Climatic conditions are unusual this
year in other countries besides the
United States. So dry has it been in
Switzerland. where several of the
large rivers have their sources, that
such rivers as the Rhine and the
Rhone are lower than they have ever
been known to be. These are usually
large streams and carry considerable
commerce into the interior Of Ger
many and France. If such is the con-
dition of large rivers. the lack Of
water in small streams must cause
much inconvenience.

guild has done. Seven weeks were spent
in rehearsals. Il was presented every
evening last week 10 large audiences in
the Little Theater" in 81: Louis. The
costumes and settings, which are the
work Of ihe members, are reported to be
elaborate.
The Artists Guild Of St. Louis is point
ed to by national leaders Of the Little
Theater movement as one Of the better
planned organizations Of the country.
Among its members are artists. musiei-
ans. writer's and amateur actors from St.
Louis with a few from other towns and
cities Of the state. The president. Clark
McAdams, writes the -Just a Minute

The guild occupies a planned building
on North Union avenue. The main floor
Of this building is divided between a
large room. which serves both as an art
eallery-in which are hung paintings by
members Of the guild. and in which are
held from time 20 time art exhibits-and
as Little Theaier." The capacity Of
the theater is exactly two hundred. thus
ensuring an audience that never exceeds
the number which allows the intimate re-
lation between actor and audience-a re
laiion the Little Theaterr considers

ster is raised. but by an ingenious ar
Tangement il can be lowered to the leSel,
