DRAMATIC PRODUCTION
IS SUBJECT OF LECTURE

Mr. Bertrand Forsyth, Producer and
Author, Speaks On “Grand Man-
ner,” Past, Present and Future

HART HOUSE DIRECTOR SPEAKS

Speaking on “Dramatic Production” in
Taylor last Monday night under the aus-
pices of the Senior Play Committee, Mr.
Sertrand Forsyth, of the Hart House
Theatre, in Toronto, traced the history
and importance of the “Grand Manner.”

“Acting of the old school,” he said, “can
be very annoying if not tempered with
modern thought. In this mad age, let us
assume the Grand Manner in the form of
dignity and simplicity.

“The drama of the eighteenth century
seems altogether idiotic to us _ today.
Campbell, one of the greatest actors of
that time, carried the Grand Manner even
to the breakfast table. His gestures when
he asked for porridge must have been
unbearable.

“It was Edmund Keane who dealt the
first blow to the traditional manner. A
poor little strolling actor, he electrified
London on his first appearance at the
Drury Lane Theatre by making Shylock
a human being.”

But the “Grand Manner,” Mr.
maintained, is not yet gone
Sothern, Booth, Paderewski, Bernhardt,
Duse, all have it. Once he saw Bern-
hardt in “a tower of rage; she then used
the Grand Manner.”

“Even a comedian to be really great
must have a touch of tragedy. Grimaldi
made people cry at the way he opened
oysters. -Charlie Chaplin is a great trage-
dian.”

In regard to the utility of the “Grand
Manner” in the future, Mr. Forsyth said:
“T am not wholly a pessimist, though I
see no signs of spiritual revival in the
babble left behind by the war. No
prophet is to be found. But when he
comes, he will speak not from the pulpit,
but from the stage. We have much to
be thankful for: better sets, more natural
productions, the use for instance of real
tea cups and, of course, better plays. . But
dignity is a lost art. ‘While we are dis-
carding the useless part of the technique
of the Grand Manner, we should remem-
ber to retain at least its dignity and sim-
plicity.”

Hart House Theatre, of which Mr. For-
syth is the director, is a centre of non-
professional dramatic art at the Univer-
sity of Toronto. It works on a non-
profit-making basis and is, essentially ex-
perimental,

Mr. Forsyth has directed plays and
written them, some of which have been
produced in London.

The lecture was given for the benefit of
the auditorium of the Students’ Building.

FACULTY PLAY VARSITY FIRST
HOCKEY GAME OF SEASON
Varsity defeated the Faculty in a up-
roarious hockey game last Friday afternoon.
The chief feature of the game was the
fast running of the Faculty, who tore down
the field brandishing hockey sticks in one
hand. Dr. Bullock, as center halfback, suc-
ceeded in much upsetting the Varsity for-
wards, while Dr. Carpenter’s speed in his
sudden spurts, completely losing the backs
as he raced to goal, was phenomenal.

VALUE OF SOCIAL SERVICE TO
WORKER EXPLAINED IN VESPERS

Not Outlet For Christian Impulses But
Means of Development

“Giving something to others, and get-
ting something out of it yourself, are the
two aspects of Social Service,” said A.
Pantzer in Vespers last Sunday.

“The desire to help others is as old as
the world, and supplies the desire to go
into Social Service nowadays, not as the
impulsive Lady Bountiful of fifty years
ago, but scientifically and thoroughly.
In regard to the volunteer social work in
college, there is a valuable opportunity to
apply the theory of the college courses
by the light of. practical and significant
experiences. In the Haverford classes
you have a tiny but concrete example of
the race problem. You find the results
of the immigration law in the Americani-
zation classes at the community centre.
And at the Blind School you see how at
least partial segregation inevitably
come to those physically handicapped. If
the social worker keeps herself alert to the
broader significance of what she is doing,
her views and ideas will be valuable from
the point of view of research,

“Taken in this way, Social Service
means more than an outlet for your
Christian impulses; it becomes a means of
developing yourself into a more intelli-
gent and broad-minded person, and of
helping in the great work of accumulat-
ing the substantial and pertinent parts of
everyone’s experience for the purpose of

has

furthering the progress of the world.”

Varsity defeated Manheim

The playing was not widespread, being

Throughout the game the play within the

not fast.

A swift rush into Manheim’s goal
opened the game. Varsity passed well.

others, sent the ball through with a quick,

THE CASUAL TASTE
Primness is scarcely a characteristic of

the collegiate bookshelf. In a few idle

moments the editors once tried to gather
statistics on what the college girl reads.

The results were somewhat startling, if cor-

rect. Notes came in to the effect that The
Lost Girl had been found standing side

by side with Enuna, while Alice shared a
shelf amicably with Dorian Gray and The
Second Mrs, Tanqueray. One earnest stu-
dent arranged her library according to size,
so bringing The Decline of the Roman Em-
pire, Ulysses (Joyce, not Homer), and the
another

the

Bible into friendly proximity. In
case the owner, apparently moved by

power of suggestion, ingenuously placed

The Undying Fire together with Flaming

Youth. Pursuing their guileless search, the

editors felt a climax had been reached

when the report reached them of one under-
graduate library consisting simply of Plato,
Jurgen and Corelli. A rush of business pre-
vented the editors from pursuing the in-
quiry further, but the impression lingered

PROPHETS AND PAPILLAE
“Ts there any taste to the white of an

Job’s question comes ringing down the
centuries to us, still unsolved, still one of
life’s major issues, to confront those who

maintain that the modern world has out-

erown the Bible. The perplexity of Job
is very like our own; we are struggling
today with the same problem, Our

minds in a jungle of taste-buds and other

gustatory flora, we still seek the truth:

Does flour taste like cinnamon if you hold
your nose? Does coffee resemble tea if
you have a cold? Js there any taste to the

WALTER DE LA MARE
(Specially contributed by Norreys O’Conor,
Associate Professor English Composition).

All Hallows’ Eve is a peculiarly suitable
date for the lecture of Mr. Walter de la
Mare. No writer of the present day has
more vividly realized that world of the im-
agination with which Hallowe'en is asso-
ciated; to none is the veil between the
known and the unknown, the finite and the
infinite, more translucent; he is acutely con-
scious of the mystery of life here and here-
after. With the understanding of a poet, he
has brooded upon that mystery in the ex-
quisitely chiselled prose of the Memoirs of
a Midget, a book wherein the ability to sus-
tain unfalteringly the point of view of a
lilliputian shows a mastery of technique.
This volume alone goes far to prove the
value of the practice of poetry for high
achievement in the sister art of prose, and
it is as a poet that Mr. de la Mare is most
widely known and, perhaps, best beloved.

None can speak more appropriately of the
craftsmanship of poetry, for no living poet
has greater sureness of touch nor an ear
more delicately attuned to the harmony of
words. His phrasing is straightforward,
with the directness of prose; when he makes
use of inversion, it is to accomplish a
modulation which, though it may prove strik-

ERA OF

“What does it mean?” is a question we



Bruce
last

too seldom ask, said the Rev. R.
Taylor in a sermon in the chapel
Sunday evening. | ©. :

“Curiosity and the desire to put what
we find to the service! of this world are
at the root of all progress.”

Many people, he explained, had seen
that all pigeons when left to themselves
revert to the common ‘blue ‘type, but no-
body until Darwin had asked “what does
it mean?”

Similarly, what does it mean: this uni-
religion? Open-air

versal interest in

speakers on religious topics can always

collect large crowds. “It means that
people are always reaching outside of
themselves, out of their own sense of
helplessness and futility.”

“What does the renewed interest in
sociology mean? It means that for better

or worse the era of individualism has
gone.”

Dr. Taylor is the Principal and Vice-
Chancellor of Queens’ University, Kings-
ton, Ontario. He preached at Bryn Mawr
once last year.

MANAYUNK MEETINGS

(Specially contributed by H. Herrmann, °25)

Here at college we study economics and
politics, or if our schedules don’t allow
that, we may nevertheless get together to
talk over economic problems, with our
goal the bettering of working conditions.

what workers feel about the management

of their factories, how they would like
them run. Do you know that some fac-
tory girls object to even such perfect con-
ditions as exist in a certain hat factory in
the city because they have no voice in the
management? They are not asked
whether they want certain insurances, but

their money is taken for that purpose; nor

are they allowed to organize. Do you
know that there are few or no labor
unions in North. Philadelphia? Do you

know why many workers are voting for
Coolidge?

Last year a few of us decided that we
would like first-hand information about
industrial conditions, and the workers’
view of things in general, and most of all
with people leading a very different kind
of life ivy-framed

THE COLLEGE

To the Editor of

NEWS.

Those of us who have been in college
for four years have been privileged to
watch the beginning of the passing of
Class Spirit as a mattér of paramount im-
portance. We have hoped that it was a
straw, albeit a small one, which indicated
the departure of a much greater evil—
that of over-organization.

The student comes to college an indi-
vidual, or at least the raw material of one.
She has not been here a month before
she finds herself divided up into innum-
erable little units; she is not only a mem-
ber of the college, she is a member of at
least three associations, probably of vari-
ous clubs, committees and discussion
groups all of which plan a systematized
raid upon her time, strength and freedom
of choice. She is obliged to do her work,
play her games, sing her songs, express
her loyalties, even choose her friends ac-
cording to a complex schedule of proce-
dure. She is allowed neither the pleasure
of spontaneity, nor the dignity of choice.

The evil of this is manifold. First of
all it defeats its own ends and. actually
hinders the enterprise it seeks to help.

and class dramatics is obvious.

Secondly it tends to unfit the student
for life after college by making her de-
pendent upon many artificial stimuli for
her actions, by making her four years of
undergraduate completely unconnected
with anything she may choose to do in
the future.

Thirdly it makes college a less pleas-
ant as well as a less worthy place in which
to live. From a place of hard work, fruit-
ful leisure, and enjoyable freedom, it be-
comes a place of bewildering confusion in
which the incoming student is caught up
and tossed about uncomprehendingly for
two years at least.

FIRST TEAM

1925 vs. 1927

1925 defeated the Sophomores first
team hockey game Wednesday, the 22d, with
the score of 3-1.

The game was a close one, especially hotly
contested in the first half, when 1927 led by
one goal to the end. In the second half the
playing of the Reds changed from defensive
to offensive and they swept all before them
in three dashes down the field.

FIRST TEAM

1926 vs. 1928
With a score of 7-1, 1928 was decisively
beaten in its first match game against 1926

last Thursday afternoon.

Little fast dribbling, and much aim-
less hitting back and forth between
the opposing sides, characterized — the

game. Failing to stick to their own terri-
tory, the wings on both teams allowed many
balls to go out.

A few seconds after ‘the started, F.
Jay, ’26, by her persist¢iat rushing, scored the
first goal. F. Bethel;.’28, soon evened the
score by a hard drive from the edge of the
striking circle.

In spite of the good defensive work of J:
Stetson, ’28, and M. Gray, ’28, 1926 made two
more goals in the first half.

During the second half the playing became
more one-sided. M~. Talcott, 26, and W.
Dodd, ’26, repeatedly carried the ball. up the
field. Losing it many-times through late
passing, they each, however, scored two
slashing goals. The line-up was:

1926—E. Nichols, E, Cushman, W. Dodd,
F. Jay, M. Talcott, H, Rodgers, M. Tatnall,
S. Walker, E. Harris, M. Wylie, G. Macy.

DARTHMOUTH STUDENTS OFFER
CHANGES IN CURRICULUM

Report To President Suggests Aboli-

tion of Lectures
(From the New Student, October 4)
On February 14th of this year President

Hopkins, of Dartmouth College, addressed
a letter to ten undergraduates inviting them
to contribute their views as to how Dart-
mouth might “approach as near as is hu-
manly possible to those ideals which a pri-
vately endowed, historic, liberal college
justified in holding.” The students accepted.
1—The Definition of a College.

“It is the purpose of the college to pro-

is

prehensive background of information about
the world and its problems, and to stimulate
them to develop their capacity for rational
thinking, philosophic understanding, creative
imagination, and
to inspire them to use these developed pow-
becoming leaders in

and aesthetic sensitiveness,

ers in service . to
society.”

2—The Faculty—“Whatever be the sys-
tem of education adopted, the faculty will
inevitably determine whether the actual
practice of that system be good or bad.”

“We are . weighted down with too

many men, who . are by nature un-
fitted for the task of lecturing, . . who
lack . knowledge of the subject

or who lack . those elusive yet vital
traits of character which make us say that

1—Virtual abolition of lectures.

2—Long time assignment by topic.

3—Small classes meeting weekly.
4—Office hours for consultation with in-

5—Written work—in the form of short
assigned papers giving training in original
thinking and organization of material.

6—Additional check on student’s work—
making it necessary for him to complete one
quarter’s work before undertaking the next.

For immediate consideration, the com-
nuttee suggested :

(a)—The plan of assigning sections on
the basis of ability.

(b)—The substitution in place of the daily
quiz of “a program of periodic papers of an
exhaustive nature treating one phase or field
of the course in its entirety,” occasional
quizzes in very elementary courses; and the
use of hour examinations only when un-
avoidable during the first two years.

(c)—A middle passing grade with two
grades above and two below supplemented
by one failing grade (i. e. A and B; C; D
and E, and F).

(d)—-That the number of cuts allowed a
student be in proportion to. the student’s
scholastic standing.

Senior Year—

5—Admission—“‘Any discussion of ad-
missions, it seems to the committee, must
begin from the premise that the College
can not accept everyone who raps on its
doors seeking entrance.”

“The committee has not been able to
make a study of the Selective Process (now
in use at Dartmouth) because data con-
cerning its effectiveness have not been avail-
able. But we urge that a study of this
Process be made ” for “we feel
the Selective Process must be perfected
before any curricular reforms can be of
real value.”



1928; WHAT IS THE
STUDENTS’ BUILDING?
Dear 1928:

Of course you have already realized
our great need for a students’ building;
you have already heard that at present
we have no community: centre. We are
forced to rush from meeting to meeting
at opposite ends of the campus, to dive
into the basement of Pem. for song prac-
tices, to litter our rooms with proof- read-
ing and association literature, and to
spend vast sums on a temporary stage in
the gymnasium for every play. But
worse than that, we have to see lots of
students, and often our most distin-
guished guests from Philadelphia, standing
in the hall during a lecture or concert,
simply because we have no large audi-
torium. The commencement exercises are
held every year in the gymnasium. Under
the new fire regulations we .can never
have moving pictures again in our present
campus buildings. “Never another May
day film.”

The alumnae are helping, and with
whole-hearted co-operation on campus,
we will probably be able to raise the
needed $400,000 so that Students’ Build-
ing will be a convenience and reality for
1928.

E. Mallett,

Chairman of Students’ Building Fund.

D. Lefferts,

M. Cruikshank.
