The Shakspere Club are to be congratulated upon the interest which they have manifested in arranging for a course of lectures. The activity of Mr. Jones has resulted in the arrangement of a course of addresses on topics of interest to all who will hereafter "speak in public." The initial lecture will be given in Sanders, on Friday evening of this week. The lecture will be given by Mr. Bronson Howard, of New York, on "The Autobiography of a Play." The address cannot fall to be of great interest, for Mr. Howard is himself a highly successful playwright. He is the author of "The Banker's Daughter," "Young Mrs. Winthrop," and "One of Our Girls," all of which Harvard students have seen acted with pronounced success. Plays of Mr. Howard are at present on the boards at London, Paris, and New York. We understand that Mr. Howard will give some insight into his method of writing a play. We will announce the next lecture, which it is said will be delivered by Mr. Franklin H. Sargent, Director of the New York School of Acting. We congratulate the Shakspere Club on the success of their exertions, and trust that Sanders will not hold the audience of next Friday evening.
