Varsity defeated the Philadelphia Col-
lege of Pharmacy and Science in an
easy game by the score of 64-18. Bryn
Mawr showed its heels to the chal-
lenge of the visitors, playing sound
basketball in spite of the numerous
shifts in the opponent’s line-up.
On Saturday morning, the second
team continued its good start with a
victory over the already worn-out
Philadelphia Cricket Club team, 25-6,
in a game consisting of two eight-min-
ute halves. On the whole, we were
glad to notice that a little more co-
operation was used in both the games
this week, not only by the forwards,
but also the centers. We would like
to see, however, a little better passing
and a little re accuracy.

Voice of Bryn Mawr
Editor of the Collége News:
It is too bad that readers of the
News must be discouraged from seeing
three, or any one of those three, very
good plays simply because the write-
ups of them in the last week’s News
were so very bad. I refer to Escape
Me Never, The Petrified Forest, and
The Distaff Side, especially to the lat-
tex two. %
What any reader wants to know is
what the play is about, with a brief
sketch of the plot, and a general criti-
cism of the acting and staging in-
volved. She wants it to be written in
a straightforward and easily under-
standable manner, so that she will
know exactly what she is getting in
for when she goes to see it. But your
reviewer tries with all her might to
write in true collegiate style which,
of course, implies that the criticism of
relatively unimportant details is over-
stressed and because of numerous
quirks. of speech; a false impression
of the whole is given. To introduce
The Petrified Forest by saying that
true, but simply that it is unduly em-
phasized, and isolated meaninglessly
from its subordinate place in the
whole. And instead of glibly saying
that Leslie Howard is the “center. of
attention because of his unfailing
charm,” I would refer you to a review
in the Literary Digest of not long ago:
“It has been held against Mr. Howard
that his especial trick in the theatre
was that of remaining virtually mo-
tionless while the others in his~eom-
panies acted themselves to _ pieces
around him. This, it has been said,
naturally focused attention and, of
course, approval, on him...It is true
that he is a master of understatement
in performance, that others do act
themselves to pieces around him, but
in The Petrified Forest he is forced
to the extremity of his talents by a
shrewdly chosen company. And when
the play ends, and he still is the su-
perior in aéting, it is further glowing |]
tribute to his powers.” While it is
not your purpose to review as. thor-
‘oughly as this in a “News from the
New York theatres” column, still it
might be wise to attribute some intel-
ligence to the cast of the play you are
recommending when they deserve as
much praise for it as this one does.
To say that “the sad end of Mr. How-
ard rather loses its effect’? because of
the excitement. and action around him,
shows a lack of appreciation of the
sensitive handling of irony. which
like to know what sort of acting it
is that the play calls for—why it ‘is
that Elizabeth Bergner “electrifies
and animates” the stage so complete-
ly. It would only take a few more
lines of space and would give the
reader. a more complete idea of the
play. 19
And lastly, did the person who
wrote the one-sentence summary of
The Distaff Side ever see the play?
Unless it has been radically changed
within the last few weeks, the daugh-
ter does. not “Break Away in the time-
honored manner of stage daughters,”
nor does she come ‘home “with the
baby in her arms and the blood-hounds
howling at her heels.” The figure of
speech, if such it is, is completely ir-
relevant to the point of the story. And
incidentally, the “woman controlling
her family” is not the Miss Murd-

“THERE’S SO MUCH GOING ON in college today,”
says James Casey, 37, “that an undergraduate can hardly
find time to work everything in. I’m studying a business
course; am mixed up in several outside activities; and,
in my spare time, ’m doing tutoring. So naturally I feel
rather weary and ‘fed up’ at times. To head off fatigue,
I always turn to Camels. Smoking a Camel does ‘wake
up’ my energy. It’s a delightful experience! And whata
great taste Camels have—mild, yet full and rich. I never
get tired of Camels. I guess that’s why I smoke so many.
But steady smoking doesn’t bother me — Camels never
