Even at this late date a last call is being made for a manuscript of a play worthy of the preferred prize and production. It would be a disgrace to our dramatic talent to let the chance go by unchallenged. Competitors of any sort are an eleventh hour genus, and so we are not in dispair. When the competition finally closes we are confident that something worth while will be handed in. Harvard has a reputation for play-writing that must be maintained...

Then after a short address by Dean Yeomans, there will be four moving picture rolls, absorbing, dramatic, and humorous. Then the class will drift to the Dining Room, where it will find refreshments and "music as she is played by Kanrich." When satiated, the class, on returning to the Living Room, will find all kinds of novelties and games waiting, not least of which...
