began. Agricultural production has

periences as a
scenic designer
in the Littman's
Dr. Miller
Peoples Theater, where he was
employed for four years. He has
worked for Hudson's display de-
partment 22 years. Because so

general speech at Wayne and also
has taught theatrical stage set-
tings.
In his discussion at Center
Theater, Dr. Miller will reminisce
about the techniques used in the

the Yiddish performers he. knew,
and about audiences in the Hast-
ings and Twelfth Street theaters.

lie at a nominal charge for non-
