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 />
