THE RECORD 1934 p SHAKESPEARE CLUB Cast of Macbetl1 - Macbetl1, Vartan Hartunian: Lady Macbeth, Lola Axelrothg Coach, Mr. Montgomery SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB just as the Shakespeare Club produces every fall a play by the immortal bard, so does our other dramatic organization specialize in the staging of modern comedies and mysteries. Mr. Pim Passes By, the club's most recent production, displayed a calibre of acting and direction seldom found in amateur stage groups. The general excellence of the club's work is due in no small part to the expert guidance and coaching of the faculty sponsor, Miss Marjory Jones. Her untiring effort has made possible the presentation of the intelligently acted, well-staged plays that have gained for the club its widespread reputation for excellent dramatic work. Club membership is determined by tryfouts, and the club this term has organized several freshman dramatic groups, who present playlets before the senior group, and who are thus prepared for future work in the annual plays. Each group is in charge of a club member, who offers valuable suggestions and aid to these junior thespians. CAST OF UMR.
