Eighty-five non-members, a record number, attended the open meeting of the Dramatic Club last night in the Trophy Room of the Union. Of these 40 signed for trials for parts in the play and most of the remaining 45 are candidates for the stage and business departments of the club.

Professor G. P. Baker '87 spoke on the work of the club since its founding in 1908, citing as an example of its success the winning of the Craig Prize by Cleves Kinkead, whose play, "The Four-flushers," was put on by the club last spring.

Owing to a delay in the decision of the judges the title of the winning play could not be announced.

There will be a meeting of all candidates for the stage and business staffs of the club in Hampden 31 tomorrow evening at 7.30 o'clock. On Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock the play to be presented this fall will be read in Phillips Brooks House. Any men desiring to try for parts in this production who did not sign up last night may do so at this time. The trials will be held in the Trophy Room of the Union Friday evening at 7 o'clock. Candidates will be required to read a prepared portion of some dramatic work as well as a selection from the play to be produced.
