THE COPLEY THEATRE

Most repertory theatres are not a paying proposition--as Arnold Daly recently found out in New York, much to his discouragement. Boston has the Jewett Players, who seem to get along; but now, unfortunately, we are threatened with losing them, for the Copley Theatre is to be torn down to make way for the Stuart Street extension. Mr. Jewett will be without a "roofe to shrowd his head".

This is of particular interest to members of the University. If there is one place in Boston where the pleasure craving undergraduate can go regularly week after week, where he can find a solid diet of excellent plays excellently acted, where he can count on having his money's worth of amusement, it is the Copley Theatre. Besides contributing largely to Copley audiences, Harvard men have frequently acted with the company as "supes"; and many University organizations have given performances and concerts there, thus coming to know Mr. Jewett personally. Harvard feels at home in the Copley.

It is quite in the nature of things, therefore, that the Glee Club and the Pierian Sodality--now in its hundred and fourteenth season--are giving a joint concert at the Copley Theatre tomorrow afternoon, the proceeds of which are to go to the Jewett Repertory Fund--to be used in erecting a new theatre. Need we say that the concert and the cause are both of immediate interest to us?
