Bates House Allure

Is Depicted by M. Lee}



Taking Care of the Tenement
Children Is as Amusing
.. as Betfeficial. :



MORE TEACHERS NEEDED



(Specially: Contributed by
Marjorie Lee, Assistant to Bates: House)
*“Come play with us, teacher,” shouts
a chorus of lusty young voices, while

large black eves, quick. to sorrow. if

refused, dance and sparkle with pre-

meditated mischief.
After the first day, when the effects
of a long, hot train-ride from the city

have worn off in a thorough scrubbing |

and clean Bates House clothes, the

Italian tenement children are rushed
merrily into their daily round of
swims~in the ocean in the morning,
swims in the afternoon, and strenuous
playing in the backyard, on slide and

wing and see-saw..

_ The sun and the salt air have a
magical effect. _ During. _nap .. time,
which is extended as long. as_ the
“teachers”. see fit for disporting them-
selves in the Long Branch. Nils some |
ofthe children have been known to|
sleep so soundly that when they woke

—up- they asked “if they must brush their |

teeth now, before breakfast. And at
night there is: even less trouble over
getting to sleep, so that, after a story
or two, “teacher” is: quite free to go
off and admire her favorite movie

hero, exchanging, on the way, humor-.

ous anecdotes of the day with her
boon companions. Two. girls, of
course, are left ‘in charge of the little
Sinisgalis and Padulas, but their turn
at the movies, or the amusement and

the boardwalk, ‘will come the’ next
night. During the day, too, each
“teacher” has several hours to herself

when it is not her turn with the chil-
dren.

Some. girls go.down-toBates-House
from college for clean-up week, right
after exams, and give their minds full
opportunity for recovery from recent
mental strain by freshening the place
up with paint, and laying out rows of
white combs and toothbrushes, night-
ies and pajamas, for the coming
throng. *

For those who go for two weeks
with the children—and: you can stay
longer—life is a- succession of amusing
incidents, quite novel in their unex-
pectedness.

or a fireman, and of their doughty
deeds... And. you will notice the enor-
mous devotion , of ‘small sister, four
and a half, for big brother aged eight;
or the tyrannical rule of little brother
over big brother, who, though gentle
enough to members of his own fam-
ily, is not averse to an occasional trial
of fists with anybody else’s big brother.

The origin of all this was the gift
of a house at Long Branch, N. J., by
Mrs. H. Roswell Bates, to be used, in
memory of her husband, as a vacation
home for tenement children: The
financial end of it is fairly adequately
accounted for by our share of the
League pledges, and by the proceeds
from the sandwiches sold on campus.
The real.problem in conection with
Bates House is the lack. of “teachers”

weeks or more to take care of the chil-

Summer School Fias Own
Lantern Night Ceremony

Probably few undergraduates are
aware of the existence of another Lan-
tern Night, which is no less impres-
sive and possibly more significant than
ours, although very different. For the.
summer school it symbolizes the eight
weeks spent at Bryn Mawr.

On the last evening, as Miss But-
terworth tells us, there is a banquet in

Pembroke dining room. Then,’ just
before dark, the girls go to the
Library. The guests sit on the grass

between the fountain and the Library

side of the Cloisters, while the : girls

enter singing: ,

“With eager feet we come to thine
altar,

Lantertis are lighted from ‘every ‘land.”
They wear bright-colored. dresses and
walk..slowly,. though. informally,—to-a
stone altar covered with ivy which is
in the center of the Cloister lawn.
They are met by a figure representing
Wisdom. Then she and four hand-
maidens, tall girls with good voices,
hold a dialogue with—foug others in
bright tunics, who represent workers.
By now it is completely’tark:” “Phe
handmaidens kindle, their torches from
Wisdom, and then -fire-the altar;-from

which the girls then light their blue |.
| lanterns.

_ Dhey...walk out singing the
school song which is to a Russian
folk- tune. _ :

There are no tenineel voices, but
many ‘born singers; the school has a
number of Russians* and Germans.
They -know their songs well, having
sung them often at the evening gath-
erings iti Denbigh.

The ~next morning they leave in
buses... But, however different their
future life from that of the recreation
and study at Bryn Mawr, the «memory
of Lantern Night is inspiration in
their struggle for improvement.



Abbey Players Return
After Seventeen Years

Having closed the famous Abbey
Theatre in Dublin for the season, the
‘company that has sustained the high
repute of that great playhouse, directed
by the manager and director of the
Abbey Theatre, "Mr. Lennox Robinson,
is in’ America for the season and will
appear here in “The Playboy of the
Western World,’ Noveinber 10.

Seventeen years have elapsed since
the Abbey Players last visited Amer-

ica, yet their wonderful acting and the |

vivid realities presented by their un-
usual plays are still poignantly
membered by all who heard them.
Founded by Lady’ Gregory,. William
Butler. Yeats and_ others, the Abbey
Theatre has been for over twenty
“years a Gultural center for-the—Irish
people. Here the greatest
plays pf the Irish dramatists have had
their first offering, including some of
Bernard Shaw's, most of J. M.
Lennox Robinson’s, Lady
sean O’Caseys, George Shiel’s, Wil-
liam Butler Yeats’; T. C.. Murray’s,
St. John Irvine’s and of many others.

Art Club Organized:

The Art Club has been reorganized
after a temporary lapse of activity last
year. It meets Saturday mornings
from 9:30 to,12:30. There is no in-
structor, because ofethe difficulties and
expense involved in procuring one.
The members thus feel’ free each to
follow her own individual manner ana
technical method. There is a model,

obtained usually from among the stuy

dents at college, at‘ every meeting, and
mediums used are charcoal, ‘oils;
water colors and colored chalks, The
club is being run on a semester basis
because of the possibility of May Day
in the second semester, and the dues
are, four dollars for painting this se-
méster and three dollars.and fifty cents
for. charcoal work. ;

Inspiration

After college ceremonies, such as Lantern and Banner Nights, we
are perfectly willing to comment upon the value of tradition, but for
some time iow we have had the secret longing to feature another aspect.
And that is the singing of ““Thou-Gracious. Inspiration.” With the first
note we feel vague stirrings of discomfort, which, however, grows rapidly
into embarrassment as the song proceeds. Not only is it always pitched
too high, but, despite honest effort it has no unity or richness of tone.
What harmonization there is, is in sixths or thirds, those bugaboos of all
choral directors. But the average singer cannot be expected to work out
an alto by herself, and we-for one have never laid eyes on the music.
What we suggest, therefore, is that each Freshman class be taught to
sing the song as it is the Greek hymns. This could be done quite easily
at Lantern Night practices, or during Freshman Week, say at the Under-
graduate Picnic at Wyndham. Then, whatever the effect of the other
songs, the college hymn will adequately express our feelings and will add
to the significance of the occasion.



A Step Towards Solution
In the “New York Times” of Saturday, October 17, appeared the
headlines, ““American sits with the League Council to apply Kellogg
Pact to Manchuria; gets a warm welcome.” These lines were not, par-

under discussion for some days. Neither did their significance strike
many readers since the occasion is only an incident in the whole ques-
tion of the crisis in Manchuria and impending war between China and
Japan. “But one cannot help reading into this incident, however small
and ineffectual it is, a step towards that international co-operation in the
achievement of: World peace that no amount of. negotiation has been able

to bring about.
For ten years the United States has been maintaining a platform of
theoretical isolation, refusing to go into the League lest she become in-
volved in quarrels that are not her immediate concern. In spite of this
policy, in a time of stress the League has invited the United States to sit
with them as a non-voting auditor and the United States has. accepted.
Thus something that policies could not effect has come about in the
natural course of events and perhaps we may dare to believe that world
peace and international Congeniality are growing nearer and ever. more
possible and that they also will come about in the course of events. We
have rio vote in the Council and can only discuss on points concerning
the Kellogg Pact, but in making that pact a part of the League machinery
we have put it to a concrete use, and that in itself is another link in peace-
ful negotiations between nations. Some Americans feel that since the
United States has chosen not to join the League-they should keep out
of it altogether. Others hope that from this non-voting, temporary. seat

For the benefit of the clear-eyed

fight in its blood (which has not yet

but to the unfortunate specimen. that

ignorant, and probably a little burly,
long before Pembroke’ had such con-,

out of the forest and into Pembroke’s

from our point of view, this caused no
great stir, for the campus was simply
overrun with meese at that ‘time. In
fact, they were becoming a nuisance,

and the student body had adopted the

policy of ignoring them, in an effort to
discourage ariy further advances.

maidens attacked the problem of
moose-feasts as a_ tri-weekly affair.
Plans were almost perfected when the
Dean of that decade issued a _procla-
mation prohibiting the hunting. of
meéese by the students or faculty on
the grounds that it would take too
much time from their work and sub-
ject them to too great a nervous strain
(the students, not the meese, although
there is something to be said for both
sides). Riding from class to class:on
tame meese was prohibited, along with
swinging on antlers, as a dangerous
practice. In short, the moose-incident
was turning out to be a mere flash in
the kettle (pan not being used at this
time). i

A little~baffled, put unwilling to ‘let
their=last- wan-hope -slip ‘f rom: sight,
the maidéis devised another scheme.
They took the head of this unfortu-
and mounted him above the doof, hop-
ing that other meese, moved by anxjety
for their brother or by the Same curi-
osity which had undone him, would
venture into the hall as he had done,
where they could be dealt. with in the
same way. : sore

It seemed an excellent plan, and
might easily have brought results but
for an unfortunate oversight. The
taxidermist neglected, in his efforts’-to
erase the death agony from _ the
moose’s face, to eliminate from his
eyes that look of wondering horror,
which may be seen*there to this day.
When, within a month or two, another
moose did come to stand without the
open portals of the hall, the dying look
of his fellow. warned him in the nick
‘of time, and he fled. Week after week
the maidens waited, but although now
and again a moose would stand with-
out the doors, none ever entered.

It became apparent that there had
been a mistake, but the community
was already appreciably-weakened and
there was no one who would attempt
to rectify it. Anyway, it had become
a tradition by this time, so they let
it go, and lived as best they could. on
the golden memory of one wonderful
night.

Book Reviews
“Shadows on the Rock,” by Willa
Cather; Alfred A. Knopf,-New York.

and “Death: Comes for the Archbishop,”
the name of Willa Cather alone will be
sufficient promise of all the beauty and
brilliancy of her latest book, “Shadows
on the Rock.” The setting is an entirely
new one for Miss Cather, but she has
captured as completely and. painted as
happily the French colony in the seven-
teenth century as she did the western
prairies.

“The proud rock of Quebec” lifted its.
spires out of the middle of the sweeping

St. Lawrence between uncharted forests
and “the purple line of the Laurentian ©
mountains.” Heré stood the grey stone,
steep-roofed Chateau Saint-Louis, home
of the Count de Frontenac, Governor
General of Canada; and here came:
Euclid Auclair, apothecary to the Count;
from his tiny shop in the Quai des Celes-
tins, Paris. Amid the bitter hate of the
two bishops, the noiseless footsteps of'
nuns, and the chatter of children, Auclair
lived throughout the lifetime of the
Count, and his little daughter, Cecile,
grew up a child of the wild New World,
and married Pierre Charron, fur-trader
-and—“coureur. de. bois!”

out of French colonial history, and like
all history it has no plot but is an un-
folding of events beginning in birth and:
ending in death, never seeing ahead.
Miss Cather has arbitrarily cut ‘a’ piece
out of the unfolding, beginning in 1697
on the October aftérnoon when the last
summer ship sailed for France, and last-
ing through-one year to the death of the

of- the -arrival of the first ship from
France on an August day fifteen years:
later. In the story of that one year

Frontenac, Euclid Auclair, and his.
daughter Cecile; the people, the archi-
tecture, the religion, the daily life of
“Kebec’; and its background in the
mother country across the sea.

Miss Cather’s style is like good paitit=
ing, done in the fewest and simplest lines
but rich in ‘content. Her description has
all the color of water, of autumn woods,
and grey stone convents; and the sounds
of chimes and market cries, Her char-
acters are familiar and_unidealized. The
charming and unpractical Count de Fron-
tenac, Euclid Auclair wise and sympa-
thetic, old Bishop Laval, and the little
boy of the wharves, Jacques, are living
persons.

Those who know Willa Cather’s writ-
ing will find in “Shadows on the Rock”.
her same superb. art clothing an even
more fascinating subject than any of her
formér novels; and those for whom this
is the first introduction to Miss Cather
will find themselves entering a new and
enchanted realm. GB, G.

The day dawned. bright and clear,



. and at six o’clock our warden tip-toed
in to wake us, but we were already

* awake, and when she leaned over the
bed we said, “Boo, Auntie, just think,
we're going to Pr-ale-vard for the big
game today!” We scrambled out of
bed as fast as we could, because we
didn’t want to be late, not for the big
game. Auntie told us to eat a big
breakfast because she said we wouldn't
get much to eat over. the week-end.
She said college boys aren’t much in-
terested in food. Betsy and I could
hardly believe that, because mother
says that growing boys are supposed
to eat lots of food, but when we got
there we found that Jim and Harry
hardly ate anything; in fact, one or
the other of them was always leaving
the table to get something fixed up.
We wore our best’ dresses—we haven't
had them on since the War Veterans’
picnic last summer, and Betsy looked
too darling. She .had a new ribbon
around her hair too, but at the game
some man took it off, and tried to
wear it. He was sort of an old-man
and seemed kind of silly, “but mother
always says that at football games the
aliimni get so excited they don’t know
what they're doing. Auntie put. ‘us
on the train and said to be very quiet
all the way and to be sure and get off
at Pr-ale-vard so Jim and Harry could
meet us. She said they were sure to
be there, because college boys always

they used to. We got off but we

your pardon,” like mother said to, he

as I would hate to have Harry think
that I would talk to strange men. We
reached Pr-ale-vard at ten-thirty, and
Jim and Harry arrived at noon. They
sdid they had a class and couldn't
make it. We understood and ‘said
nothing more about it. We got’a taxi
and went around “to their rooms to seé
a picture of Harry’s dog. When we
got there Jim and Harry had.to go
to another class—I guess it Was a
Botany class because Harry called
back to Jim not to forget the lemons.’
Betsy and I didn’t mind because we
know how it is with classes. We
looked around the room and found
lots of things; then Betsy suggested
playing dress-up.. We could put on
some of Harry and Jim’s clothes and
surprise them. We opened the closet
and the funniest smell we.ever smelled
came out—sort of witch hazel, and
shoe polish, and eau de cologne, all,
mixed up. We were looking for shoes
when we found a funny-looking bucket
with a jug in it under the laundgy bag.
It said “Williams’ Star Brand Cider

Betsy and I had little colds we
thought we might try some. Betsy

' The Good Earth
by Pearl. Buck

Wang Lung, a Chinese peasant in
the Good Earth, is influenced always
by his love of land. The young farmer,
marries O-lan, a plain rather unintelli-
gent woman, who cares for his bodily
needs, works side by side with him in
the fields, and bears him sons. For a
short time they are prosperous and
Wang Lung purchases more land; but
when the crop fails they are forced
to go south for food. Wang Lung,
however, will not part with his land.
After two. years the family -returns
and’ are prosperous once more. Re-
peated good crops bring in much silver,
with which Wang Lung purchases
more and more land and increases his
material comfort until he.has built up
a landed manor. His life is. constantly
disturbed, however, by ‘the bickerings
in his family, to which he has added
a second wife; and even his death-bed
is disturbed by the plans of his sons
to sell his.land.

Maupassant has pointed out in his
preface to Pierre and Jean that a care-
ful grouping of significant truths is
necessary to create a complets and
convincing image of life. The author
must select his facts carefully so that
they reproduce for the reader his own
personal vision. of \his material, The
characters must act in accordance with
their natures in.order.to form a plot:
which” ispsychologically sound; “Mrs:
Buck, the author of. Good Earth, has
gathered by means of her extensive ex-
perience in China a wealth of details

the style is so direct and simple that
this alien civilization becomes familiar,
rand the characters human and~under=|
standable. The book ‘is written so
coherently, in fact, that we are able to
recognize the universal implication in
the Chinese peasant’s life, to draw
more from it than: the obvious point
that materialistic life brings tragedy,
not happiness. Maupassant says of a
novelist of this sort, “His aim is not
to tell a’ story, to amuse us, to touch
‘us, but to force us to think, to under-
stand the. deep and _ hidden



sig-
nificance.’ This is the goal which
Mrs. Buck attains. ’
Botany they couldn’t stand up, We

understood, because Betsy and I get
just awfully worn out in Geology.
Harry said he thought we looked on
the ball, but we couldn’t see any balls
around. He must have meant the

but all of a sudden Betsy and I didn’t
feel like eating. In fact, we really felt
like going out doors because being fall

Not of the ride of Paul Revere,
But of where he'd go if he wee here .. .

Now Paul was in a hurry one day
(and not to get ahead of the British)
so he took ‘Mary to Whitman’s, but he
got as far as- Wanamaker’s and decided
that their tea room on‘ the eighth floor
would do just as well. Paul, himself
told Mary that he usually took his. girls
to Childs because the atmosphere there
was better, but when by himself he had
a quick sandwhich lunch at Stauffer’s or
Le Fren Grille on Chestnut Street near
Fifteenth. Mary was the kind of a girl
-whom one could take to such pleasant
respectable places, but she was also the
kind of a girl who would say, “How-
nice. . .... Those are the places I like to
go for lunch. , . . See you there tomor-
row.” But Paul knew how to get ahead
of the British, so he said, “I’m going to
begin trying Horn and Hardart’s auto-
mats ‘tomorrow.” And I suppose you
all heard the story about hunting needles
in haystacks. con

As a matter of fact Paul didn't go to

HOSPITALITY IS PRAISED



i (Specially C. ontributed by
} Betty Hannah, 1932)

Of all the seasons of the year au-
tumn would seem the most generous

-in gifts to Bryn Mawr. The splendor
of red and yellow leaves to whose ap-
pearance Lantern Night is always a
‘fitting prelude, has completely trans-
formed the little world. we call our
campus. On first thought it seems a
far cry from this same world to that
of a great city like Paris. There is,
owever, one connecting link—Paris,
like Bry Mawr, has her trees. All
along the broad avenues and in the
stately gardens the yellow leaves are
falling: they float’on the green-brown
— of the Seine and rustle excitedly
in the miniature squares of the old
Latin Quarter.
| Of our Junior Year in France, we
ave already made. an astonishing
umber of banal remarks; we have
said that it was marvelous, that it was
amen and finally, that it was diffi-
gult. All of’ which is very true, but it
¢xplains nothing. The most unusual.
ature of the” whole éxpérierice was,
f course; our life in French families.
$ a rule, two girls lived together in a
mily. Some decided to live alone,
-.-hut-they- usually found a Swiss girl or
n English girl or even a Polish girl
thar established in their families.
These contacts often proved’ most in-
teresting as we did not have much
opportunity to become : acquainted

with other foreign: students in Paris of |

whom there were, how ever, great num-
bers in our classes at the Sorbonne.
Almost everyorre--wanted to ‘live ‘near
___the university because the houts _of
.- Our classes were very irregular and
we never knew just when we _ should
havea spare moment to run into the
Musie de Cleney across the way or
go down to the Ile de la Ave and
continue the explorations we had so
propitiously begun by making friends
with the little old bell-ringer of Notre
Dame and her lean cat, Quasimoto.
No one was ever aloné in a neigh-
borhood: a_ subtle grouping . existed
whether by chance or not one can
scarcely tell. A great many lived near
the Invalides, Some-near the Beaux
Arts or the Luxembourg gardens or
along the quais; a few lived in the
Montparnasse section and only two
lived as far as. Montmartre.
didn’t object to living far out ‘there
were families near the: Champ de Mars
—a beautiful section especially in the
springtime. The. first. few -weeks,
spent largely in learning the various
routes from our new “homes” to those
of our friends, revealed the amazing
variety that Constitutes the life of
Paris. Within but three or four neigh-
boring sections we found no one mode
of living that exactly resembled an-
other, though, of course, the cultural
background was everywhere of ap-
proximately the same quality. One of
the most fascinating of these early
routings of. ours took us to the banks
Sof the Seine where,
Notre Dame from the rear with a
wonder that could only increase as
time went on; we croseed the Quai de
la Tournelle— and, entering san, enor-
mous oak door, found ourselves in a
cobblestone court. As we ascended
the five flights of. broad wooden stairs
the greyness of the court below fell
away from the- window panes giving
#a clear view of the roofs of historic
Paris with their crumpled chimney-
tops—the scene of many a_ nightly
rendezvous of Baudelairean ears.
Here was the home of a. Protestant
minister and his family who sat down
at the dinner table to the number of
ten; ere, if the two Americans
alk ds as one enjoys more in
Paris than anywhere else in the. world,
brought us soon into another section of
the city quite different from the first,
less picturesque perhaps, more like the
Paris of the gay and_ brilliant. nine:

ment on the third floor lived only
Madame and- her twenty-three-year-old
daughter, Genevieve. Genevieve had
been brought up in the traditionally
modest’ fashion of the French girl of
good family. Her father had a large
library which she had never thought
to explore for one does not explore
forbidden territory. Her reading,
however, though so carefully super-
vised had been extensive and served
to develop an unusually alert and re-
tentive mind: Her: experience with
theatres had never gone far beyond
the Comedie Francaise and the classi-
cal matinees at the Odion so one can
imagine her delight at being allowed
to accompany us to the experimental
theatre of the Vieux Columbier to see
“Noe,” the latest production of the
fifteen younger members of the the-
africal avant-garde.

In most of the families our pres-
ence seemed a distinct novelty, al-
though they had usually had members
of. the Delaware ‘Group in former
years. In the first place, we had come
a long way from a country much too
vast to be entirely comprehensible.
We had varied interests and purposes
in life: some were. absorbed in the
theatre and dramatic production, some
intended to teach the French language,
some thought of diplomacy or of eco-
nomics, while others were extremely
interested in journalism. Again we
were so different, one from another,
not only as far as physical appearances
but in temperament.
The. girls of “l’au dernier” were never
the least bit like us. To tell the truth,
the girls of “l’au Jernier” were seldom
popular with us; they never seemed to
do even the simplest things as we did
then. If we objected to” the~fannly
shoemakér or: the. family hairdresser,
we were promptly reinformed that the
“Yau dernier’ had found them
perfectly satisfactory; if we preferred.
tea to hot chocolate, the girls of ‘“l’au
dernier” had never even thought of
such a_ substitution. One thing we
all had in common, we studied too late
at night.”

The average Frenchmen not
globe-trotters. We like to imagine
that they stay at home to practice ‘that
art of hospitality which'they have per-
fected to such an enviable degree. At
any rate, we found that a French social
gathering, no matter what its form,
dinner party or afternoon tea, recep-
tion or soiree dansante, is decidely a
work —of—art. Natural poise-with all
that it implies of ease and grace, ex-
uberance that not from. the
wine glass but from that mysterious

each of the schools Concord Academy,
The Bishop’s School, Dongan Hall,
Germantown High School, Misses
Kirk’s School, | Philadelphia High
School for Girls, Rosemary Hall and
the Wright School. The division be-
tween students prepared in public and
private schools remains'the same. as
last year. Thirteen freshmen were
prepared during. their last three years
entirely by public schools—and—eighty-
five by private schools or in two cases
by a combination of the two. What
is more interesting is that of the sev-
enty-one schools twenty have sent to
Bryn Mawr the ranking student of

their senior classes. This. number
would perhaps be increased’ if all
school records were sent us in a pre-
cise form; a number of schools prefer
to group their students and inform the
college only that the freshman “was in
the first quarter of the class” or “was
high on the honor roll.”

A larger number of the present

freshman class than in any previous

class enter with advanced standing -in
college work. Twenty-two have this
advanced standing in French as against
fourteen last year, four in German,
two in Greek, one in Italian and one
in mathematics. One student in the
freshman class has been admitted to
the sophomoré English course. This is
a line which I am very. interested -in
seeing followed. The college work in-

+cludes-perforcea number of relatively

elementary courses. The student. who
can get rid of them can spend her time
on what is more genuinely college work

it makes real demands, on her ability.

Jackson, at goal, played well, and was

carried the heaviest load of the game,
and, by the half, seemed to be liter-

once did the forwards carry the ball

The GoldeA Cinderella

(Tryout -specially contribiited for the
| NEWws .cospetition. )

Grace George finds her vehicle for the
season in The Golden Cinderella,.a com-
edy written as a setting for the talents
of this famous but aging star. As is
usually the case in a play of this type,
— such rare exceptions as The First
| Mrs. Fraser, the play is the weakest of
vehicles—flimsy, obvious, badly produced,
| badly cast, and offered apologetically in
the apparent hope that the sympathies of
the public for a former favorite, come
to so sad a pass, will be registered in
modest box-office profits. Considered. as
such, The Golden Cinderella could . be
worse. Miss George's part is» charming
and provides an excellent - opportunity
for a full display of her talents.. More
remarkable -is the fact that the ‘small
parts are also fairly good: The staging,
not inappropriately, is a little drear, but
relieved to some extent by attractive cos-
tuming. But the plot, as is to he ex:
pected, is crude, creaky, and noticeably
mechanical.



The plot concerns a wealthy New York
spinster who makes her debut to the
night life of New York at the tender age
of. fifty. Having spent ‘the last thirty
vears of her life behind a brownstone
front, worshiping the memory
brother. John, she-suddenly discovers that
. John had secretly indulged in the marital
bliss he denied -his sisters; whereupon
she sets out to make up for lost. time.

of her



The rest of the plot includes the kid-
napping of the newly-discovered daugh-
ter of brother John for the. purpose of
luring her fond aunt into “an extortion
trap; the effects of Miss George's sin-
cerity, cleverness and charm on these big
bad. gangsters, who. are but. naughty: and
unfortunate children at heart; and how
it is all made to “come out all right in
the end.” The only very good thing
about the play itself is the final curtain,
which falls on a new: Ellen, who is just



discovering that she can still “devastate”
a man with a look, and is trying out
these long unused powers on the family
lawyer, with charming: success.

The acting of both Miss George and
her supporting cast is so very good that,
while it does not hide the flaws of. the
play, to my mind, it completely compen-
sates them. Grace George gives exactly
the performance one expects from her,
making much of her good lines and gloss-
ing over the weaker ones. She is always
