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

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. ' , .

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."

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

do the large, strong hands balance a
precarious burden overhead. Instead,

Development of Aviation
"Louie Bleriot Passes the White
Cliffs of Dover" is a picturo'showing
..he first flight across the English
Channel in 1909. A view of Lieuten
ant-Commander Read approaching the
Azores shows the first trans-Atlantic
sally.
The later illustrations show the de
velopment of aeronautics. In the pie
ture of Lieutenants Macready and
Kelly crossing the United States in
1923, the modern airplane is contrast
ed with the clumsy mechanisms with
bare wires and exposed aviators of
pioneer times.
'Lindbergh's epochal flight to Pllll3
is shown by a spectacle of a low-flying
plane beneath overhanging clouds
making, its way over the choppy At
lantic. Following the Lone Eagle's
trip, Kingsford and Smith soared over
Suva to Australia in 1928, thereby
making the first trans-Pacific flight.
A picture of this is shown.
An excerpt from the letter that pre
ceeded the receipt of the paintings
states: "In view of the world wide in
terest and enthusiasm evident in the
progress of aviation; we are distrib
uting sets of these prints to the ward
rooms of vessels of the United States
Navy, to United States Army Stations
and to the leaders of various educa

Announces New 'G' Member of
Group—Heads Committee
On Investigation
, Prof. R. Adams Dutcher, head of
!the department of agricultural and bi
ological chemistry announces the disc
covery of another member of the vita
min family. Vitamin G now takes its
place with A, B, C, D, and E.
Vitamin B, formerly thought to be
a single unit was found to be twins,
'instead, when biological chemists
worked further with it. Yeast, germs
of cereals, leafy plants, fruits, and
vegetables contained the complex fac
tor, it Was discovered. •
It cured beri-beri and pellagra and
stimulated appetite and growth. When
the discovery was made that two vita
mins actually existed instead of ,one,
..ggestions were offered by various
dentists for renaming the two. Brit
.:h. investigators recommended B for
e complex, B for the heat-destroyed
'tamin and B for its heat-stable twin.

! In December 1927, Dr. E. V. McCol
, um of Johns Hopkins university; pres

This group consists of Professor
Dutcher as chairmani, Dr. H. C. Sher

Washington, D. C.; Dr. P. A:. Levene,
Institute for Medical Research; 'Dr.
Harry Steenbock, University 'of Wis

. This committee has now decided
that the term B shall be restricted to
designate the anti-neuritic factor
which is destroyed by heat and that
the term 'G shall be used to denote the
mom heat-stable, water soluble, diet
ary factor, called pellagra-preventive
by Dr, Joseph Goldberger and his as
sociates.
"Now,"'Professor Dutcher• declares,
"further study is needed to find how

students who took their cars home
this week might escape the full pen

the decision Was made after a thor
ough discussion of the ruling 'and its

"I think the rule prohibiting student
ownership of automobiles is-not only
a wise, but a necessary ene,".the bilcan
of Men maintained. "Without each a
rule there might easily be- several
hundred student cars in daily dim
