English Instructor Comments on Vassar
Version of “Dear Brutus”



(From T:he Vassar Miscellany of March 1)

It is no fun at all to review a play when
one knows that one’s disparaging remarks
will never meet the eyes of the offending
party—for I have an idea that James M.
Barrie will never know how sincerely I de-
precate certain weaknesses in Second Hall
performance that are due not at all to girl-
ish inadequacies of director or cast, but to
the too girlish inadequacies of Sir James
himself. ;

One saw, in this performance rather more
than in any other I have seen here, the evi-
dence of a director that directed, I find myself
thinking. of the play as a whole, not of the
work of individual actors. The cast was
remarkably even: in ability—which showed
that it: had been skillfully chogen. The roles
were all acted with a sincerity and earnest-
ness. befitting. the intent of the play, and
with all the humor for which there was op-
portunity. That the cast could carry at all
the ludicrous and slow beginning, the
touching moments of Lob prattling on the
floor to his flowers, or waxing lacrymose
over his need of being loved, or the benig-
nant Coades, is the Sign of exceedingly sym-
pathetic and simple acting. These moments
were bad, and the end of the play too in-
differently acted to be effective, but Barrie
gave, in his lines, _Jittle material for any
actor. to. work on.)

Lob’s anovements and appearance . were
excellent ; Dearth’s change of mien in the

| M. Buchanan, ’24, Talks in Chapel on
Clothes and Money Needed



“Bates House is essentially something
belonging to Bryn Mawr,”s said M. Bu-
chanan, 24, speaking in Chapel Sunday
evening, March 21. .

Miss Buchanan went on to explain that
Bates House is at Long Branch, New
Jersey, where groups of forty children
come from Spring Street in New York
for a two weeks’ stay. The house was
rented by Mrs. Bates, the wife of the
pastor of the Spring Street Neighborhood
House, and lent to Bryn Mawr, which
has run it every summer for twelve years.
Recently _ it “bought by Mrs, Bates
and turned over to'the college completely.
It has’a permanent staff and volunteers
from the college go down for a week at
more.

“The duties of the workers range from
laying linoleum to taking the whole group
to church. ‘Clean-up week starts the day
after comméncement under the direction,
of Mrs.. Romano, has been thére
since the beginning. Working >in this
way at all sorts of jobs, the Bryn Mawr
girls get to know each other very well.
There is time for swimming and free eve-
nings as well. This week is really great
fun.”

are frightened at first and all are frantic.

Although Abyssinia represents one of
the simplest and most primitive civiliza-
tions behind it stretches a stain-
less history of three thousand years during
which it was never once conquered, -Accord-
Abyssinia was founded by
Menelek, the son of Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba. After being educated -
in Jerusalem until he was twenty-one,. he
was forced to leave the country accord-
ing to the ancient laws of succession. But
since. Solomon was extremely fond of
Menelek, Solomon ordered one thousand
eldest sons from over the whole country” to
accompany Menelek and they
founded the ancient kingdom of Axume,
Abyssinia. In the fourth

After Mrs,
Forbes began the-account-of her extra
ordinary trip. Starting at Jibuti, the only
port of Abyssinia, the party* boarded a
train for Dire Dawao. ‘This was the only
part of the journey which was not made
by trekking, and even here there are only
three trains a week. At Dire Dawae they
started out in earnest and reached Har-
rar the first day. Harrar, Mrs, Forbes
described as a very quaint village where
the gates are shut at nightfall and the
women speak a special dialect which even
their own ‘men-folk cannot understand.
It is situated in the midst of an extremely
fertile country, where rice and all sorts
of grains and coffee grown, Harrar
also is the meat market of Abyssinia.

It happened to be the time of the
Epiphany when Mrs. Forbes reached
Harrar and therefore she was able to see
the ‘elaborate festival which the natives
hold in celebration of this day. Accord-
ing to tradition, Menelek is supposed to
have brought the state ark of Jerusalem
with him when he founded the kingdom
of Axum. In the feast of the Epiphany
the priests therefore carry copies of the
ark in the processions. They spend a night
of vigil and the following days are spent
in giving sermons which sometimes last
a whole day and in doing sacred dances
before the ark. The priests carry curious
prayer crutches when they dance and
they refuse to be separated from their
parasgls. In fact, the latter is an éstab-
lished fashion among all those of high
station in’ Abyssinia.

At Harrar they stocked up for the long
trek through the southern hill country.
Here Mrs. Forbes also obtained her cook.
The party thus consisted of Mrs. Forbes,
Mr. Jones, the camera man, and various
guides, interpreters, riflemen and porters
and fifty mules which were the pack ani-
mals.

ABLUTIONS IN TAYLOR

Cleopatra bathed in milk, Diogenes spent
most of his time in a tub (which was always
left as he wished to find it); but last week
the statues of Taylor turned Baptist. ‘The
Ivory floated about the merciless Nero, who
fiddled unconcerned while Rome__burned,
gaped with amazement through the suds,
wondering if ‘Thursday morning could pos-
sibly be the modern equivalent of the an-
cient Saturday night. The heroes of: the
Pax Romana frowned and sighed for the
Baths of Diocletian. They mourned that it
is now impossible to do as the Romans did.

DOWN WITH THE

Who knows definitely when the word
“ton” is used what is meant thereby? Or
“quaft,” or “bushel,” or “ounce?” To
many who are concerned with the elimina-
tion of waste in commerce and industry,
the realization has come witha shock
that English-speaking peoples are yet
governed in their trade transactions by
crude measurements which are survivals
of barbarism. Every country in the
world except America and England has
the metric system—the decimal system
of weights and measures—meter, liter and
gram. It has been‘estimated that the in-
troduction of this system in America
would save almost a year of mathematics

in the schools, and the calculations in-
‘volved in bookkeeping and trade transac-

tions would take almost half the time now
spent on them. :

The only objectors to the introduction
of the metric system in the United States
are the manufacturers of machinery, who
think it would require a change in their
drawings and machinery which would be
expensive. It is significant, however, that
none who have made the change will tes-
tify that it is costly, but say, rather, that
the saving in time and reduction of mis-

takes make their business ame profitable.

For our own sakes, we ought(to do away
with the irrational English weights and
measures, just as 140 years ago we did
away with their currency system. Once
this is done we would be in a position to
have a larger share of the world’s trade,
tecause we would produce more eco-
nomically and we would also be supplying
our products in the sizes which the rest
of the world wants and understands.

“New Voters for Old.”

The purpose of this group is to bring
into the electorate of the:United States a
new, well-informed, unprejudiced and un-
fooled element. This is getting at the
root of the evils of government as it 4s:

A’ PLEA FOR JUSTICE

To the Editors of the Contec News

In reply to the criticism of Pillowship
heard in several parts of the campus we
point out that the skit has not been quite
fairly Considered. It has been criticized
from a biased attitude. It has been accused
of “having only one metaphor” (and that
an “objectionable” one). We remind the
audience that-out of seven scenes, four
(scenes 1, 4, 5 and 7) had nothing to do
with this metaphor, Is it fair to condemn
an entire production for. dislike of three
scenes (2, 3 and 6, we presume) ?°> We
should also remind ourselves our accusérs
that there was’ no reference, even in a sin-
gle word, to ¢ertain sources of material
featured in the three ‘preceding Fellowship
skits. What is the good of tact and deli-
cacy when they are never noticed? . Though
Queen Victoria may no longer sit on the
rthrone, we are quite willing to hear ‘the
criticism’ of Victorian minds; but we hoped
for more accuracy of observation. "The

Raw meat is a favorite dish .of the
Abyssinians. Mrs. Forbes said it was
necessary to give the men, a raw meat
feast every so often to preserve their good
spirits.” One slide showed them devouring
huge chunks. In olden times, they are re-
ported to have eateh living flesh.

Finally they arrived at Adis Ababa, the
capital of Abyssinia, although it consists
of nothing but mud huts. At one end are
the British quarters and the palace {also
composed of mud huts) and at the other
are the native habitations. The Abys-
sinians lead their whole life in the open.
The market place of Adis Ababa was
very interesting, but unfortunately food
was not sold as already they had réached
the--mountains.. where food» was very
scarce. Adis Ababa also boasted a prison.
It is usually empty, however, since the
prisoners are not fed. Severe crimes are

punished, moreover, by slow. strangula-
tion.
“Abyssinia,” said Mrs. Forbes, “is the

only place awhere women do little talking.
The reason is obvious—they are required
to speak the truth.’ At each wedding
there must be two guarantors for the hus-
band, while the bare word of the wife is
sufficient. In the event of any trouble, the
wife is then always summoned as a witness

she should then:lie, the judge has her

Along the way they stopped at Lalibaba,
which, because of its many churches,
might be called the Jerusalem of Abys-
sinia. The whole city is hewn out of the
solid pinkish rock and consists: of three
levels—the ground level, the level of the
streets and courts and below this a
labyrinth of tunnels where the dead are
buried: ‘The legend runs that in the Sixth

six hundred slaves, he is said to have ac-
complished this feat in twenty-three years.

this legend.

visions herg nor could they obtain mules
and horses are of no use. Leprosy was
rampant in the town. They also had diffi-
culty in -getting guides, as the Abyssinian is
not by nature a traveler and there were no
maps to aid them,

Their last stopping place was Axum.
Here the religion of the old world died
and the religion of the new world was
born. Nearby is also the battlefield
where Menelek drove back the attacking
forces of. the Italians and where Abyssi-
nia vindicated once for all her claim of
being unconquered.

Fora more detailed account of this re-
markable journey, Mrs. Forbes referred
to the book she has lately written, pub-
lished by Macaulay and bearing the same
title as the lecture, From Red Sea to the
Blue Nile.

PANIC PRECIPITATED BY
: REFUSAL OF MERGER



League, Far From Impotent Resumes
Activities in September



Speaking in Taylor last Tuesday evening,
Dr. Fenwick: digéussed the events of the
week, both domestic and foreign.

“The decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission not to permit the Nickel Plate
merger precipitated one of the most sensa-
tional panics in the history: of the stock
market. The commission did not, however,
mean to prevent all railroad mergers; they
merely did not like the form of this one.

Under the Anti-Trust Act, preventing
“contracts in restraint of trade” the commis-
sion: has for a long time vetoed all mergers,
even when they seemed to benefit the public.
Competition, they declared, was the law of
American business, even in public service
corporations, for competition was the only
way they knew to lower rates.

During the war, the railroads, were first

over by the Government. People came to
realize the great economy of a unified con-
trol, so the Esch Cummins act was passed,

timé the railroads didn’t want to combine.

because the
commission. does not want mergers, but be-
cause they thought that control was passing
into the hands of a small directorate, giving
rise to minority control. °

As for foreign affairs, the Council of the
League, unable, through the intransigeance
of Brazil, to reach a decision, adjourned
until September” It seemed at the time a
crisis for the League, but now it appears
that good has come from it. It has drawn
France, Britain and Germany _ together.
Briand eulogized the German delégation,
Chamberlain spoke of them in glowing
terms, and Stresemann himself made a
speech of dignified acquiescence to the post-
ponement of Germany’s entrance, declaring
that his country will stand by the Locarno
agreement.

Much discussion has" been stirred up on
both sides of the water by the reported re-
marks of Alanson B. Houghton, American
ambassador to the court of St. James, who
is said to have declared that the League was
lapsing into impotency, that Europe did not
disarm -and—worst of .all—that
she did not want our intervention. As a
matter of fact, the League is stronger.



A CRITICISM OF THE NEWS

There has been considerable criticism of
the News. current; it is the sharper for the
very vagueness of the dissatisfaction that
causes it. It seems to me that there are rea-
sons for this feeling worth looking into.

Firstly, many of us would be happier if
the News showed: more evidence of policy
or critical standard. There is a painfully
saccharine flavor, for instance, about write-
ups of plays on campus. Informative re-
porting on productions at which most of

and I think it would be more agreeable to
the actors themstlves to read discrimifating
criticism, unfavorable, if need be, than the
present “appreciative” articlé, in which one
feels that with each detail a new, way is
sought of saying something pleasant.

This applies also to- lectures, though
somewhat differently. The chief purpose of
a lecture write-up is to inform those who
have not heard it. They are interested in
the drift of the speech, and in interesting
details; also in what kind of a speaker he
was, rambling or concise, stimulating or dull,
charming or businesslike, a man of thought
or a man of convictions. Was he humor-
ous? ‘Was he interesting? Is he worth
going to hear another fime? This sort of
impression is not given by a merely faithful
account, in which the desire to be very ac-
curate does away ‘with the tgue impression.
If direct comment is fed seta there
ig room for subtlety in conveying all this.
A judicious “at. some length” or “in con-
siderable detail” &vould convey worlds to
an understanding campus,

With a definite critical attitude in play
reviews, a-keen psychology in reporting, and
wide-awake editorial comment, the News
might become an organ of some weight,
whose opinions would be respectéd and
eagerly read. As it is, it does not matter
so. very, very much what the News thinks.

In. the second place, we feel a lack of new
and fresh material, and the over-large
amount of ‘space devoted to the material
there is. Coming down to solid fact, it is
not the news bulletin capacity of the paper
that they want
something interesting to read, Unless the
pride of a mothering faculty is sufficient
support, the News should go farther afield
for gathering reading .matter, for, unlike a
university of four or five thousand, Bryn
Mawr is not* self-supplying in this respect,
at least not as yet.
