MODEL STAGE SETTINGS ON EXHIBIT IN MASSACHUSETTS

At the opening in Lower Massachusetts Hall yesterday afternoon of the public exhibition of model, stage settings submitted in the first scenery designing competition recently conducted by the 47 Workshop, the decision of the judges was announced. First award has been made to Rollo L. Wayne 1G., a graduate of the University of Louisville, who designed model No. 8. Wayne also created the scenery for the third act of "Time Will Tell" in the last Workshop production. Honorable mention has been given to the following designers of either models or drawings: Henry R. Hitchcock '24 of Plymouth, No. 4; John McAndrew '24 of New York City, No. 5; Newby Murray '24 of Yonkers-on-Hudson, New York, No. 11; Lovering Hathaway Sp., of Dedham, No. 12; and Helen Dwelle, Unclassified, Radcliffe, of Buffalo, New York, No. 13.

The winning model gives a striking silhouette of the characters, who are grouped about the summit of a hill from behind which a flood-light effectively blends soft yellow, blue and violet rays, while one bright star shines brightly in the sky. The simplicity of the design well fits the spirit of the play for which it is intended--"The Mystery of the King's Berth," a one-act Christmas mystery by Adair Archer '17, formerly of the Workshop.
