Dr. Carpenter Returns
From Leave of Absence



Has Headed American Schools
of Classics at Athens
and Rome

EXCAVATED AT CORINTH





For six years Bryn Mawr. students
~have been hearing the name-of. Dr.
Rhys Carpenter, of the Department of
Archeology, mentioned as that of one
of their most distinguished professors,
but the phrase “on leave of absence”
has always been regretfully appended.
Now he has returned, as President
Park said, “trailing clouds of glory
in his wake.”

In 1926 Dr. Carpenter. was went

to Rome to fill the post of Director of.

the American Academy at Rome, The
following year he assumed: the duties
of Director of the American School
of Classical Studies at Athens, which,
by arrangement with the Greek Gov-
ernment, besides heavy administrat-
ive work, and such miscellaneous
functions as upholding Greek morals
by continued digging during the seven
weeks of earthquakes at Corinth, and
large” scale collecting of wheelbar-
rows. The School, now preparing to
celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, . is
maintained by the universities and
‘colleges. of America; Bryn Mawr,
however, has long been one of the
two principal feeders, and Bryn Mawr
students, in open competitions, have
obtained more fellowships than stu-
dents from all the other colleges put
together, so that it is quite fitting
that a member of the Bryn Mawr fac-
ulty should .have. served as director
and make so many important finds.

~ Among the most important of these
was the unearthing of the. Sanctuary
of Asklepios, which served as_ the
Athenian City Hopitat about the year
3850 B.C. The’ building consisted of
a small temple with balcony and
sleeping rooms around it, on the walls
of which were found life-size terra
cotta images of legs, arms, noses, ears,
and eyes, which patients had present-
‘ed as offerings of gratitude for the
cure of these parts. Often the act-
ual disease, as for instance, a car-
‘ bunele on the hand, were shown in
the images.

The exposure of part of the great
wall around Corinth, was another not-
able discovery, which settled the long-
standing archeological dispute as to
whether mud brick was used in build-
ing Greek fortifications. Also at Cor-
inth, he found the ruins of the old,
workshops where the famous Corinth-
ian vases were made. The remains’of
several hundred thousand of these
were found, and will be studied by
Agnes Newhall Stillwill, a Bryn
Mawr fellow. The results of all these

© inyestigations will be published in the

“y American Journal of Archaeology and
-*) later in a book to be called The Ex-

+ cavations of Corinth. ee

»! Dr. Carpenter has now definitely
given up any further digging in
Greece. Instead, he will devote his

~Z talent for reconstruction and restora-

tion of old things to his new home,
near Downingtown, an old oe house
o _, built in 1730.
+ Six years of strenuous activity
abroad makes it quite unlikely that
in the quiet academic routine of the
ryn Mawr campus he will miss the
excitement of earthquakes and the
fascinating possibility of new discov-
ery. ;



» Extra Week
At a meeting of the faculty
on last Friday it was decided
to make up in Juné the week
of classes lost by the postpone-
ment of the opening of college.
A week will be added in June,
thus retarding the date of grad-
uation. Neither the dates of
. Christmas nor of Easter vaca-
“tion will be affected, but mid-
years and finals will be ad-
vanced by one week. The date
of graduation will be announc-

Aims and Opportunities of
Summer School Described

x



(Especially contributed by Sylvia
Bowditch)
No one has any idea how many
trains a day come from Broad Street
to Bryn Mawr until one plans in cold
blood to meet every single one of
them. All day long on Friday, June
10, girls arrived by train and bus
from all parts of the country; from
as far west as the Pacific.Coast and

girl from Sweden, one from Germany,
and two from England, for’ the
twelfth opening of the Bryn Mawr
summer School. With very few ex-
ceptions all of them had had some
industrial experience. This, and the
fact that they were all interested in
studying labor problems, were about
the only things they had in common.
Of the 110 students, fifty were for-
eign born. In. accordance with their
abilities in English, the school was
divided into five groups. These
groups met in informal classes, in-
doors or out. Each student contrib-
uted, either her own-personal experi-
ences or those of her friends, to con-
firm or. criticize what ‘was being said.
Often arguments that started in one
class would spread over and involve
the whole school before a conclusion
was. reached, . Many. girls came with
certain ideas. firmly fixed in their
minds, and. when two girls with dif-
ferent ideas got together, a heated ar-
gument, would almost certainly ensue.
Gradually each would realize that the
other had Some good arguments on
her side and that perhaps, her own
were not so-hole-proof ase had pre-
viously thought. Tolerance and open-
mindedness were far more in evidence
at, the end of the summer than at the
beginning.

Besides the reguiar work in eco-
nomics and English the girls could
chose other subjects in which they
were interested. Room D in Taylor
Hall became the Social Science Lab-
oratory, where maps and charts of
every description -were made to illus-
trate topics under discussion... There
was also an art workshop, in which
block printing, modeling and char-
coal drawing was done. With a lim-
ited equipment the science lab was
turned into a miniature museum,
where ingenious models. of the solar
system were shown with flashlights
and tennis balls. By this novel meth-
od of presentation interest in the
“hows and whys” wag aroused.

This summer the School held a
College Week-end Conference, at
which a group of college graduates
and undergraduates had the opportun-
ity of visiting the school, attending
classes, and meeting the girls. The
conference afforded such a splendid
opportunity for obtaining 2 first-hand
understanding of industrial questions
that a similar one will probably be
held next year.

The conference members obtained
only a slight glimpse of the oppor-
tunities which the six undergrads en-
| joyed for two months. One works
and plays with the girls, and learns
from them about their homes and
their families, their friends, and. their

Sports Program for ’



Athletics Are Under Way After

Disadvantage of Late
Start



WILL BE FACULTY GAMES



(Especially contributed- by Sylvia
Bowditch)

The Athletic Association of Bryn

Mawr welcomes the Freshmen and

upperclassmen and hopes to see many

of: them participating in the various

forms of sport which are provided.

Varsity hockey is already under|

way. Though we: have suffered one
defeat, the prospects are quite hope-
ful and the games will undoubtedly
be well worth watching, so we are
hoping for more galleries of the size
that turned out last Saturday. Class
games will begin in a few weeks and
we hope that. the Freshmen and
Sophomores will each have: at least
two teams.

Due to the lateness in opening there
will be no regular instruction in ten-
nis this fall, but there will be Be-
ginners, Intermediate and Advanced
classes in the spring. We hope that
there will be many people interested
in tennis so that we may have inter-
class matches in the spring as well
as varsity matches.

As soon as the quarantine is lifted
the swimming pool will be opened.
There will be several different swim-
ming classes and a plunge hour twice
a week, when anyone may go in.
Class meets and at least one outside
meet will be held in February.

All those interested in fencing will
be disappointed to hear that Mr.
Boeckmans cannot be here because of
his health. However, he has sent Mr.
Fiems to take his place. Mr. Fiems
has coached at Yale and in St. Louis
and is willing to speak English to
those who don’t like French and Ger-
man. He will give an exhibition next
Thursday night at 8 P. M. in the
gym and everyone is cordially invited.

Basketball is the major sport dur-
ing the winter term. There will be
first and second Varsity team games
almost every Saturday morning after
midyears. Generally we have had a
round robin class tournament in which
each class team plays each other class
twice. Each class has two and some-
times three teams so that everyone in-
terested in basketball has--a- chance
to: play on a team.

Lacrosse practice begins in the win-
ter when the fundamentals are learn-
ed. During the spring term real prac-
tices are held and if enough people
show sufficient interest at least one
outside game will be arranged.

A class in Folk Dancing is to start
very soon and one in tumbling will
begin in the winter term.

We generally play the faculty in,

“Nationalism in Musi?” Will be
Subject of Flexner
Lectures





MR. ALWYNE WILL PLAY

Dr. Ralph Vaughan Williams will
give a series of lectures on “Nation-



{alism in Music” at Bryn Mawr Col-

lege under the Mary Flexner Lecture-
ship which provides for a distinguish-
ed scholar in the field of “The Hu-
manities” to be in residence at the
college for a period for the purpose
of contact with the public, the fac-
ulty and the students. The first of
the series will be an introductory lec-
ture_on_ Wednesday evening,..October
19th; the second and third, on Thurs-
day evenings, October. 27th and No-
vember 3rd, will be “On the Nature of
Folk-Song;’ the fourth lecture will be
“Folk-Song As It Affects the Com-
poser,” on Wednesday evening, No-
vember 9th; the fifth will be an “Na-
tionalism in Musi¢,” on Wednesday
evening, November 16th, and the last,
on Monday evening, November 21st,
will have for its subject, “The Value
of Tradition in Art.” The lectures
will be illustrated by Mr. Horace Al-
wyne, Professor of Music and Direc-
tor of the Department of Music at
Bryn Mawr College, and by the Bryn
Mawr College Choir, conducted by Mr.
F. H. Ernest Willoughby, Associate
in Music. There will be no charge
for the lectures, which will be open
to the pubic.

Dr. Vaughan Williams, one of the
foremost living English composers,
was born in the West Country at
Down Ampney in 1872. His early
training was at the Royal College
in London and the Berlin Akademie
and also under Max Bruch. Later, in
order to familiarize himself with the
methods of jmpressionism, he worked
for some time with Ravel in Paris.
He is a graduate of Trinity College,
Cambridge, and received the Mus.D.
degree from Cambridge in 1901 and
from Oxford in 1919. He was for sey-
eral years Extension Lecturer for Ox-
ford University and Head of the
Composition Department of the Royal
College of Music.

He has always been a great enthu-
siast on folk-music and has edited
many collections of English folk-songs
for the Folk-Song Sceiety, of which
he is now president. He is the com-
poser of a large number of works in
all forms. His operas have been pro-
duced in Germany and England and
his symphonies played by the leading
orchestras in Europe and America.
A whole program was devoted to his
works by Sir Henry Wood in Lon-
don last year and many of them have
been performed at the leading Festi-
vals of Europe, his two works, “Job”
and “Benedicite,” being chosen by the
International J ury for perfofmance at
last year’s Contemporary Music Fes-
tival at Oxford.

He is an uncompromising Nation-
alist in music and his influence is
among the most powerful forces in
contemporary English music, with his
large human oltitlook and disregard
of all but the essential, the absence
of every form of rhetorical address.
His music is deeply tinged with the
spirit of English folk-music, of Eng-
lish national character and of Eng-
lish musical tradition and ideals in
particular. A. E. FrDickinson says:
“I feel, though I cannot prove, that
Vaughan Williams’ music is likely to
make a special appeal to the men and
women of fierce ideals, to the explor-
ers, to the people whose experience in
the last ten or twelve years has taught
them the grave danger of playing
with safety, whether in art or in the
ordinary walks of life. Moreover, for
those who, reacting from the crude
sensationalism of the day, are try-
ing to refit their minds for the more
permanent eecstacies of the emotions
felt, or at any rate crystallized, in
tranquility—for these Vaughan Wil-
liams can present, with the freshness:

Freshman Welcomed by
Miss Park in Chapel

Awakening of Sense of Citizen-
ship is Urged as
Noble Aim





DEVELOP’ INITIATIVE

On Monday, October 17,
Park officially opened the



resident
8th aea-

demic year at Bryn Mawr with a °

chapel address in which she _ wel-
comed faculty and _ students, and
stressed a deeper sense’ of the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship on the
part of college graduates as essential
for the survival of democratic gov-
ernment. The text of her speech
follows:

“Absence makes thé “heart grow
fonder” and each September comes
a time when to those of us’ who are
already here the green summer cam-
pus begins to look empty and dull.
In this particular year, when infan-
tile paralysis in Philadelphia and the
Lower Merion district caused a post-
ponement of our opening date, no one
can doubt the genuineness of our wel-

come to faculty and students, gradu-

ate and undergraduate, old and new,
all bursting on the same train, so to
speak, into the cheerful chaos of ‘this
morning. °

Our late opening will necessitate
some slight inconvenience in the fu-
ture. As our ordinary. working year
is unusually’ short compared to that
of other colleges, and as we cannot
consequently afford to lose a whole
week, the faculty and the Undergrad-

uate Association must arrange for the .

tnaking up of this lost time.

One other genuine disaster has be-
man Week had. to be abolished and
it will be necessary for the freshmen
to keep their “appointments for the
testing of the brain, the back, the
voice, the social life, the nerve, while

Abuse of New Book Room
is Serious Problem



We would like to call the serious
attention of everyone to the New Book
Room... The New Book shelf_is.con-
sidered one of the most thoughtful
and by many one of the most appre-
ciated ‘privileges given us by those in
charge of the library. New books are
placed on this shelf as they are bought
so that anyone may see, not only

-what_is being written-from week to

week, but what books “the library is
adding to its shelves. These books
are marked in the back not to be
taken out of the New Book Room for

two weeks, so that everyone may see

that they are there. After that they
are released for circulation,

This privilege is being outrageous- —

ly abused by people taking these new
books out of the New Book Room be-
fore anyone else has had a chance
to see them and while they are still
quite visibly marked not to be taken
out of the room. In some cases these
books have never been returned. This
abuse cannot be blamed on absent-
mindedness or inability to read no-
tices, and we can only appeal to the
consideration of students not to take
these books out until they are released.



Quarantine Lifted

Owing to the. fact that there
have been no new cases of in-
fantile paralysis in Lower Mer-
ion Township since October the
fourth, the Health Department
of the College has. decided to
lift the. quarantine against
Bryn Mawr village. Students
may now go to Bryn Mawr,
Haverford and Ardmore. Young
people under the age of eight-
een from these neighborhoods
may. visit the campys. The
quarantine against Philadelphia
is continued for the present,
and students should not use |
trains or buses, even in this im- |
mediate neighborhood, unless

Rev. Dr. Graton Speaks
in Sunday Chapel



“Being confident of this very thing
that he which hath begun a good work
in you will. perform it until the day
of Jesus Christ,” Philippians 1: 6, was
the encouraging text chosen by Rev.
Dr. N. B. Groton for his chapel talk
Sunday night in the Music Room. It
js a message of assurance to all those
who, in striving to achieve a fine no-
bility of life, or in ‘endeavoring to

fulfill lifelong ideals, have faltered |

and failed, leaving behind them an
apparent incompleteness.

“The world is a junk heap of am-
bitions that people have had,” and
like those graveyards of automobiles

to be seen along the public highways,

would indeed seem sad and tragic, if
it did not indicate rapid progress.
One’s past deeds, so confused and hel-
ter-skelter, when one looks back on
them, are not important in themselves,

but only as a part of a great pat-|

tern. History has shown us that man
is forever incomplete in himself, but

that a Power greater than he is going |

to accomplish the purpose he longed:
- to accomplish, even if “it takes until
the day of Jesus Christ.” If one feels

Political Mass Meeting /
Arouses Soapbox Oratory



Monday night, October 17, a large
crowd of Republicans, Democrats, and
malcontents. held a mass meeting in-
Goodhart Commons Room. Janet Bar-
ber, chairman of the Undergraduates’
Speakers’ Committee, opened it with
reminiscences concerning campaigns.
of former years, when elephants and
other. foreign matter were introduc-
ed upon the Bryn Mawr campus, The
purpose of this first *meeting was to
allow each party to elect its own chair-
man, who will select a speaker and
date with the help of her committee.

The Republicans elected Margaret
Tyler chairman, and placed Hupfel,
Knapp, Balmer, jactr and Hirons
on the committee here was some
discussion of ways and means. to
spread propaganda and scattering
cheets for “Hoofer.” A pseudo-con-
vention, suggested by Miss Barber,
was vetoed as entailing too much
work.

An embarrassing situation arose
when the time came for the’ Demo-'
crats to meet, as the Republicans re-
fused to move. The difficulty was
solved by an adjournment of the eight
Democrats to the tea-pantry. Miss
Fouilhoux was elected chairman of the
committee and ordered lists made of
Democrats in each hall. Dr. Fenwick
will be approached about giving a
speech at a rally-tea in the near fu-
ture, and campaign funds will be
raised.

The next group, although under the

| general heading of “Malcontents,” de-
{cided to call itself Socialists, as only

two differed, standing out for Com-
munist Foster. B. Kindelberger was
elected chairman unanimously, More
discussion followed, stirred up by
Miss Kindelberger, which led to the
idea of having three speakers on the
first night of the three dates open,
debate, on the second, and a general
rumpus on the third. Election night,

News of the New York’ Theatres

There seems to be a nebulous im-
pression in the minds of two of our
playwrights that Men Must Fight.
Those taking part in the: contest are
Douglas Montgomery, Gilbert Emery,
Janet Beecher and Alma Kruger.
Judging from the presence of the lat-
ter pair we have deduced brightly
that men of the theatre are’ now
fighting for their women. ’Tis really ,
an age of violence when that hap-
pens:

When Claude Rains ieft The Man
Who Reclaimed His Head to go into
rehearsal with Alla Nazimova jin The
Good Earth, it was-immediately tak-
en off the boards. Although the play
had excellent prospects as long as _ it
had Mr. Rains, it rested entirely upon
his shoulders, and his withdrawal left
it a hopeless wreck. Another sad
example of what happens when a play
is written for an actor — when he
leaves, nothing remains.

Eighteen months ago Ben Hecht

‘and Charles McArthur wrote two jacts

of Twentieth Century, and then gave
up as it beeame obvious that the choice
of subject was-an-unhappy_one, since
the paths of glory were fast leading
to the grave. However, after wait-
ing several months for the century to
come to a violent and degenerate end
and solve the problem, they wrote a
third. act and it is now in rehearsal.

Fay Bainter and Edith Barrett have
the leads in The Perfect Marriage,
and are assisted in the ritual by Ern-
est. Glendinning, Harold Gould, and
George Gaul. Lee Shubert will try -
it out in Boston, where’ its title ought
to do it plenty of good with our na-
tional perfectionists.

It will be a great day for the W. C.
T. U. when Carrie Nation, the play
on the fighting “dry up the*country,”
and “keep father in the nome. lady
opens.

Lillian Gish is haying a large suc-
cess in Camille, due to the delicate
and rather frail charm she brings the
role. Her interpretation is something
of a contrast to that of Eva le Gal-
lienne who, great actress though she
is, always reminded us more of a
caged tigress than a beautiful con-
sumptive. Raymond — Hackett, of
sereen fame, or notoriety as you will,
is doing Armand.

Number Please, with George Price,
is a drama of the lines of telephone
girls and is opening as soon as some-
one deposits ten cents please. It

might. be worth. going to if just to. .
-find—out-—-what--a-telephone— operator

does when she-has to speak English,;
As prospects this fall we have a
Fred Astaire show, for which Cole

Porter wrote the music; Robert
Benchley in Stop That Clock, and
Noel Cowards’ Design for Living,

himself in the cast.



Varsity Players Meet;
One-Act Play Cast



Last Monday ‘afternoon the first’
meeting of the Varsity Players was
held in the Common Room. The sub-
jects under discussion were the choice -
and date of a one-act play to be giv-
en this month by the members of
the club, and the choice of the three-
act play to be presented December
9 and 10 by Varsity Dramatics. The
one-act play that has been chosen
is Phillip Moeller’s Helena’s Hus-
band, done originally by the Wash-
ington Square Players: It is a de-
lightful satire on the ever-intriguing ~
story of Helen of ‘Troy; her husband, |
Menelaus, and her léver, Paris. The
play will be presented Tuesday eve-
ning, October 25, in the auditorium,
and it is hoped that one play will
be done each month from this time
on. Players are hoping to “be* able
to produce one-act plays by students
of the college as soon as the academ-
ic year gets in swing, and are look-
ing forward to doing a one-act play
next month by a very successful young
author.

_Try-outs were held» last Tuesday

in Goodhart for Helena’s Husband.

LEAGUE WORK FOR 1935





At Council meeting, May 11th, the

following matters were discussed:
May Day

The final figures showed a total re-
ceipt of about $15,000 artd a total ex-
penditure of about $14,900. Infor-
mal suggestions for future May Days
were offered, but not acted upon. Do
not give “As You Like It”—much

- too long and not enough acting, but

more early English short- plays and
perhaps use a traveling wagon for one
of the plays instead of interrupting

‘the green performances, as with’ St.

George. The committees should be
chosen and start work before the sec-
ond semester, and as much of the
casting done as possible, though un-
deranothersystem this should not
take. as long as Mr. King took this
year. There should not be just one

‘person to direct all five plays; one

of the plays should. be cut out; and
there should be more opportunity for
the Undergraduates to do some of the
directing (as Miss Young did in the
role of Sacrapant this year) provid-
ed they can give the time. Miss
Moore suggested that there be a gen-
‘eral advisor at the: head of all the
plays’ and then acting directors for
each one; the general advisor to at-
tend the first rehearsals: of all the
plays and give ideas and the acting
directors to carry: these out. in re-
hearsals. A lack of experience in the
technique of outdoor actihg would
be, the chief danger if the students
tried to do it all. The Director of
May Day must be above the other di-
rectors in the case of a dispute, so
that when a final decision has been
made there will be no more time wast-
ed. A new system for making paper
flowers should be devised, involving
less expenditure of time; they should
be larger, more uniform and less de-
tailed.

If the question of giving May Day
comes up, it is a great help saving
enthusiastic undergraduates left over,
i. e., who have been in May Day be-
fore. If there are none, some of
the alumnae of the year before might
come back, but again this might seem
like propaganda to the undergradu-
ates. Probably there will be no ‘such
question or hesitation in another year;
if thé depression hadn’t intervened
there would have been no doubt
about May Day and no _ reopen-

ing of ‘the subject after the
Spring decision. In order’ to
avoid’ the cancellation of classes

in the last week because of overwork
Mrs. Collins suggested having a free
week for May Day and extending the
college year a few days. Mrs. Man-
ning said the rush came before that
week, that complaints of overwork
came right after Spring vacation, and

that having May Day week free would |.

not solve the problem; but Mrs. Col-
lins said that that week should be
completely free anyway for rehears-
als. Both agreed, however, that May
Day should involve having a longer
college year. fore finals should be possible also, es-
pecially if midyears are eliminated;
but it is always difficult to cut down
on science lab and lectures.

Quota

The committee has had no time this
spring to deal with the problem or to
sconsider the objections and sugges-
tions put forth in The NEws. Miss
Park felt that the council as a rep-
resentative body of the undergradu-
ates, including the old .members,
should meet to consider the problem
and the college would be willing to
consider any solution they might of-
fer. Certain reservations must be
kept; there must be no arrangement
which makes class halls possible; and
“the system should be automatic and
objective; i. e., no question of a final
decision going to the president for
special privileges or permission. Also
the Scholarship rooms present a dif-
ficulty ; they are divided through the

’ halls, but certain students must be

in certain places. The average of
classes should be taken in working
out the problem, rather than the ex-
ample of one veer and the eounell

aihtinsito site. See He



may have any necessary information
or statistics for the asking.

Meals

Miss Hardenbergh asked if ex-
change slips might be abolished as it
was now more of a formality than a
necessity; but Miss Park and Miss
Howe said that without them one hall
was bound to be overcrowded at one
time or another and some of thé st®

‘dents resident in that hall might get

left out of their own dining-room,
too late to mo¥e to another hall, If
a system of checking in and out for
meals, before six-thirty, could be ar-
ranged, the slips might be abolished;
but until. then there must be some
restriction. The committee working
on the quota might consider this prob-
lem also. The question came up of
having Faculty to dinner free and the
answer was, No; but on further con-
sideration allowances might be made
through the wardens for Faculty
guests perhaps one night a week. Miss
Park hoped something might be done
to make the meals pleasanter, espe-
cially in, the evening; they are at
present, too noisy, too barbarous and
hardly attractive to bring guests to.
A later and longer hour for dinner
was suggested if choir rehearsals
could be postponed until 7.30, or af-
ter; also, in Pembroke, if the tables
were cut—and—acoustie tile-put—in,
there would be much less noise.

League
Miss Field asked if Freshmen could
try out League activities once or twice
in the first semester, so as not to lose
contact completely from the time when
they first hear about the League in

First Current Events
Lecture on Campaign



Dr. Fenwick resumed his regular
weekly talks on current events in the
Commons Room Tuesday evening, Oc-
tober 18, with a discussion of cam-

paign issues, the @ourse of the de-.
lgression, and the Insull collapse.

* The

Presidential campaign, Dr.
Fenwick said, was admirably summed
up by Will Rogers when he remark-
ed that both parties are doing a lot
uf promisng, but the Republicans are
also doing a lot of explaining, and
for the first time in many years the
Democrats have an excellent chance
of winning. At the beginnihg of the
campaign Mr. Hoover planned to leave
the speechmaking to his Cabinet offi-
cers and to take no personal part in
the campaign, as is customary for
candidates already in office. When
business, however, didn’t recover as
quickly as expected, and the Demo-

crats seemed to be gaining ground,,

he was persuaded by his advisers to
begin active participation with a
speech at Des Moines, Iowa, his na-
tive state, where he made a moving
personal appeal, and elaborated the
thesis that conditions In business and



Freshman week, to the ‘second sem-
ester (when they are now allowed
to take part). Miss Park explained
that. a Freshman’s first semester
should be protected from too much
outside activity, but said they could
be granted one or two sample eve-
nings of League work after Thanks-
giving.













agriculture could be much worse than

‘they are.

Former President Coolidge gave an
excellent defense of the Republican
position, urging -confidence in Mr.
Hoover and the plan of recovery which
begins. at the top in an effort to
strengthen the banks ‘as the first step
in helping the country as a whole.
Dr. Fenwick, however, maintained
that although most banks have plen-
ty of available credit, they are ex-
tremely reluctant to use it for ex-
tending mortgages and avoiding fore-
closures, which are chiefly due to the
fact that interest rates on mortgages
contracted last year or earlier have
not been scaled down in accordance

with the drop in commodity prices.

The collapse of the Insull utilities
in--Chicago, Dr: Fenwick attributed
to the pyramiding of company on com-
pany with the assets of only one as
a basis, and the orgy of speculation
in Insull stocks, which promised but
meagre dividends. The numerous

‘events which have. happened recently

in foreign affairs were left for later
discussion.



Students Protest Ban
on Outdoor Meetings



Students of Columbia University

recently held a formal meeting of

protest against the new university
ruling prohibiting outdoor meetings
and requiring’ supervision of all in-
door meetings open to the public by
a faculty member of professorial
ranking.

Action was taken at a meeting of

the Columbia Social Problems Club,
originally scheduled to meet on the
library steps to protest against the
recent ruling of Secretary of Labor
Doak on self-supporting non-quota
foreign students. The meeting was
held in the School of Business Build-
ing. In accordance with the ruling,
Professor Joseph D. McGoldrick, of
the Department of Government, act-
ed as chairman.

At the meeting Donaid Henderson,
instructor in economics at Columbia
College and secretary of the National
Students’ League, assailed the univer-
sity ruling and called for a united
protest against it on the part of Co-.
lumbia students. He asserted that the
university by forcing the Social Prob=
lems Club’s meeting indoors had made
the meeting “dry and academic.”

Mr. Henderson proposed that a
committee, consisting of members of
the club and other representatives of
the undergraduate and graduate body,
be formed to organize a stern pro-
test against the ruling. He also pro-
posed that another committee be. set ~
up at Columbia to work in co-opera-
tion with a similar committee at New
York University in the protest against
Secretary Doak’s ruling on foreign
studénts.

Both resolutions were passed by the
club. > A petition was also drawn up
and signed .by members of the club
demanding the immediate withdrawal
“of the reactionary rule against for-
eign working-class students.” The
petition will be circulated: among Co-
lumbia students and sent to Secretary
Doak.— (NSFA.)

Junior Month Gives
Worker Human Insight



Program Varied and Lively; Old
Reform School Scored in
Contrast With New



Especially contributed by Elinor
Collins. 2

“How .depressing!”, some one re-
marked when I said I was spending
July in New York City studying
Social Work. I wondered if perhaps
there was.a grain of truth in this
statement. What: would Junior Month
be like?. I knew that we were to
study under the C. 0. S. (Charity Or-
ganization Society) of New York in
an effort to get a panoramic view of
modern social work and I thought
that perhaps it -would be depressing
seeing and hearing about those in
less fortunate circumstances than my
own.

It was not long arter/the twelve
Juniors, representing the twelve east-
ern colleges (Barnard, Connecticut,
Elmira, Goucher, Mt. Holyoke, Rad-
cliffe,. Smith, ‘Swarthmore, Vassar,
Wells, Wellesley and Bryn Mawr),
had. gathered in’ New York that we
realized that seeing “life in the raw,”
as one newspaper described our work,
Was not necéssarily depressing. When
we were given our program of lec-
tures and discussions on such sub-
jects aS: the homeless, the immi-
grants, the negroes, the unemployed,
the mental defectives, medical social
work, settlement work, mental hy-
giene and psychiatry,.and juvenile
delinquency, they seemed like so
/many mere words. But after hearing
and discussing the kind of work that
is being done and then visiting’ the
institutions where such problems are
handled, each one of these topics soon
became living things to us.

For instance, to help in our study
of crime and delinquency we went to
the police line up, where every day
those arrested for felony in the last
twenty four hours are quizzed before
detectives. It was depressing to, see
how young most of those arrested
were. But we-were encouraged to
hear about the preventative work
that is being done with the younger
boys to help them direct their ener-
-gies into more constructive lines. Our
next visit was to the Children’s
Court, where we heard several cases
which came before the judge and saw
how these cases were handled.

We wanted then to see the kind of

institutions to which the Court—was..

committing these children. The first
Reform School that we visited is a
typical example of the old type. Here
three hundred or more young boys
live, -work, and. Gf it-can- be
called) play in three or four prison-
like buildings. Everything is done
en masse and the only way a boy can
ever get away is by committing some
offence which sends him to solitary
confinement, where, like an animal in
the zoo, he is locked in a wire cage.
Here at least he can be-alone. He
does not have to sleep in a big dormi-
tory with a hundred or more others,

so

_ watched all night by a man, guarded

with a gun. This grim institution is
under the city, supported by taxes!
Plans are under way, however, for
moving this school to the country,
where with new buildings, etc., we
hope it will be possible to change
some of the out of date policies.

In contrast to this Reform School
is Children’s‘ Village at Dobbs Ferry.
Here we saw the attractive cottages,
where the boys and girls live under
the supervision of a “cottage mother
and father.” Their playground, in-
stead of a hot cinder yard; is three
hundred acres of beautiful rolling
country. The aim of this Reform
School is, not punishment and treat-
ment en masse, but to “study, to
understand, and to help: solve the

-~ problem.of the maladjusted boy or |

girl.” After seeing the-‘Village” and
understanding what they are doing
and how, one no longer wonders at
the fact that after ‘these boys and
girls have left they want to return
for alumni days. I think: we ail
would.

We spent only part of each week

i. -yigiting and studying institutions of

this kind. The rest of the time we;
‘‘gietually did some. family case work

new theories that we were learn-

ily”.who lived on the fourth floor of
a tenement house way down on the
West Side. .My fears, however, were
soon. forgotten after I had _ rallied
enough courage to mount the tene-
ment. stairs and knock feebly at their
door¢tor I was greeted by four beam-

ing Italians who seemed very pleased
to see me. After working a short
time under such a splendid agency
as the C. Q. S. we all quite changed
our minds about social work. We
found it is not, as so many people
think, merely distributing baskets of
food and money where there seems to
be acute poverty. In time of depres-
sidn perhaps relief of this kind has
to be given, but the real work is “the
development of an individual’s capac-
ity to organize his own normal social
activities, when this capacity has be-
come impaired.’’ Case workers deal
with every applicant in an individual-
istic way: they find out the facts in
the situation; interpret them and
then help the applicant. make the
necessary readjustment: so that he
may live at, what is for him, top-
notch capacity.

Junior Month opened up so many
new fields to me and gave me such a
real insight into modern social work
that I feel that it is one of the great-
est experiences that I have ever had.
[-wish such an opportunity werd pos-
sible .for every undergraduate.

to ‘classes, and all the college machin-
ery revolves around their excited
heads,” All upperclassmen should try
to simplify the problem of the. fresh-
men by omitting any mental, moral or
physical demands on them which can
be. postponed until later, The fresh-
men, then, have only to keep their
heads and plough onward.

It is pleasantly surprising that the
numbers of the college -have, relative-
ly speaking, held their own, despite
the general economic distress. Sacri-
fices on the part of many families
have been met by sacrifices on the
part of the college. Our income, both
from students’ fees and from the in-
terest on invested funds, has drop-
ped. We are, however, keeping our
instruction at its old level, and striv-
ing to make it available for as many
girls as possible. Purely academic
expense, teaching salaries and books,
and scholarship funds have been kept
on the budget. ‘Our economies will
consist in»such items as not buying
new apparatus for the laboratories or
new books for the library. Our en-
deavor is to make it possible “for girls
to begin’ and go on with training by
which later they can’ support them-
selves.” Moreover, Bryn Mawr is
now helping with scholarships not
merely one undergraduate out of ev-
ery seven, as formerly, but one out
of every three. The alumnae have
given a really incredible gift, of $16,-
250 for their 45 regional scholars; 1
seniors, 9 juniors, 9 sophomores and
13 freshmen.

The sobering situation which you
students meet in this autumn of 1982
was matched only by the distant war
years. “Last winter some of you at
least suddenly saw a straight connec-
tion between these years of acquiring
information and method and whatnot
and a later time of using practically
the resources you had acquired. I
believe that that sound and fruitful
point of view will last because after
one has worked seriously, one finds
superficiality boring as a steady diet.”
I shall omit here to urge you to choose
a profession as “that counsel has slip-
ped from the proud height of a fem-
inist battlecry to the levels of a pa-
ternal commonplace.” I am going to
ask, however, that while you are at
Bryn .Mawr, gaining information,
method and insight, you should hon-
estly and carefully consider the re-
sponsibility which you can and must
take as citizens of the United States.

The din of the election cries, this
particular year, makes it» easier. for
you, especially those of you just com-
ing into citizenship, to consider your
place in the American government
scheme. Those of you in colleges and
universities have more time, and a
more normal basis for such thinking,
than the other members of your gen-
eration, who are unemployed of en-
gaged. in modern_ industrial _ work.
However, “most of you are frankly
uninterest in the whole business, po-
litical and economic, national and in-

In the:first hockey game of the 1932
season, the Main Line defeatéd ‘the
Bryn Mawr Varsity by the score of
{-0. Since the Main Line team has
two active and one former All-Amer-
ican, Strebeigh; Thate and Vander-

experience if: for no other reason.





DED

Although the Varsity had only two}

practices before the game, Miss Grant
seemed fairly pleased at the showing
it made against the far superior Main
Line team.

The addition of three Freshmen;
C. Brown—a Varsity right inner from
B._Cary—an
Inter-Scholastic left inner from the
Germantown Friends; and J. Taggart,
a Varsity right wing from Rosemary,
—made the forward line a bit ragged
ed and the playing confused. There
was a noticeable lack of combination
between the forward line and the de
fense.,

Although Collier was missed a great
deal, Kent played an excellent game
as her substitute at center half. Miss
Grant also gave much credit to J.
Rothermel and to Jackson for their
work on the defense.

SEVEN COLLEGES REPORT



To—

Dean Gildersleeve of Barnard Col-
lege,

President Park of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege,

President Woolley of Mount Holy-

oke College,

President Comstock of Radcliffe

College, —

President. Neilson of Smith College,

- President MacCracken of Vassar

College,
President Pendleton of Wellesley
College, ?

And to the Public, .
Upon receipt of your letter of June
ist and in accordance with your re-
quest, we, the undersigned, as an Ad-
visory Council, have studied the re-

_ sources and obligations of the Seven

Women’s Colleges named, Barnard,
Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Rad-

‘cliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley.

We have not attempted to make an
intensive educational survey; for edu-
cators generally acknowledge, we be-
lieve;: that these colleges give to
young women an education equivalent
to that available to their brothers at
the best American universities. The
right, therefore, of these women’s col-
leges to ask that they be aided. to
keep up their high standards cannot
be questioned. The question put to
us is as to how means for the main-

' tenance of this high degree of excel-

‘

@

- wisely.

lence can be obtained. It is almost
a truism to point out that the wom-
en’s colleges have, even in times of
prosperity, never received adequate fi-
nancial support; whereas, even during
lean years, the public’s fortunate hab-
it of giving te the men’s colleges con-
tinues with comparatively little abate-
ment.

Yet, despite limited resources, it
cannot be denied that the place which
women’s education has come to occu-
py in the development of our Ameri-
can life has grown each year in ex-
tent and importance. Although up to
_ 1865 there were no institutions of col-
“lege rank in the United States ex-
clusively for women, after that time
progress in higher education for them
was steadily forward. Little by little
training and intellectual freedom for
women became the modern temper.

Year by year the position and in-
fluence of women have changed. Not
only have they in themselves, through
their influence upon family life, add-
ed immeasurably to the cultural val-
ues of the American social fabric,
but they have had a direct and far-
reaching effect,.in-a way not foreseen,
upon what the men’s colleges have
been able to accomplish. The reason
is that women are, to a large extent,
the teachers of boys in their primary
and secondary school years, and upon
the soundness and breadth of their
training depends in turn that of the
boys who are being reared to enter
college.

The influence of the women’s col-
leges has not been confined to the
sphere of teaching, nor to excellence
in the arts, nor to original research,
though in all these fields they have
made notable contributions. In the
important field of sociology trained
women from these colleges have made
extraordinary progress. In plans for
acquainting women voters with sound
political information and knowledge
of current political issues they have
been most active. They are making
their influence felt in domestic politi-
cal developments, and in the fields
of international understanding - they
are playing a worthy part.

What These Colleges Have, and

and What They Need

From their earliest years, the mea-
gre funds which these colleges pos-
sessed have been handled safely and
In the way-of women, the
colleges “managed.” They learned to
work on a balanced budget. One dol-
lar was made to do the work of three.
But such methods cannot be contin-

"wed indefinitely. There comes a time

—and with them it has already ar-
rived—when obsolete laboratories

ly equipped. Old. wooden dormitories

tures. Libraries must be kept up to
date, The physical life and health
of the young women must be safe-
guarded with adequate clinical facili-
ties. Devoted teachers who, all their
lives, have accepted a fraction of a
real salary, die, and worthy succes-
sors cannot be had on the same terms.
Salaries must be adjusted to the needs
of the modern world.

It has been suggested that in pre-
senting the whole situation we should
make a graphic comparison of the
adequacy of endowment enjoyed by
the men’s colleges, as compared with
the inadequacy of that from which
the women’s colleges are suffering.
Such comparison, however, can hardly
be made without doing a certain in-
justice to the men’s colleges. For
example, it is perfectly true that the
total endowment of what might be
termed the seven leading men’s col-
leges in the East is over eight times
that of the seven women’s colleges
for which we are appealing. On the
other hand, at least four of the. men’s
institutions may be ranked as _ uni-
versities, with the obvious necessity
of maintaining extensive graduate
schools, and professional schools of
law, medicine, etc. Thus, manifest-
ly heavier endowments for such pur-
poses are natural and inevitable.

Avoiding, therefore, any attempt
at comparisons that might be deem-
ed invidious, we return to the simple
question as to whether the American
people will come to consider that the
higher education of women is of prime
importar.ce. Do we want our Amer-
ican women educated as great teach-
ers of our youth; to become mothers
of trained taste and intelligence; to
have an equipment that will enable
them to. serve the artistic, civil, and
political interests of the community?

When the American public comes
to full realization of such considera-
tions as these, it will see to it that
our women’s colleges are adequately
endowed. And we have not hesitated
to bring up these questions at this
time of financial depression, simply
because it is at such times that men
are apt to turn from material affairs
to those of the intellect. and spirit: to
give themselves over to the considera-
tion of those phases of life that yield
the more solid satisfactions, the more
enduring results in the life of our
country.

It is with this ean that we
venture to present the situation with
respect to these Seven Women’s Col-
legés, and, for the information of
such persons as may be. interested
now or. in the future to direct their
benefactions in these directions, to
list as below the most urgent needs
of these colleges:—

campus or in temporary buildings on

.-The Appeal to Fair Play

Each college puts aid to its students
first. Each is unwilling to lose the
fine type” of young ‘woman--who-—de-
pends on scholarships funds. In her
intellectual aspirations, her struggle
against material odds, and in her abil-
ity to overcome obstacles, she repre-
sents the vital purpose of these insti-
tutions.

All of the facts and figures pre-
sented in this report are available
in greater detail from the office of
the President of each college. It is
our hope that this summing up of
the present needs of these institutions
may reach those men and women who
are able to help them by direct gift

or bequest. After a gallant half-cen- |

tury of pioneer endeavor, the women’s
Colleges must not fail for lack of
material support. They have proved
their case; they have fully played
their part, in the intellectual and
artistic development of this country.
Their only error, perhaps, has been
a too great modesty. From. their
first years they can rightfully claim
to have sent out grdauates whose re-
search in science has benefited man-
| kind, whose writings in prose and
poetry have been distinguished, who
have been significant in art, in mu-
sic, in commerce and the professions.
We commend their future to those
who discern the truth that no other
factor in the intellectual life of Amer-

ica is more important than the col-

leges for women,



Liberal Club Fights

Dismissal of Instructor



According to a recent release from
the National Student League, the
Liberal Club of the College of the
City of New York will hold a meet-
ing of protest against the dismissal
of Oakley Johnson from the teaching
staff of the evening session.

The release says in part that Mr.
Johnson “avers that the real causes
for his dismissal. were his insistence
on freedom for the activities of the
Liberal Club (a militant student or-
ganization), and the fact that, out-
side the college, he openly supported
the Communist Party. The Liberal
Club is taking up the fight for his
return, on the grounds of academic
freedom for both students and teach-
ers.”—(NSFA.)

College Inn Found to ‘
Be an Ancient Problem

(The News reprints a letter from
a student found in issue of April 22,
1915.)
To the Editor of. The College News:
The growing dissatisfaction with

the service at the tea-house which I,

have lately noticed, has determined
me to turn to you for some help in
getting to the root of the trouble.
{| do not wish merely to complain of
the many objectionable features of the
tea-house, but to arouse the attention

of those who are interested in it and.

to have the matter definitely refer-
réd- to the responsible ‘authorities. It
is a fact that the tea-house is the most
convenient, in fact the only conveni-
ent and close “eating nouse” outside
of the hall dining rooms. We can go
to no other place in the comfort. of
gym and hockey clotnes. There is no
other ‘place in which: we may freely
lounge and sing and shout. Is it real-
izing our dependence upon it, that the
authorities take advantage of us in
making the prices unwarrantly high
and the service correspondingly bad?

Tor example, last night, at 6.30, we

arrived at the Inn; by 6.35 our order
for two chicken sandwiches, two bak-

Jed beans and two glasses of grape



tress because of drought, flood, forest
fire, tornado, snowstorm, miné\ explo-
sion, or other similar great disaster.

Prolonged drought caused the Red
Cross.to go with help to 58,000 fami-
lies. inthe Northwest. Here in 144
counties in North and South Dakota,
Montana, Nebraska, Washington and
Iowa the Red Cross spent $1,980,000
from its own treasury to feed and
protect people through the winter and
spring.

The Red Cross always maintains a
state of readiness to ‘meet these sud-
den emergencies, and funds and other
essentials to this work are supplied,
in part, by the annual roll call, held
each year from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day. Every citizen can
support this worthy activity through
joining as a member in the local Red
Cross chapter.



juice was in. One hour and twenty-| house, where a substantial and edible

live minutes we waited for: our order
to be filled. When it did come, we

found that we had to content our-
selves with chicken salad sandwiches
and orangeade, as they were “just out
of” chicken and grape juice. We had
to call for spoons and napkins. The
price of this meal was $.80. Why
does such a crying state of things
exist? Charging the very high prices
they do, is there any excuse for fur-
nishing such inefficient service? Are
the kitchen accommodations too small;
is there not sufficient help? I have

DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON
Ernest Hemingway
For utter fascination and for sur-
prise we recommend Death in the

















book an explanation of bull-fighting
so-.thorough' that it can be called
scholarly in its own field, and so
sympathetic that it explains why this
pastime, so repulsive to us, has been
for countless years the passionate. in-
terest of Spanish-blooded people. In
this book one may learn the prepara-
tions, the technique, and the charac-
ters of this ‘art, which is nota mere
sport, but a profession in which men
spend their lives and lose them. The
color of Spain is in Hemingway’s de-
‘scription; the intimacy of a friend is
in his portraits of the matadors;
the clarity and thoroughness of an
expert are in ‘his diagnosis of the
technique.

But“one must prepare to be startled
for the construction is a_ violation
of everything sacred to good form in
writing. Digressions jump one sud-
denly from bull-breeding to the War,
or into literature and morals. Repe-
titions stop one with a familiar ring
on the ear, even to the telling of
identical anecdotes several times.
Lastly, the author’s volubility causes
some sentences of amazing length,
number of adjectives, and lack of
punctuation. For example, we could
not make much out of this. “So far,
about morals, I know only that what
is. moral is what you feel good after
and what is immoral is what you
feel bad after and, judged by these
moral standards, which I do not de-
fend, the bullfight.is very moral -to
me. because I feel very fine while it
is going
and death and mortality and immor-
tality, and after it is over I feel very
sad but very fine.””’ We wonder how
this book got by the eyes of both
publisher and critics uncorrected, and
we wonder if, with more critical edit-
ing, the story might not have been
told to advantage in less space.—

SONS
Pearl S. Buck

Wang of The Good Earth has won
a certain fame by his current ap-
pearance in a prize novel and a play,
but his sons lack this prestige. Mrs.
Buck, in Sons, has managed to car-
ry us, over from her first book into
the second without ‘a break, from a
mediaeval life to modern, from.a tale
of land to one of greed, and so gave
Wang’s sons a new background to
begin a need. Then Wang died—a
great land owner full of years—and
a new era began for the land he won
so laboriously. Only Wang’s concu-
bine, Pear Blossom, stood out against
the sons’ ruthless sale of their inher-
itance.

One son was of merchant stuff,
and land meant to him something to
be mortgaged; the oldest used it to
support his corpulency and lewdness;
but the crowning irony lies in the
career of Wang’s youngest, who es-
caped from the land and became a
warlord or farmers’ parasite. Thus
the slow, steady passion of the fath-
er for land changes into greed in the
next generation, greed for money,
women and power. Her subject makes
Mrs. Buck’s prose less impressive here
than in The Good Earth, in which

making, more sacred even than Sanc-
tuary, Mr. Faulkner’s last piece de
resistance.. Because such an impres-
sive array of critics have praised the
book so highly, we opened. and read
it with something like awe, alert for
the touch of genius referred to on
the cover; all that we could find to
say for it is that it has a remarkable
power.

Mr. Faulkner’s choice of subject
matter is unbelievably grim, his plot
is lurid, and his characters are with
few exceptions studies in abnormal or
sub-normal psychology. Lust of every
kind, perversion, blood, violence and
brutality are the background against
which are played incidents that are
sheer nightmare. Mr. Faulkner’s real
gift seems to us to lie in the force of
his unnaturally. clipped style, which
by its very barrenness holds you close
to the incredible incidents he nar-
rates; so close that you can actually
believe that these things do happen, are
happening somewhere today, and will
go on happening until one ofthe two
alien races of which he writes ab-
sorbs the other. That he can make
you believe in him, is indubitable
proof of .the author’s knowledge of
his subject, his sincerity and his skill
with words.

His style, however, while marvel-
ously adapted to swift violent narra-
tive, is dull and tiresome when the
pace slows down. His constant sim-
ile, chopped “sentences~and occasional
excursions into the realm of Stein,

seem, though this is undoubtedly a
heresy, immature, unsure, and self-
conscious. :

Altogether the book is a_ disap-
pointment coming from the author of
Sacutuary, from whom we had a right
to expect so much.—J. M.

Flying Colors Obtains
Novel Effect by Staging



Max Gordon, producer of Three’s
A Crowd and The Band Wagon,
seems to have escaped the fatality
of the third strike; Flying Colors,
now to be seen at the Imperial The-
atre in New York; is a worthy ex-
ponent of that type of revue, smart
and sophisticated, in which Mr, Gor-
That
Flying Colors does not seem quite on

don has heretofare excelled.

a level with predecessors is perhaps
owing to the very fact that it follows
closely in. their footsteps, and so loses
in novelty. Obviously Mr. Diez wrote
‘Alone’ Together” with “Dancing in
-the Dark” still in his head, making
it unusually effective, however, as was
the dance used as illustration, a
dance strangely reminiscent of that
which accompanied “Body and Soul.”
Tamara Geva is.as bizarre as ever.
The dancing honors, however, go to
those new finds, Vilma and Buddy
Ebsen, veritable “rays of sunshine,”
whose vitality and apparent good-
nature would clear the darkest brow.
The Albertina Rasch girls once more
appear in strange dances. The chor-
us, however, introduces a distinctly
rrovel-element;~its-members being’ col-
ored. Whether or not this mixture of
black and white in the same show is
particularly successful, on the whole,
“Louisiana Hayride” is undeniably





the best number of the evening, as
clever as anything we have ever seen.
Throughout, however, Flying Colors
can boast of its staging, which is’ un-
usually imaginative.

As for the sets, they alone are
worth a trip to the Imperial Theatre.
Mr. Bel Geddes is more modernistic

than ever, with a simplicity and pow--

er of suggestion’ which are. truly
breath-taking.

Clifton Webb still wears tails as
if hedbeen born in them. To -see
him in “A Rainy Day” must make
many a man-about-town pale with
envy. But Mr. Webb is not only a
super-sophisticate and a superb danc-
er; as a hotel manager handing out

guns to potential suicides, or. as a -:

doctor experimenting on his first pa-
tient he is jnarvelously amusing. Pat-
sy Ruth Kelly and pale-faced Charles
Butterworth also contribute their
share of’the fun. All the skits are
quite hilarious, the high spot com-
ing, .perhaps, in “Sister Act,” with
Messrs. Webb, Butterworth and Loeb.
as the three crooners.

Unfortunately the program does
not seem to have been particularly
well divided, the choicest dainties
coming in the first half,, and even
that does not go rapidly enough.
Pace, however, comes only with time.
When we saw it, Flying Colors was
still being patted into shape, yet even
then it was highly to be recommended:

cious battle be-
tween the python

mn Auited the tale entirely :
.They are not present in Luckies

Af » That is not to say that the young-

est Wang, Wang the Tiger, who dom-
inates Sons, is not an arresting and
satisfying person, in his own way as
powerful a figure as Wang the Far-
mer; he is a fierce and black-browed
leader of men, not a thief in gen-
eral’s clothing... An amusing, if sub-
ordinate, part of the book is the tech-
nique of a successful warlord—at once
so modern and so archaic.

The fusion of Oriental subject with
Occidental interpretation, which
seems to be Mrs, Buck’s. special me-
tier, has been accomplished again by
her, and we feel that it will be of
great use as a sedative to students
of “the Chinese question.”—J. E. H.

‘finest tobaccos in all the
world—but that does not
explain why folks every-
where regard Lucky Strike as
the mildest cigarette. The fact
is, we never overlook the
truth that ‘‘Nature in the
Raw is Seldom Mild”—so





these fine tobaccos, after
proper aging and mellowing,
are then given the benefit of
that Lucky Strike purifying
process, described by the
words—‘“‘It’s toasted”. That’s
why folks in every city, town
and hamlet say that Luckies
are such mild cigarettes. .
