THE MOUNTAIN AND THE DRAMATIC CLUB

The Harvard Dramatic Club has not yet made extensive tours with its annual productions, and as a result is perhaps not so widely known as 47 Workshop and the Glee Club, soon to have an international reputation. But what it loses in not venturing far from the center of culture, it seems to be gaining in the scope of the plays which it presents. Tonight, at its first spring performance, will be seen a Japanese "Noh" play, an English farce, and Maeterlinck's "The Blind." This year, as last, its audience can be assured at least of a cosmopolitan enough entertainment.

The Dramatic Club, in its post-war rejuvenation adopted a bold policy in devoting itself to presenting foreign plays never before produced in America. Only the success which attended the performances this year and last would have justified such an ambitious program. The Dramatic Club is not yet able to go on tour even in America. In the meantime, reversing Mahomet's expedient, it is bringing plays from all the corners of the world to its local public. Perhaps in time it will find that its name has become as well known as if it had performed for a season in the Theatre Francais.
