SCHOOL OF DRAMA WILL GIVE "HONEY HOLLER" IN FALL

The Cambridge School of the Drama announced yesterday that it will present as its first production of the school year 1930-1931 the premier performance of "Honey Holler", the first play of R. K. Mackaye '23. Since his graduation, Mackaye has engaged in journalism, professional acting, and stage management.

The play will be produced on November 13, 14, and 15, and Percy Mackaye '97 the distinguished playwright, a member of the Board of Governors of the Cambridge School of the Drama, will cooperate in the staging of the production.

The play was accepted for production by the Provincetown Playhouse in New York this year and was abandoned only when the organization disbanded its production activities. James Light, Director of the Provincetown Playhouse, wrote of the play: 'Honey Holler' is a play of high quality. The characters and their speech constitute a new field in American folk lore. Compared with O'Neill's and Glasspell's beginning its author, Keith Mackaye, is already in the middle of a development and the quality of this play, I am sure, will produce very great works".

In announcing the production, Mr. Lovejoy, director of the Cambridge School of the Drama said, "It should be part of the contribution of the School to produce from time to time plays of extraordinary merit which are not necessarily products of our own playwriting classes. We consider ourselves fortunate indeed to be able to present this highly significant first play of Keith MacKaye's as a part of this service to the students and the University Community. The second production of the year will be a three act play written by a student in the school this year. There are at least three such plays from which to choose".
