BUILD SPECIAL
SETS FOR PLAY
JFOLLOW EUROPEAN PLAN IN
BUILDING SCENERY FOR "HER
MONEY MAN"
The Varsity Players who leave Mos
cow this week on a ten weeks' sum
mer tour, have designed and had
worked out in the university work
shops a stage setting which will be
appropriate for large city theatres,
and at the same time effective for the
small stages of theatres designed pri
marily for moving pictures, commun
ity halls, and high schools.
The design for the setting was
adapted from a drawing by Max Rein
Hardt exhibited in Amsterdam at the
International Theatrical exhibition
last winter. It is extremely stylized
after the manner of the continental
workers in the theatre.
Special furniture to match the set
ting has been built, enameled in
black. The color scheme of the scen
ery Is pumpkin yellow with Dutch
blue motive repeated here and there
about the windows, fireplace, and fur
niture. A proscenium of neutral grey,
■done by Van Wie of Portland, will sét
off this charming and novel stage
picture.
This Reinhardt setting is only one
phase of the activities of the Varsity
Players in bringing to the people of
the northwest the latest play done in
the modern style acting In an appro
priate and tasteful setting. Every ef
fort is made even in the most remote
town to furnish stage illusions which
playgoers get in the theatres of New
York City and in the most_progress
Ive centers of the theatre in Europe.
The Varsity Players will be seen
here in "Her Money Man" Wednesday
evening, in the university audtiorlum,
after which they will leave for neigh
boring towns before beginning their
long tour of the northwest.
