The MacDowell Fellowship of $600, offered by the MacDowell Club of New York for the best original play submitted in the yearly competition, has been awarded this year to Miss Rachel Barton Butler, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The prize play is a light social comedy of manners in three acts entitled "Prudence in Particular." This play is practically sure to be produced by the Workshop later in the year. Professor G. P. Baker '87 judged the competition.
The MacDowell Club of New York offers this fellowship every year to any unmarried person in the country and to such students of Harvard and Radcliffe as have done promising work in connection with the drama and have not taken Professor Baker's course on the "Technique of the Drama." The purpose of the fellowship is to enable people who have real aptitude for dramatic work, to have the benefit of instruction which they would not otherwise have the means of obtaining.
