VERNONIA,
ORE. THURSDAY, OCT. 13, 1949 3
Mrs. Henry Schlegel, Jr., en
tertained members of The Ver
nonia Study club October 6 when
the study project of the year got
underway with the first of four
programs on theatre being very
ably given by Mrs. Sam Hearing,
Jr.
“The Theatre” by Sheldon Che
ney is the text following and is a
"history of 300 years of drama,
acting and stage craft. Beginning
with the primitive dances, it
traces the growth of the physical
stage, changes in acting and tells
the story of the writing of plays
and where theatre as we know it
today came into being.” Many
anecdotes and sidelights make
reading the volume easy and en
tertaining, but it contains so much
information that an entire year
could be given to its study.
The presentation of this first
section of the most purposeful
outline undertaken by this group
in some years clearly indicates a
busy year for club members.
During the business meeting the
forthcoming Red Feather drive
was announced by the civic chair
man, Mrs. A. J. Hughes.
A change in the date for the
next meeting was made. It will
be held on Friday evening, Oc
tober 21 instead of the date as
scheduled.
At that time Mrs. Harry Sandon
will be hostess and will also have
charge of the program.
