"The Inspector General," a 19th century satire on Russian provincial life, was presented by the Harvard Dramatic Club Reading Theater yesterday afternoon in the Fogg Large Room. About 150 persons attended the production.

Players read directly from script without benefit of scenery or costumes. Readers worked in some action and facial expressions into their presentation.

The Reading Theater, under the direction of Richard E. Norris '52, will give the second of its fall series on Monday, November 14. The play for that day will be chosen at a meeting of the HDC executive board tomorrow.
