PROFESSOR PACKARD WILL DIRECT H. D. C. PRODUCTION

By special arrangement with the English department, Assistant Professor F. C. Packard Jr. '20 has been secured to direct "Hassan," the spring production of the Harvard Dramatic Club.

When he was an undergraduate he was a member of the 47 Workshop Company of Professor G. P. Baker '87. While on the stage in New York City he did acting and stage managing with the Production Group of Kenneth MacGowan '11, Robert Edmund Jones '11, and Eugene O'Neill '15, in a number of plays including O'Neill's "The Great God Brown." Before going on the stage Professor Packard was an assistant in public speaking under I. L. Winter of Harvard. Last year he was director of dramatics at Dartmouth College, and during the summer of 1927 he was in Europe as one of the three American representatives at the conference of dramatic critics of Salzburg, Austria, observing the productions of Max Reinhardt in his famous "Festspielhaus."
