Chamberlain Is Ridiculed.
In the matter bof foreign affairs, the
doctrines are. very rigid. Each man is
taught to realize that the state is his and
that anything the state does is done by
him personally. In order to instill this idea
into the mind of the mass, large: public |
festivities are held. The*workers: are given}
a holiday. They all go out into the streets

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, |:

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

Roberta Yerkes, with a pure “character
