There were three philosophies in the Middle Ages, as a matter < of fact, which were parallel and we read about them in three languages: Those were the Latin, the Arabic and. the Hebrew, and they were correspondingly Mohammeden- ism, and Jewish philosophy. What are the characteristics of me- diaeval philosophy? Treat” it histor- ically. One characteristic which: differen- tiates. mediaeval philosophy generally from ancient and modern philosophy is an epistemological dualism. The ‘ancient philosopher knew apparently in the. clas- sical period of only one source of truth —within himself: sensation, perception, logical, inference or intuition. But all those depend upon the individual him- BRYN MAWR (AND W: WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1930 en Flower Humanizes : 7 * ~ Shakespeare learned point of view, Sir Archibald Flower, chairman of the Board of Gov- ernors of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, believes, peare unpopular, that we must try, to pull him from his pedestal, and realize what a very human being he was.

SINGS | FROM SONGBAG a On Tiel evening, March 10, inthe Auditorium of Goodhart Hall, Miss Don- nelly, as the head of the English De- partment, introduced Carl Sandburg, the speaker on ‘the Ann Elizabeth Sheble Memorial Lectureship in English Lit- erature. To thdse with the rough chal- lenge of Onion Days and Clean C urtains twanging in their ears, the quiet dignity and fine humour of Mr. Sandburg were a pleasant surprise. Where an apostle of the masses had been expected, startling us out of our placid after-dinner content with crude jargon of the stockyards, we found a man acutely sensitive to the fin- est subtleties of feeling and sound, “en- Veloping his work with the rhythms and_. cadences of a rich musical voice. Previous to his readings, Mr. Sand- burg, referring to the. cfiticism evoked by his innovations in verse form and con- text, discussed the matter of personal taste in art. If we fail to respond to a work of art, it is probablybecause—it—is not for-us.__No-one-person-ean-hepe-dur-—— ing his life time to. put himself in “syin- pathy with all the works of art, should he-strive for this: masterpieces, and shadow,” and springing from pro- found experience,- should be known and communed with until their depths be- come -a part of us.

Page 8 Dr. Faustus Presented Those who went to the production of the Haverford English Club on Fri- day expecting to see the superman Faustus cementing a bond. with the gpowers of darkness, and,in the full- ness of time reaping his just deserts, were startled to find Mephistopheles rather than Faustus the center of the stage. A most engaging devil, scarlet from the end. of his horns to the tip of his tail, he won the audience with a contagious “Heh, heh,’ which even Faustus caught by the last scene; Whether he was panting with rage until the red buttons down his chest heaved, jesting cynically with Faustus on the subject of women, or artfully tempting him with conjuring, he nat- urally. slipped into this -interjection, which was far more eloquent than all the lofty poetry of Faustus on hell or heaven. In fact, even a gown with a fur. hood and an advisory body of ‘angels failed to brighten the study where Faustus, with a skull, a. Bible and a Justinian for company, carried on his soliloquies. But given the same study with a sullen Mephistopheles arriving hot from hell and it was full indeed. \ Perhaps the charms of Mephistoph- eles lay in his ability to cause inter- esting events. ‘Enter Mephastophilis with dieuls” at a tremendous bound, ed tails flying. “Enter Mephastophilis with a chafer of coles” which immedi- ately burst into flame. “Enter Meph- astophilis” and “Helen passeth over the stage.” She may require a good deal of conjuring and “patience,” but she arrives presently in a white nightgown with, a royal purple cape and golden curls which would ptt the real Helen to shame. The tango bend with which . Helen draped herself over the arm of the learned Dr. Faustus was worthy close study by a body mechanics class, but it scarcely blended with our conception of either, of the famous parsonages involved. | And-finally,—on-one—great—occasion, “Enter Mephastophilis” with dark Lu- ¢ifer,, adorned with a bristling red beard, horns like a crescent moon, and claws long -eneugh to be a _ serious handicap. The result of this double visitation was a pageant of the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, cold in white and: blue; Covetousness, meanly clad in burlap and wildly clutching a miser’s bag; Wrath, terrible in a red straw turban and a purple cape; Envy, green to his complexion; Gluttony, round- bellied and red-faced, munching an ap- ple; Sloth in a white nightshirt; and Lechery, triumph of triumphs, with yellow dress, red face an a tempting eye. Mephistopheles pervaded the Papal scene, although the chief credit here belongs to the friars. The rising cyr- tain\ disclosed a-spacious room with two real windows in the background, -beyond one of which the branches of a pine tree waved. in the rain. Be- yond the other, as-Mephistopheles in- formed., Faustus, was. the “Citie (which) stands upon “seven hills.” Under -a ‘largé’ cross and flanked by two lighted*candelabra stood the dais of the Pope, where in devilish un- concern sat Mephistopheles, swinging one_leg. irreverently.’ The Pope en- tered—in-lomg~ white flowing (?) robes —followed by»three worthy friars who brought him the Sacrament and then fled in holy terror to the accompani- ment of Faustus’ mocking voice and the fire works of . Mephistopheles. They returned in solemn array, and, led by a lean brother with a sancti- monious air, sang a lusty dirge, until Faustus and ~- Mephistopheles drove them from the room and _ returned, shaking with laughter, to echo their “‘Maledicat dominus.” The successful .production of, the supernatural elements to -the shadowing of Faustus was perhaps un- avoidable in-an amateur “performance. Marlowe’s Faustus is a tragic char- acter and a superman, while Mephis- “topheles is tempered. with humor and may be played in a very. human man- ‘ner. The cutting was done, however, to emphasize the character of Faus- fis; and the middle part of the play, which is so poorly written, was moulded to form a natural develop- ment from the agreement of Faustus to-sell his soul,.so the final scene where the price is exacted. By reducing Wagner, who was a jolly clown,, and the disconnected feats of magic to a minimum, a series of struggles of con- science remained, brought to a climax in the misery occasioned Faustus by the virtuous old man. ~ If we came away. less moved by _-tragie“truths” than amused at the un-| Ste , athe tt over-!° Variety Dramatics Varsity Dramatics wishes to an- nounee that it will present “The Constant Nymph” with Princeton the tenth and eleventh of April.
