GROUND BROKEN FOR NEW GUILD THEATRE

Dramatic Club to be Opened to New Men Wednesday Night--Capable Actors Will go to Woods Hole

Ground for the new theatre of the University Players Guild at Woods Hole. Massachusetts has already been broken, it was announced last night by T. J. Smith '30, manager of the Harvard Dramatic Club. The Guild, comprised of 25 players, ran a two months season at Falmouth last summer, netting a $11000 gross gain. As a result of this success, it plans to open the new $40.000 theatre next summer for two months, after which the players will perform during the winter season in New York City.

Harvard Men Act at Falmouth

Last summer there were eight members of the Dramatic Club at Falmouth, the other members being from Yale, Princeton, Minnesota, Smith, Vassar, and Radcliffe; the future plans are to take graduates from many more colleges to prepare them, in the New York season, for a professional career. The directors are Charles Leatherbee '28, president of the Harvard Dramatic Club last year, and Bretaigne Windust, president of the Princeton Theatre Intime of the University Players Guild.

Dramatic Club Calls Candidates

Candidates for the business, publicity, and stage departments of the Dramatic Club will meet Wednesday at Ridgely Annex at 7 o'clock. Men who prove capable in the Club's performances this winter and next spring will be taken to the Woods Hole Theatre next summer, from which they may act in the New York theatre after leaving college. Acting candidates will sign the blue books at Leavitt and Peirce's.
