JACKET” COMES § TO
BRYN MAWR
On Saturday, May ist, at 8
“YELLOW
. m,, the
e “Yellow
Jacket.” The performance will be given
for the benefit of the Belgian Relief
nagium. Reserved seat tickets, one dol-
lar, may be obtained from Dean Maddi-
son, Treasurer of the Play Committee.
The “Yellow Jacket” is one of the most
well known, of recent plays, running in
New York for five months last year with
crowded houses. The play is described
as a Chinese drama, produced in the
Chinese manner. It is the presentation
rather than the story which is unique.
All the details of a Chinese theatre are
faithfully carried out from the imported
costumes, rich with real oriental em-
broidery, to the property man who, in
the performance of his duties becomes
intensely interesting to a western audi-
ence. The mother, in dying, ascends a
ladder to heaven, and by the simple de-
vice of holding a cloth in front of the
victim’s head an objectional character is
easily beheaded right in front of you.
Yet even the amusement and curiosity
aroused by these, to us, odd bits of stage
business, do not take away from the
story itself, which we are told has an
interest all its own.
The Coburn Players have won distinc-
tion as interpreters of classic drama.
During the last ten years they have ap-
peared under the auspices of almost
every educational institution in Amer-
ica. Every detail of their performances
is most carefully worked out, “every
scene is a delight of shade and color, and
every costume true to character and
period.” It is also interesting to note
that the players pride themselves on
their clearness of diction and that the
actors are selected with this in view as
well as for their acting ability.

SEMI-FINAL DEBATE NEXT WEDNES-
DAY
Teams Are Chosen
The end of the debating season is near.
Next Wednesday night the first semi-final
will be held. The resolution is upon a
subject of general interest and one which
has been a general favorite this winter
in intercollegiate debates. In fact, this
evening Syracuse and Cornell will be de-
bating it in Syracuse. It is: “Resolved,
That. the United States shall increase her
armament.” The Senior team is, Hatton,
captain; M. Free, H. Taft, and 1. Foster
(a}ternate); M. Senior captain, EB. Hough-
and later working under Signor Tyrone;
Miss Wesson, French style, learning first
at Bryn Mawr and later being a pupil of
Major Ranlet of Boston.
The matches were good and much en-
joyed by both the competitors and the
audience. The Varsity team, under the
able captainship of Edna Rappallo, was
the best all-round team that the under-
graduates have yet produced.

BRYN MAWR HOLDS FIVE WORLD
RECORDS
Bryn Mawr at present holds the records.
for College women’s track events for the
broad jump, the hop-step-and-jump, hurl
ball and 75-yard dash, with Randolph
Macon second in the first two events, and
Syracuse in the hurl ball, and Lake Erie
in the 75-yard dash. Bryn Mawr and
Lake Erie tie for the record in the 100-
yard dash. Vassar is the first in the bas-
ketball throw and in the baseball throw.
Randolf Macon is first in both broad
jumps and second in the hop-step-and-
jump. Syracuse is the first in the 50-
yard dash and Wells has the best running
high jump.

Randolph Macon has an interesting
system, for they have adopted a rather
low standard in each event, and every
inch or tenth of a second over this stan-
dard is counted one point for each com-
petitor. Each class can enter five for
‘every event. and is handicapped if there
are not five that come up to the standard.
It is thought that this gives more chance
to the average competitor, while it does
not diminish the honor of the individual
star.
