Presenting "The Sahara Derby" in seven eastern and middle western cities the Dartmouth Players completed their spring tour, making it a popular and a financial success. In Cleveland, Chicago, and Detroit especially large audiences received the production with evident warmth.
A record crowd of 2200 attended the performance in Cleveland, which was in the hands of the Cleveland Alumni Association. For the first time in the history of the Players Chicago was included in the itinerary. Here too the local alumni association was in charge. An audience of 1800 attended at the Windy City performance. At Detroit too the alumni association was in charge and succeeded in attracting a large crowd. Other stops included Newark, N.J., Toledo, 0., and Peekskill, N.Y. The members of the company were given luncheons and entertained royally everywhere. And a dance followed nearly every performance.
