DRAMATIC CLUB DISPLAYS NEW SETS BY DOS PASSOS

The designs for the sets of the Dramatic Club's forthcoming production, "The Moon is a Gong," were placed on display last night at the Union. In order that the scenery should be in exact harmony with the thought and action of use play, the author, John Dos Passos '16 himself undertook the design of it. The sketches now on view are the result of his work.

These sets are designed to be in keeping with the trend toward the bizarre and the impressionistic in the modern drama. They make no attempt at realism, They, like the play, are indicative of a mood rather than of an action, and to this, they supply an adequate background. Scenery of this type proved effective in the recent Broadway production of John Howard Lawson's "Processional."

The three sets on display consist of a backyard scene in a 'tenement district of Greenwich Village, a view of Union Square as Don Passos sees it, and a tableau curtain very similar to that used in the "Chauve Souris." Color and lighting run, riot in these sets and obtain a startling effect of ordered disorder. In addition to the sets, there is on display a mask designed by I. M. Simon '27, a member of the club.
