in .prcetection of her love, and the
Idio. s suicide.

Esterlee Hutzler, °45, dancing
the part of Rodrigo, showed a
gréat ieeling for the rhythm and
meaning of the music. The
strength and variety in her in-
terpretation was extraordinary,
ranging from the ready insolence
of her arrogant dance with the
gnomes, and the agony of her
“toothache dance” after the curse
of the gods, to the quiet emotion
of the love scenes.

The role of Louise, danced by
Eleanor Borden ’46, was very ex-
Her adoration of
Rodrigo, and her despair over the
discovery of her lover returning
from a robbing raid, were well in-
terpreted, although the »majority
of her dancing relied a little too
much on poses and long graceful
walks to be completely effective.

The part of - Aunt Sourpuss,
done by Ellen Harriman ’46, was
highlighted by expert caricature.
Her simpering coyness as she con-
sented to dance with a tall hand-
some stranger (the Devil) in the
first scene, contrasted sharply
with her real grief in the tragedy
of the last scene, showing her to
be an excellent actress as well
as a master of dance technique.

Nina Montgomery ’45, playing
the Devil, danced with a strikingly
dashing lightness. Although she
necessarily remained in the back-
ground throughout most of the
play, she was continually conscious

of the part, her motions and facial

expressions indicating
impersonation.

Further subtlety of_interpreta-
tion was shown by Ann Gillilan
746, as the Village Idiot. _In spite
of the lengthiness of the solo
dance in the first scene, the pathos
of the Idiot’s love for Louise as
he offers her a branch in token

complete

of his adoration was moving The’

awkward, rhythmic unevenness of
-the movements in the “mad”
dance: was also extremely: telling.

.. Although..cast—in-.minor-
Mary Dumm, instructor in Biology,
as the Greedy Wizard who at-
tempts to cure Rodrigo’s tooth-
ache, and Estelle Morrison ’45, as
a companion thief, gave their parts
an originality and _ individuality
which showed real ability and
feeling for the dance.

Prevuricated Prognostications Hit Campus

As the Oracular Ouija Board Speaks Forth

 

Because of heartening results
students have recently been at-
taining with the ouija beard, rep-
resentatives of the departments
of Philosophy and Psychology
have decided to quiz the supernat-
ural systematically. .The faculty,
when consulted, stated that the
ouija board was functionally
sound. Mr. Weiss, in fact, assures
us that it is an admirablé instru-
ment for answering any questions
that philosophy can’t.

Ouija boards are rampant. They
are rather contrary, but with ex-
ams where they are, many feel
that any answer is better than
none, -~Fhe ouija~ board tends to
aim above the target on marks, an
admission which must be made in
interpreting this scientific investi-
gation. However, our questions,
‘like exam marks, are too pressing
to be ignored, and cannot be ans-
wered by anything at all.

We humbly inquired of our ouija
‘board how it felt, whether it-would
tell us anything, and whether or
not it was there. It felt fine, had
lots to say, and was on the beam.
With thoughts wavering between
ideo-motor action and the stupen-;
dousness of our.task,.wé posed the
fateful question, “When will drink-
ing be allowed on campus?” Un-
equivocally the answer came—
49870.” (So far so good. “Will we
ever become co-educational?” This
-drew....forth..a--vehement “NiO!”
Feeling a little depressed, we ask-
ed it if there would still be a Bryn
Mawr in 9870 and it said “yes.”
We asked, “What will it be like?”
Then came the answer, “DULL.”

tions, we asked if it knew what it
was saying and it assured us it
did.

We abandoned ‘this mournful
subject, and raised the question,

Not believing our psychic vibra-|-

history of the college?” The ouija
board felt strongly that 1899 was
the best class. We demanded to
be told why, but all the ouija board
would say was“SSHH!” Hurt to
to quick, we humbly inquired what
ailed us. To this vital question all
that came forth was “WPG’—
(interpretations?). _We shouted
“Come, come!” whereupon it
spelled out “NO MEN.”

This was not all. We asked the
ouija board for a message, hoping
for consolation, and only got, “GO
4 WHY STAY?” “Is: that all?”
It said “no.” Its final word was

“Good-bye.”
Despair was settling down. The
experiment, expected to  over-

estimate our wildest ambitions,
fizzled. Only one thing remained
to be done. “Ouija board, are you
telling the truth?” Salvation came
with the answer, “NO!”
