VOLUME VI.
SHOEMAKER’S HOLIDAY i TO BE GIVEN FRIDAY
J' r\ _
Old English Play by Thomas Dekker, Directed by Gilmor Brown Will Be Given by Play Production Class Aug. 5.
Turning through the pages of drama, Gilmor Brown has selected “ 1 he Shoemaker’s Holiday,” by Thomas Dekker, to be given by the Summer Session Play Production class next Friday at 10 o’clock in the morning in Bovard Auditorium. The play is the annual production of the class conducted by Gilmor Brown, director of the Pasa-
Los Angeles, California, Friday, July 29, 1927
NUMBER 10
dena Community Playhouse. J
“The Shoemaker’s Holiday” was first acted in 1599, and is a splendid example of Dekker’s work in the drama. Written in the period when Elizabethan drama was at its height, the play represents in a vivid way the character of the times. The story is taken from Thomas Deloney's “Gentle Craft,” and gives an opportunity for a picture of life among the tradespeople of London. At that time the shoemakers were known as members of the gentlecraft, and • much of the humor in the production centers around the actions of this group.
The play is full of an atmosphere of gentle mirth, varied with character-ostic touches of pathos. After a close study of the play, the student of drama will discover the basis of many modern day plots. The play has its love scenes, nobility, war scenes, and the
rapid rise of poor individuals to the siUeg Qf the ]an() Among the posI. position ol authority and social stand-1 Uong he has Md were those of the
mg*	Vice-President of Morris Harvey Col-
lege, instructor of Economics at Cornell University and the New Yorx Universisty. He has .also, served as chairman of the Department of Economics at University College, New York University and as a special lecturer at Rutgers University.
It was mainly through the efforts of Dean Cunningham that Dr. McClung has been placed in this University, both having taught in the University of New York.
“Dr. Me Clung is a close personal friend of mine,” stated Dean Cunningham in an interview, “and I am delighted that he has been made dean. I consider him to be a fine man of pleasing personality, ideally suited for the position.” Professor Cunningham will remain in this institution as Professor of Finance.
NEW COMMERCE DEAN COMES FROM N. Y. UNIVERSITY
August 15 Set as Date When McClung Will Take Over Duties On Trojan Campus.
Dr. Reid Lange McClung has been appointed dean of the College of Commerce at the University of Southern California, according to Professor Wallace Cunningham, acting dean of that College. He will take over that position on August 15.
Having taught in the economics Department of the University of New York, Dr. McClung comes highly recommended. He received his Ph.D. from that institution and has been affilliated with many leading univer-
Simon Eyre, owner of a shop where fine shoes are made, carries a difficult role, and his wife, Margery, plays the typical part of a lady who knows her importance. The parts of Hodge and Firk, two members of the gentlecraft are parts which demand a great deal of humorous acting.
Roland Lacy, otherwise Hans, and Rose, daughter of Sir Roger, are the leading roles. Lacy is an officer of the King’s army during the first part of the opening scene and then dis-giuses himself as a Dutch shoemaker. During the closing scenes of the play various actions lead to—oh, well, it will all be seen August 5, at 10 o’clock in Bovard.
Gilmor Brown, who is directing the play, is now directing for the third summer at Southern California. He has been in charge of the Pasadena Community Playhouse work for the last six years. When he took charge in the city which is the home of the Tournament of Roses, the Little Theatre was struggling to get a foothold. For several months the enterprise looked as though it was going to fail, but the energy, personality and knowledge of dramatics of Gilmor Brown, is said to have saved the organization.
■' At the present time Mr. Brown is directing the casts for several plays which will be given in the near future in Pasadena.

Two Trojan Professors Appointed By State
That Southern California is winning recognition through academic prominence is evidenced by the fact that Dr. Coy of the S. C. history department has been appointed as head of historical research for the state, and Dr. Ford, of the education department has been appointed to handle the housing problem of the state.
These are signal honors which have come to S. C. through the eminence of these professors, since great responsibility is attached to each post.
Dr. Coy and Dr. Ford have been well-known at Southern California for some time, taking great interest in the university, and gaining popularity through untiring efforts on behalf of the institution.
Neither Dr. Coy nor Dr. Ford have indicated that their new duties would cause a cessation of their activities at S. C., stating rather, that their work would continue on the same academic lines as before.
In today’s issue of the Trojan on the sporting page there appears an article on the Trojan rooting section. The work of this group is illustrated with a cut.
Six years ago such a thing as a rooting section at Southern California was hardly heard of. The gang used to sit 'together and give a cheer when some dashing halfback made a great open field run or the like, but organized rooting as we now have it, was little thought of. Today practically every large university and college strives to develop a rooting section wrhich outclasses any school in its conference.
* * *
Two years ago when Damon Runyon, nationally known sports writer, watched the Trojan rooting section in action he was heard to remark, “That Trojan War Horse is the greatest stunt I have ever seen in any rooting section.*’ When the cards are flashed and r the horse appears in the S. C. rooting section those in the stands are watching what is probably the most thrilling sight any disinterested spectator could view\ The huge horse with hoofs raised, mane waving, eyes flashing, and sides heaving is a warning of Troian teams and their purpose. It is symbolic of the desire to win

the local Coliseum, the writer heard an individual who knew little or nothing about the gridiron sport remark, “The thing that impressed me mot was the fair sportsmanship displayed by both rooting sections.”
Presidents of universities stress the point of sportsmanship and respect for opposing institutions. When rooting sections develop a spirit of friendly rivalry, but respect for the other team, and rooting section they are accomplishing something wdiich is going to go a long ways in developing the spirit which is needed to bring about good feelings among individuals and nations. To be a good sport at all times is in a large measure being a man, and no man or woman can be a success unless they have a touch of sportsmanship in their nature.
