...Gropper Art Galleries--had at one time been used as a police gymnasium. Several theatre groups have had their ups and downs in the building, of which probably the best-remembered was the late and occasionally lamented (except by the handful of Cambridge citizens who were badly "bitten" in frequent drives for money) Brattle Theatre Company, which staged 58 plays in the period 1948-52. Bryant Halliday '49 was general manager of the Brattle Theatre Company's last legitimate season in the summer of 1952, and his part- ner, Cyrus I. Harvey Jr. '47, had also been connected with...
...greatest vocal adversary of the PTA and the other opposition groups is the voluble Fitzgerald. The Committee-man alternately adopts a tone of righteous innocence or angry impoliteness, with the latter being more frequent. He at one meeting called Shaplin a "big bum," and has persistently complained that the Dean has "impugned all our motives." On another occasion, Fitzgerald had CRIMSON photographers ejected from a committee meeting. He insists that, examinations or not, Cambridge residents should be given preference for teaching positions. With just as much rigor, he opposes the merit system, claiming that it is the "greatest fraud ever...
...walled booths. Each tries to amass 21 points by answering questions in categories over which he has no choice. The questions are worth from one to eleven points according to difficulty, and by picking the number, he can choose how hard a question he wants (Van Doren's frequent strategy is to pick the tough 10-and 11-point questions and go for a quick 21). At the end of the second round, either contestant can stop the game if he thinks he is ahead. The winner gets $500 a point for the difference between his score...
...last couple of years have witnessed the college staging of other plays by Williams, as well as works of Miller, Fry, and Chekhov, all of whom then had plays running in New York. While these men are among the best of modern playwrights, their works do receive quite frequent productions by the commercial theater. Obviously college theater should not pretend or even wish to be a substitute for the commercial stage. Its particular strength is the possession of an audience which is able and often willing to support others beside the cocktail-party playwrights...
...requiring grand production. Instead of these, we get imitations of Broadway--and Shakespeare. Even worse than the popular modern playwrights, Shakespeare provides the staple for Harvard's dramatic diet. While it is laudable to produce nearly any of his works, the fact remains that Shakespeare also receives frequent performances. Two or three of his works can generally be found on the board in New York. The frequency with which Shakespeare is produced at the University approaches being too much of a good thing, and any theater which depends too heavily on one playwright, however great, is not completely healthy...
