On Feb. 23-27 Play Production Will Pro- duce 'Hedda Gabler' In Laboratory Theatre "Hedda Gabler," Henrick Ibsen's psychological study of an abnormal woman, will be produced by Play Production on Feb. 23, 24, 25, and 27 at the Laboratory Theatre, Val- entine B. Windt, director, announced yesterday. This show is the first productionI of an Ibsen play in Ann Arbor for four years, excepting Tom Powers'l single presentation of "Ghosts" in June 1931. The William Archer translation of the original play will be used by the local group, as this is the form most usually presented. Eva Le Gallienne, director of the New York Civic Re- pertory Theatre, has had this play in her repertoire for many years. Miss Le Gallienne has always given the play in modern dress but, ac- cording to Mr. Windt, the settings and costumes of the Play Production presentation will be in the style of the nineties as is more in keeping with the spirit of the play.

An inventors' club, composed chiefly of miners and colliery work- ers has been formed in Durham County, England, to aid poor inven- tors to place their work on the mar- ket and protect their rights. Motion pictures of the 1932 eclipse expedition of the University astron- omy department were shown to the general public last night for the first time when Dr. Heber D. , Curtis, head of the astronomy department, addressed an assembly of the Michi- gan Highway Conference in the Union ballroom. In his lecture Dr. Curtis, a man who has encircled the globe four times, spent years of his life in ex- tensive preparations, and studied many eclipses, all actually to observe the rare piienomenon for less than 26 minutes, presented the University expedition motion pictures. Empha- sizing the fact that the last total eclipse in the Ann Arbor region oc- curreci In 1348, and that only 61 minutes of eclipse have been visible since the advent of mocern aparatus, he explained why the tremendous ex- penditures of the leading observa- tories in this last eclipse were justi- fled- even if they added but a few seconds' observation to the knowledge of the sun. Preceding the motion picture, slides were used to demonstrate the under- lying principles of observation and the funcdamental facts about the sun. "It's just a very average star, mid- way in the brightness classification and of no unusual size," commented Dr. Curtis in pointing out the insig- nificance of the solar system. Motion pictures shown were the product of the staff of the University McMath Hulbert observatory at Lake Angelus, near Pontiac. A "Jules Verne" trip across the moon's surface with two-mile lunar peaks plainly discernible was featured as the only one of its type in existence and was made possible by newly developed ap- paratus in use only in this observa- tory. Out of 30 expeditions at the 1932 Maine eclipse only four were suc- cessful and the University group was one.
