HERBERT of Magic," a science show efore more than 13,000,000 m years, and which was one airs and major expositions, is coming to Columbia. The show, which presents in an interesting and entertaining man ner the marvels of modern science, will appear at Drayton Hall, on January 21 for two showings with one at 3:30 p. m. and another at 8:00 p. m. Tickets are available without charge and may be obtained at the campus information desk. En gineering and physics students may obtain tickets from Dean Sumwalt and Professor Mercer. Tickets are required because of the limited facilities. The "House of Magic" got its name from the late Floyd Gibbons, author, lecturer and foreign cor respondent, who so dubbed the General Electric Research Lab oratory, in which scientists dis covered the phenomena presented in the science show. Now entering its seventeenth season, the "House of Magic" has attracted capacity crowds at every performance. More than 2,500,000 persons saw it at the New York World's Fair alone. During World War II it was presented before 1,200,000 service men and women at camps throughout the country. A man shaking hands with his own shadow, visible sound and audible light, a toy electric train which obeys voice commands, paper which explodes, lighting an electric light with a match-these and many other demonstrations will be presented. Among the most impressive fea tures of the show is that of send ing sound across the stage on a light beam. A record is played, and the music is sent across the stage to a loud speaker on a narrow beam of light. The lecturer is able to interrupt the music program merely by breaking the beam of light with his head. With microwave equipment employing high-frequency radio waves-the lecturer will demon strate how to "see" around corners and through walls. A whirling metal blade, shaped like an airplane propeller, will appear to stand still in stroboscopic light. The miniature propeller turns at the rate of 1800 revolu tions a minute and, because it is synchronized with the flashing of the stroboscopic light, has the appearance of bieing "stopped."
