Quinby, Savannah Theatre Director, to Investigate Dramatic Societies. IS BOWDOIN GRADUATE Move Is Step in Development to Culminate in Campus Theatre. As the first step in the develop- ment of a University dramatic or- ganization which will culminate with the perfection of a University theatre, George H. Quinby, director of the Town theatre of Savannah, ea., has been engaged to visit the University for a three-week period comencing May 24. for the pur- pose of studying the dramatic sit- uation here and of making recom- mendtions for ways in which the various dramatic organizations can better co-operate for the more ef- ficient functioning of the Univer- sity dramatics interests. Quinby Will Form Plan. Mr. Quinby will, study the work of Play Production, Mimes, Comedy Club, and the Hillel players, with a view to devising a definite plan whereby they will be able to best co-operate through the use of the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre, which became a University-owned campus theatre April 1. No reorganization of the drama- tic department is anticipated as a result of Mr. Quinby's visit, it is ex- plained by Prof. 0. J. Campbell, of the English department. He will be here only to survey the present si'ttation with the unbiased eye that only an outsider can bring to bear on the problems which are lmmidiately faced in the program toward ultimate development of a University theatre organization in which student written plays, as well as professionally written drania, will be given careful and expert Production,l it was an- nounced. Campbell Praises Windt. "The University's dramatic or- ganization is now ready for such a survey as that Mr. Quinby will make only because of the work ac- complished by Valentine Windt, director of Play Production, and other men conpected with the dra- matic interests," Professor Camp- bell said yesterday. He said that the co-operation between student dramatic clubs and the depart- ment had dlone much to further developmentdof University drama- tics. Mr. Quinby is a graduate of Bow- doin college, and later attended Professor George Baker's drama workshop at -Yale. He was asked some weeks ago to come here for the month of May, but was unable to accept because of engagements in Savannah and with the Hamp- ton Players on Long Island in the slimmer. Later correspondence re- sulted in the present agreement, whereby Mr. Quinby will be here from May 24 until about June 14. He was strongly recommended for the task by Professor Baker, of Yale, since he has done both writ- ing and producing, and is a young man who will be able to approach closely the point of view of the students concerned.1 T HREE MEN KILLED I'N PLANE ACCiDENT Prominent Pilots Perish When New Diesel Plane Swerves Into Hillside.

EDWARDS TO TALK 6ON SPEECH SERIS Cticago Professor Will Present First of Four Readings c:i Spring Program. WILL APPEAR TUESDAY Prof. Davis Edwards, of the Uni- versity of Chicago, will appear at the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre next Tuesday night to inaugurate a series of dramatic readings sponsored by the speech depart- ment, and under the direction of Henry Moser who announces that four readings will constitute the spring program. Professor Edwards will present "The King's Henchman," by Edna S. Vincent Millay, which is consid- ered to be the best of his reper- toire of six recitals.

Faulty fielding beat the Wolver- ines, all three of Ohio's runs being scored without the aid of a hit. In marked contrast, the Buckeyes flayed errorless ball, Michigan's three runs being scored through the medium of three solid safeties and a walk. The Maize and Blue play- ers committed six misplays, four of which were chalked up against Straub at second base. Montague Pitches Well. Montague did a fine job of hurl- ing considering the support he re- ceived, limiting the Buckeyes to three hits over the eight and one- third innings which he occupied the box. Jack Tompkins connected for three of Michigan's six hits, getting a triple and two singles. Norm Daniels played a good game at shortstop wher he substituted -for the injured Myron.;He accepted nine chances without an error. Cline played a flashy game at third base for the visitors and also contributed some good stickwork, getting two of his team's three hits, including a triple. Stull at short- stop also showed well afield for Ohio. Wrigley did a good job of pitching until he was removed in the seventh, restricting Michigan to four safeties. Ohio Scores First. Ohio State tallied twice in the first inning. Baumgartner was safe on Superko's fumble and then stole second. Stull's sacrifice bunt sent Baumgartner to third.Fesler walked and then tried to steal sec- (Continued on Page 8) BOX SCORE qua. On May 6, Prof. Gertrude E.
