The first venture was "The Promised Land," by Allan Davis, '07. The merit of the production did much to establish the calibre of work which could be expected of the Harvard Dramatic Club. Hermann Hagedorn, '07 poet and playwright, wrote two of the four one-act playlets which comprised the next bill--presented in the spring...
