He received his interest in the
theater during his Junior high
school years but did not achieve
a professional interest until his
training at Brooklyn college.
Since then he has worked in the
theater as a playwright, actor,
director, producer, lighting de
signer, business manager and
publicity director.
"I believe that the University
theater's production of ‘Captive
at Large’ is the best that I have
witnessed," Mark said in relation
to the theater's production of his
first full length play. "The light
ing by H. L. Ramey is magnif
icent and just what I've always
had in mind for it.”
In addition Mark stated, "Of
course, Daniel Krempel has
realized the full potentiality of
the play and the cast seems to
be growing in their parts at
every production."
The University theater’s pro
duction of "Captive at Large" is
the first west of the Mississippi
and the fifth in the entire United
States, The first production was
at the University of Illinois
where it received the Illini Thea
tre Guild award in 1953.
Since graduating from Dra
matic Workshop at New York,
Mark has written many short
plays. Among the best known of
these productions is a series of
three.
"I conceived the idea of a se
ries of plays for the three age
levels of a community,” Mark
said, "and Incorporated three of
my plays under the title ‘Wheels
in a Wheel.' They were first pro
duced in 1949 by the Dramatic
Workshop at New York."
While In Eugene, Mark has
been working on the revision of
his first novel, “The Horses Are
on the Track,” which will be pub
lished sometime in August or
September.

Groundhogs Lack
Curtail Prophesies
PORTLAND < AP) — Nobody
will ever know whether a ground*
hog could have seen his shadow
here Wednesday. There just
weren’t any groundhogs around.
Some persons had counted on
the two at the zoo to stick out
their heads so the length of the
winter could be forecast. It turn
ed out, though, that a Seattle
TV station had borrowed them.
It also was discovered that
Sugar, the junior museum’s old
standby groundhog, had died dur
ing hibernation. No others could
be found.
The weather bureau said it
planned to keep right on with
its long-range forecasts anyway.
