.StrickIo land to
DirectCivic

The Washington Civic Theater
will have as its director for the
1878 season F.. CoWleS Strick-
land, Of Manchester, Conn, the
board Of governors has announced.
The theater is greatly pleased
that it has been able to obtain Mr..
Strickland'S services. When it was
announced that Day futile, who
did such a splendid job as director
during the past season, had &C
copied an offer elsewhere, many
friends of the theater felt it had
suffered an irreparable loss. With
the coming of Mr.. Strickland,
however, the board feels that it
has found a man who can step into
the place left by Mr.. Tuttle and
carry the theater on to even
greater achievements.
Mr.. Strickland has just come
from a four-year service as direc-
tor of the st. Louis Little Theater,
a noncommercial organization
very like the Civic. He left behind
him in st. Louis an enviable repu.
tation and a theater which was
greatly improved and developed
during his years there.
