...submit them. Really good one-act plays are acceptable and any of unusual merit will be given the best possible production by the Dramatic Club. Longer plays are also solicited, for if the short works are not up to standard the club may depart from its usage and stage a play lasting two or two and a half hours. It is possible, also, that a moderately long play, preceded by a curtain-raiser, may be presented if that seems wise considering the material submitted. Manuscripts should be sent to J. K.
