"MARCO" CHOICE

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Mr. Schoenberg's review of "Marco Millions" is mistaken in assuming that any individual "must take the greatest blame"--or praise--for the choice of a production. Since in actual fact the play was amply discussed and chosen in full club meeting and in conjunction with the Harvard Theatre Committee, it is no more fair to do this than for me to hold Mr. Langguth fully responsible for the editorial views of the CRIMSON. Matters of policy must be ascribed to the organizations as a whole in both cases.

But more fundamentally, policy making is not the business of any outsider, no matter how it is done. The policy itself and its execution alone are subject to criticism. Thus Mr. Shoup is liable to criticism only as the producer of the club's choice. In this role I believe he deserves great praise, more than the CRIMSON reviewer has given him, to say the least.
