The class work occupies four hours daily, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., five days a week; but the enthusiasm of the students frequently carries the work over into the afternoon hours. Dramatic applicants will be carefully examined and classified on registration day, according to needs, experience and purpose in study. Students who show marked ability are recommended to stage managers. Registrations and examinations, May 17, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For tuition, see page 19. Many of our dramatic students have won recognition on the stage. One of the most recent successes is that of Mr. Shen Hung of Shanghai, China, who attended last year's Dramatic Term. Mr. Shen Hung directed and acted in the Chinese play "Mu Lan," which was given at the Cort Theatre in New York City the latter part of February. The play was an English dramatization of a classic Chinese poem and was played in the Chinese manner. It was beautifully mounted and costumed and the speaking parts were taken by Chinese students from Columbia University; Mr. Shen Hung expects to return to the School of Expression for advanced work in October.

The City of Asheville Asheville is a beautiful city of twenty-thousand inhabitants, surrounded by majestic mountain peaks and famous for its walks and drives and handsome country places. The summers are cool and delightful. It would be hard to imagine a more suitable and attractive location for a summer school. Asheville has a most progressive health department and for its proper maintenance is now spending $25,000 a year. Asheville allows no one to occupy a room in any hotel, boarding house or other place that has been occupied by a person having any disease considered dangerous to the public health, until such room has been disinfected by an officer from the Health Department. Asheville is reached from the north, east, west and south by the lines of the Southern Railway, which meet here, all of which pass through the magnificent, inspiring scenery of the Allegheny and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Asheville train service includes through cars daily from New York and Washington, with connections from Boston and New England cities; also connections via Norfolk, Va., with direct steamers from Boston and New York; from southern cities via Columbia, Spartanburg and Atlanta; from the west, via Cincinnati, Louisville, Chattanooga, and service to all |
