z Novel Monologues

 

Evolution of American Acting
. Traced by Impersonations
of Noted Stars

 

ROLES ARE AUTHENTIC

 

Miss Dorothy Sands’ presentation
of a series of monologues entitled Our
Stage and Stars, in Goodhart Hall
last Wednesday night, was a highly
expert and entertaining study in the
development in styles of American
acting since 1787. Miss Sands has
a knowledge of the technique and sub-
tleties of acting that is rarely found
_in modern actresses. To say that in
her period roles, her every movement
and gesture were in period is mere-
ly to scratch the surface of her fin-
ished performance.

She has spent years studying the
way. people walked, talked, .. moved,
gesticulated, and managed their
clothes in different periods; what they
read, thought, and talked about, and
how they lived, ‘with the result that
she is never a modern actress in per-

. iod costume, but always an actress of

the 1780’s or 1860’s or early 1900’s,
moving’ about and talking on the
stage.

Before every impersonation, Miss
Sands appeared in her own character
to describe the play from which the
next scene was taken, and to set the
tone of the period by describing the
audience which attended the play. Her
first scene was laid on April 16, 1787,
at the John Street Theatre. “Mr.
and Mrs. Van Rensselaer have come
to take the seats which their colored
servants have been holding for them
since early in the day; it is near six,
time for the play to begin. The men
are wearing bright-colored satin
coats, the women powdered wigs and
stiff hoop-skirted dresses. Peanut-
vendors are crying their wares in
the gallery; harpsichords and fiddles
are being played in the pit. Smoke
from the candles in the ceiling chan-
deliers -and from the candle foot-
lights fills the house. The play is the
first American comedy, ‘A Moral in
5 Parts: The Contrast,’ by Royal Ti-
tus. The contrast is between the fri-
volity and affectation of the British,
and the honest sturdiness of the
Americans.”

Miss Sands played the part of
Charlotte, “the first American flap-
per, filled with English affectations,”
talking to her friend, Letitia, a debu-

Miss Margaret Trumbell Corwin,
Bryn Mawr, ’12, present executive
secretary of the Yale University
Graduate School, was appointed Dean
of the New Jersey College for Wom-
en last week, to succeed the late Mrs.
Mabel Smith Douglass. Since N. J.C.

ys a part of Rutgers University, as

Barnard is of Columbia, Miss Corwin
will be virtual head of the women’s
section, which was founded in 1918,
and has since developed into one of
the largest women’s colleges in the
country. ~ ¢

After graduating from Bryn Mawr,
Miss Corwin worked for four years
. with the Yale University Press. Dur-
ing the war, she served as executive
secretary of the Connecticut Wom-

—-en’s Committée_of the-Couneil-of Naw

Wellesley College Admits
Male Co-Ed from Turkey

 

After fifty-eight years as an ex-
clusively female institution, Wellesley
College has let down its bars to men
and enrolled one lone male among its
1,500 students. ae

co-education is Apostolos Athannais-
siou, of Constantinople, Turkey. He
came to America in order to study
color and drawing with Dr. Alexan-
der Campbell, associate professor of
art at Wellesley. He will become the
latter’s assistant on an archeological
expedition which is leaving for An-
tioch next month. Athannassiou is
twenty-five years old. He speaks sev-
en languages fluently and graduated
in 1932-from the Robert American
College in Constantinople

The Boston Herald quotes him as
saying: “I find Wellesley College the
ideal place to study. My work keeps
me so busy that it makes no dif-
ference whether the other students
are men or women.

“Wellesley girls are, well—pretty
cute is the expression, I think, but
I’m much too busy to bother them at
tis I have only one criticism
to make of them, and this applies to
all the American young women I
have~ met, as well as the Wellesley
College students — they smoke too
much. It ruins their health, and the
odor of cigarette smoke about them
is unpleasant. They seem to be very
democratic and they get along well
with one another. That is, they are
not at all what you call catty, but
they are friendly and helpful. Any
young man would fare well as a stu-
dent at Wellesley College if he had
work to do that took up most of his
time, and did not. let the presence
of so many women bother him.”

According to’ the newspaper  ac-
count, “Nick’s enrollment as a stu-
dent at Wellesley came about as the
result of a vacation trip to the east,
during which he met W. Alexander
Campbell, associate professor of art
at Wellesley College, at Antioch. As
a boy, Nick mingled with the cosmo-
politan crowds of the Eastern cities
of Constantinople and Scutari, swim-
ming the Bosphorus for pleasure, and
unconsciously acquiring a knowledge
of languages and dialects from the
races around him. At an age when
most American college graduates are
forgetting a shaky smattering of Ger-
man, Nick was able to speak Greek,
Turkish, English, Armenian, German
and French fluently. -In the United
States he has acquired two more
tongues—Arabic and American.

“Nick likes America and Ameri-
cans and-calls the United States the
“Encyclopedia of the world,’ because
its citizens represent such a conglom-
eration of nationalities.
like -Americans— because they — mind
their own business.’ ”’

 

Addendum

Since the News ran its article con-

holidays, it has been discovered that
Dr. Cadbury attended the. National

which. was held in New York, and
the meeting of the Society.of Biblical
Literature and Exegesis, which was
also-held in New York. At the for-
mer, Dr. Cadbury spoke on “How To
Teach the Synoptic Gospels,” and at
the latter he presented two papers,
“The Roman Road Through the Beth-
horons,” which was illustrated, and
“The Macellum in Corinth.” Dr. Cad-
bury resigned as secretary of the So-
ciety of Biblical Literature and Exe-
+gesis, which office he has held" since
1916.

Significant ‘ Discoveries Made
Near Prince William Sound,
Graves Found

 

OLD BELIEFS . SURVIVE

 

“The culture of the Rokinios of
Prince William Sound is, particularly
interesting,” said. Frederica De La-
guna, in her talk at the Deanery on
Sunday afterftoon, “because they
have kept in cold storage the ancient
customs.” Here in Southwestern
Alaska, the Chugach Eskimos have
maintained the underlying, primitive
hunting culture of all Northern Eu-
rasia and Northern. America. ‘There
are Indian tribes around them, in the
interior and tothe south, and ‘there
have been influences from as far
away as the state of Washington and
British~Columbia, from Japan and
from Kamchatka, but their culture
is even more typically Eskimo than
that. of their kinsmen in the Aleu-
tian Islands.

Except for a slight mention in.
Dahl’s Survey, these people had nev-
er before been studied, and thus
from an anthropological standpoint
Dr, Burket-Smith and his expedition,
of which Miss De Laguna was a
member, were working in new terri-
tory. -The Eskimos’ religion is par-
ticularly important. Their material
culture has vanished upon contact
with white men, which dates from the
first Russian fort in 1774, and they
are nominally orthodox Greek Gath-
olics, but the old religion persists,
associated with Christianity. In this
their development has been the oppo-
site of that of the Greenland Eski-
mos, who keep the old mode of life,
but have completely lost the old re-
ligion.

Miss De taakas showed slides of

the beautiful country, the Columbia

glacier, the ‘town of. Cordova, chief
mining and~ canning center, and
others of. Chenega, a tiny village on
a very old site. There are eight
tribes in'the region of the Sound and
the natives make amusing differen-
tiations between them. The Sheep
Bay people, for instance, have stiff
whiskers from eating tallow. The
Gravena Bay people eat a great deal
of cod. fish, and it is said- that the
windows of their smoke-houses flap on
a still day, simply from the people
chewing fish inside. At Chenega the
people. are black, they explain, be-
cause they eat so many sea animals.
Miss De Laguna showed a number of
slides of Chenega, showing the houses
of the people, their holy spring, the
grave yard and their skin boats,
which all show the influence of the
Russians. The spring is_ inclosed,
blessed every two or three years and
carefully kept clean. The grave vard
shaws crosses of orthodox Greek type
with glass covered icons. The boats
are now three-seated, because Rus-
sian officials used them with two pad-
dlers. At Chenega, lives “Ma” Tiede-
mann, the Eskimo wife of a German
fisherman, She beeafme a great friend
and interpreter for the party and her
grandfather, Makari Chimowitski,
told them many significant stories
about their old beliefs.

Dean Manning Discusses
‘Plan for Comprehensives

 

Mrs. Manning spoke in Chapel,
Tuesday morning, on the subject of
the new plan for comprehensive ex-
aminations which has been proposed
by the Curriculum Committee, and is
now under. consideration by the fac-
ulty. The object of calling the stu-
dents together, was to explain more
fully the aims of this new plan, and
to urge the students to look over the
copies of the plan in each hall, and
to make any suggestions of changes
or additions to the present plan which
they think advisable to the Curricu-
lum member in each hall. The pres-
ent plan is not in its final draft, and
the Committee is eager to hear the
opinion of the student body.

The plan calls for a “comprehen-
sive exam” covering the major course
in all its branches, to be given to each
candidate for the A.B. degree with
the intention of bringing together all
the work done in the one subject in
all the different years. The adjec-
tive “final” should perhaps be substi-
tuted for “comprehensive,” for /the
exam will not attempt to be merely
a test of the student’s memory, but
will test her powers of organization
agid of applying what she has Jearned
to answer the question. An ¢xam of
this nature will be important in help-
ing a student to measure /her own
achievement. : “)

The whole progress of education at
the present time is in the direction
of finding’ an “objective/ system of
exams to test the power of present-
ing material, not to demand a mere
recitation of facts. Essay questions
will be in the majority, and there

Nazis Want Equality
in N swe Status’

 

Dr. Marx Says Hitler Proposal
for Disarmament Is Sincere
- Peace Move

ATROCITIES ARE RARE

A distinetly startled / audience
heard Dr. Marx, publicized and in-
troduced as an opponent/of the Nazi
regime, set forth his ideas on Hitler-
ism and Peace, Monday evening. Pre-
pared as they were to hear this for-
mer professor at the University of
Hamburg and Director of Public
Welfare of that city attack the_poli-
cies of the new Germany, from which
he is in voluntary exile, his de-
fense produced /an impression of pro-
found conviction.

“T feel that my task this evening
is Motdestined tobe very easy,” said
Dr. Marx, ‘as many of you identify
Hitlerism /with violence. This idea is
based on/an incorrect impression.” It
is the néwspapers that must be blam-
ed for fostering this impression cur-
rent since Khe Nazi Revolution last
March.

Dr. Marx, as a constant reader of
American publications during the
fiyst weeks of. the Nazi revolution of
March, 1933, was impressed by the
predominance of one type of story—
the tale of atrocity. “Although I be-
long to the opposite side and although
my contacts with the suppressed
group have been more numerous than
with the group in power, I have
heard not one atrocity story in Ham-
burg.” In spite of the fact that one
American news syndicate stated that
1,200 people had been killed, employ-
ment of violence has been the excep-
tion, not the rule. Acts of violence
have occurred, but such acts are in-
separable from revolution.

Usually Americans, nourished on_
their morning paper’s view of the sit-
uation, go to the other extreme after
a trip to Germany, Phere they are
treated with care and consideration,
as foreigners. Even the conscien-
tious tourist, who must get to the
bottom of things, and to this end in-

In Hepburn, Our Alma Mater Has Hatched
“Soaring Eagle,” Says Screenland Article

 

Through the ¢ourtesy of Screenland
Magazine, which has given us their
permission to/ reprint an article en-
titled, Hepbuyn’s College Days, from
their February issue, we are enabled
to pass on to Bryn Mawr the movie
world’s ideas of a Bryn-Mawr girl’s
college career and their suggestions
for a cloger rapprochement between
the colleges and the movies. After
reading the following item, we could
but ery/ “Oh, for the girlish enthus-
ism of /the class of ’28!’”’:

“One of Hepburn’s, favorite spots on
the campus. on spring evenings was
the greensward enclosed by the li-
brary cloisters where she loved to dis-
port’ herself and roll around in» the
damp grass!”

And after reading the following

degeription of Bryn Mawr’s “golden
péacock,” we heartily agreed with the
author that “there is no telling what
may happen in the faiture!”
/ “Bryn Mawr may be called the
‘high-brow’ of the women’s colleges.
Rather than going in for society, its
aim is to develop intellectual eagles
who will soar to great heights. In
Kate Hepburn Bryn Mawr has hatch-
ed a beautiful golden peacock—also
a soaring eagle, but so outside the
pattern that American women’s col-
lege have as yet set up for them-
selves, that Bryn Mawr does not ex-
‘actly know how to take it!

There has never been exactly an
entente cordiale between the motion
pictures and the women’s colleges.
But now with a college girl a tre-
mendous sensation’ on the screen,
there is no telling what may happen
in the future.” By iin

We are sure tha \ Berolzheim-

 

 

 

-er and Miss Carpenter will be inter-

ested to learn that their rooms were
privileged to provide what was de-
scribed in the captions as “two dif-
ferent views of Katherine’s college
room’”—two definitely different views,
you understand. And, according to
the article, the person to whom the
“glory”. of starting the “barelegged
fad” and of first wearing disreputable
clothes at Bryn Mawr is attributable,
has at last been traced down! Fur-
thermore, the first time your daugh-
ter cries “I want to go to Bin Mar!”
you may thenceforth suspect her of
being a genius in embryo.

“From the time she was a little
freckle-faced girl who could dive like
a duck, stand on her head and do all
sorts of awe-inspiring stunts on her
sliding trapeze in the garden—there
were two things that ‘Kate’ Hep-
burn cared for more than anything
in the world.

One was making up plays and
‘putting them on.’ When she was
twelve she staged her own idea of
‘Beauty and the Beast,’ playing the
‘big, bad wolf’ hérself with gusto,
in a ferocious-looking head she had
made with cardboard and flannel.

‘The other was some day to go to
Bryn_ Mawr College. This was her
mother’s college, and that of her aunt,

her mother’s ‘sister, now Mrs. Edith

Houghton Hooker, of Baltimore, both
of whom had been very distinguished
students. They had been at Bryn
Mawr at the chafing-dish-large-pom-
padour-and-padded-hips era of the
college girl, around the close of the
century, and were keen about college.

choice, to enable each student to write

on what has been her own particular
field. It has even been suggested that
those under examination be allowed

to use the library at the time.

An exam of this nature will have
effect on the work leading up to it
through the entire four years, and

will especially require a well-planned
and unified senior year. It has been

suggested that all seniors be exempt
from midyear exams, thus providing

 

an undistracted reading period. Sen-
iors will also be discouraged from

taking elective courses which might
be taken at another time. Long re-
ports in the last year, are also to be
discarded. -There will also be a gen-

trends of the major subject, but it
will not lead directly up to any part
of the major work. This is to broad-

to develop an initiative in going af-

EPIC IN DOGGEREL
“THE HAUNTED”
The presence of a ghost is haunting
me,
A gaunt, long, flat, white terror’s
daunting me; °
It dogs my footsteps, thrusts itself
In my way;
Its fiendish name, the “Conshohocken
Highway.”
When, smothered with learning and
famished for fun, y
I flee from the college, intending to

run
As far as the pedals will push me
upon
My trustworthy bicycle built for
one,
Whether I choose an avenue or yet
One of those highly inconsistent
streets
Like “Gulph,” “Mount. Pleasant,”

“Ithan,” “Lafayette,”

Which takes the name of everything
it meets,

I find that demon stretched across my
path, ;

I hear its hungry traffic howl to greet
me,

Headlights dilated, bumpers bared in
wrath.

It yearns to trample out my life and
eat me.

I turn in swift and cowardly retreat

Only to find that every road and

street,

Each rural path, easy mossy lane,
each byway

Leads_to_the concrete Conshohocken
Highway.

Just like a spiteful ghost, when you’ve
annoyed it,
It thwarts all human efforts to avoia
it.
A ghost, which, with my mind and
soul beset
By visions of its fierce metallic shape,
Drives me, in fevered efforts to for-
get, :
Back to the work I thought I could
escape.
I know that I shirked
When I ought to have worked,
Cast papers aside
To go for a ride.
But wherever I rode
That menacing road
«» Diverted my course
Till my Only resource,
I finally learned,
Was, alas and alack,
To turn and go back
To the books I had spurned.

The migration of America’s squir-
rels from the New England States
westward has depressed this observer
of current events. Whether one re-
gards it as the passing of empire to-
ward the setting sun or as an evi-
dence of acute economic disturbance,

the conclusions to be drawn are ter- |

rifying. When, during the early
summer months, General Hugh John-
son stepped onto the bridge of the
ship of state, everything seemed hun-
ky-dory. Civilization was safé.

Now New England, the shoe-towns
and the underwear towns, are a deso-
late wilderness, devoid of squirrels
and all they mean in the health, hap-
piness and general mental hygiene of
the citizens of the Northeastern sea-
board states. In commenting on the
situation before the Board of Sewers
and Streets of Manahassittaquogeg,
New Hampshire, Acting Alderman
Samuel Nathaniel Quigg, of Quigg’s
Hole, said—“The time has come when
the forgotten squirrel must be pro-
tected. Every day, every hours, nay,
every minute, the squirrel population
of Manahassittaquogg and this fair
state of New Hampsire is being
drained off to provide a Roman Holi-
day for the unscrupulous hunters of
Nebraska and the Dakotas. Out there
on the prairies, where the prairie
dogs formerly sported innocently un-
til they were decimated and the prai-
rie hens went about their task of lay-
ing prairie eggs in peace, out there
on the prairies, I say, lies the men-
ace to Eastern culture and civiliza-
tion.”

In answer to this, we are pleased
to note that a certain Western sena-
tor stood up and defended the. Middle
West and declared that any and all
comers among the squirrels should
have protection, police protection if
necessary. He challenge M:. Samuel
Nathaniel Quigg to show any reason
for his attack on the prairie attitude
toward squirrels except an unreason-

|ing hatred for the West and all it

stood for. “I defy you,” cried Sena-
tor Snodgra'ss, of Cheyenne-Walla,
“toa show any cause-for this attack on
the country I so proudly call my own.
For decades, man and boy, I have
kept my eye ‘on the squirrel question.
Have I ever seen any unfair discrim-
ination between squirrels of the East-
ern seaboard and the Middle West,
have I? No, and again no.”

Aimee Semple MacPherson, in an
interview with the Sob-sister of the
New York Times, expressed herself
freely. ‘Let ’em come, the cute little
squirlie-irlies, let ‘em come. Oh, I

Earl Carroll’s Vanities and, consid-

wonder what the gag is this time. We
don’t wonder very much, however.

Basketball Prospects |

- Majority of Last Year’s *Tiein

 

Available—Center Positions
Are Contested

 

SCHEDULE IS ARRANGED

 

In writing.a preview of the basket-
ball season, one always starts by
counting up the vacancies left by last
year’s graduation. In spite of the
fact that Collier was lost to the team,
Boyd has returned to take up her old
position at forward as Faeth’s run-
ning mate. Bowditch’s place at guard
will probably be filled by Bridgman,
with Kent in the other position.

Unfortunately the center seems to
haye been the hardest hit by the loss
of Remington and the probable chang-
ing back of Kent to her old post at
guard, and at the present. moment
there is great rivalry for the center
and _ side-center positions. Meirs,
Jones, Stone, Jackson and Bennett
have been trying for center, but
though fairly good on the jump, their
passing and rate of speed does not
measure up to standard and it is very
probable that Kent will have to come

back, leaving Bishop and Jarrett to}

try for her guard position. ~Roth-
ermel, second varsity side center, will
undoubtedly capture this position on
Varsity for, although her passing is
not quite so steady as it might be,
her speed, ability to get away, and
excellent defense work give her the
edge on any other possible candidate.

The second team has the usual
blessing of innumerable represehta-
tives from the freshman class, of
whom Larned and Pierce seem to be
the foremost candidates. Their un-
usually good teamwork. and accur-
acy in shooting are giving them a
good chance to make the team, or for
one to act as Baker’s partner at the
forward position, although McCor-
mick, Raynor and Taggart ‘have their
hopes set in ithe same direction. E,
Smith, Evans, E. E. Smith and Wash-
burn are competing for the guard
posts, with Jackson alternating from
the center. Stone, Meirs, Jackson,
and Jones are close,rivals in the cen-

_ ter court and it is hard to tell exact-

ly to ‘whom these positions will be
assigned,

The following is a list of the pres-
ent squad and the schedule:

its. A person who has a spirit is a
kathlalik or shaman and often has
the power of curing and miracle
working. Among the natives of: Si-
beria, this power is feared, and one
who is possessed must either become
a shaman or die, but-here it is sought
and boys and girls at the age of pub-
erty fast and seek the vision. The
shaman, like the Indian medicine
man, is associated with masks, the
tambourine drum and rattles, in his
wonder working.

The kathlalik, is analogous to a

ristian devil.
of a dead person or an animal, and
may be evil-tales are told of women
who developed cannibalistic tenden-
cies—but he is usually beneficent.
“Grandpa” told of his own experience
with one who could restore life by
blowing into the mouth of sick per-
sons. He revived a dead bird in this
way, and also saved the daughter of
the priest after visiting a mysterious
old man in the forest, who gave him
a note to the priest saying that he
would do it.

This religion is based on
ownership of everything.

spirit
There is

/no particular supreme being, although

there is an earth owner, a sun owner
and a moon owner. These spirits
are cua and there are Nunam Cua, a
woman who owns ‘land animals, and
Eman Cua, a woman who owns sea
animals. They do not mind if the
animals are killed} but are very ter-
rible if any of the numerous taboos
associated with them are violated.
Each animal also has a cua, its own-
er -or life-giving principle. When
the animal dies, the life-soul also
dies, but the cua lives. This is as-
sociated with the entrails of-fish and
the heads of animals, so these are
always thrown back into the sea or
hidden in the forest so that the spir-
its may be free.

Black Stepan, an Eskimo of Che-
nega, told the party of his own ex-
perience with Nunam Cua, the land
animal owner. His story shows that
the “dreams of a people are cultur-
ally determined.” He told how he
was awakened by her when he had
fallen asleep while hunting and how
she offered him two of the little ani-
mals which hung. all around her. He
refused them for fear of becoming a
kathlalik, but sometime afterwards he
saw her again under the same cir-
cumstances, so he took them, and he
had only to throw them on the bow
of his boat and he could catch any-
thing he wished at hunting. He lost
them in a fire, but his luck remained,
and when he saw her again she ex-
plained that it would stay and that
his children would be lucky too. He
expects to see her twice again.

This and the other stories show
how sincere these beliefs are. ‘Ma’
scoffed at them, but she admitted that
her step-mother was a shaman, and
that she tried to harm her when she
was angry. She came that night
with a furry man,—her spirit,—but
“Ma” said such a prayer that the
step-mother went away and after-
wards was sick for three weeks.
There was also a legend that a kath-
lalik lived on one side of a certain
bay and his wife lived on the other
and whenever anyone went through

ber cave burials at all, although the
glass beads on some bodies prove
that this was a custom even after
the Russians come. Theyinsist that
people simply went there and died.

The myth is told of the cave in

chief fought over his property and
defeated ones died in the cave. Here

News of the New York Theatres
During the Christmas holidays
other little hands besides ours were
busy improving the idle hours of man-
kind and the result was a large rep-
resentation of opening nights along
the Great White Way, and even more
fanfare and blowing of trumpets.

Eugene O’Neill, otherwise known
as the voice crying in the wilderness
at this point in the drama’s history,
eame forth with what he described
as “a modern miracle play” in the
disguise of Days Without End. For a
while all of us were troubled by the
fear that the great black crow had
changed his anthem of “Whither,
whither, or after sex what,” which
he established so -conclusively in
Mourning Becomes Electra, but in
this new work he proves that what-
ever happy and jovial moments he
may have he is still alive to the evil
rampant. The play concerns a man
who began life with a great white
hope for the ultimate goodness of al)
things. It was his-misfortune-to_lose
his father and mother in an epidemic
and from then on he had to struggle
in the toils of a gnawing disbelief in
God and all His powers. The man is
played by Earle Larimore, while the
Gnawing Disbelief is represented’ by
Stanley Ridges, who hovers behind
his chair. like the desire for another
drink. Mr. Ridges is made up to re-
semble everything unattractive im-
aginable and the mothers of today
should thank Mr. O’Neill for creating
vice with so hideous a mien. In other
words, there are two actors for one
part—that of the protagonist — and
the job keeps them both pretty busy.
The play itself is nothing more than
a recountal of the struggles of the
good nature against the bad and as
such it lacks the high spots for which
one waits in the works of our great
writer of.melodrama. In the end there
is a suggestion of it when Mr. Lari-
more falls before the image of the

he has‘seen the light, and Mr. Ridges

the comment of Robert Benchley
seems to us especially intelligent. He
said in commenting on the dissatis-

fair to the play and-to Miss Hepburn
if the play had been allowed to come
into town and set up shop like others

: Miss Sands Renders
_. ~~ Novel Monologues

 

‘Continued from Page One
“tante;~to Maria, the sweet heroine,
and to Henry, Maria’s beau. It was
obvious that the actress of the time
_ was playing Charlotte up to the limit
of her characterization; the coquetry,
the stiff, affected gestures, the simper,
the. pseudo-English accent, were ex-
pertly and noticeably emphasized by
Miss Sands. It was an interesting
point in the playwriting technique of
the time that the playwright, by us-
ing the device of a note telling Char-
lotte she has been discovered in her
evil plans, so that her fiance is going
to marry Maria, lightly avoided sev-
eral of the most potentially dramatic
scenes. The consequent sudden ref-
ormation of the formerly affected
Charlotte into-a good, swect Ameri-
can girl sorry for her deeds, was
played by Miss Sands with a care-
fully-pointed note of insincerity.

The next scene .was laid in the
1780’s on the frontiers, among one
of the first theatrical touring com-
panies. It had among its members a
cabinet-maker, a stage-struck tailor,
and a printer whd ‘had gone stage-
mad_at the smell of the footlights,
for none of the established actors
would go everf%to Ohio “to be devour-
ed by the savages.” The company
played in log cabins, with candles on
tables for lights and a curtain made
of two bedspreads sewed together.
The men in the audience wore coon-
skin caps and carried shotguns, and
the women wore homespun dresses;
the audience had all come long jour-
neys in wagons and were ready to
enjoy anything.

The play was M. T. Lewis’ Adel-
gatha, Or the Fruits of a Single
Error. Adelgatha had been seduced
in her youth by a false knight; that
was the single error. The play is
laid in Otranto in 1080, where Adel-
gatha’s sin has been discovered by
Michael, the immortal villain of. mel-
odrama, who denounces her to her
husband, Guiscard, the good and pure
knight. Miss Sands played all three
parts.

Her interpretation of Michael, with
the time-honored long black mous-
tache, large black hat,. triumphant
chuckle, sibilant hiss, and sneering
tones, was a marvel of authentic vil-
lainy. Her rendition of Guiscard,
who must have been played by the
stage-struck tailor, as a stolid oaf,
rooted to one spot on the stage, flap-
ping his arms woodenly for empha-
sis, and having to be prompted for
every other word was a perfect satire
of bad acting.

But perhaps her greatest success
was Adelgatha, the bad actress at-
tempting to be a tragedy queen. Miss

Sands’ histrionic ranting, efforts to:

reach the highest pitch of emotion
with an eye on the audience’s reac-
tion, and death scene, done with. re-
peated falling down and leaping agile-
ly up again, with many, powerful
groans that shook the rafters and
should have sufficed to kill her im-
mediately, and with the device of a
bloody handkerchief whipped out
from over her heart and triumphant-
ly waved on high as she cried ‘“‘Heav-
en! Heaven!” was an inclusive sur-
vey of everything an actress could
do that was wrong.

Miss Sands’ next scene was an im-
personation of Lotta Crabtree, “Lot-
ta the Unapproachable,” “The Dra-
matic Diamond,” the household word
and idol of the 1870’s and ’80’s, in
Little Nell and the Marchioness,
dramatized for her from The Old
Curiosity Shop. Lotta’s father went
west in ’53 in the gold rush, and
Lotta, having been taught to dance
and sing by an actress in the mining
town, toured the west with her moth-

er in Traylor’s Traveling Train.
They played mining towns where
_ children were never seen, and Lotta,
perched on a stage of boards laid over
barrels, was given millions in gold
“bars and gold-dust by hard-hearted
miners, weeping at the sight of the
child innocently singing sentimental
“ballads. ‘Her innocence was her great
forte, and throughout her life her
_ audiences never permitted her to

abandon it, nor to do a play in which

‘she did not sing and dance.

She played both Little Nell and the
Cockney slavey whom Dick. Swiveller

Sands’. overplaying of the slavey’s
Cockney accent and _talkativeness
showed that acting technique in the
1880’s was nearer pasheliv-day tech-
nique than in the 178055, but’ was
still very artificial. The preferences
of the ’80’s were very apparent in
the scene where Lotta suddenly. an-
nounced she was.going to sing, perch-
ed herself on a table with a mandolin,
and with innocent, childish coyness
and roguishness sang a sentimental
ballad. This finished, she did what
might best be described as a “little
dance,” and then carried on with the
-play, exactly as though her singing
and dancing had never occurred,

In the second part of her program,
Miss Sands impersonated Ethel Bar-
rymore as she made her debut in
Captain Jinks of the Horse Ma-
rines, giving a marvelously true imi-
tation of the huskily pathetic crescen-
do and diminuendo of Miss Barry-
more’s voice, and Lillian Russ, as

‘reer. Her pink and white, blonde
beauty, the pink satin, low-necked,
bewreathed gown, and the Grecian
bend were in perfect accord with the
youthful audience’s mental picture of
Miss Russell.
“The Picture Turned to the Wall,”
the audience screamed for an encore,
and were answered with an even bet-
ter ballad, almost too wonderful to
have been real, entitled “Take Back |
Your Gold For Gold Can Never Buy
Me.”

Miss Sands next put on a scene
from The Easiest Way, in which Dav-
id Belasco presented Frances Starr.

Although it seemed a rather moral
and didactic play to a modern audi-
ence, it has something which modern
plays completely lack — something
that—can—be described_by--no—other
words than a feeling of “theatre,”
and Miss Sands brought out this
quality in every second of a superbly
dramatic and emotional performance.
Her fearless use of high emotional
pitch implied that the acting tech-
nique of the 1930’s, while having
gained in smoothness and delicacy,
has Jost in the power and emotion
apparently usual in the early 1900’s.

The program ended with three im-
personations: of Greta Garbo, which
disappointingly failed to catch Miss
Garbo’s personality; of Theda Bara,
which had all the languishing seduct-
iveness, the literal tearing of hair
and clasping of heaving bosom of the
original movie vamp, “The Most
Wicked Woman in the World;” and
of Mae West, whose diamond brace-
lets, tough accent and swaggering

cise exaggeration. .

If Miss Sands’ interpretation of
the modernistic under-acting of Miss
Garbo had been as_ sensitive and
technically exact as her interpreta-
tions of older styles of acting, her
program would have been flawless;
as it-was, it was a revelation of the
knowledge of acting technique that
it is possible to gain and to present
entertainingly.

frage, ‘and ‘freedom’ and all such
‘strong-minded’ subjects, as well as
the more jolly side of college life,
were discussed. freely in the bosom
of the Hepburn family in -the great
rambling Hartford house where Kath-
arine Hepburn grew up.

‘Now at Bryn Mawr—’ Mrs.
Hepburn would say, and go off.into
some fascinating story of her college
days.

‘I want‘to go to Bin Mar!’ would
come the plea from little freckle-
face. ¢

‘All right, some day you shall go,’
was the answer. Just as it was ‘yes’
when Kate wanted to march with her
mother in the Woman’s ‘Suffrage pa-
rade. And so the tradition of son
going to father’s college was kept
up in this family by daughter going
to mother’s college. And Kate Hep-
burn went to Bryn Mawr.

But it was not until the Spring of
her Junior year at college that she
showed strong signs that she still re-
tained a deep but hidden longing to
tread the boards.

That year, mostly through the in-
fluence of one Miss ‘Beany’ Parker,
coach of Varsity Dramatics, who had
viglent stage ambitions herself, Kate
Hepburn was enthused into trying
out for the college presentation of
the well-known play, ‘The Truth
About Blayds,’ in which she played
the male juvenile: lead.

The next year, her senior year, she
played in the Varsity Dramatics’ ver-
sion -of- ‘The Cradle~ Song,’ which
had become so familiar to New York

audiences by that time through the]

Civic Repertory Theatre presenta-
tions. of Miss Eva La Gallienne.
‘Katherine Hepburn as Theresa

proved,’ stated the next issue of the
College News.

‘In other words, up to this time
the general college attitude was
“Kate’s marvelous-looking, but, good
heavens, she can’t act!”’ a girl who
was present at that college play told
me.

But Bryn Mawr students were nev-
er again to say that Hepburn could
not act!

‘Big May Day,’ a celebration of
each fourth year at Bryn Mawr, with
May Pole, dancing, and plays, came
shortly before the class of 1928 left
the college halls forever.

For her role of Pandora .in’ the
may Day version of ‘The Woman in
the Moon,’ the college’s distinguish-
ed professor of Diction, Professor
Samuel Arthur King, took a hand
in Kate’s rehearsals. Up to that
time she had had no professional
training. Such earlier coaching as
she had received had come from the
aforesaid ‘Beany’ Parker, coach of
the Varsity Dramatics, who was an
amateur undergraduate like herself.

Professor King was the first expert
to work with Kate Hepburn, I be-
lieve, in an intensive effort to help
her place her voice and find herself
dramatically.

The audiences of classmates, par-
ents, and visitors were thrilled and
amazed at the poise and beauty of
her performances, of, which there
were three. ere

It was their’ appreciation and a

rising sense of power and courage
that made Kate Hepburn determine
to make the stage: her . profession.

And which led, four years after her

graduation and “as grilling a stage
experience between college and Hol-
lywood as ever a girl went through,
to her sensational] début as a hitherto
untried actress for the screen.

Kate Hepburn, Bryn Mawr, ’28, is
the first college girl—at least the first
graduate of an American woman’s
college—to make an outstanding place
in films.

And it is hard to tell which peo-
ple have been more stunned by her
electrifying individuality and  artis-
try in the photographic medium:
those who knew her before, or those
who never heard of her before the
appearance of the picture version of
“A Bill of Divorcement” with John
Barrymore, which introduced her to
picturd audiences.

You know what the people who
had even seen her before—even in
“The Warrior’s Husband” or any of
her other few roles on the New York
stage between college and Hollywood
—did when they saw her first screen
performance of Sydney. They just
took her to their hearts, by the mil-
lions, of course. Even as you and I.

But the girls who had~* gone

had been in the same classes with
her, and played tennis with her, or
even remembered those three splen-

did performances of Pandora on Big
May Day, just could ‘not believe it
was true!

They had known that Kate Hepburn .-
was a grand girl—awfully careless
as to clothes, of course—but clever
and interesting. Very independent.
Not particularly well-known to any
but her own intimate ctowd, which
included Alice Palache, of Boston,
and the girl who is now Mrs. Fred-
erick Vanderbilt Field. Just one of
them,

»But they “didn’t know it was in
her” to do such big things, and in
a way they were shocked to think
what they had overlooked, but thrill-
And with each of her
successive screen appearances her
former classmates have become in-
creasingly proud of her.

There was no way in which Kate
Hepburn displayed her independence
more, perhaps, than in the matter
of her clothes on the campus.

She was one of the girls to intro-
duce the bare-legged fad into Bryn
Mawr. (SCREENLAND, you remem-
ber, said in the beginning that she —
was “more modern than tomorrow.”)

She wore battered sneakers about
the campus. Big, heavy sports shoes
and socks, also, sometimes.

And as a forerunner for the over-
alls and-slacks that-she-now wears on
the Hollywood lot and have brought
so much discussion—she frequently

Nazis Want Equality “
in National Status

 

Continued from Page One
spects concentration camps, is never
shown any but the better class. Con-
sequently, most Americans are pro-

* foundly biased for or against the Hit-

ler regime.

Although the discharge of officials
from civil service posts has seemed
to the outside rule a proof of Nazi
misrule, the German Government de-
clares, and is prepared to prove, that
the Civil Service Restoration Act is
cgnstitutional. Under a. clause of
that act, which is legal under the En-
abling Act of 1924, “politically unreli-
able” persons may be exeluded from
Government posts.. As the Civil Serv-
ice embraces hundreds of vocations
— college professors and trolley-car
conductors among others—the control
given by the Act is sweeping.

It would be hard to prove the Nazi
procedure not only to be illegal, but
even unusual; for it is worth while
to recall that a number of other na-
tions indulge in the same brand of
discrimination against certain racial
groups. Although it has been stat-
ed that the Hitler government has

~ threatened the German people. with

violence, it is not true that they have
been forced to abandon their own
creed. “I would consider myself -hap-
py if I could believe this,” said Dr.
The truth. of
the matter is that the sort of politi-
cal pressure being used by Hitler is
no more illegal than that. used in
American ward politics. s
When indifference weakens the will
of a democracy to defend an outworn
creed, in. the ¢asé of Germany em-
bodied in the Weimar constitution, a
militant minority, such as the Nazis
form, is enabled to step in and as-
sume control. One has to contrast

 

this state of weakness among the So-
cial Democrats. and intelligentsia with
the strong and simple minds of the
Brown Shirt. He has, as a rule, spent
his lastthree year's in guérilla war-
fare with opposition parties, carried
on with the conviction that in Hitler-
ism lies his last and best chance.

The dominance of Hitler has here-

tofore.met with no serious check but.

the opposition of the Protestant
church. Whether this element in the
German state will céimf#!] Hitler to
modify his doctrines is a question for
the future.

“Those who base their judgments
on fz .t and not on emotion will agree
that he Nazi revolution can only be
expiained by the war and its after-
math.” The Versailles Treaty demol-
ished the ideology and morale of the
lower middle classes by destroying
the economic and political security of
Germany. The Treaty caused a gen-
eral. feeling of uneasiness and hope-
lessness since it denied Germany’s ob-
viously just claims and left the Ger-
man péople feeling ee ese claims
existed for the rest of the world only
in the German imagination.

It is fascinating to reflect on what
might have been the result if conces-
sions had been made by the Allies to
the Bruening cabinet before its wise
and able leader was. forced to resign.
The Nazis might very easily have
been blocked, as were the Communists
of Central Europe by means of the
Dawes plan. After the fall of Bruen-
ing, a series of cabinets were defeat-
ed by Hitler’s party, and it became
obvious that their strength would be
of more use in the government than
in opposition.

Since the Nazi accession to power,
its leaders have been somewhat broad-
ened by their new responsibilities. It
is too easy to dismiss Hitler’s proc-
lamations in foreign policy as mere

 

double-crossing’ “his peaceful procla-
mations ‘are what they are.’”’-This bel-

|licose Brown Shirt has been compel-

led to realize that the domestic af-
fairs of Germany react powerfully on
the outside world; the boycott brought
ghis truth home to him.

“Hitler, as Chancellor, has never
suggested use of violence in interna-
tional affairs.” He has only contin-
ued. Germany’s traditiona] post-war
policy of demanding equality..of stat-
us and armaments—and in this _poli-
cy receives the unanimous suppprt
of the people. There was no better
way for Hitler to win popularity than
by the tactics he used in the General
Election of October, 1933. Approv-
al of the referendum on withdrawal
from the League was linked to-ap-
proval of Hitler’s candidates; almost

100- per cent of the electorate voted; |

almost 90 per cent. were in favor of
withdrawal from the League; and al-
most the same number voted for Hit-
ler’s men.

More significant than the news
blurbs on this occasion, ‘was. the
statement of the Nazi cabinet on the
referendum. They repudiated force,
declaring for peace and disarmament
at the same rate as other nations—
to be attained by negotiation and reg-
ional pacts of non-aggression. Their
dramatic. withdrawal-from the League
on the. basis of this referendum will,
it is hoped, lead to a restatement of
methods toward peace. The guaran-
tee of equality of status conceded by
the Allies in 1932 cannot be said to
be invalidated by the revolution as,
according to international law, inter-
nal change does not affect foreign
obligations.

The German people, in voting. fo.
withdrawal from the League, did not
vote for rearmament, but against it.
“The Hitler cabinet gavé the world
another chance to avoid war by with-

drawal from the League.” By turn-
ing her back on the League, Ger-
many has practically pledged herself
not to talk further about revision or
rearmament. Since Germany cannot
rearm with the vigilant eyes of her
sister nations upon her, it is up to
them to decide her fate. The present
government, although well-intrench-
ed internally, depends upon its for-
eign relations for continued tenure of
power.

The problem at present is to keep
the peace. War—“that opportunity for
the physically fit male to expand his
ego”’—has lost its glamor through
technology. . Since’ the engineer
and scientist will conduct the next
war in a thoroughly efficient manner,
it will be impossible to-avoid responsi-
bility through isolation.

New means for peaceful adjust-
ment of disputes’ must. be evolved,
since not much has been agcomplish-
ed by the’ juridical system of the
League and World Court. The “status
quo” is enforced by this system,
which is based on the Versailles
Treaty; which is in turn based on
rmhisinformation. The treaty-makers
remodelled Europe without taking
into account relative density of pop-
ulation and the results of lack of re-
sources On any one nation. .On the
basis of this ‘reckless carving . out
of nations, the question of the Ansch-
luss, for example, was decided at The
Hague. Economic right was disre-
garded in favor of precedent.

A country kept in by insane boun-
daries will inevitably lose control
and break out in war. The revival
of the obsolete ideology of 1914 among
the middle classes, both in Germany
and America, the creed of economic
nationalism, makes preparation for
peace even more necessary.

elements of war hysteria, might find

Certainly it would be more profitable,

In conclusion, Or. Marx urged
earnestly that Hitler’s proclamation

ed as the words of a nation, not as

ers. The advances made by the Ger-
man Government to other nations in

made her appearance at breakfast
in a suit or dress pulled hastily over
her pajamas, with the sleep still in
her eyes. A green corduroy skirt
with raveled hem, and a shirt which
needed pressing, and a beret or tyrol-
ean hat with a long pheasant’s feath-
er are remembered as a favorite cos-
tume of hers. But she was known
for her complete indifference to other
people’s criticism of her ensemble.
(This is conceded to be a fault of
many college girls, however, not just
an eccentricity of Kate’s. One of the
college magazines recently published
an article comparing the campus
“where there are no men” with that
of the co-educational college, and
found the latter much better-dressed.)

“Kate could be stunning!” I was
told the other day by a girl from her
class. “As a matter of fact, her
clothes were exceedingly smart. She
was. lovely in the evening. Most of
them, as I recall it, were made for
her.”’

“In Hartford?”

“Yes, in Hartford: She designed
most of them, or many, at. any rate.

Of course, at college during the week

she did not dress up particularly.
Bryn Mawr is not like the other
women’s colleges that have proms
and tea dances all the time on the
campus. Everyone goes home week-
ends when possible—or to Philadel-
phia or some place.

“Katherine went home to Hart-
ford, or over to New York. week-
ends. Sometimes she visited in Phil-

-adelphia.”

Speaking of boys—I have been told
by one of her best friends that there
were always ‘strings of boys around
wherever she was. She has always
been exceedingly popular with them
since the head-standing, trapeze-slid-

. ing days at Hartford, and has usual-

ly been able to equal them in athletic
games and contests. She met “Lud”
Smith, as every one knows, at Bryn

Mawr at the home of. some friends
whose son had brought him home for
a visit, during her senior year, and

school.

She does not care much for danc-
ing except as a study, such as she
made with Mordkin in preparation
for her stage work, and rarely in-
dulges in ball-room dancing, I am
told.

“Katharine Hepburn could have
been one of the most brilliant stu-
dents on the campus if she had felt
the urge,” one girl from her class
told me. “Just as she could have
more éasily than not become a mem-~-
ber of the swimming team. Every-
one was very much excited over her
swimming freshman year, hoping for

sity. She was too much of an indi-
vidualist, \however, to be interested
long in any community activity, and
not interested enough to keep. in
training.”

“Kate” majored in Philosophy and
two of her other subjects were Psy-
chology and German. She had a
very quick and original mind and
was able to understand and learn
her work: very easily. She had: an
amusing habit,’ Tike~ schoolboys, of
addressing all male professors as
“Sip” and would often preface an
objection with “But, Sir, what about
‘the other side of the question?”

“Of all the so-called ‘children of
nature’ Kate was the most natural.
She always. managed to do what she
wanted to no matter what the world
said, and she was most contradic-
tory,” said a friend who knows her
well. “She never cared at all for
rules.”

She lived in Pembroke West Fresh-
man year and in Junior and Senior
years in Pembroke East in the charm-
ing tower-room just outside the din-
ing room.

She went through one period of
aestheticism in the furnishing of her
room when she decided to be as Spar-
tan as possible, sleeping on the floor
and having none of the accepted
comforts and ornaments of life such

“Kate appeared to have plenty of
money and took her meals out, for the
most part, besides being an habitué
of “the College Inn--where-—-she--was
usually to be found from tea time on,
playing bridge sometimes with her
own particular friends, but not when
she could get out of it. Bridge gives
her the jitters.

Katharine Hepburn is what they
call, in educational circles, the “new”
college girl. This means that she is
independent, scorns “rah rah” things,
is to be trusted to study because she
is grown up enough to enjoy her
classes, speaks up in class, dares’-to
disagree with a professor, and thinks
that following the deliberations of the
League of Nations is as fascinating
as the sweet girl graduate of the
