Politzer’s Translations

does not by any means imply, Dr.
Politzer went on, that German
poetry is less independent than
that of other European countries;
it is rather an important aspect
of the great German concept of
“welt-literatur.”

Going on to define translation
as a “major creative effort,” Mr.
Politzer said that the translator
must substitute humility for am-
bition in his task. The renuncia-
tion of knowledge and ambition
involved, he said, are compensated
for by the “new creative vistas”

opened to the poet. Not only must
the translator understand the poem
structurally, but he “has to love
his original . . . despairingly, pas-
sionately, self-forgettingly.”

As he began the reading of his
translations, Dr. Politzer declared,
far too modestly, that he hoped
his own work would live up to his
demands. He said that he thought
some of his translations did. As
he read them, it became apparent
that all of them did. He read beau-
tifully, and with great feeling. The
poems were first read aloud by Dr.
Lattimore in English, with Dr.
Politzer’s translations of them
coming right after.

Junior Member of the \A.\A. Board;

flowers, and tree was rather over-
worked. Some of the speeches,
though consisting largely of fake
‘poetry, were interesting; but they
were, disconnected and lacked unity,
as did the whole production.

The only character that had in-
dividuality was Virgie, and much
of that was implied by Joan Bow-
ers’ fine performance. She played
a frightened woman on the verge
of insanity with compassion and
skill amazing for the brief rehear-
sal period.

Comedy -Melodrama

A Matter of Money, by Harold
Lynch, was the final presentation,
and was the most polished in com-
position, though not in production.
As a “comedy-melodrama,” it con-
cerned an American counterfeiter
working with foreign revolution-
aries, with an undercurrent of the
conflict between idealism and ma-
terialism. Though there were
many instances of labored at-
tempts at clarification and_several
of the conversations were too long-
winded, the play contained an
abundance of original and comic
lines. Especially amusing were the
acid comments on American civil-
ization, revolutions, and _ politics.

As the Irish “soldier of fortune,”
Jack Zerra gave the most lively
performance. His brogue did not
slip noticeably more than once or
twice, and he conveyed his con-
fused state of mind well. Bud
Walker was also good as Captain
Kovak, who might be called “the
character that never developed.”

In all three plays, the actors and
directors must be commended for
staging practically finished pro-

ized by its ability to stand in re-
lation to itself both as subject and
as object. This is not an implac-
able distinction, Miss Stearns de-
clared, but at the same time it
must be maintained that the self
as subject is not identical with the
self as object, as in the classical
example of Aristotle’s God. “The
object becomes subject constantly,
without losing itself.” Discussing
the self in relation to the mani-
festations of each of its three
qualities, Miss Stearns concluded:

Fire Dance and ‘Limbo’ Encores
Add to Gaiety of Square Dance

By Ann Anthony, ’51

A capacity crowd, in about even
proportions of “gents” and “lad-
ies” filled the gym for the square
dance with Penn and Haverford
last Friday night. The yellow-
ribboned hosts and hostesses didn’t
have to urge much to get people
out onto the floor; every inch was
crowded with sets of four couples
skipping nimbly to the directions
of caller ~Ricky Conant. . “Swing
your partner and promenade home
. Duck for the oyster, dig for
the clam ,and shoot on through to
the promised land,” these and oth-
er maneuvers were performed with

 

Ardennes Tour Brings
Back Memories of War

coa with two 40-year-old bachelor
friends, one a musician, the other
a Communist. Both were very in-
terested in “the American girl”,
and kept barraging me with “what
did you think of Roosevelt?”, “Do
all Americans have two cars?”,
“How about Russia?”, and “What
do you think of the New Look?”.
A Bryn Mawr examination seem-
ed easy compared to the questions
that kept turning up last summer.

After a week of helping with the
housework, seeing art collections in
the Amsterdam Museums (includ-
ing some marvelous’ Rembrandt
and Van Gogh), learning chess in
the evening with the boy from
Dutch Guiana and discussing mu-
sic with the Knytysers’ brother,
the whole group of Dutch and
American students went on a boat
trip through the north of Holland
on a reconverted coal barge. Al-
ready I had become very attached
to Holland and particularly the
Dutch. Several of the students had
worked in the Underground dur-
ing the war, and through talking
with them, I began to understand
what years of occupation can do to
a country and a people; I began to
realize what it means to live in a
country which has passed its Gold-
en Age some 300 years ago, but
which is still immensely proud and
resourceful,

Then back to Amsterdam where
I moved in with my second family,
the Swairings. Spent most of my
month with them figuring out ra-
tion coupons, shopping with Kiki,
age 19, talking in the evening with
relations over several cups of tea,
and over the weekends Art Muse-
ums, exploring Amsterdam, trips
to the Hague and Delft.

Gave the Swairings a much-
needed rest when I was packed off
for a week to work on a Catholic
farm outside Amsterdam. Only
one of the eight members of the
family there spoke English, but

 

agility by the dancers. The Schot-
tish sent the couples one-two-three
hopping around the gym. To
shouts of ‘‘Fire, ‘fire, fire, fire,” the
couples advanced on to the next set
in the Fire Dance.

The square-dancers caught their
breath while some of the Freshmen
sang their show songs. Katusha
Cheremeteff, who had been pre-
vented from doing her “Russia’s
So-o-o Cold,” in the show because
of an infected foot, was on hand
with the “Tolstoy family” to sing
of the “Reds turning blue.” Bar
Townsend and Caroline ‘Price gave
a peppy rendition of ‘Good-bye
Bryn Mawr, We’ve Had Enough.’
The poker song was sung by Tuc-
ker Marks, Ellen McIlroy, and
Ginny Hollyday. Using a fencing
foil for her broom Trish Richard-
son, who played the maid in the
show, sang “The Morning After.”

During another pause in the
dancing, Dick ‘Cameron from Hav-
erford sang cowboy songs, accom-
panying himself on his guitar. His
“Blood on the Saddle” was the eli-
max of his very entertaining per-
formance.

Doris Hamburger and Janie
Stone, who were in charge of the
dance, deserve much credit for the
success of the evening. It is hoped
that there will be more square
dances in the future. A student
from Haverford announced the for-
mation of a folklore group. If in-
terested, see Janie Stone or the
gym department for further in-
formation.

somehow it didn’t seem to matter;
the only important thing was to
get the oats in before the sun went
down, and the boys could always
use sign language to teach me how
to milk a cow!

The next week a complete change
of atmosphere, when I went from
piling oats and hay on Holland’s
flat, often below sea-level, farm-
land, to hiking through the Arden-
nes in Belgium with the same
group of Dutch and American stu-
dents. Belgium indeed is the land
of plenty compared to Holland. One
Dutch girl had her first banana in
9 years! Our first stop was Bruges,
as mediaeval an atmosphere as I’d
ever felt. However, almost com-
pletely destroyed villages in the
Ardennes, reminders of the Battle
of the Bulge, soon brought us ab-
ruptly back to the 20th century.

A short visit to Paris and 4 days
with my family in Amsterdam
made the last two weeks in Europe
almost the best. I no longer felt
ill at ease with the Swairings and
could discuss everything from In-
doneia to the morals of the young-
er generation without being afraid
that the slight language difficulty
would make things sound the
