Hemingway Judges

Harvard and Radcliffe's Playwrights Groups have lined up Ernest Hemingway as the fifth judge for the clubs' script contest, closing October 10.

Other judges announced last spring are the groups' sponsor William Van Lennep, chairman; Elinor Hughes, Boston Herald dramatic critic; Mary Martin; and Archibald MacLeish, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory.

"Sure," Hemingway said in his letter of acceptance. Hemingway's latest novel, "Across the River and Into the Trees" has attracted much literary comment recently. John O'Hara, writing in the "New York Times Magazine," commented that Hemingway's book had "real class."
