“ReVolution is the animating spirit
of Soviet Collectivism; it is the re-
ligion of the Russian péople and Lenin
is its prophet,”- said Mrs. Jackson
Flemming in.a most interesting lecture.
given in Goodhart, Thursday, Decem-
ber 13.

The Russian “collective,” Mrs. Flem-|
ming went on to tell us, is the factory.
The factories are thought of, not as a
huge ‘mass of stone without personality,
but as a great person in itself. The
workers are made ‘to feel the rhythm
of their machines, and to submerge
their own personalities into that of
the machine. No-one has any in-
,~dividuality, for that is considered: by
«the Soviets asthe‘ one thing to be
fought against among its members. .

When the working hours are over,
the collectivist doés not return to his
family hearth, for that: would be too
He: goes down ifito the
club room of- the factory, chats with

a concert.

‘Children Eat in Unison

‘Fhe factories are equipped with
beautiful nurseries: At feeding time
the mother goes down into the nursery,
feeds her baby, and comes: back im-
mediately. The children are taught
from infancy to think nothing but col-
lectivism. One child, no matter how
young, never sits alone ata table; there
are always four. ‘Then one child ‘gets
spoons, one bread, etc., until everyone
is served, then all eat together—in uni-
son, as it were: After lunch all the
children take naps and are watched by
children of six or seven, not: because it
is imperative that they sleep for any
reasons of health, but because the older
children must become accustomed to
taking the responsibility of their col-
‘lective, though it bé nothing more
important than a nursery. —

If a girl meets a man whom she loves
and would like to marry, there are three
ways in which she may do so. These
ways are all legalized by the state, as the
collectivists are very anxious that large
families may be ‘Yaised to carry on the

brilliance last Tuesday evening. Our
readers ,are tired of hearing how well
the college looked on its red plush
seats in its evening dresses,-and with-
out’ boxes or. dinner-parties before-
hand the society editor soon finds her
fund of enthusiastic comment § ex-
hausted.

Bring in the musical editor then.

&|-Unfortunately. she has succumbed to

,the grip ¢pidemic and is long. past
caring for sweet sounds. We can only
report what impressed the layman.

_ As entertainment, the program could
not have been better. The four play-
ers, who for three years never passed
a day without playing together and
never in all that time gave a public
performance, are examples: of what
real devotion to an idea can’ accomp-
lish. Brilliance is not uncommon in
modern art in any form, but in no art
but music, and .in that only rarely,
can be found such patient and willing
effort. Mr. Alwyne attuned his , play-
ing so_well to theirs: that one might
almost have thougkt he had shared. in
those three years of preparation. ,

_ We are not used, im the Philadelphia
concerts; to hearing encores; and' were
agreeably surprised that what followed
Schubert was not -Borodin,- but .-a
gratuitous extra rieasure. thrown “in.
It was light and charming as encores
should ‘be, and brief as it was pleasant.
The next encore,: played between.-sec-
tions II and III, was even nicer. But
(the. musical editor being ill) we can-
not name either.

-If»-there. was any — Jeet to the
program it was that it was all too
foamy; music of the salon rather than
the concert’hall. We would have liked

resistance.”

After the ‘last nee. the audience
‘applauded wildly and hopefully for full
five minutes. CBut the quartet and Mr.
Alwyne would do no more than come
in and bow.

The program, minus the encores, was
as follows:

lightful, as well as one of the most. dis-
tinguished of French scholars and teach-
ers, Mr. Paul Hazard, ‘Professor “at the
College de France, who ‘will lecture ons
“La Poesie contemporaine.”

Mr. Hazard’s special field is compara-
tive literature, the youngest branch of
literary historys and criticism, which. he
has himself defined as “l’etfort de. saisir
les echanges intellectuels . qui -s’operent
entre les: peuples.”

italiennes, and --he rapidly became one of
the leaders in the field. In 1921, with
Mr. Fernand Baldensperger, he founded
the Revue de litterature comparee, with
its accompanying Bibliotheque, to which

scholars from all parts of the world are
contributors.

Mr. Hazard has often said that for dhe
student of comparative. literature the
study of books ghould be supplemented
by -direct contact with different civiliza-
tions. He himself has traveled widely
in Germany, England, Italy (which he
calls. “ma seconde patrie”),~Spain and
South America. In 1923 he was visit-
ing professor at Columbia for the sum-,
mer session, and this last summer at the
University of Chicago, and he is at pres-
ent visiting professor at Harvard.

Among Mr, Hazard’s nymerous books
and articles, the most recent is the de-
lightful Vie de Stendhal which appeared
last year. He is also joint editor, with
Mr. Joseph Bedier, gf the Histoire
illustree de la litterature franéaise, which
was greeted with enthusiasm~ four years
ago. This year the French Academy has
awarded him the Grand Prix Broquette-
Gonin “pour |’ emSemble de ses oeuvres.”

In speaking of his teaching Mr. Hazard
once said that if he were to write a book
on pedagogy he would include a chapter
entitled “De l’influence des eleves sur le
professeur.” In his teaching he has add-
ed to the qualities of his scholarly work,
the charm and vividness of his presenta-
tion of his carefully documented material
a most lively and generous interest in his
students and their work. To foreign
students especially his kindness has been
unbounded.°: His teaching at the -Uni-
versity,-of -Lyons-was interrupted by the
war, in which he won the Croix de
Guerre, with the citation “Officer.de haute
valeur intellectuelle et morale qui a rendu
de brillants services.- . Plein d’en=
train et anime d’un sefitiment du-devoir
tres eleve, s’ést a maintes reprises offert
spontanement pour accomplir des mis-
sions dangereuses en‘premieré ligne.” At
the close of the war he was appointed to
the Sorbonne where, his class rooms were
filled to overflowing with enthusiastic
students. In 1925 he »was called to the
College de France—the highest honor
which can come to a French professor.

Contemporaty literature is one of Mr.
Hazard’s great™interests, and the subject
of his lecture,.“‘La-Poesie contemporaine,”
can hardly fail to attract the Bryn Mawr
audience for whom poetry, it:seems, has
always a, special appeal.

Miss Peek Offers a More

Aloof Criticism of Play |

Two opinions are always more. inter-
esting than one, particularly when .one is
an undergraduate opinion and the other
from the bosom of the faculty. We know
each other too well; and even the glam-
orous footlights cannot give the iMu-

| sion necessary for netic cmd arama

and lack of prejudice. Miss Peek con-
sented to play the part of the aloof dra-
matic critic; and, strangely enough,
aloofness and familiarity have arrived at
nearly: the same conclusions.

(Specially Contributed by K. Peek, '99)

Mr. Halcott Glover’s comedy, Bellairs,
presented by Varsity Dramatics, proved
to be scarcely a. fair criterion. of the
skill of the playwright, nor of the ability
of the Bryn Mawr players. We feel that
Mr, Glover ought to adopt Mr. Bernard
Shaw’s policy of refusing to allow his
plays to be« performed. under. circum-
stances which necessitate cutting. Bellairs,
essentially a sophisticated, breezy comedy
of the private life of an English artist
who, in spite of himself, is hunted down
in his “retirement” by family résponsi-
bilities, had to be shorn of: most ‘of its
sophistication and_ breeziness before “it
could suitably grace the Bryn ‘Mawr
boards. The actors, in © consequence,

| found themSelves left with a somewhat

flat, thoroughly mediocre piece on their
hands. Most of its raison d’ctre had
been censored, and it responded only
feebly to their very excellent efforts to
carry it. é

Miss Rieser-as Bellairs himself gave on
the whole a convincing interpretation of
the harassed artist.She was. thoroughly
in character throughout her performance,

“temperamental, ” quixotic, and all the

rest of” it. She kept up the tempo-of-the
scenés easily and they pivoted around her
as they were meant to do. There was
not, perhaps, enough contrast in her play-
ing, and her gestures, excellent at first,
tended fo become stereotyped and repeti-
tious. She made the mistake of failing to
give Bellairs the full benefit of his few
expansive, genial moments; his cynicism
was tinged alternately with youthful and
senile malice, never with seasoned
sophistication.

Miss Learned’s Betty Barclay fell
somewhere’ between the pert, pretty
barmaid, and the sharp slavey. She
played the part without real emphasis,

-but with admirable composure and

with charming,moments. Miss Perk-
kins as Dorothy Bellairs looked de-
lightful and acted delightfully. She
was thoroughly convincing as , she
voiced her romantic aspiration to take
to the open road with her young vaga-
bond, Giovanni, who, as played by
Miss Thomas, made such an aspiration
quite understandable. Miss Thomas
with her truly Latin ardour and lucid
common sense made the right contrast
with the cold-blooded, muddled-headed:
English about her. —-

Miss Drake gave perhaps the most
finished piece of acting of the evening.

and Staging.
TWO CRITICS AGREE

Bellairs, a play by Halcott Glover,
was given in Goodhart Hall on Saturday
ftight by. the Varsity Dramatics. Be-
cause it was the first undergraduate pro-
duction in Goodhart Hall, because it had
enjoyed the benefits of professional
‘coaching, and because of ‘the amount of
work that las, been put into it, we went
-with high hopes. We came away dis-
appointed. ‘

Goodhart, 4s always, looked lovely; so
did the. ushers, an unusually numerous
bevy of beauties ; so did the program,
which seeméd to contain, in one capacity
or another, half the -people.in college; so,
finally, when the curtain went up, did -
the stage. The scenery committee had
worked wonders, Varsity Dramatics has
been clamoring for a stage where they
could have adequate scenery, and they
proved themselves in that respect worthy
of it. The scene painters had worked
day and night since Thursday, and the
effect was charming. :

“The first two-acts- were laid-in-a-gar=
den, with a-red brick cottage atthe back,
a blue sky which was cheerful if un-
English, trees peeping aver the high walls
and pleasant garden chairs. The walls
were decked with vines—our own col-
lege vines, looking even better on red
brick than they do on gray stone. :

So we waited eagerly ror the play to
begin. An attractive young girl was say-
ing nasty things to her father, the old

Religion Defaults

Quest for Spiritual Welfare Is
Both Important and

Exciting.
Only about twelve stugénts -had
sufficient erfergy to attend pel Fri-
day morning, December 14. The sub-

ject. which Mrs. Manning chose was
very apropos. She discussed the real
need of Bryn Mawr and other colleges
for religious life and why colleges were
accused of not taking care of that side
of the students’ life. Religion goes by
default rather than by direct under-
mining of beliefs with which~youth
starts-out; A great_deal: of. this is lost
because they thimk there are so many
more exciting things gging-on in col-——
lege, “Young people dite a terrible
mistake,” Mrs. Manning thinks, “in
thus regarding other things as more
exciting ‘than the consideration of the
ultimate good, toward which they can
look forward.” - There is nothing more
exciting than that quest. Students.are
really interested but they have too little
opportunity to see things through.

It might be a good idea, M¥s. Man-
ning suggested, if each member. of the
faculty..could speak during the. year
about this subject. . Rut they could
not on account of the societies. Per-
haps it is for the best that they cannot,
for we are often disappointed when we
hear some one explain their views.
Mrs. Manhing illustrated this:by Mr.
Watson’s lecture on’ Behaviorism.-
After he had brought forward an ex-
cellent idea, he went on to give grue-
some details about married life, also he
defined happiness, “Happiness is an

‘absorption in activity. This idea cer-

tainly. shows no great new creative
effort. It is an animal idéa of satisfac-
tion and absorption in what you are
doing at the moment.

“Spiritual welfare is really preferable
to bodily comfort.” The greatest diffi-
culty is the question of time. That is
all the more reason why we should
take all the opportunities we have be-

just. how civilized: it is for. one’s
conversation to consist of endless
discussions of week-ends and their
ways, of the poorness of college

@®g amount of work thrust upon
us by unfeeling professors, and of
our cleverness in evading as much
of this as possible. If we are forced
to conclude that these are the only
things we are interested in, or the
only things we know anything
about, we must admit that it is

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE

VARSITY PLAYERS
‘Dear Varsity Players:

Here is a wail from an innocent by-
starider—and | “not so. innocent either, if
you “know what I- mean. It is about
“Bellairs”— —not the ‘acting, * which was
much better’ than the play deserved. ‘The
wail concerns itself with the sort of thing
that Rellairs is and represents, also with:
the sort of thing that. might shave been
given in its place.

In a live, experimental. siithteaeia.
full of all kinds of vigorous gmusing and
satirical ideas, why should Bryn -Mawr
College ‘p for-~-three~solid.-acts,: the.

And why, choose a ois to be presented
by a woman’s college, in which the lead-

masculine attire? *

Another-bitter thought with me, is the
ugliness of the production, the ruthless
way in which you have set aside your

deficiencies. Now, what have you ama-
teurs got, that: professional producers
value above all things? As if. you didn’t
know. it—youth, and beauty. And what
did you do. with the two of them in
“Bellairs?” You hid them under wigs
and. make-up, You took the parts of
worldly, sophisticated, middle-aged people,

as fashionable, which isn’t so much better,
and. threw away youspontaneity and
reality, all your natural gifts, for some-
thing artificial, cultivated and, believe me,
very very. hollow.

But ofcourse it is easy to criticize. It
is. And “Bellairs” is not the play. to
make the task nfore-difficult.__So, if-you;
want a chance to come back at me, here
is what I would have liked to see .(A)

production of Aria da Capo (B) some-
thing funny—pantomimes, skits, bur-
lesque on modern life. written and pre-
pared by YOU, (C) if it has to be*three-
acts and ‘modern, a comedy on the type
of Dulcy, in -which:the lead part is play-
ed by a woman. However, I feel that
the three-act play is a mistake. Three
one-act plays would give variety in tone,
caste, ‘setting.. Dunsany, De Musset,
Yeats, Molnar, Schnitzler, Stuart Walker’s
finer things, as his dramatization of “The



Birthday of the Infanta,” are all in, print.
And if you complain: that- these -are too|
“literary,” I can only say that for me
“Bellairs” and his fellows are not literary
enough.

‘What virtue lies in the undistingtished
that
you should load your busy minds with it.
Twenty people, each with a_ beautiful
line to learn would profit more and labor
less than six people each of whom has ta}
jearn ten pages of bad writing. If you.
follow my hesitating advice your “ieee
production will take advantage of the

ortunities you have:..a large stage,

Miss Peek’s Review



CONTINUED” FROM — PAGE 1

” Thos® of the audience who saw Miss
Dyer as the inimitable Aunt from the
Middle West in last *year’s Freshman
plays were perhaps disappointed in her
rather restrained performance as the
Rev. Mr. Mortimer Scrope. She was’ fio
doubt wise, however, in not at all bur-
lesquing her part-and_in-contenting
herself with an adequate, gentlemarily
rendering of the wholly inadequate but
“equally gentlemanly English curate.
Miss Wiegand played her part with
an understanding and the right degree
of sharpness. In Miss Yerkes’ per-
formance one was ever conscious that
here before one was a character part,
but what else can be done with the
proprietor of ati English pub?

Not much was demanded by this play
in the way of. costumes; the “modern
dress” commandeered here and there on
the campus seemed fashionable, becoming i
and well selected. True, Bellairs’ smock
suggested thie dilettante rather than the
artist, and the property committee

slipped up in providing him with un- ,

The scenery for the first two acts: was
well conceived. It might haVe been
executed with more softness—there
was too little ivy and too much _ red
brick!—but it gave to the Bryn Mawr
stage at last a really professional ap-
The second set was devoid
of artistic feeling, the more surprising
since the scene demanded a studio!
But one was’ pleased to recognize the

out. It was rather too bad that with a

It is an old plea, yet one that may
well be repeated, that the Varsity Dra-
matics Committee consider. putting on
plays that are not to be seen elsewhere,
Jrevivals if you like, but in any case
|plays that have some intrinsic literary
and artistic interest. It is surely safer
for the-tindergraduates to depend on
the play to help carry the acting rather
than on the acting to help carry the

Moral Reflections on a Thaw

(As of the W. C. T. U. Year-Book,
about 1880.)
Ah, snow, you were so pure and. clean,
But now your dirty face
In shady corners may be: seen
Confessing its disgrace.
Not all the icicles can tell
Why melted snow is slimy,
Why what was white before it fell,
Fallen, so soon grows grimy.

public-house keeper, who was really a
triumph of make-up and imitation. But
one soon realized that not all the.make-
up in the world, not all the effort on the
part of the actors (and:they did try hard
to.make it go), could make that play, in
those circumstances, a success.
The actors cannot be held responsible.
The fault lay with the choice of the
play. Mr. ‘Halcott Glover, whoever he
is, certainly ‘never intended his comedy
of manners (and what manners!) to be



college. He meant it to be chuckled over

produced by a‘club of amateurs in a girls’

by tired businessmen,,who, we are told,
need ‘that. sort of thing.

Unpleasant subjects ‘should be treated
with sincerity if at all; mere wit may
relieve, but does not distinguish them.
And a drunken old artist, who, after a
life of philandering, knows no better’ than
to confront his ex-wife with a saloon~
‘keeper’s daughter, is an unpleasant. sub-
ject. ; :
Moreover, Bellairs was manifestly un-
suited to the purpose of Varsity Dra-
matics. -Why choose a play requiring
three old men, all over 50? They are the
most difficult of ‘all parts for girls: to
play; and it is to the everlasting credit
of the actors that not-a ‘single member

wea spot the audience thous! at--of- laughing at]

the mere incongruity of it. Why choose
a play all about sex, equally unsuited to
our means? The only explanation seems
to, be that the committee had:heen read-
ing College Humor, and was fired with
an atfybition to live up to it.

Finally, there was almost no action in |:

the play; it ended substantially where it
began;-and what happened in between
was nothing more than talk,

Having got that off our chest, we’ can
give the actors the commendation they
really deserve. If they had a common
fault it was over-acting, acting which

spent itself in loud voices and gestures, |:
seeming to’ come from the joints rather i,

heart into such disagreeable people?
Mary Drake, as Diana Martin, gave the
most finished performance. She was as
mature and sure of herself as she was
intended to be; and she succeeded in

making a rather shrewish woman at-j

tractive. :

Roberta Yerkes, with a pure “character
part,” succeeded extraordinarily well in
walking, talking and. being like an old
cockney. Betty Perkins made a charm-

ing Dorothy Bellairs, - especially inthe }
less emotional. scenes, and Anabelle
Learned, too, was--charming, perhaps

more of a woman of the world than her
part warranted. Caroline Reiser,’ with
