Marquardt, chairman of the committee in charge of the course, announced recently. The Trudi Schoop Ballet, composed of twenty-two actor-dancers, will .ap pear here Saturday night, March 7, while John Charles Thomas is salted-, uled for his recital on Monday night, March 30. • Consistent with the policy employed last year, when season tickets go on sale for the entire course of six num bers, one-half of the seats available will be reserved for students and one half for faculty and townspeople, Dr. Marquardt said, in announcing 'the faculty-town scat sale, for January 14, and 'the student sale on January 15. The auditorium will be divided into three sections, with Season scats selling for $5.00, $3.75, and $2.50. Thomas,, Native Pennsylvanian John Charles Thomas, Pennsylva nian by birth, is the son of a Meth odist Episcdpat minister. As a boy he sang with his mother 'and father for the camp meetings at which his father also preached, and played the accompaniments. A scholarship . at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in , Baltimore turned him away from medicine, the career of his choice,.and started him on his musical career. For the past several seasons Thomas has, been heard.throughout the United States in opera, concerts and over the . yeatt,..lhe . made,h appearance the - 141efropolitarf Opera Company in "Lit Trayiata," and : scored . a signal success, being recognized and acclaimed by the great est artists of modern operatic - music. • SchOop's Comic Ballet • Different from the traditional" art of the Russian ballet and - departing widely from the present 7 dayforms of the- modern - dance, the new kind- of cultural expression which Trudi Sclioop and her COmic Ballet bring to the American stage- is acclaimed by critics as superb in its caricature of man in -his. everyday, human contacts with the world. Miss Schoop herself, is director, librettist,. and manager of her troupe of twenty-two actor-dancers, each one of whom is equipped with fine dancing and gymnastic talents. A young girl in her middle twenties, coming from a Swiss family, with silver blond hair, blue eyes and a strong body, critics have ascribed to her "the sex-appeal of. Garbo, an actress like .Bergner; a dancer like Pavlowa, as genial as Chaplin, as funny as Grock." The spectacle she provides, accord ing to consistent reports, is a verit able discovery in', dance art. Fusing the spirit of comedy with pantomine, Trudi Schoop's ballet, while it plumbs . the depths of human character with consumate art and delicacy, makes audiences . rock with laughter and, moves them to tears of happiness. t teacher who wants a three-act, no roy alty comedy, which has no more than two mile parts, and as many female parts as can be passed around in a . class of twenty-eight students. Toss in a simple setting and add it up." 'Winterset' has ,been enjoying great popularity," 'Professor Cloe tingh said, continuing the interview. "Everything that Maxwell Anderson writes is 'good, so I knOw I shall not be wasting my time there "I Must see 'Porgy and Bess.' Nev or shall I forget the original produc tion; the singing of the spirituals was marvelous.. Now that Gershwin has set the entire play to music, it just cannot be passed up." . Desperately, Professor Cloetimth went on. "The reviews of 'Paradise Lost' haven't come to my attention yet, hut I'm watching for them. This may be a significant performance, and I am very anxious to see if Odett's has developed. "A trip to New York without a mu sical would be rather flat," - he con tinued. "My choice falls on 'At Home Abroad,' if for no other reason than , that I "enjoy Beatrice Lillie. She is an incomparable pantomimist."

I don't know and I don't think anybOdy-4 there, knows and certainly no trustee know," Cartmell asserted. The grizzled track veteran told how Bezdek had, in 1.922,' urged him to come to State College as a trainer and said, that if he came here "Any thing you say goes." , Cartmell said that the beginning of•his trouble with Bezdek began when .he took over the track team.

You never saw a big leaguer th didn't cat.'" i "We lost th game because of that," asserted Carta-led. "If ever a man spoiled a team, he spoiled that one. He never hesitated to keep men on the bench because he was sore at them." "At the end of the 1921 season he allowed me to get out as trainer but he kept up his nagging at me until it got to the place where it was like poking at a lion in a cage. In the fall of 1925 he came to me and told me' he was planning to build a concrete tennis court somewhere on New Bea ver field and asked me where I thought it should be. I told him and the very next morning he had men grading , for the tennis court right in! the center of the area that I had been using for some time for the hammer) throw and the weights. When I com plained to him he told, inn that he 'had engineers around there to figure things out' and didn't need my ad vice. We practically exchanged blows there on the field," Cartmell revealed. "In 1925," Cartmell said, "'Radek was going around and saying, 'Nate and Dutch (Hermann) have got to. go.' He tried every way to get rid of me then. In 1929 he tried again but it wasn't until 1913 that he pulled his masterpiece.", "It was a masterpiece of the few pulling the wool over the eyes of the majority," Cartmell asserted. Raising his right hand above his head, Cartmell said, "This is the truth, fo -help me God! ' This was all I was told When I was fired. "I was called into his office and Bezdek said to me, 'Nate, some of your men, in going up to the indoor track,: have . been .scratching. up ; the bleachers by walking on them.' I' as sured him that would he fixed 'up. by nutting up a sign Jo keep them off," Cartmell said. "Bezdeli paused a moment and then said, 'Nate, the committee has de cided not to renew your contract.' "I said, 'ls that so? What commit tee?" • "Bezdek said, 'Well, the committee ms decided that and I can't do any thing about it'" "'On what grounds?' I asked him," :cntinued Cartmell. "'You're too expensive a man,' an . wered Bezdek." "'What committee was this?' I ask td him." "'Why the committee with your two friends on it. Pete Mauthe and Irish Mcllvanie,' Bezdek replied." "'Well, Bee, you've finally done if, but I'll see the day when you regret it,' I told him," said Cartmcll. "I then went to see Dean Warnock," said Cartma, "and he told me, 'Nate, you are a great coach, but you're no teach er.'" He gave me no satisfaction,"l asserted Cartmell. "He advised mei to see Dean Sackett. Sackett said to me, 'You caused articles to come out! in the CoulintAN against taking they track team to North Carolina by bus.' Sackett then asked me if I was mar-I Hod. I said I was. 'Do you have any' children?' he asked. 'No,' I answered.) 'You know,' said Sackett, 'they are, a lot of comfort and you can have al lot of fun with them.' That's all the' •atisfaction I got out of him," Cart-1 mell said.
