"The Admirable
Crichton’.



LACK AMATEUR FEELING



(Specially contributed by Dm Herben)

“The Admirable Crichtoti”
inferior play. . At its best it is a sor¢
of dilute and third-rate Shaw and. at
its worst it is intolerable hokum. Al-
though a favorite for amateur produc-
tions and one which has been offered
‘to Bryn Mawr audiences more than
once, it is still a play to read rather
than a play to produce. Much of the

third act is as nearly unplayable as|_

anything can be. The long and con-
templative meal requires the skill of
a George Arliss, and more skifl than
that is needed to make convincing
such balderdash as “Bill Crichton a?
ways plays the game”’.or the miser-
able lines: about the Babylonian cap”
tivity. If to this original difficulty: is
added the problem of the sets for acts
two and three and the accoustic eccen-
tricities of Goodhart Hall, the com-
bination becomes onedemanding zeal
“aid patiéice on the parts of those who
would produce the play.

“ How successfully the problems were
mét was. observed with satisfaction
and’ some ‘astonishment .by those. who
attended the .performance on Satur-
day night. It fas a performance that
reflected great] credit. upon the skill
and ingenuity of all those who took
part ‘in “its planning and execution.
The island scene “which was con?
structed the day of the performance is
a sample; many worse sets have been
seen in Gotham. Perhaps the most
fundamental excellence was, however,
in. the casting. .With one. exception,
each person .,was_beautifully_adapted
to play the part assigned. One recalls
the finesse of Lady Mary’s acting, the
convincing picture of Tweenygnd the

rather devastating reality of Lady
Brocklehurst.’ Equally was the audi-
ence ‘impressed with the eminently

satisfactory casting of the visitors, and
it was by no means restricted to the
major characters. The: whole com-
pany: was a well-balanced and _well-
‘thosen grup.

Lack: of Diversity in B. M. Voices.

Amateur productions are often more
interesting to the company’ than to
the audience. One often feels a sort
..ofanticipation of something inept, and

well. There was none*of that in’ Sat-
urday night's affair. On the contrary,
from the beginning there was a sense
of the=eamplete comfPetence of the
whole organization. All that marked
it as an obviously amateur company
was that the parts representing young
- people were played by persons of age
required and without the specious
youthful mannerisms. of professional

juveniles. That, and perhaps a fresh-
ness not usually associated with. the
theatre. One peculiarity that, the

shortness of rehearsal and the lack of
stage experience would account for,
was the uniformity of .pitch and accent
of the Bryn Mawr voices. -This was
repeatedly.noted and commented upon
by out-of-town visitors. But it is a
task to seek” opportunities for adverse
criticism. Rather is one inclined to
adniire the sound showmanship ofthe
prodtiction and the.poise that carried
on the scene ‘in spite of an embarrass-
ing interruption from the house at the
‘ most inopportune moment possible.

It is a-pleasant duty to pay tributé
to the individuals who composed the
cast, but one is likely to run out of
superlatives at an early stage. Crichs
ton, who. played his part with assut-
ance and vigour, might have been more
convincing if possessed of an English
accent, but in all else. he left little
tangible to be desired. . Brocklehurst
and the pale young curate were com-
pletely satisfying as was also the act-
ing of- Mr. Windust, perhaps the most

Robert Edmond Jones

Robert Edmond Jones, artist
and designer of stage sets, will
speak at college early next week
under the auspices of the Speak-
ers’ Committee of the Undergrad-
uate’ Association.

Mr. Jones gave a series ‘of lec-
‘tures through the west two years
ago in the interest of the develop-_
ment of the theatre in western
cities. ,He alsp gave a seriés of
lectures at the summer sessidn of.
the University of California dur-
ing the season of 1927. He writes
very interesting articles on the
theater, and among the plays for
which he has designed the sets are
John Barrymore’s ‘Hamlet, Machi-
nal,*Holiday and Serena Blandish.
Mr. Jones also designed the | sets
for the Metropolitan’s version of
the modern ballet, Skyscrapers.







College With Breasted

In a talk at AVednesday’s chapel in
the Music Room, Dr. Swindler ac-
quainted the college-with Prof. James
H. Breasted and his work. “Probably
you all have read a part of Mr.
Breasted’s work, and’so it is not un-
familiar--to—you;’—Dr.-Swindler—began,
and went on to say that as a lecturer
he was the first choice of the Mary
Flexner Foundation, that, | a scholar
he is ‘a most distinguished” Orieftalist
and historian, and that at present he
is director of the Oriental Institute of
the University of Chicago.

Professor Breasted _ has | rec€ntly
been enabled through endowments to
etter into the projects of excavation
in the East which are usually handled
only by professors of sabbatical leave,
and he is at present carrying out his
plans in six important enterprises. -A
few years ago an expedition: was ar-
ranged by Mr. Breasted to trace pre-
historic man in Egypt, and the dis-
covery of tool§ embedded along the
Nile has formed significant proof of
the relation of the Egyptians to the
ancient EurdPeans. In another site
the excavation of Hittite discoveries
has led to a classified stratification by
pottery, and much important historic
data has been gathered. Several groups
of scholars’under the direction of Pro-
fessor. Breasted are “doing research
at various museums all over the world,
and at Cairo Professor Breasted
finding out the coffin formulae and
pyramid inscriptions from which early
material the -Book-—of the Dead—was
compiled in the eighteenth dynasty.
Mi-Breasted is ‘alse hunting ‘down |
the fabulous tales of the Orient;* in
Mesopotamia: the. sources of these-in=
vestigations are paintings, such as of
a scorpion- -man, with. castanets, or 2
dog carrying an altar with a leg of
lamb ‘upon .it. The’ fable can be
traced’ back to 3500 B. C., and in
India probably farther. The tales: of
our negro population form an inter-
esting analogy to this ancient-mate-
rial. At Thebes an expedition is under
way similar~to~that-of the Metropoli-
tan or Boston. Museums.
_ Professor Breasted is a very busy
man; and it is only the friendMip of
the Flexners which has brought him
here. The four lectures to be pre-
sented at Goodhart Hall form a series
named The New Crusade: Thursday,
April 11th, Dr. Breasted will ‘speak on
“The Place of the Near East_in Hu-
man Development;” Friday, April
19th, on “The Scientific Responsibility
of America in the Near East and the
Salvaging of the Evidence;” Friday,
April 26th, on “The Evidence and
Man's Conquest of Nature; Tuesday,
May 7th, on “The Evidence and_ the
Emergence of Social Idealism.” Also,
on April 20th, the most famous Ori-
entalists are to be gathered’ at the
Philosophical Sociéty~in- Philadelphia,
and a.debate will be held between Dr.
Breasted and former Professor Bar-

is

ton, of Bryn Mawr.
Dr. Swindler spoke besides of the

Self-Government Board -

-~ Submits~Annual Statement
The Self-Government Board of the
past year; under the Chairmanship of
Rosamund Cross, has submitted the
following statement to the college:
“The Executive Board has felt that
the college has not understood the
full meaning of special permission. In
the Self-Government regulations, it is
required for “motoring and several
other rules, but people seem to regard
this as its sole furiction. - Consequently
when they want to-do something that
hot mentioned the rules, they
either do not do it, or else do not try
to. get special permission, and break
the rule. ‘The Board feels that this is
not the real meaning of special per-
‘mission; it exists primarily for cases
that are not mentioned in the’ rules,
when a person Wishes: to. do’ something
for which’ there 7 “a periectty good
reason, but w hich, wees ‘net - ‘apply to
enough people to havés@ rule about.
it. We, therefore, wish, to yirge people
to: try to get special permission in-
stead of breaking rules when they are
doing perfectly legitimate things.
“There is still a smalf group ~ of
| peaple-who feel that théy"are perfectly
“able to take. care of thémselves and
s6--are above all rules: This is an
absolutely’ selfish attitude = which
shows an entire lack of responsibility
toward the college.community and to-
ward the college itself. ‘ Any set of
rules has to be for the community as.
a whole* special permission is given
for exceptions to these.. The. growth
of a strong public opinion and an in-

is” in



ereased sense of responsibility seem to

be ‘the only possible solutions for a:
situation that Has existed for a long
time.

“The Executive Board. feels that
this year the college as a whole has
shown a much better spirit toward the
regulations of the association. This
may, perhaps, be due to the fact that
practically @hé only rules in existence
are “safety rules” such as, any think-
ing person can éasily seé are necessary
in, a gitls’ college. The Board hopes
that this same spirit of to-operation
will continue throughout the coming
year.”



Miss Park Is Ill :

Mrs. Manning spoke in chapel on
Monday morning, April 8, and told us
that President Park had had an opera-
tion in Baltimore, and that ‘she was

Varsity Players.
Grateful for Aid

(Specially €ontributed by annabel
Learned )

In the absence of full comniittee lists
on the program of The Admirable Crich-
ton, we would like.to express thanks to:|
all those (there a great many ) |
gave generous time and un-
interest to. the work of pro-
duction. The significance of this to
Varsity Dramatics stands Gut now be-
cause, although we have Jong desired
to-avoid-the use of professiédnal work-
men, it-was onlythe co-operation. of
so many people in this first trial that
made the experiment. successful, and
the policy possible for the future. With
experience and planning, it should be-
come a very good thing, both” for
dramatics and for the college.
A word of thanks must be expressed |
to certain other workers on produc-
tion, unnamed_as. such, in the persons
of the Princeton cast and Dr. Herbeén,
who came to the rescue when we were
pressed for time, and labored heart-
ily, even on the day of performance.
|. Most especially has credit been- in-
' adequately given to all that was dofie |
by Bretaigne Windust, President of |
the Theatre Intime, who not only}
acted and directed, but who contrived
by his fund of knowledge and untiring
work to be a mainstay of every nanan

Mr. Duell to Paint



‘As Guggenheim Fellow Will Copy

Mr? Prefitice Duell, of the Depart-
ment of Archeology, has been appointed
a Guggenheim Fellow for next year to
study. Etruscan painting of the fifth
century B. C. at Tarquinia, Italy, and
to... make _archeologically accurate
copies in..color of: the wall paintings



in. the. best..preserved tombs of, this...
period.

This work will - be: similar to that
which he did some years ago in con-
‘nection with the. Tomba del Tri-
clinio, probably, the finest .tomb oat
Tarquinia. The copies which he made
of the paintings in this tomb, after
being shown. at the anual exhibition
of the American Academy in Rome,
were reproduced in color in Vol. VI
of the Memoirs of the Academy.

kings. and. probably the chief of the
twelve cities of Etruria, situated
north of Rome near the coast. ‘ The
tombs of the aficient necropolis are
located along the highway leading
southwest from modern. Tarquinia.
These tombs are under ground and
consist of one or more chambers. The
walls: are- .covered with paintings;
some of them were most likely done
by Greek artists, in which case they

jremain the only..examples of monu-

Since the tombs are in almost total
darkness; the work will. be done -in’
the white light of powerful acetylene
lamps which shows the colors in. their
true value. The copying will be done
at a large scale and in water color,

‘Wall Street to College

On Wednesday: afternoon, April 0,
. Mr. Henry Wise Miller spoke on
“Speculation i Wall. Street” at the
- Common Room tea at Goodhart Hall.
The many. uses.of.the. term “money”
are misleading to the general public.

“Call money” is a Short term loan

called in by the brokers every twenty-
four ‘hours, and its rate varies from
day to day. There are two groups of
figures available showing the amounts
of such loans: first, that published by
the Federal Reserve Banks, and sec-
ond, that published by the Stock
Exchange itself. :

Money loaned in this way formerly
came ftom bank contributors. All the
small banks eventually sent their
money in to New York banks, who
loaned it to the Stock’ Exchange,
whose’ seéurities are among the best in
the world. Now. we have entered a
new phase of business, and holders of
surplus wealth loan directly. This a
new type of credit expansion has
taken place, and business has grown
‘beyond present understanding.

“Phe Federal Reserve Banks exer-
cise a certain amount of control over
speculation. They use various minor
means of ¢ontrolling rates, and bring
into play a restraining police super-

the business man.were without : the
Exchange he would probably put his
money outlays

into _ factories: and:

where he could not readily get at it.

“Wfien, the’ ‘same money is, used on the
Exchange, eveti if the firm fails, the

money is still in use somewhere.
Speculation is dangerous now, how-
ever, because it is ithpossible to tell
what relation prices bear to prosperity. Slight -optimism rapidly
develops into a boom, and basil
quickly spreads.

*Some feel that speculation is unjus-
tified gambling; others feel that legis-
lation against, it would tend to restrict
all. but gainful trades.” As men work
only for what interests them in any
usiness, so men in Wall street desire
prosperity and are creating it.



Awarded Scholarship

Miss | Edi Cummings, graduate}
student in, nch at Bryn Mawr this
year, has just been awarded the

Franco-American scholarship -by the
Institute of International Education
in New, York City. Her -work is to
be done in Paris, and Miss Cummings
will live in the’ Maison des Etudi-
ants neéextyear.

For the remainder of. the college
year the required’ work in athletics
will ‘consist of ‘two periods ® week
for both Freshmen and Sophomores.
During these periods the -individual
Jhoe—the choice of several forms of
exefejse—tentis, fencing, ‘swimming,
lacrossf, natural and clog dancing and
archery. Upperclassmen are cordially
invited to join the required groups’ in
any of these sports. The schedule for

this spring includes interclass tennis

matches and lacrosse games. There
will be several outside eyents in each
sport, and among these are to be the
tennis thatches with . Vassar.

Miss Petts strongly recommends
lacrosse to all those interested in
sports. It makes for agility, litheness,
and: strength, as well as being a grace-
ful game to watch and a_ thrilling
game ‘to play.

Dr. Chew’s New |

Samuel C. Chew, professor of

English Literature at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, special lecturer, and author of
literary criticismis of many outstand-
ing anen of letters, has just written a
comprehensive volume on Swinburhe.
Fin “Swinbarie’ Dro Chew erveo-a8™
background for his scholarly criticism
of the poet’s lyrical “and: narrative
verse and his tragedies and prose
writings, many humorous and _inter-
esting biographical facts.” He de-
scribes how Swinburne, as a turbulent
red-haired imp, experiencing ‘that bliss
which comes in each generation to
aspiring youth who imagine them-
selves (with the aid of a brandy bot-
tle), ‘o’er all the ills of life victorious,’
burst upon the drowsy Victorians as
they ‘lay basking jn the misty sunshine
of Tennysonian respectability “with
such poems and malicious: tricks that
his parents and publishers alike fell
to their- knees in tears of agonized



ciples. In fact,.the survey itself was
brought to our attention by President!
Park. The.point on which Mr. Craw-'
ford lays considerable emphasis, and
which. does run: contrary to Bryn. Mawr}
methods, is, of course, the question of
required courses. We would like to

made the most of it.



In fact, one is

‘to the whole company when one re-
members the performances of Fisher,
the two younger sisters, and others

among the minor parts. Comment
was repeatedly made upon.” the
smoothness of the performance, its
balance and the restraint with which
the parts were played.

Scenery and Props Both Good.

One group of collaborators whose
work was ‘apparent but who did not
have a chance to receive the applause
which they merited ,was the technical
corps. To them credit is due for the
fatiguing work of building sets, shift-
ing Scenery, collecting properties and
making possible a thoroughly admir-
“able production.

And, finally, to Miss learned and
Mr. Windust, who managed and
coached the play, is due not. only
p-aise for their accomplishment, but
thanks for. an enjoyable evening.

_. The whole affair was in the nature
of an experiment. Not everyone was
sure that the difficulties of collabora-
tion, much of it at a distance of, fifty
miles, would. be overcome. But the
serious eagerness to work and com-
petence of the two groups to do things
togetlier overcame all of the problerhs
as they arose and left a ‘pleased audi-
ence convinced of. the success of the
‘venture. It brought together two dra-

, One of the’ most interesting phe-

the afternoon, four o’clock mass move-
ments toward the coffee-shops to ’sip
coffee and browse newspapers. Men
in MO CEES,
young and old, professors and priests,
typists and athletes, sit for hours in
these coffee shops devouring—no, not
meat and drink—but page after page

The coffee shop with its‘ supply of

newspapers is, of course, 4 European
institution, but I have never seen the
people of*any country flock to these
“flews watering places” in such num-
bers, or interest themselves in such a
great number of different papers..
Even the street cars in Prague are
hung with newspapers for the weary
business men coniing home from the
office, or perchance for his maid.
One of the many wonders of the
city to me was the student reading



room at the so-called “Akademicky
Dum” or ‘student union house. Over |
one thousand six hundred newspapers |
and periodicals .are_ regularly
available to the students, and these
publications come from almost every
nation, in almost ‘every language.
German, Russian, French, American
and English papers are there in great
numbers. Furthermore, every chair

opening to closing. The greater pro-

there are a great number, who,. living

‘in this reading room. An interesting
rule of the room gives some idea of
the tenacity with which these stu-
dents pursue their-study and reading.
It is: “Students leaving the room for
‘lunch cannot hold chairs for more
than one-half. hour.” :

' This strange situation—people read-
ing so many different papers every
day—should be explained by certain
facts, which define the European
newspapers. The periodicals are on
the whole official organs of political
parties; trade unions-and societies for
social or economic reform. , They -ate

For FRANCE! —

Parents are good souls... positively weak-
minded about education.-:-Easiest thing in the
world to make them: see travel as a cultural
influence ... they always fall. -:- And what
couldn’t you do with a year of France, tucked
in between college and buckling down?

Tell them you’ve got to see history on the
hoof...get the international viewpoint on the
spot... polish up your French for social, pro-
fessional or business purposes...acquire a
European background for your American
opinions. -:- Then, with a nice little letter of
credit, you can do all these worthy things...
and have the time of times. -

The French Line gives you France from the
