Italy Consul
Talks Soon
The fourth forum in the “Meet
your Consuls” series will be held
Thursday, Nov. 6, at 8 p.m. in
Harbeson Hall, with Dr. Mario
Ungaro, Italian Consul at Los
Angeles, as the featured speaker.
Dr. Ungaro received a degree
in economics from the University
of Venice in 1927. From 1930 to
1939, he was with the Italian
Board of Trade and lived in
India. He was mainly engaged
in Italian trade treaty negotia¬
tions and commercial promotion
between that country and Italy,
making frequent trips to Europe.
In 1939, Dr. Ungaro held the
post of Italian Charge D’Affaires
in Afghanistan, and did much to
bring about the commercial
treaty of 1939 between Afghan¬
istan and Italy.
At the end of World War II,
Dr. Ungaro returned to Italy,
where he joined the Foreign Of¬
fice. In 1949, he was sent to the
United Nations in New York, and
at the end of that year was ap¬
pointed Consul for Italy in Los
Angeles.
The final forum in the “Meet
the Consuls” series will be held
on November 13, and will feature
a speaker from Switzerland. The
general public is welcome at all
of the programs.

promises many laughs and much
entertainment is the marriage

of last year’s backwards dance,
in which it proved successful.

Its Magic
How would you like to see mo¬

shadow, or music carried on a
beam of light? All these and
many others will be shown at
the “House of Magic,” Novem¬

The demonstration is put on
by the General Electric Co. and
is being sponsored on this cam¬

The name, “House of Magic,”
was originated by the late Floyd
Gibbons, author, lecturer and
foreign correspondent. Upon vis¬
iting the General Electric Re¬
search Laboratory at Schenec¬
tady, New York, he saw so many
fascinating things there that he
gave the laboratory its unusual
name.
The show, which is designed to
be both entertaining and inform¬
ative, is in its seventeenth sea¬
son, and has been presented be¬
fore more than 13,000,000 persons.
Among the most impressive
features of the show are: light¬
ing an electric bulb with a
match; sending sound across the
stage on a light beam; a man
shaking hands with his own sha¬
dow; visible sound and audible
light; and a train which obeys
the sound of a man’s voice.
Admission is free and the
show is open to the public.
