“a THE COLLEGE NEWS —_ K. Hepburn Playing in The Warrigr’s Husband (Continued from Page One) characterization to lapse into slap- stick. Sapiens, as Mr. Brent plays him, is a charming young man: who flirts violently with Antiepe and then faints when she kisses him; he is fem- inine, but: never effeminate. Miss Hepburn, as Antiope, plays a young Amazon, whose chief characteristic is her exuberance. _ Her portrayal is completely straight forward, and she never resorts to any devices which might be called theatrical. Miss Hep- burn’s Antiope is-frank and unciviliz- ed, but at times a little—nionotonous. In her endeavors to be manly and muscular she ignores the fact that even Amazons. experience emotional conflicts. Her playing is more effect- ive during the first act than during her later scenes with Theseus, when she struggles between her natural loy- alty to Hippolyta and her love for the Greek. However, the character is primarily a wild creature and Miss Hepburn plays her with an enthusi- asm and lack of conceit which is more than gratifying. Perhaps the lack. of emotion is included in the character, for it is her charming nai- vete which lends Miss Hepburn’s An- tiopé her charm. Colin Keith John- son is competent and heroic as The- seus, and one feels that if Antiope must be conquered, Theseus should do it. The Warrior's Husband is well written and hilariously,funny. It is _ beautifully produced with great atten- tion to detail, and the acting is uni- formly excellent. It is a comedy which never gives its audience time to collect its wits and is well worth seeing. seeing. S. J, News of the New York ‘Theatres We Are No Longer Children open- ed hopefully last week, but the title seemed to express the sentiments of the audience better than the mean- ing of the play, and the public stayed home, so the actors gave up and went home, too. Now everybody’s home. Hope Williams and Beatrice Lillie seem to be a mellowinginfluence in the company of Too True To Be Good— Urged on by their high principles, the cast gave a matinee for the bene- fit of the Working Girls’ Vacation Society. They may be looking into the future and fixing it up so they can get a day off to go to Coney Is- land, and then again it may be pure nobility of soul. At present a drama known as Bulls, Bears and Asses is in rehearsal. No oné seems to have much of a*grasp on what it is all about, but the title ap- plies to almost any modern. group, ranging from the New York Stock Exchange to Bryn Mawr May Day Committees. Paul Robeson, the noted negro bari- tone, will appear in Ziegfeld’s revival of Showboat. It is a great relief to us to find that Mr. Robeson and not some West End stevedore will sing our favorite “Old Man River.” Too often a producer finds himself a star or two for the main roles and then uses. the stage. crew, Tamany and worn-out bankers to supply the sup- port, what there is of it. The Man Who Changed His Name is to be the title of a melodramatic comedy by the late Edgar Wallace. The play has just gone into rehearsal with Fay Bainter in the leading role. Romney ‘Brent, who is appearing in The Warrior's Husband, has just written a play, entitled Mad Hopes, which Billie Burke is to produce very shortly. Mr. Brent, when comment- ing on his opus, remarked that there | Johnson Lectures on was a part in it. which he .could play, but he feels that-it is enough to ask an audience to hear one of his plays | without putting himself in it. which means that Mr. Brent thinks | All of | extent on the facades of modern Modern Architecture (Continued from Page One) his play can stand up under a little | apartment houses, kidding, which completely shrivels up | some of our modern classics.

If the modern feel- ing about playing Hamlet in a black ness smacking of hell continues to gain popularity, Mr. Howard will probably play it by sitting in a chair on_a dark stage and reading his lines with a flashlight. Plans for the production of Noel Coward’s Design for Living are pro- gressing steadily. Mr. Coward, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne had been included in the cast. when it was no- ticed that the set included a sofa. A special messenger was dispatched to Alexander Woolcott with a full de- scription of the sofa and: an estimate of how much time he could spend on it—as he only had to stand up to get on and off the stage, Mr. Woolcott accepted. " When President George Thomas an- nounced that the wearing of corsages would be barred at the University of Utah junior prom, several girl stu- dents obtained an injunction against Dr. Thomas té°prevent him from stop- ping them wearing the flowers if they so desired — and received them to wear. Nevertheless, when the prom was held, only three or four girls ap- peared with. corsages. ~ —(NSFA.) | The New Tradition in America was ‘derivative and of late development. \In. this tradition factories were de- f a destin hag | signed functionally according to in dustrial necessities.
