The skit of, “The Soap
Box Saint” was only one part new
and two parts old; although it had

possibiilties in its situation in heaven,
it fell back with a dull thud upon the
eternal “gay -nineties.” An interval of
solo tap-dancing was light and pretty.
The, rambling extension of “The Old
South” through minutes devoted to the
intricacies of Southern accent and hos-
pitality was only enlivened by the sing-
ing darkies which the plot contrived,
with some difficulty, to introduce. The
next specialty was an interlude of
partner dancing that was delightfully
graceful. The one skit that was espe-
cially Srigttiat in its humor and se
entation was “It was so alcohol, o
fleas in the Ritz” (with apologies
Gertrude Stein); its point indeed was
in its. poirtléssness;. it smacked of
the “The New Yorker” in its ludi-
crous take-off of the Lettres of. today,
and ‘the implications of its meaning-
less lines.

The auction of the “palpitating
posters” served ‘as intermission and the
spontaneous wit of the auctioneers was
an entertaining contrast to the studied
wit of the skits. “Street Scene” re-
opened the show; the two-storied wall
of familiar: gray stones, with the actors
behind its. windows, gave a new at-
mosphere to the reiteration of local

“But
we haven’t the funds” explains itself
to all those. skit-minded, but it might
be mentioned that the geology episode
was an extraordinary bit of realism.

Sheriff’s ‘Journey’s End’ Is
Warmly Received by Cadets

 

«Fourtiey's End,” ‘the ‘sowertil war
play that has been playing. more than a
year to crowded houses in New York
was presented by the New York com-
pany the other day for the. cadets’ at
West Point. It is reported that the
performers ‘scored the hit of their
careers; nowhere have they heard such
whole-hearted applause as greeted them
in the United States Military Academe, 1.0
And _ though: at first one is encouraged

by the spectacle of young men about to|

be soldiers applauding, the picture of
the ugliness. and futility of modern war-
fare, One° pauses for ~a second thought
and wonders: if that was what they really
were applauding after all.

Those-who lived through the last“ war

sacrifice, unrewarded heroism, _ futile
courage under fire. Men played the
game, decently, uncomplainingly,
although they did-not know what
it. was all about. But these youngsters
at .West Point, to whom the war which
ended twelve years ago is a faint, boy-
ish memory, watched Captain Stanhope
go out from his dugout into the sure
death ‘that was splintering around his
head and thought—what?
any chance, thiiik, as young soldiers from
time immemorial have thought, how glo-
rious, how sweet it is to die thus strongly
and bravely ?-\We-who-know- better—say
that it is neither glorious nor sweet. But
they. might make the same answer that
a ‘yourtg man of twenty-one. made not
long ago to one of thirty -five: “It’s all
well for you to talk,’ he’ said.
“You'ye had your war. And we'll have
ours, too. See if we don't.” Those who

love peace. must find an answer to this |

to comprehend. The Andante was full
of chastened, lyrical beauty; the Vivace
was quick and light, and characterized by
marked accents and bold rhythms. Inthe
latter, violin, ‘cello, and orchestra swung
through vigorous ‘airs and rounded melo-
dies to a fine climax with the drums.
Here indeed the musicians came _ into
their

sympathy.

own - and played with complete

The Strauss Symphonic Tone Poem,
Don
movement’ of the brass and cymbals, a

e
Juan; opened with a_ tremendous

splendid prelude to a vivid, programmis-
tic number. The restless strivings of Don
Juan’s nature were ‘shown in many-col-
ored passages depicting his alternating
moods of fulfilment and _ bitterness.
Tumultuous scenes, made emphatic by
the percussion ‘and brass, shifted to
movements of lyrical contentment, where
the harps and strings predominated. The
final climax of the full orchestra’ gave
place to the last muted ‘whisperings: of
the instruments in the death of Don
Juan. In sympathy, of interpretation and
mastery of mood the Don Juan was
outstanding.

The program ended with Fredrich
Smetana’s Overture to “The Bartered
Bride,” a number rather wanting in color
and feeling tone, but full of interesting
and pleasant phrases—-an excellent con-
clusion to a. program which in selection,
arrangement, and’ execution was above
criticism. The enthusiasm of the audi-
ence was indicative of great admiration
for the accomplished’ young musicians,
and of sitcerest thanks to Mrs. Bok;
who made this concert possible.

The program follows:

Then and Now

How times. have changed! In 1734
the following regulations were made at
Mount Holyoke: “No young lady shall
be a member of the. Mount Holyoke
Seminary who can not kindle a fire, wash
potatoes, repeat “the multiplication tables,
and at least two-thirds of the shorter
catechism. Every member of: the school
walks at least a mile a day, unless a
freshet, earthquake, or other calamity
prevents. No young lady shall. devote
more than an hour a day to miscella-
neous reading. No young’ lady is ex-
pected to have any gentlemen acquaint-
ances .unless they are returned mission-
aries, or agents of benevolent societies.”
-—The -Johnsonian.

Co-Eds Shun Marriage

University co-eds consider marriage a
mere sideline to their real, profession, it
was proved by vocational statistics gath-
ered from women of organized houses
at the University of Oklahoma. Of the
four hundred from whom reports were
obtained, only eleven listed marriage’ as
their aim in life.

Everything from aviation to house-
wife was lists which
wer® presented to the girls asking them
to number their choice of ten possible

included oy the

| vocations and ‘to add to the list any

profession not already noted.
Conte what will, the idea of being a

school teacher still holds its own in the!)

minds of co-eds who look forward to

future livelihood. Seventy-eight women
placed some phase of public school teach-
ing as first choice.
preferred high school positions.

Fifteen. girls aspire to jobs as for-

eign buyer for merchandise dealers.
Eight would be experts in women’s fash-
ions. All types of art work ranked high,
with interior decorating and designing
each listed by thirteen. Six women
would be doctors and six surgeons.

Any phase of writing also / appeals
to the feminine ‘idea of work, ‘according
to the figures, Thirteen would be fea-
ture playwrights, thirteen dramatic. crit-
ics, and’ twelve feature writers for news-
papers and magazines.

That women are still broadening their
field of occupation is shown -in the sug-
gested work not on the list. Oil geol-
ogists, archeologists, secret service

women, and lease brokers will evidently

come from the group of women at the
univtrsity.—McGill Daily.
