...Daniel Seltzer, acting director of the Loeb, announced yesterday the formation of a "repertory company" of 130 to 140 students which will combine lectures and discussions with normal rehearsals. The company's program, which will begin carly this December, will culminate in full-length productions of Shakespeare's King Lear and Julius Caesar, and concert reading of Marlowe's Tamburlaine, the Jew of Malta, Edward II, and Dr. Faustus...

One would have liked to see Lynn Milgrim alone, not overwhelmed; but even with Clytemnestra there, she spoke a Cassandra that thrilled...

Daniel Seltzer, assistant professor of English and acting director of the Loeb, will direct the production. There will be no admission charge for the performance, in which David Stone '64, Paul Schmidt '65, and Frances Gitter '65 play the leading roles...
