Playwrights' Society Opens Script Contest

The Playwrights Groups of Harvard and Radcliffe yesterday opened a contest for the best original script written by an undergraduate of either college.

The winning piece will not be chosen until October, in order to permit completion of any unfinished plays over the summer. Prizes will be decided and announced in the near future.

Judges for the contest are Archibald MacLeish, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory; Elinor Hughes, drama critic for the Boston Herald; William Van Lonnep, curator of the Theatre Collection, Houghton Library; and two others, to be announced.
