t Pygmalion is Modern Play By G. B. Shaw The Dublin Players to appear in Pygmalion at the Fine Arts Au ditorium . Oct. 31 was originally formed by Ronald Ibbs in Ireland i 1 1947 under the name of the Ronald Ibbs Company, and was resigned to be a touring company in Ireland which vould play a sea son each jear in 'Dublin. Previous to this time. Mr. Ibbs had for nine jerrsbcsn hating man at. the Gate Theatre in the Earl of Long faro's Company with his wife. Maur;2n Kallisan. Miss Halligan jDine'-i her husband in establish ing his company, and has not only ; been a leading actress with the company, but has directed many of the productions. The new Ibbs Company was an immediate suc cess both on .tour and during its Dublin seasons, and the new actor- ' actress managerial team proved ; itself to be a worthy addition to Ireland's rich theatrical culture. After two years of playing in Ireland, including a very contro versial production of "Hamlet" in modern dress, directed by Tyrone I Guthrie, the Ibbs Company was seen in Ireland by famed critic,. author and dramatist, trie Kent ley, who was so enthusiastic over it that he persuaded Mr. Ibbs to take his company to America to : tour under the auspices of the In ternational Theatre Exchange. In this project Mr. Bentley was as sisted by his colleague Mr. Brian B. Acworth. For the American tour, Ibbs divided his company into two units, one -to tour America tinder the title of The Dublin Play ers, and one to stay in Ireland. The Dublin Players were placed under the directorship of Maureen Halligan and Mr. Ibbs remained in Ireland to continue the work of the company there. The original American tour of 'The Dublin Players was so suc cessful that their time here was extended, and Mr. Ibbs rejoined the company in New York to con tinue the tour under the manage ment of impressario, Clark H. Getts, who brings the company back this season from Ireland, and who has extended this, their fifth coast-to-coast tour, to encompass more than one hundred major cit ies of the United States and Can ada. QJffl)(oGJ By CARL HALL What is a transparents water color? It is many things. Poetical ly we can state that it is a prayer; it is laughter, perhaps a tear. It is a wish and a hope. It is star running and rain splashing. It is flower, smelling and earth tasting. "It is cloud shadow and bright sun light in which your being swims. It is an. emotional drunkenness that utters "the words "Vital Sec ond." It is momentary time, pin pointed and water-laden. A watereolor attempt 'U speak i the unutterable, the formless. It is the reality of clear perception freed of surface boundaries and restricting identifications that ex ist by themselves. A watercolor is the real Juice f your inner being crying visually U be freed from the restrictions t (be facts of life, earthboond and form en-. cased. , j In' watercolor you. attempt to; find yourself in things and emo tions with an intensity intimacy that has the clairvoyance of a vis ion. You look for surface connect-! ions, reach for spiritual affilia tionswithin those same connect ions that free you from the re striction that is your body, your conscious position in space and ime. You soar in the essence of life through the medium of water and white paper. j Different Medium When an artist states that, he wants to do a watercolor he is not thinking about the painting or the medium. Actually he is concerned with a state of feeling, a quality of paint perception that is decided ly different from that of an oil painting. While the watercolor medium is chosen for a specific reason it is nevertheless subordin ated to an emotional drive which - can only find expression in the fluid, moist freedom of a water color medium. - The most important ingredient in a watercolor is the white of the paper and the water that flows over it, bent on following its own - whim and the character of the paper. We like to say we control it, but the best work that, we do is when the water and paper con trols us. We have discovered that the best parts of a watercolor are the accidental patterns, rhythms, sparkles created by the flowing vi tality of the water over a white "sheet of paper. When we succeed, we sing,, when we fail, we try again. So often we have just begun when we think we have finished. Watercolor, is a mystery and a joy. U. S. Stockpiling Diamonds for Industry Uses WASHINGTON ( The bureau of mines reports that the govern ment is stockpiling diamonds for industrial purposes because this country has no known commercial deposits of stones for such use. Industrial diamond imports now approximate 50 million dollars a year, with less than one-fifth of the diamonds going into jewelry, the bureau says. " Stones containing imperfections are used industrially because their j hardness enables them to cut such things as cemented carbide cutting tools, concrete, stone and glass.

' Ronald Ibbs, producer and star of the Dublin Players, and Julia Worth enact the leading rolls of Shaw's classic Pygmalion on stage in . the Fine Arts Building Auditorium on the Willamette Campus October 31. One of the most popular plays by the late, great, Irish wit George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion which plays Monday night in the Fine Arts auditorium at Willam ette is a modern version of the Greek legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, the story of the sculptor who fell in love with a beautiful statue of his own creation. The Greeks would hardly recognize their original tale, however, for Shaw, in telling of the professor who undertook to teach a rough Cockney flower girl the ways of society, unleashes his fabled jibes I A. ll . ! 1 J 1- at the foibles of our day in his usual hilarious manner. Professor Higgins runs into Eli- - za Doolittle quite by chance, and - charmed by her beauty, deter mines to perform a great experil ment he will take this girl into his home, correct her speech and manners, and see if his theories about environment and heredity prove correct. The experiment is a roaring success. After several months of diligent work, Higgins passes off Eliza at the most mag nificent ball of the season as a vis iting lady of high birth!
