here.
The project, which already has
passed through initial organization

prototype of the famous Stanford
on the Avon Festival which at
tracts thousands of theatre lovers
back to England every spring An
nouncement of the festival was
made by the Actors Equity associ-
alton, which Is sponsoring the
movement
This event is expected to exceed
by far tho English festival. Where
as at Stratford only Shakespearean
drama is produced with small pro-
fessional stock company, the Amer
Jean festival will produce the best
plays Of every country and age with
casts which would bankrupt any

movement announce. The eight
performances will cover the dra-
matte field from Euripides to Shaw

to help him make his theatre big
ger and better By awakening the
public imagination.
Our week will include three
plays OF Shakespeare. comprising
one OF his best known comedies, one
of his most famous tragedies and
one Of the lesser known group
whose glories are little understood
because they are SO rarely pro-
duced. The other performances
will include the best plays OF all ma
tons and periods-Moliere. Calde-
ron, Sheridan, Pinero. Racine, Arts-
tophanes beaumont and Fletcher.
Rostand, NARROW, etc. We
shall give one Of the great mus
