Kazan May Bow Out As Spencer Lecturer

Stage and screen director Elia Kazan still doesn't know when he'll find the time to deliver this year's Theodore Spencer Foundation Memorial lecture. He told the CRIMSON yesterday that other commitments may keep him from giving the talk when he comes to Boston for the tryout of "Flight into Egypt," the play he is currently directing. The show opens in Boston on March 3, and the New York premiere is set for March 13.

Kazan was chosen is December by an English Department faculty committee to give the second lecture in the annual series honoring the late Theodore Spencer, who was Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory from 1945 until his death in 1949. Last year, T. S. Eliot '10 lectured on "Poetry and Drama."
