THE FLINT DRAMATIC CLUB.

The Flint Dramatic Club, a society for the study of dramatic art, was organized in 1912, under the direction of Mrs. Patrick R. Doherty. The first play, "The Scrap of Paper," was presented at Stone's Theater in March, of that year. The second year's work resulted in the presentation of "The Banker's Daughter," on February 4, 1913, under the direction of the Rev. Fr. Michael J. Comerford. In 1914 Luther L. Wright, formerly of the state board of education, now superintendent of the Michigan School for the Deaf, directed a pretentious and most successful production of "The College Widow." The club has come to be regarded as a permanent association and has taken a conspicuous place in the club life of the city. A large per cent of the proceeds from the plays are given each year to a charitable organization, under whose auspices the performance is given.
