A Letter

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

With regard to Mr. Lottman's article in today's Review, I should like to mention that, as a resident of the Canton-Massillion area I was able to observe from the outside the effect Music Theatre had on what is in truth a non-intellectual populace, at least if compared with a community such as Cambridge. There was a great deal of good publicity for the group which was circulated on a purely individual basis after Fanny's only moderately successful run and I feel this went a long way toward conditioning audience for The Boy Friend. The company's efforts were appreciated by all and there was a general consciousness of the difficulties under which they were working. No publicity is worth a good who even in "hardheaded Ohio," and a theatre audience is made not born. What Ohio,-and for that matter Iown and Idaha-needs is less condescension and more people like Lottman and Barnhart. R. T. McDONALD
