After more than 14 years of service to the University, Business Manager Aldrich Durant '02 will leave his post this June. He will resign under the University rule which requires all officers to resign in the month of June following their sixty-sixth birthday...
Where Stars Walk (by Micheál MacLiammóir; produced by Richard Aldrich & Richard Myers, in association with Brian Doherty) is the Dublin Gate Theater's third Broadway production and first wholly inside job. Written by one of the Gate's two founders and star performers, the play isn't really much good but it is often exceedingly pleasant.

Ezra Stone, still unhappily and profitably playing Henry Aldrich at 30, would try Shylock. Jack Pearl would try King Lear; Morey Amsterdam was set to do Cyrano. Henry Morgan agreed to do a show, but couldn't decide on a role: "Anything but Shakespeare . . . I told them to get me something where a guy goes crazy. With a little nudge I can go out of my mind quite easily...
