In its issue for April 1921, the Theatre Magazine devoted a whole page to pictures of the Dramatic Club's fall production of the past season, Lady Gregory's "Dragon", speaking particularly of the settings and lighting, while Mr. H. T. Parker '90, the famous dramatic critic, in his review of the spring plays, says, "the settings, the lighting, the stage-management were nearly impeccable...
