" in two Hanover performances and by the flood of favorable criticism from all sources the Dartmouth Players have arranged to take the entire cast of the show on a western tour Easter vacation. The itinerary will include stops in Newark, N. J., New York City, Cleveland, O., Chicago, Ill., Toledo, O., Detroit, Mich., and Peekskill, N. Y.

After the second performance in Hanover "The Sahara Derby" went into the workshop to be primed for the trip. Authors, critics, professors, and Ben Ames Williams have joined forces to rub out the dark places in the musical comedy and to burnish up the bright spots. Mr. Williams saw the second performance and said that he thought it "all right when it got speeded up" and then proceeded to make several excellent suggestions for speeding it up.

Forty-five men, including the orchestra, will make the trip. Special arrangements have been made for transportation of scenery, properties and costumes. The show represents the best work of the Players in two years both musically and humorously. The plot, the songs, the wit, everything in fact, is admirably adapted to production by a group of college students.
