"Our eleventh season has been the
most successful from a financial and

had," said Hubert Heffner, associate
director of the Carolina Playmakers
in discussing the year's work with a
reporter yesterday. "We are planning
a bigger and more elaborate program
next year. Our season tickets Will re
main at a low price, the plays will
be presented three nights instead of
two, and we are looking forward to
a successful season doing bigt things."
Already an extensive Northern tour
lias been booked for November : with
engagements signed for in New York,
Boston, Wellsely College, Brooklyn,
Bichmond, and two in Baltimore. The
plays for the tour have not been se
lected, but it is understood that at
least one of Paul Green's plays will be
ttaken and Loretto Carrol Bailey's
play "Black Water," provided it can
"be re-written in a satisfactory form.
The other regular tours are being
planned also. .
A recent American play will be
staged in the fall to open the season,
Mr. Heffner stated, with production
fixed for early October. Many new
actors of merit are expected to be with
the organization next year. In addi
tion to their regular performances,
the Playmakers will offer their pat
rons two outstanding attractions, if
the present negotiations are com

Theatre of Dallas Tevas will bring a
play here and the Morning Height

Erskine's dramatization of his Helen
of Troy will present that play.
During the past season the , Play

Dr. Archibald Henderson, well-
known mathematician and head of the
University Mathematics Department,
has recently presented the department
an interesting and valuable souvenir
in the form of a framed manuscript
written for Dr. Henderson at his re
quest by Professor Albert Einstein,
famous scientist and author of the
Theory of Relativity.
Dr. Henderson was so fortunate as
to secure this manuscript when he
was engaged ins advanced research
work at the University of Berlin in
1924. The manuscript is a quotation
from Professor Einstein's address at
the Memorial .Meeting in honor of
Profeessor Max Planck, author of the
Quantum Theory.
The text of the manuscript is as

I Arizona Writer
Praises Heffner
For Playmaking
Eleanor Alexander, writing the fea
ture article for the June College Hu
mor on Arizona University has much
to say about the work of Huber
Heffner, now associate director of the
Playmakers, who was at one time di
rector of the dramatic group at Ari
zona. He got his training under Koch
in the early days of the Playmakers
then went to Arizona and finally re
turned here to take up his work again
At Arizona Heffner took charge o:
the rather worn out dramatic group
and completely rejuvenated it. Con
cerning his work the author r says:
"He took the straggling University
Players whipped them into shape, and
by enthusiasm and a very evident
knowledge of his subject made the
administrators so aware of drama that
they at last allowed the old Y. M. C.
A. hut, relic of the war, to be used as
a Green Room in which Professor
Heffner conducted many interesting
technical experiments along modern
istic lines. He put on rather finished
productions of Ibsen, . Shaw, Chekov,
and some of the very modern ones,
"Under his hand an annual open
air presentation of Shakespeare be
came a tradition and smacked very
loudly of the real thing. Each semes
ter three one act plays, and sur
prisingly good ones, written by mem
bers of his play writing class, were
produced and he did much to . make
his students see the wealth of ma
terial that lies in Arizona, past and
present. At his suggestion, the un
imaginative name University Players,
was changed to Shaman Players,
which is an Indian word with some
deep significance which I have, of
course, forgotten.
"Professor Heffner has answered
the call to become a member of the
faculty of his Alma Mater, and how
drama fares at Arizona now, I do not
know, but during Heffner 's three brief
years it was so alive that it awoke
almost the entire student body to a
surprised activity, and its vibrations
seemed to penetrate every part of
the university life." .

THIRD BOOR ON
SHAW WRITTEN
BY HENDERSON
Biographer of Bernard Shaw
Writes a Book Titled "Is Ber
nard Shaw A Dramatist?"
- The latest work of Dr. Archibald
Henderson, noted mathametician and
writer of a series of biographical
sketches, is just off the press. This
work is -quaintly titled, "Is Bernard
Shaw a Dramatist?" This title is par
ticularly arresting, since it is a well
known fact that Dr. Henderson con
siders Shaw the greatest of the liv
ing dramatists. Many people say
that Shaw is not a dramatist at all
but merely a witty debater who casts
his ideas into dramatic form.
The present volume, which is the
third by Dr. Henderson haying Ber
nard Shaw as a subject, discusses the
whole matter in a humorous maanner,
The sub-title: of the book is: "A Scien
tific ,but Imaginary Symposium in
the neo-Socratic, Manner: Conducted
by Bernard Shaw's Biographer."
The substance of the book was
recently delivered in the fprm;of 4eo.
tures at the Town Hall and at the
Martin Beck Theater, New York City.
In the early days, there were many
obstacles to dancing in Chapel HilL
In the first place, there was a strong
sentiment against dancing among
some of the religious denominations,
particularly the Methodists and Bap
tists. Then there was the difficulty
of transportation, which made it im
practical to have anything like the
large number of social functions that
form so important a part of college
life today. Girls often had to come
long distances over poor dirt roads
and in horsedrawn vehicles. There
was always the problem of finding a
suitable hall for dancing purposes;
also it was not so easy to secure an
orchestra as is the case today.
Data are not available which show
at just what time the German Club
can be said to have had its origin. It
is known, however, that as early as
1833 a committee elected by a mass
meeting of students petitioned the
University Trustees for the use of a
room in Steward's Hall, in which to
hold the Commencement BalL The
petition was granted, and the ball
managers sent invitations to all the
great men in the state, including the
Governor, asking them ' to attend in
order to give dignity to the occasion.
It was also thought that the presence
of the Governor at the ball would lend
stability to the party.
Tha President procured from the
Secretary of State a charter for an
organization which he called the Gym
nasium Association. The corporation
was chartered, and prominent Uni
versity alumni subscribed liberally to
its stock. Land was bought adjacent
to that belonging to the University
and.a -hall-built' that- was far super
ior to Smith Hall, the one in which
