DR. PETTY, EXPERIENCED SLU

WORKER URGES BROTHERHOOD



Justice, Not Philanthropy, Can Make
Social Readjustments



“What does:it méan to be a'Christian?”
asked Dr. Ray Petty in chapel last Sun-
day night. Dr. Petty is Pastor of the
Judson Memorial Church, _New York
City, ;

“The modern Christian needs to be

something more inclusive than a mere

individualist, liberalist, creedalist or mor-
alist. It is not enough to live by the old
golden rule of doing to another as you
want them to do unto you, for many
people want things done to thent which
are not Christian.

“Most matters of importance we turn
over to specialists. Who is the expert
in Christianity? Not “the bishop, the
priest—but Jesus. ‘If any man wills to
come. after me, let him take up his cross
and follow me.’ :

“We believe: in trying out hypotheses
in laboratories. The only way to tell if
Christianity can remedy the social mal-
adjustment is to try it out as it has neve
yet been tried out. Either Christianity
has infinitely more in it than we have yet
discovered, or Christianity is not ade-
quate, Religion has played too much with
sentiment. We have cheapened our re-
ligion with clap-trap evangelism. Jesus
did not come to organize a sham battle
or a holiday.

“He stands for justice and brotherhood,
not philanthropy. It isn’t enough to cure
a baby of rickets, if you send it back to
the same crowded three-room tenement
opening upon an air shaft. It ign’t enough

- for a skilled dietician to reorganize a poor

fanfily’s food budget if you let the in-
dustrial system remain so cruel and soul-
less. °

“Brotherhood is the thing. We sing it
in Our songs and use it in our poems and
the only thing wrong with it is that. we

. 8
don’t believe it. Some day our states-
men may be Christians, Then we will
have peace.”

supposed. He achieved real dignity in the
moment of the unveiling of Lady Teazle—
this “Lady Teazle, by all that’s damnable”
being rendered eloquently in voice and ges-
ture. Charles and Maria, played by Miss
Swift and Miss Adams, were admirably
cast. Particularly noticeable in this fortu-
nate pair was the beauty and grace of their
voices and. reading of their lines. Charles’
great moments were those in which he begs
“little Premium” to see that his ancestral
portraits ‘are genteely conveyed from their
old home—“for most of them, I assure you,
were used to ride in their own carriages ;”
in which he toasts these same portraiss ;
finally in which he closes the play with one
of those periods so dear to the shearts of
the old school in drdéma. He was essentially
the younger brother of fairyland—happy
in temper, fortunate in love, gallant in bear-
ing. Miss Adams’ Maria was done with
much charm and subtlety. Here indeed
was the. perfect jeune-fille—who can be the
most tireséme of creatures, who in these
able hands became. instinct with sophisti-
cated simplicity.
Around these couples the rest of the
cast made a particularly fortunate group.
Sir Oliver was played in. the farcical man-
ner, and in that manner was excellent.
Moses, the Jew, and Sir Harry Bumper
achieved with their slight parts a geniine
response from-the audience. Careless gave
his famous song with spirit and charm, and
contributed greatly to what was really a
very effective drinking-scene. It is in the
skill with which parts. like Mrs, Candour’s
and Crabtree’s were taken that one realizes
the tremendous advantage Varsity Dra-

matics have over class plays.

met with the greatest success of the eve-
ning. The, insidious Snake, to whom is
allotted the unenviable task of starting the
play and giving the audience all the neces-
sary information, was skillfully played by
Miss Ling. ‘

It remains to discuss ‘three of the very
interesting interpretations of the evening—
those of Lady Sneerwell, Sir Benjamin
Backbite, and Joseph Surface. Lady Sneer-
well one cannot. praise unreservedly, ‘for
when one considers her in relation to the
rest of the cast, in relation to the School
for Scandal,, as of course one thust: con-
sider her, she seems to have been done in
too sombre a key. She belonged, as inter-
preted by Miss Grayson, not to comedy, but
to tragedy. And yet this Lady Sneerwell
was certainly developed accurately and ab-
solutely from Sheridan’s: own words. She
was malicious, yes, but, above all, anxious.
Here we had a strangely harrowed Lady
Sneerwell, whose gestures,whose eyes were
full of suffering. Sir Benjamin, as acted

by Miss Morse, was oneyof ‘the most able

performances of the play. A true exquisite
in bearing. and manner, this Sir Benjamin,
with just enough ineffable silliness in his
delivery of his own epigram, just enough
ineffable malice in his description of the
lady, “whose head is modern, while. the
trunk’s antique.” Finally Joseph Surface,
perhapg¢ the most challenging of the rdles of
the School for Scandal, was played in a
truly accomplished manner by Miss Lomas,
The flexibility of voice, gesture, facial play,
brought to this part was particularly notice-
able. We shall remember for a long while
the Joseph of this production—Joseph mask-
ing with his hand the cruel smile as he goes
noiselessly to, join the ladies at cards—

arrogantly crossing for his final ‘exit, un-
abashed in his defeat, still the courtly, the
perfect hypocrite.

‘In the first heat of the 60-yard hurdles ,

D. Lee, '25, and G. Leewitz, ’26, ran down
abreast, giving by far the most spec--
tacular ‘exhibition, although G. Leewitz
by--a~spurt-at~the énd won third place

"27, hurdling with beautiful form-and with
great speed came in first with 9.35 seconds

‘The hundred-yard dash was a very ex-
citing event since B. Schieffelin, ’27, who
ran easily, and H. Guiterman, '28, tying
with G. Leewitz for first place, ran against
each other in the second heat and were
neck and neck ‘to the tape, which they
crossed at 13.15 seconds.

Ending the meet came perhaps the most
thrilling event of the day, the relay race
which was easily won by ’27. Starting
swiftly, A. Newhall, ’27, outdistanced: the
other Class runners, while H. Parker, '27,
remained ahead and B. Schieffelin, '27,
finished first in nice form.
