Royal Family as its first offering on Saturday evening, October 28, in Alumnae Hall. Discontinuing its traditional informal produc- tion, Barnswallows plan to have formal dances follow their three full-length presentations for the 1939-40 season. The dates for the winter and spring plays are Friday and Saturday evenings, December 15-16, and March 15-16. The dramas for these dates are as yet unchosen. Members of the Bishop-Lee Dramatic School in Boston will take the male roles. Barn casts William Thayer, William Hubbard, Mischa Prisco, Peter Mamakos, George Kenngott, and Richard Robbins of the Bishop-Lee School and William Hughes of Harvard University in this first production. Mr. Martin Manulis of New York City will direct all three of Barn's offerings. At Christmas Alumnae will ac- quire a set of Leko lights to aid Barn in the lighting of future productions. It is expected that these lights will cause a revolu- tionary advance over former Barn effects.
