POETRY IS BEST WORK}



(Especially Contributed by
Mr. E. M. M. Warburg)
Sometime this morning I was
caught rather off my guard, for I ac-
cepted the invitation to, review the cur-
rent edition of The Lantern, and, to
make matters worse, I said I would
get my copy in at eight this evening.

“All this simply means that after hav-

ing read the contents, I, am now forc-
ed to put into irretrievable print an
opinion which is so personal as to
have but little critical value. Time
hardly allows me to follow out my in-
clination to study the whole problem
of getting out a college magazine as
thoroughly as I might, and so “un-
biased by any real knowledge of my
subject” I hereby barge in.
Undoubtedly the editors of a col-
lege.magazine are faced by a terrible

“handicap in that they are. responsible
for the carrying on of a tradition

which naturally was not of their mak-

ing. The cover of the magazine, the

choice of print and printer, the gen-
eral format reflect this all too clear-
ly. The entire make-up is. amusingly
out-of-date and unfortunately not
even consistently so. It therefore
seems a shame that, even on the sim-
ple lines demanded, and even with the
natural financial limitations — that
the magazine might not be made to
give out a more distinct personality,
both by a consistency of type of one
sort or another, and by the simplifica-
tion and ordering of the general make-

up. - For at present the reader’s first

impression on seeing the, magazine is
one of the lack of understanding in,
and a slightly shabby handling of, the
problems of presentation.
But we must not judge only on
first impressions, although a friendly
face always helps. What about the
inside or real body of this publica-
tion? It consists of an editorial, four
poems, an essay, a play, and two
short stories. But the extraordinary
part is that all these items only take
‘up some eighteen small pages, and at
that the poems never fill the whole
of a page. So that, in feeling the
size of the leaflet in one’s’ hand, and
then in looking at the numerous items
listed under the table of contents on
the cover, one becomés rather worried
as to how all of this can fit into so
small'a space. But lest you might
join me in’this worry, let. me add
right™ here,—it-does;—and,;—-what__is
more, through a printer’s error, one
line is even repeated twice. So you
see, as the whole is rather a minia-
ture magazine, so each of its parts
is also rather miniature, giving the
general effect, upon digestion, of hors
doeuvres rather than a complete
meal. But certainly length has but
little to do with quality, and so I
simply mention all this in passing.
Now as to the individual works!
First comes an editorial, which is
in the way of being an essay on the
paucity of good literature in this pres-
ent day. It is very well written, but
I could not help feeling that it smack-
ed rather of notes taken in a course

on contemporary literature

Varsity Dramatics
Enters on New Policy



Players’ Club of 30 Members
Planned by Newly Elected

Dramatic Board

MARSHALL HEADS BOARD





At a meeting of the Varsity Dra-
matics Board last Monday night the
election of the Board and officers for
the coming year was followed by the
suggestion and adoption of a new pol-
icy, that of the revival and reorgani-
zation of Varsity Players. Under the
new plan a club of a membership lim-
ited to about thirty is to be organiz-
ed under the leadership of the Board.
This group is to meet once monthly
to hear special lectures, to read some
original work, to sponsor a class in
stage make-up, which will be offered
next year, and finally to take over the
function of the old Varsity Players,
which was to sponsor the producing
of one-act plays throughout the year.
It is the hope of the Board that one
play a. month may be given through-
out the year; two, at least, of these
will be three-acts, directly under the
supervision of Varsity Dramatics, but
some of the others will be one-acts or
bills of one-acts, and these, will come
under the leadership of the Players.
It is hoped that through the Playwrit-
ing class interest in original plays
will be stimulated and that many of
the short plays will be original. An-
other-matter-of-the-greatest_ import-
ance in the formation of this new
unit is that when a three-act play is
being considered, the Players will
have the power of suggesting plays to
the Board and discusging them in open
forum. The new Players will, as we
have gaid, be a closed body, with a
definite membership. Applications for
membership may be turned in by giv-
ing one’s name to~Janet Marshall,
Pem West; Janet Barber, Merion, or
Leta Clews, Pem West. The Board
will pick the membership from these

applications and announce the mem-

bers’ names in the Commencement is-
sue of THE NEWS.

The election of the new Board is
as follows:’ :
Janet Marshall, ’33...™.... president.

‘\\Leta ‘Clews, 33. executive committee.

Janet Barber, ’33.executive committee.

Cannot Judge Nation
* by Gov't or Army



Mrs. Slade Comes From Orient

at Time of Late Unrest -
and Outbreak ‘

DISORDER IS TERRIBLE





“One cannot judge a nation by the
acts of its government or its mili-
tarists,” declared Mrs. F. Loris Slade,
Director of Bryn Mawr College and
Delegate to the Pacific Relations Con-
ference in Shanghai, speaking May
10 in the Common Room on “Reactions
to the Far Eastern Situation.”

When’ she visited Japan last Au-
gust, Mrs. Slade noticed an unrest,
an expectation of trouble, which she
had not seen on previous trips. The
question of Manchuria was much dis-
cussed, propaganda was being used
insisting that Japanese interests de-
pended on a vigorous stand in Man-
churia, and Militarists, fearing the
impending disarmament conference,
declared that a real cut would place
Japan at the mercy of Russia and
hamper her in Manchuria.

The Japanese viewpoint is that ne-
cessity. justifies expansion in Man-
churia. Although it offers no outlet
for population, the profitable rail-
roads, coal and iron reserves, and rich
markets, make it highly desirable.
Freedom of action, however, is ham-
pered by the Nine Power Pact, which
was signed in Washington in 1922,
guaranteeing the integrity of China,
and also by the agreement -embodied
in the Kellog Pact, to use peaceful
methods for settling disputes.

From Japan, Mrs. Slade went to
Mukden, where she arrived September
18, the night when the railroad tracks
were blown up and the first fighting

May Day is Reviewed by. Mr. Frank Markoe,
Experienced Director of Dramatics



Diversity of Costumes Marred Perfect Handling of Masses on
Green. and Colors Did Not. Harmonize With
Backgrounds of Foliage





reels contributed by Mr. Frank

Markoe)

After 24 hours of: gentle simmering
in, the cauldroriof memory, the refol-
lections of one who saw his first Bryn
Mawr May Day last week leave some
things sunk “inthe general richness
of the stew, but others gaily and
obstinately bubbling to the top of the
pot. And this reviewer—having had

‘}it definitely impressed upon him by

your Editors that what THE News
wants is not that natural gasp of
admiration that the sight of so much
youth at play, and at’ such pretty
play, must of necessity give to the

| senile and satiate, but rather a seri-

ous and detailed criticism—takes his
fate and typewriter up and skims the
cream of the aforesaid bouillabaisse.
For what but a mixed metaphor can
serve a mixed impression?

First, first, and then again fir st
was the superb precision and art with
which the very intricate evolutions of
the pageant on the Green were ac-
complished. I have never seen at any
similar show here or’ in England, even
in its pre-war pageant-mad days, any
more capable handling of mass move-
ment. But what a-pity that so mas-
terly' a unity of movement should
have been blurred by such a diversity
of costume intentions. I looked up
from the Green to the grandstand
and saw a far greater harmony of
color there, due probably to the. fact
that the leading textile manufacturers
only release so many shades each
season.

At the entrance of the procession

heralds ‘had led to high hopes. The
court of Elizabeth was obviously from
the costumers, from renting-by-per-
formance costumes intended to be seen
by artificial light and looking in the
spring sun quite. desperately dreary.
Also, they were nearer her papa’s
styles than Her Virgin “Majesty’s.
But the graciousness and dignity of
her bows certainly cast a glamour
over the scene,-and one forgot the
“ungartered hose’ of her courtiers.

Then came. the white oxen and the
very clever color scheme of the May-
pole. The white oxen and the warm,
pale flower-swags. Lovely. Then,
alas! hard, unblending small groups
with no interrelation of tone value,
though sometimes amusing in them.
selves, and then, again, the finely con-
ceived black horse-drawn cart, poppy
and cornflower gyved, filled with the
sophisticated, beautifully attuned
blues, buffs and old rose of the reap-
ers from The Old Wives’ Tale. Then
more discords. A tonality in color,
as in music, can only be achieved by
those who have mastered the mys-
teries of key and accord. And the
young spring green is an exacting
background.

And so down the hill and to the
plays.

Robin Hood, which I found the
most interesting, was notable for its
excellent groupings and the clear,
strong voice of its chie€ protagonist.
And for the ease with which it went
off. That same ease was perhaps the
outstanding feature jn all the plays.
Everyone knew not only their lines
but their business so well that there
was no trace of that strained effort
so often found in the best amateur
The scene-suiffered from
having the artificial background and
the costumes of the merry men lower
in tone than the surrounding leafage,
thus acquiring an,undue_sombreness,
the one exception being the minstrels’
clear green and flame.

The Old Wives Tale I had. never
seen: done before, and I found it well
worth the doing and well done. It
again suffered from the dark _ leaf-
screen against a brilliant distance.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream;~in
the Brook Hollow, also fared well as
to setting. The tiny Puck was en-
chanting, if somewhat serious, and
the tableau of the small fairy with
the enormous spear something never
to be forgotten. “I wish there could

The St. George Masque went: with
fine spirit. Having lived in Oxford-
shire and had the ldcal Waits play it
in my front hall, I found, in an ab-
breviated form, the real spirit in its
performance. The dragon henceforth
is enshrined among the most amiable
and alluring of my supernatural ani-
mal acquaintances. But I missed the
quaint, traditional ribbon capes of
the champions.

When I tell the tumblers that after
watching their performance the lady
next to me remarked to her com-
panion that it seemed a pity to mix
professionals with the college girls,
they will feel, I hope, that they have
not labored in vain. And the morris
dancers, too, deserve all praise.

brilliance of the gypsies, and perfect
success of the shepherds were all
highly admirable, Primavera and her
Boreal and Gallic companions danced
finely, with a.clear-cut, easy tech-

congratulate Miss Barber, Miss Coop-

are responsible, without stint.

I can see it still: The sun on the
young leaves and faces; the-rhythmic
perfection of_ the -pageant on the
Green—this, one cannot over-enthuse
upon; the clearness of the players’
voices; the delighted audience; the
life-saving orange juice stand; the

It is one of the bitter lessons that those who work at any organiza-
tion or movement in a community such as the college community must

—learn-that-the-more effort-they-put-behind-their-project-and the greater

success crowns that effort, the.more unreasonable, unkind, and uncon-
structive will be the criticism leveled at their work by those of their
contemporaries who take part in no constructive movement and put
their shoulders behind no wheel. To turn this criticism to any real
benefit either to that which is attacked or those who-are responsible
for its success or failure is impossible as the critics, while they feel
very strongly —often even to the point of hissing—their’ dislike of the
publication, organization, or performance, when questioned specifically
can only answer vaguely that it isn’t the way they think such a thing
should.be, or that it is departing from tradition (which usually means
that happy state of dusty failure in which a project may hide success-
fully fromthe stings and arrows that beset it at the first sign of life it
may exhibit), Often the answer of the critics is simply that they
disliké the personalities behind the thing—which perhaps is the truth
more often than it is admitted.

"ois started_by saying that this is a bitter lesson, and we might
have to have added that it was the universal lesson of all initiators or
organizers. One has no reason to complain when one undergoes that
which every organization must undergo if it is alive and active. One
should rather weleome such criticism as a‘sign of life and, in some
measure, of success; for we have never observed that moribund and
enfeebled movements were so attacked. But we do deplore the fact
that criticism on the campus is becoming something it- has never been—
which is, criticism by halls or by classes. It has in the past been one
of the prides of Bryn Mawr that such childish ‘phenomena as class
and hall animosities did not exist in our undergraduate body. All of
us are critics s unduly personal and severe
crities at times; this is only natural in a thinking community such
as we would like to believe we are. But when criticism goes into the
hands of a group of malcontents who have nothing to show for their
own efforts and who attack the efforts of others with no desire to assist,
but only to destroy, and who above all make their criticism a personal
affair of class and hall divisions, we feel that criticism in college has





~. reached its all-time low.

Ave Atque Vale

As we cast a somewhat entesbied glance over our shoulder at May
Day we all experience unconcealed relief that it is over, but our relief
is not unmixed with pride. That May Day was a success seems.to_be
the unanimous opinion of everyone who witnessed it, and another palm
has been added to Bryn Mawr’s Croix de May-day. May Day as it
‘developed on Friday and Saturday was not the work of individuals,
but af the college as a whole. To the efforts of the talented indi-
viduals who inspired and guided the preparations tribute has already
been paid. The praise for the finish and beauty of the actual perform-
ance belongs equally to everyone, from the men who sodded the Green
to Queen Elizabeth herself. The co-operation for which the directors
pleaded was given at the crucial point and our effort was repaid many
times over. Even the weather made its contribution to the occasion,
and we hereby tender our appreciation. Our final vote of thanks goes
to the faculty who have made a generous contribution to May Day
through their considerate concessions as to work. We appreciate the
prompt response to our plaintive plea for mercy. The martyred feel-
ing which we were all nursing a few weeks before May Day disap-
peared at once and everyone's enthusiasm rose considerably. The

faculty have ‘contributed generously to the success of May Day, and;

the student body is duly appreciative and hereby wish to register its
manifold thanks. !

Now, fellow-titizens and . folk dancers, this is s the last time this
publication will ever bring up- the subject of our recent triumph. We

are all feeling a little: weak over it all, but we can still squeak out Ave

News of the New York Theatres

Merry-Go-Round, a melodrama deal-
ing with what everyone recognizes
as Tamany political corruption, was
not allowed to. open in New York, os-
tensibly because the application for
renewal of the theatre license was
filed too late. The great Jimmy Walk-
er, when asked if he had had anything
to do with the sudden efficiency of the
license bureau, denied vehemently that
any political pressure had been used
to stop the license, and ended by say-
ing that he had heard that it was a
rotten show anyway. The producers
came right back and said they weren’t
interested in the reported dramatic
criticism by the Mayor’s: friends. The
whole business is pretty obvious, since
dozensrof other theatres are running
without licenses, but—they aren’t
making nasty cracks about friend
Jimmy and all his little pals. Mean-
whije, many protestations of good
will—but no business.

Brock Pemberton is about to pro-
duce a farce, Christopher Comes
Across,.by Hawthorne Hurst. We
wonder idly how they are going to get
the Santa Maria on the stage, but
then we may be on the wrong track
and the theme might not be explora-
tion but exploitation. Got it? |

Herbert Polesie, in an ill-informed
moment, wrote a play about radio do-
ings and called it Coast-to-Coast. The
error became apparent when the
drama proved itself upperly unable to
get beyond Bridgeport, so they chang-
ed its name to Heigh-ho, Everybody,
in the hope that the feminine popu-
lation would think that Rudy Vallee
was in it. No one did—it’s still in
Bridgeport.

Thornton Wilder, author of The
Bridge of San Luis Rey, The Woman
of Andros and Cabala, is making his
first appearance-as a dramatist with
an adaptation of The Bride‘ of Toroz-
ho,.a comedy by Otto Ludig. The
Wilder play will be called Klari, and
will ‘be produced next season by Gil-
bert Miller.

Dennis King has recently been add-
ed to the cast of the somewhat reviv-
ed Show Boat. Also present will be
Helen Morgan, Norma Terris, Charles
Winniger, Paul Robeson, Edna May
Oliver and Aunt Jemima. It ‘is to
open May 16, barring accidents to the
actors, such as a fall from a high
place (which, ‘according to Bradley,
would produce a tragedy). Our com-
ment: “Yea, verily.”

There is a healthy row on in New
York as to whether or not the licenses
for the burlesque houses shall be re-
newed. Great objections are being
raised to the renewals by ‘all the lead-
ing citizens on the grounds that the
burlesque is ruining the reputation of
the neighborhood. The burlesque peo-
ple called in defense witnesses, and
among them came a_ninety-three-
year-old ex-chorus girl, who testified:
1. That she went to church every
day and was the best woman in Amer-
ica; 2. That she had “seen worse
wiggling in high-priced . theatres.”
It’s a good thing May Day doesn’t
needa licensé—they’d close the Clois-
ters.

Siegfried Rumann, the hard-fisted
business magnet of Grand Hotel, has
been given the lead opposite Ethel
Barrymore in her next season’s at-
tempt, Encore.

1928. I feel that it would be hard to
improve on any part of it. Mrs. Col-
lins and Mr. King handled their re-
spective tasks in their usual efficient
manner. .

For my own part, I want to ex-
press my deep appreciation to Mr.
Willoughby, Miss Grant, Miss Brady,
and Miss Petts for the splendid pre
paratory work, without which the suc-
cessful celebration of the Pageant
would not ‘have been possible. Only
those who have lived and worked
through several May Days can ap-
preciate how much time and effort
must be expended behind the scenes.
To this must be added the untiring
‘effort of the student body in devoting
their time and patience to the path as-
signed to them.

The writer desires to thank every-
one for her co-operation, which was
freely given, in accordance with the
best traditions of the college. —

The title suggests anything from a
well-mannered horse to a wary male.
Movies “

Chestnut Street: Greta Garbo,
Joan Crawford, Lionel Barrymore and
Wallace Beery continue to pack the
lobbies in Grand Hotel. An excellent
picture, and so full of stars that it’s
fascinating—you wonder who will
come around the corner next.

Fox: Victor MéLaglen in While
Paris Sleeps. We didn’t know it did,
but it seems parts of it do, and when
they do, shocking things happen—
mystery, deep and sinister. Also on
the stage the vaudeville goes on and
on.

Europa: Double feature: Wild Men
of Kalihari.and Ten Days-That Shook
the World. A gentle combination of
savages and the Russian Revolution
—the later makes the savages look
very weak. :

Mastbaum: Edward G. Robinson
in Two Seconds. A’romantic movie in
which a woman completely ruins a
man’s life in-two seconds. If all that
happens in two seconds, think of the
other hour. Rather good.

Stanton: Charles. Bickford .and
Rose Hobart in Scandal For Sale, a
very unpleasant movie dbout a man
who lived on scandal, blackmail and .
murder (gentle diet!) until he got.
tangled up in it himself.

Earle: George Bancroft and Mir-
iam Hopkins in The World and the
Flesh. Evidently what it sounds like
and not very well done either.

Stanley: The Mouthpiece, with
Warren William. The tale of a crook-
ed lawyer who was a success in keep-
ing thugs out of jait until pleasure
interfered with business. Sidney Fox
as pleasure is excellent. A good
movie.

Karlton: Ruth Chatterton in The
Rich Are Always With Us. A clev-
er and amusing satire on the New
York rich, their divorces, speakeasies

and horses. Not overdone and very
good fun.
Keith’s: Again the newspaper

drama rears its ugly head in Final
Edition, with Pat. O’Brien and Mae
Clark. .A friend of the editor and
the girl reporter who gets the news—
and the editor. Not so good.

Miss Park Voices. Her
Approval of May Day



Says it is Best in 4 Years and
Reads Letter From
Mrs. Skinner

GREEN GAINS IN COLOR





No official financial report of the
proceeds of May Day is possible fr
publication as. yet according to Miss

Park in chapel Tuesday morning, but
there are hopes that after many bills
and a few more receipts have come in
that there. will still be a small sur-
plus over the expenditures of May
Day, even taking into account the
tickets as compared to other years.

Miss Park claims that this was the
most beautiful of the four May Days
that she has seen for many reasons.
Although the weather caused those in
authority many nerve shattering mo-
ments it was perfectly clear and at
just the right temperature by the time
the pageant started. The music form-
ed a “Background as lovely as the
blue distance and the flowering apple
trees” for Miss Pairk. Thanks to Mr.
Willoughby, the music, in the plays
was more suitable andbetter execut-
ed than ever before. The Green gain-
ed with the increase in color of the
costuming and the only two criticisms
that Miss Park overheard, one was
that there was too much red on the
green and the other was that there
were too many pastel shades. His-
torically the crowd should be dully
dressed, but this is one case where it
is well to consider the aesthetic rath-
er than to obey the historical implic-
itly.

The play costumes were delightful
and Miss Park is especially proud of



those of The Masque of the Flowers,

designed by an undergraduate. Miss
Skinner as Queen Elizabeth was
graceful and majestic, and “I: am
sure that we all gazed aghast at the

court.” The work on the green was
more exact than of previous years
and the special dancers were 80 well
trained that they in some way meas-

ured up to the standards of Mrs. Bas-

sett’s,own superior folk dancing. Miss
y made a success of the tum-
bling, Miss Park thinks, not only be-

cause she maintained a sense of equi-7

librium, but with it a sense of humor.
The measure of goodness:of May Day,
however, is in the measure of trans-
ferrence of each’ gifl from the har-
rassed college’ student to the Eliza-
bethan reveller.. This transfer was
more universal this year than ever be-
fore and added the necessary spon-
taneity to the mechanised events.
We are grateful to innumerable
people for the success of this. May
Day: Mr. King, Miss Petts, Mr. Do-
harty, the Alumnae, and the Under-
graduates, but most of all it will be
remembered as Mrs. Collins’ May Day
for her knowledge, ingenuity, patience
—and even impatience, tact,-good hu-
mor and courage!~ Miss Park then
read part of Mrs. Skinner’s letter to
Mrs. Collins:
“On Friday it was all so dazzlingly
lovely that I gave myself up to the
beauty of it all; but on Saturday I
‘watched the wheels go round’ —
noting the way in which you had. put
it all together. How everyting was
timed; everything so apparently spon-
taneous, yet so completely co-ordi-
nated. -All eyes on the leaders; all
ears attuned to the music. For ex-
ample, after the last of the pageant
had passed: the grandstand, at once
on the cue came that valiant queen’s
champion through the path through



the maples. Then the proud march
of the heralds and their stand on the

right of the throne!

“T could go on’forever with my joy
over the infinite detail of the deport-
ment on the Green. You just must
never say that you learned it all from
me. I felt humble. I know how
much I owed to Mrs. Andrews and
to Elizabeth, Daly, put. for the -revels
on the Green I am ever deeply’ grate-
ful to Miss Applebee. You have taken
all that went before and added your
own, until now we can all: acknowl-

‘edge that the ideal May Day has

been achieved.

“Of the plays I saw not half enough.
Partly because I was a little lame to
walk the distances; partly because,
with theeting so many old friends
along the way, I could not get to the
scenes in time. But I saw enough
to feel that the acting was of.a gen-
erally higher order than formerly.
All.students have-a better sense~of
acting: today, and, now that the cos-
tumes ‘are more accurate, more befit-
ting the characters, we get a more
complete enjoyment than we did in
the old days. St. George and The
Dragon was the only play I saw from
start to finish, and (with all defer-
eneé to-.the other five May Days I
have seen) it was the only time when
I have found in it a genuinely hu-
morous quality. The dainty queen,
with her flying silver veil, was a pic-
ture of lasting, memory.

“The Masque of Flowers was never
so pictorially costumed. I loved those
colorful Indians, and Kawasha might
have been drawn by Gringling Gib-
bons for a court performance. Since
Gallus designed the costumes
not forgetting. that glorious bunch of
grapes), I hope he \will not mind my
saying I personally should have liked
the Messenger of the Sun.to have
wings over his arms\ and taut wind-

(and :



ings about his legs to hold in place
two sharp, golden spurs, but her legs
and arms are: so lovely and she was
altogether so lovely to behold that
I am. glad she did not burden herself

with ‘wings and spurs. Primevera

scattering petals along the. pathway
of the pageant was a lovely touch.

“The play of Robyn Hoode, I felt,
held to the tradition of being the best
all-round acted play of the May Day,
and Robyn himself was as handsome
and clear-cut in his speech as Lois
Kellogg of 1920. -I can sing no higher
praise! :

“T am too sorry’I could not limp
over the hill to see A Midsummer
Night’s Dream. ‘Queen Elizabeth’
adds to my regret by telling me she
found it enchanting, and she also tells
me I missed much in not-seeing all
of The, Old Wives’ Tale, and she
thought the Sacrapant truly a far
better performance than thé one of
1920. That was not being polite. She
meant it! I.saw only a little of that
play from the top of the hill, where
I was not in a good place to hear or
see; but I did think the harvesters
were never so picturesque.

““As You Like It I also saw at dis-
advantage, but near enough to enjoy
both the acting and the infinite detail
of perfection that had been aimed
for. Mr. Norman Hapgood enjoyed
that especially and thought (being
a lover of Shakespeare) that another
year it might be well to add to the
May Day a scene from The Tempest.

the words of a distinguished profes-
_ sor—‘Passion and an inner life.” Few
of us realize, I think, just how far
some really first-rate passion will get

a girl. And then there are memo-
ries—

and contacts—for who has not had
her contacts.

Then take Little May Day, take
Herben’s beard, take Big May Day!
You take it, it’s your May Day, and
all of us, working together—co-opera-
tion, co-ordination, extermination.
Why, friends, with experiences like
ours we could conquer the world; that
is, if we wanted to.

There will now be a pause for sta-
tion announcements. While we are
waiting for the orchestra to tune up,
the European Fellow will tell us “The

Seventeen Methods of Relaxing, or
How I Passed Art in Asia.” Give the
little girl the well-known hand!

And now Life is calling and I must
leave you. But before I go, there is
one thing or two which I would like
to impress upon your minds. A Bryn
Mawr diploma is the equivalent of a
Phi Beta Kappa in backward coun-
tries, so. never give up hope. Hope’s
the stuff dreams are made of—never-
go to the Three Threes without ‘spe-
ciaNpermission from the Dean’s Of-
fice, never have a date with a strange
man, never gét your feet wet, and al-
ways be cheerful!

And just. on more word, friends,
what this college really needs is a
good five-cent window! I thank you!

Said Through a Window in Dalton

I find that I am not yet in a posi-
tion to say good-bye to Dalton,—in
fact, my time here seems to be only
beginning. I have begun working here
day and night; Miss Blake is with me;
we have our own kitchens and infirm-
ary set up here and we will have our



Children and— Grownups

All need

Scientists and medical authorities are ea that

own May Day when I get this experi-
ment done. I am one of those indi-
viduals who can weigh the same pail
of water three times in succession and
have it weigh something entirely dif-
ferent each time, and so I think I am
fairly on the way to substantiating
the famous new Principle of Uncer-
tainty.

At the beginning of the year I was
not‘so much at home jn the laboratory,
and wouldn’t always come in. I would
pretend I was Cardline Manning come
over to play with Molly, and I would
not do any experiments. I pretended
I was someone waiting to see Dr.
Drydén; I would burst into tears and
say it was very important. I hid in
the galvanometer cabinet; and was
accidentally dragged out to be the re-
sistance box in an electrical circuit;
the resistance, everyone said, was sim-
ply enormous. And happy. was. the
day when I discovered that Dalton
had a back door.

In this connection I should like to
pay a tribute to the sportsmanship of
the physics department. It was al-
ways a fair race to that door and I
always felt as if I had earned: my vic-
tory when I reached it.

But now everything. is changed;
when I am not here-I- am, in what has
become practically a laboratory-of-my-
own over in Rockéfeller. I have car-
ried instruments over there from here
bit by bit,—parts of a sextant, an
earth inductor compass and so on,—
and reassembled them. I always have
the feeling.that I can work out every-
thing better later on by myself. Also
there are always two or three assist-
ants there working over problems, and
now that. May*Day is over I can have

Lantern Should be
Less Safe and Sound

(Continued from Pdge One)



than a heart-felt cry of personal grief
at the state ‘of the present literary
world. This kind of editorial always
awakes ‘in me the feeling that the
. writer has acquired a point of view

- rather than having developed one of

her own through observation, for cer-
tainly the last paragraph sets a rath-
er arbitrary standard of what con-
temporary literature should be and
thereby tries to weave to some pur-
pose the facts correctly and nicely
stated in the body of the editorial. I
for one will never be convinced that
in this day of Hitler, Mussolini, Mac-
Donald, Einstein, Capone and Picas-
so, as well as hundreds of others, that
“the qualities of the men and women
of the present day are not easily em-
bodied in action.” We are constant-
ly “avenging our friends by killing
their enemies, swearing feality to a
lord, or searching for a Holy Grail,”
and while literature may find diffi-
culty in approaching the actual sub-
stance of our life, certainly one can-
not put the blame on the material at
the ‘authors’ disposal. :

I now skip arbitrarily to the essay
"“On Enemieés.”... For one page the
author of this, essay argues rather
prettily that’ making friends is eas-
ier than making and keeping enemies.
It is all very nice and—one might
almost say—sweet, and:recalls to us
all our own efforts at writing essays
on “How To Fly A Kite,” “How Moth-
er Decorated Our House,” etc., efc.,
but in this case, it has, as teacher
taught, a beginning, a middle, and
an end, and perhaps one amusingly
turned idea. The Lantern will not
have to worry much about the copy-
right laws as they pertain to this
work, for it is so unassuming by its
very nature that one feels embarras-
sed to have to considey, it éritically.

The play, “My Stars!” is more the
type of thing that one hopes, and per-
haps expects, from The Lantern. It
has .a spirit which is not inconsist-
ent with undergraduate life, and,
from the literary standpoint, is neith-
er too humble nor too over-ambitious.
Believe it. or not, the one weakness
here lies in the over-lengthy intro-
-ductory. conversation between. the
characters Simon (“Simp” to his
friends) and Jake, and perhaps_ it
reaches its greatest heights in the
stage directions. Anyhow it has a
certain vitality and sincerity that
yotr reviewer welcomed at this point.

“The Cherry Tree” and “The Phil-
anthropist” are again a reversion to
what on the whole one might call “the
safe and sound” school, and, while
pleasant enough, hardly bring to: the

. world’s literature either a new, or an

especially vital-point of view. I can’t
help feeling that literature and life
are pretty closely connected, and that
in literature, life must-express itself.
On reading these stories, however,
one wonders whether the authors have
not recorded their visions of litera-
ture in life, rather than infusing the
means, literature, with the-end, life.
_Strangely enough, the poetry rises

to heights that as yet we had no
right to expect. ‘Lines to a Ghost”
is a sonnet which might well be pub-
lished anywhere. It has that unmis-
takable but undefinable quality of ma-
turity which almost seems out of

place in a college magazine. Perhaps,

also, it alone, among the poems, seems
free of the difficulty of the verse

choice and fittingness of words. In
the poem, “Inherent Attitude,” we
find so many lovely passages that we
would tend to heap similar praise on
it. But, somehow, certain words, cer-
tain lines, fail to. uphold;the high ten-
sion which we find in the numerous
good parts, and therefore tend to
place it among the student works of
one who may well arrive. The other
two poems, “Comprehension” and “To
An Evening Star,” are certainly most
worthy, but unforunately cannot
stand the company they have been put
in. By this I in no way mean that
they are not due certain considera-
tion, for in their way they each show
surprising ease in the command of
the medium. I for one gained enjoy-
ment from them.

Here then you have my humble
opinion of the April edition of The
Lantern. _On. the whole, it is to me
unnecessarily safe and sound. It
seems to be typical of only Bryn
Mawr en masse in this respect, and
not of the cleverness and individual-
ity of a few people—and not so very
few at that—who number themselves
among the undergraduate group. The
courage to be wrong is lacking and
therefore ‘the possibility of originality
almost disappears. To be traditional
is only right during the-period in
which one is studying, but a publica-
tion such as The Lantern ought to
contain many more attempts in which
unprotected and unfearing individ-
uals try their newly acquired wings.
Then this magazine would become a
real training school, rather than a
place in which some students show
their ability in brain exercises.

Keep a Regular

TELEPHONE
Date with Home



- UPPOSE you “dropped in” on
b ® Mother and Dad tonight ...
just -walked right in with a
hearty ‘Hello, folks!”” Wouldn’t they be sur-
. prised-and thrilled? Wouldn’t-it be fun?

Then get to a telephone this evening and give
your home number to the Operator. (It will
be “Hello, folks,” in a few seconds.) Tell them
the latest campus news ... find out what the
family is doing. Next to being there in person,
a “voi¢e visit” with home is best.

Try it once. .. if you’ve never tried it before. »
You'll soon have the habit of calling home
each week for a regular Telephone: Date.

“

FOR THE LOWEST COST
AND GREATEST EASE

Set your “date” for after 8.30 P. M., and take. ‘ad-
vantage of the low Night Rates. (A dollar call is
{ 60c at night; a 50c call is 35c.)

By making a date the folks will be at home. Thus
you can make a Station to Station call rather than
a more expensive Person to Person call.

Just give the operator your home telephone nume
ber. If you like, charges can be reversed.

Speech in Front of the Library

When I was asked to speak at the
Lib I was at first rather startled.
“The Lib,” I asked, “‘what’s the Lib?”
After a careful explanation, repeat-
ed several times (articulation and vi-
bration approved by S.A. K.), I final-
ly realized what was. meant by that.
mysterious term. You see, I always
recognized the Lib by the bushes at
the corner of Pem West—those prick-
_ ly bushes where scattered papers and
exam books blown from nearby win-
dows, frequently nestled damply, un-
til removed by some kind-hearted pro-
fessor ,passing that way—that same
professor ‘who believed in keeping the
landscape clean, until beards became
the fashion. But then those bushes
disappeared—suddenly — overnight,
and in their place came, in quick suc-
cession, daffodils, cherry trees, etc.,
until there was left no trace of any
familiar _landmark.—_-Naturally,—I
thought the Lib had burned over-
night ‘and that I had just slept
through the alarm. You can imagine
my surprise, then, to be told that it
still stands, safe and whole, only now
hidden behind a cherry tree instead of
a clump of bushes.

I believe my unsym athetic feeling
toward the Lib started the first time
I entered it, at the very beginning of
Freshman year. I heard it was cus-
tomary to “talk to the picture”—what
picture I did not know, but having a
true pioneer spirit, I took a chance
and accosted: the first one I came to
in the Reading Room. Sure enough,
it answered right back, very distinct-
ly, and wrinkling up its nose, but all
I could get it to say was, “You
brought me mutton, boy; I asked for
beef.” So do you wonder that my
feelings were hurt, and that my first
impression of the Lib was not a fav-
orable one?

Having heard of the marvelous
acoustics of the Reaging Room, and
knowing, myself, of their sad state
in Goodhart Auditorium, I saw no
reason why we shouldn’t make an ex-
change and have everyone happy—
study in Goodhart and have concerts

“in the Lib.. Of course, we wanted to
have Mr. Alwyne’s approval, and I am
glad to say I can read you this cable-
gram from him—“MOTHER AND I

Her first impression in China were
the terrible effects of the Manchurian
disorder. Hordes of Chinese refu-
gees crowded the train, hoping only te
escape with their lives. At Shang-
hai, the boycott had already started.
The Chinese Foreign Minister had
been seriously injyred by students
impatient with the government’s in-
action, and there was serious discus-
sion as to whether the Institute of
Pacific Relations should hold its meet-
ing in view of*the tension between
China and Japan. When the confer-
ence finally assembled, the Japanese
took a great risk in attending and
the Chinese showed equal courage in
welcoming them,

After the meeting had adjourned,
the situation became even\more inter-
esting. The Japanese attacked Shang-
hai partly, Mrs. Slade thinks, because
the boycott was working too effective-





ly, and partly because the navy want-|
ed an opportunity for glory. Intelli-
gent Japanese now admit that the
Move was a blunder.

The League ef Nations finally took
action and sent a commission to study
the affair at first hand. In compel-
ling Japan to fight without admitting
she is at war, and so robbing the con-
flict of some of its glamor, the League
has helped the situation. considerably.

Recently, Japan has set up a new
Manchurian state, nominally inde-
pendent, but really administered by
Japanese advisers. On the other
hand, she has signed an-agreement to
evacuate Shanghai. The two most
significant question now at hand are
whether Nanking will adhere to its
new policy of: demanding no alleg-
iance from outlying districts, and
whether Russia will tolerate a new



Manchurian state under Japanese
influence.
