to appear on the Town Hall Beries.
At twenty-four, Welles has al
ready won his laurels in the
American theatre, having directed,
produced, written, and been star
of countless plays. His success
story is a strange one. At fourteen,
his parents thought he had a flair
for painting so they sent htm to
Ireland to study. While there he
ventured into a professional the
atre and told the director that he
was a famous American actor. By
some stroke of luck, the director
believed him and gave him a dif
ficult character part which led him
to apparances with the Abbey
nay era.
Writes book.
Upon returning to America and
finding that the news of his suc
cess had not followed him, he re
tired into solitude and write "Ev-
body. That means that, while it
is traditionally an ag party and
always a date affair, all students
are welcome." He also pointed out
mat treshmen are particularly in
vited to come, and that at the for
mal the ice is really broken as
everyone gets into the swing.
In other years themes of the
formal have been everything from
gypsy camps to barnyard scenes,
with covered wagons, chuck wag
ons, ranch houses, donkeys, and
fortune tellers.

In the years following, Welles
produced plays on the stage and
also starred on a radio theatre.
It was then that he brought Mer
cury theatre into being and it
proved to be one of the most vital
and exacting producting com
panies of the theatre. Some of the
outstanding successes he produced
there are a modern dress version
of "Julius Caesar" and George
Bernard Shaw's "Heartbreak
House."
To his triumphs on the stage

the screen. He is now stationed on
the RKO lot in Hollywood, direct
