`Europe Ahead of U.S.
In Diesel Engine Use,'
Schweitzer Declares
"In the use of Diesel engines for
transportation, Europe is far ahead
of America," said Dr. Paul H.
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.

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

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

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.
