Synge Play Presented
Here By Abbey Players

Interpretation Has Depth and
Poetry, But Dialect Is
Hard to Follow.

COMPARED TO CONCERT

One of the largest audiences we have
ever seen in-Goodhart attended the per-
formance of the Abbey Players on No-
vember 10, and the many who had been
attracted by the promise of. “musical
speech” could not have been disappointed.
For the Irish dialect with its falling
cadentes and pure vowel sounds was a far
cry and a welcome one, from the “snuf-
fling nasality” of. a vitaphone age. — Per-
haps the most outstanding characteristic
of the Irish speech is its power of con-

‘-yeying sympathy, through its flexibility

and softness. Then, too, no opportunity
for variety of tonal color is lost, although
the key is always minor. Many of the

- words, as, for example, the name Flaherty,

have no accentuation, and so heighten the
flowing effect of the whole. Listening
to the players, then, was like listening to.
music, but unfortunately there are other
reasons.for.drawing the-analogy between
the performance and a concert;.for often
the-didlect was-as-void-of titerat-associa=
tion as is a piece of music. By that we
mean simply. that no words could be dis-
tinguished. Of course, we have always
the acoustics of Goodhart to blame, but

even these do not normally muffle sound:

in the. middle of the first section. What
we have most to regret in the present
case is the fact that a play was not’chosen
whose language’ would be more under-
standable to those -unacquaitited with the
Irish idiom. For instance, such sentence
structiire as “And it’s lies you told, let-
ting on you had him slitted, and you

nothing at all,” is not easily grasped, but

when it is combined with such words as
“loy” we can hardly be-expected to gather
how a man killed his father, or even that
hé-did at all. And the fact that the ‘“‘Ris-
ing of the Moon” was. given almost in
total darkness was _of_little assistance to
us in foNowing the plot, since very little
of the action was visible. Moreover, no
play, and certainly not this one, which, to
us at least, is sentimental without the re-
deeming Irish qualities of wit and imagi-
nation, can be made to depend on lines
alone, however melodious the voices may
be. And we were disappointed not to find
in these the naturalness which one would
expect from a company which has been
playing together for a long time, and
which is so necessary to the establishment
of whatever atmosphere there is in the
play; Mr. F. J. :McCormick was. stiff
even for a sergeant, and showed none of

Drs. Fenwick and Wells
Speak Armistice Day

War Result of International
System; Co-operation of
Nations Necessary.

FUTURE UP TO YOUTH

+

On Armistice Day last Wednesday
there was a special chapel in Goodhart
conducted by Professors Fenwick and
Wells. Dr. Fenwick opened. by ex-
pressing the belief that-it is the inter-
national system not-the heart of human
nature that is all wrong, and Dr. Wells
said that it was up to the present gen-
eration to remove the “shadow of war
from the face of time.”

“Tt is thirteen years siice the end

of the World War,’ began Dr..-Fen-}

wick, the end of four years of suffer-

ing when 10,000,000 men were dead or

dying and 20,000,000 niore were dead
of hunger, disgase and privation, The
tragedy of the war was the-tragedy of

nations honestly fighting in . self-
defense. There was much glamour
connected with the marching troops

going toward death but the real feel-
ing of the people at the time is illus-
trated by the following incident: A
peasant woman was weeping in a: trol-
ley in Berlin and as she had difficulty
in untying her handkerchief to pay the
guard her fare he askéd her-what was
wrong. Her nswer ‘was ‘simple. but
it held all the misery of despair as she
said: “My 4 An is gone to the war.’
The view of a suffering human was
that war took from her the one thing
that-made life worth living.

One cannot believe that the heart
of man is all wrong, yet it is-bad when
you get people killing each other con-
vinced that they are fighting in defense
of their own liberttes.
something wrong with the. whole sys-
tem that allows such things.to occur.
How can we remedy it? The day can
come when we will,say. to each nation
“You shall not be the ‘judge in your
own case.’ At that time a whole com-
munity of nations in cOmmon council
shall take control of the nations.

In 1914 the interest of each country
was its own worry but we now see
that on grounds of material and eco-
nomic interest other countries must be
considered. ~Down™ in the of
people such interests that cut across the
national lines draw us together in a
bond. “In conclusion,” said Dr. Fen-
wick, “I suggest that we give ourselves
to this cause and realize that individual
self-seeking must give way to a Mew
order of co-operation.”

EMERGENCY JUSTIFIES

PERSONAL SACRIFICES

 

Miss

body in a special chapel last Friday

Park addressed ,the student
niorning, on the. unemployment situa-
tion and what she feels should be the
reaction of Bryn Mawr students to it.
She spoke first of “the reasonable ways
of giving’ by whyich students in the
past have met certain responsibilities

for organized outside work, such as

Sates House and. the summer school, |

as well as occasional emergencies”
which can be met by a single’ timely
gift. Any spectacular giving is im-
possible since “that great educator, the
cast-iron allowance,” does not put most
of us in control of much money,

The present situation does; not “fall
into fegular-organized college giving
nor individual college giving. ... It-is
too big and too sudden...’ An-ex-
cellent parallel may found in the
family budget, where sudden and great
expenditure caused by au “accident or
an illness completely upsets the neat
apportioning the to the
needs of normal life. Such an. emer-

ment must be made.

College Council Discusses

A meeting of the College Council
was held on Wednesday, November
11. The questions which have been
brought up in the News of allowing
more time for milk lunch and of allow
ing victrolas and radios in the’ stu-
dents’ rooms were discussed. No de-
cisions were reached but both subjects
will be considered again in the Coun-
cil and the suggestions regarding milk
lunch will be brought before the faculty
at its next meeting.

There is, probably no-student in-col=
lege who is not feeling: the strain to
some degree; many of us are limiting
our expenditures to the barest necéssi-
ties. ‘College itself is feeling it; the
percentage of partially dependent stu;
dents is raised this year from the cus-

tomary one-seventh to one-third, But

these are only additional reasons why

dents. It is the problem of every in-

To the accusation that college stu-
dents are unable to grasp the emer-

Give Thanks and More

Thanksgiving has always, within the memory of most-undergradu-
ates, been a time of unthinking rejoicing—partly because of its traditions:
but mostly because it is a holiday. A change im'the feeling for Thanks-
giving could not ordinarily be suggested since it involves breaking down

the carefully cultivated habits of years.

Art extraordinary year however

there are valid reasons for urging the thoughtless to analyze the meaning
of the festivity, and the thouglitful to act upon their conclusions.

' On Thanksgiving we are expected to be grateful and humble because
of the goéd fortune we have had. Our own good fortune is, of course,

closely bound up with that of our family and friends.

In such a.contcep-

tion there is no room for the people who have not been as fortunate as

we.
not know has no bad effects.

In years of prosperity, such mental neglect of the people we do
When the world is not prospering, failure
-to.consider.the- great cnumber-of_the-unfortunate-is-criminal.....<

We are far from advocating that a spirit of gloom should be aes

ishéd during the depression.

On the contrary the duration of the* present

depressed economic~state will probably correspond directly to the dura-
tion of the low spirits and fears for the future which have marked the

past year.

When we urge Thanksgiving celebrants to consider. the situa-
_tion of other people-as well of themselves we are hoping they will realize

the seriousness of the position of many who have always needed help and

of many more who have never before known want.

Words.are_inade-

quate to express human sufferings, but they are the only possible means

of reaching people who might have no contacts with the problems which
will face families everywhere this winter. —

There.is a way by which the economic pressure on people can be

relieved until world equilibrium is regained.

That is the purpose of the

United Campaign which started a drive last week for nine million dollars

to be-used.in helping the unemployed.

Bryn Mawr can aid in attaining

this goal if every member of the college will recognize her responsibility,

and by contribution, however small,

support the relief work. Uniform

methods of carrying out our share of the general drive»have not been

completely worked out at college.

There is a feeling that an organized
drive would demand too much from the student’s
fere with the drive for summer: school.

s pocketbook aaa inter-

in many cases and the halls will be better able to work out for themselves
the problems of fund raising. Too great emphasis can not be laid; how-
ever, on the fact that most students do have money for oecasional week-

ends, for movies, and for tea.

The college is not asking that they give

their-extra money for-the campaign ; it is asking that they make sacrifices

in order to save a small amount for that purpose.
There is no reason surely why sacri-

saving have already been suggested.

Practical methods of

fice of luxury should be reserved for Lent and the resultant savings will

accomplish a great deal now.

We are not: pleading that ft pinag of thanks be omitted this year for

we realize the spiritual value

the day.

We are urging that this year

giving of thanks be combined with giving of more -material objects of
appreciation since only these can help the sufferers in the immediate

- future.

The Editor CotLece News.

 

Dear Miss Editor:

I have noticed with much interest
the report, by Miss Butterworth, in
Tue News for October 21 of the first
monthly meeting of the Student Indus-

- trial Group with the statement’ made

by the speaker that 43% of the income

of this country goes to the property
owners, and only 57% to..the. workers.

It seems.to.me worth while ‘to cor-
rect mis$tatements of this kind, as such
faulty premises lead to wrong conclu-
sions. The true facts are as follows
for 1928, this being the latest year for
which figures are available. See “Na-
tional Income and Its Purchasing
Power,” also United States Govern-

M ttes-

storekeepers were not included, but by
distributing their income between

wages and returns on capital and add-

ing them to the above, the total figures
for the entire income in the ®Bnited
States in 1928 are as follows:

 

Wages oeialrcseccossvores «ese10168,000,000,000
Return on capital ............ 16,000,000,000
Total gross income ....$84,000,000,000

> It is quite definitely a fact, therefore,
that property owners received under
20% Wf the national income instead of

43% as Stated by the speaker of the
evening
Moreover, most of our” capital is

owned by the’ salaried people and wage
earners, so that they also receive most
of the income on’ capital.
ist per se therefore receives a very
small percentage indeed of the gross
income of the country. Eighty years
ago when Karl Marx wrote “Das Kap-
ital” the distribution of income in

Western_Europe-was-estimated_to_be} that—any—mprejudieed—observer—could |

Palestrina’s, “Tenebrae

dramatic program, was done with an
intensity. which a professional chorus
might envy, and here, as in the. “O

The choir, under the direction of
Mr. Willoughby, shows a fine sense
for dynamic shading, which was espe-
cially apparent in the rendering gf Vit-
toria’s “O Vos Omnes.” A contra-
“Bene-

finished a manner without a great deal
of careful training and hard work.
Moreover, the tone throughout each

We have so often. admired Mr. Wil-

program, that further praise@yould
seem like starting the proverbial coals

say that whether it is a Couperin por-

never fails to do honor to the com-
poser.
“There is one more feature of the

| Sunday ‘night's performance: -which--we-|-+
have yet to commend.

And that is
the singing of: Bach chorales by the
audience as well as by the choir. This
is an innovation which we hope will
become permanent. Not only are -the

chorales far superior to the hymns as

music” but, if -we may judge ‘by the
other night, they’ provide an oppor‘
tunity for the audience to enter with
real enthusiasm into the service, and
we were very grateful for the neat
folders which had been prepared. We
can imagine nothing nicer than for the
college ‘to know some really good
music. Next time we may be able to
sing the chorales without first hearing
them on the piano and by the choir.
But if. the program was a little Aong

TEACHER’S VIEW SHOWN

 

Mrs. Manning spoke in chapel this
Tuesday on the regulation of attend-
atice of classes as the Undergraduate
Curriculum Committee and the News
have brought up the question. She
explained that there are different ways
of looking at the matter and that any
system of unlimited cuts would doubt-
less necessitate, the regulation of the
amount of nights allowed each student
away from college per semester.

This is the first time the subject has
been approached from the administra-
tive point of view, putting forth the
attitude ‘of the teacher.as the party
most affected with a system of unlim-
ited cuts. There is nothing novel in
the situation here at Bryn Mawr; one
can. find similar situations and ap-
proaches in all universities and colleges.
It is a misfortune that upon entering
college one is given liberty in all other
fields and not in the optional attend-
ance of classes and:there are doubt-
less a great many defects to the pres-
ent system of having the students take

fect machinery could be work
be through, the hiring of 'g ad nan
sionals which would be an of
expense, as the fault of the present
system .would be in favor rather that
an injustice to™the students.

ways a few individuals who took week-
ends from Wednesday to the following
Tuesday but they were scarce, as the

the campus... There would, however,
always be these three points of view
to consider in instituting the system.
Firstly: that of the students who have
experiénce of the present system. Each
one inevitably thinks of: it in connec-
tion with herself and the majority of
them: would undoubtedly know their
own limitations and would make allow-
ances. “On the whole I agree with
this,” ‘said. Mrs,.-Manning; “the indi-
vidual can often judge better for her-
self.’ But then consider the other
two groups. The second would be the
Freshman point of view which can be
applied to any class which was reteiv-
ing the privilege for the first time.
One-half of her reaction would be based
on her own experience and the other
half on hearsay which so often includes
that element of hero worship of the
debonair individual who claims that
you can get away with any amount of
cutting... The third-and perhaps the
most. important point of view is that
of the teacher.
“aginary about the effect of the absence
of a large proportion of the class on
the teacher’s lectures. Often the time,
effort, and the effect of a comprehen-
sive attack wf the subject is completely
lost if several of the~‘students are:

Swarthinore Loses to

B. M’s First Victory Over Rival
in Three Years Is Won by
Fighting Attack.

__

ALL-PHILADELPHIA. WINS

 

On last Thursday the Bryn Mawr
varsity defeated its traditional rival,

Swarthmore, by a score of 5 to 3. For
the last two years Swarthmore had
been the victor and Varsity entered this
contest determined to win, and it was
this determination which counted heav-
ily in the final score. Varsity displayed
excellent teamwork in both its offense
and defensive play, and each individual
fitted into her position well. The
Swarthmore left inner, Stirling, scored
twice during the first half, but Rem-
ington with two goals and Moore with
one put Bryn Mawr in the lead by the
end of the half, 3 to 2; In the left
half Moore and Remington ‘scored,
while Varsity limited Swarthmore to
one goal in this period, making the
final score Bryn Mawr, 5; Swarthmore,
3. The team displayed a strong at-
tack, but the victory was largely due
to a tight défense. Swarthmore kept
the ball continually in Bryn Mawr’s
territory, and only excellent play on
the part of the backs prevented more
scoring by Swarthmore.- The. offense
took advantage of its opportunities to
score, and although the actual shoot-
ing’ was done by Moore and Reming-
ton, the other. forwards passed | well

in the feld and rushed well in the} —

circle. . Bryn Mawr deservess-great
praise for its victory, for it defeated
a strong team by combining a_ stub-
born defense with a fighting attack.

to score’ was not-due to any weakness

‘on their part but to the superb All-

played a perfectly co-ordinated game
throughout both halves, bit their for-
ward line, which scored five goals dur-
ing the first period, let up in the sec-

Just as Joe was going to climb out
of the leaves. Red arrived with a dar-
ling blue and \white bathirobe, so. every-
thing was all right again. Joe looked
awfully cute in his bathrobe and de-
cided to wear it to the game. We
thought it was sort of funny, but then

were ready and we started... We rode
out to the game on a street ‘car, and
had lots of fun standing on the run-

ning-board. Jim and Harry couldn't

seem to stay on very well—once Jim

fell off and rolled into the gutter and
a lot of little boys jumped all over
him before he could. get up. Harry
said it was because they-thpught Jim
was a penny, but I don't really see
‘how they could. He- was sort of flat
when they got through though. “We
finally got to the game and it was too
wonderful.

Jim and Harry said we could have
anything we wanted but we didn’t buy
much. We each got a bannef for
Pralevard arid the Ministers’ College
too, so we wouldn't hurt anyone’s feel-
ings, We also got feathers,. programs,
buttons, arm bands, popcorn, coca-cola,
and cones. It was sort of a load so
we asked the boys if they would carry
the things and they said ‘“‘They’d love
to.” Boys sort of love doing most
anything, I guess. We were taken to
our seats by the cutest little Boy Scout
you ever saw—we had-some- trouble-or
account of we had to climb over some
people with all the packages, but we
got all settled after a while, . Betsy's},
feet were cold at first so jim’ wrapped’

them up in Joe’s bathrobe—Joe didn’t] °

need it during the game, he said. . [|
Spilled some popcorn down the neck
--of the man*in front of me, but he was
awfully nice about, it—until my coca
cola bottle slipped and poured in his
collar—he got mad then, but it really
wasn’t my fault, it’ just slipped.
Finally the game started; they put the
ball in'the middle of the field and. blew
a whistle, everyone ran, it didn't seem
to matter where they went, and they
were awfully rough. One even
stumbled over the ball and kicked it
way up in the air. Another boy caught
it and started to run away with it but
lots of boys ran and caught him—they
all ended up in a pile—it was too funny
for words. Then’ everyone just lined
up and jumped on each other while
one little boy ran off with the ball.
I asked. Joe what the idea of the game
was and Harry said “To go on a
bender”—whatever that is—but Joe
-said it was to get the ball over a white
line at the end. Betsy said she thought
the boys who had the ball could get
to the line quicker if they didn’t run
toward the other team, but ran the
other way. Joe said that wouldn't
work—but I don’t see why not. They
threw the ball around in the air a lot,
“but no one ever caught it ’cause the
boys just kept. knocking each other
down. . Honestly, it- was the silliest
thing! I asked Joe why they didn’t
keep out of each other's way, so every-
one* would have a chance. Harry said
something about “covering the re-
ceiyer,” but I didn’t see what tele-
phones had to do with football. Joe
said I was just dumb but I don’t see
why. I think football's what's dumb,
but then I’m only a girl. Finally
someone carried the ball over the line
and everyone stood up and cheered and
threw things. A big bottle hit the
man I sat behind and he said some-
thing ‘about “college idiots,” but “1
didn’t understand that either. I didn’t
know idiots could go to college—at
least not to boys’ colleges.

We finally -got home, but. Joe and
Red got lost looking for. their roommate
“to get a drink of water.” Jim and
Harry took us back to the hotel and
we got dressed in our best peach party
frocks and then we went to the dance.
Before we went we asked ‘the boys if
we could have some more cider, but

survey among its members and a first
presentation ofthe findings to a. group
of social workers, economists and: edu-
cators brought out the -fact that this
study of what has happened to the
‘trained women in the economic crisis
is the first-of its kind. There is to be
a conference on this subject on No-
vember 27 and 28 at the American
Women’s Association Club House on
Fifty-seventh Street in New York with
prominent speakers whose deep and
abiding interest in the problems of
women is well known. This year the
conference is being opened to college
students and special rates in rooms and
meals being given to them.

 

Present Dilemma. Discussed

by Industrial Group

 

7

There must be a.central body to of-
ganize and regulate industry if, the
present economic dilemma is to be
avoided in the future. This conclu-
sion was reached at a discussion meet-
ing held by the Student Industrial
Group on Wednesday, November 11.
Such a- committee of experts would
plan industry scientifically, would act
for higher wages, shorter hours and
social insurance. Stress would be laid
oh educating people to the new plan
and on ‘political action.

The meeting included industrial
workers from the Germantown and
Kensington Y. W. C. A.’s, and Bryn

Mawr students. There was no speaker,

 

but after supper a discussion of points
made by Andrew Biemiller at the last
meeting on the causes of our present

workers, to advise on industrial man-

Book Review

“Two People,” by A. A. Milne.
E. P. Dutton and Company, Inc.,
New York, 1931.

A. A. Milne has written a fairy story,
a mystery story, and a play, but “Two
People” is his first attempt at the
strict novel form. So one opens it
with a curiosity, and a_ predisposition
to like it if only for the sake of .Chris-
topher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh,
Reginald Wellard, gentleman of leis-

ate newspaper, means anything. The
ability to “neck,” a close resemblance
to Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and
Joan Crawford, and also a soft voice
are absolute requirements, according
to the -answer received.

The questionnaire shows that more
freshmen smoke than those who don't,
while the non-drinkers exceéd those
who do drink by 165 votes, as com-
pared with a slight margin the other
way last year. About sixty per cent.
of the class are undecided as to their

the legions of unknown books, but
this does not trouble the: author very
materially because he has money, his

‘beautiful wife, Sylvia, and the country

place which was just a setting for her
beauty, Westawa#s. Suddenly “Bind-
weed” catches the eye of London’s
leading literary critic, Raglan; he re-
views it as the Book of the Week; and
it leaps, with its author, into fame. At
the same moment winter arrives and
the Wellards move to London. Sylvia
is busy with housekeeping and the so-
cial round where she is a very desir-
able person; and Reginald is busy with
literary people who want articles and
speeches, with the dramatization of his
book by Filby Nixon, and with the
rehearsals of the play itself. Sylvia
meets and goes out with the promi-
nent, likable, but disreputable Lord
Ormsby; and Reginald meets an old
love, the actress Cora Bell, and
watches her rehearse for the play of
his own book.~There-is-an- almost im-
perceptible drawing apart of the
Wellards, but in each case the adven-
ture proves hollow and rotten at the

one likes it best-are Reginald Wel-

that the Wellard household did not go

they usually are, and human nature as

Sabatini Speaks on

‘Fiction in History”

 

Continued from Page One

tion is the love of decorating fact. We

"know the entire history of William Tell;

« there are chapels to his memory built on
the scenes of his most famous adventures ;
and for 500 years he has been an in-
spiration to Swiss patriotism. The ele-
ment of romantic chance in his ‘adventures
provoked some curious intellects to in-
vestigate his story and it was proved that
no such man as William Tell ever. existed.
Some acretions are so obscure as not to
be recognizable, but they may almost al-
ways be brought to light by investigation
of sources, and detection ‘of incongruities
and illogical elements.

In the sources of history, namely
diaries, letters, and memoirs, much has
been written falsely through lack of in-
formation, or by plain purpose. Vanity
and propaganda are the worst influences,
and the latter especially at the time of a
change of dynasty when ‘people need as-
surance that the change is for the better.
We all know the deformities and ugliness
of character that Thomas Moore, and
Shakespeare following in his steps, laid to
Richard III, while John Stone says he
is “comely enough.” The very bitterness
of the first two makes us suspect preju-
dice, and no remaining portraits show
him deformed. Nor were the princes ever
prisoners in the tower, for the tower was
then Richard’s residence. A great deal
of other evidence exists to prove that
Richard did not murder the~princes, per-
haps the most significant being that after
-Richard’s death-Henry—V-H-gave-out-the
death of the murder as 1483, and the
house accounts show that “the princes
were alive in 1484. In the history of the
House of Borgia religious and political
hatred have done great injustice, for it

was written under a rival Pope. ;

Love of the sensational and fhe tempta-
tion to improve on: a- story cause the
synthetic mystery. The greatest example
of this is the story of. the Man inthe
Iron Mask where the attempt to explain
has. made the mysters*—Facts show. that
the mask was made of velvet. with steel
springs, that there was.no one in Europe,
at the time,-of the rank, of “Monseig-
neur,” that the prisoner’s name was reg-
istered as Marchjoly, a name belonging to
no language, and identify him with an
Italian of a similar name who. was .kid-

napped and imprisoned by. Louis XIV:
The opposite statements .of Napoleon’s
positionand~achievements~in™ his “own

memoirs and in those of his colleagues
of the directoire,_prove—how—vanity—can
warp fact.

History is an example of how difficult it
is to bear false witness without betraying
_one’s self. A greater satisfaction than
that of blind acceptance comes from ap-
proaching history by: the “touchstone of
truth, the logic of the events.”

 

No ‘Specialists’ for Frosh

Columbia University undergraduates
have recently voiced their grievance
over the practice of handing. over the
freshman and sophomore
young instructors with “specialized. in-
terests.” The critics hold that under-
classmen need. the older
and experienced teachers than
the guidance of young specialtists in a
single field. . This criticism brings™to
light the vdlue of the new plans. for
teacher training in which the student
is given—a—well-balanced training, in-
cluding actual laboratory experience
as well as classroom work.. ,It also
shows the timeliness of the new tuto-
rial systems and house plans fast be-
coming popular in this country.

Play Review

The performance of “King Lear” by: the
Stratford-on-Avon Players in their re-
cent series in Philadelphia was disap-
pointing. The: play itself is not a com-
position, but a vehicle-in which to set
the character of Lear. It calls, therefore,
for an actor of rare and colossal talent
to make of the one slim plot and the
more stereotyped minor characters an
inspired play. This makes “King Lear”
one, if not the, hardest Shakespeare play
to act, and for that very reason it is
seldom done today. There is no doubt
that the failure of the Stratford Players
to put this play across was only because
they -were tackling something etoo hard
for them..

Randle Ayrton put-his utmost into the
title role and at least the part was played
sincerely, but from the beginning to the
end of the play Tear was decrepit and
doddering without sense of authority, and,
one often felt, without brains. One felt
sorry for this poor old man, but one
missed entirely the full tragedy” that
Shakespeare conceived in bringing about
the fall of majesty and authority. Ernest
Hare as Edgar, son to Gloucester, did
the best piece of acting, especially in the
comparison of his mad scene to Lear’s.
Geoffrey Wilkinson also did a very de-
lightful court fool. Kenneth Wickstead
as the Duke of Cornwall was actually
objectionable, doing nothing but bluster
loudly. The scenery was good when it
was kept simple, the worst exception
being the storm on the heath where the
attempt at thunder and lightning and
blowing clouds was ufsuccessful. There
were, however, some beautiful staging—of
scenes “with tableau quality in which
lovely costumes played_a—large—part-and
the great. doors of the castle, or the

camp in the last. scene and- the grey
clothes in contrast to Lear’s red mantle
in the gtorm scene were the most suc-
cessful pieces of staging.

The Stratford Players have lost. one
or two of.their best actors from last
year, and- this -vear’s company ‘seems ‘to

be lacking in the ability to carry out its
objective. The company; with its train-
ing .in Shakespeare’s native town, has
endeayored to produce his plays as: he
conceived them and as they were_prob-
ably acted in his day. This includes an
equality among the characters and a mas-
tery of the language. The actors in
“King Lear” spoke their lines badly, and
the noticeable loss of some of their bet-
ter actors scems to prove that they are
not capable of catrying a Shakespeare
play without some strong actor, or actors,
to bear the burden of the performance,

Communism in North. Carolina

The fair young ladies of North Caro-
lina-are well on their’ way to being self-
supporting. Hairdressers, manicurists,
seamstresses, cleaners’ agents, sales-
women for different products advertise
their services or their products on.col-
lege -bulletin boafds.

These girls are now talking of run-
ning the campus on .a communistic
basis. The girls will raise the raw ma-
terials; manufacture the products, con-
sume them,. and thereby reduce
expenses to almost notling. It is un-
derstood that “a petition for the
establishment of this plan will be
drawn up when the leaders of the
movement have straightened out details.
