"It must have been built on the
European plan because it certainly
isn't like any American town I've
ever seen," stated Margaret Cotton,
'42, in referring to Provincetown,
Mass., picturesque Portuguese fish-
ing village-which this year witnessed
an experiment in cooperative theatre
production so successful that it will
probably be repeated next summer.

boxoffice receipts of the Wharf The-

theatre group, chosen from the Cleve-

troupe. Among the 12 members
selected were Miss Cotton, Dorothy
Morris, '43, and Vahan Kalajan, '40.
ProductipPs Are Varied
Productions ranged from Shake-
speare's "As You Like It" to an
adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice

members doing all the staging, cos-

of four Shakespearean plays was al-

morning except Friday, when plays
for children were given, after the
matinees, and after dinner until 9
p.m. "And then wedwere free to do
whatever we wanted," Miss Cotton
said, "which meant learning our lines
most of the time."
