HUGE SUCCESS AT BRYN MAWR
Me, Litiredei Th
per cent. of the students registered
‘three periods, of community singing: on
the exercise slips; and“ semé: took se-
veral classes a day. ~ a.
"During ‘his week's stay, Mr. Lawrence
held classes morning and afternoon, in
‘which he taught rhythm drills, the rudi-
ments of beating time, and the exact
way of leading several familiar songs.
Two students from each class were
selected by Mr. Lawrence Saturday af-
ternoon, to form the nucleus of the com-
munity singing club. Under the leader-
ship of Miss Dowd, they will continue
the classes, organizing new rhythm drills
and arrange for the students to lead
sings at the community center.
Gave Typical Community Sing
Wednesday night Mr. Lawrence led
a sing in the chapel with the same pro-
gram he uses in street sings for children.
Afterwards he showed slides of a sing
in New York, some of them illustrating
the new “Singing Wagon” devised for
daylight sings. Among the pictures of
noon hour sings in industrial plants
were some of quartets, glee clubs, ani
bands, that had been formed by the em-
ployees as a result of the sings.
In a-short sing at the community
center Thursday night Mr. Lawrence
demonstrated many of the principtes he
had taught and showed several tricks
for making an audience laugh.

Encouraged. hy the enthusiasm stirred
up in New York. by community singing,
Mr, Lawrence is using it in industrial

the employecs’ loyalty towards the plant

Blasco Ibanez Due Here in March

Senerita Derade Acts as interpreter fer
thenez In New Verk
Blasce Ibanez, Spain’s greatest novel-
ist, is coming to Bryn Mawr on March
20. Ibanez is touring the United States
to gather material for his new American
novel, in which he hopes “to try to cor-
rect many of the wrong impressions
which foreign countriés have of the
United States.” :
During his stay in New York, Senorita
Dorado gave him a luncheon, after which
she translated the speech he made at the
Auditorium of Wanamakes's on “The
Spirit of the Four Horsemen.” She also
acted as his interpreter for the newspa-
pers in Boston, and im his interviews
with John and Lionel Barrymore, who
are planning to stage his novel, “Blood
and Sand.” Senorita Derado interpreted
for him again when he talked with Mary
Pickford abeut the play he is writing
fer her.
America's enthusiasm for Ibanez was
shown by the ovation he received at the
reception given him by Charles Frohman
at the Lyceum Theatre, where the wour
en almost mobbed him for his signature.

“VARSITY OVERWHELMED BY ALL-PHILADELPHIA, 8.0
Loses Last Game of Season
Losing its big game for the first time
in three years, Bryn Mawr was crush-
ed 8-0 by All-Philadelphia last Saturday
in the final game of the season.
With the exception of M. Warren, '21,
left half-back, the full Varsity team lined
up when the whistle blew. The All-
Philadelphia team was made up of five
players from Philadelphia, two from Ger-
mantown, two from Lansdowne, one
from Haddonfield and one from Mer-
jon, most of whom have played here
many times before. E. Biddle, '19, sub-
stituting for E. Read, left full-back, was
a former Varsity player,
Lack of force and aggressiveness on
the part of the Varsity forward line,
slow peasing and weak shoating, kept
Bryn Mawr from scoring. The halves
and fulla fought hard, and again and
again checked the rushes of the All-
Philadelphia forwards, sending the ball
up to the wings and insides, who fum-
bled and hesitated until the opposing
halfbacks were upon them.
Vigitors Ceacentrate on Right Offense
On account of the formidable barrier
set up by Captain Carey at center half,
and B. Weaver and E. Donahue on the
left, All-Philadelphia used Miss Condon
constantly, who made speedy runs on

On Saturday evening, December sixth,
the Graduate Club hallowed a new tradi-
tion by producing a play. In choosing
Lawrence Housman’s “Prunella,” with
its meagre demand upon the scene-shift-
er and costumer, the graduates set an
admirable precedent.
Now a graduate is supposedly a Be-
ing sui generis, with no other diversions
than those of attending afternoon classes
and preparing unnecessary reports upon
irrelevant topics. Saturday evening gave
us all a very delightful indication that
the rigor of scholasticiam is uot a rigor
mortis, and that to be charming one
dogs not have to expend stores of time,
money and energy on doifig elaborate
things. Indeed, the producers showed
an almost Gallic instinct for getting ef-
fects by wholly simple means. The
scenery was admirably unelaborate; a
straight hedge across the stage, a burst
of paper tulips, and a few sprays of pa-
pilionaceous but botanieally not fur-
ther identifiable blossoms, a house-wall,
and finely carved but inexpensive bust of
Cupid gave the spirit of a prim and trim |
