When Galsworthy came there to see
the presentation of his “Silver Box, ’
in which Mr. Szold appeared, he pro
nounced it the world’s foremost the
atrical school, which, of course, is
praise worth having. While a stu
dent at Tech, Mr. Szold did extensive
outside work, coaching the Women’s
council of 1,000 members and the
Twentieth Century club of Pittsburg.
He has taught make-up and has
studied and experimented with all
the new methods of stage lighting
and scenic effects, including the new
limbach color organ. He has also
studied costume designing and is al
together a most versatile young man.
Fearing the men may consider Mr.
Szold too “high brow” to be capable,
t must be told that he is also an
ithletic star, for, while at North
western, he v:on his four letters on
the track team. When the Tech
coaches discovered his track ability,
he was placed on both the outdoor
and indoor track teams. He was a
member of the winning American re
lay team at the inter-allied track
meet, running a quarter-mile, and is
the holder of the Iowa state record
for a quarter-mile, the Northwestern
college record for the quarter-mile
<ind the Indiana state collegiate rec
Drd for the same distance. In spite
of these distinctions. Mr. Szold says:
•*I am interested in the production of
plays, and shall devote the^ greater
part of my time to this end.”
