Original 'Joan' to Assist Workshop

Winnifred Lenighan, the first woman ever to portray St. Joan, will again fill the little role in Shaw's tragedy next term when the Theater Workshop gives a reading of the famous play.

The actress, who played Joan at the 1924 New York opening, has told the HTW that she would like to read the play with them when she arrives in Boston later this year.

The Workshop's production of "St. Joan" last spring was one of the most successful plays over given at the College. Its five-day run, according to reviews, produced "some of the finest acting and most superb staging ever seen on the Sanders stage and probably anywhere in the vicinity of Harvard."

Miss Lenighan's appearance with the Workshoppers will take place sometime before Easter.
