State and National Officers To Attend D. of A.

Rally Here mm pmitf 'il 1 i A 4 tl 1 arts department of New Jersey College for Women, on the evenings of May 12, 13 and 14 at the Dramatic Arts Building. The annual custom of producing a Shakespearian play during the last month of school will be carried on this year by the Little Theatre Workshop Group with this beautiful and poetic play. In a recent interview Prof. Jane Inge, who has been responsible for so many excellent productions at the Little Theatre, said that the play had been condensed, by cutting and combining scenes into thirteen scenes. Although all of the most well-known portions were left intact and great effort had been spent to retain the original charm of the play, the wcarisomeness of a long presentation was thus avoided.

"Romeo and Juliet" gives opportunity for many beautiful stage effects. One of the most striking scenes is that of the tomb, which Mrs. Inge has designed entirely in Communion Sunday and communion breakfast on Sunday, May 15. Members will attend St. Peter's Church at the 7 o'clock mass and breakfast will bo at 8:15 o'clock in the Hotel Woodrow Wilson.

Little Arlene Schultz of Metuchen, a student in a well known New York dancing school, will entertain in three unusual and difficult dances. Entertainment of a different nature will be furnished by members of the John T. Roth Council, No.

"A play such as this is in reality an experimental educational project," Mrs. Inge said. "The change in the students who take part is far greater than any change we may make in the wood and other materials which go to make up our stage settings. "Every girl who takes the course in play production has been given a part in the play," Mrs. Inge explained.

"The juniors bear the major roles and the sophomores take the minor parts, which is splendid training for their further work in this line. It is our purpose to make the girl fit the part we assign to her, not to choose the girl because she fits the role. If the student can learn to feel a part, that is what we desire; looking the part is a far less Important matter, because it may be left to make-up and costume. The technique of bodily action and speech is an art that may be taught only by long and arduous training, and that is what the girls have." reservations may be made at the Tuesday meeting.
