AN INTER-COLLEGIATE REPERTORY THEATRE.
Past and present students of New York's universities and colleges are co-operating to organize an intercollegiate reper- tory theatre. The theatre will be established in a building which is being erected at Sutton Place, near the East River, and the first production will be given in January. Players for the new theatre will be recruited from the college dramatic societies, and the amateurs will be reinforced by former students with experience upon the professional stage. In addition to producing one play a month, the new organization promises to provide day-time and evening instruction in the dramatic arts, and lectures, to which playgoers are to be invited, in the history and literature of the drama. Like Mr. Christopher- Morley, but by different means, the promoters of the intercollegiate enterprise aim to put players and playgoers en rapport. It promises to be an interesting experiment.
