Prof. G. P. Baker Has Experimental Playwright Schoo
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Theater, Given University by Edward Harkness, Soon Will Be Completed
(United Press)
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 10—WITH
the eyes of the theatrical world on
him Prof. George Pierce Baker,
formerly herd of the famous "47
Workshop" at Harvard, has begun
turning out plawwrights at Yale.
The cecoptes are continuing to say that playwrights cannot be made in the classroom, but the long list of successful dramatists turned out by Professor Baker has caused Broadway to his Yale experiment with interest.
Not only are the Yale classes being taught to write plays, but to stage them, design the sets and costumes and run a theater. In a short time the beautiful new $1,000,000 Yale theater, given the University by Edward Hardwick, who endowed the drama department will be compiled here. Baker is one of the most complete drama workshop in the world at his command.
Theater Well Equipped
The new theater will contain lecture rooms, experimental laboratories workshops for scene designing and building, workshops for costumes, and interiors designed and equipped with all of the latest modern appliances and a large auditorium.
In the meantime Professor Baker has started his classes at 62 Hill Street, where he built several buildings. Fully 60 per cent of these who applied were rejected. Professor Baker wants no students who have not a better than even chance of success.
No Set Rules for Writing
He demands of his students that they write stories in prose, not way but he has no set rules for making plays. He also differs from the critics in demanding that his students have a wide and comprehensive background of reading, in the drama of countries and also in general literature.
"Eugene O'Nell was a joy in that way. No outside consideration of fected him. Something took possession, and he quickly until it was right as he saw it."
"I seek," Professor Baker said, "to find out what the Student really want to do and then help him to do that. We discourage him from trying to guess what he will be popular and induce cares about what he really cares about."
Among the well known playwrights Professor Baker taught while at Harvard are, besides O'Nell, Edward Knobkock, Philip Barrary, Percy Mackey, Shadwick Sibshea Howard Lewis Beach and Joseph Presson Peabody.
Amazon Valley Film Here
River Country Shown in Movie at Fraser Hall
"In the Land of the Amazons," an eight-reel picture, will be presented by the bureau of visual instruction of the University of Arizona with the department of geology, at Fraser Hall this evening at 7:30. This is the only movie film of the Amazon valley in the United States that tells facts about an awe and a half.
The Amazon valley is porphyre the most dense forest region in the world, and is the source of the best raw tau proteins on earth. The Amazon river is unquestionably the world's largest river according to Prof. W. N. Prosey of the University.
This section is commercially alive because of the shipping facilities offered by the Amazon, said Professor Posey, who is in charge of the showing of the film. Ocean worms penetrate the seabed, and they fissure, which is 2,000 miles inland.
The film has been brought to K. U. through the efforts of Professor Posey, Prof. R. C. Moore, and Dr. G. L. McNeill of the Pan American Union. This organization has members from each of the 21 American republics, and is for the purpose of feathering good will toward the United States board of the union is composed of the secretary of state and the diplomatic representatives of the other Americas in Washington. They possess an auditory sense of truth and are evaluated at over a million dollars.

Sothe and daughters of banks are represented quite high in the statistics, and separate separate professions are listed.
Three hundred and seventy-five students have not listed the occupation of joir parent or guardian.
