Show THE ^DRAMATIC COUNCIL [ELECTED by the students, this council's duties lie in governing the varsity productions. The manager, Joseph Decker, who was selected by the council, proved himself an able executive of the annual drama's business. Having managed the Freshman play the year before, Decker was acquainted with play management and therefore prepared for this work. The council's selection of Booth Tarking-ton's comedy, "The Intimate Strangers" for this year's annual play, met with the student-body's hearty approval. Professor Maud May Babcock was chosen to direct the play. Professor Babcock has long been the pivot of dramatic movement in Utah. Her selection was logical and natural. It is the desire and purpose of the Dramatic Council to foster, encourage and develop drama at the University of Utah. They have at their finger tips some of the best talent in the intermountain west. Their own talents are always available. When possible they bring the world's greatest dramatic artists here to talk to dramatic classes on the campus. Through their cooperation and that of the proper authorities, the dramatic training at Utah has come to be classed as one of the leading dramatic courses in all the western colleges. H Miss Maud May Babcock, Head of the Department of Public Speaking. sJllfc ^¦' . ¦ ¦ . • > " MMlliiiMiifil « 3ral l^lpp^flllllllgfpsl i" • Smith, Decker, Babcock, Iverson Q;0€3TJ [142] i-tten |
