of hill of three terraces to provide
the characters with opportunities for
significant ascents and descents. When
Adam or Eve aspired to something they
ascended the mound; when momen-

signed the settings and costumes for
Shaw's "Heartbreak House" and who
is also responsible for the sets and
costumes for the present production.
is we'll aware Of nc condition which
the playwr ght makes before he con-
sents to arrangements for the pro
duction of one of his plays. After visit
ing the important theater5 Of Europe
studying new SYSTEMS OF lighting and
OF scenic effects, Simonson called on
Shaw to talk with him about the
settings for "Heartbreak House
"By the way" the artist said, 81
smoked all through my interview with
Shaw, not knowing that he was even
more set against smoking than he is
against meat eating. But he said moth
ing to me about it. learned of it
later, when he wrote me a very anus
ing letter. Shaw likes to suggest the
pose that he is old fashioned regarding
settings. Up with the lights and on
with the play is the way he likes to put
it. But he really isn't bit of it, We
talked of the play, and told him of the
new things l had seen in the Cont
mental theater. He did not appear very
much interested, and he continued to
watch me smoke.

Says George Bernard Shaw
1.-The more of yourself you put into
it the better it will be- he told me, so
long as you don't materially change
the positions of my characters and you
light their faces. Let yourself rip
That's just what did, and l have also
followed his advice in preparing the
settings for Back to Methuselah. "
So, IN a certain sense, Shaw has
given Simonson dispensation from the
marriage clause
"When he hears what | have done
with the settings and he sees photo
graphs of them he will probably say
that they were the result of my nico-
tine poisoned mind" the artist re-
marked laughingly.
"Shaw really has an extra ordinary
sense of the movements OF his char
acters," Simonson declared. "That is
why he asked me not to change their
positions. A director working on one
of his plays need never worry about
bringing the characters in and out Of
the action nor about their exits. Shaw
takes care of sll that for him. IN The
Gospel of the Brothers Barnabas' he
gives an admirable illustration Of this.
He removes Savvy and Haslanl to the
window seat when they are to be out OF
the action and place. the other charac-
ters in the most effective positions. 1t
is never necessary to move stool in a

Miles City, Dec. 9.-Some co1or is

way company.
The lands in question are located
near the present townsite of Powder

valley to Beebe, thence southeast over
the divide toward Powderille and then
along the Powder river to the Burling-

believed that a better water grade
would be established by following the
Powder river across the state line.
1t is known that five routes have
been surveyed in the past, and while
the present route under discussion may
be the most difficult, it is pointed out
here that it taps some of the richest

one of the best developed sections in

The lands involved in the Gies-
Veitch transfers cover several thou

ry a considerable value for farming
purposes.
