LETTER TELLS OF DANNY REED AT ROCHESTER Former Carolina Student' Now At Columbia University Visits Reed EASTMAN GAVE THEATRE "The Student Prince" and "Gen tlemen Prefer Blondes" Staged The following letter is froni a former s, udeit who is studying at Colum'.ia University and will be read with much interest by friends of Danny Reed who are watching his work at Rochester. Tlie wri er was an editor of the Caro linian and promineut in campus activities while here. .ditors of the Gamecock: Within the past few weeks. I visited .Mr. Daniel Reed and his family in Rochester. and I thought the students of the University would he interested in hearing of his work there. Aithough lie is completely lost toColumbia, we still feel an interest in him as an adopted son. anld wish for him inl larger and more important circles the recognition that his ability deserves. His outstandding suc cess at the Eastman Theatre is a step toward that recognition. Before you can appreciate the mag tude of Mr. Reed's achievement in his present position, you must know some thing about Hastmiian Theatre itself. This iistiution was given to the Universi-y of Rochester several years ago by Mr. East man. the kodak milionaire. The school of the opera is affiliated with the motion pic-ure house, furnishing the singers for he acts that are produced in connectIoIn with the movies. Mr. Eastman also supports a Ph ilharnionic orchestra which is amni the best in the worldI an)d Iwhich gives concerts every Thursday a t ternooii. TIe actual size of the thea-re is breath taking. There is titne room larger thaii he Town Theatre where a conmpetely new set of scenery is built for each week's performance: a sewing room, where three seamstresses are kept coistan ly busy inder the direction of the bead cos inmer mnakini, costitmes for the shows: an1ther ron as 1arge as the Kaastman Theatre s age. where the ballet is pre paired wheii a dance number is require I by tlie act : lastly, there is a roum for re hearsals. These are merely the uiits that \r. Reed haS t direct and co-ordinate. to say nothing (of the conductor's studios. the projectiton rotim. the experimental laboratory for imovic effect,s and filiming problems, etc, etc. kinornious sumis 4f mioneY are expend ed yearly !Il lmoliye doe;s 1,t spel1 art as shown by the failure of the eight directors that were employed during the season of 1926-27, -e)fore Mr. Reed took charge, and proved his adminiistra'ive as well as his creative ability by synthesiz ing the various contribirory elements into an aesthetic whole. Mr. Eastman. him self, has recognized the vailue of Mr. Reed's work and p)raisedl it highly Early' in the fall, the dIramatic critics in Rochester began to notice the difference in lhe acts and openly commentedl on the impirovemient. Concerining several of the acts, that I wi-li tell you albouto later, they were -nlost lavish in their praise. Their increasing popularity with the pubhlic is shown by the extension of time allowed from four to seventeen miniu'es, which the manager did to meet the pllic de mandl. The same moasteriy fir'esse and asthetic nni'y that dis' inguished Mr. Reed's pro ductiotns in, Columbia. are to be seen in these presentations. With the propler material at'd equipment to wvork with, lhe is showing what exqluisi'e results lhe can obtaini-all wi-h no worry, no working day anid night, no construction of scen ery, no making of costumes. Mr. Reed supplies the guiinig geius and( the actual manual labor is per formed by specialists who strictly follow his detailed ir's' rue tions. I,ike 'lie condutcor of a symphony he builds out of the many contributory arts a finished production in which the compotnentt parts are per feet ly blended I saw two of his acts, and read oif many more ini the Rochies'er p)aiers. The f'--'st week the picture was "The Stu (dint Prince," and Mr. Reed p)resentedl the garden 5cente att Heidelberg. with the (drinkinig songs of the students and a song by Kathi. The special inipres sive feature of this act was the artistic groupings-each a beautifully balanced andl harmonios nictstre in itself. The following week "Gentiemen pref.-r Blondes" was shown, and Mr. Reed's offering was a night club that would iave done credit to Texas Guinan in its novelty of entertainment and gay, lumorous vigor. The acts that were especially praised during the fall were: the second act of Carmen, a musical and pantomine interpretation of the Rubaiyat, a dramatization of the 3lue Danube with a May Day Festival :lance, a negro character act called "Rain," an ingenious presentation of the events all over the world while they are being told over the radio, and finally the one that called forth more favorable criticism than any other was the dramatization of the old Hebrew For Young Know What If you've made up y just what new style y< suit, you'll find it exa tingham Fabrics.

It resembled Blake's illustrations for the book of Job in its mystic and imaginative qualities. Whether Mr. Reed remains in Ro cies er for a few more years, whether lie organizes his own repertory theatre in New York or Chicago. or whether lie returns to the stage as an actor t-his much seens certain, he has "ar rived" professionally and Columbia will be proud of the part that it was able to contribute to his development.
