Eminent Novelist Lectures on||

Virginia Woolf and
D. H. Lawrence



TWO ARE _ DISSIMILAR



Thursday night in .Goodhart, Vic-
toria Sackville-West* talked, not on
James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence, as

. announced, but on Virginia Woolf

and D. H. Lawrence. She said that
it was through a mistake of her
agent that James Joyce had been -put
on her lecture list and that she did
not intend to read his books for the
sole purpose of: rectifying it.

, Of the two authors on whom she
was to lecture,-Mrs. Sackville-West
said, “I have been wondering how
possibly to effect a marriage between
these two modern geniuses. There
have been many definitions of the
word ‘genius;’ none worse than ‘an
infinite capacity for taking pains;’
‘leaping before you look’ is a prefer-
able definition; but the best is that
‘genius is the power of seeing life
with your own individual vision.’ ”
These two writers possess genius of
the last type; that is the main point
in which they are similar, and that
also is what makes them an acquired
taste—like oysters. Mrs. Sackville-
West confessed that she did not like
novels, but added that she has not
missed one by Virginia Woolf or D.
H. Lawrence since acquiring the taste
for their styles.

Although the genius of each is alike
in being individual, their differences
are more striking than their similar
ties. Some might explain away these
divergences on the ground of sex,
supposing the masculine brain to be
coldly intellectual and the feminine
compounded of sensibility and emo-
tion. The reverse is true in this case,
as Lawrence is emotional and Vir-
ginia Woolf restrainedly intellectual.
The cause may instead be sought in
the environments of the two.

Lawrence’ was the son of a col-
lier, who spent most of his life un-
derground. The great superiority of
his mother provided him with a driv-
ing power which sent him through
the State schools and then to a high
school at Nottingham on scholarship.
An atmosphere violently contrasting
with the grey life of Lawrence sur-
Since her
father was Sir Leslie Stephen, she
grew up in a circle where all the talk
was of books, art, and music.

“I never knew Lawrence; I wish
I had, for: all,that I know of him is
hearsay. He could be almost child-
ishly gay in his more charming
moods. He was a very restless spir-
it, constantly moving about as _ if
trying’ to find peace in some corner
of the world. Lawrence had a tal-
ent for uprooting himself, his few
belongings, and his wife; but was at

Bryn Mawr Defeats

Hard-Fought Game Against

SECOND TEAM WINS, 31-27



The Bryn Mawr Varsity defeated
the Philadelphia Cricket Club in a
close-fought game by the score of 41-
35. Dunn was high scorer of the
game with a total of 25 points, while
Collier was next with 22. The game
as a whole was well-played, very close
throughout, and, as a result, extreme-
ly interesting to watch.

Throughout the game, the passing
of both teams was excellent and fast,

lead the scoring. Faeth and Collier
played well together, as usual, while
Longacre and Remington in the cen-
tral court positions were a deciding
factor in the final socre.

The guards had rather a hard time
against their more experienced for-
wards, especially as Kent-was-missing®”
from the line-up. Bridgman and Bow-
ditch, however, played fairly well to-
gether, but the Kent-Bridgman com-
bination has proved to be the most
advantageous, since Longacre has
come back to the center position.

The remaining scheduled games
should provide excellent competition
and plenty of exciting moments. Come
to see them!

The line-up was as follows:

The second varsity defeated the

team by the close score of 31-27. Only
once in the third quarter, when Anne
VanVechten was lost because of a
strained knee, did the visitors get a
slight lead on the Bryn Mawr team,
and that was soon lost. :

Throughout the first half, both
teams had many chances to tally, but
were either entirely inaccurate or else
seriously hampered by the. guards.
VanVechten’s close guarding kept E!-
liott to one lone basket in the first
half. McCormick was often wide
of the rim, and took far too many
chances on long shots. Baker had a

many pretty shots. |

In the second half, Raynor wag sub-

of the schools interested seem to tend

French Club to Present
Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme



On Friday, March 17, at 8.20, the
French—C€lub—will present Le Bour-
geois Gentilhomme in Goodhart Hall.
This play is one of Molieres’s most
hilarious comedies, satirizing the so-
cial climbing “of a “nouveau-riche.”
The pivot of action and the unity of
interest center in the vanity of Mon-
sieur Jourdain, who strives to imi-
tate his social superiors. °

The play was written at the com-...
mand of Louis XIV, who wanted
merely a framework for the Turkish
ceremony, which burlesqued an em-
bassy of Turks to the French court.
This ballet-aspect was of more im-
portance in the opinion of the court
than the comedy, but Moliere so
modified the material which he was
given, that the Turkish ceremony be-
comes the climax to Monsieur Jour-
dain’s vanity.

The French Club is using the orig-
inal music written for the ballet by
Jean-Baptiste Lulli.

A modern adaptation of the“tsual
classic stage set will be used. In -the
classic setting the entrances are from
the back of the stage, but in this mod
ern set, the entrances are from the
side. There will be three.steps, the
width of the stage, leading up to a

‘platform, on which most of the action

will take place.
The roles are as follows
Monsieur Jourdain, bourgeois,
Olivia‘ Jarrett
Madame Jourdain, sa femme,

The Light. That Fails

There are always certain individuals in every community who.

imagine themselves to be possessed of extraordinary genius, intelli-
gence, or perception which elevates them above the common herd and
enables them to watch the little children play with a tolerant smile.
This is unfortunately true at Bryn Mawr-ewhere the long and honor-

able tradition of learning is often misinterpreted by students as one of
intellectual snobbishness. Bryn Mawr has built up a tradition of being
almost impossible to achieve and extremely difficult to continue in and

some of our citizens tend to add to this myth. of impossibility, and’

once inside the gates assume an air of intellectual superiority to us
and to all mankind. Just what they consider themselves to be proving
it is hard to imagine. They adopt an attitude of walking encyclopae-
dias in the smoking-room, but only the more ebwvilized subjects are in-
eluded within their holy pages. They spend their time discussing the
optional reading in a course, frowning upon those of us who don’t
suffer acutely from the intellectual altitude of the third floor of Tay-
lor, and they regard any subject’ which receives wholesale acclaim, be
it a book, play, movie or invention, as a publie fetish upon which to
snort indignantly. Why students who come to Bryn Mawr feel that
it is incumbent upon them to adopt this pose of intellectual. rarefica-
tion is beyond us. We are all in college to get an education, but it
will be worth very little to us indeed if we lose our humanity, socia-
bility and world sympathy in the process. There is no creature more
unpopular in any community than one. who knows more than anyone
else does, and is his own chief witness to that effect. College is a close
community, composed in the main of cheerful souls who are not above
cutting intellectual corners at times, and who would rather talk to a
professor about the movies and prohibition at hall teas than about the
fourth dimension and the stratosphere. We all want to learn or we
~ would not be here, but most of us are inclined to assimilate what» we
can in as friendly and as intelligent a manner as ‘possible.. The most
brilliant people ever turned out by Bryn Mawr have been recruited
largely from the class of students regarded by: our pseudo-intellects
as unimaginative creatures who did their work without shouting from
the housetops, spoke not whereof they did not know, talked normally
to professors out of class, and did not consider it putting one foot in
the gutter when they admitted a liking for those things acclaimed by
the unenlightened public. They left college with something more than
a diploma and they left behind them a stronger tradition for. true
- learning and its attendant humanity. The students: however, who
~Struggle under a misconception of what the ivied walls of the college
stand for, go forth into the world, with comparatively empty heads,
and even more vacant hearts. They are all bluff—all sham—and the
world is quick to recognize and despise the intellectual snob whose
nose is elevated too high to catch the temper of the times. Nor do
our superior beings fool anyone in ‘college with all their blowing of
the trumpets of the mind. We are all deeply attached to our smoking-
room philosophers and philosophies, and we can understand and ab-
sorb their gentle teaching. But no one loves, and tio~one would be
caught dead absorbing the theory of a celestial fund of learning from
which the favored ones are equipped with a gamma ray in the intellect
that enables them to see through human superstitions.._Let these crea-
tures go off and dance their dances in the cloisters, and leave us our
stupid but pleasant life of appreciation of what goes om around us,
untroubled by any knowledge of human fallacies of taste, learning
and criticism. We are all human beings, and most of us, ineluding
our superior brand minds, love the simple things in this world, afid
epen our mouths in pain or praise at the same things. that attract or
“repell the outside world. Why don’t “we all admit it? Why must

.some of- us go along maintaining a pose that cannot be very comfort-.

able, and certainly isn’t very effective? Nothing is more appealing
than a_little whole-hearted enthusiasm, and a display of it has never

‘ yet stamped anyone as an idiot. We are not advocating a college of
Girl Scouts, all cheering every green thing to the sky, we merely sug-
gest that some of our cloistered friends stop bluffing, and applaud
when they feel like it, instead of holding themselves within the glassy
realm of reason from dawn till dark.

The great drama of reciprocity
amid the tender passions, Design For
Living, is to run until May 27, or
thirteen weeks longer, to be expan-
sive. There will be no road: tour,
nor will there be a London produé-
tion. The reasons for confining the
comedy to the limits of Manhattan
are obvious — imagine Philadelphia

Eva Le Gallienne has transplanted
her Civic Repertory group from
Fourteenth Street to the New Am-
sterdam and the venture has proved
highly successful. At present Alice
in Wonderland is the major drawing
card, but plans are under way to pro-
duce Chekov’s melancholy and moan-
ing requiem of a passing generation,
The Cherry Orchard, with Alla Nazi-
mova portraying Mme. Renavsky.
Miss Le Galliene will take the part
of Varya, Paul Leyssar that of Gaev,
and Josephine Hutchinson that of
Arya. The present plan is to open
this new effort in May, and alternate
it with the ever-prosperous Alice.

Victor McLaglen, the little man
from Hollywood, is contemplating a
return to Broadway in a new play,
entitled American Plan. The play
concerns _a-speakeasy and a®yery su-
perior bouncer, who can put art into

‘the most stereotyped job—just Mr.

McLaglen’s type. A great many of
the film’s celebrities are returning to
the stage for the time being: Tal-
lulah Bankhead, Charles Laughton
and even Nancy Carroll, who is hold-
ing forth up in New England in Pres-
ton Sturges’ new play, Child of Man-
hattan,

Just what is going on over in Lon-
don and in Switzerland where our
theatrical play-boys are cavorting is
a little vague. Peggy Wood, just
back from London to appears here in
Saturday Night, says Romney Brent.
(Sapiens from The Warrior’s Hus-
band) is in London writing a libretto
entitled Nymph Errant, which
Charles B. Cochran, the British king
bee producer, will put on. Last week
we asserted sturdily that Cole Porter
and Ray Goetz were working on a
play by that name high up in the
snows, and we still believe it: We
admit that last week we got a little
confused on one or two points, but
considering everything we have de-
cided that anyone running a theatre
column among the theatrigal wolves
of Bryn -Mawr runs a ¢ertain physi-
cal and mental risk, the strain of
which can only be borne by one pos-
sessed .of enormous, if unjustified,
confidence in oneself. Following this
line of defense we have survived
shakily through almost a season, and
we are hoping that our castles won’t
crumble at least till the weather’s
warmer. Therefore, in order to con-
ciliate conflicting repofts we suggest
that possibly Mr. Brent. in the fog,
and Mf. Porter and Mr. Goetz in
the snow, are co-operating on a sin-
‘gle masterpiece, of else that the won-
ders. of modern science have failed ~
and they know not of each other.
Any way you look at it, we’re right.

— parallel to the. diagnosis method of
even the best modern surgeons. No

measure of competence in later life.

It has been held that numerical
marks are the only ones that give the
student an accurate indication of her
professor’s opinion of her work. How.
ever, there are two disadvantages in-

failure to test certain intellectual
qualities, such “as imagination, origi-

MARKS NOT _ DROPPED





In Chapel Tuesday morning, Mrs.
Manning spoke on the numerical sys-
tem of marking, a discussion espe-
cially appropriate to the post-Mid-
year season. Last Fall the News ad-
vocated the abolition of numerical
marks, but little response was caus-.|
ed in the student body. Again at
Midyears the crowds around the bul-
letin-board were as large as ever and |
one was again made to feel that the
whole system should be changed.

A change could not be made, how-
ever, without getting down to funda-
mentals, for all organized education
is founded on a system of measure-
ment. Unorganized education, such
as that gained by reading at will in
a library, produces one-sided minds,
with no real control of the knowledge
gained. The differencé between an
educated and ignorant person is caus-
ed-by the system of measurement,
which gives “an understanding of the
limitations on one’s knowledge,”
without which there is no distinction
in one’s mind between the known and
the partially known.

In primary education,

Mrs. Sackville-West
Speaks in Bryn Mawr



> «Continued from Page One)

sixes and sevens with the world be-
cause he: could not decided what he
wanted.”

The Huxley introduction to his
Letters insists that he had a mes

sage, but he was too muddle-headed [

a philosopher to deliver it. He fail-
ed as a propagandist also because he
was apt to become shrill and strident.
There were conflicts in his philoso-
phy: he preached physical violence,
but loathed war; he wgs an individ-
ualist, but urged community life as
the ideal state. “That is why I al-
ways sigh when I come to a passage
showing him about to launch into a
tirade. The only message I have ever
found is. his real hostility toward
things of the mind. It was not
knowledge, but feeling and emotion
that he admired. He saw feeling as a

flow’ without any edges going from

one person to another.”

Lawrence’s outlook is shown by his
idealization of ancient peoples. The
Etruscans would probably have sur-
prised him by their lack of the idyl-
lie-if-he-had_ever known them; how
ever, there are lovely, lyrical pas-
sages in his Etruscan Places which
prove his gift for describing. land-
scape and climate in a visual and
tactile vein. Depth of feeling, not
conscious style, supplied him with
the right word. Although some criti-
cisms of poetry in his letters are
extremely acute, they are not couched
in the critical ‘jargon. “Literary—
no, Lawrence was never that. He
wrote as a bird might sing. On the
other hand—the bad sidé of the pic-
ture—when he was writing propa-
ganda, the critical faculty being lack-
ing, he ranted.” He was accustomed
to say, and this illustrates the atti-
tude of the inspired poet, “I don’t
know a thing if I don’t know it here,”
hitting himself on the solar plexus.

It is doubtful what he would have
accomplished if tuberculosis had not
carried him off at the age of forty,

whether he would have founded an
arcadian: colony or a flourishing
school of disciples. What smallj

amount of lucidity he possessed was
sapped by his illness. “It was a grea\
pity that he set up to be a thinker
at all. If he had been content to be
an artist, he would have avoided his
regrettable stridencies.”

The contrast between D. H. Law
rence and Virginia Woolf was more
definitely marked by Mrs. Sackville-
West because she was able to give a
very personal impression of the lat-
ter. It was said by someone who saw
Virginia Woolf at a concert that she
was “like a frozen falcon, so alert,
yet so still.” Although she is beauti.
ful, her beauty is not conventional,
rather “her face is like a transpar-
ent alabaster vase through which a
light shines.” She has great dignity
and distinction, but is gay and witty,
“a terrible tease, who loves to dig
people out of themselves, rather like
a corkscrew.”

Her writing she does in a cellar
with a leaky roof. Unliké most cel-
lars it contains the: overflow of a
printing house (the Hogarth Press).
as well as country produce (strings

of onions, apples and potatoes) from:|.

their cottage in the country. She,
herself, is constantly being edged
into a smaller space, which threaten-
ed to vanish not long ago. Mr. Leon-
ard Woolf, her husband, suggested
storing the family motor in her cel-
lar, at which she asked, “If you put
the motor in here, where am I to sit?”
“You can sit in the motor,” said he.
Miss Sackville-West’s comment was
that this © perhaps accounts for A
Room of One’s Own.

“Mrs. Woolf is the experimentalist
par excellence, never content to do
the same thing twice.”

to. write without consciousness of sex;
she quotes Coleridge in support of
it—‘a great mind,is always androgy-

man’ggworld of activity and the wom-

rather than impressionistic writing,
is her: contribution—feminine sens}

Of the divisions of her Jesbaioue,_
her use of the time factor is the!
most interesting. Mrs. Dalloway is
compressed into one day. To the
Lighthouse is divided into three. parts:
with different tempo in each part,
the variations being used to effect the:
feeling she wishes to evoke. Her use|
of the time factor is not a trick, but,
an organic part of each book, as -
Orlando, which occupies three hun. |
dred years. :

Unlike Lawrence, she is a con-;
scious and intellectual artist; noth=|
ing is left to chance. By now, hav-|
ing thrown away the traditional tools, |
she has forged new ones, and, again |
unlike Lawrence, she has a Sonnets |

one instance of lack of control at the |
end of Orlando, “but if she had gath.
ered the sprays together and assem- |
bled the loose ends, the book would,
have gained the needed clarity. Asa

work; she is always on the tight-rope |

shown. A favorite theme of Mrs.

These people are talented actors, sub-

an enthusiasm about them that shows
in every individual perférmance as
well as in the courage of the whole
venture. Not only do they-give ex-

formances, but they play exceedingly
well together. Their voices are beat-

Wigman movements of the gypsy,
the marvelously comic strides of the
villain and whosoever he was accom-

and bumpy gait of the rustic comedian
are examples enough of this. In a
word, it was a finished performance
that the Jitney Players showed, infi-
nitely more subtle than one might
have expected whon the curtain went

scene, and probably much more care-

even after the curtain had: fallen on
the last.

Some mention must be made of the

hinted, were the greatest success of
the evening. The first, “Man the

tire male ensemble of the company
and was so excruciatingly funny that
the last few verses could hardly be

Look at this remarkable lady... with three lovely and
perfect heads... all attached to a normal body. She
appears to sit on the stage, with the lower part of her
body concealed by flowers. She can wink, smile, and

nod. She can talk, laugh, and sing—all at the same:.«

time. Thousands of people have seen this feat of magic
and pronounced it a wonderful sight!

EXPLANATION :

Audiences used to pay an extra fee to go behind the
scenes to see how this trick was worked. They dis-
covered that the three-headed woman was merely a
reféttion in a mirror. The glass showed the heads of
three girls but the body of only one. The other two
were cleverly hidden so that only their heads showed
in the mirror.

t's fun to be fooled —
...its more tun to KNOW

- This “three-headed woman’”’ trick goes

’way back to the early days of magic.

Also old is the suggestion that pro-
tection for your throat and freedom from
coughing can be achieved through some
magic trick.

THE EXPLANATION: The easiest ciga-
rette on your throat is the cigarette that
is made from the choicest, ripe tobaccos.

Cheap, raw tobaccos are, as you

would naturally expect, harsh to the

throat. Ripe, costly tobaccos are mild,
mellow — gentle. The question is whether
a cigarette is made from cheap tobacco
or the more expensive grades.
= It is a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that
Camels are made from finer, MORE

EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other
popular brand.

American men and women have smoked
more billions of Camels than any other
brand because of the appeal of more ex-
pensive tobaccos and matchless blending.

Won’t you stack up your own experience
with a cigarette made from milder, cost-
lier tobaccos...against magic claims about
“cigarettes and your throat”?

Try fresh Camels—in the air-tight,
welded Humidor Pack that seals the
freshness and coolness, the mildness and
flavor of Camels...inside.
