Designer Uses Stuart Masques
As Models For Winter's Ftale'


Newest summer blouses are feat-
uring hoods attached to the collar
which may be worn casually thrown
back on the shoulders or upon the
hair as this model wears hers. Be-
sides being fashionable the hoods
are serviceable in protecting the
hair from the season's hot sun.

'y GRACE MILLER
Lemuel Ayers, art director of the
Iramatic season, can be found at the
Lab Theatre or the Lydia Mendels-
;ohn Theatre working in an orderly
cnIusion of blue pencils, charts,
drafting boards, old laces and ostrich
eathers.
Out of these piles and swirls of
materials will grow the elaborate and
artificial settings of "The Winter's
Tale", which is to be staged in the
style of a Stuart masque, which was
one of the court amusements for the
nobles of the time of James I.
Mr. Ayers began his career in set
designing and costuming at Prince-
ton, where he studied architecture
and worked in the school theatre.
After his graduation in 1936, he
worked for a year with Jo Mielziner,
famous New York designer. He also
designed for summer seasons at East
Hampton, Long Island.
From the Rockefeller Foundation
he received a fellowship to Iowa Uni-
versity, where he obtained a master's
degree. This year the young design-
er took charge of the setting and cos-
tumes for the Broadway production,
"Journey's End."
New Angle To Be Presented
"The Winter's Tale" is to be pre-
sented from an almost entirely new
angle next week. The Stuart masques
which will be the basic idea, were clev-
er and affected presentations of plays
that were given by the lords and
ladies and even kings and queens in
the early 17th century Settings were
very ornate, and characterized by
their symmetry and balance, relics of
which are still found in the back-
drops of some of our older theatres.
Costumes of this period were bril-
liantly elaborate, and much be-jew-
elled and be-feathered. The charac-
ters were meant to represent types,
and not personalities, which is ex-
actly the effect the costumes achieve.
In Shakespeare's day as well as
today, his dramas were often staged
in Elizabethan dress. The King
James idea should prove novel and
entertaining to the modern audience,
in its pseudo-classic satire. Many of
the effects will be based on Inigo
Jones' sketches of this highly con-
ventionalized type of theatrical work.
While the costuming for the re-
