M iss Jackson and Mr. Mr. Davis will leave to take up their positions sometime in the late suntiter. The Mississippi State College for \Vonen, at Columbus, Miss., is an A grade college, attended by some 1,400 young women. The department of SpokenI English, which Mr. Davis will head, with Miss Jackson as his assis tant, is a branch of the department of English, headed by Dr. L. G. Painter, a Harvard man who has made a sound reputation in educational circles. h'le function of the department of Spoken English includes instruction in public speaking, diction, voice training, and play reading, and includes the produc tion of five plays annually, in which the students take part. MIr. Davis and Miss Jackson, both of whom have demonstrated their abilitic,, in the local theatre, will have at their disposal one of the finest auditoriumi in the south. This auditorium, now under construction, will contain a fully eluipped stage, with every facility ftr creditable play production. In ad (lition the college has a "laboratorV theatre," with a small stage and small seating capacity which is used by tle classes in their study of play produc tion.

Conlttntbians will remnmber the ef ficient and capable work which both Mr. Davis and Miss Jackson have rcn '-red ttt the Town Theatre during Ieir connection with the institution. ('oming with the local group three vcars ago, Mr. Davis has not onl .trved as stage manager, attendingr t(. all technical details, but has under studied practically every male part all the plays prodticed during his co' nection with the theatre. He played the lead in "A I)oll'-s Iouse," secott tale part in "Dust of the Road.' "Iea'ries,' in "The D)octor in Spite of IHiumself," Frank Hyland in ''The Show RT"as well as intor andl charact er patrt s inl ''\rms and( thle Man,'' "The (Concert,'' "'Romianc'e." "'Justice,' and nmer'otus ot her plays. Thus he( is enabledl to take wvith himt to his new tlac'e a complete experience in the werk of the theatre, Miss Jac'kson, much of wvhose techni cal work has necessarily been without recognitiotn from tile audience, is re mlemb)eredl chiefly for her excellent ebaracter interpretations on the stage. Appearing in several folk plays, she has never failed to convince and to please. Her performance of the young r'irl in "Sinup," was on'e of the decided hits of the 1926-27 season, She is also remenmbered for her perfornmances at the old woman in "The Witches' Spell," as the old woman in "The Score."
