On the Hanover Stage

One of the causes, or at least, one of the excuses, for the sometimes-lamented peerade evil as well as the occasionally regretted Saturday night evil, is the absence of any legitimate entertainment for the weary undergraduate on week-ends. For this reason dramatic and concert offerings such as the Players' production "Cock Robin," the Gilbert and Sullivan opera "Patience," and the Roland Hayes concert are received with much appreciation.

This year's amateur productions have maintained a high level of excellence. Professor H. F. West, in his review for The Dartmouth of the latest Players' production, offered just previous to the Easter recess, says:

"The Players and Warner Bentley have, in their production of "Who Killed Cock Robin?" exceeded both in acting and directing any play seen in Hanover this year. This with "The Barker" in the offiing is meant as no mean praise.

"The play is a mystery play with the successful advice adroitly managed by the authors, Philip Barry and Elmer Rice, of a play within a play.

"Mystery plays (when mysterious) are always good entertainment and 'Cock Robin' was one of the most successful last year on Broadway. For the month of March (which always misbehaves in Hanover) the Players have provided a pleasant interlude."
