MANY MAJOR STUDENTS BACK
IN DEPARTMENT.
Mabel Holmes Parsons’ Manuscript
“Real Things” First on List
for Presentation.
With practically every major in
1 the department of public speaking
I back and some promising new ma
terial to work with, Professor Fergus
Reddie is making plans for a big play
producing year. Leads will be chos
en from “The Company,” now com
posed of seven advanced students of
the department, most of whom were
active in plays last year. Arrange
ments have been made so that the
more, worth while plays may be stag
ed in Portland this winter after they
have been put on for the University.
First among the plays to be pres
ented this year is Mabel Holmes
Parsons’ recent manuscript entitled
“Real Things,” a problem play in;
four acts. The cast will be chosen
soon from faculty and student talent
and work will begip so that the pro
duction can be staged in November,
both here and in Portland. This is
the first of Mrs. Parsons’ plays which
has ever been used by the University.
Another probability for the season
is “The Little Dog Laughed,” a fan
tasy in three acts, written by Pro
fessor Reddie. This will be given
near Thanksgiving time both in Guild
hall and in Portland. The play
created much interest tfhen it was
given here two years ago and the
department has been asked to pre
sent it again. The manuscript came
out this summer in book form, print
ed by the Gorham Press in Boston
as one of the American Dramatists’
series. It is the first play published
by Professor Reddie since he came
to the University although he had
several printed before that time.
“Bobby,” a comedy In three acts,
written last winter by Professor Red
die and Norville Thompson, will be
staged some time this winter accord
ing to the present schedule. It was
to have been produced last spring,
but owing to lack of time it was
postponed until this season.
“Huckleberry Finn” is one of the
bigger things which will be put on
later. Many one-act plays are under
consideration and will be given
throughout the year in both after
noon and evening performances.
Girls’ Glee Director Named
Leland A. Coon, newly appointed
head of the vocal department at the
school of music, is to be director for
| the girls’ glee club for this year.
! Further than that no information
i about the club or the tryouts can be
obtained until a later date, accord
ing to Dr. Landsbury, on account of
the confusion of registration in the
music department.
