screen experience and was getting some

for thre weeks. Scenes and lighting
for these performances are worked out
by the scenic design class.
1t is the opinion of the directors OF
the school that the technique of acting
can be efficiently impaired only by actoi :
and directors who are actually employed
in the professional theater. For this
reason no instructor of acting is engaged
by the school except those who conform
with this requirement.
Students entering the school must be
more than sixteen years old. No def
mite entrance examination is necessary.
since II is expected that only persons
with some education and ability will
seek TO enter the school, 1t is. however
fixed rule of the institution that at
the end of the first term students must
accept without protest the opinion of a
body composed of the entire teaching
staff and a number of the members OF
the board and council as to whether
individual students ID shall enter the
acting group to begin work Immediately
in the theater; (2) shall continue for
three months further in the development
class with the possibility of entering
the acting group al the end of that time ;
(3) shall discontinue work in the school
under the assumption that such students
are not fitted for stage career.
Must Play SIX Months In Theater.
This opinion is based on the report
OF the instructors covering the students
work in class for the first term and the
judgment of the directors who see the
students public performances No stu
dent may receive a graduation certifi-
cate from the school without having
