MAX REINHARDT TO ATTEND HDC PLAY

Max Reinhardt, the noted director, will attend the premiere of the Harvard Dramatic Club's production of "Mashenka" tomorrow night in Brattle Hall, HDC official revealed last night.

Reinhardt is recognized as the greatest of the German school of directors, due to his work in the field of stage design and experimentation in lighting and other extraordinary effects. He has directed plays all over Europe--in Paris, Vienna, and Berlin--and in his castle at Leopoldskron he put on several pion-eering productions.

Reproduced Cathedral

His work in America was "The Miracla," sponsored by Morris Gest. This play, aside from its dramatic significance, was famed for Reinhardt's reproduction of an actual cathedral on the stage.

In recent years he gave Mickey Rooney and Olivia de Havilland their start in the motion picture "The Midsummer Night's Dream," which he directed, and has since sent many young actors and actresses on the road to stardom.

In his recent stage production, "The Eternal Road", he made use of another gigantic cathedral, which made that of "The Miracle" seem like a chapel by comparison.
