Acrobat Leaivs Footlights For Glare of Study Lamp Whether a tumbler coming almost directly from the mats of a 'theatre's stage can make good as a student of ielectrical engineering in college was settled when Ray Maxwell '32, of Farrell, passed his first semester's examinations and registered for the second semester a short time ago. It was only through the persuasive measures of his family that the 19- year-old boy deserted the happy-go lucky ways of the theater for the cloistered paths of college study. But now that Maxwell is a student, electri city in another form than that glar ing from the footlight bulbs has cap tured e his iniagination and heart. Practical work, intermixed with the necessary theory in the electrical en• gineering course, has erased the desire for—if not the memory of—the rem-i ance-dusted cheap hotels, dreary train rides, small-time theatres, bright lights and storming applause which folloWed the tumbling act. Teamed with another lad from his home town, Jack gaybo, Maxwell had GRANT TELLS TALE OF FAMOUS OPERA Thespians and Glee Club Join in Junior Prom Production, 'H. M. S. Pinafore' "When 'H. M. S. Pinafore' opened in London in 1878 it ran for 700 . conse cutive performances and its prestige spread ..even thrOughont the United States,"Atichard W., Grant, College director'onnusic, told members of the cast that has been selected to present the'comic operetta - BUY 4, when they met for.reheirsil.this week.

Maurice Darcy, New York theatrical producer, will arrive here next week to take charge of staging the opera. The cast is composed of members of the Thes plans, the Glee club and the Girls' Glee club. "Arthur S. Sullivan, the composer, and his librettist, W. S. Gilbert," the director continued, "did more, than any, other two artists of 'the nineteenth century to restore to English music a native spirit and idiom which had been lacking for many years. Sullivan's First Attempt "For nearly two centuries England I had forgotten to be herself in her tonal art. It was like a breath of ' fresh air when Arthur Sullivan, with his twin-soul librettist, appeared on the' scene, composing music, as one ' might say, in good English words of few syllables, in which every hearer could find that which was genuine, entertaining and beautiful." Sullivan's career as a composer, Di rector Grant said, began with his over ture to "The Tempest" which. was written at the . age of eighte n. The partnership of Gilbert. and ullivan began in 1876 with their joint produc tion of "Trial by Jury." "When Sullivan toured th Wezt with the Pinafore company," Grant continued, "he visited a mining camp and One'of the first questions concern ed his weight. Sullivan replied that it was about 160 pounds. "'And do you mean to tell me,' said the miner, 'that you gave fits to John S. Blackmore down in Kansas City. You 'are John L; Sullivan, the slug ger, aren't you?' "The difference between John L. and Arthur was explained," Director Grant concluded." 'So you are the guy that put Pinafore together. Come right in and have a drink,' said the miner."

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL' 12, 1929 developed his mat work through var ious 'amateur theatrical presentations until it captured first prize at an Am ateur Night at a local theater. The manager of a vaudeville act on the Columbia circuit saw possibilities in it and offered the youthful strong-men a job. Eager acceptance was made. The troupe made its. way through Pennsylvania• to Ohio and back, fol lowing the circuit. This route, with its coal and mill regions, its long I jumps and "tank towns" was the one that claimed Maxwell until his pay eats became convinced that they would rather have their son an engineer than an acrobat. And so, no longer does the straw colored shock of unkempt hair dive or roll above a grimy canvas- mat, nor do the large, strong hands balance a precarious burden overhead. Instead, the adventuroui head bends studiously over the muscled fingers and the book . they hold, as their-owner reaches for ;the roots of electricity.
