HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
"The Harvard Dramatic Club is to be commended for its courage in producing plays which would otherwise not be seen in Boston," declared Philip Hale, music and dramatic critic of the Boston Herald staff, to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday.
"It is a pleasure even now," he continued, "to remember the production by this club of 'Beranger' and the wild play of Don Passos, 'The Moon is a Gong', which was fascinating by reason of its very wildness. We still can see the mourners and clergymen wearing masks as they came into the house where the corpse was lying, entering to the tunes played by a jazz orchestra."
Evreinov Given High Praise
Nikolai Evreinov, author of "Mr Paraclete", this year's Dramatic Club production, is, according to Mr. Hale, one of the greatest living Russian playwrights. "'Mr. Paraclete' was written," the Boston dramatic critic said, "at the apex of this Russian author's career.'
"Paraclete is a term taken from the Greek Orthodox Church," he said, "and means the Holy Ghost."
