THE THEATER CLUB After having re-organized for the 1938-1939 season, the Theater Club drew up a tentative schedule of three plays. It was hoped that a varied selection would appeal to all students interested in dramatics, and with this thought in mind, Victoria Regina, H amlet, and later, The American Way were placed on the club's schedule. On November 5, Mr. Holley took the first group of students into New York to see Helen Hayes in Victoria Regina. This play has been one of the most suc- cessful of the last two Broadway seasons and it was indeed fortunate that the group had the opportunity to see it. Miss Hayes' acting throughout the all-too-short evening was wonderful as she portrayed with the same fervor as on the opening night, the character of the famous queen whose country rose to world-wide power. The next play seen was perhaps the most famous contemporary rendition of H amlef. Maurice Evans played the title role and was ably supported by a notable cast. The surprising part of this production was the fact that, although the play was enacted in its entirety and lasted nearly Eve hours, there was not a dull moment during the entire action. This was indeed a tribute to the fine acting of Maurice Evans and his supporting cast that they could hold the rapt attention of so many people throughout a long evening. Because of having studied Hamlet in English class, the twenty-five boys who made up this group were able to follow every line and scene with understanding and appreciation. The last play the club attended this year was The American W ay, starring Frederic March and his wife, Florence Eldridge. The plot dealt with the life of a German immigrant who rose to wealth and respect in a mid-western American town. Its scenes, typically American, were familiar to all in the audience, but it was the praiseworthy acting and patriotic spirit of the play that made it such a success with the members of the Theater Club.
