Casting is complete, sets are being built, and rehearsals are now in progress for the Dramatic Club's first American ply in six years, Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset," which opens a split week at Brattle Hll May 2. Last HDC home grown production was Eugene O'Neill's "The Great God Brown" in the spring of 1940.

Theodore Allegretti '47, who starred in the HDC production of Synge's "Playboy of the Western World" in 1943, heads a cast in which Miss Kay Casselle, Radcliffe '47, Edwin Franklin '47, Andrew McCullough '47, Louis Weinman '46, Robert Lubchansky '48, and John Simon '45 also play leading roles. A Simmons College girl has been cast in a minor part.

Production manager for the Anderson play is Peter V. Poor '47. Sets were designed by James LaMantier '47 and are now being constructed under the direction of Paul Burggraf '48.

"Winterset," which was written around the Sacco-Vanzetti case of 1927, was produced on Broadway in 1935.
