WEDNESDAY. JULY 6, 3949 Script-in-Hand Shows Begin With Stein Play A full-length script-in-hand production of Gertrude Stein’s **Yes Is For a Verv Young Man” will be presented in the Little Theater in the basement of Old Main at 7:30 tonight. The play is to be presented tonight and three other plays scheduled for three the remaining Wednesdays in July are by well known authors and are international in scope. Although none of these plays have ever been seen on Broadway, these sketch produc tions are a way of investigating their essential qualities. Unrecognised Medium Although the sketch-production is an unrecognized art medium, several plays have been produced professionally in this manner. Sketch-production has the same relationship to a full production that a sketch has to a finished painting. It is done swiftly and tries to touch all the essentials without becoming too detailed. The sketch-production for to night was written by Miss Stein “to explain how it was to be done in France during the Occupation.” Although it is in the famous Stein style, it is neither difficult nor confusing. Language Interesting Miss Stein’s use of language becomes more and more interest ing as one listens. She is constant ly concerned with essential mean ing, and is perpetually turning them over, revealing a second meaning below the first, and a third within the second. Al though theTe is much reptition of words, there is little repetition of meaning. Tonight’s production will be di rected by Daryl Frank, a member of the Graduate Directing Semi nar. The cast , includes June Wil liams, Tony Bowman, Elsie Bod nar, Dave Hunter, Jean Bicker ton, Mary Alice Hodson, and War ien Smith. The production is open to the public free of charge and an in formal discussion of the play will be held after the production for the information of the direc tor. All audience members are in vited to participate. Physicist Lauds PSC Program Dr. J. A. Ratcliffe, of the Phy sics Laboratory at Cambridge University, Cambridge, England, today expressed amazement at the extent of the ionospheric re search now underway at the Col lege and at other colleges and universities in North America. Dr. Ratcliffe, early pioneer and Widely? recognized authority on ionospheric research, said he thought the increasing amount of work being done in the low fre quency range probably would lead to important findings. “The ionosphere presents us with many problems to be solved” Dr. Ratcliffe remarked. “We are seeking now knowledge, and when we learn more about the ionosphere, I am sure the infor mation will prove useful in many ways.” The problem at Cambridge is similar in many ways to that being conducted here. Earliest work in ionospheric research was started at Cambridge in 1924 and Dr. Ratcliffe has been engaged in this work since that time, ex cept during World War 11, when he worked on oMier projects essential to the war. Dr. Ratcliffe was invited to the College by Dr. A. H. Waynick, professor of engineering research at the College, to participate in the lonospheric Research Con ference held last week.
