“We want to stress the creative side of
May day,” Miss Palache went on, “to
set ourselves a higher ideal of historical

. accuracy than ever before.” . As Miss
Applebee says, “all the shoes and head-
dresses right.” It has been suggested
that the whole performance center more

on Queen Elizabeth,. who has always |

- been pretty much of a lay figure; that
for example it might reproduce her visit
to Oxford, and that she go about from
play to play. The plans also include hav-
ing more ,music and certain new fea-

“No one can say enough,” Miss Pal-

“With the organization sinotihed and

may hope to have a grand May day,”
Miss Palache concluded. We _ believe
that it will be a grand May day, and due
in no small measure to Miss Palache
herself.

. GANTRY,OPINIONS

Feeling ourselves incompetent to judge

Sinclair Lewis’ “preacher novel,” Elmer
Gantry, we decided to go to see the best
authorities, and called up’the Bryn Mawr
ministers to ask their opinions.
. We listened for it with fear and tremb-
ling—we knew that we would think about
Elmer Gantry, if we were a minister, and
we felt a vicarious sensitiveness about
hearing it. They shad just the opinions
we expected, too.

Dr. Carter of the Church of the Re-
deemer said that he had not read it, and
that as long as he had the Bib‘e, he did
not need it. :
“It is lying on my study table now,”
said Dr. Mutch, “and for all of me it will

_ continue to lie there. While I have not
read the book myself, I have had reviews
of it, and listened to the accounts and
opinions of others sufficiently to convince
myself that I do not in any way -agree
with the author.

Staff Member Sees
Man Walking Campus

When your agreeably harassed cor-
respondent. was hunting for news this
morning, she saw a young man on the
campus. Of course, we know this is
news in itself, but we are insatiable, we
wanted more. So she, or rather, we, ap-
proached him. “Would you mind,” we
said, for all the world as if we liked
doing it, “would you mind telling us
why you came. to—I mean, what you
think of Bryn Mawr?”

He looked at us wearily, (and indeed
it was a long way to look). “Bryn
Mawr,” he said,” is the first college |
have ever seen.” We stared in awe.

“IT have been very much interested in
everything I have seen and heard, par-
ticularly in your lasianes They seemed
to me fascinating.” We looked’ at him,
shed a tear and murthured, “Et ego m

simply. “Well,” said the young man, “!
think education is very important and
that here in Ameria you do a great deal
toward it.” “We tried to tell him that
we personally had done about 16 years
and he would not listen, We cast about
for a more interesting topic. We found
it.

Sport of Kings for :

Newhall and Pease
By F: DOHAN
The American School of Classical
Studies at Athens is an old friend of
3ryn Mawr College. The late Joseph
Clark Hoppin, for example, for many
years professor of archaeology at Bryn
Mawr, was a former sttdent of the
school and also in 1904-1905 its annual
director. He had helped to excavate the
Argive Heraeum, and used to enliven
his lectures at Bryn Mawr with many a
tale of his days of digging and travel-
ing in Greece.
But recently the ties which unite the
two institutions have become even closer.
Miss Dorothy Burr returned last year to
Bryn Mawr after two years of study at
the Athens School, where she had held

ALUMNA DISAGREES
WITH M. PEYRE

E. Walton Selects New Stars
for Performance of ‘‘Blayds”’

in New York.
PRAISES NATURALNESS

By E. WALTON, ’25

For the past three winters rumors have
been current in New York of a new
phenomenon at Bryn Mawr known
Varsitq Dramatics. Scouts, dispatched
by the anxious Alumnae, have brought
back reports which whetted rather than
satisfied curiosity. The necessity for a
first-hand judgment was indicated.

The









opportunity came last Saturday
sity Dramatic Association presented “The
Truth About ,Blayds,” by A. A. Milne,
for the benefit of the New York Alumnae
Scholarship Fund. The verdict returned
was favorable.

Not even ‘the most jaundiced young
Alumna, making critical comparison with
her memories of class plays, could fail to
admit that the performance was lightly
handled and entertaining,.that the acting
level of the cast was high, and the play
judicially chosen in spite of its prepon-
derance of middle-aged or wholly de-
crepit characters.

A curious situation exists in “The
Truth About Blayds.” The old poet, so
startlingly proved an impostor, is at the
heart of all the action, and yet he ap-
pears only for a scant fifteen minutes.
In that brief space, after a dramatically



as}

night at the Colony Club when the Var-f





prepared entrance, he must reveal his
quality to the audience.
M. Villard Too Pathetic

As Oliver Blayds, Marquita Villard
was frail and tremulous and deliberate,
‘She really created tlre illusion of an an-
cient Victorian whose rich memories are
pitiably near an end, but she seemed to
miss the chances for sly, impish humor
inherent in the part. Her Oliver Blayds
was not the gallant, shrewd imposter who
had the courage to keep his secret so
long. He.was merely. any hice old gen-

PROFESSORS ARE TOO TIMID,
SAYS UNKNOWN INSTRUCTOR

Fail to Resaiiikie to Example of
Students’ Dress in
"Class.

SAY IT ONLY IN SOCKS

The recognized inferiority of men in
sartorial matters is. nowadays a hack-
neyed topic for our journalists im search
of inspiration. We heard the other day
from a Paris newspaper correspondent
that the Gallic tailors are reviving eigh-
teenth century silk stockings and breeches
for the men whose anger is rotised when
they see—and cannot, at the risk of
hurting the pride of the displayer, pre-
tend not to see—legs much inferior in
figure and beauty to their own. But
in that réspect as in many others, the
most unfortunate of all male beings are
professors in a women’s college. How
fondly do they regret the old custom
of lecturing in an academic gown that
was enough to inpsire their listeners with
reverence. QOne of the most delicate and
harrowing problems for them is how to
dress. Students will arrive at their 8
o'clock lectures in once white tennis
shoes and woolen stockings, holding in
one hand a powder puff and concealing
with the other a half-eaten banana or
apple that will sustain them until the 11
o'clock. sandwich; the poor instructor,
while shaving has been meditating upon
the suit and the tie that will best fit the
weather and the subject he is going to
expound. He still: imagines—let him re-
jain his illusions—that all eyes will be
fyxed upon him and that the cut of ‘his
Clothes, the material of his tie and the
brushing of—his rebellious hair will be
commented upon—and who knows ?—
admired by students weary of counting
how many times an hour his pet phrases
and words recur.

Uniformity is certainly what charac-
te1izes the clothes of the men of the
Bryn Mawr faculty. Is it because so
many original minds know too well that
their garb could never reveal the best
that is in them? Or is strict conformity
our American ideal and do even our
elite suffer from what Meredith termed
“the malady of sameness, our modern
malady”? Sober color and high-brow
gravity of the cut is the rule. It is usu-
ally linked with the senator-like gait and
the slow, painstaking delivery of speech
which our meditative profession devel-
ops. Even Scotch humor, absent-minded
philosophy and passionate music con-
form, with only timid differences, to the
‘common standard,

Mr. Alfred Collins gave before the.

into the interior of Africa in 1925 in

The trip lay through Sista East
Africa, northward down Lages Tangan-

into the Belgian Congo.

overtake their lawful husbands and sweet-

MAYONNAISE AND MOZART

The Friday afternoon audience at
the Academy of Music has so long
been delighted by the sight of the
college solidly champing sandwiches
that we venture to make a sugges-
tion by which their pleasure might
even be increased. Could riot the
choice of sandwiches give some hint
as to the nature of, the program?
Thus there could be ham for Ham-
let, bacon for Beethoven, mayon-
naise for Mozart, while the works
of the moderns might be suggested
by a hard-boiled egg or a tender
bunch of spring onions. These are,
of course, only the rough outlines
of a scheme which, in the hands of
the imaginative, might rise to un-
dreamed of .heights. It seems a
shame that so prominent a feature
‘of the symphony should not ‘be
more closely connected with it. With

the co-operation of Rubens and
Stokowski anything seems possibte.





BRYN MAWR CRITICS

Bryn Mawr, among other things
for which she is justly famous, has
built up a high reputation for the
superior critical gifts of her
alumnae and undergraduates. Out-
siders may poke fun at us and refer
to our superciliousness but we all
know in our secret hearts that our
fame in this respect is a source of
pride to us. Now and again, how-
ever, as we watch enthusiatic and
open-minded freshmen changing
slowly to weary and disillusioned
_ seniors, we wonder whether certain’
dangers of the critical habit are
sufficiently recognized. That criti-
cism is easy has often been said;
that it may become a delicious form
of self-indulgence is not so fully
recognized. Yet what delight can
equal that of dissecting with a mer-
ciless scalpel the intellectual proc-
esses of our friends?” Or if one
possesses a little —— what}
pleasanter way o ssing a few
hours than in ‘howthe how certain
efforts of our pit might have
been made of more avail?

Now that the criticism of existing
educational institutions has become
the fashion for old and young, the
danger of over-indulgence in our
favorite Bryn Mawr sport has in-
creased. The faults of all known
systems of education are so obvious '
and so easy to enumerate that even
the most youthful intelligence can
thus find recreation. How much
easier and pleasanter to sharpen the

wits and make nimble the mind by
showing up the educators than b

attacking the vast stores of ill-

assorted knowledge that load the
library shelves. Mental alertness is

He had a little -way
Of knowing he was always right ;

tleman.....Moreover, Miss Villard made
him consistently too pathetic, thereby
weakening the effect of the climax when
Blayds finally breaks down, a child afraid
of the dark.

A more clear-cut and consistent per-
formance was given by Annabel Learned.
As Isobel, who sacrifices -her—youth—to
an illusion, she could have been. both
melodramatic and sentimental. She was
neither. Although rather hesitant in the
first act she improved steadily. Her
revelation of the “truth about Blayds”
and her sudden flare of protest against
the years she has wasted were un-
affectedly moving. She played the part
simply, naturally and sympathetically,
with neat little touches of humor, which
enabled her to carry off even the final
scene. Because she kept so perfectly in
charactef one- forgot that Miss Learned
did not preisely look the part of an aging
woman.

&-

Septiva Most Finished

Perhaps the most finished bit of act-
ing, technically, was done by Margaret
Barker as Septima. It seems deceptively
easy to impersonate a boyish flapper. It
is not, as one can learn on Broadway.
Miss Barker’s performance was crisp and
easy. Thoroughly at home on the stage
(and a cramped‘ one it was) she was
excellent even in her by-play, that pit-
fall of amateurs. Moreover, she had the
advantage of looking the part completely.

This advantage, of course, the three
men did not share. As the young Oliver,
Katherine Hepburn was a trifle amateur-
ish, a bit too conscious that she was on
the stage, but she made an engaging boy,
roguish and merry. Alice Whiting coped
rather creditably with the “straight” part
of A. L. Royce, into which only an ex-
perienced actor could have put color.
Although monotonous at times, she was
neither stilted nor awkward. Elizabeth
Stewart ‘was less successful as Wilfiam
Blayds Conway. She fell into the, pitfall
of overacting, and her performance was
labelled too obviously, “comic relief.”

Finally, in addition to. Marion Park as
a deft maid, there was Elinor Latané,
who achieved the incredible by looking
midle-aged. _ In a quiet, inconspicuous
fashion she did a good piece of acting as
the muddle-headed Mrs. Conway .and
contributed no little to the naturalness of
the family discussions.

Great Naturalness

It_was naturalness and unpretentious-

W. B. Pillsbury
The Essentials of Psychology.

Dr. W. B. Pillsbury’s The Essentials of
Psychology is undoubtedly the striking
book of the year (1911. In a_ frank,
yet gentle, manner it sets forth the
facts of life from the point of view of
the psychologist. Cerebrum, cerebel-
lum, spinal cord, neurone—nothing is

slurred over and yet nothing is. ex- |

pressed in such a way as to offend the
most exquisite.

The key sentence may be found in
the first chapter. “Mind is the word
that designates the entire series of
conscious states of an individual from
birth to death.” Generations of stu-
dents and scholars, pondering over this
again and again, will each time be in-
spired by its clarity and its finality to
renew their efforts. Each time they
will have added one more conscious
state to the total which is mind, It
is, of course, impossible for Dr. Pills-
bury to maintain this high level, and
he occasionally lapses into dullness.
But even the dull passages are en-
livened by little drawings. In con-
nection with many of these, the imagi-
nation (to be distinguished from the

memory and the reason) never. tires of ||

inventing new meanings for the desig-
nations given. What do you make of
SS., DS., SpC. and PA.? Do you see
a duck’s head or a rabbit’s?

And so the time passes until we
come to the end of the book, and are
introduced to the idea of the unity,
continuity, amd consistency of the self.
Again Dr. Pillsbury climbs to a high
level. What if few can follow? Those
who can will achieve the greatest that
in them lies—a budding of the inner
self, so to speak, and a matted into
self-consciousness. : . .

‘4 All Medieval Life
Death overshadows the whole of Medi-
“Qui est homo qui vivet, et,
mon videbit mortem, eruet anima’ suam
de manu inferni?” Though ‘it may
sound like a contradiction, medieval life
finds its most characteristic expression in
the Dance of Death with humanity, with
emporer, jester, monk and maiden, That
was the subject of pageants in the
churches; of inntimerable works or art,
in literature, miniature. painting, etc.
Most famous are probably the mural
paintings at Lubech and the spirited
woed cuts by Holbein
It is the latter that furnished the in-
spiration for a pageant arranged and di-
rected by G. Prokosch; and- which a
group of* students will produce in the
monastic atmosphere of the: cloisters.
Rather than a literal reconstruction of
the rite, it is a fantasy on the ancient
theme, an embodiment of the spirit of
religious awe, sublimé terror, grotesque
humor, magnificence and wistfulness.

*

he remaining numbers on the pro-
gram carry on this attempted return. to
the primative purposfulness of the dance.
Perhaps the most interesting” are an
Indian ceremonial, for which Miss Pro-
kosch received instruction from the true
American Indians; anda dance on the
duty of modern life—the mechanic.

‘The pageant will be®presented on the
evening of May 6, or if it rains, the 7th.

Petite Polish Perdita

This is a true tale. It is also a most

“moral one, afd lest the moral get lost

in the intricacies of the telling, it may
be besggto put it boldly first. The con-
‘clusion of the whole matter is that the
ability to read French and German at
sight may lead to. both diversion and
complication in one’s life; if you want

~' the diversion at all costs, keep on with

‘Extra-Curricular German; if’ you
dread the complication, stop now. The
moral+is there in either case.

The Heroine Appears

» * certain member of the Faculty

and Staff of Bryn Mawr College (who
reads French and German at sight—
and no more) hurried into the Penn-
sylvania_ Station one Sunday evening
bound for the 7.00, train for Philadel-
phia, saw, with delight ‘an express
- marked 6.55, boatded it and sank into
a seat in front of an unobtrusive but
devoted young man and his unobtru-
sively pretty young wife. To them
there came a large and pantin® person
who said: “Will you see that this girl
don’t get off before Broad Street?” and
left precipitately. The innocent and
somewhat. weary occupant of the seat
ahead heard. this remark, but thought
nothing of it as the train jerked and
gathered speed and roared under the
river.

What Do They Drink?

About an hour later the young man
went to fetch his wife some water. As
he passed her the fragile cup, there
burst upon’ his ear a veritable erup-
tion of guttural sounds—there beside
him was Little Miss Polish, evidently
the* girl confided to his care. He
looked at his wife, completely at a

- loss; the interested eavesdropper, who

had caught a vague similarity to “Was
gibt’s” and “Kaffee,” explained, “She
warfts to know what you are drink-
ing,” and sank back, duty done. He
fetched water for her, only to be re-
warded by another cascade of gut-
turals. Six eyes turned at once for
help to the misguided rescuer of the
moment before. She had heard
“schmeissen” and guessed, “She asks
‘shall she throw away the cup?’.” Re-
lief—gmiles— Little Miss Polish, ‘in
great glee over her triumphant efforts,
returned to her place, and the weary
wanderer from Bryn Mawr’s peace
settled hopefully in the corner. Not
so the pair behind; they exclaimed,
speculated, prophesied—how terrible to
understand no English, suppose she
got lost, was anyone meeting her, sup-
pose the wrong person got hold - of
her. Finally they beckoned to
her to occupy the vacant seat in front
of them. Little Miss Polish (or was
she Czech?) misunderstood, gathered

,» up her woven hamper and her boxes,,

trundled up to the front of the car
where she could get off at a moment’s
notice, and sat on the edge of a half-
seat riding backwards to keep an eye
on hér protector.

She Pops the Question

Then there. was upheaval the
minds of both—young things. - They
were going to North Philadelphia—
who could say what she might do
after ,that? They appealed to the
shrinking heroine of their two encount-
ers; she suggested that the conductor
was usually perfectly adequate in such
situations, but since she stayed on till
West, she would see that their ward
stayed on there. Then the barriers
broke—they talked at length about
what might happen; the trapped third
guardian, thinking that the poor inno-
cents would lose a night’s sleep over
her, offered to ask her where she was
going and who was meeting her.

in

At least Yen minutes’ reflection was
necessary tg put together the neces-
sary words; the verb forms were un-
doultedly quer, but apparently intelli-
gible; a streamk of delighted explana-
tion flowed forth, fortunately accom-
panied by a scrap of paper with “H.
Silver—9.38—Broad\ Street.” She was
on the wrong train{\ North Philadel-
‘phia was near—the Sworn interloper
discreetly assured the two distracted
- guardians that “she” was being met
and saw them depart in smiling relief.








She found the conductor, explained to}

him the facts of the case, left the train
at West after assuring L. M. P. that
“noch vier minuten” were to pass be-

man’s skin next as an honor he begged
to be let off and: promised generously to
supply them with his brother’s skin when
the expedition returned to thie ‘coast.

One of the most dangerous animals to
be met with is the buffalo. Mr. Collins
showed a picture of one which he killed
in the forest. On,one sion the party
was charged by a hifppopotamus. A
factor to be reckoned with is the man-
eating lion. :

In Africa an elephant has a sense of |

humor. Mr. Collins chased one through
the forest to the edge of a stream, which
looked to Mr.° Collins like a mistaken
move on the elephant’s part; but not at
all. The elephant walked across on the
bottom of the river with just the end
of his trunk above water for air, de-
priving the hunter of the easy shot he
had hoped to have. If the elephant could
have restrained his curiosity instead of
returning throught the underbrush on the
other side of the stream to see what Mr.
Collins was up to he might now be
alive in Africa, instead of being: in a
museum, stuffed, for the delight’ of
children. is

A single tusk of his weighed 90
pounds. His flesh provided great feasts
for the natives, It todk 12 men’ to
carry the ‘skin of his head. Constant
daily paring down of this hide reduced
it to the place where it could be lugged
by only four men.

‘The people of Central Africa are a
fine lot physically, according to Mr. Col-
lins, strong and beautifully built. Most
of them are enterprising, but the tribes
around Lake Edward are a worthless lot.
The explanation seems to be that food is
too easy to get. The waters are so
crowded with fish that an_ inverted
wicker basket thrust into the lake always
catches at the very least one fish, which
the native pulls out with his hand through
the top of the basket.

The curse of the district is sleeping
sickness. In one inadequate hospital the
Belgian Government cares for a few
hundred cases. Thousands are sick with
the disease in the regions all around the
hospital, but there is no help for them.
A white man contracting the disease can
only hurry out of the countr¥ with all
speed, if he hopes for any adequate medi-
cal treatment. , :

In the eastern part of the Belgian
Congo, where he had planned to hunt
gorillas, Mr. Collins found that a gorilla
preserve had been established. There
was nothing to do but go elsewhere. Ru-
mors came of the beasts off to the west,
and finally with sufficient proof to cause
him to suppose he might really find an
animal or two (gorillas are rare) he
went off on an added three months’ trip
through the jungle.

On the way west he came into the

The ordinary daily routine hunting is
done by the women while the men sit
importantly smoking at home. They live
in grass houses of a size proportioned to
their own smallness. Their food Seems
to be wild celery, fruits, nuts, birds,
small game and snakes. bd

Several of the pygmies- wore around
their waists, belts of a soft brown fur
striped in places with white. Investiga-
tion showed this to be the fur af a very
rare animal called the okap}. * Mr. “Col-
lins procured a picture of one. Ap-
parently none has ever been killed by a
white man. .

The expedition finally came to the
land of the gorilla, part of the country
into which no white man had ever pene-
dinarily afraid of the animals. Mr.
place, a platform to which the gorilla
would climb and sun and-dry himself
from time to time. The rest of his life is
spent not in trees, but on the ground.

One great creature tracked the party
(it was a mutual hunt) for three days,
bursting through the underbrush - but
never coming into «sight. The men an-
noyed him excessively. . When he could
bear it no.longer he lunged into their
path and was killed. He was an im-
mense object, his weight 350 pounds, -his
chest girth 63 inches and his arm span
93 inches. Beside him: a man looked
small and a chimpanzee infinitesimal.
His portrait, photographed by Mr. Col-
lins, showed a magnified face human
enough and ugly enough to strike terror
into any heart, native African-or Anglo-
Saxon. With his capture the hunt ended.

There remains Josephine—a small in-
quisitive and amiable chimpanzee adopted
as a daughter by the entire expedition.
When Mr. Collins gave her an experti-
mental ride in the bamboo chair in which
he was carried she liked it so well that
from that time on she rode and Mr.
Collins walked. *

She attracted great attention at all vil-
lages, the natives often following her
along for several miles in the morning.

room showed Josephine in a fury at her
apparently deserted state with chaos

Spencer ‘Wrong About Mus‘c

Spencer called evolution a “progress
from’ indefinite, incoherent: homoge-
delinite, coherent hetéroge-
neity,” but if he could have heard some
vi the latest output of masterpieces to
which audiences in Boston, New York
and Philadelphia have been treated
within the last seven days he would
surely, have had to make several word
transpos‘tions in his definition as ap-
plied to music,

Qne rich field which the ultra-mod-
ernists have still apparently left en-
tirely unexplored is that of the Animal
Kingdom. .Think of the enormous
possibilities in such themes as “Im-
pressions of the Bronx Zoo” or a sym-
phonic Idyll entitled “A Day in the
Life of a Potato-Bug.” What endless
opportunities for quarter-, eighth- and
sixteenth-tones!

Music, since the “Church period,”
extending up to the sixteenth century,
has gone through many phases. First
the period which we, at this distance,
now call the Classical (although we
sometimes forget that it ‘was at one
time tHe Modern), then the Romantic
followed by the Impressionistic and,
during the last twenty years or S90; 2
mixture of the satiric, the grotesque |.
and the realistic, the metaphysical and
the mystical. Now we seem to-be in
the midst of an orgy of the material-
istic, a very different matter from any
of- the others.

Like “Ulysses”

The Realistic has been described as

a “passion for truth leading to the

with-life,” but hand in hand with this
‘goes apparently a “relaxation of the
selectivé. faculty” which allows the

.stran seems to~ much modern literature) t® transfer
to notes or words all kinds of simul-
‘taneous or rapidly succeeding percep-
Ptions of not “only --his subject matter,
but vof comparisong with dissimilar
ideas, metaphors, analogies, memories,
and different sense-perceptions called
up by the subject in question through
association, This theory of Jean Ep-
ste'n’s would appear to apply to a good
deal of motlern music and such writ-
ings*as for instance Joyee’s “Ulysses.”

The Grotesque ‘seems always to have
nterested composers to sone extent,
bu. .was most fully illustrated by the
phase which took possession of the
freych Group of Six in the early nine-
teen-twenties. ' The same enthusiasm
for this phase was seen in children’s
toys, the. Flapper dolls, in the wax
ligures in shop windows, in the Movies
and in stage scenery.. Now we have an
apparent combination of these phases
combined with that of an intense ma-
terialism and preoccupation with the

Library Statistics
The library is gradually approaching
the 115,000 volume mark, It may be of
general interest to note certain statistics
from its growth of the past year,.
During the fiscal year, 1925-26, $7,-
454.91 were expended for the purchase of
books, $3,430.35 for periodicals, and
$1,86239 for binding.“ The library is
richer by 4353 volumes—3090 by pur-
chase and 1263 by gift and exchange. Of
this number, 1579 belong in class 800,
which is literature; 667 belong in class
900, which covers biography, history and
travel, and the 500 class, which is science,
comes third with 614,
