Lee Simonson '09 will speak on "Modern Problems and Achievements in Stage Production" at 8 o'clock tonight in the Living Room of the Union under the auspices of the 47 Workshop. The lecture will be open to all members of the Union, the Dramatic Club and the Workshop.

Standing for the younger group of college-bred playwrights and producers, Lee Simonson has staged numerous shows of types not usually hazarded by the large theatres, and is known as one of the most progressive and artistic producers in the smaller experimental theatres in the country. In this line he has achieved a marked success at the Garrick Theatre in New York, with which he is connected. Among his best-known recent productions have been "John Ferguson" and "Jane Clegg," which is now running there. Mr. Simonson has been connected in his work with S. J. Hume '13, Irving Pichel '14, R. E. Jones '10 and others well known in the theatrical world. While in the University Mr. Simonson was a member of Professor G. P. Baker's English 47.
