ETHEL BARRYMORE THINKS PROFESSOR BAKER NEGLECTED

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Even Ethel Barrymore is worked up over last week's false report that Professor George Pierce Baker '87 of 47 Workshop fame was going to leave Harvard due to the failure of the University authorities to provide proper equipment.

Yesterday when interviewed in her. Boston hotel Miss Barrymore talked excitedly of the 47 Workshop and its head. "I think that the discontinuance of Professor Baker's work for even a single year would be too terrible", she stated emphatically to the reporter as soon as she learned he was from the CRIMSON. "Tell me", she queried, "is it true that as great a university as Harvard is really neglecting one of the foremost authorities on the drama in this country?"

Then gasping with astonishment and continuing before the reporter could reply, Miss Barrymore launched into a eulogy of Professor Baker. "Tell them I can not express how strong my support and admiration of Professor Baker is", was her parting remark as she hurried away in a taxi for the afternoon performance of "The Second Mrs. Tanquery."
