The following item is submitted by the University of Hawaii News Service. We appreciate the first-hand peek at Art's interesting job in Honolulu:
"Arthur E. Wyman 'II designed the stagesets and directed the University of HawaiiTheater Guild's world premiere production of Christopher Morley's play, 'Wherethe Blue Begins.' George Bernard Shawwas in the first night audience and complimented the play. Morley and Wyman actedin the prologue.
"Wyman had had a previous associationwith 'Where the Blue Begins.' In 1928 and1929, he was associated with Morley, HarryW. Gribble, Cleon Throckmorton, andConrad Milliken, leading lights of the NewYork theater world, in the HobokenTheatrical Company.
"This organization revived the melodramas of the gas light era in an oldtheater in Hoboken, N. J., and became oneof the most popular ventures in the metropolitan theatre district. The HobokenCompany had rehearsed 'Where the Blue Begins,' but was unable to produce it because of the unprecedented run of 'After Dark,' a stage hit of the 'Bo's.
"Every year Wyman directs the University of Hawaii Theater Guild in the production of a Japanese and a Chinese playin English, a Hawaiian pageant, arid aCaucasian play. Early this year he directedthe English world premiere of the Japaneseplay 'Sakazaki, Lord of Dewa.'
"Last summer he toured the Orient andmade a study of Japanese and Chinesedrama. While in Peking he met Mei LanFang, China's foremost actor, and severalother well-known Oriental stage stars."
