The three are polishing their feature roles during the last re- hearsal stages; The Winslow Boy is scheduled for an 8:15 curtain each night of the four-day run in the Science Hall auditorium. Terence R a t t i g an's intense drama The Winslow Boy enjoyed a run of 215 performances during the 1947-48 New York season, and received the New York Critic's Award for the \most out- standing foreign play\ of the year. Critics have acclaimed it as being an unusually well-constructed play.
