It met with such enthusiastic response, that he dis banded his mixed group, and retired to his farm studio In the Berkshire hills with an augmented group of men pupils to train them for the present tour, creating and rehears ing new numbers. A prominent theater director, friend of Shawn's, hunted him up in the early summer and watched the men's group work, and listened to Shawn's theories and hopes. He suggested that many people in the Berkshires would be interested in the experiment. Shawn was dubi ous but persuaded by his friend, agreed to make a trial. Twenty five representative people of the Berkshire .district were invited to come and see what was going on. They came. Shawn talked to them for a little while, demonstrated with his group of men some of the preparatory technical work that the men were being required to do, and then ended up with two or three of the new group dances.
