Taggart Views Gold Hoard
As Basis for Inflation
i
An analysis of the significance of the enormous deposits of gold in the United States was given yesterday by Dr. Joseph H. Taggart, visiting professor of economics, in a lecture entitled “Our Golden Hoard.”
Today, controlling 70 per cent of the world’s gold supply, as opposed to the 30 per cent it
controlled in 1934. the United States is confronted with many serious problems brought about by the rapid accumulation of gold in this country.
The origin of our control is to be found in the fact that “the countries of the world attempted to maintain a modified gold standard in a period when most nations had really — if not actually — reject-
on there was a movement of gold j out of the United States. “Any inflationary movement resulted in a drain of gold,” Dr. Taggart said.
In January, 1934. in order to halt the exodus of gold, the government i set the value of gold as $35 an ounce, and thus the value of the gold in this country increased from four billion dollars to $6,800,000,000. j This was said to be "profit” to the

Theater, Film Are Compared
Dr. Bradley Sees No Conflict Between Two Art Mediums
‘‘There Ls no reason why the theater and the movies cannot' exist side by side and fill mutually exclusive roles in meeting social needs.” said Dr. E. Scully Bradley, visiting professor from the University of Pennsylvania, in Tuesday morning's weekly assembly. He spoke on “The Film and the Theater.”
First. Dr. Bradley wanted to set his hearers straight on the matter of the present status of the theater. “The theater is not dead,” he said. "An institution that remembers its masterpieces for 3000 years does not die easily. There are years of history and artistic splendor behind the theater. Its essential core still lives.”
He then cited some figures relative to Broadway productions. In 1926-27, there were 205 productions that opened in New Yor!c. Of these only 40 were box office hits and about half that number were real contributions to the art. In 1936-37 only 79 plays opened on Broadway but 20 of them were hits and, of these, 15 were significant contributions to the theater. Out ol 49 openings last year, there were j 16 significant ai iisiic contributions, j
“Tne quality of drama in Ameri- I ca is not falling off,” said Dr. Bradley. To prove his contention, he ! noted such dramatists as Eugene O'Neill. Maxwell Anderson, Clare j Booth. Clifford Adets. and others.
To substantiate this with examples of plays he said that there were 12 very good plays on the New York stage this winter. They | include such offering.: as "Key Largo,” "Philadelphia Story,” * Skylark,” and others, many of whiefi have appeared in Los Angeles. These were not only gacd as stage Continued on Page Three

“Romeo and Juliet.” for instance, was based on a poem entitled “Ro-meus and Juliet,” written by Arthur Brook. The outline of the plot and many of the lines Shakespeare used are to be found in this poem.
A comparison of the two demonstrates, however, that Shakespeare improved the story immensely in the following ways:

“We have selected the most beautiful and interesting scenes from Verdi’s opera “La Traviata” for presentation next Wednesday,” said Prof. Horatio Cogswell, as he announced plans for the singing of this artistic work by members of his opera class. The program will be presented at 4:20 p.m. in Bowne Hall, Mudd Memorial School of Philosophy.
The coloratura role of Violetta will be taken by Jackie Roe. who has already been heard several times on the campus this summer. Opposite her. the tenor role of Alfred will be taken by Donald Jones, of Compton. Annina will be sung by Gertrude Traeger and Flora by Anna May McConnell.
William C. Miller will be Ger-mont. E. R. Zalaudek will appear as the Baron, and Ray McCullough will sing the role of the Marquis. Ruth Sloan will be the accompanist.
“This opera is to be given in concert form and anyone who likes the melodious and lilting music of Verdi's operas should plan to enjoy this,” said Prof. Cogswell.
