This article presents information on the book "The Dramatic Festival," by Anne A.T. Craig, with a "foreword" by Percival Chubb and an introduction by Peter W. Dykema. The book deals with forms of plays and festivals appropriate for presentation in school. The Shakespeare Summer Festival at Stratford will begin this year on August 3 and will last four weeks F.R. Benson and his company will appear nightly, and the following plays will be performed each week: "Antony and Cleopatra," "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream," "Othello," "As You Like It," "Henry the Fifth," "The Merry Wives of Windsor," "The Rivals," and "If I Were King." In addition there will be classes in folk songs and folk-dance, a folk-drama conference, and lectures on various other subjects connected with the drama.
