Operating under a brand new constitution, following a complete reorganization caused by permitting a man on probation to act in its fall play, the Dramatic Club has received official permission to put on a spring production. Rumors that there would be no spring play of any sort have thus been effectively dispelled.

Fifty-Second Play

The production, the fifty-second of the Club, is a comedy entitled "The Wind and the Rain," by Merton Hodge. There will be three evening performances at the Peabody Playhouse, Boston, on April 30, May 1, and May 2.

The plot of this play, which is Mr. Hodge's first published work, deals with undergraduate life in the Edinburgh Medical School. Opening in London in October, 1933, at St. Martin's Theatre, the play has played well over 1000 performances.

At the time "The Wind and the Rain" opened, the "Theatre World" said, "It is a charming comedy of Scottish student life, notable for its dexterous character drawing, amusing dialogue and delightful love scenes . . . strongly recommended to all lovers of light comedy."

Director Wins Prize

S. Wesley McKee, graduate of the Yale School of the Drama, arrived here two days ago to take charge of the direction of the play. McKee was director of the original New York production of Sigurjonsson's "The Farm" and was former director of the Connecticut Summer Company. In 1934 and 1935 he won first prize in the New York competition for the production and direction of plays.
