The Critics Circle is highly Pleased at the increased interest in theatrical activity at Harvard, and hopes that it will continue unabated in the future. The theatre may be, as Brooks Atkinson said recently, "the cruelest of the Professions"; but at the student level its worthwhileness as an extracurricular activity is unsurpassed, both in its many inherent benefits to those taking part and in its cultural and educational stimulus to those beholding it. Has not many a sage told us that all the World's a stage?
