Marjorie Williams A French Lodging House Keeper, Marjorie Mackenzie Like “Patience”, “Beau Brummel” be- longs to the last years of the eighteen hundreds when fin de siécle was the favor- ite adjective and came so glibly off the tongue that it persisted several years after the turn of the century. Fin de siécle meant effete, exhausted, possibly perverse. The twentieth century was to change all that. And yet when “Beau Brummel”~ was produced in 1890, Edwin Booth was still playing and Augustin Daly had not yet gone down before the syndicate. During the decade to 1900 the playgoer might see Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, Joseph Jefferson, Helena Modjeska with Otis Skinner, Richard Mansfield, Eleanora Duse, and Sarah Bernhardt hardly past her prime, besides other pleasant visitors from France,—Jane Hading, Réjane, Co- quelin. Ibsen and Shaw crossed the ocean: Mrs. Fiske produced “A Doll's House”, Richard Mansfield “Arms and the Man”, Gilbert and Sullivan continued to provide innocent and delicious merri- ment; Barrie appeared as a playwright with “The Professor’s Love Story” and “The Little Minister’; Pinero and Henry Arthur Jones were established in favour. A Boer War and a War with Spain could not darken the sky. Not altogether so bad a time in which to begin to acquire a taste for the thea- tre; or for the opera, with Nordica, the brothers de Rezke and Emma Calvé! “Beau Brummel” vanished from the stage with the death of Mansfield, as did “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, “Prince Karl’, and “A Parisian Romance”, in which as Baron Chevrial he won his first success. A revival of any of these is as unlikely as a revival of “Rip Van Winkle”. One and all they had the same reason for exist- ence, the opportunity they offer for virtu- osity; an actor who should depart from the traditional impersonations would seem to commit a flagrant offense. These ghosts of the eighteen-nineties do not walk except in an amateur production. Reminiscence could be active last Sat- | urday evening, because the performance was exceptionally smooth. The other characters in the play have no other office | than to exhibit and exalt the central fig- ure; yet the impersonation was always adequate and in some cases unexpectedly interesting. Miss Gardiner, who at the dress rehearsal took Miss Hart’s place as Mortimer, sustained the part creditably and was particularly good in the last scene. Miss Mackenzie as Sheridan fairly resembled the Gainsborough portrait, and her brief appearance as the lodging- house keeper was a neat bit of acting. Miss Schwarz’s Mariana was graceful, sincere and commendably free from af- fectation; Miss Ridlon’s Mrs. St. Aubyn was a delight to eye and ear; next to Miss Kneeland, Miss Hodges deserves praise for a consistently spirited imper- sonation of the Duchess of Leamington and a most contagious and malicious laugh. The two Bailiffs were models of frizhtfulness. Miss Fraser had probably the most un- grateful part in the play, that of Mr. Vin- cent. Only a born comedian could have continued to “wobble” plausibly during the Beau’s interminable soliloquy. Miss Houghton, who acted the part of Regi- nald, the Beau’s nephew and Mariana’s lover, had to find compensation in a pic- turesque costume and a somewhat over- vehement action for lines of insuperable dullness and sentimentality. Miss Huff deserves credit for not attempting a more realistic portrayal of the Prince. Reminiscence found sustenance through- out the course of the play; in the pres- . ence of Miss Kneeland’s “Beau Brummel” (Continued on page 2, colume 2) TRACK MEET GOES TO 1917 H. Harris for Third Time is Individual Champion SIX B. M.'S AWARDED 1917, with 27 points over 1919, won the track meet last Saturday. 1919 won sec- ond place and 1920 won third. The seniors’ success was largely due to the spectacular performances of H. Harris, individual champion and holder of the in- dividual track cup now for the third year. Miss Harris won three of the six B. M.’s awarded this year in track. Two B. M.'s went to M. Scattergood '17, and one to A. Stiles '19, winners respectively of third and second places in the individual cham- | pionship. A B. M. is given in track for breaking or equaling a record, or win- | nine one of the three places in-the-indi- vidual championship. H. Harris, winning first place in six events, made 44 points for her class and broke by two inches her last week’s rec- ord of 31 ft. 11% in. in the hop, step, and jump. She failed to break her last week's record of 4 ft. 4% in. in the running high jump. G. Hearne ‘19 won second place in this event, with the prettiest jumping seen on the field.

Jones, Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at Haverford and Chairman of the Board of Directors at Bryn Mawr, will deliver the annual Founder's lecture at eight o’clock in Taylor. His subject is “Quaker Ideals”. Founder's lecture is arranged yearly in memory of Dr. Taylor by the directors of the college. A member of the Society of Friends is always the speaker in order to give the students some idea of the Friendly principles. Four years ago, in 1912-13, Dr. Jones spoke on the same oc- casion on “Four Quaker Innovations”. The lecture was not given last year.

The fateful third year of the News’ existence has been safely weathered, and the credit for this is due in great measure to Elisabeth Granger and Virginia Litchfield. With- out Elisabeth Granger's steady judgment and unswerving faithfulness this year would have been one of difficulties for the News. Virginia Litchfield’s management has made possible the middle sheet. The Board loses too its oldest inhabitant, the only one left except Miss Applebee, of the original Board. Eleanor Dulles, who will be sorely missed. We can only hope that the perilous seventh year will be met with another sich board from the class of 1921. Omission Corrected In the last issue of the College News two letiers from Dr. Scott were printed in the correspondence column. The heading to the second, “Relief, Red Cross, and Restoration Funds”, omitted by the prin- ter, is now supplied. The News regrets its inability to avoid such an omission. D.

The next competition for an editor from 1920 will begin next fall. “TAKE DOWN THE SHOVEL AND HOE” Bryn Mawr to Raise Own Beans The offer of 100 acres of ploughed and fertilized land in West Chester, Pennsyl- vania, for the use of the college has in- spired a canvass for farm workers during the summer. Under an expert, students, working in a unit of 20 or 30, should raise enough vegetables to feed 500 people for a year. By supplying the college with food for the coming year the farm would release to the market the supply otherwise used here. Canning might be done at the farm, and a root cellar is proposed on the campus. No one is advised to sign for less than three weeks. Pay would be by the hour and would probably cover living expenses. BEERSEL, B. M. BELGIUM TOWN ALUMNAE SUPPORT FEEDS 54'< Beersel, near Malines, in the province of Antwerp, is the village Bryn Mawr is pledged to support from now until March, 1918. Six hundred and fifty-four dollars, a sum sufficient to give 54% children the supplementary meal for a year has been contributed by the Alumnae in answer to the appeal sent out by the Bryn Mawr Committee on Belgian Relief. - (Continued from page +) of the button-hole, of the hat; the ‘chal- lenge to the audience in the triumphant perfection of the dandy about to make his nephew’s fortune by giving him an arm to White’s. Here were the old sal- lies, insolent, impudent or witty, histor- ical or apocryphal, scraped together from the annals of the Regency. Here again was the profanation of the bailiff’s touch on the immaculate coat-sleeve. Once more it was demonstrated that virtuosity and a bandful of neat speeches will make the fortune of a play with any audience, Perhaps from the fatigue of the second performance, or as a natural result of over-training, Miss Kneeland’s acting was now and then lacking in freedom. In gen- eral, however, she gave an admirable per- formance and acquitted herself especially well in the difficult fourth act. Scene 2 of Act IV one critic has as- serted to be “the one original, imagina- tive, and effective scene in the play, in which the starving exquisite, dreaming of his former state, dines luxuriously off phantom dishes while entertaining old companions.conjured up by his delirium”. It may be so, yet the rest of the play being what it is, one might still prefer to end the piece with the third act, fore- going the final “engagement with His Majesty”. An unquestionable improve- ment was the omission in the last act of the entrance of the King, Mrs. St. Aubyn, and the rest, the cheapest of theatrical devices for a tableau. Scenery and costumes were notably ef- fective and in good taste; the lighting, especially of the last scene, was good; and—extraordinary. merit!—the voices were agreeable.

Miss Reilly told of the scarcity of food all over the world and emphasized the need of conservation for the help of the Allies as well as for America. The many openings in this country for farm labor- ers, she said, could be largely filled by women, Among the many organizations attempting to bring together the farmers | wanting labor and the women willing to work, Miss Reilly mentioned especially the National League for Women’s Service and the Philadelphia Bureau of Occupa- tions.

KNEELAND Old Executive Traces History of Association Virginia Kneeland ’18 became president of the Undergraduate Association at the annual elections held last Tuesday night. Gordon Woodbury °'19 was elected vice- president and treasurer, Jeannette Pea- body ’19 secretary, and Margaret Hutch- ins '20 assistant treasurer. Before the elections the retiring president and treas- urer read their reports. In her report Dorothy Shipley, the retir- ing president, told of the work of the As- sociation and its committees during the past year, mentioning especially the suc- cess of the Endowment Fund Committee, which has already raised all of this year’s $5000 and all but $283 of last year’s defi- cit. She traced the history of the Asso- ciation, showing how several years ago it lost much of its original power, and is now regaining and enlarging on it. Miss Shipley also announced the cap- tains of the five preparedness reserves: E. Marquand '19, Business; M. Andrews 17, Hospital; F. Clarke '19, Agriculture; L. T. Smith '18, Science, and E. Houghton "18, Mechanics. Miss Kneeland was treasurer of the As- sociation this year, and a member of its Advisory Board. She was manager of 19¥8’s sophomore and junior plays, and toastmistress at their Freshman Banquet and last year’s College Breakfast.

The playing of the “Marseillaise”, ac- cording to the Literary Digest, seems to stir audiences to more patriotic emotion than the “Star Spangled Banner’, and The New York Tribune sympathizes with those who refuse to stand when the Amer- ican air is “maltreated almost beyond recognition”. The Tribune suggests as a remedy the rule of the Army, that the national anthem shall always be played through complete and shall never be played in a medley. DR. MILLER SPEAKS ON ANDES Dr. Benjamin L.

The lecture was illustrated by lantern slides. “DRAMATIC LABORATORY™ AT PENN Three Plays Written by by Seniors Given in er neg ee nat Travelling Playshop | _ A “dramatic laboratory”, comparable to Professor Baker’s Workshop 47 at Har ‘vard, has recently been established at the University of Pennsylvania for the study of new forms of stage craft. On Friday at the University in Weightman Hall three plays by seniers will be performed, “Man”, a morality play, “The Soul Cure”, a study in psychoanalysis, and “The Great God Bull”, a tragedy. - “The Playshop is a travelling atti’ the Public Ledger explains. “It can be picked up, stowed away in one wagon and hauled to any part of the country. Then it is set up and original plays writ- ten by students of the University are acted by students. The idea is to get the footlights out of the way and open the path for the actors and audience to co- operate. To this end interpreters are in- troduced in the form of clowns, etc., who ask the actors those questions which would naturally occur in the mind of the audience.

Hollis '19, first and second team captains, opposed it on the ground that changing in the middle of the season put too many side centers out of their accustomed positions. Water-Polo Situation Explained The situation in regard to the water- polo game played by Varsity on March 24th and the misunderstanding in regard to it which had arisen between the Ath- letic Committee of the Alumnz Associa- tion and the Athletic Board was then ex- plained by the Chair, M. Thompson ’17. Miss Applebee in a short speech further made clear the status of Alumne-Varsity matches. The letter, which Miss Thompson read at the meeting, from the Athletic Com- mittee of the Alumnz Association to the Athletic Board and the letter which the Board wrote in answer give the principal facts: Letter from the Alumnz March 28, 1917. To the Athletic Association Board: On Saturday, March 24th, the Captain of the Alumnze Water-polo Team called off the Alumnew-Varsity game scheduled for 5.30 that afternoon. At four o’clock M. Willard, representing the Varsity, ac- companied by O. Erbsloh '15, who had come to play for the Alumne in the can- celled game, came to B. S. Ehlers as a member of the Alumnz Association Ath- letic Committee and asked whether there was any reason why a game should not still be played if enough Alumne could be found in the neighborhood willing to play. Miss Willard stated that a number of the Varsity had stayed over the week end to play and were anxious to have a game of some kind. Miss Ehlers answered for the Alumnz Athletic Committee that there was no reason why any Alumne who wished to do so should not play a game with the Varsity, but that such a game, if it took place, would not be the Official Alumne game and the team could in no respect be considered an official Alumne team; further, that wherever such a game and team were mentioned their unofficial nature must be empha- sized. The “College News” of March 28th states that the Board Meeting on Mon- day night in considering the matter of awarding B. M.’s “declared the game un- official”. Such a declaration is clearly not within the province of the Athletic Association. The team that met the Var- sity was definitely declared an unofficial team by the Athletic Committee of the Alumne Association and the game an unofficial game. The understanding of the Alumne Association is that, while it is entirely the business of the “Board” to decide for which games played be- tween the Varsity and outside teams it wishes to award B. M.'s, that Board has no power to determine the status, as offi- cial or unofficial, of a team of Alumne playing against them. Signed: Maude Dessau, Chairman. Esther White, Bertha S. Ehlers. Answer of the Athletic Board To the Athletic Committee of the Alumn- nz Association: The Athletic Board regrets that there the water-polo game of March the twenty- fourth, and. wishes to explain to the. ‘Alumnge their connection with the affair. ‘At a meeting of the Board after the game the question of arranging another time for the Alumnzw water-polo game this year was discussed. Before this meeting it was fully understood that the team which the Varsity played was not the official Alumnz Team and therefore the Board made no decision concerning this game. The statement in the “College News” of March 28th, that the Board had “declared the game unofficial” was en- tirely erroneous. We are very sorry that tween the Alumnez Board and the Ath- letic Board and we hope that the Alumne- Varsity game may be arranged for later in the spring. (Signed) Teresa Howell, Secretary of the Athletic Board. Editor’s Note: The Editors take this opportunity of expressing both to the Athletic Committee of the Alumnz Asso- ciation and to the Athletic Association Board their regret that through misstate- ments printed in.the “College News” the above misunderstanding has arisen.

NEW COURES IN ART DEPARTMENT History of Spanish Painting and Aesthetics Will Be Given Next Year A three-hour post-major course in Span- ish painting is to be given next year by Miss King and a two-hour free elective in Aesthetics by Miss Parkhurst. Miss King is going to Spain this summer to col- lect additional material for her course, which will begin with the miniaturists’ work in manuscripts of the tenth century in the Escurial, and will come up to Zu- loaga and Sorolla. The early miniaturists, the mural dec- oration of the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the ‘Romanisers trained by Raphael's pupils, the natural- ism of Seville will be treated by Miss King. Velasquez will be studied at some length, and-a particularly interesting as- pect of Spanish painting will be taken up, the development of the State portrait from the time of its introduction by the Flemish Sir Anthony Mor. The course in Aesthetics will be intro- duced, Miss Parkhurst explained to a “News” reporter, by a short historical discussion of the main types of aesthetic problems and certain of the more impor- tant types of solution. The aesthetic emotions relation to their character- 8 the beautiful, the comic, brought into relation with other products of emotional impulses, magic, ritual and mysticism. At some length the formal principles, symmetry, repetition and cli- max will be applied to the arts, and at the end space and time will be treated of as the two great elements of composi- tion.
