throughout and succeeded in speeding
up whatever scene he entered. His
voice, walk, gesture, laugh—all were
‘in keeping with the dandified prince.
Mr. Reaves was provided with better
lines than the other actors; and he
made the most of them. ° d

Mary Hinckley Hutchings portrayed
the determined and nervous Princess
Behbice with capability and spirit,
although she tended to overact at
times. She was frequently hampered
by stiff dialogue, but when she had a
chance to speak really good lines, she
showed her ability,.as in the lines:

“Alexandra will look at the tutor.|
Alexandra, will dance with the tutor.
God will forgive me. God will forgive
Alexandra. J shall never forgive the
tutor.”

William H. Clark, Jr., gave a well-
sustained performance as Dr. Nicho-
las Agi, tutor to Alexandra’s broth-
ers, who falls in love with the prin-

cess. He acted the difficult rolé with
sincerity and feeling.

Huldah Cheek, as~ Princess” Maria
Dominica, gave an extremely capable
impersonation of the competent and
understanding mother of Prince Al-
bert, Although many of her lines suf-
fered from stiffness and a lack of con-
tractions, Miss Cheek overcame the

ults of the playwriting by her act-
ing ability and stage presence.

\\ Robby Hoxton, as. Symphorosa, and

Hliam A. Crawford, as Father Hya- |

cinth, were both satisfactory, al-
though Mr. Crawford gesticulated too
much; and both forgot their lines and
were prompted audibly. several times.
Miss Hoxton, by her walk—especially
in exits—and by her voice, provoked
much laughter for her characteriza-
tion of the spinster sister of Beatrice.

George B. Bookman, as Caesar, the
eapable and haughty major-domo, was
one of the best actors in the play. His
recital of “Cold consomme, cold sal-
mon, cold roast beef,” delivered in a

most sneerifigly respectful tone, was
noteworthy. Equally amusing was
the-seene-in-which~he—-reviewed--and
dusted the hussays- and lackeys.

Margaret Kidder and Virginia
Lautz as George and Arsene, the two
young sons of the. house of. Beatrice,
performed quite capably in small
roles. In the scenes with the tutor,
with Father Hyacinth and with Prin-
cess” Maria Dominica, they supplied
good impersonations of mischievous
and intelligent boys.

The costumes for the play set an
almost professional standard of ex-
cellence, and Elizabeth Bryan is to be
highly commended for her splendid
work in designing and making the cos-
tumes. All of the dresses worn by
Princess Beatrice, the bright yellow
uniforms of the lackeys and the uni-
form of Prince Albert were especially
colorful'and added much to the play.

Many of.the faults of the play were
undoubtedly due to the translation
used for the performayce. Many lines

The reasons for the defects in The
Swan were not a result of the in-
| adequacy of Varsity Players; rather,
|the choice of play called for more
sophistication and ease than under-
graduates can provide, The main
shortcomings were the indecision of
Miss Seltzer and the need for some
unifying agency. Although the tempo

only be called mediocre, although it
is by no means to be set down as a
failure. A. M.

“An engineer’s life,” he says, ‘calls for physi-
cal fitness and energy. When my pep is at
low ebb, there’s nothing like a Camel, for a
Camel chases away all signs of tiredness. I
always get a ‘lift’ with a Camel. I have pre-
ferred Camels for years because of their good

mildness. They never irritate my

throat. That’s oné way you can tell Camels

from more expensive tobaccos.”








YOU'LL LIKE THEIR
‘MILDNESS TOO

At work and at play there always
comes a time when it’s pleasant
to heed the famous advice: “Get
a ‘lift’ with a Camel!” For Camels
increase your flow of energy. And
Camels are mild—a matchless
blend of costlier tobaccos. Your
first Camel tastes good. And so does
every other one. Costlier tobaccos
do make a difference.
