YALE PUPPETEERS PERFORM TONIGHT
Entertainers Present Chinese Play As a Feature In Touchstone At 8:30 P. M.
Presenting a Chinese play as one of their feature members, the Yale Puppeteers will offer a complete evening performance on Thursday, January 30, at 8:30 in Touchstone theater. Tickets for the performance may be secured at the School of Speech oflice on the third floor of Old College.

Harry Burnett, creator of the Puppets, became interested in making them while a student at Michigan university. He also succeeded in interesting his room mate, Forman Brown, who now writes plays and composes music for the puppet shows.
Later Burnett went to Yale where he enlisted the services of Richard Brandon. Brown then joined the two and thus the three puppeteers were organized.
FIRST TOURS SHORT The first tours made with the puppets were very short, but after finding the shows very successful, the three men made a tour which lasted about a year. During this time they played to all types of audiences, from Bar Harbor to the Kentucky mountains.
According lo Brown, the most striking thing about all these performances the universal appeal that the dolls had, no matter how sophisticated or naive the audience.
Harry Burnett brought with him several puppets from Florence, Italy, which are over two hundred years old. They are now on exhibition in the reference library in Old College.
The program next Thursday evening will also include "The Haydn Trio,” "The Siamese Dancer,” and a surprise number.
