et THE COLLEGE NEWS. 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. Books will be placed on reserve this Wednesday, and the tryouts, which will be held at the end of this week, will be announced in the halls. A paper will be posted ‘on the bulletin board in Taylor on Wednesday for all those interested in working at construction, cos- tumes, and _ properties to sign. Signing: up for this technical work will not prevent one from trying- out or receiving a part. Because of the need for ready cash with which to transact such business: as is nece$sary before the play, the Board is urging everyone who is interested to make them a loan of one-dollar. This will not be ‘considered a contribution, but will be repaid as soon as possible. There will be a: representative in each hall to-collect these loans. gilded neck of the ‘Chorus, neverthe- less, we owe to Haverford our heart- iest thanks for an opportunity to ap- preciate more fully the wonderful color and drama latent in Marlowe’s Dr. ~—— Bureau of Recommendations Recently the Bureau of Recommend- ations has received a letter from a de- partment store in Baltimore which reads, in part, as follows: “For some years, large department. stores. have been offering to college students a course in store background for the purpose:.of..developing-potential-execti- tives. I should like to present the pos- sibilities of future. positions for some of the members of this year’s graduat- ing class who may be interested. The department sfore “special train- ing course” trains the college student in all branches of the organization Over a period of-six moriths to one year. During that time special abili- ties reveal themselves and preferences are expressed, due to contacts with every phase. of the business...In our present organization, executive posi- tions in Personnel, Advertising, Com- parison Shopping, Tea Room work, Office work, Buying and Merchandis- ing have been filled from the college training group. : I feel that the opportunities. for women in the business field have not been presented to the college graduate up until _recent-years. I am‘ interested in this not only from the point of view of the~store~but from the point of view of the splendid opportunities in business for a college graduate. In. this connection, one might’ also mention the New York University School of Retailing, which offers schol- arships and fellowships to college grad- uates interested. in work as a career. Another organization in which stu- ‘dents may be interested is’ the Child Education Foundation at 66-70- East 92d Street, New York City. . This Foundation, a pioneer in the field of child education in this country, was the first organization to. prepare teach- ers for work with children of nursery age. It-has three departments and a training school for teachers, ‘a Chil- dren’ Home School,..and an Advisory Service, A recent. letter from. .the Foundation says, “Among the most worth while of the professions, the nursery school field holds forth almost unlimited possibilities. The demand for our teachers is far greater than our supply and is constantly growing. We are, theerfore, always on the look- out for the right type of young woman to prepare for this vital work. “If any of your teachers or students would like to visit the children’s schools’ affiliated with us and see the actual work being done with the chil- dren of this age, we should*be glad to make appointments for them. As these schools include children of all nationalities, creeds and colors in day nurseries, missions and settlements as well‘as the private school, we should like to know each visitor’s preference |, when: making arrangements.” The Charity Organization Society in New. York City has vacancies for visit- or-in-training positions,’ and for hold- ers of fellowships in the New York School of Social Work; in both cases a small salary is paid while the individ- ual; is receiving special training. —~ Students who are-interested in any of these types of work may get more detailed information. from Miss ‘Crane, department store. > = Mrs. Sloss Suggests Mrs. Margaret Fleisher Sloss will give her second talk on Contemporary Litera- ture in the Commons Room, on Wednes- day, March 19, The subject’ of the lec- ture will be “The Sophisticates.” Mrs. Sloss has given the News a list of the books she plans to discuss, For those who have the time at least to look over these novels, the talk will be increased of the first of the series, The novels on the list are as follows: That Capri Air—Douglas.
