Stage Hands Picket Production at Loeb

A capacity crowd had to brave a picket line to see L'Ecole des Femmes at the Loeb yesterday. The three pickets belonged to the local stagehands union (IATSE-AFL-CIO), and they were protesting the fact that no union hands were hired on the stage crew of the Moliere play.

"We are not protesting student stage starting of student productions," Jeremiah Galvin, business manager of the union, declared. "But the Vieux Colombier is a professional troupe, not a student one. He said that in the past the union has worked on stage crews for many productions in Sanders Theatre.
