PETTY, EXPERIENCED SLU WORKER URGES BROTHERHOOD Justice, Not Philanthropy, Can Make Social Readjustments “What does:it méan to be a'Christian?” asked Dr. Ray Petty in chapel last Sun- day night. Dr. Petty is Pastor of the Judson Memorial Church, _New York City, ; “The modern Christian needs to be something more inclusive than a mere individualist, liberalist, creedalist or mor- alist. It is not enough to live by the old golden rule of doing to another as you want them to do unto you, for many people want things done to thent which are not Christian. “Most matters of importance we turn over to specialists. Who is the expert in Christianity? Not “the bishop, the priest—but Jesus. ‘If any man wills to come. after me, let him take up his cross and follow me.’ : “We believe: in trying out hypotheses in laboratories. The only way to tell if Christianity can remedy the social mal- adjustment is to try it out as it has neve yet been tried out. Either Christianity has infinitely more in it than we have yet discovered, or Christianity is not ade- quate, Religion has played too much with sentiment. We have cheapened our re- ligion with clap-trap evangelism. Jesus did not come to organize a sham battle or a holiday. “He stands for justice and brotherhood, not philanthropy. It isn’t enough to cure a baby of rickets, if you send it back to the same crowded three-room tenement opening upon an air shaft. It ign’t enough - for a skilled dietician to reorganize a poor fanfily’s food budget if you let the in- dustrial system remain so cruel and soul- less. ° “Brotherhood is the thing. We sing it in Our songs and use it in our poems and the only thing wrong with it is that. we . 8 don’t believe it. Some day our states- men may be Christians, Then we will have peace.” VARSITY PLAY PY ox : "4" CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 supposed. He achieved real dignity in the moment of the unveiling of Lady Teazle— this “Lady Teazle, by all that’s damnable” being rendered eloquently in voice and ges- ture. Charles and Maria, played by Miss Swift and Miss Adams, were admirably cast. Particularly noticeable in this fortu- nate pair was the beauty and grace of their voices and. reading of their lines. Charles’ great moments were those in which he begs “little Premium” to see that his ancestral portraits ‘are genteely conveyed from their old home—“for most of them, I assure you, were used to ride in their own carriages ;” in which he toasts these same portraiss ; finally in which he closes the play with one of those periods so dear to the shearts of the old school in drdéma. He was essentially the younger brother of fairyland—happy in temper, fortunate in love, gallant in bear- ing. Miss Adams’ Maria was done with much charm and subtlety. Here indeed was the. perfect jeune-fille—who can be the most tireséme of creatures, who in these able hands became. instinct with sophisti- cated simplicity. Around these couples the rest of the cast made a particularly fortunate group. Sir Oliver was played in. the farcical man- ner, and in that manner was excellent. Moses, the Jew, and Sir Harry Bumper achieved with their slight parts a geniine response from-the audience. Careless gave his famous song with spirit and charm, and contributed greatly to what was really a very effective drinking-scene. It is in the skill with which parts. like Mrs, Candour’s and Crabtree’s were taken that one realizes the tremendous advantage Varsity Dra- matics have over class plays. cue—“with pistols, nephew, with pistols !”— Crabtree’s came off with professional effect, and his evidence on the’ question of Sir Peter’s duel .

The, insidious Snake, to whom is allotted the unenviable task of starting the play and giving the audience all the neces- sary information, was skillfully played by Miss Ling. ‘ It remains to discuss ‘three of the very interesting interpretations of the evening— those of Lady Sneerwell, Sir Benjamin Backbite, and Joseph Surface. Lady Sneer- well one cannot. praise unreservedly, ‘for when one considers her in relation to the rest of the cast, in relation to the School for Scandal,, as of course one thust: con- sider her, she seems to have been done in too sombre a key. She belonged, as inter- preted by Miss Grayson, not to comedy, but to tragedy. And yet this Lady Sneerwell was certainly developed accurately and ab- solutely from Sheridan’s: own words. She was malicious, yes, but, above all, anxious. Here we had a strangely harrowed Lady Sneerwell, whose gestures,whose eyes were full of suffering. Sir Benjamin, as acted by Miss Morse, was oneyof ‘the most able performances of the play. A true exquisite in bearing. and manner, this Sir Benjamin, with just enough ineffable silliness in his delivery of his own epigram, just enough ineffable malice in his description of the lady, “whose head is modern, while. the trunk’s antique.” Finally Joseph Surface, perhapg¢ the most challenging of the rdles of the School for Scandal, was played in a truly accomplished manner by Miss Lomas, The flexibility of voice, gesture, facial play, brought to this part was particularly notice- able. We shall remember for a long while the Joseph of this production—Joseph mask- ing with his hand the cruel smile as he goes noiselessly to, join the ladies at cards— arrogantly crossing for his final ‘exit, un- abashed in his defeat, still the courtly, the perfect hypocrite.
