THE COLLEGE NEWS _ Page. Three 6 Fast Varsity Loses To Philadelphia 4-0 Quick Passing, Interchanging’ ~ Holds Skillful Opponents To Low Score GROUND HARD, SLIPPERY The Varsity Hockey team played its last game on Saturday against the! All-Philadelphia team and was de- feated by a score.of 4-0. Varsity played its best game of the season because of the fact that the opposing team, including seven All-American players, was the strongest it has met this year, and played a game which was remarkable for brilliant passing and fast dribbling. Varsity’s passing was unusually accurate and fast, and even though the ground was hard and made the ball bounce unexpect- edly, the Bryn Mawr players were successful in picking up hard passes. The ground was so slippery that most of the players fell down when- ever they tried to stop suddenly, but they picked themselves up quickly and started off again. Notwithstand- | ing the fact that the Philadelphia team was much faster than Varsity and often got away to’a clear field, their free shots were always stopped by the goal-keeper, Leighton. The goals that they did make were all shot from a confusing scrimmage in the circle. The college team is to be _congratulated on holding its skillful opponents to a mere 4-0 victory. ‘The forwards played very well as a whole and their team-work was particularly good. B. Cary, playing her last. game as -captain of the team, played excellently as center for- ward and got away to some very good open-field runs. M. Bakewell, in the left inside position, picked.up passes well from the backs and got rid of the ball.at the right time. Her passes to the center and out to the wing were well-placed behind the defend- ing backs. Jane Carpenter, playing right inner, seemed somewhat weak in her handling of the ball, but kept better control as the game went on. She sometimes failed to send a pass to Taggart who was often free and ' waiting for it, but this was obviously because of the fact that it was the difficult side to which to send a pass. The few times that Taggart did get the ball she handled it very well and sent good passes to the forwards in the shooting circle. The team-work. on the part of the backs was even better than that of the’ forwards. Their quick inter- changing was particularly useful when a fast opposing forward started down the field with the ball. M. Bridgman played her best game of the year as right half. She made one of the most brilliant plays of the game when she brought the ball out of the circle after a penalty bully. P. Martin, in the difficult position of center half, played a really excellent game of hockey. She successfully brought the ball out of the circle and carried it up to her forwards when the opposing team was just about to shoot, and also supported her own forwards in their shooting. circle. She was, perhaps, the playei most responsible for keeping the ball around the Philadelphia goal as much Local Movies Ardmore: Thursday, George Raft in She Couldn’t Take It; Friday, Ad- miral Byrd in Little America; Satur- day, The Three Musketeers, with Wal- ter Abel; Monday and Tuesday, Henry Wilcoxon in The Crusaders; Wednes- day, Kay Francis in I Found \Stella Parrish.

M. Jackson played in the position of right back with her usual steadiness and determination—faculties which are seldom found ina pame as tense as this one. L. Bright, at left back, showed that she could play both a fast game and an accurate oné; and her rapid shifting from one side of the field to the other was a great help in’ keeping down her opponents’ score. Gertrude Leighton upheld her repu- tation as a good goal-keeper and con- tinually stopped the excellent shots of the All-American forwards. The few short, quick flicks that did get past her would have been impossible , to stop. This is .the last game for some of the team who graduate this year, and we know that the team will feel their loss when they come back to play without such players as Cary, Taggart, C. C.

"From them no dramatic material was drawn, nor were the completed dramas addressed to them.. The theatre was a snobbish art, representing one clique and pre- senting “itself to that one alone. That one fashionable group believed in the impossible possibility of rationalizing the emotions. Practicing its belief, it disregarded morality and pursued a strictly improper course of life. Comic playwrights found such a situ- ation adaptable to an ancient satirical theme springing from the paradoxi- cal nature of man, half animal, half divine. In the years after the World War writers again repeated this theme to embody the same flagrant question of sexual license and the i same futile attempt to subdue passion to reason. Because of such similar problems and similar. treatment, the Restoration literature is linked to that of our own time, and we are far more capable of understanding it than were the pious Victorians. The world which the inverted reflec- tion of tragedy revealed was one of disillusionment inevitable after the conclusion of a long, Civil War in conditions much like those which had existed before it ever broke out. Combined with this feeling of frus- tration was an aesthetic doctrine pos- tulating the epic as the highest form of poetry, tragedy as epic poetry un- der another name, and the duty of the epic as the celebration of valor, beauty, and love. Since the examples of valor supplied by the recent war were too close, too obviously ugly, too related to ordinary men, traged- ians were forced to turn to ancient, exotic days. There as well as any- where, beauty could be found to praise, and there only was pure love. Because of the rarity of such ethereal affection at the time, it was especially needful that tragedy should celebrate true love, for art should supply what actuality lacks. _ Both inversely and immediately, therefore, Restoration drama was conditioned by Restoration England. The distinctions within the conditions were introduced or emphasized by the individual authors. Because he had a nimble wit and a quick ear for prose, Etheredge, the first of the grea‘ S. Evans, playing left comedians, developed the free comedy form. In The Man of Mode, his most successful play, the characters. are gay, fantastic creatures whirling air- ily and thoughtlessly through’ life as if through an elaborate ballet. Like all the figures of Restoration Comedy, they belong to the town rather. than to the country as the Elizabethans did. Since, then, his plays were so light and unphilosophical, Etheredge expressed ne deep convictions, except that life should be enjoyed, and en- joyment should be made an art. He thus missed one of the principal characteristics. of his fellows, who worked: with the second type of é¢om- edy—the comedy of humors. They did .not, like Jonson; attack the in- herent vices of mankind, but they did lash at all acquired follies in an effort to present a saner view of life. When Wycherley, who was attracted to both the Puritanical austerity of the masses and the gay immorality of the court, tried to ridicule man’s in- nate and superficial failings at the same time, he did not succeed. The savage vituperation which he piled up in speech after speech made sur- prisingly good stage effects, but not good literature. Only in The Coun- try Wife did he arrive at unity. His powerful, tortured mind here worked itself out to a delicate balance of feel- ing which he offered as an antidote to the extravagances of the time. Congreve was the greatest of the comedians. Because he was half a poet, he was able to unify his material and to create life out of it, although it was fast becoming obsolete. ‘The sexual theme had ceased to be the most pressing contemporary prob- lem, yet this was the theme which Congreve used. -About it he had only one thing to say, and he said it over and over; that simple, honest love alone is desirable; that artificiality and libertinism are foolish and vi- cious. Even though he tried to reform the world, Congreve did not expect it to reform. He was disillusioned and sorrowful for all mankind. Through his best comedy scenes there always runs a thread ;of. sadness which is expressed as a fear of too great reality, as a desire to keep life at a safe distance. To make existence a little more graceful and poetic, to maintain a somewhat more polite balance of affections, seemed to him the only way to make life bearable. As well as thus bringing the moral- ity of Restoration comedy to its height, he brought the -medium—to—an unsurpassed excellence also. He was a master of prose. After him, writers ceased to believe in the pos- sibility of rationalizing the emotions. While keeping the same cynical form, they allowed sentimentality. to creep in and destroy the form. Restora- tion comedy was ended. The tragedians of the Restoration began on a basis as impossible as that of the comedians; and just as the comedy could endure only while believed in, the tragedy was doomed to decay as soon as its ideals of chivalrous love and beauty were ac- knowledged to be impossible. In the first place, the form and content of the tragedies were ill-suited. The form was classical; the content, ro- mantic. To agree with the material used, the ancient elements of pity and fear had to be altered; fear being changed to admiration, and pity limited to the calamities of true love. Love was treated as more important DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DURHAM, N. C. Four terms of eleven weeks are given each year.

He was actually mad, and by his very insanity, he was im-| pelled to aim at the absolute. Noble ; passion, vice and horror never ap- peared to him except in their extreme ; aspects., Since the elaborate scenery, | the fantastic problems, and the im-, possible psychology of his art were | already set for him, he could only perfect them with his peculiarly ap- propriate talents, but there -yet re- mained one thing he could introduce —words. He used words with unbe- lievable wildness and force. If Wag- ner had been living to write the music, Lee would have written opera. Dryden was a greater architect than Lee; his plays are balanced baroque structures decorated as pro- fusely as possible. He himself con- fessed that the elements he worked with were mere nonsense, yet out of them he. still constructed great art. Although ‘he carried artificial pretti- ness to its limits, he was always in| control of that prettiness. He could | express profound thought in its nar- row bounds.or he could use it as a mere exercise for perfecting the language. In spite of the foolish ma- terial he was forced to use, through it he was able to express a serious, characteristic Restoration— philosophy —a philosophy of disillusionment. By virtue of this similar sense of frus- tration, in both forms, Restoration comedy and tragedy are actually re- lated after all, although superficially unlike, and are actually vital, al- though the tragedy at least often | seems to be outmoded. | Clifton Fadiman Lists Best Seller’s Appeals Continued from Page One, books which have this appeal will sell | for this reason alone in spite of the} fact that they have much literary merit. Nijinsky, by the dancer’s wife isan example of such a book. -Ulys- ses is another. Europa is selling now for much the same reason, although the critics have recently discovered that it is not such a masterpiece as they once proclaimed it... The fear element is carried over from the advertising industry: people read such books’ as 100,000,000 Guinea Pigs and Emily Post’s Etiquette be- cause if they did not they would be afraid of the consequences. Books which have few of these, ap- peals can be made best sellers by many kinds of publicity. Books which are banned by ‘such organizations as The Society for the Suppression of Vice often become best ‘sellers as a result of the publicity attendant on the action of suppression. James Branch Cabell became a popular author only after his novel, Jurgen, was banned. The sale of Ulysses received a similar impetus. Ordinary and high-pressure advertising acts in the same way. The Book of the Month Club. selections usually receive a great deal of free publicity by the members of the club. During the years 1930-34 twelve of the twenty-four best sellers were Book of the Month Club selections, Little things like the personality of the author, preferences of celebrities and change of titles have great effects on the sale of books. Trader Horn and Count Keyserling’s two-volume work:'on philosophy became popular partly because of interest in the ec- centricities of their authors.
