LAMBS SUCCESSFULLY STAGE THREE ONE ACT PLAYS
August, 1923

In their annual attempt to uncover acting talent which has been hidden under bushels the Lambs staged three one-act plays in the Little Theatre about a week before college closed. Perhaps it was the springtime and the appeal of out-of-doors that combined to bring a woefully medium sized audience to see the plays.

Of the three Lord Dunsany's tragic melo most applause. R. H. Minton '26 as the most applause. R. H. Minton '26 as the well and succeeded in getting his effects. "King Alfred and the Neat Herd," an his torical episode which has been dramatized by Maurice Baring served acceptably as a curtain raiser. C. D. Webster '26 did well in this. In Schnitzler's '"Literature" E. J. Duffy '26 and Neil Williams '25 showed ability.

If the performance were repeated about three times a year Darrmouth dramatics, we feel sure, would take a terrific upward swerve and perhaps reach another peak, which might rival in height the one of prewar days. If the Lambs would put on their plays when the out-of-doors offers fewer rival attractions, they would find the undergraduates responding to a more expansive program with an appreciative support.
