E. L. COOK WINS

(Specially contributed by Dr. Fenwick).
The New York Times Current
Events Contest was. held at Bryn
Mawr on March 4, from 2 till 5.in the
‘afternoon. As in past years the exam-
ination consisted of two parts, the first
- being a long series of short questions
testing the knowledge of the student
‘upon’ outstanding persons or events of
the year. Many of these questions
might seem to the uninitiated some-
what removed from the familiar things
of daily life. Yet when the count
came in, questions that seemed unfa-
miliar to some of the contestants were
easy marks for others. If two “fell at
Khyber Pass, two others fell before Sir
Isaac Isaacs. If Hamaguchi was a
stranger to one, he was a familiar face
to the others. Abraham Flexner was
unrecognized by one of the contestants
and none of the leaders knew the latest
“debunker” of Lincoln, or showed a
knowledge..of the Anglican hierarchy
by ‘naming the new. Archbishop of
York. Few, however, failed to recog-
nize the famous French World War
general who died during the past year
and all answered to the horse who won
_the Kentucky Derby. To the credit of
Bryn Mawr, none of the contestants
failed at the hurdle that called for the
name of the ancient poet, the anni-
versary of whose birth was celebrated
It is necessary to note
that some who made a poor showing
in answering the brief identifications
on current informatig® wrote well on

 

the second part, which consisted of |

longer essays upon a -selection of
_ topics.

The wirtger of the first prize proved
to be Miss Elizabeth Lawson Cook,
31, who won by a neck from Miss
Dorothea Jenkins; ’31. The third prize

~ fell to Miss Caroline Thompson, ’31,

who led by a close margin over Miss
Harriet Moore, ’32. The paper of the
winning student at Bryn Mawr will be
forwarded to the Intercollegiate Com-
mittee, where it will compete with the
winning papers from the fifteen or
more colleges which take part in the
competition: The Bryn Mawr prizes
are $150, $75 and $25 respectively. It
would seem that the New York Times,
in establishing this contest and donat-
ing the prizes, is performing a very val-
uable educational work, by simulating,
on the part of the students, an inter-
est in the important affairs of the day.

Led by M. Frothingham the swim-
ming team beat Swarthmore for the
first time during the four years of com-
petition. . Varsity showed  well-bal-
anced strength, ‘having all its mem-
bers place. The only poor showing
was inthe relay which we lost by a
couple of lengths.

Daniels was again the individual
star. After placing second in the two-
length free style, she went on to win
the eighty-yard free style finishing well
ahead of Pennypacker, who just beat
P. Totten out for second. She also
took a second in diving, pushing
Frothingham closely. P. Totten also

idid her share, winning two thirds and |.

Special Privileges —

The Senate of the College at
its February meeting voted that
the rules .governing attendance
at classes should not apply. to
- senior ‘Honours students either
in connection with courses taken |
with the Major department or
their. courses..in other depart-
- ments. - This action of the Sen-
ate came as the result of a ‘sug-
gestion on the part of the Under-
graduate Curriculum Committee.
It was generally felt, both’ by the
Committee>and by members of
the Faculty, that senior Honours
students would not abuse their
new privileges.

 

 

 

Student Tours to

the Soviet Union

 

For 1931 a number of interesting
itineraries are available for travel to
Soviet Russia, at greatly reduced rates.
Parties ,of ten or more students travel-
ing in Category a: “student third)
may tour the U. S. S. R. for as little
as $5 per person per oe

These daily rates cover every ex-
pense—all transportation from the be-
ginning of the tour to its end, hotels,
meals, sightseeing, theatres, and_ the
constant services of English-speaking
guide-interpreters.

Intourist, the State Tourist Bureau
of the Soviet Union, is glad to’ assist
student groups, or individual students,
to prepare special itineraries covering
any particular phase of Soviet-life they
happen to be especially interested in,
such as art collections, collective farms,
socialized niedicine, legislation, sport
‘societies, industries, social work, chil-
dren’s villages, theatre, cinema, schools,
minor nationalities, hunting and_fish-
ing, communal life, or scientific re-
search institutes. .

Improved hotel accommodations are
available all over the U. S. S.-R. and
new hotels are constantly being built.

Unaffectedness Charac-

terizes March Lantern

 

(Specially contributed by Miss. Goodell)
This latest issue of the “Lantern”
leaves one. with an impression of the
fragmentary. The fact that the greater
part of the space is given to a story
“to be continued” and to a play that
has already been produced, is not made
up for by sufficient solidity in the rest
of the material.
- The poets, in the first place, have
hardly done their share. Only two
serious poems is a poor showing, even |
for the month of February. “Winter
in Connecticut” gives—suecessfully~the |
muffied slowness of a snowfall, with
words and rhythm contributing to an
admirable unity of -effect. A more
interesting subject is treated with
something less of finish in “If He Ask
for Bread.” Its vividness seems to, be
secured at the expense of a little forc-
ing. The more frivolous Muse is rep-
resented by ‘Beauty and the Blue-
stocking?’ “which serves to reinforce

Luckily the atmosphere at the Haver-
ford Union, last Friday night, was thor-
oughly informal and one was not led te

<pect anything approaching a finished
production. During the first play, how-
ever, the audience was a bit disconcerted
by the obvious groping for lines, and the
uncertainty with which the actors moved.
The Rising of the Moon gives a dis-
tinctly dramatic situation whose suspense
Mr. Clough failed to keep up, after a
good -entrance,- and whose intensity Mr.
Gray lost along with his lines.

The story is of a. policeman who does
not recognize the criminal he is seeking,
but who will not allow a stranger to pass
his post. The ragged stranger gradually
melts the heart of this worthy officer
with boyhood reminiscences, Finally he
confesses his identity, just as 4wo under
policemen arrive. on the scene, and he
is subsequently saved by the sympathetic
superior officer. “Mr. Clough failed to
put across his uneasiness, as the crimi-
mal in conversation with the policeman,
and, personally, we would rather remem-
ber Mr. Gray without’ an Trish -accent,
as. the Devil's Disciple, |. ;

Following the Rising of the Moon,
Mr. Morley was introduced and himself
gave a most amusing introduction to The
Good Theatre. This was, as he said, a
maiden performance of the play as far as
he was concerned. The name of the play
arose from the remark that comes glibly
from every New York manager: “The
piece is good writing but it ain’t good
theatre.” It is, Mr. Morley continued,
very difficult to. play and requires the
co-operation of the audience.

Second Varsity Defeats

A patched up second team beat an’
equally patched up Rosemont second
team: 39-30, With each quarter a new
forward was put in with Boyd. The
final combination with Hardenberg at
her regular position was the best for
scoring but at the same time it weak-
ened the defense by moving Bowditch
into the center.

Despite the good: guarding which
she. encountered. Boyd . managed to
make 24 points. Nine moré were added
by. Hardénbergh in her short term at
forward. .-A little bit out of place in
centre Hardenbergh nevertheless suc-
ceeded in getting the ball to the for-
wards frequently although she spoiled
a number of other attempts by goitig
over the line. Engle, scoring two bas-
kets while forward in the secand quar-
ter, was not playing her usual good
game and it -was ‘not until the end that
she began to get started. Le Saulnier
was dependable at guard, being par-
ticularly. good in the last quarter when
she broke up numerous deep passes

The realistic and formal were pleas-

cepted presentation of the well-known
characters and the individual ability
brought by the French Club players.

The character parts were very ef-
fectively done. - L.--Mandell_as_ Chry-
sale made the most of her blustering
and her paunch while M. Jenkins did
the “chimere” scene with such gusto
that her . blurred enunciation was
almost a virtue. M. Mitchell and O.
Jarrett, were absurdly earnest as quar-
reling savants. The straight parts
were admirably taken. C. Lloyd-Jones
as \Clitandré carried. a role which
might easily have been lifeless with
spirit ‘and dignity while C. Compton
as. Henriette added charm. of voice-and
movement to the scengs in which she
played. The costumes and setting also
helped “in delighting the audience:

The major faut of the production
was the tendency of the actresses to
glue their eyes on some magnetic spot
at the back of the auditorium during
many: of their speeches. An occasional
formalism and repetition of meaning-
less gestures also detracted from the
spontaneous atmosphere. of the play as
a whole: The amazing «thing isthe
amount of vitality which \the players,
even in the most minor parts, gave
their roles, and not that some formal-

ity remained. It is also unusual to

It seems to me unrighteous that the
campus, should be disfigured for the
sake of a careless minority. Since
some people will not keep to the4
cement walks in going to the Lib,
a pipe fence has been raised about the
moribund grass in a last hope of de-
fénding it. This.rectangle should—but
does not—make a pleasing foreground
for the building that we show with
pride to our visitors.

‘In other places walking on the grass,
though not so concentrated, is still
serious. The campus cop system is}{
efficient, but not efficient enough for
our needs: this is proved by the fence
I object to. I have heard it said that
“If we keep on walking on the grass
we'll get paths built where we walk,”
and this would perhaps be the logical
solution; but I think something more
than logic is called for. I do not look
forward to seeing Denbigh Green dis-
membered by at least two more paths
(although the Merion. scientific con-
tingent might not agree here). Nor
should I like to, see the Lib rectangle
reduced to “%& gtometrical patchwork;
and when I think of the complex
problems of Radnor my ‘imagination
fails.

‘I personally take to the paths every
spring when the whistle begins to
sound, and leave them only in emer-
gencies. I have found little hardship
in this course. Those who will dis-
agree with me are, I believe, a mi-

Play Review of the
Queen of Chinatown

 

(Contributed in. competition for editorial .

‘board)
Lyric Theatre’
Christopher Morley started a revival in
his Hoboken theatre that has been going
on ever since in the highways and by-

-|ways of this country, but for ‘real success

these melodramas need a reasonably in-
telligent and understanding audience.
When I saw a production of -The Black
Crook last winter, I enjoyed it im-
mensely, but I did not realize how great
a part the audience played in its success
until I saw The Queen of Chinatown
in Philadelphia last Thursday night. TH
audience of the former play had laughed
and hissed, clapped and been silent in the
proper places; in a word, had adapted
themselves to a new form of amusement
with some wit.

.The audience of The Queen of China-
town unfortunately did not know how to
play up to this startling melodrama and
consequently many of the most touching
and some of the most amusing lines fell
flat. The pathos, for it did have a cer-
tain Victorian pathos, ‘was lost upon this
gathering of tabloid readers and college
freshmen and some of the gentlest and

quaintest~ bits” were almost~laughed~ off |

the stage. There was one scene, espe-
cially, that deserved a little understand-
ing. That. was the fare-thee-well scene
between the hero and heroine when she
sang most touchingly, and then handed
her lover, who was about to do and dare
in the streets of Chinatown, a few stiff
paper roses. This was greeted with hoots
of laughter, though the actors obviously
meant their frail little song to have a
hearing.

Most of the rest of the play was fast
and rough in the approved manner, with
several abductions and much. hatchet-
throwing and shooting. The actors all
played with becoming gusto and _ vigor:

Cele McLaughlin as Beezie, the’ Oeen =

of Chinatown, was becomingly tragic and
dissolute, and died in a way extraordi-
nary, jumping up and down three ‘or four
times to give last minutes” messages.
Columbia, the Bowery newsgirl, and
Freckles, the Bowery bootblack, had that
bowery feeling, equalling ,even Danny
Driscol, the Chinatown sport and: vil-
lain, in creating atmosphere. The hero
was an aloof and Christian lieutenant of
thé navy, who posed stiffly through the
play in search of his abducted sister—
none other than Miss Catherine Rieser,
formerly prominent in Bryn Mawr dra-
matics.
even the Bowery newsgirl lacked, and
made the welkin ring with her shrieks
when the Chinaman who had abducted
her tried to get dastardly. We could
wish that she had been Beezie, the vil-
lainess, for she seemed_to have more
feeling for the melodramatic than even
Miss McLaughlin who played the part.

Some of the members of ‘the Hedgerow
Players are in this cast which has. pre-
sented three melodramas at the Lyric so
far, and one wonders just how much of
the management is composed of amateurs
—for although the scenery and direction
was good, the waits between acts were
very long; as the; person on my left put
it so forcibly: “Ho boy, dis is an-inter-
mission show.” Despite the uninspiring
audience _and_ the interminable. intermis-
sions, this company is doing a very amus-
ing piece of work, and it is to be hoped
that they will.keep it up for a while and

not be crushed by lack of response.

the ball got into their hands, while
Bryn Mawr, very closely guarded, was
not able to make all its shots count.
However, in the second half the yel-
low attack began to click with the
whistle and kept on functioning. till
the end. When the centres were cov-
ered McCully got in some long passes
to Collier. Collier, scoring 34 points,
played her best game this year. She
was particularly good on free throws.
In the first half she put in shot. after

by the spot passes she received under

givings, the Good Theatre was very well
recélved. The situation arising from
Bacon and Shakespeare suddenly appear-
ing at the box office of “the play that
makes the dimples to catch the tears,
Your Money or. Your. Wife” is intensely
amusing with very little acti ion, but the
actors succeeded uncomnionly well in
bringing out the humor of their lines,
especially Mr. Teller as the hard-boiled
stage manager. Mr. Parker, as Stranger
Will, was restrained and carried off the
part very successfully. Miss Marshall’s
acting was spontaneous and natural.
Perhaps the high point of the evening
was where she approached Bacon and
Shakespeare with “You boys had better
get back to New.Haven and sleep it off.”

it reads is only testimony to the
author’s dramatic sense, and even :in

mains one of the better outgrowths of:

psychoanalysis.

The title and theme of, Elinor Yea-
kel’s story “Rust” would suggest that
it was an attempt to present the dull

hopelessness of littles lives. Neither
the dullness nor the hopelessness is
quite convincing, -perhaps because a
bakery-shop is, to this reader at any
rate, a place inevitably suggestive of
cheerfulness. Miss Yeakel has told her
story with commendable forthright-
ness and simplicity, but there are signs
of inexperience in the. handling of the
dialogue and in the characterization.
The one branch of emotional restraint
is in the scene shOwing Mrs. Muller
at the! window, where there is a. faint
"reminiscence of those cinema charae-
ters who always open their arms just
as the door has closed on a retreating
figure,

analysis of a scrupulous and fine tem-

from occasional obscurity and .awk-

where mannerism has been dropped

fact that, when combined with so de-

First of all you can feel the difference
as you roll the cigarettes between your
fingers. Camels are full-bodied and
pliable. A dry cigarette crumbles under
pressure and sheds tobacco.

If you will hold a cigarette to each ear
and roll thém with your fingers you can
actually hear the difference.

The real test of course is to smoke them.

_And here’s where the new Humidor Pack
proves a real blessing to the smoker.

As you inhale the cool, fragrant smoke
from a Camel you get all the mildness
and magic of the fine tobaccos of which
it is blended. :

But when you draw in the hot smoke

from a dried cigarette see how flat and

brackish it is by comparison and how
harsh it is to your throat.

- If you are a regular Camel smoker
you have already noticed what proper
condition of the cigarétte means.
