Lady Gregory's Drama Presented By Class in Drama Under Gilmor Brown
FINISHED PRODUCTION
Play is Product of Interesting Abby Theatre Group of Writers
Climaxing the Summer Session’s activities with drama will be the task of Mr. Gilmor Brown’s class in Play Production, when “The Dragon,” by Lady Gregory ;will be presented in Bovard Auditorium next Friday morning. Mr. Brown is Producing Director of the Community Playhouse Association at Pasadena and has had great success in his field. Two members of his class, Miss Tuttle and Mr. Seismer, have worked with him at the Pasadena playhouse, and the other members of
the cast have been at work daily from 1 to 3 since the Summer Session
opened. There is little doubt that a
finished production will be given of
this unusual play which has only been
presented twice before in the United
States.
“The Dragon” is another product of that group of brilliant Irish dramatists whose talent developed in the Abby Theatre in Dublin. An old, ramshackle, shabby theatre in one of the poorest parts of the city was the center about which such writers as Ervine, Lady Gregory, William Butler Yates, and Synge developed their gifts and came into world prominence.
The cast for Friday follows:
Persons—	Players—
The King ........................Mr. Hawthorne
The Queen ............................Miss Malloy
The Princess Nuala............Miss Tuttle
The Dali Glic (The Blind Wise
Man) ............................ Mr. Flanders
The Nurse ..........................Miss Myersic
The Prince of the Marshes ................

Dr. Weatherby To Present Papers At Chemists’ Meet
Chemistry Professor Will Discuss MS. Belonging to Priestley; Also Gives Results of Levulose Experiments Conducted Over Long Period of Time in Laborotary
University of Southern California is to be represented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Los Angeles this week by Dr. LeRoy S. Weatherby, professor of Chemistry in the University. Professor Weatherby will present two papers before the Society, both on Thursday, August 6. The American Chemical Society is the national organization of chemists, and numbers 12,000 members.
The first of Dr. Weatherby’s papers is an account of a manuscript which has recently come into possession of the University Library. Dr. Weatherby’s paper is entitled, “An Alchemist Manuscript Book From the Belongings of Joseph Priestley,” constituting a consideration of the nature of the manuscript and taking up the
9question of w’hether Priestley was its author as well as its owner.
A part of the work is an account of experiments performed in 1751, a time when the young Priestley was but eighteen years of age. A still unsettled question is whether it constitutes an important record of the chemist’s own progress in his laboratory or
whether it is merely a book he studied. Photographic plates are being submitted to handwriting experts to determine whether the writing is in Priestley’s Style. The symbols for the elements as used in the experiments are not the letters of the alphabet, as in the present use, but are the tokens %
used by the alchemists before the time of modern chemistry. Copper, for example is represented by the sign for Venus; gold, by the sun, etc.
This manuscript is a relic of the Priestley home in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, where the famous English chemist spent his latter days after his forced flight from England. It (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)

Only Education and Physical Education are offering more courses than Music this summer.
“The classes have not been larger than last summer/' said Julia G. Howell, Professor of Harmony and head of the summer work, “but there has been more variety0 offered. The wide reputation and advanced status of our visiting professors, as well as the type of work given, have made the Summer Session particularly significant for teacherc of music.”
