Enterprise of Martial Kind.” probably “responsible, not only for the loss of the melody in seweral”songs, but for the aspect of the singing most open to .criticism: the weakness of the en’s voices. 5 Of the principals, Miss Thayer, as ( Casilda, was perhaps ‘the most com- pletely adequate in her part. Her voice, easily the finest in the cast, was used to advantage in both her solo and .group singing, but especially in the duet with Luiz, “There Was a Time Forever Gone.” She’ looked lovely, and her act- ing, while a trifle stiff in places, was- -de- finitely convincing. Opposite to her, Miss Claire Parker played a charming Luiz, gallant to the last degree}.both as Suite to the Duke and as her th\arted tover. While not sfrong, Miss Parker’s voice was true and pleasing in quality, and blended well with Miss Thayer’s in their duet. Duke and Duchess Good. Miss Adams, as the Duke of Plaza- Toro, although—as has already been in- dicated—by no means perfect in her art, gave a creditable performance. Her interpretation of the character was re- strained, but she succeeded in making it live. Her facial expressions, notably during the Duchess’ solo, were particu- larly good; and in her last scene where * the Duke gives lessons in manners to the gondolier kings, one felt her a courtier to the manner born. Miss Chan- ning as the Duchess, while not striking —except in appearance—and perhaps a little too stiff and solemn, broke through her solemnity effectively in her “progeni- tor” solo, which she sang’ both clearly and amusingly. Miss Amram’s make-up, her figure, her wicked eye and quizzical smile, com- bined to make her a pleasing Grand In- quisitor. Her voice, held in check by the low range of her songs, hardly had an opportunity to show its quality; but her acting, especially on Saturday night, took real advantage of the possibilities of the part. Two better-matched or more attrac- tive gondolieri than Miss Eleanor Parker and Miss Merrill it would be hard to imagine. From the time when their handsome heads first appeared above the realistically-moving row of a stage gon- dola, the audience was captivated by them. Whether love-making or announc- ing their democratic principles or setting side by Side. on the throne, they looked charming enough to earn their bread and cheese by. their appearance alone. Their acting was possibly at moments a little stereotyped, and, except in their respec- tive solos, both of which were rendered effectively, their. voices were in their boots. And Miss Parker was perhaps more han- dicapped than anyoffe by the low range ; of her songs, for in “Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes,’ which is pitched un- usually high, her voice was lovely, hay- ing marked quality and depth of feel- ing. Miss Sullivan and Miss Humphreys, } as Gianetta and Tersa, played their parts, the one with a contagious happiness,: the other with a simple naivete that were very pleasing. Miss Sullivan’s voice, while not entirely under control, had dis- tiact probabilities. Although Miss Hum- phreys had a poorer voice than should -be “found among the principals of a glee club, someltow the ‘audience forgot that fact. The four lovers were shown off to best advantage in their quartet, “In a Contemplative Fashion.” The principals were ably backed by a chorus which looked delightful, . and which after it got warmed up, sang with spirit and sureness, managing with deft- ness its large numbers on the small stage.. ‘One remembers with pleasure Miss Win- chester’s and Miss Coss’ too short songs: Miss Field’s sleck head and contagious smile, and Miss Slingluff’s brief inter- lude of genuine comedy, It would be difficult for a Jayman to praise ‘adequately the dancing of the}. -Cachuea by Miss Glover and Miss.

The costumes of the principals were also out-of-the- ordinary, although one regretted no dis- tinction, made between the clothes oi Tessa and Gianetta and the rather unin- teresting costumes of the girls’ chorus. Most effective, however, were Casilda’s two costumes, especially the white dress with its painted panel; the striking liv- eries of the retainers in the second act; and the symmetrical colorfulness of the gondolier kings. must be For many reasons we cannot but be sad that the Glee Club performance is over. .Perhaps our regret, however, .is caused by the information that Miss Mer- rill and Miss Parker really do not look at all alike, and that since one is a senior. and the other a freshman, there is small chance of our seeing them ‘together on the campus!

Many people make the mistake of thinking that working with mental cases i depressing; it is really encourag- ing, because of the great ‘good that: is accomplished. The people who are in the profession today are hardly trained -at all, so that a womay, entering the -field with proper training, can do almost. anything she wishes. There are four main divisions of the field: psychology, psychiatry, psychiatric social work, and teaching. The first re- quires .the, greatest training, an M. A. degree, and one to three years experi- ence. For the other three, a college de- gree and some concentrated graduate work are necessary. These branches», of mental work -are becoming increasingly important, in courts, itt institutions, and in Welfare Leagues, and there is no work that is of greater value to humanity as a whole. —_ : UNIVERSITY TOURS ) EUROPE nt 39507 eee se it TAENCH, GERMLAS SHANI ety sen Local Representative Wanted SCHOOL OP FOREIGN TRAVEL 90 BAST 40™ ST- NEWYORK CITY oe and traditions of the Siam make it the most significant Its variety adeune it to the infinite ' Powers & Reynolds | H.
