Followers of the theatre will be interested in the latest venture in the dramatic field in Boston,--the Stage Guild. This organization, which is now beginning its third week at the Peabody Play House, plans to produce, for two weeks each a number of plays which would otherwise never be seen outside of New York. Such plays as "Ambush", with which the Guild opened its season, "March Hares", which it is playing with great success at present, "The Deluge", by Henning Berger, and Philip Moeler's "Sophie", which are coming in the next month, would never find their...

His finished, keenly appreciative acting goes far to make this particular Stage Guild Production the undoubted success that it is. But his perfection does not stand alone. Maryalice Secoy, late of the '47 Workshop has the part of Janet, which she takes with an understanding and ability worthy of actors far more experienced; and Madeline Massey, another of Professor Baker's former charges...
