MISS DYER IS PRAISED

 

Although “The Enchanted April,”

_ being by Kane Campbell, is not so en-
~~tirely~the result of home brewing as the

three one-act plays which preceded its
production in the Varsity Dramatics sea-

son, nevertheless, as presented on Sa atur= |
day nighe it proves to be very good en-

tertainment.- The situation is, of course,
an old one, by means of which the char-
acters.are brought into~contact with each
other for the change in their destinies,
being virtually that of a house-party, used
to much advantage in “The Last of Mrs.
Cheyney” and “The Truth Game;” the
fact that, as in the present case, the house
has been rented by the party, as a com-
mon retreat from individual care, alters
the device but: little.

It was in this portrayal of her cares
that Miss Grant’s interpretation of Lag

“was entirely -as-a-spoilt; diriuatinn-visiiiig:

“member of the aristocracy’ who is so
bored by her mother’s attempts to marry
her off that she welcomes ‘the oppor-
tunity to escape even. with total strangers
quite outside her class, and refuses at
first to acknowledge sincerity even when
she finds it. Miss Grant’s interpretation,
however, ‘especially in the emotional
scenes, as with Briggs—concerning the
portrait, savoured too much of the petu-
lant child, and not enough of the mature
young lady, who, as a result of her ex-
periences, has so depth of motive in
suspecting all professions of love.

Miss Putnam was not forceful enough
as the neglected but adoring Rose Ar-
buthnot, whose refinement turns into
prudishness where it comes into contact
with her. husband’s popular novels: She
did, however, give great charm to the
part, which at all events called for so
little forcefulness that Mrs. Fisher, that
terrifying grande dame of London society,
was not roused by Rose; to whom, in
theory, at least, she must have objected, if
for no other reason than that she was of
another generation. Miss Dodge as Mrs.
Fisher (William) had another oppor-

-tunity to display her gift for comedy;

Miss Dodge was as amusing and convinc-
ing.in her portrayal of the old lady, who
nevertheless cannot resist the humanizing
warmth of the “Enchanted April,” as she
was in the slightly different delineation
” She was
at her best in those moments of defensive
dignity, and as when, being unable to un-
derstand the maid, admirably portrayed
by, Miss Waples, she remarks, “I speak
only the Italian of Dante.”

The best performance of the evening,
however, was given by Miss Drake,
whose part, of course, admitted more
subtlety than that of Miss Dodge. Never
once did Miss Drake seem other than
Lottie Wilkins, the- middle-class wife—of
Mellersh Wilkins, solicitor, with all her
bubbling naivete, optimism and psychic
intuitions. ° She too showed a fine sense
for comedy, and, if anything, even added
to the humor of such lines as: “It (the
castle) has all the modern improvements’
—electric. lights, and battle and
things.” Miss Drake seemed sq com-

Madame .Edib... This change has no
parallel; it is not the outcome of a
struggle of a class for its rights; but
of gradual reform, and is more eco-
nomic than intellectual in character.
Islam is not only a religion; it is a
system of life in which every individual
is accountable for his every action directly
to the one God... Before the .advent
of Mohammed, Arab civilization..had
reached a low ebb; polygamy was rife;
women had no rights whatsoever; and
a new moral sefse was needed. This

tion of Islamic religion. Women’s
position was much improved, although
the existing marriage laws constituted
an, obstacle in the path of further ad-
vaficement; polygamy was still
licensed; divorce was much easier for
the man than for the woman; and the
custom of seclusion had been adopted
from the Persians, The Turks did not
take over this civilization until two cen-
turies after they first came into con-
tact with it.

‘When requested to give an inter-
view. to the News, Madame Edib’s
reply was, “Fire away.” Madame
Edib, whom many of us visualized as
an oriental smothered in veils, is on
the contrary an extremely cosmopoli-
tan person.. Shé has traveled exten-
sively, speaks four languages fluently,
and. her views are characterized by a
liberalism: that can come only from
wide experience in many fields.

Our reporter refrained carefully from
asking Madame Edib “her opinion of
America,” but she volunteered the in-
formation. The American audience is,
in Mme. Edib’s opinion, a’ great stimu-
lus to a lecturer, Numerous as its
vices may be, it can never be accused
of inattention. Quick to register dis-
approval, it is equally prompt in mani-
fésting its appreciation. “One feels
that, while one-may thot be approved
of, one is at least heard,” declared
Mme: Edib.. However, the quality in
American audiences which she particu-
larly enjoys is “their heckling.” ‘I sel-
dom enjoy myself as much as'..when
I am being heckled,” was her commeni.
This is, to say the least, rather an un-

usual. attitude for a lecturer to take
and only goes to: illustrate the toler-

jance and good humor of “Turkey's
|foremost woman.’

When questioned as to her views on
co-education Mme. Edib replied that
while its advisability in preparatory
schools and colleges might be ques-

tors at tea which will follow the cere-
monies.__A tribute to. Miss Addams from

CONTINUED WHITE. DOMINATION THREATENED

 

A splendid conference poorly attended
was that on the Economic Status of
Negroes in Goodhart last Saturday, April
25. Less than a dozen Bryn Mawr stu-
dents were present at-any gne time. In
addition to the B ryn Mawr. studgnts dele-.
“attended from Vassar, Johns
Hopkins, Swarthmore, George Washing-
ton, Howard University and Cheney
Normal School. A number’ of the col-
lege maids came: As a result of the
conferehce the Liberal Club has a deficit
of forty odd dollars.

The speakers, all but one of whom
were _Negro,-included a number of the
most. Outstanding Negro’ intellectuals in
the country. Their speeches stressed the
inequality of opportunity for the Negro

industry, politics, prestige,
living. They suggested
political and industrial remedies. Some

of them expressed their belief in the ulti-
mate triumph of colored races over Ww hite.

‘The conference was divided into three
sessions. Professor Patterson, of the
University of Pennsylvania, presided at
the morning session (10-12:30) which
was concerned with the subject of\Eco-
nomic Conditions of the Negro in Amer-
ica. The speakers were Walter White,
Secretary of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People;
Alain Locke, of the Department ‘of
Philosophy of Howard University, and
Ira Reid, Director of the Research De-
partment of the National Urban League.

The subject of the afternoon session
(2-4) at which Miss M. P. Smith, of the
Department of Sociology at Bryn Mawr
presided, was The Negro and— Labor.

Whitaker’s First Revue
* Wins Crowd’s Applause

 

Tuesday night, April 21, in the gym-
nasium, the College had an entertain-
ment which we might call “something
new and different,” if the expression
were not too trite and inadequate to
apply to such a rip-snorting, synco-
pated song-and-dance revue. as John
Whitaker’s ‘Ravin’ Rhapsodie.” ;

The “Alabama Blue Blowers,” the
orchestra “with the Southern’ Soul,”
led by Dave Brown, was unique in its
composition, including, as, it did, not
only a piano with Jethro “Jelly-roll”
Whitaker at the keys, two saxophones
and a banjo, but also an innovation in
the line of drum and cymbals,. namely,
a washboard, pie-plate and frying pan
struck by thimble-fingered Walt, and
what we think must have been a tin
can.with a funnel, blown by Bassoe.
They “opened the program with
“Dinah” and.“I. Want a Little Girl”
Then the —“Melodee Four”- of W.
Johnson, A. Jenkens, William John-
son, and O. Stanley, who, by the way,
may be heard over the radio station
N. B. C. from the Walton Roof, of-
fered “Mammy,” “You're the One I
Care For,” and “Gonna Have a Happy

| Time,” -with all the verve and snappy

syncopation one could desire, with
some boop-boop-a-doops and hot’cha’s
thrown in for good measure.

This was followed by the orchestra,
now playing “Bye Bye Blues” and
“Old Man Blues.” |The dancing team
of John and Jelly- -roll Whitaker ‘to

Comnittee of the Society of Friends, and
Philip Randolph,- of the Brotherhood of
Pullman Car’ Porters, spoke. The most

Mr. Walter White

Although the race problem in Amer-
ica is largely economic, it has other
cultural, social, educational
and political: It.was not until the slave
trade that the idea arose, especially in
England and the United States, that
the white race is superior to the black.
To protect profits, scientific thought at
that time was prostituted., The idea
of white. superiority yo continued
along -with the canal ian of black
labor. Recent attempts have beer

aspects,

ferior one in order that there may be
an excuse for giving Negro children
less education than is given to white.

Many think that lynching ot Negroes
results only from the: dssault of white
women. In less thari.twenty per cent,
of lynchings is this the case. Lynch-
ing is a means of terrorizing the Negro,
of “keeping him in his place.” It has
grown along with the use of the cotton
gin, and with the industrial Revolution.
Before the. Civil War lynching was
rarer\than it is now because Negroes
had a cash value:

In the South the Negro is” disfran-
chised by various devices. He is de-
prived of opportunity for education by
the apportionment of school funds.
Where thirty dollars is allowed for a
white child, a, little over’ one dollar is
provided for a black. As the marginal

The Negro problem must be. studied
both as an intra-racial and a national
problem, ° Until the \problem is. intelli-
gently discussed, there .can be no free-
dom for labor here or\ anywhere.

Mr. ira Reid
The criteria for an accepted eco-

nomic ‘status are accumulation _ of
wealth, standards of ‘living, political
activity, cultural contributions and

It is irritating to hear, as one often
does, of the great progress of the
Negro in the last sixty years when so
much greater-progress is necessary. A
few Negroes have wealth but a Ford
could buy up the group. Standards of
living are very low. The death rate is
higher than, the high birth rate.
Negroes are forced to live in areas of
deterioration. In education the doors

closed. As the least stable group of
society, Negroes are hardest hit by de-
pression. White workers force him

out of even “Negro jobs.”

The -industrial schools for ‘Negroes
are out/of date.. They do not teach
the problems of modern industrial. so-
ciety. Educators are unwilling to take
Negroes all the way. The larger tech-
nical schools exclude Negroes. Those
Negroes who have been educated by
philanthropists cannot be provided with
the jobs for which they are fitted.

: Liberty and Pride .
Major revisions of many antiquated.systems in Bryn Mawr life
have been: accomplished during the past year. With such violent erup-
tions upsetting our daily calm, minor changes have crept in almost
unnoticed. The recent action of the Cut Committee has passed so much
of its life without audible comment it may be commended as a step in
the right direction, but almost nothing can be said for its consistency.
Those students’who are taking Honors do not have their cuts. counted
in any of their classes. We suppose that they are allowed this privilege
because they have proved their interest in one fiéld at least by specializing
in it. a
Such-a provision fails to take account of those students, who, given
the opportunity to take Honors, have chosen to. widen rather than narrow
their field-of-work.—-Other-students-who,.though they are_not onthe.
official Honor list, have shown their interest in college work by consist-
ent application also feel the restrictions imposed by the narrowly-limited
cut system. There is, no doubt, much to be said by its advocates: human
nature being fallible, how are we to be sure that classrooms won't be
periodically empty? This view completely ignores the premise that the
large majority of students are at college for the definite purpose of
getting an education, - Many. of them will prefer to take it in the, way
in which it is offered—a regular, suré’ method. Others are conscious

 

of being hampered by the necessity of attending every scheduled class | |

with the exception of from ten to thirteen in nearly four months. Often
important and concentrated mental activity is interrupted. At times
students who are not feeling well but have no infirmary symptoms drag
themselves to classes, out of which they get nothing, because of the
inelasticity of their cut allowance. :

Bryn Mawr has always prided itself on its insistence on intéllectual
and physical liberty for-its-students... The-cut_ruling_is_a violation of
both principles. Students will never be able to prove their real interest
in what they are doing until they are given a chance to prove it of their
own volition. Possession of her Merits should be used as an indication
that a girl is capable of judging her own intellectual desires ang needs.
Where she misjudges them, she will fall below requirements and lose her
cutting privilege. Practical considerations of human capabilities and
the elusive but powerful factor of intellectual pride will effectually pre-
vent abuse in most cases. The exceptional people, who might take
advantage of the chances for extended week-ends, will not be a great
loss to their classrooms.

P
: Goodhart Neglected

_ The question of what. interests students at Bryn Mawr has arisen
in various forms for many years. It has always been based, however,
~.on the assumption that they were interested in something. This year the
question again presents itseli—in the form of a problem. Do Bryn
Mawr students want anything which the college has to offer outside of
their class work? It is clear that there are certain groups which are
interested in ‘such extra-curricular activities as athletics, dramatics, or
literary work. It is not at all clear that any of these groups, or the
college as a whole, desire“anything more from college life.

In the past year Bryn Mawr has been exceptionally fortunate in
getting brilliant and unusual lecturers and artists for performances in
Goodhart Hall. Almost every field of intellectual or artistic importance
has been presented by an acknowledged expert. Although all. these
programs have been brought to college because of the obvious advantage
to the students, students’ have shown little appreciation of their oppor-
tunities. In. almost every case the great fnajority of the audience has
been made up of outsiders. Where this rule has not held, the reasons
for student response have been fairly apparent. In the’ case of Mary
Wigman, seats were cheaper than-in New York for a dancer whom all
sophisticated people were expected to see. The motives of many of the
large college group who heard Professor Laski are even more suspect.

The problem to be faced is whether Bryn Mawr students want
anything to be given in Goodhart. Because of lack of support’ the
Musical Series has been discontinued. This will be a very real loss to
many. If student response to other entertainments ‘is as sporadic as it
has been this year, those too will have fo be discontinued. This inertia
toward good things which are to be obtained with’no effort, may be

&

another symptom of woman’s valiantly defended independence and desire

to retain her individuality. If so, her negative efforts would seem to be

 

misdirected. It is for the student body to decide whether it prefers to.

go elsewhere for its extra-curricular intellectual life or whether it will

has done very well by himself. We
flatter ourself (and our successor more
particularly) that he always has been
able to do-himself-pretty well...
Though considering what a hard mas-
ter he is, we still wear that faint look
of surprise as tribute to his past and
present successes. But far be it from
us, now long defunct, to venture any
criticism of our erstwhile mate; after
all, a husband is‘a husband, and “‘it’s

Since the visit of royalty to the
campus the question of the true de-
nomination of the pink-blossomed

been raised. “But we do want to
point out our Japanese cherry~-+tree.”
Ah! but are they? Several sugges-
tions have been advanced: “T’sa Judas

our backyard. ’Tis’nalmond!’s “ ’Sneither,

pretty. wn

And apropos: of the excitement over
royalty we want to tell somebody that
we fell in love with the Roxy usher.

The royal Japanese honeymooners,
Prince Takamatsu and his bride, made
Bryn Mawr one of their stopping points

interesting places around Philadelphia.

The campus was the scene of wild ex-
citement before the royal call. The grass
around Senior Steps waived inviolability,
and the protecting posts before Pem-
broke Arch were spirited away in honor
of the great event. The official cars and
motercycles took the corner into the drive
in great style and drew up with a flourish
before Taylor. Mrs. Yanning was yait-
ing to welcome the royal couple as they
stepped from the car; and Elizabeth Baer,
as president of ’31,- presented the bride
with a bouquet of yellow roses and white
lilacs, tied with yellow and white ribbons.
Mrs. Manning then presented Miss Shiza
Nakamura, who is now at the Kirk
School, and expects to enter Bryn Mawr
next year.

After the dean had spokef with the vis-
itors for a moment and pointed out the
Bryn Mawr cherry blossoms, the young
couple prepared to depart to the accom-
paniment of a Greek cheer by the very
large, very interested gallery. The cars
once more started up, and the Japanese
Lescorts and the motorcycle policemen
waved goodbye. The posts have returned
—to keep vigil over Pembroke drive until
Bryn Mawr plays hostess again.

 

Interview With
Japanese Student

 

~ Miss Shiza Nakamura, who greeted
the Prince and Princess of Japan on
Wedtiesday, is preparing for Bryn
Mawr College at the Misses Kirk
School in. Bryn Mawr. Miss Naka-
mura ‘was very much. distressed be-

Times wrote that she courtesied to the
Prince and not that she bowed. accord-
ing.to. the custom of her country. Al-
though she had marched before their
Royal -Highnesses with her school in
Japan, Miss Nakamura had never ac-
tually greeted them, a chance which
only. few: have. The dress which she
wore is--the--veryformal--one--of the
students as they appear pefore the
Emperor in Japan.

Tsuda. College, from which Miss
Nakamura graduated in Japan, was
founded by a former Bryn Mawr stu-
dent, Ume Tsuda, and the ‘present head,
Ai Hoshino, is a graduate of Bryn
Mawr. Miss Nakamura does not find
her studies now, although entirely in
English, any harder than those she
completed in Japan. Their curriculum
is much like ours except that there are
no sciences. ‘Tsuda College is con-
sidered very large since it has four
hundred, students. Before the earth-
quake the .college had dormitories as
well as class. buildings, but the quake
reduced them all to ashes. They are
planning now to move into the suburbs
of Tokio,’ to the financing of which
many Americans have contributed.
Only the men’s colleges in Japan have
intercollegiate athletics, although the
girls have much the same sports as we
have. Miss Nakamura has found the
greatest difference in American schools
the repeated mention of boys. There
are absolutely no co-ed colleges in
Japan; in fact, the Japanese girls know
no boys.

Miss Nakamura expects to attend a
summer camp and enter Bryn /Mawr
in the fall. She is particularly inter-
ested in. sociology and perhaps shall
teach on her return tO Japan, although
that is too far in the future, she says,

‘for her to dé@ide. Her father is the re-

search department of His Imperial

University in Tokio and ‘she expects

A
Lucian’s Classic Satire
Has Serious Motive

 

Dr. Paul Shorey, professor in Greek
at Bryn Mawr College from 1885 -to
1892, and now head of the Greek de-
~partment at the University of Chicago,
lectured on Lucian Friday, April 24.
The object of his study was to give
some preliminary notion of the kind
of entertainment that students will find
in this author.

Lucian is the unique example of the
production of° first-rate literature in
what was for ‘him virtually a learned
language acquired from books, The
classicism of his manner heightens by

piquant contrast the effect of the real-

ism and modernity of his matter. His
originality lies in the portrayal and
satire. of. the fume, the din and opu-
‘lence of the world’s capitol and the
academic peace and still air of Athens,
presented by the Greco-Roman Empire
at the culmination of its picturesque-
ness in the century ‘that preceded its
decline and fall.

Cervantes laughed Spain’s chivalry
away, and Lucian is sometimes thought
to have performed the same office for
the-gods—of-Greece. This free think- |
ing, however, comes even from Homer.
In. themselves, then,-Lucian’s dialogues
of the gods need not be more than a
continuance of this tradition, the exer-
cise of this conventional and accepted
license. The fun is more obvious in
some of the longer ones based on the
Homeric councils or assemblies of the
gods.

Lucian’s readiness to make a butt of
the philosophers is apparent, but the
seriousness beyond—the main motive
to his satire—is the ‘charge that they
do not live up to their professions,
Following the greatest humorist the
victims_of_his_satire_are_totally—uncon--|
scious of what is grossly apparent to
everyone else.

The mien’s parts in the play were well

his good-natured tolerance of “these

tHe most comic scéne in the play was that
in which Mellersh, very effectively played
by Mr. Ammerman, orders a “bag-no”

bath-towel and a cloud of steam. We

The set for the prologue, down to the

a fine contrast in atmosphere to that for

Mme. Edib’s reply to:/our question
about .her feeling toward our humble

The qualignot Madanie Eaib which
most impressedus was her modesty.
When confronted-by the remark that
she had been described as “poet, ora-
tor, and. Jean d’Arc of Turkey” her
firét reaction. was one of amusement.
“IT am not a poet;.I couldn’t write
verse to save my life,” she said..: Mme.
Edib admitted that she had had some
experience in the field of prose, but
poetry? - Emphatically “No! I do not
care much for poetry in its proper
sense of the word,” she said, “but I
love doggerel.” As to her abilities as

desire further proof of her excellence.
And as. to being the Jean d’Arc of
Turkey, Mme. Edib’s ‘reply ~ was,

And then, just as we were gather-
ing together our courage to ask her
opinion on Bryn Mawr, Mme. Edib:

good, for that matter) on Broadway
in some time.

After this the ““Melodee Four” again
appeared, to sing “Gypsy Sweetheart”
and a_ spiritual to the effect that
“We're goin’ home to Héaven, because
we want to join that band.” John
Whitaker, Denbigh’s porter, gave his
own interpretation of a snake dance
to “The New. Lowdown.” It’s not
merely local pride that words fail. us.
The audience burst into delighted
howls, as John, blue-shirted and with a
red and blue sash about his waist,
wreathed and writhed, shimmying,
twisting, and pantofniming with: uns
paralleled zeal.

The classic “St. Louis Blues” and
“St. James Infirmary” were rendered
next by the orchestra with all the ap-
propriate moans and wails for the

 

“baby” who “was stretched out on that | 4

table, so cold, so calm, so fair.” Wash-
board Walt, Dave of the slippery feet,
and Jelly-roll each tapped the boards,
and the Melodee Four sang “Memo-
ries of You” with such effect that they
were forced to. respond to cries -of
“More! More!” with “Them There

“Tiger Rag,” intended as a grand
finale, created’ such a stir that it was
“Tl See You in My Dreams” which
finally closed the program.

In the seventeenth century came a reac-

The humiliating defeat of 1744
caused the Turks to realize the back-
ward eondition of their civilization.
After the French Revolution of 1830
they entered upon a process of gradual
Westernization. During the next half
century, often referred to as'the Turk-
ish Renaissance, a great influence was
exerted upon the civilization of the
Edst by the French, and especially by
the philosopher poets. During’ the period
1830-1876 schools for girls of the higher

Turkey was left with a disturbing
ture of old and new.
In 1907 he was deposed, and a Par-

government — established.
From this time on all parties united to
advance the position of women. Many
schools’ were openéd, and by 1918
women were admitted to universities.
The defeat of Turkey in the Balkan
war of 1913 stimulated women to take an
active part in the government of their
country. During the World War a
great part of the burden of administer-
ing the government and maintaining
the industries of the country fell upon
the Turkish women.

In 1920 the Turkish republic was
founded, for .both the men’ and the
women realized that the old order had
decayed beyond repair. The women
played an important part in the strug-
gle of the new state for survival and
recognition. . In 1922 the Lausanne
Conference recognized. the Turkish Re-
public, and the country entered upon
a period of peace and: prosperity.

During. the past. ten years educa-
tional equality has been established be-
