Schweitzer,. associate professor of en gineering research, in an interview recently on his trip to Europe. "Germany, alone," he continued, "has produced more than 20,000 Die sel trucks in the last year.-In heavier .transport vehicles, the Diesel engine is being used almost exclusively in Germany, France, and England. The chief advantage of the Diesel engine is its two-thirds reduction on fuel expenditure, as compared with the gasoline engine." Dr. Schweitzer visited the Zurich Institute of Technology at Zurich, Switzerland, which he classed as - the most modern technical school in. the world. All of the European univer sities, ha pointed out, are giving a great deal of attention to domestic substitutes for fuels. The work, he said, is carried out with so much se crecy that he had difficulty in gaining admittance to the laboratories. Among The Greeks Alpha.

If author Fred Ballard had, as wds his much-putilicized intention, visited the Penn State Players production of "Ladies of the Jury" here Saturday night, he would undoubtedly have been much pleased by a deftly ade quate production of what even he must realize is a pretty weak-play— one bearing all the stereotyped ear marks of 'amateur theatricals,' as produceable by 'church groups, high school societies, and college organiza tions, for fun and profit.' The Players, under the direction of Mr. Mason, did an excellent job of presenting the effort. Their work amused us most of the time;and ac tually held our attention, from an emotional point of view, a bit of the time. Aside from a little dirty work between the curtain and lights, which didn't seem able to get together, the play was well staged, and , the, tech nical end of matters handled smooth. ly. Playwrights talk much noWadays, and most disparagingly, of "stock" characters. Mr. Ballard, however, in writing this little opus (which has, significantly enough, been produced at over fifty colleges), has drawn them all; neatly, efficiently he has desig nated the stereotype for each person —so well that names were 'really not needed. The society matron (Mrs. Livingston Baldwin Crane), the Smooth - Lawyer (Ifalsay Van Stye); the Earnest Young Lawyer ARuther- .............~:2 i°. . . . , . ring r elief to distress w - I bring courage bring cork+ • • g onitia . . . . : . . . . , .. ........ .. THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN ford Dale), the Loving Young Couple (Cynthia Tate and her poetic . Alonzo Beal), the Tough Baby (Tony Theo pholus), and the Comic Reliefs (Mrs. Maguire and Andrew. MacKaig), were all much present. So much present in fact, that, in spite.of the work of the local' players,.nothing could indi vidualize the characters - - they were labels and, with two, exceptions, no Those two exceptions, Beatrice.Gon ford's hysterically emotional portray al of the Unjustly' Accused Widow (Yvette " Yvet Gordon), and Al Schwadron's excellent individual characterization of Steve Bromm, the gas station gentleman who really wanted to "bust-somebody," provid ed welcome relief from straight "the atricals." Excellent" casting was un doubtedly in evidence in these two parts. Miss, Frear, in carrying the heavi est part'of the work, both from the viewpoint of amount of speech, and development of aetiOn, did an excel-. lent job: She was summed to por tray the "typical" ~stage society ma tron. She" did exactly that—no fur belows, no fuss. Miss "Freer carried the plot, which 'centers" about a mur der trial: , After ,evidence -is heard, the jury votes eleven to one for a verdict of, guilty.. : i The Society Ma tron is the one oppoSed..She sticks to her point, and, by : deft insinuations and .favors, swings„the eleven other members to her, point of view. That's all, there is to it. 'When the curtain I f X 3 3 closes on the first act it is all too ob-i vious that Miss Frear's character will win out. When the curtain swings shut on the last act, the audience says, "that's nice," and leaves . It is unfortunate that Mr. Mason, in returning to work with the Play ers, could not have had something a little-snore open to real directing the.' "Ladies of the Jury." His work in direction had little_chance to get:into the spotlight—we could only feel it, nudging the silly plot along, carefully keeping the "this is an amateur play" idea as much suppressed as possible. We sincerely hope that he shall have something more suitable to his abili ties for his next production. The Players' Orchestra, under the direction of Robert Bassett, perform ed as uniformly well as has been its custom. We particularly enjoyed their work with Bix Beiderbecke's "In A Mist." We doubt If "Ladies of the Jury" has been better produced and better acted by amateurs than it was Satur day night. We wish 11,fr. Ballard might have been among those to see it. But that his presence would have led to no cries of "author, author," we are quite certain.—J.
