A
Lucian’s Classic Satire
Has Serious Motive



Dr. Paul Shorey, professor in Greek
at Bryn Mawr College from 1885 -to
1892, and now head of the Greek de-
~partment at the University of Chicago,
lectured on Lucian Friday, April 24.
The object of his study was to give
some preliminary notion of the kind
of entertainment that students will find
in this author.

Lucian is the unique example of the
production of° first-rate literature in
what was for ‘him virtually a learned
language acquired from books, The
classicism of his manner heightens by

piquant contrast the effect of the real-

ism and modernity of his matter. His
originality lies in the portrayal and
satire. of. the fume, the din and opu-
‘lence of the world’s capitol and the
academic peace and still air of Athens,
presented by the Greco-Roman Empire
at the culmination of its picturesque-
ness in the century ‘that preceded its
decline and fall.

Cervantes laughed Spain’s chivalry
away, and Lucian is sometimes thought
to have performed the same office for
the-gods—of-Greece. This free think- |
ing, however, comes even from Homer.
In. themselves, then,-Lucian’s dialogues
of the gods need not be more than a
continuance of this tradition, the exer-
cise of this conventional and accepted
license. The fun is more obvious in
some of the longer ones based on the
Homeric councils or assemblies of the
gods.

Lucian’s readiness to make a butt of
the philosophers is apparent, but the
seriousness beyond—the main motive
to his satire—is the ‘charge that they
do not live up to their professions,
Following the greatest humorist the
victims_of_his_satire_are_totally—uncon--|
scious of what is grossly apparent to
everyone else.

The mien’s parts in the play were well
taken by members of Haverford college.
Mr. Trion’s Frederic Arbuthnot, or Fer-
dinand Arundel, though a bit stiff for a
gay young blade, showed very real ‘feel-

ing, and Mr. Parker, as Briggs, gave.

just that impression of sincerity required
by the part. Domenico (Mr. Haines)
might have been an Italian, not “only
from his speech, but from his agility and
his good-natured tolerance of “these
foreigners” who.do not know how to
express themselves.. As a matter of fact,
tHe most comic scéne in the play was that
in which Mellersh, very effectively played
by Mr. Ammerman, orders a “bag-no”
except, perhaps, for the one in which he
emerges from the latter, veiled only by a
bath-towel and a cloud of steam. We

The set for the prologue, down to the
bric-a-brac, was incredibly ‘realistic, and
a fine contrast in atmosphere to that for
the castle at San Salvatore, which, with
its. bright stucco wails, arched doorways,
handsome railings, and wistaria, must
have lived up even to Lottie’s expecta-
tions, and it is quite easy to conceive the

Interview With Edib

Mme. Edib’s reply to:/our question
about .her feeling toward our humble

selves, “>

The qualignot Madanie Eaib which
most impressedus was her modesty.
When confronted-by the remark that
she had been described as “poet, ora-
tor, and. Jean d’Arc of Turkey” her
firét reaction. was one of amusement.
“IT am not a poet;.I couldn’t write
verse to save my life,” she said..: Mme.
Edib admitted that she had had some
experience in the field of prose, but
poetry? - Emphatically “No! I do not
care much for poetry in its proper
sense of the word,” she said, “but I
love doggerel.” As to her abilities as

desire further proof of her excellence.
And as. to being the Jean d’Arc of
Turkey, Mme. Edib’s ‘reply ~ was,

And then, just as we were gather-
ing together our courage to ask her
opinion on Bryn Mawr, Mme. Edib:

ing that we haven’t seen better (or as

good, for that matter) on Broadway
in some time.

After this the ““Melodee Four” again
appeared, to sing “Gypsy Sweetheart”
and a_ spiritual to the effect that
“We're goin’ home to Héaven, because
we want to join that band.” John
Whitaker, Denbigh’s porter, gave his
own interpretation of a snake dance
to “The New. Lowdown.” It’s not
merely local pride that words fail. us.
The audience burst into delighted
howls, as John, blue-shirted and with a
red and blue sash about his waist,
wreathed and writhed, shimmying,
twisting, and pantofniming with: uns
paralleled zeal.

The classic “St. Louis Blues” and
“St. James Infirmary” were rendered
next by the orchestra with all the ap-
propriate moans and wails for the



“baby” who “was stretched out on that | 4

table, so cold, so calm, so fair.” Wash-
board Walt, Dave of the slippery feet,
and Jelly-roll each tapped the boards,
and the Melodee Four sang “Memo-
ries of You” with such effect that they
were forced to. respond to cries -of
“More! More!” with “Them There

"| Eyes.”

“Tiger Rag,” intended as a grand
finale, created’ such a stir that it was
“Tl See You in My Dreams” which
finally closed the program.
