The Theatre Arts Monthly con tains an article written by Lee Mitchell, fencing and drama instructor, and an other article by Lee and Martha Mitchell. In the one entitled Dance Chorus, Mr. Mitchell traces the development of speak ing and dancing choruses from their be ginnings in the classic Greek drama. The Mundelein Verse Speaking Choir, two pictures of which appear to illustrate ihe article, conforms to the ideal type of choir described by Mr. Mitchell, since it combines the dance, or at least rhythmic mass movement, with the spoken word, and minimizes the tendency toward for malization in choric drama. A second article in the THEATRE Arts MoNTHbY describes the ideal repertory theatre, as conducted at Northwestern university, where Mr. Mitchell is a mem ber of the drama faculty. A series of surveys conducted at the College recently on the aims and effects ol* the charm and personality course re ceive favorable notice in WHAT'S NEW In Home Economics, national home economics monthly. Tabulations show the percentage of students reporting benefits derived from the course, and the distribution of schools including SO in all throughout the country following the charm and person ality course as given here.

Sir Cedric Hardwicke Visits Here, Lectures Nonchalant, unmistakably British, and altogether charming, Sir Cedric Hard wicke, star of Shadow and Substance, visited the College on Jan. 3, and spoke briefly in the Little Theatre. He was accompanied by the Rev erend Gilbert B. Hartke, O.P., dean of the drama school at the Catholic univer sity, and by Lloyd Gough and Gerald Buckley, members of the cast. Actors must rely on the imagination of their audience to produce the ultimate in acting. Sir Cedric stated. He ex plained that playgoers become part of the cast and. by projecting their imaginations into situations of the drama, change it from dull passivity into vital, driving force. Sir Cedric emphasized the value of pan tomime and pause, which, although neg lected entirely by some of the wordy modern playwrights, are absolutely neces sary for the effective interpretation of dramatic situations. The 41-year old baronet, youngest actor ever to be knighted for distinguished service to the Fnglish stage, commented on the obvious interest of the students in the theatre. Mundelein College, he observed, strikes me as an uncommonly sensible place. Not only are you taught how to make a living, but what is more import ant, how to live. He complimented the Verse Speaking Choir on their informal presentation of St. Catherine, and inspected the Little Theatre and auditorium stages, comment ing on the equipment. Mr. Gough, one of the schoolmasters in Vincent Carroll's play, spoke briefly on the production itself, the plot, and staging and Mr. Buckley, the other schoolmas ter, sang several Irish folksongs. Following the program in the Little Theatre, the guests made voice recordings in Ihe Glee club rehearsal studio and were entertained at tea. Frank Sheridan Will Conclude Musical Series Concluding the first Musical Arts Se ries sponsored by the College, Frank Sheridan, pianist, will present a recital in the auditorium at 3:00 p.m., on Sun day, Feb. 19.
