Hemorrhage, New
Home Recovering

 

Sunday, January 25, Frank Oster,
our custodian of buildings, was
taken to Mercy Hospital, a victim
of nasal hemorrhage, and put in
care of a specialist. By February 5
he had recovered enough to be
taken to the home of his daughter,
where he will remain until he is
well enough to resume his duties.

Mr. Oster, it will be remembered,
is the oldest employee of the Insti—
tute, having started his career in
1892 when Armour Institute was
founded. He came to Chicago, from
Sweden to attend the World’s Co—
lumbian Exposition, but circum-
stances were such that he find
employment here. He had left
Stockholm with hundreds of others
who had caught the fever of visit—
ing America and the exposition.

Since that day Frank has made
himself an indispensable part of
the Institute. He knows its complete
history and loves to tell it to an
interested listener. His clippings
from various periodicals form a
record of Institute events.

It is true that he was fired once
for a prank which was performed
by a group of seniors but his sus-
pension lasted but one hour, so

REBOUND
Donald Ogden Stewart
Presented at the Goodman T/Lrulm‘

Donald Ogden Stewart, a writer

whose humorous contributions are
familiar to most everyone, has
shown in his play “Rebound" several
characteristics that one would not
expect to find in such a fun-loving
author. The play really has a se—
rious, and thought provoking struc—
ture, and thus one can go to the
Goodman expecting to garner a few
stray ideas as well as untold spasms
, of laughter.
As might be expected, the dia-
. logue is typical of Stewart; it scin~
tillates with brilliant bursts of wit—
ticisms that are irresistible. The
humor is not stereotyped, but of:
fervescent, and itcrops up at all
points, and merely reiterates the

art is a master quipster.

Earlier critics seem to see too
great a similarity to “Holiday" in
“Rebound.” but it seems to be a
rather elusive connection. True,
both plays begin their development
on a basis of misdirected love, but
surely the subsequent treatment is
so different as to deny any relation—
ship. After all, a play must have

ddechnnicuis Meeting

 

A meeting of the Armour Insti—
tute Branch of the A. S. M. E. was
held Wednesday morning, January
23, at 11:30 a. in. in the Assembly
hall.

Mr. Truett, of the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, presented a
lecture on “The Refining and Man-
ufacture of Gasoline.” The very in-
teresting and illustrated account
told of the processes necessary to
make the raw petroleum of the
fields serviceable for use in gas
stations.

Mr. Truett pointed out the vari~
ous high grade sources of petrole~
um and explained the minute
intricacies of modern cracking
methods.

Professors G-ebhardt and Roesch
were faculty members who attend-
ed the meeting.

 

original ones are there? Again,‘
both plays show an element of what
older people regard as fast Ameri—
can life, but since such things are
existent, and we ourselves are Clo-
ing them, I see no reason to critize
a man for typiflng what is true.

“Rebound” is a most interesting
piece of work, for it opens in a light
mood, and then transcends to a
heavier one; yet Stewart is in the
lines, and one never feels the tragic
sense too deeply. True, there are
moments that hold the audience
tense, yet these serve but to throw
the humor into prominence by the
contrast. These rapid vicissitudes
of emotions are the spirit of the
production.

The play can be recommended to
all but the stolid souls to whom a
pun or a frothy saying needs elab-
orate explanation; it is truly an
interesting and amusing snapshot
of modern lovemaking. ABA.

Bell Laboratories
Working on Talkies

 

Completely equipped for the tak—
ing and finishing of “talkie" films,
a new sound picture laboratory of
the Bell Telephone Laboratories is
now in use. By duplicating the
conditions met with in actual prac-
tice, it is expected that further im—
provements in sound motion picture
technique will be made.

The sound stage provides a floor
space of '10 by 49 feet, and is fully
connected for lights, microphones,
camera motors and all the other
necessary accessories. At one end
is a monitoring booth, where the
operator can regulate the sound
from each of the microphones. This
is on a balcony, and opens into a
large monitoring room, where full
sized loud speakers reproduce the
sounds as they are recorded, and
also provide for the “play—bac ”
from one of the records immedi—
ately after it is recorded, for the
benefit of the director and actors.
A projection booth at one end of
the sound stage, just below the
monitoring booth, provides for re-
cording a musical or sound accom-
paniment to silent pictures.

Full equipment is provided for re-
cording on either wax records or
film, and for developing and print~
ing the film after exposure. A
projection room with standard pro-
jection and reproducing equipment
permits viewing of the films. Air
conditioning equipment makes the
best atmospheric conditions in all
rooms.
