Excavations in Asia
~ Minor Are Described
Orientalist. Shows Moving and
Stereopticon Pictures of
Anatolia.
LOCATE NOMAD REMAINS
On Tuesday, April 14, 1931; Dr. Von
der Osten, of the Oriental Institute,
explorer and excavator, spoke in Good-
hart Hall on the’ subject of* the_exca-
vations in Hittite, Asia Minor, in which
he has collaborated during the past
four-or five years. The greater part
of the lecture was accompanied by
moving pictures of the archaeologist’s
camp, of their finds and, principally, of
the excavating and excavations them-
selves. In introduction, a chart giving
the age and depth of the settlements
uncovered was shown. At the close,
stereopticon pictures of typical exam
ples of pottery of neolithic to modern
times were thrown on the screen.
Dr. Von der Osten, who is German,
_ spoke in English~véry well but with
"some accent and slowly (especially dur-
ing the not infrequent pauses resulting
-froim trouble with the stereopticon and
moving pictures).
Asia Minor, Dr. Von der Osten
-began by explaifiing, is a bridge con-
necting the Mediterranean with the
Far—East...Through—it-many~ people
have come from the North traveling
eastwards. All of them have left re-
mains. Mounds of the deposits of
many settlements are to be found. In
these mounds years are measured by
fractions of inches.
The mounds. which Dr. Von der
Osten excavated are in Anatolia, The
remains of the most recent séttlements,
modern Armenian, Turkish, Seljuk,
Byzantine and Roman, are easily dis-
tinguished. The remains just below
these (200-700 B. C.) are of settlements
on three different sites. This compli-
cates considerably the ascertaining of
dates. Constant checking and _ re-
checking of specimens from different
parts of the excavations is necessary.
The specimens consist mostly of pot-
tery, although a-few pieces of jewelry
and some neolithic wooden implements
have been found. Common examples
of pottery are the big jars in which
the dead were put for burial. In order
that all pottery may be ascribed to its
proper period the excavations are kept
very neat. At the end of each day’s
work every fragment is removed to
leave the field clear for the next -day’s
work. From fragments, with infinite
patience, original ‘vessels are recon-
structed. The Turkish government has
allowed the expedition a very fair share
of its finds.
The remains of from 1600-1200 B. C.
are those of the New Hittite Empire.
These are the earliest Iron Age re-
mains. Below them lie what is left of

In. 1922 the Alumnae Association of
Bryn Mawr College raised $25,000 in
This sum was to be held in trust and
the interest was to be ‘awarded at in-
tervals as'a prize of $5000 to an Ameri-
can woman who “has achieved emi-
nently” and who “has opened the way
to a fuller life forall women.”
The prize. was first awarded in June,
1922, to M. Catey Thomas, Ph.D.,
LL.D., L.H.D., Dean of Bryn’ Mawr
College from 1884 to. 1894 and Presi-
1922,
This year the prize is being awarded
for the second time to Jane Addams.
Miss Addams lived and went to college
in the Middle West. She began work-
ing among the poor of Chicago and
with a small house started the settle-
ment that has since grown to be Hull
House. She formed bonds not only
with the people for’ whom she was
working, but also with the most in-
teresting people in Chicago. She
underwrote, at great cost to herself,
racy in days when theholding of such
ideas caused an unpleasantness which

‘On the committee in charge of the
award are: Miss Cecilia Beaux, ‘Mrs.

SHOW IS AMATEURISH
Sir Philip Ben Greet’s theory that
“the stage should stimulate and in-
spire rather than relieve the imagina-
tion” has been a password to his many
successful performances of Shakespeare
in England and America. Whether the
average Bryn Mawr student’s imagi-
nation is incapable of stimulation or
whether we all look for relief on the
stage late Friday night is a question,
‘but certainly “Twelfth Night” did not
meet with the enthusiasm which Sir
Philip’s productions are wont to in-
spire.
_ One set of drapes, several arrange-
ments of a few simple benches and.a
table sufficed for the scenery through-
out the play, which enabled the audi-
ences to give its entire attention to the
lines. The strongest side of the Ben
Greet players was their extraordinary
ability in the art of speaking. Their
diction ‘and inflection was such as to
satisfy the most exacting taste.
There really was no. exception to. the
proficiency in the art of speaking. in
the Ben Greet players, and, as is true
of most English companies, the minor
supporting. parts were admirably taken.
For that matter the principal roles
were exceedingly well enacted with one
exception. Unfortufiately the unosten-
tatious scenery threw so much respon-
sibility on the players that there was
bound to be a disclosffre of the weak
spot in the cast. -Still more unfortu-
nately, this weakness was concentrated

‘VIEWS IMPERIALISTIC
Randolph Churchill, son of Winston
Churchill,
the Exchequer of England, told his
opinion on the British Empire and
World Peace, Monday evening, April
13, at the Library in Bryn Mawr. He
is nineteen years old, fair-haired with
blue eyes, and spoke with the colorful
rhetoric and manners of his father.
Using picturesque phrases. and apt
American slang from start to finish his
reasoning followed the Churchill im-
perialist lines. As a Conservative. his
speech was filled - with invectives
against the present ruling powers with
slashing ‘criticism of disarmament and
“that sort of thing.” His strongest
point was the necessity of navies in
order. to defend ourselves and maintain
world peace in the future as we have
certainly done many times in the past.
When“ he was asked. what place
women had in politics, his answer was,
“They have yet to prove their com-
petence. Joair of Arc was the only
woinan who. ever proved _ herself
capable of leading men, and she was a
fanatic.. A woman's: influence is in-
direct. As soon as she loses her charm
by an attempt to become yasculine,
she loses her power.”

Last week-end, April 18 and 19, rep-
résentatives from the undergraduate
bodies of Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount
Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar and
Wellesley gathered in New York at the
invitation of Barnard to discuss how
undergraduates might further the work
of the Alumnag Committee of Seven

Miss Harriet Moore, from Bryn Mawr;
Miss Frances Freeman and Miss Aimee

trustees, the undergraduate delegates,
and the members of the Alumnae Com-
mittee were entertained at luncheon at
Barnard. In the afternoon all attended
Greek games, the classic festival Bar-

the College Parlour, Barnard Hall, -at
which Mrs. William—Franklin_Eastman,
Chairman of the Committee, talked to
the girls on how they might help the
cause for which the committee was
of Radcliffe.
“In all the work the Alumnae Com-
mittee has planned,” Mrs. Eastman
said, “no part of it has yet related to
the student body in the colleges. This
committee was fownded by the presi-
dents to bring the attention of the pub-
lic to the needs and achievements of
the women’s colleges in order that
more generous endowment might flow
from that, public into the coffers of the
women’s colleges. Alumnae have ar
important place in this appeal, for our
presidents have said that if only every
graduate would remember, when she
makes her will, that she-is a graduate,
her alma mater would eventually have
plenty of money.. The place to begin

SPEAKING IS INFORMAL
Py
On Thursday; April 16, 1931, Bryn
Mawr “began her maiden voyage: (as
far as we know) on the seas of debat-
ing. Two members of Mr. McKean’s
class in Public’ Speaking and Debate
faced an equal number of opponents
from. Haverford .College -across~™ the
platform: of none other than our own
dear Room F in Taylor. But if the
battlefield was worthy the marshalling
of such a splendid army, the cause was
even more so, for, by concerning the
position of women today, it touched
vitally upon the question of college (in
which we are, or have been at some
time, interested). And_ that, gentle
readers, was. what started it all, and
brought peace-loving Miss Clews and
Miss Peterson out of their lairs to
bristle at Mr. Grasimer and Mr. Rudge.
Not that Miss Clews and Miss Peter-
son. bristted. Oh, no, we would not
hate you think that Rather, ‘Miss
haps_because-of-their size, possibly in.
imitation: of a -war-horse’s battle snort.
And their opponents purred back.
Even..the audience, gathered in artici-
pation of amicable combat, joined in
the good, clean purr. When all the
purring was over, Mr. McKean an-
nounced the subject. Resolved: that
the emergence of -woman from the _
home is a depressing feature of mod-
ern life. Bryn Mawr, he said, would
take the negative. But that, of course,
was to be expected, Miss Clews and
Miss Peterson both being true daugh-
ters of their Alma Mater. There
seemed, however, to have been a slight
mistake as to. the subject, as Mr.
Grasimer observed upon commencing
fire. We thought at first that he must
be referring to the fact that he and his
colleague had also taken the wrong
side, for he began with an approval of
woman’s emergence from the home.
We soon diseevered, however, that it
was all a snare and a delusion, a sub- ©
rtle._ device to entrap the young., For
when. N . Grasimer thought hds.had
gone far ‘enough into the negative, he
bégan to recede like a crab, and hav-
ling retraced his steps to the zero point,
then went on into the affirmative side, -
thus covering a lot of ground, and most
of it-his opponents’. In other words,
cases even the necessity, of woman's
emérgence from the home into artis-
tic and commercial fields, Mr. Grasi-
mer, and later Mr. Rudge, went on to
say that influence exerted
from the home was an ,even greater

No Bloodshed |
Spain has just achieved a revolution with amazing simplicity. The
‘change-is even more_significant..when_ the confusion and bloodshed_ of
former revolutions. are remembered. Returns from municipal elections
last week showed an overwhelming Spanish desire for a Republic, and in
three days that Republic was a fact. Immediately the king of a country
which has never hesitated to insure its autherity by the use of force,
_-acquiesced-in-the- wishes of the-majority—of-his stibjectsand abdicated.
He did not try to cling to his position since it would inevitably lead to
bloodshed. * ced
King Alfonso’s action is a splendid example of a tradition of
democracy which has ceased to exist among many nominal democrats. | :
He made the will of the people his guide, and though hoping for a change
in that will at the summer elections, he is waiting until it is expressed.
He has proved that peace means more to him than his own advantage. |
At a time when the maintenance of international peace is one of the most
difficult _problems_to_be solved by nations, his. abdication and its results
are very real evidence that individual sacrifices are essential and powerful
agents in its accomplishment. ‘ .
The fall of the Spanish throne leaves only twelve important mon-
archies still in existence. In spite of many, recent predictions that
monarchy is about to enter a new era of strength, a populous country has
” proved that democracy still holds attractions.
Whither, Whither, or After Yale What?
Last month the Yale News published a sensational statement, con-
cerning the hitherto hidden facts of the life of the Bryn Mawr student.
“Men, long thought (by all except the students themselves) to be the
objects of scant interest at Bryn, Mawr, have been proved the power
behind the pointer in the final tests of our eminent and extremely inquisi-
tive Psychology department. Alas, we have been found out; we are
supposed to live the life of pure intellectuality but could the word “His-
__tory” move the pointer? _We bow our heads in shame: Our inner life
is no longer inner, and our secrets are out. It’s about time, is Our COMm-
ment. 3 ‘
We quote the Yale News:

“There seems to be a certain undeniable consistency with which Yale
dominates intercollegiate circles. Whether it be in the realm of athletics,
scholarship, architecture, wealth, fame or even notoriety, there is old Eli

‘on the heels of hockey, swimming, the Glee Club’s well-dressed Honor-
able Mention, and a few noteworthy donations from retiring alumni,
comes still another conquest.
“It appears that some time ago the Bryn Mawr'’autthorities, possibly
unable to contain themselves for curiosity, installed some complicated
psychological apparatus, with a galvanometer to register the reactions of

that, since the Big Three had been striving for superiority in one way or
another for so many years, they would give them one final test to settle
the question for all future*generations. _ And so they hooked up the
machinery, attached it to their students, and the great match was on, one
of the first, we might add, in which Harvard and Princeton have competed
.since friendly relations were resumed. ©
“First they shouted : ‘Harvard!’ Whee! went the galvanometer, and

last week that there would be no News

telephoned us that all the copy for the

the trick of dummying up a- paper
without material, but the question of
the lost advertisements was more har-

relieved and still excited by our near

“No copy!” cried the printer, though

“Copy!” echoed the booth to us stag-
gering within.
“We've lost the whole business, both
copy and ads.”
So we hied to the smoker and lit some

time, we are going to take advantage of
you just now and give you an idea of:
what a Cottece NewS looked like in those’
days. It measured 16 by 11 inches, as

which only covered 1114 by 9 inches of
paper. There were fewer. outside lectures

consequently fewer fengthy _ write-ups,

wish to add that the present size of the

umn masthead and editorials were not in-
troduced until 1930.

Wyndham has begun, on a modest
scale it is true, to raise something to
take the place of our Tuesday night
meat (oh! so that’s what it was).
Those of us who have seen the kind
of vegetation Wyndham’s lamb eats
sometimes wonder what we would gain
by such a change. We are develop-

Death ‘ es a Holiday, with Philip
Merivale, played for two years in New
York. It would seem that audiences
turn almost with relief to a play, ob-
viously not a farce nor a tragedy but a
fantasy, by a modern Italian, Alberto
Casella. Death, “weary of the. fear with
which men always greeted him; curious
to learn what men always found in life
which made them cling to it so desper-
ately, and shrink in terror when he
plucked their sleeves,” makes himself
visible to Duke Lambert and announces
A blush and
that he shall come as his guest for three’
days. He arrives as Prince Sirki and
begins to search for human experiences,
most of all to try falling in love. Such
an extraordinary plot provides plenty of
material for irony and wit. The audi-
ence is easily persuaded to take things
as conceptions or type. ideas and personi- ,

Errors, or Menechmi. in Platus, ‘but
most like and near to that in Italian
called Iganni. A good practice in it
to make the steward believe: his lady
widow was in love with him, by coun-
terfeiting a letter, as from his lady in
general terms, telling him what she.
liked best in him and prescribing his
gesture smiling, his apparel, etc., and
then when he came to practice, making
him believe they took him to be mad.”
(Harleian MSS No. :5353, now in the
British Museum.)
For all of: the Shakespearean ‘plays
presented by the Ben Greet Players the
stage is set as far as practicable to in-
dicate the simplicity of the theatre of
Shakespeare’s life time. The plays are
acted in a manner approximating ‘that
of the Elizabethan period, with such
modern modifications as may be neces-
sary. However, the .purpose of Ben
Greet is not merely to reproduce dra-
_.matic..conditions under which Shakes-
peare worked, but to present the plays
as they were written.

Wide Educational Field
for Women in Museums
On Thursday, April 16, in the Com-
_mon Room, Mrs. Roberta Murray
Fansler, of the class of 1924, Bryn
Mawr, spoke on opportunities for
women in museum work. Mrs. Fans-
ler is at present working in the Metro-
politan Museum of ‘Art, New York. |
In the curatorial department of .any
museum there is ‘more time spent in
research or sfidependent work than in
the other two. The publicity de
ment offérs little future or opportunity
for original writing, but it is an ex-
cellent training in the technicalities of
journalism. The educational is the
largest and has the most vacancies.
An instructor in this department
spends his time in teaching children’s
classes . from schools, appointment
with individuals ‘for-the. explanation
museum articles, extemporaneous “gal-
lery talks” and to a lesser al
‘| wheels .. .
fof the department iin which you re
interested and be especially concerned
with ome: particular. phase. of the work.
Mrs. 'Fansler offered ‘her help to any-
one “ititerested “in. ‘the ‘ Metropolitan’
Museum. *
Drive Yourself in Europe
For the traveler with ideas of his
‘@wn about what he wants to see and
-do*in Europe and a penchant’ for ‘wah-
dering ‘into ‘the little ‘known parts ‘of
England and the Continent, a car id
his modus operandi.
“The ‘roads in Europe are for the
most part excellent—they are well
marked and mu¢h ‘less traveled than
our own. Europe is threaded with
long stretches of clear poplar‘lined
roads that run ‘for miles. None: but
the ‘largest cities offer any problems}.
} to, the motorist. “Guide books and road
maps gre. usually explicit . . . one séries
of books having plans of nearly ‘every’
city and town in Europe with direc-
tions as to the easiest means of tra-
versing them. In England the auto-f
mobile clubs have mien stationed every
few: miles to assist: theirimembers. :In-
cidentally driving on ‘the left in Eng-
land with the force of example alf
‘aboutone, becomes second nature in
a ‘few, moments.
The traveler by car has his taxis in
the cities and in between his car is his
o
‘|.passport to the .many places usual
means of travel can’t reach . . . for in-
stance, the famous and beautiful Cha-
teaux of the Loire Valley in France
can only be visited on foot or ‘on
the Pyrennees are only
mountains separating France and Italy
until one has motored through them
. there’s a road in Spain that wan-
ilers along a cliff-side from San Sebas-
_|tian to the Atlantic where no other
ameans. of travel- exists .-...-Italian—hill
towns between Rome and inrehee are
the motorist’s exclusive paradise...
and except for the traveler with an in-
‘| definite period of time at his disposal
the charming countrysides of England
and Germany with their multitude of
charming towns can only be experi-
enced by car.
European countries have collaborated
so that cars rented-in one country may
be taken into ahy other without the
‘former burdensome necessity of leav-
ing a cash deposit at each frontier.
Now a paper called a Carnet de Pasage
en douane is recognized in lieu of de-
posit. The traveler with an American
driving license has no difficulty in ob-
taining a foreign license at a small cost.
A French driving license is good for-
ever... andan English one can even
be obtained before leaving this country.
The surprising thing is that motor-
ing abroad when one drives himself
costs little or no more than usual
modes of transportation. Here’s a
typical example:
Rent of car for one month allow-
ing unlimited mileage and full

Living expenses including room and

upon the class of hotels used.
Therefore total motoring cost in-
cluding all living expenses would be:
For two each, $7-8 per day; for three
each, $6-7 per day; for four each, $5-6
per day.

‘Cantenary ‘Celebration
Haverford College devoted last Sat-
‘furday to the Pre-Centenary celebra«
iftion, -held in, preparation for the Cen-
¥tenary jubilee in two years.
The high
point, of the day was the Convocation,
ceremony at which Dr, Coxifort,
}Haverford; President A. Lawrence
Lowell, of Harvard, and President
Thomas S. Gates, of Pennsylvania,
were speakers. The speeches dealt
mainly with the present educational
-dystém in America and ‘its relation to
Haverford’s new program of activity,
Dr. ‘Corifort pointed out Haverford’s
emiphasis on quality in education, and
outlined ‘the Centenary program which
is planned to develop scholarly ‘inter-
able; ‘ambitious, well-balanced, and have
some idea of. what they want. All stu-
dents are to ‘be treated as potential
Honors men, and all required studies
but English are to ‘be eliminated:
Physical requirements. are. tobe. in-
¢reased and greater insistence laid on
‘the inculcation of:spiritual values.
President Gates ‘favored the small
college, and.praised Haverford’s early
inauguration of,its Centenary, program
as “symbolic ofthe forethought that
must characterize all institutions which
have the courageous leadership to. fol-
low their highest..ideals.” President
Lowell, ‘speaking on “Higher .Educa+
tion in America. Today,” stated that
the most difficult question facing .mod-
ern educators is how. to.induce under-
graduates to-take their! education: seri-
ously. He would -not eliminate ath-
letics and journalism from the campus,
but lead the student to develop initia-
his-own--way, toward an. accomplish-
ment of his own.
saat Many._of the visitors on—Pre-Cen=
tenary Day showed great interest in
the exhibits of scientific subjects, espe-
cially a tnodel wind machine to test
airplane wings, the Embryology ex-
hibit, Dr. Grant’s Beth Shemesh Col-
lection of pottery, and a scale model
of the Broadway Limited built by a
former student. All classes were
opened to visitors-on- Saturday.

Following the Sonata, Mr. Kindler
played a Habanera and Malaguena of
Ravel, ‘thus p@oviding opportunity for
comparison between the two composers,
who are alike if one thinks of them in

an harmonic innovator, almost never
‘uses the whole-tone scale, and his music
is far less “misty.” *Perhaps it seems
more clean-cut also’ because he is more
objective than Debussy, depending more
upon conscious’adherence to a scheme.

Phebe Anna Thorne to
Be Closed Temporarily
Out-of-Door School Under B.
M. Education Deptartment
Fails Financially.
MARKED DEFINITE STEP
From The Main Liner, Ardmore
The end of the 1931 school year will
mark the closing for the present of
the Phebe Anna Thorne School, which
is conducted under the’ Department of
Dr.
Marion’ Edwards Park, president of
Bryn Mawr College and chairman of the
Thorne School Foundation, has so noti-
fied the parents of the.116 children who
are now attending the school.
The Thorne School, when it was
started in 1913, marked a efinite and
different step in education. Its meth-
ods and its experiments have been copied
throughout the entire country. Prob-
ably a predominant factor in making
this school unlike others is that art,
music and eurhythmics are all carried
as part of the curriculum and not as
“extras!” In spite of these three addi-
tional subjects, the school has dropped
a year from_the usual program of col-
lege preparatory work: This is done
by a delicate adjustment of the amount
of study covered over the entire period
of years and not by any definite omis-
sion of any one subject or group of
subjects, or any year.
This in itself proves that the pro-
gressive demonstration methods used
are so successful that the children are
able to assimilate their studies more
readily and moré thoroughly.
The records of the pupils who have
been prepared for college by this school
shas_ been. consistently good..An—out-
standing student™is. Frederica de La-
guna, daughter of the late Dr. Theo-
dore and Mrs. de Laguna. At Bryn
Mawr, Miss de Laguna achieved the
highest average ever attained at this
college, with 304 credits out of a possi-
ble 315. She was awarded the Euro-
pean Fellowship arid. spent: the year
1928-1929 in France. During the. past
year she has been studying at Colum-
bia University, in New York City, on
a scholarship, and working at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania Museum. She
is specializing in anthropology.
The.school was established through
the dream of-one woman and the vision
of another. Several years prior to
1913 M. Carey Thomas, then president
of Bryn Mawr College, read of the
will of Phebe Anna Thorne, in which
it was stated that a definite sum of
money had been stipulated to be used
in furthering girls’ education. Presi-
dent Thomas went to -see Miss
Thorne’s brother and tried to obtain
the money for a Department of Educa-
tion at Bryn Mawr. Paling. in t this s
agreed to start a deffionstration. si
Thus, in October, 1913, the “Model
School,” as it is often termed, was
made possible by a legacy of $150,000,
from the estate of Phebe Anna Thorne
“in order to perpetuate her deep inter-
est in girls’ education and in the best
methods of teaching school subjects in
an observation school conducted by
the Department of Education of Bryn
Mawr College.”
President Thomas was deeply inter-
ested in the plan and it» was at her
suggestion that the school was con-
ducted almost entirely in the open air.
She had seen the marvelous results
achieved with tubercular children who
were out of doors all the time and
she felt that the normal child must also
profit-by this fresh air method.
The buildings were copied from the
pagodas of Tokio, with all four sides
open—though they may be closed when
need be. This in-itself was an indi-
viduality .that has almost been a
“trademark” of the school. .A second
is the comfortable Eskimo suits that
the children wear when the weather is
cold. A noticeakle result of this open
-air work is that the children show less
fatigue than do the youngsters who
work in_a room.
These are but two of the distinctive
| contributions. that.theschoolhas-made-
to the educational world.
In explaining her reasons for the
closing, Dr. Fark in her letter said in
part that “in /1913 ~a_fund- of $150,000}
was given to Bryn Mawr College to
establish a model school in connection
with the Department of Education and
it was hoped that the income from this
‘fund added to the tuition fees of the

‘in which they took part.
s
tures and allow for constant imprové-
ment. By 1922, however, as a result
of the cost of the buildings and the
yearly deficits a large debt had ac-
cumulated. The college authorities
had no fuhds with which to meet this
debt and felt themselves forced to close
the school. A few of the parents of
the pupils proposed a reorganization
A Thorne
School Corporation of seven was
formed, including two representatives
of the parents; the debt was bonded,
funds were raised to conduct the
school, and a large pagoda was built. | «
It was hoped that the fees of the
additional pupils would provide a sound
basis for the maintenance of the school
even though the income from the
original endowment would be -tied up
until 1947 in paying the interest and
retiring the bonds.”
..P¥resident.“Park further stated and
explained how this expectation had not
been fulfilled. A study of all condi-
ions involved was made, among them.
the “physical limitations of the school
plant,” which made it “impossible to
expand the school to the point where
the tuition income will be permanently
sufficient to cover the salary and other
expenses necessary to maintain the
educational standards of the school. In
other words, a guarantee of the deficit
for a-limited period would not estab-
lish the financial security of the
school.”
“The Thorne School Corporation is
handicapped by two provisions in the
Thorne bequest. .As the letter states,
“By the terms of the original Thorne
gift the college must continue the
school through the four high school
years and all the academic control must
be in the hands of the directors of the
college. This provision prevents the
Corporation from accepting any prop-
osition for an increase of control on
the part of parents of the pupils of the
school, such:as had just been made
informally by a group of parents in
e| consideration of some. financial sup-
port.” ae
So it Has been decided to discontinue
the school for the present.
Bryn Mawr Engages
Haverford in Debate
Continued from Page One
asked his nurse to “pick-I up and put
I tog bed”. but not to “bend I” is so
delightful that it makes one think that
if all children could have such: pic-
turesque language to reflect, that there
would be hope for our literature yet.
Even the lowly pun ntust have had
some of its hurt feelings salved by the
uproarious laughter which greeted, or
even welcomed “Ever since Helen of
Troy, women have wanted their clothes
from Paris.” One must admit’ that
such a statement is disarming, but Miss

and--Miss -Péterson. were not
Miss Peterson; who spoke
first for the negative, briskly and with
no little humor outlined the advantages
from the feminine point of view of
“emerging, one might almost say,
evolving” from the home; it keeps her
busy, gives her independence, allows
for thé. development of her personality
and talents, and frees her from eternal
servitude as housewife and nursemaid,
when. her-talents- lie in- other-directions.
Miss Clews, continuing the subject in
her own quiet way, attributed the
consignment of wonten to a cocoon
of Maternity” to “an error in attitude
dating, from the Garden of Eden.”
When, however, she is able to break
through, as did Joan -of Are and
George Sand, and as the modern
woman is doing, she has shown. that
her emergence is desirable not only
from her own point of view, but aiso
of that of her husband, her children,
“It-will-be'seen that Bryn Mawe took
great pains to cover the entire subject
and in as orderly a manner as voSsi-
ble. Haverford, on the other hand,
placed almost its whole emphasis on:
one phase, that of the family, thereby
gaining strength through concentration,
but losing in universality. The affirma-
tive was allowed a five-minute rebut-
tal, and managed to hit home several
times. Thenegative, of course, had
plenty. of opportunity to poke holes
as it went along, but due to- lack of
platform experience, the feet it thougit
on were not very stable. As a matter
of fact, all through Haverford were
more completely masters of theniselves,
possessing that power of making
formal speaking seem “heightened con-
versation” which, though the whole de-
bate was in a light vein, can come only
of perfect serenity. Their delivery, not
the merits of their arguments, was re-
sponsible for the fact that the assem-
bled audience voted them thé winners.
Yes, we have been trying to put off the
evil moment when we should have to
admit defeat. Our honor, however,
was bravely upheld, and we hope for
another chance to try our powers of
persuasion. -

THE COLLEGE NB
S
Play Managing Biisindie sN ever Dull, Says
a Mrs. Fitzwilliam it of Haverford
“Woman power is a dominant factor
in the theater worid today. Theresa
Helburn, Bryn Mawr College gradu-
ate, is credited with being the inspira-
tion behind| the Theater Guild;. Eva Le
Gallienne has accomplished wonders
with her Civic Repertory Theater idea
—Katherine Cornell has just entered
the actress-producer class, and here in
Philadelphia two of the three mem-
bers of the Board of Directors guiding
the destinies of the Professional Play-
ers are women. They are Mrs. Fitz-
william Sargent, of Haverford, and
Mrs. Upton Favorite, of Philadelphia.
Arthur B. Waters, a former resident
of Narberth, is.the third director.
And because they are women and
because they are Philadelphians, the
wonderful work they have done inter-
‘:ested me enough’ to go all the way
mto the Walnut Street Theater on a
very rainy day and- seek out Mrs,
Sargent in her office tucked away at
the side-of the Walnut Street Theaters
She told me a number of interesting
facts about the Professional Players,
which is now completing its second
season. To put it concretely, the ob-
ject of this organization is to organize
audiences to support plays rather than
to produce plays.
», In two seasons this plan has proved
not only feasible from the point of
view of playgoer, but also the pro-
ducer.
The plays chosen are not necessarily
“highbrow,” as Mrs. Sargent said, but
they are intended to give the theater-
going public. the best that is available
for an evening’s entertainment. For
that reason the subscriber should judge
the series of six plays and not one
individual production. As one man is
quoted as saying, “I haven’t liked every
ore, but | can remember them all.”
There is a similar organization in
Washington, one in Boston just started
last year under Rebecca Hobbs and
the Drama League in Chicago works
in very much the same way.
Outlining it briefly as Mrs. Sargent
told me, tne subscription method ot
bringing plays to cities like Philadel-
~ like’ Backgammon,”
phia means that a manager can afford
to. produce a play knowing that he
will, if the production measures up,
have the support of certain audiences
beside the usual Broadway run. This
means a financial security to him.
To the audience it ‘means that they
are sure to see an interesting and
worth while play either before it 1»
taken to New York or with its original
cast.
For the producer it means that pos-
sibilities for development are greater.
Also that they must bring out good
plays and it means that the actors
must also give théir best efforts.
The Professional Players in Phila-
delphia have had a wonderful success
and the six plays presented under_their
auspices this past theatrical season
were well liked in Philadelphia. “As
You Desife Me” has been one of the
hits of the current year in New York
and “The Silent Witness” is also prov-
ing successful in that city.
In addition to these, plays, Mrs. Sar-
gent pointed out that this organization
was anxious to bring to Philadelphia
anything interesting that is going .on
and to have varied entertainment for
every type of mind. Among the stars
who have appeared here under the
auspices of the Professional Players
are Ruth Draper and L’Argentina—
and Tony Sarg’s Marionettes are com-
ing. Twelve children's plays have
been given throughout the season on
Last séason there were three times
as many subscribers as the year before
and it is thought that this year there
will be four times as many.
Mrs. Sargent stressed the interest
and the confidence that the subscribers
had placed in the organization. A
meeting was held recently when stars,
directors, subscribers.all were asked to
attend and make suggestions. This
brought out the question of the criti-
cisms of the subscription audience and
Mrs. Sargent admitted that they were
apt to be more discerning, but they
were always friendly“and interested.
When asked about the selection of
plays, she said: the standard of good
taste was always one by which a play
was judged. She herself goes to New
York frequently during the season, to
see plays, producers and to read manu-
scripts. This summer she is going to
Europe to see some of the plays being
produced there.
“There's never a dull moment,” she
said, “in the play-managing business.”
When her husband was iin the serv-
ice during the war Mrs. Sargent ap-
‘peared with William Faversham and
Maxine Elliott and with the Glouces-
ter players in the summer. She is well
known to Philadelphia audiences for
she has been a member of the Plays
and Players.
In contrasting acting and producing,
Mrs. Sargent said that “when you were
stretch, but when you were producing
a play, it was like looking down from
an airplane and surveying a_ whole
panorama. - M. M.

Arthur B. Davies Picture
Lent to Commons Room
The Common Room in Goodhart has
been especially fortunate in having for
the past weeks. three works of Arthur
B. Davies which represent the devel-
of painter
through the first part of the twentieth
century. .
“Bird to Blossom”

belongs to his
period when he was busy
painting visions of children into re-
mote pastoral backgrounds. They
have~an—imaginative-(wistful)- quality |
which is charming.
In 1913 he was attracted by Picasso
and the cubisti¢ program. He adopted
to-a certain extent its geometric an-
alysis, or form, and _ intellectual ap-
proach, but retained throughout even
this period his carefully modulated
palette. Bacchante is a characteristic
work of-this—time—inits—tncertainty,
application of color, and conscious
composition.
In_ his latest period of which Tar-
tessians is an example he synthesized
all his earlier experiments to -evoke
emotion-by rhythmical arrangement of
form, flattened contours and a sensi-
tive use of color. ‘Mr. Frank Jewett
Mather has admirably summed up the
work of Arthur B. Davies when he
says: “We have to do with exquisite
miannerisms which are the flavor of the
man, the flower of his art and appar-
ently its limitation.”
