thought, devote his repertory

It's a major problem, Festival
Theater soon discovered, was that
of finding plays to perform in
repertory. A recent Broadway
passion for revivalS has used up
the standard repertory works OF
Shaw, Barrie, Chekhov, Ibsen,
Wilde, Shakespeare and some
others. Fortunately, Miss Hayden
was one of the founders of the
Equity Library Theater and Mr.
Wanamaker was associated with
her, so they could recall a num-
ber Of plays that had SO far been
overlooked.
