ALICE SPALDING Department of Speech Drama at Allegheny The Alice Huntington Spalding Theater, which is undoubtedly the foremost cultural achievement in Allegheny, is not only a striking novelty offered by generous donors, but more, a culmination of a spirit which has existed for years and which has evolved by means of the relentless determination and the earnest labors of our imaginative and colorful head of the Department of Speech, along with her many students and co- laborers in the field of dramatics. The Play Production Department has been greatly assisted by Francis Asbury Arter, President Beebe, Louis Magaziner, and the trustees for whose contributions all Allegheny is most grateful. Since the organization of Duzer Du in 1909 and its sister organization, Klee-O-Kleet, dramatics have passed from the stage of the Academy Theater, where the first play was produced, from the crowded, unequipped, third Hoor plant of Bentley Hall to the little gem of a theater in Arter Hall. Throughout the whole world during the last century, dramatics has passed from a crude work carried on by playwrights, stagehands, and actors to a real art made possible by the entrance of the mechanical, electrical, literary and artistic forces, all of which, incorporated, aim to create a beautiful, living picture. Allegheny, too, has endeavored to make its drama a finer art, and due to the new equip- ment and the contributions of the following, it has succeeded far beyond the expecta- tions of all. MISf MR.
