Members of the Committee who are running the show, headed by Benedict Einarson, instructor of Classics, and President of the Club, explained yesterday why "The Birds" had been chosen. In the first place a Greek play is alternated with a Latin one, and this production has a minimum of long and difficult parts...
Amazed by the fact that Widener Library was able to show him the original manuscript of his first play, Sir Cedric Hardwieke, the majestic Canon of the current hit "Shadow and Substance," was enthusiastic about the state of dramatics at Harvard and the reception which he received at his talk here yesterday, sponsored by the Dramatic Club...
...Italian "volunteers" brought in by tens of thousands to help Rightist Generalissimo Francisco Franco in Spain's civil war.

Laboratory tests with discharge tubes containing air at low pressures, said Dr. Bailey, show that radio waves of gyro-frequency* would produce a strong glow in the ionosphere (electrified radio mirror) 60 or 70 miles up. The artificial display would be the same in fundamental principle (emission of light by electrically excited atoms) as natural auroras, or as the glow caused in neon lights by electric currents. The scientist pointed out that existing super-power installations, such as Cincinnati's 500-kilowatt WLW (see p. 66) or the Moscow station of equal power, were strong enough to induce glow...
