broken; This difficulty, however, was
nothing compared with that faced by
three dancers from another pole whose
ribbons all broke almost simultane-
ously as soon as the mésic began.

The fainting of one of the beefeat-

~ ers as the court was progressing from

the Greene to the scene of The Cre-
ation, caused Dr. Leary to'have all of
them dismissed and ordered to get out
of their hot costumes, which weighed
over ten pounds each. The audience

must have noticed the concentric cir-
cle gesture on the part of all the
dancers on the Big Greene, who with
one accord wiped their hot and slip-
pery hands on their pants with the
first pause in the music.

Many students overheard strange |

comments. and questions among the
spectators, such as the query of one
old lady to her companion as to
whether this celebration was really
given by Bryn Mawr students, or was
-it the exercises of Shipley School?
Another member of the audience asked
a student to direct her to the scene of
Gétterdammerung’s Needle.

One of the guards’in the Dream
found room to carry in her trousers
a camera and films, and she also took

=a pillow, a thermosbottle of grape-

juice, a box of crackers, a towel and
a handkerchief to her off-stage posi-
tion in the bushes.

Germans Do Not Pull Boners

Those unhappily delegated to, cor-
rect German orals this spring must
have felt decidedly cheated, as not a
single “‘boner”. popped up to amuse
them.

The French examination, we are
relieved té-say, shows more imagina-
tive results. The French army (and
one irl believed it to be a “gelded”
,one) “was camped, every night, at the
foot of a damp plain—-(L’arme au
bras) “arm in arm?’ “Les dragons
autrichiens” were ingeniously tndns-
formed into the “felonous dogs.”

Especially provocative was the
phrase, “s’entretenir de . bagatelles.”’
“Play bagatelles,” “play marbles” and
“believe in the constellations” were
given for what we’re sure you know

means “to speak of trifles,”’

English Actress Finds
Diction Extremely Good

 

er
“Timing and Organization Perfect,
Colors, Movement Balanced”

 

Among other notable visitors to
May Day who left filled-with enthusi-
asm over the production, the Honor-

able Sheena Campbell well known on

the London stage and the American
radio, found on Saturday afternoon
“one of the most beautiful sights of
her life.” “The timing and the or-
ganization were perfect, the colors
and the movement balanced. As the
procession wheeled around‘and came
past the Greene I stepped back into
the past and felt strongly the illusion

 

handling of the pageant and for the

splendid organization evident every-

where. Of this May Day it may in-

deed be said:

“Oh, fame, say’ all the good ‘thou
mayest

Too little is that all thou sayest.”’

 

of an Elizabethan pageant.”

Pleasing to Bryn Mawr ears is the
news that “the diction was extremely
good. Old English is very difficult to
speak well with meaning and without
breaking the form.” Miss Campbell
saw only the three new plays and the
Masque, all of them new to her. The
Creation was. the most entertaining
because of .its humor, its quaintness
and its complete naivité.

On her fifth trip to America, this

is her second visit to Bryn Mawr,
which she finds delightful in the
springtime, when the “buildings,
grounds and in particular the Clois-
ters, appear at their best.” The past
theatrical season in New York she
found very much alive and full of
“wonderful production—a definite: in-
dication that the drama in America
is not dying. The contrast in coming
over from England for the season is
very interesting, for the pace is so
much faster here.. Production in

London and New York is constantly |

coming closer together and the ex-
change of plays is greater than ever.”
