Wright Members of the Graduate His tory Club heard Dr. Archibald Henderson reveal what happened during the 20 "missing months" in the life of John Paul Jones last night in the Library Assembly Room. According to Dr. Henderson, no one in the world can show docu mentary evidence that John Paul ! i Jones was anywhere on the face ; of the earth for the 20 months after Feb. 1, 1774, although thou sands have devoted most of their lives doing so. Dr. Henderson has had those months on his mind since child- h ' hood, and together with the help of bis sisters has discovered what he believes to be an answer to the mystery. "John Paul," Dr. Henderson says, "while the master of a ship around the year 1772, had trouble with a crew member and flogged him. After returning to England the sailor bitterly showed his wounds to many people, denouncing John Paul. Three months later the man died at sea on another vessel, but it was believed his death was a result of the flogging. John Paul had to obtain many affidavits to prove his innocence, but finally did so.

Valkyrie Myth Is Perpetuated Back in the olden days of Nor wegian mythology there lived in the court of the warrior, Chief Odin, nine select maidens called Valkyries. These maidens were daughters of the gods and yet were mortal as well. As one of their duties, they selected for Odin those war riors who were to be slain on the battlefields and led them to Val halla, the hall of fame. It was considered a great honor to belong to the chosen group, the Valkyries, because they shared the glorious companionship of departed heroes. The armor they wore shed a strange light and their appearance on the battlefield meant that great heroes were present and would be chosen.

With the Old Vic company at Bristol, England, Davis directed such actors as George Couloris, Frances Rowe and Robert Edison. He also has directed several plays in London. A Rockefeller Foundation grant made possible his tour of American university drama departments, during which he visited Chapel Hill, and was so pleased with the attitude which he found here to ward entertainment in all forms that when CBS began to plan its series on American universities he asked to be assigned to this contract to MGM, and directed Shakespeare play they also gave an entirely new play, often by an unknown playwright. Davis' three-month's Rockefeller trip was extended to six, and dur ing that time he traveled over 20,000 miles and saw drama in "every conceivable form and con dition in factories, on wharves, in the mountains, in hotel ball rooms, in converted mills as well as in more conventional theatres." Following the tour, he directed a new adaptation of Moliere's "Tar- tuff e" by Miles Malleson in Boston, with Sam Jaffe in the leading role. Then he went to Hollywood under phase of the series. In his first visit to Chapel HilL Davis was especially impressed by the great attention given here to young playwrights. "No univers ity, stock theatre, or any theatri cal group," he says, "can hope for a lasting place in the develop ment of theatre history unless it encourages, develops and gives there, among other things, "Rog ue's March," featuring Peter Law- ford, Richard Greene and Leo Car roll, which was shown here a few weeks ago. When "3-D-mentia" set in, Davis left Hollywood for Ney York, where he has been directing a TV film series, "The Doctor" which has been seen over the NBC , network. The first in the CBS series "The Search" will be filmed here on the campus during the next two weeks. Entitled "Between the Mountains and the Sea " the film tells the story of a North Caro lina mountain boy who becomes fired with a desire to write after! visit of the Carolina Playmakers to his home town, where live ac-. tors had never been seen before. The story follows him to Chapel Hill, and through many and varied University activities, in his own personal "search." Actors in the film will be Uni versity students. Davis has expres sed a hope that he will not have to import professional actors for the film, and if he finds sufficient talent here, does not plan to do so.
