Schofield Visitor Sails On Matsonia It was interesting to spend a half hour with June Benyas and chat about the stage. She has an excellent background work at universities and travel has broadened her thinking and activities. She said, "I my first collegiate year in Canada at the University of British Columbia where I worked under the capable direction of Sidney Risk whose productions are definitely as expertly directed as in Honolulu." "Of course the collegiate work is far more concentrated dramatically than in our American universities.

One of the highest honors is membership in the theatrical society and success is synonymous with the bestowal of a role. Canada is starved for the drama and our group used to take our shows on the road during vacations. To gain experience the actiig roles were shifted each night this was excellent training, but I may add, a bit nerve-racking. The technical work is more systematized in Honolulu, although the impression created on the stage was the same. The Canadian interest lies largely in the mood created through characterization." In Berkeley, California, Miss Benyas found the theater was a mere pastime in contrast to the support and enthusiasm accorded football, track and other sports.

"Several performances are given at the University mostly singing and dancing affairs that are of little value to a struggling theatrical aim. However, Edwin Duerr staged a few outstanding productions such as "The Great God Brown" and others. Miss Benyas said in Berkeley there are numerous small groups of players, who offer good training to the novice who entertains ideals and aspirations in the realm of drama. "I was associated with one that lacked scenery and costumes but it gave the members a thorough grounding in technique of the stage, the means by which we could stir an audience so that the absence of scenery would not be too noticeable." Miss Benyas toured Europe with a drama group from Northwestern university. She feels that regardless of language handicaps, interest in the dramatic field is universally the same.

"Although we could not understand a word, stage devices were displayed and illustrated so that we might learn the inner workings of stage results. "All the European countries offered so much along different lines that it would be difficult to make comparisons. The English theater was memorable for its unique stage effects such as the ability to show a ship sinking. Shakespearean productions were unsurpassed they are a skillful blend of old traditions and modern ideas. Their methods of staging a battle, settings of grandeur and dramatic gags are examples of perfect craftsmanship." "Germany had the most spectacular lighting of them all.

Start- Miss Edith Catherine Wesson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Wesson, who sailed Friday on the Matsonia en route to the Coast, where she will attend the University of Southern California. She is a graduate of Punahou school.

No play in the United States has ever approached performances such as Schiller's "Die Rauber" with its exciting shade contrasts and weird lighting emphasis. "Switzerland presented splendid pageantry. I saw 'William Tell' staged in the open. It was expertly directed and produced. The natural beauty of the site was put to use garlands of flowers, livestock and children gamboling on the grass, heightened the effect and force of the drama." This tour decided Miss Benyas to return to the school of speech at Northwestern in order to obtain the fundamentals of stage production, and to apply them, using plays as laboratory training.

She said, "Garrett Leverton, for ten years director of the University theater, and now with Samuel French and Twentieth Century Fox, supervised details and staged superb examples of theatrical craftsmanship to guide the class. We saw many Broadway productions and we made reports on each play noting the good and the bad details; the presence or lack of valuable theatrical tricks and and' Ens.
