French Theatre Director to Speak

By invitation of the 47 Workshop, M. Jacques Copeau, director of the experimental Theatre du Vieux Colombier of Paris, will speak in Harvard 1 next Wednesday, April 11, at 8 o'clock. The public is invited to this lecture which will be given in French.

M. Gopeau is to speak on his theatrical work. He is one of the leaders in France of the experimental theatre which is aiming to renovate the French drama. His idea is to break up that spirit in the French theatres which corresponds to the spirit of commercialism in the American theatres, and to give the drama more life and spontaneity. At present M. Copeau is giving six conferences on his work at the Little Theatre in New York City.
