WARBURG IS A FOUNDER



On Thursday and Friday, February
7 and 8, Bryn Mawr is to have the
great privilege of witnessing the sec-
ond performance of the newly organ-
ized American Ballet. The Ballet,
which was founded in January, 1934,
is giving these two performances here
before its New York debut, and is be-
ing brought here through the agency

Million Dollar Drive.

The School of American Ballet is the
first. of its kind to be organized in
this country. It is making a very dis-
tinguished contribution to American
creative, art and its progress is béing

ward Warburg and Lincoln Kerstein,
graduates of Harvard, ’30, but it was
not until a year ago that the Ballet
was organized with the aid of George
Ballanchine and Vladimir Dimitriew.

The American Ballet had its pre-
miere at’ the Avery Memorial Theatre
in Hartford, Connecticut, on Decem-
ber 7 aiid 8. It was enthusiastically
received by critics as an epoch making
event. The repertoire included Mo-
zartiana, with music by Mozart and}
costumes by Charles Berard; Alma
Mater, with book by E. M. M. War-
burg, music by Kay Smith, and set. by

Dear Madame:

The idea of the American)
‘ School of Ballet originated with Ed-

Decision on May Day,
Comprehensives Made



The, Faculty has decided that the
system of Comprehensives will not be
inaugurated next year (1936) regard-
less of whether Big May Day is held
or not. The Faculty also requested
with regard to Big May Day, that if
it is to be held, the students should
work out the year’s schedule of hours
so that no, actual hours of class or
laboratory work will be cut by the ar-
rangement of rehearsals.

The official statement of the Fac-
ulty is as follows, that if the students
vote to give Big May Day, they will
be asked to submit before March 1 a
plan by which preparation for ‘May
Day be modified so that it does not
necessitate loss of hours of lectures or
laboratory.



New Formulae Tried

Miss King Finds Modern Spirit,
Writing For Its Own Sake
In Quarterly



PRAISED



(Especially contributed by Professor
Georgiana Goddard King)

Last year, in a review of the open-
ing number of the Lantern it was—
in a way -— suggested that no one

should write for it except such as

could not possibly be prevented from
writing. The recommendation seems
to have been apprehended and—more
or less—this year, tried.

In the December number, certainly.
Of course, the trail of the formula is
over it all—if one looks—but they are
the new formulae, and that betrays
the spontaneity. To use the new for-
mula, is to be modern, to accede to
the irresistible.

Take the surprises: in Les Cloches,
the breakfast table is a supper ta-
ble, the mother is unmotherly, the
close is on a note of pain; in Viola
the hairdressing, the touch of pity,
the appearance of the Blessed Virgin
Mary,—all unexpected! The metre of
Artemis is a revival like a costume
play, but suited to the theme, and the
caesural pauses enter with real and
unexpected delicacy; in They Would
Sing, the elisions and inversions play
a large part in communicating the in-
tention but a greater part the heavy
and obstructive though never unpoetic
diction. It is of today. The essay on
John Donne and T. S. Eliot is a close

STRESS SCIENCE HALL

A Million Dollar gift to celebrate
the Fiftieth Anniversary of Bryn
Mawr College!

That was the vote of the Alumnae
Association at its annual meeting
last June, And now that the anni-
versary is less than a year away,
plans are being laid to turn this
high hope into a reality.

Two questions are before us:
Where can we find so vast a sum in
these days; and what will be done
with it when it is found?

Because of the spiendid organiza-
tion. of the Alumnae Association
throughout the country, the ground-
work is already laid, and district
quotas have been assigned and ac-
cepted.

The National Committee will have
various plans and _ suggestions to
offer from: time to time,’ and will
always be ready to co-operate with
all the districts; but every district
will make its own plans and reach
its goal in its own way. aie

After all, one million doers di-
vided between the years of Bryn

awr’s — means twenty
thousand dollars for each year. One
million dollars divided among Bryn
Mawr’s five thousand alumnae is
two hundred dollars per capita.

Bryn Mawr’s immediate need is
a new Science Building. To any-
one who has been through Dalton in



these last. years, no—words-are~need-.

ed to explain that it is... oujgrown, |
inadequate, and unequal to the re-

quirements of thé first-rate scientific
work which from the beginning of
the College has been outstanding.
President Park has outlined for
us the new and vivid approach to
science which Bryn Mawr can inau-
gurate; and this makes more than
ever immediate the need for: an ade-
quate and modern science building.
The outright purchase of Wynd-

ham has waited for this anniversary |

To Caroline McCormick Slade in
October, 1934, the Executive Board
of the Alumnae Association sent its
President, Elizabeth Bent Clark, to
beg her to assume the leadership of
the Fiftieth Anniversary Fund Cam-
paign. That Mrs. Slade was per-
suaded to accept was due we
think to the argument that if she
refused after her two successes in
1920 and 1925 it would be because
she felt it was impossible to raise
a million dollars now. Be this the
reason or not the faet remains that she

(Especially contributed by Laura
Richardson, ’30)

On Wednesday evening, January 9,
Benjamin De Loache gave a recital in
Goodhart Hall to a small but enthuysi-
astic audience. Mr. De Loache, who
won the Atwater Kent radio award
several. years ago and subsequently
held a scholarship at the Curtis Insti-
tute, has-been heard a number of times
with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He
has a baritone voice of fine quality
which is especially well suited to bril-
liant and dramatic music, but his in-

good stead in the more subdued type of
song and compensate to a large de-
gree for the loss of roundness and
richness of tone quality. Maurice Ja-
quet, pianist, provided sympathetic ac-
companiments throughout the evening.

The program opened with the Han-
del aria, “Revenge, Timotheus Cries.”
‘Mr. De Loache sang with dramatic
fervour, but sacrificed none of the
smoothness ‘so difficult to achieve’ in
long /melismatic phrases. The second
song, “Nina,” of Pergolese, was con-
trastingly subdued and lyrical.
Mr. De Loache seemed strained and
inclinedto sing sharp. This was un-
doubtedly due to nervousness. The
seattered audience, which was swal-
lowed up in the size of the auditorium,
gradually moved into a more compact
body in the front section and the rap-
port between singer and audience be-
came noticeably more sympathetic.

The aria “Non piu Andrai” from
The “Marriage of Figaro,” by Mozart,
concluding the first group of songs,
was sung with clarity of diction and
verve.

The second. group of songs was de-
voted to songs of Schubert and Rich-
ard Strauss. Of the three Schubert
songs, “Der Sturmische Morgen,”
from the Winterreise Cyclé seemed to
suit Mr. De Loache’s voice the best.
His tone was brisk and incisive with-
out being strident, whereas in “Der
Neugierige” and ‘“Wanderer’s Nacht-
lied” there was .some huskiness in

One Million Dollars

The Alumnae of Bryn Mawr College are going to raise a million
dollars. The idea may not strike us very forcibly at first, because we
have not got a million dollars stowed away in the toes of our stockings,
nor have we even much notion of how much a million dollars may mean::
It is obvious, however, that we cannot say to the alumnae, on their pro-

--posal to give Bryn Mawr a million dollars, “Interesting, if true” and,

on second thought, “How nice.” With the Alumnae Drive now under

. Weigh we. are saying, with no attempts to color over our jargon, that
we think it is a wonderful idea. We know what Wyndham already
means to us, we know how much a new science building is: needed and
how well our needs will be accommodated if the proposed plans for a
new science building go through, and we know how we shall be bene-
fited by the enlargement of the library with a new wing. -

We also shall soon know how valuable a Bryn Mawr A. B. is to us
and how much of Bryn Mawr’s reputation, as the reputation wf any
college, is dependent upon the actual material facilities which a college
must have to give undergraduates opportunities for research and ex-
periment in any-field. Bryn Mawr’s reputation is as good as it is now
because we have had the Library and Dalton in the past; with modern
achievements in scienee that demand new equipment, with the increas-
ing undergraduate interest in- majoring in science, and with tli¢e greater
congestion in the Library, we now need a new science building and
more room in the Library to maintain the high reputation for scholar-
ship that Bryn Mawr now holds. an

As undergraduates we cannot, nor are we being asked fo, con-
tribute a million dollars ourselves. But right now a heavy charge is
being laid upon us, none the less: we, as undergraduates, are the imme-
diate recipients of the million dollars and it is up to us to show our-
selves worthy of the generosity and interest of the donors. Modesty
may be a virtue, but there is no good reason why we should hide our
light under a bushel. We can do more than we think by proclaiming
our interest and our achievements loudly and widely. Interest /is con-
tagious, and the more interest we display, the more interest / we can
expect other people to take in our work.

Furthermore, no matter how impoverished we may feel as under-
graduates, we can always cooperate avith the Alumnae in their plans.
We can support wholeheartedly their various schemes to raise money
by benefit programs and sales, and we can, cireulate publicity coneern-

_ ing these.

The Alumnae will raise a million dollars if they have our interest
and cooperation !



By Request of the Majority

Tt seems to us that nearly every year we have raised a plaint at
just about this time to the effect that we need—we really need—a read-
It also seems to us that every year, with the inexorable
advent of Midyears and Finals, just as inexorably no one ever gets up
and asks us whether we think a reading period would be a Good Phing.
We await with tremulous anticipation, but with failing hopes, the day
when such a blessed opportunity to express a unanimous opinion in
favor of a rgadine-periva-will be given us.

’ -~'~Pere are several reasons why a reading period is truly a neces-
f sity.

In ‘the fist place, it is literally almost an impossibility to get
through a reading list for a heavy reading course, such as Minor His-

toy Miner—EKconomics, or First Year History of Art, when the heavy

course is one of 1ouT~all of which demand quite a bit of work. We

understand it is the extremély wise policy of the Dean’s Office to at-

tempt to prevent uis from taking more than one heavy reading course

in any one year, but still we have seen people who were burdened with
two or even three such courses. And even if they are not, and have

~~ only what are supposedly lighter courses, in addition to one heavy one,

we still believe that the term, lighter-course, is purely relative and
- denotes quite a considerable amount of work. In fact, we; have con-
sistently found it true that if we had had only three courses to carry,
we could have done our work as we would like to do it, but that the

addition of the fourth course made the burden of work excessive. We

No sooner peeped he through a pane

With no one there to pay his bail.

“Oxford University is still in a
mediaeval state. The dismal atmo-

Another of our pet illusions has
gone West—the way of Santa Claus
and the Stork! In Oxford’s hallowed
‘cloisters, we had always thought,
scholars stroll with bent head and
thoughtful step, while poems of the
purest loveliness flock through their
peaceful minds. But alas! . Never
again can the delightful vision charm
us as of yore! The scholars, those
charming, brilliant men with their lof-
‘ty thoughts, all doubtless have dirty
necks! So: the Great Unwashed are
our Leaders up the peaks of Thought!

Sat down in the stacks,

You cannot speak with her—
Sit still and relax.

She was there yesterday,
Reading a book.

She will always be there

_The Light That Failed.



Now there’s a man who _ believes

this reading accumulates and is put off to be done just before the exami-
nations; then the students frequetmrty discover to their collective horror
that either all their examinations come at the beginning of the exami-
nation period, or that they are so spaced that it is absolutely impossible
to get -the postponed reading done. This difficulty nécessitates the
lamentable but: prevalent staying up all night, which appears to’ be
such a usual sight in college at this time. We honestly do not feel that
the failure to do their reading is, in most cases, the result of wasting
time on the part of students in the early part of each semester: it is
more the result of the accumulation of reports and reading that are
assigned in courses which are not co-ordinated so that the heavy work
in each course should fall at a different time. Probably such a co-
6rdination would be impossibly difficult, so that we feel that a reading
period is the only solution of the difficulty. |

We realize that it might-be necessary to lengthen the college year

we believe in maintaining the standard of the Bryn Mawr degree, even Resin to put in a week’s reading period before each period of exami-

if we are often hard pressed as a result of that policy, —
We are, however, suggesting that it should be recognized that this

difficulty over the carrying of four courses is fairly universal, and that

iit. of it students are very often—more often than is perhaps
_ébliged to omit some of their reading each week, Naturally







Tfa,ions, but we believe that the students would be willing to have a

longer year in such a good cause. If the faculty would not object to
this diminution of their vacations, we sincerely urge that the question
of a possible reading period should receive serious consideration before
the advent of another set of examinations. 3 Mee ro

Boyd: Enter-Madame, with Elissa -
Landi and Cary Grant, is a charming
opus about an opera singer whose hus-
band is jealous not only of her art but
of her pet dog, while the dog is jeal-
ous of the husband. \

Fox: Lottery Lover, with Lew
Ayres, Pat Patterson and Peggy
Fears, might well be studiously avoid-
ed.

Karlton: By Your Leave, with our
pet stars, Genevieve Tobin and Frank
Morgan, is an amusing comedy, but
nothing more.

Roxy-Mastbaum : The Right To

Live, with Josephine Hutchinson,
George Brent, Colin Clive and
Peggy Wood, is a dramatization

of Somerset Maugham’s The Sacred

Flame, and is all about a young wife

whose husband becomes crippled, and — '
who gives everyone concerned a pain-
ful time while she makes up her mind
to stay with: him.

Stanley: A four-star movie,- The
Lives of a Bengal Lancer, with Gary
Cooper and Sir Guy Standing. A
most intelligent version*of a difficult
book to dramatize.

Stanton: The President Vanishes,
with Arthur Byron and Edward Ar-

White House. Fairly good.

Ursinus Game Opens

Basketball Schedule

New Places on Teams Difficult
To Fill, But Competition
Keen Among Prospects





CENTER POSITIONS WEAK



Before February’ 9, when the Var-
sity will: play its first basketball game
with Ursinus, there are several ques-
tions which must be answered. Kay
Boyd’s graduation makes the position
as Faeth’s running-mate a difficult one
to fill, There are several good for-
wards, however, who are trying out
for the job. Although it is not possi-
ble to say now who will be starting
against Ursinus, there is a chance
that Larned will be at forward. Last
year she was changed to side-center
because of her excellent speed and
teamwork, which-were needed to re-
lieve a weakness at that _ position.
Peirce has been playing very well, and
she seems to have almost as good a
prospect of making the first team as
has Larned.

This change would leave both of
the center positions to be’ filled. Meirs
and Kimberly have been tryin® for
jump, and at present Meirs seems to
be the foremost candidate. She has
the advantage on the jump, but her
speed and passing are not quite up
to Varsity standard. Howe and Cary
have been tried at side-center, but it
is: hard to find a pair who play to-
gether as well as Jones and Larned
did. Kent and Bridgman are sure to
have their old positions at guard.
Their excellent defense play was the
real strength of the team last year,
and we can be sure that it will be so
again this year. There is. a chance
that Kent will be moved to center and
that -Hasse will play guard with
Bridgman.

The second team has had its ranks
even more seriously cut by gradua-
tion, but there are a lot of promising
freshmen. Maynard and Bakewell
are two who are giving Baker and
Peirce considerable competition at
forward. Hasse, Washburn and -Lit-
tle are all competing for the guard po-
sition, and it is hard to choose be-
tween them. . Jackson, Smith and De-
wees are likely candidates for the cen-
ter places,-which are again. the weak
spot.

The following is a list of the squad:

Baker Kent
Bakewell Kimberly
Ballard Larned
Bennett P. Little
Bridgman Maynard

American Ballet is
To Give “Alma Mater”’



Continued from Page One
much of the repertoire be the work

of Americans as is possible, but in or-
der to provide a good program it was

» necessary to use foreign composers for

the present.

Many of the people having a share
in the Ballet are well known in Phil-
adelphia. First and foremost, among
the founders is Edward Warburg, for-
mer Instructor in History of Art at
Bryn Mawr. Perhaps we might say
that through him we can claim a par-
tial share in the Ballet. Franklin
Watkins, who designed the sets and
costumes for Transcendance, is a not-
able Philadelphia artist,’ who is
branching out into a new and interest-
ing medium of art. Among the danc-
ers are several who are _ Philadel-
phians, including Holly Howard,
whose performances at Hartford were
particularly highly praised. Others
who are natives of this city are Dor-
othy and Catherine Littlefield and Au-
drey Guerard.

The Ballet will give two perform-
ances each night, which will begin at
9 o'clock. A large and enthusiastic
audience should be present at this
great event, not only because of the
acknowledged excellence of the Ameri-
can Ballet, but also because all net
proceeds go into the Fiftieth Anniver-
sary Fund. Tickets at $4, $3 and
$2.50 may be obtained at the office of
the Director of Publications.

Christopher Morley
To Talk in Deanery

His Work ig Characterized by
Flair for Literary Anecdotes
and Fine Humor





HAVERFORD GRADUATE



Christopher Morley, who is coming
to speak in Bryn Mawr on Stream
Lines in Literature on Thursday, Jan-
uary 17, has written so many books
that it is impossible to list them and
is so well known to the reading pub-
lic and to Bryn Mawr that it is futile
to list his achievements in full. He
has written over forty books, and has
edited more than half as many: He
is also well known for his column,
“The Bowling Green,” first in the
New York Evening Post and later in
the Saturday Review of Literature,
and for his interesting and successful
adventures in romantic theatrical re-
vivals in the Old Rialto Theatre in
Hoboken.

He has_ published considerable
poetry ever since the issuing of The
Eighth Sin, a volume of light. verse
written and published while he .was
still a-Rhédes scholar studying at New
College, Oxford. Since then he has
become increasingly popular with a
large circle of readers for his whimsi-
cal novels of a bookseller: Parnassus
on Wheels and The Haunted Book-
shop. His books of essays include not-
ably Shandygaff and Tales from a
Rolltop Desk; his humorous and satir-
ical pieces include Kathleen and Swiss
Family Manhattan; and his ability to
write imaginative prose claims atten-
tion in Where the Blue Begins and
Thunder On The Left. All of these
different sorts of pieces show Mr.
Morley’s versatility and at the same
time his extraordinary charm. He
writes with a cosmopolitan and mel-
low humor of almost everything that
could turn in a full and interesting
life. And while he averages two
puns to the page, he writes at the
same time with exceptional penetra-
tion into human qualities and with
an unusual flair for more or less lit-.
erary anecdotes.

Mr. Morley is, of all famous peo-
ple, one of the most familiar with
this part of the country. He was born
in Haverford and lived there until he
was ten, when his father left his posi-
tion as professor of mathematics at
Haverford to take a chair of pure
‘mathematics at Johns Hopkins. Mr.
Morley returned after a_ short six
years, however, to enter Haverford
as a freshman, and Haverford Col-
lege is lucky, as a result, to have in
its files of The Haverfordian a great
many of the early creative pieces of
prose and poetry that the _ present
famous essayist, columnist, poet, and
novelist wrote. Mr. Morley’s impres-
sions of Haverford, Philadelphia, and
of Bryn Mawr .are recorded in his
“personal testament” (published in
1931), John Mistletoe. His recollec-
tions of such well known places as

Leary’s in Philadelphia and his men-j

tion of the building of Taylor Hall
(a “sinister nondescript” he calls it,
in commenting on its architecture),
and his description of the books in
the Haverford library are very amus-
ing and revealing, regarding college
life of the first decade of this century.
It may be further noted with interest
that Mr. Morley judged the last Bryn
Mawr Lantern contest, held in 1931-
32. a

> Bryn Mawr is glad to welcome Mr.
Morley because of his distinction and
charm as a writer and speaker, and
is more than glad to welcome him—
for sentimental reasons.

people. Ferndale, the
house in Laburnum Grove, Shooter’s
Green, North London, is the epitome
of comfortable middle class living
rooms, complete with fruit Bowl and
radio.

It develops, however, that this com-

fortable living room is haunted by
members of a gang of international
counterfeiters. Pretty Elsie Radfern,
her irritating uncle and aunt, and her
good-natured mother are involved in
the criminals’ nefarious doings; and
George Radfern himself is not ‘only
a mild, domestically inclined husband
and father, but also a first-rate crook.

Priestley weaves his plot with such
consummate technical skill that
seems almost too mechanical. In the
first act Radfern informs his sister-
in-law, her husband, his daughter E]-
sie, and her young man that he is a
counterfeiter. They all believe him.
In the second act, Mrs. Radfern laughs
them all out of their fears, and they
and the audience suffer a distinct men-
tal slump.
citement begins all over’ again; there
is unlooked for suspense and a sur-
prise finish. The plot is clever and
neatly turned, but so are the plots
of innumerable detective stories. The
excellence inherent in the play, which
made it so popular in London, and
which will, or we miss our guess, as-
sure it a solid success in New York,
lies in the characters.
the lines extraordinarily good, but the
English cast is almost perfect.

From the moment that Bernard
Baxley, the incorrigible adventurer
from’Singapore, wanders lazily into

‘the room, eating his interminable ba-

nana, and begins his interminable
bickering with Mrs. Baxley, the audi-
ence relaxes in its chairs and prepares
to enjoy itself. George Radfern, trot-
ting in, exclaiming over his home-
grown tomatoes, has everyone’s sym-
pathy and interest from the outset.
These are increased when we learn
that Bernard, the brother-in-law, and
Harold, the would-be fiancé, are both
planning to touch him for 450 pounds
apiece after dinner. Edmund Gwenn
fits so perfectly into his réle that it
is impossible to conceive of Radfern
as anything but round and small with
a high voice and a bald head. _ Elsie
is very natural and sweet; her Harold
is all that anyone would expect of a
handsome second-hand car salesman.
Mrs. Radfern is sympathetic and at
times admirable, as at the moment
when she finally orders her sister,

Mrs. Baxley, and her brother-in-law |

out of the house after enduring more
than the average Christian martyr
would. Sour Mrs. Baxley, dressed in
a skimpy nightgown and a Japanese
bath robe, at an early hour of the
morning is not easily to be forgotten,
and lazy Bernard, dropping banana
skins on the Radfern table and suit-
cases all over the Radfern house, is
nothing short of a work of art.

There are no sallies of brilliant wit
here and very little mention of any-
thing outside of the most trivial of
matters. A family supper, a family
breakfast, provide almost all the ac-
tion’in the play. Priestley is direct-
ly in the tradition of Jane Austen; He
realizes that infinite amusement and
excitement lie in the commonplace. His
art is in making the audience realize
it—and like it. :

his pianissimo voice. Both of these
songs, however, were sung with sim-
plicity and understanding.

In the beautiful Strauss “Traum
Durch die Dammerung” Mr. De
Loache had a lovely round tone. His
fine legato was especially noticeable
in this and also in the “Zweignung,”
which ended the second group.

Next came “Rondel de 1’Adieu”’ of de
Lara and the Serenade from Berlioz’s
“Damnation of Faust.” The Serenade
was extremely well sung and full of
gaiety. The two de Falla Songs were
characteristically plaintive and orien-

Certainly the high point in this last
group, both ‘musically and emotional-
ly, was reached in the well-known “No-

\Mr. De Loache sang them as they
should be sung, simply and with deep
jemotion and obvious understanding.
He was not a concert artist giving a
patronizing impersonation of a negro.
‘He got at the root of the songs and
his sure round tone -was enhanced by
the dramatic quality inherent in the
‘music and words.

Mr. De Loache responded to the de-
‘mands of the audience with three en-;
cores, the last of which was another
spiritual, “I Got a Home in_ that
\Rock.” This unfamiliar piece was
‘sung without accompaniment and pro-
vided a fitting climax to the program.

Years and Years Ago

The Philistine continues to respond
very gladly to queries propounded by
the perplexed. “Answers to _ the
Anxious” by a member of the class of
1900 evinces this willingness:

May Jor Latin:—I don’t understand
about the crib you ask for. Do you
wish it for a child? If so, you will
find your question answered in the
column headed “Domestic Difficulties.”

Mina Latin:—I di sure that you
will find. your teacher knows the verb
flunko, flunkere even if he didn’t put it
in your lesson book.

Jennie Ralenglish:—1—the diction-
aries define the verb “to quiz” as “to
ask questions in an obscure way, with

the intention of ridiculing;” doesn’t |’

that answe® your question? 2—you
might buy the game of Familiar Quo-
tations; you will find it very instruc-
tive and at the same time entertain-
ing for yourself and your friends.

G Ology:—Yes, I think a knowledge
of bluffs will be of great assistance to
you in your examinations, but I should
advise you not to make use of one in
writing your paper.

_ Essie Work:—If you have the trou-
bles you mention, why not write
larger?

“Side Falls with Spooks,” too, is a
series of helpful suggestions, although
not to students this time.

Departed Widow:—You say your
spirit is perplexed by the ghosts of
your three husbands quarreling over
you? You should have considered that
before you died.

Inquiring Miss:—Ghosts of fouf-
teen wear their sheets plain, and their
hair in braids to the tops of their
boots.

Mutilated Warrior:—If you apply
at the “Found” counter you may find
the arm and leg which you say pre-
ceded you.

Sally Country:—Even in Hades, I
would not ride in a. buggy with two
young gentlemen spooks. The «same
rule governs a lady everywhere.

Anxious Mother:—No, I would not
give the baby brimstone.

We return to the upper region for
a breath of air and find ourselves in
the Bryn Mawr Library, which seems
.to include in 1899 such books as:

Won by Waiting,—A. B. .

Songs in Many Keys,—Glee Club.

A Heaven Kissing Hill,—The Pom-
padour.

Anatomy of Melancholy;—’99 _be-
fore the Orals. =
“You used to be my Gibson girl,

But Gibson’s out of fashion,
So will you be my Beardsley girl?
For Beardsley’s all my passion.”

The Philistine contains hints on dec-
orations for Young Girls’ Rooms with
apologies to the Ladies’ Home Journal.

“T am sure every girl will want to
have her room entirely unique and one
way of accomplishing this is by chang-
ing the tone of the furniture. Any
one can paint -her ordinary college
fire-place, bookcase, and bureau so as
to make them entirely unlike any one’s‘
else, and the cost is very trifling. I
have seen a few cans of pink paint
make a college room different from
any I have ever seen elsewhere. (So,
alas, havé we. Somebody must have
followed this suggestion, for pink fur-
niture is still extant. Its location will
be divulged—if anyone wants to
know.)

“A dainty dressing-table may be
constructed out of a barrel draped pret-
tily with cretonne. It is particularly
effective ifthe barrel is filled with
apples. Feather dusters make charm-
ing photograph holdéts; and add a
bright touch of color. tthe resm!"”

The big-ch@ss' tournament got un-
der way amid much enthusiasm in the
spring of 99. “The players have
trained with the greatest care, and ac-
cording to the most approved stien-
tific methods. These require that
sleep be reduced to a minimum de-
gree in order that no one engaging in
the combat shall be tempted to in-i
dulge in undue haste. For the same
reason, all spring dainties, or any
other food that may have an enliven-
ing influence, are strictly forbidden
aining. As yet, how-

THE PROFESSOR
There was a professor whose ties

, They dated each lecture .
By color and texture,
A method I.cannot advise.

We can, though: Half of the joy
would be gone out of lectures if the
faculty all dressed uniformly. We
cannot think what sort of uniform
they would all want to wear, anyhow.
Roman togas would be rather nice, be-
ing neat but not gaudy, and able to
be draped to suit the individual.

because it camegon the market so
soon after the last endowment effort
in 1925, that’ ‘it was not possible
then to raise the money to buy it.
At the earnest request of the alum-
nae members of the board, the money
was borrowed by the trustees of the
College with the understanding that
the alumnae wished definitely to
make Wyndham a part of their fif-
tieth anniversary gift to the College.

Academic salaries have always
been of first importance to the alum-
nae and the release of the College
funds now used for carrying Wynd-
ham will go a long way towards
putting these on a sound basis.

A million doliars will not meet all
of Bryn Mawr’s needs, but it will be
a splendid beginning in carrying out
the wise and farseeing plan for the
development of the Bryn Mawr that
is to be in the next fifty years.

CAROLINE McCorMIck SLADE.



Seven Year Plan Under Way

The key to the development of the
Seven Year Plan for the a€ademic and
financial future of the College as
worked out by the Fiftieth Anniver-
sary Committee of the. Alumnae As-
sociation and the Committee from the
Board of Directors of the College, is
securing a Science Building. This is
imperatively necessary to continue
and strengthen the high academic
work of the College. The problems
facing the College as outlined in the
Seven Year Plan are first, the main-
tenance of a scholarly faculty in the
face of increasing competition with
other colleges with increased salaries;
second, provision for more individual
work for advanced undergraduate stu-
rdents, and third, provision for ade-
quate library and classroom space in
the new wing of the Library and for
modern laboratories and laboratory
equipment in a new Science Building.
The plan further provides in order to
increase the annual income of the Col-
lege: first, that the tuition shall be
increased by one hundred dollars; sec-
ond, that the undergraduate body be
inereased to five hundred, and third,
that a new Dormifory be built. From
this increased income at least two-
thirds is to be used for faculty sal-
aries. The first step in the plan was
taken ifi 1980 wnen the tuition was
raised by one hundred doi!ars._ Now

namely, the Science Building and the
release of the College money tied up
by the purchase of Wyndham.

THEATRE REVIEW



In the hope that everyone who casts
an eyé upon this review will read
further and note contents diligently,
we are embarking’ on “a ~~ somewhat
dangerous course of reviewing Within
The Gates, which opens at the Chest-
nut Theatre in Philadelphia this week
for a one-week’s run, and should be
seen at all costs. Within The Gates
is an epic drama, the only epic drama,
we believe, to emerge from the pen of
our contemporaries, and it is so ob-
viously monumental and greater than
the stage which contains it, that it is
not an easy matter to criticize it.

In the first place, in order to clear
up. all doubt, we may as well say at
once that the play takes place in
Hyde Park and that al ‘of the char-
acters are symbols. This fact may be
clearly adduced from their names:
they are called, for instance, The
Dreamer, The Bishop, The Scarlet
Woman, who is, by the way, most de-
lightfully attired in scarlet from head
tor toe; The Young Man in Plus
Fours, who is the type of the man
whose main preoccupation is sexual
indulgence;; The Young Whore, The
Old Woman, The Bishop’s Sister, and
The Man in the Bowler Hat. |

The Dreamer acts as an interlocu-
tor, to whom all the others tell their
stories and their troubles, and who
expresses in his own words the theme
of the play. Lifé, to the Dreamer, is
a thing of joy, lustily to be enjoyed.
The Spring, and the sun, the green
grass and the flowers, the urge toward
love that stirs in men and women
when the Spring comes, the delight of
loving a woman joyfully, should be en-
joyed to the full and not swallowed
up by petty difficulties. People in
trouble turn to the Church, either the
organized or the Evangelical Church,
represented by a Salvation Army
crew, but the Church has lost touch
with life today and cannot help them.
People spend their timé searching for
the meaning f life, trying to under-
stand it through philosophy and
knowledge, but philosophy and knowl-
edge also are out of touch with actual
life and cannot explain life so that
people can understand. it. The an-
swer to it all is that life can be, and
should be, filled with joy in Nature
and Love, the simple primal pleas-
ures which are a source of joy for
everyone, and that such a life is a
simple, wholehearted round of lusty
pleasure. s

The Young Whore is the symbol of
the people who want to enjoy. life in
this way and are kept back from do-
ing so by fear. The Church has im-
pressed its doctrine of fear and salva-
tion through an ascetic life so sharply
on The Young Whore’s spirit, in a
girlhdod spent in’ a convent school,
that she cannot live her life’ without
feeling incessant, torturing fear. She
enjoys being a whore, she takes in-
tense delight in lust and love, but
she is afraid, terribly afraid that she
is losing her soul because‘xshe does
enjoy such a life. She is determined
to live her life joyously, to “die danc-
ing,” but her death is not far off, and
time arid again, she is driven by fear
to seek refuge in the arms ‘of the
Church, praying to beysaved. First,
the Church, in the person of the mi-
tred Bishop in all his episcopal robes,
repulses her, and then, through a

clever weaving of plot so that the].

Bishop discovers the Whore to be his
illegitimate daughter, the Church tries
to save her.

that the Church cannot save her: it
is too much out of touch with the pri-
mal joy of life. The Bishop offers to
place her in a convent until her soul
is serene and quiet once more, but the
confining asceticism of a churchly life
is too narrow for one who has es-
caped into a joyous life, and she tairns
to a love affair with the Dreamer

accept the Bishop’s offer. Later, when
death is close upon her, she turns to
the EvangelistS and pleads to be sav-
ed, again struck with torturing fear,

‘but the Dreamer appears with his doc-

trine of joy and love just as she is
being swayed by the prayers of the
Salvation Army officer, and she dies
dancing and rejoicing in the pleasure
of her life. :

The structure of this play is an
amazing and ingenious feat. Charac-
ters stroll across Hyde Park, each
one incredibly perfect in his type, the
Chair Attendants talking about horse
racing in one accent, the Nursemaids
talking about their love affairs in an-
other. The Nursemaids haughtily re-
fuse to be picked up, only to reappear
later with their men and frankly in-
dulge in the pleasures of necking.
The mén who discuss politics and
whether there is a God give a perfect:
example of people who misunderstand
and are confused by popular religion
and philosophy. In the _ beginning,
when characters stroll .across_ the
stage, entirely disconnected and bound
up in their. own lives and problems,
it seems impossible that the play will
ever fuse into a coherent whole, but,
as has been pointed out by innumer-
able critics, the characters finally fuse
together into a complete mosaic. Each
character contributes a necessary
piece to the theme of the play, and
the theme stands out with amazing
clarity from the completed mosaic.
This is the only play we have ever
seen in which an idea was made con-
crete and real, rather than a char-
acter’ extricated from a plot. There
is no emotional involving of the audi-
ence in the problems of the charac-
ters, but rather an intellectual invol-
ving of the audience in the problem of
the idea. It is a remarkable achieve-
ment, and the staging of the idea, the
use of costuming and typing to repre-
sent religion, joyous life, Victorian
life, as represented by the Bishop’s
Sister, and a life of fear, as shown, by
the Chorus of the Down-and-Outers,
is a \ iekity of playwriting over the
the “difficulties of the medium of the
theatre.

The play is written in poetry, which
seldom: become obvious, but gives a
beauty of tone to the whole that. ip-
troduces an epic element. Each of the

the instant after she has agreed to’

scenes represents one'of the four sea-
sons of the year, and is introduced
by a chorus dancing and reciting. The
words of the Springtime Chorus are
particularly beautiful:

“Our mother, the earth, is a maiden
afain, young, fair, and a_ maiden
vagain. wf

“Her thoughts are a dance as she
seeks out her bridegroom, the Sun,
through the lovely confusion of sing-
ing of birds, and of blossom and bud.

“She feels the touch of his hand on
her hair, on her cheeks, on her mouth,
on her breast, as she dances along.

“Through the lovely confusion of

singing of birds and of blossoms and
bud.”

The Chorus of the Down-and-Outers
is one of the most terrifying: things
we have ever witnessed on a stage.
The whole art of the theatre is used
to convey the terror with which Mr.
O’Casey regards these Down-and-Out-
ers who have given way to their fear
of life and have lost hope. Whenever
their Chorus is heard, the stage is
darkened, but in the first three scenes
the Chorus is off-staged and ap-
proaches gradually, so that a cumu-
lative effect of terror is built up. The
words of their chorus are recited at
first in a low moan, which grows grad-
ually clearer, until the words ‘are dis-
tinguished:

“Life has passed by us to the
roll of her drum.
With her waving flags of yellow and
green held high,
All starr’d with the golden, flaming

Oh, where shall we go when the day

Oh, where shall we sleep when the
night falls?

dead hope;

We carry furled: the fainting flags
of a dead hope and a dead

Series to be Given
By Pro Arte Quartet
Brussels Artists Offer Range

Of Classical, Modern Works

‘ In Ten Concerts



WELL-KNOWN IN EUROPE



Bryn Mawr College takes pleasure
in announcing that through the mu-
nificent generosity of. Mrs. Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge, of Washington, the
Pro Arte String Quartet’ of sere
will give a series of ten concerts a
the College. The concerts will be
' given in Goodhart Hall on successive
-Sunday afternoons at 4.15 and suc-
cessive Wednesday evenings at 8.30,
from January 20 to February 20, in
clusive.

Admission is by invitation, but the
College will be happy to send invita-
tions to any lovers of Chamber Music
on application to the Director of Pub-
lication, Bryn Mawr College.

The Pro Arte Quartet was founded
in 1918. Before the War, a quartet
of young men (including two of the
present members, Onnou & Halleaux)
had been formed in Brussels. Aftef
the Armistice, General Buffin, him-
self a composer of no mean order, re-
formed the quartet with musicians
who were all in the first regiment of
the Guides, viz., Messrs: Onnou, Hal-
leux, Prevost and Quinet. In 1923
Quinet was replaced by Maas (’Cello).

From the outset the quartet devot-





é themselves lar rare to siadenn music
and in a few years won fame in _Eu-
rope.. It made important cont¥ibu-
tions ‘to the “Cong#*,de, la Revue
Musicale’”’?-and_the-“Concerts_Wiener”
in Paris, played a series of modern
works at the International Festivals
at Salzburg and elsewhere, founded

_|the “Pro Arte Concerts” in Brussels

and toured with triumphant success
in France, Switzerland, Italy and
England.

In 1923 the Quartet was chosen. by-

Mrs. Coolidge to perform the works
for which prizes were offered by -the
Coolidge Foundation, at the American
Academy in Rome. Their success was

instantaneous and Mrs. Coolidge then’

invited them to play at the Library
of Congress in Washington and after-
wards in New York and at Yale Uni-
versity. Since then they have made
several tours in this country and this
last summer gave:a series of twelve
concerts at Mills College, in Califor-
nia, They are also giving at Yale this
season a series similar to that at Bryn
Mawr College.

Their repertory is a very extensive
one, as beside the great Classical and
Romantic works‘of Haydn, Mozart,
Beethoven, Schubert, Méndelssohn,
Schumann and Brahms, it includes a
large number of the chamber music
works of the present day, by such
composers as Hindemith, Schoenberg,
Bartok, Stravinsky, Szymanowski,
Malipiero, Pizzetti, Bloch, Goosens,
Vaughan Williams, Ravel, Milhaud,
Honegger, Respighi, Sowerby, Gruen-
berg and many of the younger Amer-
ican composers.



Their programs at Bryn Mawr wilt
embrace a_ wide range | of interesting
aveustiactZ Lens; preserva
balance between the classical and the
modern:

Ch. Van Den Borren, writing of the
Quartet in Brussels, says: “All those
who have heard the Pro Arte have
been struck by that almost supernat-
ural faculty possessed by them of im-
materializing their execution to such
an extent that the idea.of the “musical
instrument” is practically forgotten.
In works such as Debussy’s and Rav-
el’s Quartets this “magic fluid” is
spread in a ravishing manner.’

“Classical and romantic works lose

nothing by being shrouded in such a
nimbus.. Through’ their tone-color,
rhythm and phrasing the Pro Arte
Quartet’s interpretations of the ‘older
works show: profound comprehension
of the spirit of the Masters, and in
their performance of modern works,
in pleading, as the Quartet knows how
to do, the cause of the boldest mod-
ern musicians, they have assumed a

useful and beneficial role which will

earn them the gratitude of those who
think that the art cannot, at any per-
iod of its evolution, remain bound by
unalterable and-intangible rules.”

be joyous and to “die dancing,” is re-

of God is als@a little long drawn out

of the usual involving of the audience
in the emotional difficulties of the in-
dividual actors, but we were constant-
ly interested in the play and intellect-
ually, if not emotionally, deeply in-
volved. The most convincing proof
that the audience does become involved
in the play is that when the last cur-
tain fell after the final applause, the
audience sat silently for two or three
minutes, making no move to get up
and leave, and quite obviously thought
about the play, Theeffect of the play
and the success with which the idea
is conveyed are so great that the au-
dience is practically stunned into still-

D’Oyly Carte Player
Entertained At Tea





Some of the members of the Bryn
Mawr Glee Club. were entertained: at
a tea in honor of Miss Elizabeth
Nickell-Lean, a member of the cast
of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company,
on January 10 at the Deanery. The
tea was given by Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
fred Bancroft, and Miss Nickell-Lean
gave a highly entertaining account of
the life and travels"of the D’Oyly
Carte Company. The salient feature
of the Company is that they universal-
ly love their work and take -an in-
tense pride in the success of every
single performance.

The Company plays a full season
in London every .other year, and dur-
ing the intervening year usually make
a tour of the British Colonies. It
goes mainly to India and Canada, be-
cause there is a permanent D’Oyly
. Carte Company in Australia, which

returns to London about every fourth

year to benefit by a year under the di-

rection of the London director.

About one thousand applicants seek
admission to the D’Oyly Carte Com-
pany every year. If a candidate is
excessively good, he or she is taken
into the chorus, but if not, is put on
the list for possible future admission.

All the members of the Company, ex- |

cept Darrell Fancourt, have entered
through the chorus, and are therefore
extremely well acquainted with every
single part in every operetta.

The original D’Oyly Carte Com-
pany acted the Gilbert and Sullivan
operettas when they were first pro-
duced, and were coached by Gilbert
and Sullivan themselves. The way in
which all the songs are rendered, the
lines delivered and the dances per-
formed is in the exact tradition of
Gilbert and Sullivan’s original direc-

tion. Nothing has been changed, ex-
cept the dance in which. Ko-Ko has
such difficulties with his. big toe in 7'he
Mikado; this idea was introduced by
Sir Henry Lytton, who was Martyn
Green’s. predecessor in the part of
Ko-Ko. Mr. Lytton was with the
D’Oyly Carte Company for fifty years,
and because of his childlike spontane-
ity, was finally allowed to make an
innovation.

The Company carries twenty-five
tons of. sets on its wanderings, and
the sets and fans a®e painted by. prom-
inent English artists,~so that they
have an intrinsic value apart from
their use as stage properties. Remark-
able care is taken that all the cos-
tumes should be ; dal as they were
originally design .f

This is the first time in fifty-five
years that the Company has made a
tour of America, and the members are
particularly :favorably impressed’ by
the number of parties to which they
have been invited. They plan to visit
Boston, Chicago, and Washington, be-
fore returning to play their tradi-
tional week at Oxford and Cambridge
before the end of the term.

¢ Movie Review

The audience at The Little Minis-
ter was unusually sympathetic to the
story and to the characters of the
movie. Following upon each act of
whimsy on the part of Babbie and
upon each expression of world weari-
ness on the part of the Scotch police-
man of the piece, such an enthusiastic
laugh ran through the rows as drown-
ed the succeeding line’ Just after the
scene in which Gavin Dishart was
thought to be dying, there was a sur-
reptitious rustle of handkerchiefs and
a large number of people complained
of signs of a common cold. Such a
reaction to’.a movie does not commend
a picture of itself, except when the

‘most important features of a picture

are,good. We do not need to hesi-
taté to recommend The Little Minis-
ter at all, in that it is good in its
séveral aspects, and in that it does
play to sympathetic audiences with-
out the difficulties usually experienced
in presenting a realistic. scene of a
different era.

We need not, however, preface a
criticism of the different aspects of
the production with more comment
of a general sort: our criticism re-
quires no softened introduction.

The acting was excellent through-
out. Katharine Hepburn has done.
in the part of Babbie, the most ma-
ture acting of her movie career. In
The Little Minister she has dropped
the hoydenish airs she assumed in her
previous successes and has succeeded
in acting the quaint but sensitive hero-





ine of Barrie’s play with subtle charm.
Miss Hepburn is whimsical and arch
but at the same time she suggests
the sensitiveness of Babbie by her re-

scenes with Gavin Dishart and upon
her ‘meeting with his: .mother, Mrs.
Dishart. ‘This air of refinement which
Miss Hepburn: has heretofore sacri-
ficed to the production of an illusion
of unbounded youth by her movement
and by her voice, contributes a great
deal to this movie in the way of at-
mosphere and exposition of character
and plot.
John Beal and Beryl“Mercer, play-
ing Gavin Dishart—the little minister
—and Mrs. Dishart, respectively, ef-
fect this-same tone of refinement by
their acting. John Beal plays Gav-
in’s part wjth nice judgment. He
strikes a good balance in presenting a
character that is strong and sincere,
but a trifle shy and unsophisticated.
In contrast with the several shots we
have of him nonplussed by Babbie’s
forwardness, or dashed by the latest
misfortune of the plot, we -have such
a scene as that in which with full
Scotch vigor and sincerity he de-
nounces Rob Dow from the pulpit.
The photography, the sets, and the
costumes produce no new or startling
effects; and we are glad of it. Most
of the scenes are artistic pictorially
