visited by Prof. Elmer D. Mitchell
of the physical education department
in his talk before the graduate stu-
dents' luncheon held yesterday in the
League.
Professor Mitchell went on to say
that these countries have reason for
feeling as they do, since Czechoslava-
kia is a country made of slices of
territory taken from other nations,
and Hungary and Austria both lost
most of their land, so that now Aus-
tria is having much difficulty in sup-

"try to forget the period and attempt
to infect the Victorian influence in-

first presented in that period, in
1888."j
The purpose of the costumes, he
said, is to convey to the audience the
idea of the librettist as seen through
the eyes of the director. Doll says
that first he tries to understand the
director's conception of the show
and then design according to those
ideas.
