Eleven Capacity Audiences
The Playhouse has housed the
productions and other activities of
the Little Theater since it's COM
pletion in the fall of 1926. Accord
ing to Mortimer G. Furscott, presi-
dent, the growth of the organiza-
ton has been more outstanding
during these last three years than
during any other part of its history,
in regard to the number enrolled on
the membership list, as well as in
regard to the professional quality
of the plays produced, the capacity
houses to which these performances
have been played, the increasing
field of activities assumed by the
Little Theater each year, and the
live interest and enthusiasm mani

of active workers.
Good Growth
Formerly one performance only
was scheduled for each offering
until the organization moved into
its own home, The Playhouse, in the
fall of 1926, when three perform
ances became necessary to take care
Of the increased audiences.
At the beginning of last season,
however, the plays were given on
five different evenings, running from
Tuesday through Friday. Three
extra performances of the last two
offerings had to be scheduled, how
ever, due to the popularity of the
bills, making total of eight per-
formances per play.
'Hay Fever" the well known Noel
Coward comedy, with which the
season was closed last spring, was
played to total audience of 1,760.
Fright You Are If You Think |

production because of the character
acting by practically the entire cast,

NEW YORK, September 19.-Present-

Scientists from russia, America ana
Denmark contributed to this material;
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka OF the Nationi

new material finds showed that
in recent times there must have been
q closed connection between the tribes
of northern Asia and the new world.
Russian Scientists View.
Prof. w. G. Bogoras of the museum
of the Academy of Sciences, Len1ngrad,
Russia, told of the similarity OF an
cient legends Of animal worship. ST.
IBERIA, he said, has the myth OF the
bear; north Pacific Asia and America
the whale and the otter; southeast
Asia the dragon, and Central Asia the
horse. He found characteristic re.
semblances in q myth Of the theft OF
American groups.
Both the North American Indian and
the North Asian must undergo fortunes
in seeking the spirits during initiation
in shamanistic or conjuring rites, said
Bogoras. While the North American In
dian makes his torture literal, the
North Asian does it altogether in imagi-
nation, having the spirits torture him
sometimes in monstrous ways, but not
undergoing bodily harm thereby.
Similar Customs Traced.
Bogoras traced q similarity in customs
and implements Of root diggers in ST.
IBERIA and in the Mackenzie area OF
North America" He told Of Siberian
tribes afraid of horses and said that
until 800 or 400 years ago American
Indians had no horses, suggesting that
for q long period the ancestors of these
groups did not know what horses were,

tribes the horse still inspires instructive
