SIGNIFICANT of the 3bilitie~<br />

of th dramatic arts group - along<br />

technical as well as histrionic lines<br />

-is the skilful production of the<br />

Shakespe rean history presented<br />

thjs week by University theater.<br />

ln "I{jng Henry IV," Part I, all<br />

the equipment of the new theatl'r<br />

has been brought into use for the<br />

firrt time. The most spectacular<br />

production of the year, the theat~r<br />

group's interpretation is the<br />

~pitome of up-to-date and coordinate<br />

drama technique.<br />

The s venleen scenes ot thp play<br />

involve frequent changes in settings.<br />

For the most part, however,<br />

the audience is entirely oblivious<br />

to the stage wW'k involved. The<br />

revolving stage, used in this production<br />

in t~e United States for<br />

the fit'st time, makes this possible,<br />

thl'ough its apprOXimation Of the<br />

speed of the old Elizabethan theatel".<br />

Wagon stages, trap doors and<br />

the fly loft also enable the producers<br />

to make the playa living<br />

thing and not laborious work in<br />

Ihe eyes of the audience.<br />

Highlighting the rapidly moving<br />

(lclion are the colorful and elaborate<br />

costumes. They serve t\,<br />

...,.,,!tlte the 14th century the present<br />

llntll the curtain fall for the last<br />

time.<br />

The combination of modern<br />

equipment with the artistry of the<br />

theater group have here made<br />

Shakespearean drama a vital thing<br />

for the univ.ersity playgoer. Flawless<br />

production, in addition to the<br />

excellent dramatic interpretation,<br />

are proo.f of the progressive ability<br />

of the university's dramatic arts<br />

department.<br />

FRr Prosperity<br />

IN THE'MlDST of the administration's<br />

numerous headaches, one<br />

continues. to throb more painfully<br />

thap all the rest - the failure ot<br />

the "recession" to take the predicted<br />

upturn. The TVA investigatiOll,<br />

the Mexican Question and<br />

even the reorgani2:ation bill are<br />

secondary issues, for prophets of<br />

the new deal see the handwriting<br />

on -i-he 'wall 11 the present down­<br />

W.~a trend ot business "ontinues.<br />

~.o\ result the bill au thorizing<br />

$1,500,000,000 in loans to' private<br />

industry is more than another aspirin<br />

to the new deal. It is one of<br />

n number of new remedies and<br />

stimuli prepared to help lift the<br />

country out of the present economic<br />

bog. It must not fail, for there<br />

wi.ll be no timll to put another farreaching<br />

plan into operation before<br />

the 1940 elections.<br />

Tbis time the remedies are no<br />

hasty, spur-ot-the moment measures.<br />

They are the results of<br />

lenglhy investigations conducted<br />

ina cool, fact-finding manner,<br />

aod. calculated to soothe a jittery<br />

business world.<br />
