Porgy. While the Theatre Guild's most highly paid employes* were weaving spells for gratified Chicago audiences and the first road company? was about to open in Hanover, N. H., to a rapt gathering of Dartmouth undergraduates, the Guild raised its Manhattan curtain on a troupe of Negroes.

Today in particular is the Vagabond ready to burst forth. Late last night he disturbed the occupants of a certain dormitory with his efforts to master the war whoop of a Dartmouth Indian on the march, so that he might be polite when he greets his New Hampshire friends.
