~ Socialist Platform

Opposes Capitalism



Change in Economic System is
Proposed to Alleviate
Overproduction



ADVOCATES LOW TARIFF



(Especially Contributed by Elizabeth
Kindleberger, Chairman. of the
Socialist Committee)

Most people approach the question
vf the November elections as if the.
choice were one between men only. The
really significant choice, I think, is
between the three or four parties and
the two economic systems which they
represent.

A vote for the Democratic or Re-
publican parties is a vote for the
status quo, for a system_or.a_lack.of
it, under which tremendous waste,
graft, profits’ and poverty, overpro-
duction and underconsumption, crime,
insanity, ugliness and starvation are
all taken for granted. If the misery
and ugliness of such a situation can-
not make one weep, the inefficiency
of it should.

The trouble with the Democrats and
the Republicans is that they have
never stopped to ask themselves the vi-
tal question, “What is an economic
system for?’ The answer is simple;
to provide its members with adequate

‘food, shelter and clothing, and with

leiswre“tff“which to search for beauty
and truth and fun. The two con-
servative parties see no community
responsibility for providing for all.
They accept it as axiomatic that the
strong should take of the country’s
wealth more than they can use and
enjoy, while the weak exist in seeond-
hand houses (slums), wear second-
hand clothing and, happily, by. as-
siduous attendance at bread lines, eat
enough to keep from starving. But
this is merely heartless.

What is unforgivable in the. con-
servative is his untidy thinking. He
‘believes, sincerely I think, that it is
possible for an owning class to or-
ganize its factories for mass produc-
tion, sit on all the available money,
and then sell goods. He believes it
is possible for thousands of greedy
little capitalists, each looking only to

his own: profit, somehow to provide

the country with just what it needs,
in just the proper quantity and at a
fair price. He believes. it. is possible
to have the economic power of the
country under the dual control of busi-
ne*~ men and politicians without their
mutual corruption. He believes it is
possible to keep at peace amidst an
anarchy of nations economically in-
terdependent. He believes, our con-
servative, or pretends to believe, that
it is possible to collect war debts
from a penniless nation from which
it will buy nothing. Worse still, he
has the effrontery to pretend that his
crazy ideas are the axioms of all so-
ber, “right-thinking”’ citizens, that
capitalism, as we know it, is some-
thing more than a mere upstart less
than a century.and a half old, and
that man never does anything except
for his own money profit. It is
enough to make one lose one’s temper.

| “But what,” you have been trying
to interrupt me all this time to say,
“what will the Socialists do about
all.this if they get into power, which
they won’t. Why should I ‘waste my
vote’ voting the Socialist ticket when
Hoover (or Roosevelt) seems to me
a_little more fit for the job than
Roosevelt (or Hoover) ?”

The answer is that America needs
a third party, to which those like you
who do not believe in the status quo
can turn, and you must “waste your
vote” for a number of years if it is
to be built. The British labor party
was not built in a day. The Social-
ist party in America is a fit nucleus
for such a party because it starts its
reasoning from a sensible point of
view; it asks, “What is an economic
system for?” And its answer is,
“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap-
piness, peace and economic security.”

Varsity’s Offensive Game Bet-
ter Than Usual, But For-
ward Line Weak



PROSPECTS ARE BETTER



Varsity again went down to defeat
in the second game of the season with
the Merion Cricket Club by the close
score,’ 8-2. -A perfect autumn day;
blue, ‘crisp, and riotots with color,
made the game a pleasure to watch,
and, although the team did not func-
tion as well as might be expected, the
fature prospects seem brighter.

The shadow of the French Oral
cast its effect on several of the play-
ers — but, on-the whole, the game
evinced greater prospects for the fu-
ture than that of last week. One no-
tices, however, that the lack of unity,
which has been characteristic of Var-
sity playing for the last few years,
is still with us. This is due, perhaps,
to the raggedness of the offense which
through lack of practice, has not yet
begun to co-ordinate fully.

In the first half, Varsity played
a much better offensive game than
usual, but practice in shooting goals
is badly needed. Many times the ball
was run the length of the field, only
to be lost in the circle because of poor
or hasty aim. . The forward line,
though faster than last week, is still
weak in passing and receiving. . Their
stickwork is lamentable and the dodg-
ing rarely successful. Considering the
sources from which much of our pres-
ent material has come, we are slight-
ly. surprised.

In the second half, Townsend, an
All-American, went in. for Tuttle at
left inner. Her entrance encouraged
the Merion forwards to put the of-
fense. As a result, Varsity was again
forced back to her usual defensive
game and the brunt of the work fell
on Bishop and Collier. Merion’s goal
in the later part of the half made the
score 3-2 in their favor, and, until
the final whistle blew, the playing
merely see-sawed back and forth,
neither team getting a real chance at
a goal.

The steady efficiency of Longacre
and Bishop, the competent cage de-
fense of Jackson, and the forcible
passing and dribbling\of Collier, ap-
peared to be the best points of the
Bryn Mawr team. Wev\are not en-
tirely without hope that, with fur-
ther practice (providing the cloud-
burst has ceased) and moré time to
develop a forceful line, Bryn Mawr
may yet become a winner. —

Present Helena’s Husband;
Stage-Set and Costuming

CLEVER



DIALOGUE _IS



The Varsity Players.opened a ser-
ies of one-act performances with
“Helena’s Husband” by Philys Moeller
on October 25. With an announced
intention of devoting but one week to
preparation, the players have, in their
first performance, accomplished much.
Perhaps the highest praise should be
given to the director, Miss Janet Mar-
shall, for the choice of play, which in
spots all but carried the actors with
it by clever dialogue.

On the other hand, the criticism
might be made that more than a week
was necessary to its preparation. The
cast ‘performed well only in spots and
each individual evidently _ incipient

moments of great stress, The parts of
Menelaus and Tsumu, the slave, gave
the impression of greater acting ex-
perience on the part of their portray-
ers. Helena was well shown to be of
the “baby vamp type” and more than
beautiful .but dumb. Perhaps the
players should be reminded that when
they are facing the rear of the’stage
their words must be much more dis-
tinct for the audience to hear them.
Then, too, when the production of
“laughs” is the first aim of the play
the actors’ must give the audience
time to rise.

The simplicity of stage-set was
most effective and the costumes were
excellently done. The whole, setting

the Second Varsity tied the Phila-

Although the game was played
mainly around the opponents’ cage,
Wetherill, center half for Philadel-
phia, managed to keep the ball from
going in.. In the first half, Bennet,
Bryn Mawr center forward, made a

-goal..in a rush following several_un-

successful attempts on the part of
Camaday. Faeth also made a goal
in a field run by Taggart, but it was
cancelled because of off sides. In the

Physics Department
Gains Dr. Michels



Dr. Walter C. Michels comes to
Bryn Mawr as Associate-Elect in the
Physics Department with a_ back-
ground of extensive work, both as a
lecturer and as a research worker in
his field. During the years 1927-1930
he acted first as Teaching Assistant

in Physics, later as Teaching Fellow.
in Physics at the California Institute:

of Technology, at Pasadena. For the
past two years Dr. Michels has been
National Research Fellow in Physics
at Princeton University.

His research is mainly in the field
of. electricity, and is particularly con-
cerned with the problem of atomic ex-
citation, relevant to the transfer of
energy between electrons and atoms.

His coming to Bryn Mawr this par-
ticular year helps in part to make up

for the loss caused last spring by the |’

retirement of Dr. Huff, physics pro-
fessor here for thirty-three years.
More. than that, his addition to the
faculty marks a valuable gain to the
physics department, and to the college

as a whole. . \

1s, Wittering Delivers”
First Flexner Lecture



National Sympathy Aroused by
Artists Closely Linked to
Own Tradition



COLLEGE CHOIR. ASSISTS



“The greatest artist belongs to his
own country as the humblest singer,”
declared Dr, Ralph Vaughan Wil-
liams, in Goodhart Hall, October 19,
in the introductory address with
which he began his Flexner lecture on
“Nationalism in Music.” Since mu-
sic springs from something innate in
human nature, perfection of form is
as possible to primitive as to elab-
orate musiag and folk song is a true,
vital art.” Many people agree with
Whistler, Dr} Williams asserted, in
considering a national art as absurd
as a national chemistry. But art is
a means of evoking personal experi-
ence in terms which are intelligible
to others and capable of arousing sym-
pathy. Those artists who are most
closely linked to their audiences by
race, tradition, and cultural experi-
ence—who are of the same national-
ity—will arouse most sympathy.

It is a mistake to call music a uni-
versal language, for, although music
does have a universal alphabet, it is
the’ use:.of the vocabulary which
counts, and this-differs greatly from
one people to another. As Sir Hu-
bert Parry says, “True style comes
not from the individual but from
proud fellow workers,” and hence,
“Style is ultimately national,” even
though its appeal may be world-wide.
For example, John Sebastian Bach,
one of the world’s three greatest com-
posers, was inspired chiefly by the or-
gan music of his predecessors and by
the hymn tunes of his own people.

A commonly held fallacy is the be-
lief that an artist lives for himself
alone. If the chief motive of an art-
ist is-the desire to make himself in-
telligible--to—others, then he must
clothe his music in whatever forms
time and circumstances permit. An-
other fallacy is the idea that genius
springs from nowhere. On the con-
trary, great men come at the end of
a period, not at the. beginning, when
smaller men are. finding new paths;
Bach was a great composer because
Germany had the “habit of music”
and generations of lesser craftsmen
had preceded him. Musical history
repeats itself; the twentieth century
is probably an experimental period
like the seventeenth, in which the
ground is being prepared for a great
composer who will appear about_1985,
in a country with the appropriate mu-
sical atmosphere; for genius is a com-
bination of the right man in the right
place at the right time.

Each generation wants something
different and even the greatest music
is not eternal; Bach is only now ap-
preciated after a century and a half
of neglect. The objection that na-
tionalism limits the scope of music

‘and prevents the use of the best from

whatever source possible, is based on
the assumption that there is an abso-
lute good and bad. On the contrary,
the idea of good and bad varies with
hearer, period, and nationality, and
no composer can be universally pop-
ular who has not first appealed to his
own countrymen. Although there are
few great composers, there may be
many sincere ones, who should emu.
late the great masters’ sureness of
purpose by first finding the message
they have to tell, and then, if neces-

We Rise to Protest
The behavior of Bryn Mawr undergraduates at meals has always
been in distressing contrast to their behavior under any other circum-

stances.

The average student is not a barbarian, except during meals

at college, where she closely resembles a representative of the Ice Age.
No one could possibly suppose that Bryn Mawr students’ manners in the

outside world maintain the low plane of their manners in college.

there is no more reason for shouting

than there would be for it at a formal dinner.

Yet
and jostling at meals in Bryn Mawr
The code of table man-

ners was drawn up without exception being made for time or place,
and its object was to make meals as pleasant as possible for all con-
cerned. No one, however optimistic she might be, could truthfully say

that she enjoyed the atmosphere of

the meals at Bryn Mawr. On the

whole they are frightful exhibitions of lack of breeding and considera-

tion for others.

It is true that the formal, quiet atmosphere of a private home or
the restraint present in a public room are conducive to good manners.
It is true that from a technical point of view, Bryn Mawr meals are
not served in: the best of style, but no one could ask more or better

service in a college.

In many schools and colleges the service is wretch-

ed, but it is not looked upon as an excuse for general bedlam. It-will
be argued that meals at college aré a.let-down, but good manners do not.

is leveled at the college as a whole.

Also, we are at any time apt to lapse into our familiar stride outside

its members.

Therefore, this year let us make a determined attempt to raise. the

‘Theatre Review

When Ladies Meet, the latest Ra-
chel Crothers comedy to see Broad-
way, makes it easy for us to forget
her last year’s mishap, and to re-
member: only the author of Let Us
Be Gay and of As Husbands Go.
When Ladies Meet is a trim presen-
tation of Miss Crothers’ slant on
the feminine situation. Mary Howard,
a budding young authoress, has many
theories concerning the question of
the eternal triangle, and herself fall-
ing in love with a married man, has
plenty of opportunity to test their
validity. Face to face, however, with
the wife of Roger Woodruff, she finds
that the ‘duty of the wife—to give up
her husband—does not seem quite so
obvious as before.” In fact, when la-
dies meet, it is the man who pays.

Obviously, this is a play with -a
theme. The characters, however, are
none the less. well-drawn; they are
really three-dimensional, their per-
sonalities filled out as the play pro-
ceeds. It is as if we saw someone
day after day, slowly getting really
to know and understand them. Mary
Howard, with her sincerity and blind-
ness; Roger Woodruff, the restless,

.. but fundamentally constant, husband;

_ Claire; his fine and perceptive wife.
Nor can one overlook Bridget Drake,



is she who keeps the.play from drag-
seem — too |e a :

minded her husband’s unfaithfulness
far more than his death; when a
man dies, “at least you know it isn’t
your fault.”

Jimmie Lee, played in-a most
sprightly way by Walter Abel, was
also far more than mere comic relief.
I have to admire Miss Crothers’ in-
genuity in making him the pivot of
the action. It is through his inter-
ference, for he is in love with Mary,
that the two rivals are, quite natur-
ally and convincingly, brought to-
gether unknown to one another, and
can thus meet on an unprejudiced
basis. Indeed, When Ladies Meet is
admirably constructed and altogeth-
er, what with its humor, characteri-
zation and ideas, a very pleasant
play. It is true, of-course, that the

‘|acting contributes .greatly to its suc-

cess. Its smoothness and naturalness
give us that feeling of, intimacy which
is so essential to the play. Frieda
Inescort, as Mary Howard, brings
real sympathy to the part. As for
Selena Royle as the wife, she creates
a very fine type of heroine.

It is also true, that it would not
be very difficult for a play of any
talent to outshine the offerings of the
current season. Yet though Miss
Crothers’ play is not great, at any

ommend it.—L. C,i"-

The halls were filled with tremulous
scales ‘a

And shrill, protesting,. long-drawn |.
wails.

Ma’, Willoughby tried me at the piano,
He found I could not sing soprano,
And so far as the poor man reckoned
I really never could sing second.
He tried again—in a lower place;
My voice could only be called base.

So mournfully I try to croon

And keep some semblance of a tune;

It’s second soprano to which I’m as-
signed

But my air is of a nondescript kind—

My voice goes into a coloratura
squeak

And then crashes down to a basso
deep,

While in the middle part I waver

And nervously begin to quaver.

I fear I need a pointed moral:

Do Not Attempt Expression Choral—

Choirs were never instituted

For one who rightly should be muted.

when two pleasant-looking young
things walked in, wrapped up in
what we took at first to be a Philo-
sophic argument. ~ =

. “Well, I cerainly wouldn’t try it
with just the hammer—”

“But,. your audience, your audi-
ence, they’ll laugh right in our ‘face.
It’s comedy ne way. aside never

The other one was floored by that
for a moment, but only for a moment.

“No,” she came back, “I don’t agree,

with you. That’s the way I see it.
It seems perfectly natural to me, I
don’t see that you’re going to help
anything by crucifying a child. I’m

lence and the ghastly ‘smile\on her
face, we were sure that she was do-
ing just that—feeling it. “You know,”
she said, dreamily,“‘one really should
experience the thing to be sure of

books and cigarettes and made for the
door\as: quietly as possible, but as we
left they started again.

her hand down on the table with a
gesture that would have driven any

fixion, brutal murder, or rape—Now
there’s an idea!”

News of the
New York Theatres



Robert Edmond Jones has taken
over the task of designing the sets
for Katherine Cornells’ production of
The Rape of Lucrece, which was spe-
cially translated from the French by
‘Thornton Wilder. We wonder if Gene
Tunney helped him. Deems Taylor
has contributed the accompanying
score.

The failure of the dramatization
of The Good Earth to hold water is
not surprising. The evolution in the
book was too gradual, and the setting
too all inclusive to fit -on a stage.
Percy Hammond expressed the situ-
ation when he said, “Drama can put
men and women on the stage, but not
the good earth.”

Courtney Burr who last year took
it on the chin with his production of
Hamlet, with Raymond Massey, is
trying again with a musical entitled
Walk A Little Faster (temporary ti-
tle—and one can see why). Beatrice
Lillie and Clark and McCullough will
officiate. Mr. Burr had the idea in
his head long ago and told everyone
Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley
would bear the laurel in the triumph.
The only hitch in the plan was that
he neglected to notify those worthies

of their fall job, and when they did.

get wind of it, they quit anyhow.

- The theatre continues to foster its
passion for plays about hospitals and
all their accompanying horrers, hu-
man and otherwise. Two plays devot-

ed to the man who does the job on the}

ailing public: are opening ‘this week:
The Surgeon, by Anthony Young, and

VOTE DEMOCRATIC



, (Especially Contributed by Anita
Fouilhoux, Chairman of the
Democratic Committee.)

There is one thing which everybody
seems to agree upon, and that is that
the last few weeks of campaigning
before election day are a nightmare
of wild arguments and dramatic mo-
ments, As the famous—“with-your-
morning-cup-of-coffee,” Lippman says,
there are really few definite party is-
sues anyway. Each candidate must
appeal to the majority of voters, who
are of many diverse thoughts and
opinions, and to do this is impossible
with an uncompromising adherence
to any one political belief. Therefore
both parties go over again and again
the same well-worn arguments of pro-
hibition, budget-balancing, and farm
relief. Both made gross misstate-
ments and absurd contradictions. In
this: frenzied state of political strate-

gies, we find the Democratic party-

Vstaunchly standing, or rather, if
straw votes may be considered pro-
phetie of the future, we see this party
steadily gaining ground, as the day
of election draws nearer.

The Democratic platform stands
for action, and we need now more
than ever a government that must not
apologize for lack of action. The
first and most effective of the State
plans for bringing about relief was
the New York plan as designed by
I’'ranklin D. Roosevelt.
cr was assuring the country that,
“Prosperity is just around the cor/
ner,” Roosevelt had appointed a com-
mittee in New York State. to stabi-
lize industry during the crisis which
he saw coming. If President Hoover
is forced to act, he does well, but his
inactivity is hard to disturb. As yet
he has not been convinced of the dis-
astrous effect of the Hawley-Smoot
tariff; of the fallacy of our Asolation
from the rest of the world, By not
co-operating with foreign /countries,
we have brought about calamity. to
ourselves. ._Our country, which is
clamoring for trade, has shut its
markets to imports of manufactured
goods and foreign investments. The

Democratic party has put forth a plat-

form full of yital ation, and Franklin

D. Rogsevelt, as he has already prov-
ks

































While Hoov- |/

ed himself, is a man of action, who,
with his party behind him, will carry

that we shall really get around the
proverbial “corner” where lies our
long lost friend.

In this campaign of 1932, the youth
of the country is playing practically
no part at all. It cares little about

nomic life. Of course, we sophisticat-
ed young things abhor such ideas as
political youth-movements, but it is
up to us to do some real thinking and
some active doing to help put the
country once more back again on its
feet. As a body we certainly ought
not to be prejudiced by our ancestors’
conservative opinions or any capital-
istic business enterprise which we are
undertaking. We are free to support
the active platform of the Democratic
party and its leader, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who has proven his ener-
getic ability.

sary, by studying the means of ex-
pression abroad.

Specialists are necessary in mate-
rial things, but we cannot hire peo-
ple to be musical for us any more
than we can hire them to be brave
for us. In England, the idea that
art was beneath a gentleman sprang
up in the eighteenth century when
political power fell into the hands of
uncultured landed gentry. German
music was to a great degree import-
ed by the German king, and a taste
grew up for extraneous music. A
stranger, however, is always most in-
terested in the art which expresses
the characteristics of the natives, and
a country whi¢h*takes music passively
has no artistic vitality.

The raw material of great music
is in the home; the concert audience
applauds merely the finished product.
As Parry says in the “Evolution of
the Art of Music,” Music is sub-
ject_to the law of evolution; there is
no difference in kind, only of degree,
between Beethoven and the folk sing-

er. Perfection of form is as possible

to primitive as to ‘elaborate music.”
Since musical science is not a set: of
arbitrary rules, but an explanation of
phenomena, the folk music of uncul-
tured men should be beautiful, even
though unself-conscious and spontane-
ous. It is an indigenous, purely na-
tional art, growing straight from the
needs of the people.

As a sample of English folk music,
the college choir, directed by Dr. Wil-
liams and accompanied by Mr. Wil-
loughby, sang three songs from Cecil
Sharpe’s collection of folk tunes: The
Cuckoo, It’s A Rosebud in June, and
The Sailor From the Sea. Their ren-
dition was distinguished by excellence
of diction, sweetness of tone, and deli-
cacy of shading.

In conclusion, Dr. Williams summed
up his thesis of the value of folk-song
in the words of Gilbert Murry: “Not
the imagination of one great poet,
but the cumulative imagination of
many successive generations contains
the spiritual life-blood of a people.”

The next lecture of the series, “On
the Nature of Folk-song,” will be de-
livered Thursday evening, October 27.

Hoover Leads in Move-
ment Toward Stability



Platform Has Prohibition
‘Amendment Plank and Sup-
ports Farm Board

FAVORS WORLD, COURT





(Especially Contributed by Louise
Balmer, Chairman of the Repub-
lican Committee)

The Republican Convention, which
opened June 14, 1932, in Chicago, to
renominate Herbert Hoover for Pres-
ident of the United States, had be-
fore it only one task of major im-
portance, that of formulating a plat-
“form. ~To do this the Convention had
to take into account the increasing
feeling against prohibition and in fav-
or of repeal of the 18th Amendment.
Besides this issue, the chief planks
of the platform cover +mhemployment
and relief, the monary system, ag-
riculture, tariff, 4 declaration in fav-
or of entrance of the United States
into the World Court, and a pro-
posal to place public utilities under

more stringent regulation’.

After a brief introduction telling
of the accomplishments of the party
during itshistory;-the—platform—re-
cites the record of President Hoover
during his untiring leadership in the
movement to bring about economic re-.
covery. His constructive statesman-
ship toward .restoration of normal
conditions is represented by his eco-
nomic program, which included
strengthening of banking laws, the
creation of the Reconstruction Fi-
nance’ Corporation, the National
Credit Association, and his latest ef-
fort to bring about relief by doubling
the capitalization of the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, together
with a loan of $300,000,000 for direct
relief.

The platform upholds the present
monetary system and opposes any
measure which might undermine the
credit of the government. It also pro-
poses a Home Loan Discount System
designed to encourage home owner-
ship’ by making possible long term
credits for homes on more stable and
favorable terms.

‘The Prohibition plank recommends
that the people should pass a propos-
“ed amendment, which, while “retain-
ing in the Federal Government: pow-
\ er to preserve the gains already made
\in dealing with the evils inherent in
the liquor traffic, shall/ allow the
States to deal with the problem as
their citizens determine, but subject
to the power of the Federal Govern-
ment, to protect those States where
Prohibition may still exist and to safe-
guard \our citizens everywhere from
the return of the saloon.” | Govern-
ment regulation of liquor was pro-
posed. \

The farm plank supports the Farm
Board and pledges further extension
of the co-operative marketing act and
promises Tariffs to relieve the farm-
er. It also fayors the promotion of
a land-utilization policy.

The tariff plank declares that, ex-
cept for the tariff act, the condition
of the country would have been much
worse, and recommends that the flex-
ible tariff be employed to correct any
evils that may exist in tariff duties.

The foreign’ policy’ plank promises
facilitation of world intercourse, free-
ing of commerce from \all unneces-
sary impediments;-and the settlement
of international affairs by ¢aqnciliation.
American entrance into ~ World
Court was also advocated.

Unemployment relief is reegmmend-
ed, together with loans for that pur-
pose to the States. Revision of Vet-
-erans’ legislation to eliminate in-
equalities and to effect all possible
economics is advised. The labor aan

favors the principle of high wages,
continuation of restricted immigration
laws, collective bargaining by organ-
ized labor and favors arbitration
settle every dispute. Constructiv
regulations for rail, air and water-
ways and the development of the St.
Lawrence River waterway were réc-
_ ommended. Rigid laws against gang-

5

sters, racketeers, and kidnappers .were
favored.

Reorganization of the government
bureaus and the need for constructive
economy were stressed, and legislation
was recommended to correct the situ-
ation and so reduce the tax burdefi. °,

The platform closed with the final
recommendation for a Congress and
Chief Executive united in principles
and, program in order to insure the
recovery of the country and that re-
turn E prosperity which every Amer-
ican desires.

dustry by business and politics; begin-

cion by the State, and for the con-

of things of first importance, bread

paid enough so that it can buy what
it needs, management not so much
but that it can spend what it makes.
It recognizes the absurdity of de-
‘manding the payment of war debts

that ‘since national independence is

ognition of Russia is the merest in-

[Book Review







In The Family Circle Andre ‘Mau-
rois has gathered together all the best
elements of his earlier work and “has
achieved a very well-rounded novel.
The same fine qualities which render
Disraeli such a great biography have
been. incorporated, and make his fic-
titious. character, Denise’ Herpain, a
vivid living personality.’ The interest
displayed. in the complex relation-
ships existing between a husband and
his wife, and between the wife and
her lover betray Maurois as the man
who wrote The ‘Atmosphere of Love.
The Family Circle deals principally
with the subtleties of family life, -up-
holds a fatalistic attitude toward he-
redity, and describes accurately with
an almost “genre”-like use of detail
French life and character both in the
provinces and in, Paris.

When reduced to formula, the novel
is largely a study of Denise, the eld-
est daughter of a wool merchant, who
occupied a fairly high social position
in his own small. industrial world.
From the age of six, Denise felt that
her life had been warped and twisted
from its normal course by her moth-
er, who was “hypocritically” unfaith-
ful to her husband, a weak, but hard-
working man. The scandal mongers
among the neighbors acted as if the
guilt of the mother had been reflected
upon the daughter, even during the
latters early school years at the con-
vent. Denise, gifted with both intelli-:
fence and beauty, endowed with a
strong and rebellious brain, but a re-
ligious and musical soul, seemed al-
ways to be lacking in equilibrium. She
grew up imagining that she hated her
youthful and eternally — beautiful
mother, Germaine, and she resolved
to benefit by the example set before
her, by being scrupulously faithful to
her own husband. An ironic fate
played its part, however, and Denise,
“the brave, courageous, and. the
brave,” found herself swept into the
predestined path, which lead her from
a romantic student lover to a timid,
uninspired husband, and finally to an-
other lover. The family circle was
thus perfectly rounded out. The end-
ing is somewhat unsatisfactory as it

‘shows Germaine as the happy wife of

the famous surgeon who had been her
lover during her husband’s lifetime,
and it leaves Denise, disillusioned and
unhappy, but more or less resigned to
live without Jove, and to become the
silent partner of her husband.

crashing past Gill’s guard and tieing

Yaeger made another goal, which was

Movie Review

Six Hours to Live, this week’s pre-
sentation at the Roxy Theatre in New
York, is very heartening to those of
us whom experience has taught to
mistrust. advance notices; here is at
least one picture which, whatever its
faults, can truly be called “something |
novel in screen entertainment.” The
story concerns the strange experi-
ence of a diplomat, who, at an as-
sembly of various” nations, refuses
to cast a vote which will ruin his
country... The vote must be unani-
mous, and his is the one dissenting
voice. A final meeting is called for
cleven that evening; in the mean-
time’ our hero is strangled. Luckily,
however, he happens to be at. the
house of a professor, who has also

latter has just completed an inven-
tion whereby he can restore a dead
rabbit to life—for six hours. This
he does before the very eyes of his
host and the police commissioner.
Then, very must against their wills,
he tries his skill on the dead diplo-
mat. As he-says, “Why not?” In a
few minutes, Paul Onslow breathes
once more. But, like the rabbit which
is hopping about the room, he has but
six hours -to live.

Almost ‘immediately -. we realize
that-a great change has. taken. place
in’ Paul. He seems to be trailing
clouds of glory, and somehow he has
acquired superior knowledge. He
now knows, for instance, that his fi-
ancee really loves not him, but her
former suitor. Moreover, he bears a
charmed life. His car is smashed
against a house, but he is unscratch-
ed, and arrives at the council just in
time to cast his vote. After also
punishing his murderer—how, we are
never told—he returns to the profes-
sor’s house as the rabbit begins tq
fail. Soon he, too, is dead.

The story, it seems to me, is an:
extraordinary combination of the un-|
usual and the*sentimental; along with
the idea of the restoration of the dead
through the power of science, we find’
the notion of the blissful after-life.

And what could be more convention-

Possibly the greatest fault of the |
picture is the inconsistency of tone.

almost comic, he is cheating the au-|
dience of the thrill of awe, and |
wasting skillfull photography. With |
the presence of Warner Baxter, on |
the other hand, the tone veers to the |
opposite extreme; except for one mo-
ment of smugness, he has that “far-
away look in his eyes,” which sur-
rounds him with an aura of mystery.
And what could be more eerie than
the scene.in the church, where he ap-

the effect of the war upon the status

of the effects of the war would be to

In Defense of American Youth

(The two following articles are felt
tobe particularly timely in view of
the current, interest evinced by the
American press in the efféct of the
depression upon the present college
generation, and the increasing inter-
est shown by untlergraduates in the
approaching election.—Editor.)
e STUDENTS AWAKENING |

PM Laitora: Hom “the pdt) ‘Tyojan) ||

+ }Usually it is with frank amazement
that American college students read
6f the political activities of their for-
eign fellows. The predominance in
news of European, Asiatic and Latir.
America political disturbances of suca
phrases as “rioting students,” “dele-
gation of students,” “student revolu-
tionaries,” and other. significant ex-
is curious in the United
States.

The apathy of American youth in
higher institutions of learning as re-
gards the government of their nation
has been so often castigated that it
was positively a relief for sympathiz-
ers and well-wishers to hear of the
miniature political conventions held
this spring at: several colleges and
universities. Students of Republican
and Democratic convictions convened,
nominated candidates, heard and made
speeches, and drew up platforms.

‘That form of political interest is
laudable and
But it took the words of

‘to express’ the form that the next
We quote President
Ernest H. Wilkins, of Oberlin, in .a
‘recent address to his studeht body:
. “You were playing a game then,”
he said, referring to Oberlin’s con-
vention. “For the rest of your lives
play the reality.”

In what does playing the reality
consist? Obviously in a firm deter-
mination to be a citizen in every sense
of the word. And “for the rest of
your lives” means beginning here and
now.

The situation is hopeful. Open-
eared observers on S. C.’s campus are
quite aware of an increasing interest
in national political problems among
the rank and file of students. Dis-
cussions: of a political nature are
everywhere.

More overt cause for optimism is
the formation of campus political
clubs. Whether created for tempor-
ary support for current candidates
or whether permanent organizations,
the spirit behind them is a worthy
one. Perhaps, after all, the Ameri-
can student is going to manifest him-
self in the political affairs of his gov-
ernment—not by rioting or inciting
revolutions, but by determined, ,stead-
fast efforts to show that he isn’t the
nonentity he has been taken for.

Is it an overstatement to say that
if more college students took an in-
terest in government that was bound
to be carried through’ their post-
collegiate days, such institutions as
Tammany Hall, such corruption and
graft as are prevalent in the United
States today would be either non-ex-
istent or impotent?

“Wherever the demand for profound

have most drastically reviscd their so-

“In those highly developed coun-

however, merely the current picture.
Even in these countries, if the vital-

with the short time in ‘which it has

awakening of youth to super-personal
problems is advancing at. a rapidly
accelerating pace.—(NSFA.)
