Hallie Flanagan, fiftyish, is the widow of Philip H. Davis, Vassar Greek professor. She was born in Redfield, S. Dak., went to Grinnell College. Iowa, and Radcliffe, assisted the late George Pierce Baker at his Harvard dramatic workshop. In 1926 she was the first woman to win a Guggenheim Fellowship, on which she studied the theatre in twelve European countries and wrote Shifting Scenes of the Modern European Theater. Her admiration for the early Soviet theatre of Meyerhold and others stood her in bad stead when she faced the brand of dramatic criticism offered by Representative Starnes and Senator Reynolds.
