The series for school pitpils opened Tuesday afternoon and will continue through June 11, with matinees seven days a week and evening performances Fridays and Saturdays. Jack Landau, codirector with John Houseman for the Stratford Season, confided to his audience, in a brief talk before the play began that they were the first to enjoy the new air-conditioning in the theater. His announcement was greeted with applause surpassed only by that for Hiram Sherman, after his rendition of the role of Bottom, tragic hero in "Pyramus and Thisbe." The Pittsfield delegation remained after the final curtain to hear a talk- on acting by Inga Swenson, who played Helena. Miss Swenson provided an illuminating illustration as to why the school program is receiving the enthusiastic support of school authorities by stressing her conviction that she would not be as successful an actress if she had not completed her Miss Swenson was later succeeded by Stage Manager Bernard Twenty-tour English honors stu- dents from South Junior High School, shepherded by their teach- er, Miss Ann E.

If they had such a facility and it threatened to move, they would indignantly speechify at a citizens meeting at the town ball.

But Dr. Robert P. Knight, even as he proudly participates in the dedication exercises tomorrow of his graceful new Research and Treatment Building at the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, still has pangs of uneasiness. He is concerned about how the local taxpayers regard this magnificent, but tax-exempt, $970.000 monument to his drive and the high professional reputation which the institution has enjoyed as a psychiatric center under his leadership since If Stockbridge were Warm Springs. Dr.

Knight wOuld have no such anxieties. Ile would be a Berkshire hero. But even today, despite the fact that mental illness remains the No. 1 U.S. public health problem with one-half of the hospital beds in the country occupied by mental patients, somehow it retains the status of a hush-hush disorder.

Unlike polio before the Salk vaccine break-through. it enjoys no "popularity." For instance, Dr. Knight himself observed in a speech before a Pittsfield audience in 1956 only- $4.50 per patient is spent annually on psychiatric research. On the other hand, is spent on cancer; $22 on tuberculosis and $94 for polio. The figures may have changed today.

He wrote the final draft of the bill which became the new 1958 sex offenders' statute for Perhaps he would be a college prr esident or a eaptain of industry if as a result of being analyzed in 1927 he hadn't decided to go into psychiatric medicine. An M.D.

degree from Northwestern University Medical School followed in 1932. After the necessary internships he landed in 1933 as a resident in psychiatry at the celebrated Menninger Clinic in Topeka, where he progressed through the various chairs to chief of staff in 1946. It was from this post at the world-famous Midwestern treatment, research and teaching center that he was called to Riggs -in 1947 as medical director. Since that time he has brilliantly succeeded in Stockbridge, largely with foundation help and a generous boost from the U.S. Public Health Service, in making the expanding Berkshire institution an eastern model of the larger and better known Kansas citadel of mental health.

Tall, broad-shouldered, and athletically inclined (he was on the varsity tennis team At Oberlin and was a basketball center), Stockbridge knows him principally as a golfer. He served as president of the local golf club for five.years. His curre dicap is 13. Strongly competitive, his othe cipat recreation is contract bridge, to which is passionately devoted and of which he is a student.

Human re-entry Into the World of reality and rationality is terribly urgent, too, so the statistics Also while a steadily increasing part of the Center's budget is given over to research and. training young psychiatrists, Riggs is better known as a treatment center.

And treatment for mental illness in a non-tax supported sanitarium is expensive business for those who pay the full rate. At Riggs the all-coverage flat rate for inpatients is $375 a week, with the median stay at nearly six months. Thus despite the fact that the Riggs facility does more than $100.000 annual free and less-than-cost care and treatment, many of the patients have to be well off financially. Tax-exemption for an institution ministering to the cashmere sweater wearing set can be the cause of small-town resentment, notwithstanding the fact that well known surgical chnics also treat the well-heeled and also are tax-exempt. This is perhaps compounded in'the case of Riggs because it is an "open" hospital, which doesn't treat highly disturbed people who need restraint and constant supervision.

Well dressed and well automobiled patents are in evidence in their free time about the village. The outward manifestations of physical illness such as the crutch, the halting step and the pallor of debilitation are not present to generate sympathy and pity. As for Dr. Knight himself, he Is the antithesis of debilitation.
