starting, for the sake of precept, with the simplest carpentry and leading through construction processes to
hanging problems.
We appreciate the reviewer's favorable appraisal of
the sections dealing with painting, the scene shop and
assembling and running the show, and his overall evaluation as "the best available volume on its topic."
And we ask you, sir, if the phrase "veritable good
mines" was written as "veritable gold mines" in the
reviewer's script. If so, bless him! [Yes! Ed.]
With sincerely cordial sentiments, yours,
Harold Burris-Meyer and Edward C. Cole

NEWS (Cont'd.)

Many years ago, before Roosevelt University occupied
the Auditorium Building, the rehearsal hall was ravaged
by fire and the design work created by Louis Sullivan was
destroyed. In salvaging the hall, little care was given to
creating an esthetically interesting atmosphere, and for
years it was a somewhat drab, utilitarian hall that doubled
as theatre, recital room, classroom and moving picture
theatre.

is demonstrated as to function, care, and techniques in
handling. An actual hologram is constructed, processed,
and viewed.

All that is ended now as the Patrick O'Malley Workshop bows to the world as a smart pastel gray, red and
black showcase for drama, moving pictures, lectures and
recitals.

SESSiON 3 through 9 - Practice. Participants working in
small groups use a complete holographic system to make
holograms under supervision. A sufficient amount of
expendable materials such as film and chemicals is provided. Additional film may be purchased at cost. Informal
group discussions are held. The College science library is
available for research.

Everything is new, from the air-conditioning units on
the roof to the 336 seats. In addition to a new dressing
room and "green" room, offices for the staff of the
Roosevelt University Theatre have been built. On the
Workshop Theatre's thrust stage the University plans to
present a wide range of events, from drama to music, and
from ballet to visiting lecturers.

SESSION 10 - Concluding discussion. Questions concerning various phases of hologram-making are discussed. A
booklet on holographic material is distributed. Also, details are presented for constructing homemade systems
with inexpensive materials, as well as costs and availability
of professional equipment.

Mr. Philip Rose, President of Century Strand Inc., has
announced that expansion of its plant at 5432 West 102nd
