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.
