This Is Anniversary of
Copemicus' Discovery

On MAY 2s, 154S. was published the first
copy of Nicholas Copernicus' work in
which he announced the most revolu-
tionarv of discoveries; that the earth, Is
a planet, that the sun is the center OF
a planetary system, around which all
the planets revolve. Copernicus died
two days before. The printer brought
the first copy of the book to the old
man, dying alone in a hut in Frauen-
berg, Russia, but the founder of modern
astronomy was too weak to speak and
only passed his hand caressingly over
the volume.
On the day OF his burial the book was
made public. 1t was prohibited by the
Vatican, but later in the same year the
nicus' volume was called DE Orblum
Coelestium Revolutionibus."

DRAMATIC NOTES

The problem of expanding the seat

OF each week has been solved to the
extent that twenty-five additional spec

the foyer as had TO done both for
Overnight and Madame Y" weeks.
IT was found that when the orchestra
placed on the stage for Friday and
Saturday nights during the run of
Overnight it could scarcely be heard.
The change to the foyer for the last
equally unsatisfactory. So for the SELL
out nights of Seven Days" it was
moved to the gallery boxes on the left,
where it could be heard distinctly.

musical setting arranged for symphony
