actors, producers, directors and scenic
experts will bc^ln the third year of an
experimental course in "Play Production" this niiinih. "English 12," Slate's
advanced class in the dramalic art,
commenced its third year when Georgia
DeMotker, '2d, directed a one-act play.
Six others will come this semester.
'The sue. ess'of the course which begun
as an experiment, has been such that it
will he continued. The class, comprised
only of students of the junior and senior
classes has been compared with the
famous and lately discontinued Baker
"147 Workshop" at Harvard university,
although it aims at a different goal in
the theatrical world. Professor Baker's
famous course is intended to develop
ability of playwrights. That taught at
Stale is to fit oral English teachers and
others in modern methods of conducting
"amateur theatricals" by letting them
work through the field "from the bottom
up" under supervision and criticism.
The college course is directed by Miss
Agnes E. Futlcrer, herself noted as a
dramatic reader. Miss Futtcrer was
graduated from State and is the daughter
of a former Albany public schools music
director. While in college she achieved
such success in undergraduate plays
that she entered upon the American
Academy of Dramatic Expression in
New York. After graduation from the
school she accepted a place in the college
English department and has also directed
dramatic work at the Lake Placid club.
Preliminary to the English 12 courses
are two required elementary courses, one
in "Dramatics," and one in "The Modern
Drama," both taught by Miss Futtcrei.
These have been in existence longu
than the advanced course and the demand for enrollment among the college
students became so great it was necessary
to limit admission to junior and senior
students.
The advanced class in "Dramatics"
studies details of production such as
make-ups, settings, props, etc. Every two
or three weeks one or two one-act plays
produced entirely by students are given.
College men and women choose their own
plays, cast them, direct them, appoint their
setting at.d props workers While some
of the class are engaged in acting a,--d
rehearsing dramas, others are coa< him
them, others prepare the sets, arrange
the li hting and attend to the business
details.
This work will be discontinued in
April and the class will turn its attention
to production of a full-length play. This
is coached by Miss Futterer. Selection
of the play, consideration of details regarding its fitness for treatment by the
class, its sets, and later the work of
casting, directing and presenting are all
done jointly by the teacher and the class.
As far as possible class members are
chosen for the parts.
Last year the class decided upon the
Pulitzer prize play of two seasons ago,
"Icebound."
The two elementary courses each last
a term. The first term students study
principles of pantonine, stage business,
setting, lighting, make-up and the theory
of stage direction. In January the class
will publicly present three one-act plays.

Conflict Of Ideals
Doctor Harry Elmer Barnes, professor of history and sociology at
Smith college, gave an interesting and
spirited lecture in the college auditorium last Friday night, on 'Modern
Conflict of Ideals; Its History and
Prospects."
Geocentric dogmatism predominated
a half century ago. The earth was
the center of human interest and
thought, and the Bible was literally
interpreted, said Dr. Barnes.
Dr. Barnes referred to the Dayton
trial as a characteristic Assymian type
of amusement.
The meeting was opened to questions by the audience.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
DO NOT PERMIT RUNName Marjority Ott ChairmanBY CRESCENTS, 204B
This fall, Coach Baker supplemented the usual football practice by
calling out candidates for baseball.
He reports no outstanding material.
When State took up football the
annual cross country run was discontinued. With the abolishment of football this fall a move was started to
have a cross country race, the winner,
as formerly, to receive a silver loving
cup.
But frigid weather did not encourage training, and interest waned.
Coach Baker said he felt that the run
could not be a success. "The danger
of entering such a meet out of condition is so great that I have not encouraged it," he declared.
