...rent for a cottage with one bedroom, $12 more for each additional bedroom. The one-room apartments will rent for $35 a month. Residents will get free medical care in Salhaven's 32-bed convalescent hospital, swim in one of 15 pools, work off spare energy in a workshop making furniture for Salhaven's cottages and apartments...
Members then founded the New Theatre Workshop, the original purpose of which was to present one-act plays written by Harvard authors. A dearth or original creations sent its original purpose to an early grave, but the Workshop has since become a training ground for actors, producers, and directors. It is a sort of preparatory school for major HDC productions. At present, however, Robert H. Chapman, associate professor of English, is helping the organization to return to its original purpose. He has given the members five original plays written in his English Ya playwriting course which they will consider...
...year's recess following World War I, decided to abandon the production of undergraduate plays. They gave as their reason their opinion that these plays had proved too confining, and that the need for "filling the gap between the younger playwrights and Broadway" was being met by the 47 Workshop. The Club's new administration thus decided to produce works which had not previously been given in the United States. For seven years they concentrated on foreign works, but in 1924 it decided that "the trouble with the American theater is that it is not American," and began to make...
After the original policy was rejected, Baker's influence began to wane. For years Baker had striven for the construction of a theater in which to house the productions of his Workshop and the HDC, but in vain. Plans had been drawn up in 1914 for a theater of advanced design, but this, despite the Harvard Alumni Bulletin's warning that "the need is pressing; the opportunity is unique," never amounted to anything. In 1924, Yale offered Baker the theater he wanted and the opportunity to teach nothing but playwriting--which he could not do at Harvard--and in that...
...note that the Club is also returning--in a small way still to be sure--to another of the founders' major objectives, namely the production of original scripts. Chapman's interest in this has played no small part in the movement, although at present it is restricted to the Workshop level. While it is nice to bring plays to Harvard which have been done at the St. James or the Globe, it is equally, if not more, valuable and exciting to produce original works. The HDC is realizing this at the Workshop level; someday it may accept it once again...
