The competition for the Craig Prize in Dramatic Composition amounting to $250, closes today. All manuscripts should be submitted to Professor G. P. Baker '87, 195 Brattle street.

Mr. John Craig, lessee and manager of the Castle Square Theater, who gives the prize, has agreed to undertake the production of the successful play for one week within a year of its acceptance. The prize will take the place of a royalty for that week. If Mr. Craig decides to continue the run, he will pay a royalty of three per cent of the gross receipts for every week thereafter that the performance is continued. He further agrees to do his best to place the play with other managers for regular production, retaining for himself a quarter interest when it is produced elsewhere than in his own theater. Plays may be in three, four or five acts. They will be judged by the standard of fitness for actual dramatic production.

The committee on selection is composed of Mr. John Craig, Mr. H. B. Stanton, and Professor G. P. Baker '87.

The competition is open to all members of the University and Radcliffe College. All intending candidates, when entering the competition, must furnish Professor Baker with such information as shall show their entire good faith. Plays submitted must be the absolute property of the author, and not subject to any copyright or other claim in favor of a third person.
