THE HARVARD THEATRE.

That the University, with many ambitious playwrights and capable actors, and courses in dramatic training fame of which is international, should have no adequate theatre, has long been a matter of comment and regret. It is therefore gratifying to read that definite steps are being taken to establish a modern theatre for the exclusive use of the University. English 47 has outgrown its Workshop and it deserves a new one, big enough to meet its needs. This valuable course has been too long handicapped by insufficient equipment. Better dramatic training and a greater scope will be certain results of the building of the modern theatre for which satisfactory plans have been drawn. Nor will English 47 alone derive benefit from the new theatre. Many organizations which have hitherto been forced to stage their plays in club houses or halls that are too small or poorly equipped, will now be able to take advantage of a carefully planned, and fully equipped theatre. There are many reasons for urging that the movement for a Harvard Theatre be given the encouragement and support of graduates and undergraduates. Some practical ones have been adduced; but an equally important result of the new theatre would be a stimulation and increase of interest in good drama in the University.
