Commerce reveals new faculty members
The appointment of eight new faculty members In the College of Commerce and Business Administration of the University of Southern California for the September term, was announced yesterday from the office of Chancellor
Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
ramatists present four one-act plays
by Peter King le reputation established by
experimental theater in four }vious productions Is sustained improved by the bill of one-plays in Touchstone theater night. The program will be )eated this evening.
The four plays are drawn from [hly literary sources, all of them ting been written more than a trier of a century ago, and each king become a classic since that he,
(.‘Overtones,’* by Alice Gersten-rg, which introduces the evening perhaps the least Interesting of Ie four. A predecessor of the flter-ego” type of drama, Its dla-tue seems stilted and unreal to-ly. This production suffers from §1 staging as well iVada Nestierode Is the sole kUUndlng member of a east
| whose lack of sympathy and understanding for their roles, coupled with a tendency to adopt monotonous levels rather offset the stylised movement and Interesting decor of the play.
Sheer whimsey, delicate fantasy, and grim tragedy walk together through Lord Dunsany’s “Glittering Gate.” The resultant effect, once seen, Is never to be forgotten. The experimental people have staged It most Imaginatively, with director Bernard Swart* showing a resourceful sense of theater In , presenting “a lonely place” where the action occurs.
Effective staging builds t^e play excitingly to a powerful climax. Bob Downing and Rory Guy as the thieves who break into heaveu have been seen In many drama productions, and their work in this play Is an Indication of ever- ,
Increasing mastery of the actor's art.
An Irish play written for the Abbey players by Lady Gregory, am< directed for experimental theater by an Irish lad who also plays a leading role, proves irresistibly good drama in “The Rising of the Moon.”
Jim George has done well with his combined acting and directing. The play has quick, sustained action, the lines are read with an Irish lilt delightful to hear. Sam Siriani as the ballad singer ac-chieves a brilliant characterization.
Hit of the evening was Chekhov’s “A Marriage Proposal” directed by Seda Garapedian. Actors Harold Salisbury, Madgel Wolfard and A1 Hurwlts are Involved In a made whirl of colorful movement and amusing dialogue. Hurwlts demonstrates a Uus comedian's
sense of timing. His excellent performance is matched by the ver-saUie Miss Wolfard and ably supported by Salisbury.
Miss Garapedian has skillfully filled the stage with varied movement, paced the dialogue with a sure touch, and produced a broad comedy which will be termed “success" by all who see It.
The plays are generally well costumed and technically well produced. Lighting effects were especially interesting in “Gate” and “Moon.” Imaginative unit sets were designed by the experimental theater class members under the supervision of Evadna Blackburn. Professor James Butler deserves much credit for guiding this group to significant accomplishment in theater production during the past year.
Dr. Carl T. Devine of the University of Pennsylvinia and author of numerous texts in accounting will become professor of accounting at SC.
