Drama Festival production of “Peer Gynt” runs seven and one half hours. Long before the play went into rehearsal, the tremendous task of adapting the poem to the stage and cutting the length from nearly eight hours to less than two and one half hours while re­ taining the plot and story was undertaken by Professor Herschel Bricker, director of the Maine Masque. Professor Bricker’s able adaptation, which he began in De­ cember and finished two days before the play opened on May 4, called for twenty scenes as diverse as the mountains of Norway, the coast of Morocco, the Great Sphinx of Egypt, and a ship at sea. How to accomplish the scenery changes required and still keep the play running smoothly? Projection of the scenery onto a background screen was the method finally chosen. One member of the Masque painted the desired scenery on art paper. These scenes were photographed in color by another member and made into color slides. A Kleige Stereopticon projected the scenes onto a specially treated backdrop from the back. The technique of projecting scenery from above stage is quite common, but, insofar as is known, the Masque made Jack Hardy ’57 as Peer Gynt. the first use of direct projection from the back. The rapid changes of scenery were accomplished very effectively with this technique. Other groups of Masque members spent many hours record Experimentation and achievement in fine arts are generally as­ ing voices and background music, some of which came from sociated with the liberal arts colleges and the large universities Edvard Grieg’s “Peer Gynt Suite,” then timing and cutting the but not with a small land-grant university.

He also has one grandson. From Worcester, Mass , came a very interesting letter from Dr James E. Masterson. He said that his sojourn at Maine came to an abrupt end in 1913 when he transferred to Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from that insti­ tution in 1917, just in time to enter the 1st World War. In 1920, he resigned his army commission and returned to Worcester, where he was made City Veterinarian. This job, which consists of doing animal health work for both State and City, he has held ever since. He has six children, of whom five graduated from Rhode Island State Uni­ versity, Kingston, R. I. The sixth child graduated from a Boston Art School. Three of the children are doctors. Two of the boys are Orthopedic Sur­ geons, and the third is a lawyer, a graduate of Boston College of Law.
