The Stratford- Upon-Avon Festival
Players came to the National Theater

large as it should have been seemed
vastly pleaSed-not only because this
quick-witted satire has not been pre-
sented here for some time, but be-
cause, from first to last. the speeches
flowed "trippingly'' of the tongue as
though the actors knew and were
enjoying their business.
1t was perhaps the absolute clarity
and purity that came with the lines
that was the most salient feature Of
a company which is as DISTINGUISHED
as its name implies. One can be sure
that the actors are conducting them
selves with the same degree of perfec-
ton as when at home they beSport
themselves on the presently rev boards
of the memorial theater's stage. They

was more than relief not to have to
wait for the featured player 20 speak
his lines and then relapse into a cor1a
until he should appear again. Each
actor in turn added the potency of his
or her skill to the picture and then with
true fneSSe blends and fades Secom-
ingly into the background. There is
no better-they are all best.
If. however, one must toss the bou-
quets of compliment in order of merit,
one might say that Wilfrid Walter

Through this romantic fable. in which

Star and Nebulae
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D. Del, LID,

Many studies, and investiga-

learn more about the stars. a
capital problem is concerned
with the brightness Of the stars.
to distinguish between apparent
and absolute luminosity. and to
Judge the size and distance
from us Of stars by means Of
luminosity.
Absolute luminosity may be
associated with the mass OF q
star, on the general assumption,
which seems quite reasonable,
that stars of the same spectre
type, surface for surface, have
the same degree of brightness.
A further problem concerns
itself with the number of stars
In our galactic system. Take q
very small portion Of the Milky
Way, make q greatly magnified
photograph Of it, and then en-
deavor to count the number Of
stars on the Photographic plate.
This will give you perhaps as
good an idea as can be derived
in any way, as to the appalling
number Of stars that are to be
found in our galactic system.
Various estimates have been
made, and in o number Of diff
ferent ways. Unfortunately, the
results vary so widely as to
cause us to question the ae-
curacy or suitability Of the
methods employed. For exam.
pie, Shapley estimates the num-
Der of stars to be about 100
billion. Whereas Eddington,
working from a different point
of view. arrives at a figure
three times that reached by
Shapley.
It Is not easy to arrive at
any intelligent comprehension
Of what we mean by hundreds
Of billions. To put this con-
cretely is . puzzling task. In
his '"The Great Astronomers, I"

attempts to enable us to visual
ize such a huge number.
