Fast Varsity Loses

To Philadelphia 4-0
Quick Passing, Interchanging’
~ Holds Skillful Opponents

To Low Score





GROUND HARD, SLIPPERY



The Varsity Hockey team played
its last game on Saturday against the!
All-Philadelphia team and was de-
feated by a score.of 4-0. Varsity
played its best game of the season
because of the fact that the opposing
team, including seven All-American
players, was the strongest it has met
this year, and played a game which
was remarkable for brilliant passing
and fast dribbling. Varsity’s passing
was unusually accurate and fast, and
even though the ground was hard
and made the ball bounce unexpect-
edly, the Bryn Mawr players were
successful in picking up hard passes.
The ground was so slippery that
most of the players fell down when-
ever they tried to stop suddenly, but
they picked themselves up quickly
and started off again. Notwithstand- |
ing the fact that the Philadelphia
team was much faster than Varsity
and often got away to’a clear field,
their free shots were always stopped
by the goal-keeper, Leighton. The
goals that they did make were all
shot from a confusing scrimmage in
the circle. The college team is to be
_congratulated on holding its skillful
opponents to a mere 4-0 victory.

‘The forwards played very well as
a whole and their team-work was
particularly good. B. Cary, playing
her last. game as -captain of the
team, played excellently as center for-
ward and got away to some very good
open-field runs. M. Bakewell, in the
left inside position, picked.up passes
well from the backs and got rid of
the ball.at the right time. Her passes
to the center and out to the wing
were well-placed behind the defend-
ing backs. Jane Carpenter, playing
right inner, seemed somewhat weak
in her handling of the ball, but kept
better control as the game went on.
She sometimes failed to send a pass
to Taggart who was often free and

' waiting for it, but this was obviously
because of the fact that it was the
difficult side to which to send a pass.
The few times that Taggart did get
the ball she handled it very well and
sent good passes to the forwards in
the shooting circle.

The team-work. on the part of the
backs was even better than that of
the’ forwards. Their quick inter-
changing was particularly useful
when a fast opposing forward started
down the field with the ball. M.
Bridgman played her best game of
the year as right half. She made one
of the most brilliant plays of the
game when she brought the ball out
of the circle after a penalty bully. P.
Martin, in the difficult position of
center half, played a really excellent
game of hockey. She successfully
brought the ball out of the circle and
carried it up to her forwards when
the opposing team was just about to
shoot, and also supported her own
forwards in their shooting. circle.
She was, perhaps, the playei most
responsible for keeping the ball
around the Philadelphia goal as much

as it was.
half, was a little weak in her inter-
ception but she showed herself to be
invaluable in backing up her wing.
M. Jackson played in the position of
right back with her usual steadiness
and determination—faculties which
are seldom found ina pame as tense
as this one. L. Bright, at left back,
showed that she could play both a fast
game and an accurate oné; and her
rapid shifting from one side of the
field to the other was a great help in’
keeping down her opponents’ score.
Gertrude Leighton upheld her repu-
tation as a good goal-keeper and con-
tinually stopped the excellent shots of
the All-American forwards. The
few short, quick flicks that did get
past her would have been impossible

, to stop.

This is .the last game for some of
the team who graduate this year, and
we know that the team will feel
their loss when they come back to
play without such players as Cary,
Taggart, C. C. Brown and Bridgman.

Restoration Drama Is

Sharply Defined Field

tions rather than plays. "From them
no dramatic material was drawn, nor
were the completed dramas addressed
to them.. The theatre was a snobbish
art, representing one clique and pre-
senting “itself to that one alone. That
one fashionable group believed in the
impossible possibility of rationalizing
the emotions. Practicing its belief, it
disregarded morality and pursued a
strictly improper course of life.
Comic playwrights found such a situ-
ation adaptable to an ancient satirical
theme springing from the paradoxi-
cal nature of man, half animal, half
divine. In the years after the World
War writers again repeated this
theme to embody the same flagrant
question of sexual license and the

i same futile attempt to subdue passion

to reason. Because of such similar
problems and similar. treatment, the
Restoration literature is linked to
that of our own time, and we are far
more capable of understanding it
than were the pious Victorians.

The world which the inverted reflec-
tion of tragedy revealed was one of
disillusionment inevitable after the
conclusion of a long, Civil War in
conditions much like those which had
existed before it ever broke out.
Combined with this feeling of frus-
tration was an aesthetic doctrine pos-
tulating the epic as the highest form
of poetry, tragedy as epic poetry un-
der another name, and the duty of
the epic as the celebration of valor,
beauty, and love. Since the examples
of valor supplied by the recent war
were too close, too obviously ugly,
too related to ordinary men, traged-
ians were forced to turn to ancient,
exotic days. There as well as any-
where, beauty could be found to
praise, and there only was pure love.
Because of the rarity of such
ethereal affection at the time, it was
especially needful that tragedy should
celebrate true love, for art should
supply what actuality lacks. _

Both inversely and immediately,
therefore, Restoration drama was
conditioned by Restoration England.
The distinctions within the conditions
were introduced or emphasized by the
individual authors. Because he had
a nimble wit and a quick ear for
prose, Etheredge, the first of the grea‘

S. Evans, playing left



comedians, developed the free comedy
form. In The Man of Mode, his most
successful play, the characters. are
gay, fantastic creatures whirling air-
ily and thoughtlessly through’ life as
if through an elaborate ballet. Like
all the figures of Restoration Comedy,
they belong to the town rather. than
to the country as the Elizabethans
did. Since, then, his plays were so
light and unphilosophical, Etheredge
expressed ne deep convictions, except
that life should be enjoyed, and en-
joyment should be made an art. He
thus missed one of the principal
characteristics. of his fellows, who
worked: with the second type of é¢om-
edy—the comedy of humors. They
did .not, like Jonson; attack the in-
herent vices of mankind, but they
did lash at all acquired follies in an
effort to present a saner view of life.
When Wycherley, who was attracted
to both the Puritanical austerity of
the masses and the gay immorality of
the court, tried to ridicule man’s in-
nate and superficial failings at the
same time, he did not succeed. The
savage vituperation which he piled
up in speech after speech made sur-
prisingly good stage effects, but not
good literature. Only in The Coun-
try Wife did he arrive at unity. His
powerful, tortured mind here worked
itself out to a delicate balance of feel-
ing which he offered as an antidote
to the extravagances of the time.

Congreve was the greatest of the
comedians. Because he was half a
poet, he was able to unify his material
and to create life out of it, although
it was fast becoming obsolete. ‘The
sexual theme had ceased to be the
most pressing contemporary prob-
lem, yet this was the theme which
Congreve used. -About it he had only
one thing to say, and he said it over
and over; that simple, honest love
alone is desirable; that artificiality
and libertinism are foolish and vi-
cious. Even though he tried to reform
the world, Congreve did not expect it
to reform. He was disillusioned and
sorrowful for all mankind. Through
his best comedy scenes there always
runs a thread ;of. sadness which is
expressed as a fear of too great
reality, as a desire to keep life at a
safe distance. To make existence a
little more graceful and poetic, to
maintain a somewhat more polite
balance of affections, seemed to him
the only way to make life bearable.
As well as thus bringing the moral-
ity of Restoration comedy to its
height, he brought the -medium—to—an
unsurpassed excellence also. He was
a master of prose. After him,
writers ceased to believe in the pos-
sibility of rationalizing the emotions.
While keeping the same cynical form,
they allowed sentimentality. to creep
in and destroy the form. Restora-
tion comedy was ended.

The tragedians of the Restoration
began on a basis as impossible as
that of the comedians; and just as
the comedy could endure only while
believed in, the tragedy was doomed
to decay as soon as its ideals of
chivalrous love and beauty were ac-
knowledged to be impossible. In the
first place, the form and content of
the tragedies were ill-suited. The
form was classical; the content, ro-
mantic. To agree with the material
used, the ancient elements of pity and
fear had to be altered; fear being
changed to admiration, and pity
limited to the calamities of true love.
Love was treated as more important

None of the tragedians was more
mad than Lee. He was actually mad,
and by his very insanity, he was im-|
pelled to aim at the absolute. Noble ;
passion, vice and horror never ap-
peared to him except in their extreme ;
aspects., Since the elaborate scenery, |
the fantastic problems, and the im-,
possible psychology of his art were |
already set for him, he could only
perfect them with his peculiarly ap-
propriate talents, but there -yet re-
mained one thing he could introduce
—words. He used words with unbe-
lievable wildness and force. If Wag-
ner had been living to write the
music, Lee would have written opera.



Dryden was a greater architect
than Lee; his plays are balanced
baroque structures decorated as pro-
fusely as possible. He himself con-
fessed that the elements he worked
with were mere nonsense, yet out of
them he. still constructed great art.
Although ‘he carried artificial pretti-
ness to its limits, he was always in|
control of that prettiness. He could |
express profound thought in its nar-
row bounds.or he could use it as a
mere exercise for perfecting the
language. In spite of the foolish ma-
terial he was forced to use, through
it he was able to express a serious,
characteristic Restoration— philosophy
—a philosophy of disillusionment. By
virtue of this similar sense of frus-
tration, in both forms, Restoration
comedy and tragedy are actually re-
lated after all, although superficially
unlike, and are actually vital, al-



though the tragedy at least often |

seems to be outmoded. |



Clifton Fadiman Lists
Best Seller’s Appeals



Continued from Page One,

books which have this appeal will sell |
for this reason alone in spite of the}
fact that they have much literary



merit. Nijinsky, by the dancer’s wife
isan example of such a book. -Ulys-
ses is another. Europa is selling now
for much the same reason, although
the critics have recently discovered
that it is not such a masterpiece as
they once proclaimed it... The fear
element is carried over from the
advertising industry: people read
such books’ as 100,000,000 Guinea
Pigs and Emily Post’s Etiquette be-
cause if they did not they would be
afraid of the consequences.

Books which have few of these, ap-
peals can be made best sellers by many
kinds of publicity. Books which are
banned by ‘such organizations as The
Society for the Suppression of Vice
often become best ‘sellers as a result
of the publicity attendant on the
action of suppression. James Branch
Cabell became a popular author only
after his novel, Jurgen, was banned.
The sale of Ulysses received a similar
impetus. Ordinary and high-pressure
advertising acts in the same way. The
Book of the Month Club. selections
usually receive a great deal of free
publicity by the members of the club.
During the years 1930-34 twelve of
the twenty-four best sellers were Book
of the Month Club selections,

Little things like the personality of
the author, preferences of celebrities
and change of titles have great effects
on the sale of books. Trader Horn
and Count Keyserling’s two-volume
work:'on philosophy became popular
partly because of interest in the ec-
centricities of their authors. Presi-
