John Mason Brown Finds Current Season _,
Proves Shakespeare Popular as Jumbo’



Deanery, January 11.—This thea-
tre séason is especially exciting and
interesting because it has disproved
the rumor, current since Aeschylus’
time, that the theatre is dead, and
because Shakespeare has proved to be
as popular as Jumbo, declared John
Mason Brown, dramatic critic for the
New York Evening Post.

Shakespeare has been saved from
the school teachers and restored’ to

his medium, after being bound for so!
many years by his admirers, from,

whom. he has. suffered as much as
George Washington has from _ the
D. A. R. Two Shakespearean dramas |
have come to life in the theatre this
season: the Katharine Cornell version
of Romeo and Juliet and the Lunt’s
production of The Taming of the
Shrew, both of them extremely inter-
esting.

The return engagement of Romeo
and Juliet showed a great improve-
ment in the play since its opening a
year ago. One reason for it is the
absence of Basil Rathbone’s “Gillette-
blade aquilinity,” which was not
suited to the part of Romeo.. A sec-
ond reason is found in the growth of
Miss Cornell’s Juliet. She survives
the ordeal of playing ‘a girl of four-

teen ‘for five long acts, and is the
embodiment. of everything tremulous
and young.

The Lunts in The Taming of the
Shrew do for Shakespearean comedy
what Miss Cornell has done for
Shakespearean tragedy. They haye | i
“cireused it into life.” In most pro-|
ductions of the comedy, the induction
scene js omitted; and this omission
changes the whole reason of being of
the play. When the induction scene
is included, as in the current produc-
tion, a play-within-a-play acted by
strolling players who cannot be too,
good, is necessarily assumed. Its}
realism cannot be too closely investi-
gated and no er . of logic on
arise.

The Lunts bring “by. play” to their
roles: they have ceaseless curiosity
which” makes them search out the
inner meahing of every line, giving
an interpretation rather than a mere
characterization. They provide the
play with a horse-play which Shakes-
peare would have loved; and “the
Minsky touch” is ever present.

Two other Shakespearean plays
have been produced this season, both
by Philip Merivale, and both unsu¢-

The Deanery, PERE 9.—*“Dogs

Eustis in her lecture on the work of

education and employment and have
bridged the gulf between the sightless

It accepts as students the up-and-
coming men ahd women who want

Art Alliance Offers
Junior Memberships



The Philadelphia Art. Alliance has
agreed to allow two of its members,
Mrs. Reginald Jacobs (Sophia Yar-
nall, Bryn Mawr, ex ’28) and Mrs.
Kimbrough Wrench (Emily Kim-
brough, Bryn Mawr, ’21) to propose,
for Junior membership, Bryn—Mawr



junior committee with a membership
of one dollar which in the future is
to have charge of sending dogs. For

the sum of one hundred.and fifty dol- ;

lars, which must be paid within three
years, the student receives a dog, four
months’ training and living expenses.
His actual cost to the school is nine
hundred dollars, which is covered by
memberships.

Students enter the Seeing Eye in
classes of eight and after a period of
orientation.are given their dogs in a
ceremony known as the “turn-over.”
The dogs have previously been
through three months of training
under competent instructors. They
are taught to approach their masters
from behind in order not to trip them,
to see every obstacle that might lie
in their path from an ordinary street
curb to a low awning pole, to ignore
stray dogs and, finally, to lead their
owners quickly and safely through the
heaviest traffic. The supreme test for
the dogs comes when they must guide
their instructors, who are blindfolded,

Puppet Spr ae
Wins Fligh Approval

High Artistic lave of Theatre
Set in Skillful Manipulation
By Puppeteers

SATIRE IS UNSURPASSED

Sunday,. January 12.—

| The puppeteers of the Club Guignol
in New York undoubtedly have ful-

filled their artistic mission in writing
“a new page in the history of the
theatre of this country.”





Deanery,

The per-
formance in the Deanery was illus-
trative of their skill in the field of
satire, caricature, aesthetics, drama-
tic talent and of distinctive ability in
songs and music, The success of the
Yale |Puppeteers was so great that
further efforts will have to be held
in Goodhart Hall. The Deanery was

far too crowded, and. for very good
reasons. —

Mr. Forman Brown, the composer
of the songs, lyrics and tunes opened
the performance with an explanation
of the reasons: for_revealing the pup-
peteers themselves. People are curi-
| ous, and therefore as a new experiment
;in puppetry, the men who pull the
strings are disclosed. The delightful
Haydn Trio was the first act on the
small stage, a traditional act. The
uncomfortable pianist, the emotional
violinist and the cellist who played
with his head have performed over a
It was an uncanny
feeling suddenly to feel oneself look-
ing at puppets as real as human
beings.

Douglas Fairbanks strutted on the
stage after the trio. Mr. Fairbanks
is one of the puppets made on the
west coast. Puppet-portraits of stars
enabled their company to remain on

Ate Finding Employment |



(Reprinted from the New York |
| Times of January 12.)

Thirty-one per cent of the member-
ship of last June’s graduating class |
at Bryn Mawr College is employed |

in paid jobs, according to a survey |

peteers. iby the Bureau of Recommendations. |

Mme. Stan is particularly interested
in bringing to the youth of this coun-
try some conception of the real Rou-
manian folk ways. She has her cos-
tumes dyed, sewed and embroidered
by her own workers. An exhibit of
Roumanian crafts which she will!
bring contains laces, beautiful pieces |
of metal thread embroidery and ex-
amples of other typical Roumanian
arts. All of these articles which will
be on display and for sale are made
in the authentic peasant fashion and
are not the usual type of commercial
souvenir. The exhibits will be on dis-
play and for sale.

It is hoped that the Roumanian Am-
bassador will be able to come to the
college and enjoy Mme. Stan’s pro-

gram.

Latin Classes Hear Lecture

Taylor Hall, January 13.—Miss
'Lake’s lecture for the Latin ‘classes
on Archaeological Evidences of Livy's
History of Roman People was well
illustrated by pertinent slides, which
were interpreted in their relation to
the ancient peoples of whom Livy
writes.

Historians have investigated the
truth of Livy’s vivid stories; and
archaeological discoveries have pointed
to concrete facts. Rome was founded
by people from Alba Longa, and cer-
tain graves discovered in the Roman
Forum correspond to graves found in
the Alban Hills. The burial urns, jars
and implements which have been
found aid historians in their search
for the customs of-the early Romans.

The Etruscans have long been a
confusing problem in history. It is
thought that they came originally
from Asia Minor and migrated to
the west coast of Italy. Their ceme-
teries, monuments and ornaments, the
tomb decorations and statues which
have been unearthed, are indicative
‘of high attainment in the arts. The
famous bronze statue of the wolf and

Who Gives Permission?

One of*the most important functions of Self-Government is the control
of the engagements of students off the college grounds after dark. The
institution of permission is usually upheld at Bryn Mawr and, on the whole,
it is recognized as a just and liberal system. One of its details, nevertheless,
is the source of many complaints and is greatly in need of amendment. We
refer_tothe scarcity- of those_who can give permission at the very time
when it is most generally desired.

The trouble arises from the fact that if some of those authorized to
grant permission are off campus for the evening or the-night, it means that
there are very few people available on the campus to give permission. Not
infrequently, a-hall is left without a single person who has the necessary
power; and, accordingly, nearly every weekend we encounter some of our
unhappy fellows chasing madly from one hall to another in quest of
permission. ?

Thk way out of this dilemma does not lie in an increase in the num-
ber of those who are authorized to give permission. It has seemed best to
limit this power to a rather small group of students who, in addition to
being responsible individuals, are also familiar with the work of Self-Gov-
ernment. Instead, a system of automatic substitutes ought to be developed
to remedy the evil. Every regular person who gives permission ought to
have a substitute, selected in the usual way by the Self-Government board,
who would take over the functions of the regular member whenever the
latter was going to be away for the evening or the night. The details of
this plan would, of course, have to be worked out by the officers and the
board of Self-Government; but it offers a basis for a possible solution of a
problem which ‘has long needed consideration.



New Year’s Resolutions

The “brighter weekend” seems to have arrived on the campus, and
we can only wish that it stay here. John Mason Brown’s witty and inform-
ative lecture, the Yale Puppeteers and a Denbigh hall tea together enlivened
last Saturday and Sunday most effectively. Although we realize that such
_a happy combination of events is not possible on every weekend, we do
not see why any one should pass ‘without some form of entertainment,
however impromptu.

Many have been the complaints in the past that the life of those who
remained in the college after. Friday classes was dull and deadly. With
nothing to do here that afternoon, with nothing the next day, and still
with nothing on the next, the unfortunate ones were certainly justified in
bewailing their lot. If they wished friends to visit them, they could not
offer any enticing prospect of excitement. Philadelphia and movies on the
Main Line could always be relied upon for amusement, but for anyone
with only a few hours to spare from labor, this amusement was as much
beyond reach as a New York theatre. Some activity not too formal and
not too protracted was necessary on the campus itself.

This dismal situation was done away with on the weekend just past.
If “brighter weekends” can be continued in the future, likewise, the life
of the Btyn Mawr student will be considerably improved. Informal dances,
square dances, one-act plays which provide the actor and the audience
alike with recreation, are means of entertainment which require little prep-
aration or expense. Lectures in the Deanery and occasional teas in the
Common Room to which guests may be brought are proper things to do on
Sunday afternoons, and pleasant on any day. With the unlimited possi-
bilities of fun right here on Bryn Mawr grounds, it will be sad indeed if
weekends relapse into their former monotonous gloom.

Professor Kroner Gives.
Lecture On Kant, Hegel



Common Room, January 7.—Dr. R.
Kroner, formerly Professor of Phil-
osophy at Kiel University and Editor
of the magazine Logos and at the
present time Research Professor at
Berlin’ University, delivered to the
major philosophy, students the second
of a sefies of three lectures at Hav-
erford and Bryn Mawr. In an his-
tofical survey of Kant and Hegel he
emphasized the fact that in Hegel
the Kantian enigma of the opposition
between the physical and-the meta-
physical is resolved by making the
ethical force at the same time the
physical force of the universe.

He opened with the thesis that the
philosophy of Aristotle had a unique
significance in the history of Europe
because of its comprehensiveness,
which includes all gradations of every
idea and at the same time does jus-
tice to the whole and to each part of
the universe. In it man is the center
of the universe, and God is outside
the sensuous world, the unseen mover.
This philosophy predominated in the
world of thought up to the time of
Copernicus, after whom Descartes set
forth a scientific philosophy which
violated the natural and fundamental
demand of man’s thinking for unity
in the universe. Leibnitz, although
scientific in outlook, maintained the
connection with the old metaphysic,
and Kant renewed it in a philosophy
which again placed man in the center
of the universe. Kant failed how-
ever to effect a complete return to the
old metaphysic, of Aristotle because
he never succeeded in reconciling the
dichotomy between the natural or
physical and the metaphysical, and in
overcoming the dualism between the
“ethical reason and the _ theoretical
understanding.”

In Hegel the old metaphysics of
Aristotle returns in full, and the fu-
sion of thought is effected by “the
comprehension that the unity of the
world is possible only if the theoreti-
cal knowledge of nature and the ethi-

. cal knowledge of self unite in one,

and this is only possible in the knowl-
edge of God. Thus both
sides of the picture are united in
comprehensive thinking.”



Trained Dogs Render
Blind Self-Sufficient

through the busy streets of Morris-
town.

Before the students receive their
dogs they are put through a series
of orientation tests. Instructors im-
personate dogs until the students have
learned how to handle their animals.
Each student is made familiar with
Morristown by a system of “hand-
mapping,”: the use of a relief map to
teach the direction and location of
streets. The blind man must know
where he wants to go before a dog is
of any use to him. He is the central
guiding force, while the dog, directed
by the three verbal commands of
“Left!” “Right!” and “Forward!” acts
as his eye.

Under the careful guidance and
constructive atmosphere of the Seeing
Eye, the blind students develop a new
outlook on life. Ease, confidence and
independence take the place of ner-
vous strain, fear and _ helplessness.
The students, perfectly capable of
caring for themselves, lead normal,
happy lives. By means of plates made
with faces like clocks they can eat
without being surprised at every bite.
With special dominoes and_ with
Braille they can play games and -read.
Most important of all, with their dogs
they can go wherever they please with
perfect assurance.

Most of the dogs used at the Seeing
Eye are females. Males are tried oc-
casionally, but they must be very

is given a three-day character test be-
fore it is accepted. The dogs are
usually put into training at the age of
fourteen months and are turned over
between the ages of eighteen and
twenty months. The favorite breed is
the German shepherd, although the
Chesapeake retriever, the Doberman
pinscher and the Labrador are some-
times used. The German shepherd,
however, learns quickly and is less
nervous. Before a dog is given to a
blind man, the temperament of. each
is carefully studied so that the man
may receive just the right dog.

The Seeing Eye. is the only school
of its kind in the €ountry. It main-
tains that for the protection of the
blind it is better to do good work at
Morristown than to cover more terri-
tory with a loss of efficiency. At pres-
ent more units are impossible because
it would be extremely difficult to dup-
licate the competent executives of the
school. There are one _ hundred
ninety dogs working now; eighty-five
will go out this year and one hundred
next year. The school keeps a volun-
tary supervision over its dogs in that
students continue to be in touch with
their instructors after leaving the
Seeing Eye. The demand for dogs is
terrific, but it is not the aim of the
school to give a dog to every blind
man and woman. Its attention is
centered in the interested, ambitious
blind_péople who, by means of dogs,
can actually achieve independence and
happiness.

him. We met twenty-six years ago
coming back from Europe, and I be-
came interested in him and knew noth-
ing of his work. Since our marriage
we have become a regular matrimonial
bureau. Over 100 people among the
volunteer workers who have gone up
to Labrador have met their future
mates and been married there—fifty
couples in all.”

Outside of Labrador, Lady Gren-
fell’s interests have been concentrated
primarily on two things: raising
money for the Grenfell Associations,
particularly through benefits, and
finding outlets for the Grenfell Labra-
dor Industries. “Three years ago in
the ballroom of the Copley in Boston
I ran a big bazaar which cleared
$8000 where we attempted all sorts of
features not used before, including
pictures of the Arctic regions and
model fishermen’s houses. Last year
we had as a Royal Benefit in London,
with the Duke and Duchess of York as
patrons, a cinema given through the
courtesy of the Gaumont-British Com-
pany. Mr. Jack Hurlburt, the famous
British actor, whose ridiculous picture,
Jack Ahoy, is the funniest I have ever
seen, made an appeal from the stage,
which helped us to clear, with the per-
formance and gifts, $10,000.

“As an outlet for the Grenfell Lab-
rador Industries we hired five years
ago an old farmhouse on Route 7 in
Vermont, called it the Dog Team Tav-
ern and sold the products of the mis-
sion there. But we found we couldn’t
lure the passerby except by-running.a
tearoom. The tourist must eat to buy.
Volunteers for the summer months do
all the work from waiting on table to
selling the products, except for the
cooking. We didn’t believe we could
trust even the Junior League with the
cooking. A friend gave us the money
for another Dog Team Tavern by the
River three miles from Middlebury,
Vermont, also on Route 7. The lo-
cation is attractive-and the tea room
is on a baleony at the back overlook-
ing the river. That is built, but
there is not a rag of furniture. rt

and pillowcases, towels, beds, rugs
and furniture, because there are ten
bedrooms for taking in the passing

ings. On the property of~the place

“Another friend of ours, Mrs. Bron-
son, of New Haven, gave us a lovely
old hous@¢ in Cheshire, Connecticut, for
the Connecticut Dog Team Tea Housey
One reason we were pleased to’ go
there is because Sir Wilfred’s birth-
place is in Cheshire, England, and this
makes a pleasant connection between
the new and the old worlds. Here too
we are in desperate need of silver-
ware, furniture and china. I will
gladly act as a depot and our truck
will call for any furnishings which
the students could spare or may leave
at the end of the year.

“The Industries were started to give
the women work. Like all fisherpeo-
ple, they ‘are very handy, but their
We fur-
nish the materials and pay them for
their work. It is a good way to dis-
tribute clothing, for Sir Wilfred is
bitterly opposed to the dole: Although
the people get a better value in cloth-
ing, they always have their choice of
clothing or money payments, because
you cannot exchange a petticoat for
butter at the settlement store. A man
in Labrador. who had nothing but tea
and bread for his family made twenty-
five gift match boxes and could buy a
whole winter’s supply of butter. It is
far better to give the people work to
keep them out of the hospital rather
than to patch them up afterwards.

We are very keen on the Industries |

as a prophylactic thing. In all five
of our hospitals we have adopted oc-
cupational therapy of this kind for
both the men and the women.

“At the moment. my particular in-
terest is a benefit performance of
opera. . Every year we have one in
New York, and this year we are ex-

tremely proud to offer Die Walkiire, |:

delphia are planning to go, and if we
can get over twenty we may be able
to secure reduced railroad rates.

“Winters in Labrador are really
much easier than the summers, for
when the sea is frozen the patients

workers there are not volunteers.
The permanent staff of doctors, nurses
and teachers are paid a small salary.
Dr. Charles Curtis is now medical
supervisor of Sir Wilfred’s hospitals
and nursing stations. His wife was
Miss Harriet Houghteling, of Bryn
Mawr; 1907, and a life-long friend of
mine. We have our own house in
Labrador and entertain vast numbers
of people during the summer. In the
summer the staff is sixty and every
Monday in July and August brings a
new steamboat load of 120 tourists

Current Plays Prove
Theatre Is Not Dead

Continued from Page One



cessful, In previous roles, Mr. Meri-
vale, has shown romantic presence
and ability in costume parts. He does
not slink on the stage and shrink into
a chair; he realizes that “locomotion
followed ky a squat” is not a drama-
tic entrance. But he was curiously
deficient in both Othello and Macbeth.

Othello is.a play difficult for both
actor and audience, as Iago’s motiva-
tion for hating Othello is confusing
to the audience. Mr. Merivale in no
wise overcame the discrepancies of
the plot by his acting, since he never
assembled and coérdinated the parts
of his role. Miss Gladys Cooper, a
charming English actress with the
“Palmolive, wind-swept, I’ve-just-
played-golf look,” played Desdomona
as badly as do most actresses.

Macbeth is a drama which should
play itself; but the actor must use his
mind constantly and cannot merely
recite, as Mr. Merivale did. .In the
“Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomor-
row” soliloquy and the Birnam Wood
scene, recitation rather ‘than interpre-
tation was particularly noticeable.

Modern Experiments

The most distinguished dramatic
attempt of the season is Maxwell An-
derson’s Winterset. Mr. Anderson is
one of the few playwrights who care
about the use of language; he believes
that poetry is the language of emo-
tion, and prose, the language of in-
formation. In Winterset, he has gone
back to an earlier, unsuccessful play,
inspired by the Sacco-Vanzetti case,
for his theme of individual justice.
Mr. Anderson”is never an optimist;
and the last act,)| wherein the rabbi
gives a “chin-up”™ $peech, is the weak-
est of the play. Injjlsuch a melodrama,
the action and lathguage have to be
perfectly united to be su@&essful; in
Winterset they are separated and this
makes for confusion. The actual pro-
duction, by Guthrie McClintic, is ex-
cellent. Burgess Meredith as _ the
hero and Richard Bennett as_ the
addle-pated judge, are admirable. The
Mielziner sets are most effective.

Porgy and Bess is a worthwhile
production, superior to the original
drama, Porgy. . Although some peo-
ple have criticized the music as being
too jazzy, Mr. Brown found the com-
bination of jazz and spirituals de-
lightful. Rouben Mamoulian, has,



by his direction, obtained a sense of



visual music, of “conducting for. the
eye.”

The essential spirit of the novel,
Pride and Prejudice, is retained in
the stage production. Colin Keith-
Johnston plays. Darcy so- well that
Jane Austen would claim him as her
own; and although Adrienne Allen is
too modern in costume, demeanor and
voice, she is spiritually akin to the
Elizabeth Bennet of the book.
Biography Blurred By Omissions

Victoria Regina is an adaptation of
Laurence Housman’s series of thirty
vignettes, with the number of scenes
reduced to twelve. The whole is de-
lightful, but one cannot help being
stupified by the omissions, especially
that of the period of Victoria’s great-
ness. Helen. Hayes gives her best
performance as Victoria, which is, as
Time suggested, a retrospective ‘sur-
vey of her previous parts. Her make-
up is superb; and with the exception of
the last two scenes, her characteriza-
tion is perfect. The Rex Whistler
sets give a sense of Victorian atroci-
ties and beauties which gain an elo-
quence greater than that of their own
day.

When Clifford Odets is writing as
himself, and not imitating Chekov, in
Paradise Lost, he proves himself the
most exciting and promising play-
wright since O’Neill. Odets has tried,
unsuccessfully, to employ Chekov’s
method of letting the characters “ex-
plode autobiographically.”

Dead End is admirably staged, with
Bel-Geddes sets, and—displays inter-
esting showmanship. Mr. Kingsley
believes that he is a realist, but like
most realists, he won’t admit that
one must distort life in order to show
it as one thinks it is. . He refuses to
believe that “the theatre is always
the art of telling a magnificent lie
and getting away with it.” The
script, supposed to combine the rich
and poor and to show that the streets
of New. York are the best prep-
school for gangsters, is uneven; but
the dialogue which Mr. Kingsley has
written for the urchins, gangsters
and prostitutes, shows an accurate
ear for line.

Parnell concerns itself with the di-
lemma of a man torn between love of
his country and love of Mrs. O’Shea.
The production has honesty, dignity
and passion.

Junior in Germany
Reports On Happenings



(Extracts from a letter from Lisa
Gratwick, who is in Munich.)

“When I think of you all at college
I get- the most peculiar feeling of
being horribly remote, but on the other
hand I wouldn’t change places for the
world. I can’t tell you what a thrill
it is to be actually living over here

. and not just passing through as so



many foreigners do. You really feel
yourself taken in and a part of every-
thing that happens.

“I suppose you have read ‘about the
celebration here on the 9th-of Novem-
ber, when the bodies of the men who
died fighting during Hitler’s first
“Putsch” were removed from the.vari-
ous cemeteries and placed in two
newly built temples, eight in each,

_ designed by Hitler, I think. The cere-

mony was beautiful to watch—torches
all along the main street, Hitler flags
at every window, crowds and crowds
of people from all over Germany lin-
ing the sidewalks and so_ thickly
packed by about 12 midnight that you
actually couldn’t even go across the
street.. In fact we stood on one corner
for about four hours, and even if we
hadn’t wanted to, we’d have ‘been
forced to by the mob. Troops and
troops of soldiers, S. S. men, S. A. men,
Hitler jugend, veterans, etc., filed by
steadily for three hours in the dead
of night—no drums, music or any-
thing—all perfectly solemn and tragic,
as those sixteen men are considered
the heroes of today’s Germany, and.
these people had come, some of. them
from miles away, to honor them.
Even when Hitler went by there, was
to be no “Heil Hitler,” but one or two
people couldn’t restrain themselves
from yelling and were quickly hushed.

“T have seen Hitler four or five times
quite close up, and Goebbels too. As
for Goring, he and his wife practically
ran over me in their car! Evelyn
Scattergood and I were gaping at him
from very. close quarters when his
chauffeur suddenly decided the crowd
was getting’a bit too thick and he
started the car with a lurch what would
have left some of us flat on the pave-
ment if we’d been an inch nearer.

I have been to about ten operas in
the last two months: some Italian
(Puccini and Verdi), but mostly Wag-
nerian. Richard Strauss himself con-
ducted “Tristan and Isolde.” The
Germans clap and clap until you’d
think their hands would drop off. I’ve
never seen such enthusiasm. One
night we stayed an hour after the
opera was over, listening to the peo-
ple clap their favorite orchestra lead-
er, Knappertsbusch, who had left soon
after the~ performance was over.
Finally the police were sent after him
and he was brought (from his home
probably) back to the theatre to make
one more bow! With student reduc-
tion, a good seat at the opera costs
not more than the equivalent of 50
cents—the same as movies in the
U. S.!

“The members of the Junior Year
Group are all very fine and certainly
representative of American colleges—
everything from Stanford University
in the west to Brown in the east, and
from Smith in the north, to Duke in
the south. There are twenty-eight. of
us in all. I don’t know how many will
come back, as already two sisters from
Smith have announced their intentions
of marrying and remaining here. I
doubt if these betrothals will evé¥ fa-
terialize into weddings, but that -is
not to say the Germans aren’t a very
attractive lot. As for social functions,
the International Students’ Club gives
a dance every Friday night; we
Juniors have a tea every Wednesday,
and at least once a month we go to the
Regina, the best place in Munich to
dance. Every Thursday night there
is a dance at the Hofbrau Haus and
everyone waxes very merry under the
influence of that wonderful beer! All
in all, Munich is very gay, especially
during “Fasching”—a series of fancy
dress balls which last for about two
months, beginning in January, and
you are disgraced if you attempt to go
to bed before four in the morning.

“During October, when the weather

+ was warm, Evelyn Seattergood and I

ade quite & few “Ausflugs” on our
bikes to Garmisch, Oberammergau

and other places, We saw the new



ter sports and I hope to be able to
see most of the events.

“Most of us Juniors live in families,
though two are never together.
of ‘us, however, live in regular pen-
sions.. I do both—I sleep in a pension
and have my meals with a family of
two. girls and two boys, on the floor
below. Very few Germans, in Munich,
at least, have homes of their own. For
Pthe *most part they live in flats of
about’ 4 or 5 rooms each. Even so, it’s
all just as home-like.and family-ish
as a private house could be. They’re
extremely interested in how things are
done in; America. Nearly every day
Herr ‘Klussmann gives us little sta-
tistics (all very carefully and proudly
worked out from his little-book-which-
has-everything-in-it) ‘about the rela-
tions between America and Germany
—the population, ancestry, tempera-
ture, alles! The family has a radio
(quite a luxury) and we all sit around
it talking, reading or sewing till about
nine, when -everyone begins to feel
sleepy and by 9.30 we're all abed un-
less we have some studying to do.
Frau Klussmann and her younger
daughter cook all the meals them-
selves and wait on the table—in fact
there is no servant. Their cooking
is excellent and as there are never
more than two courses and sometimes
only one, they don’t have to do much
scurrying around. Tonight, for in-
stance, we had some sort of pancakes
with raisins in them and jam for
syrup, tea and bread and butter
sandwiches. Yesterday we had for
supper thick vegetable soup and then
cold rice mixed with apricots. If you
don’t take at least three helpings Frau
Klussmann practically forces it down
your throat in her effort to make you
“salt”!

“Of course there’s nothing like the
luxury of America. We have central
heating here, though many of the
Juniors have only stoves in their
rooms. The hot water is the main
problem. They have to light the gas

someone you want a bath half an hour
before you really want it. Other days
we use the bowl and jug in our rooms,
containing COLD water. Then break-
fast is brought in—a roll or two and
tea—and by the time lunch comes
around you don’t need much urging
to take four helpings, particularly if
you’ve spent the morning trying to
take more or less comprehensive notes
on German lectures at the University.
Aber es geht schon, and, it’s a very
fine life indeed!”

Alice’s.” Despite the verbal conflict
between the two, “Tenderbutton”

and waiting for his friends to come
in for quips and bon mots so that he
could use them for copy.

The appearance of Bernard Shaw
thirty years from now was an hys-
terical moment. He flew on the stage
in a white satin angel robe with the
inevitable white beard, flowing in the
heavenly winds, and with very pink
and big bare feet. As usual he was
discontented. He said the people in
heaven bored him and he wished he’d
gone to the other place where there
was* more “hey! hey!” He beat the
air with his golden harp and sang,

“Oh P-shaw, oh P-shaw. .. . Utopia
is utterly too good to be good. It’s
too like London on a Sunday night”
and “Noel Coward has my mantle
now.”

A clever act for which Mr. Brown
writes the news every week was en-
titled The March of Rhyme. A very
idiotic news commentator appeared
in cap and gown. . He showed deep
insight into political situations in-
cluding Nazis and Roosevelts and
Ethiopians. Said he:

“If Mussolini’s seen pictures of
Addis Ababa

I should think he’d rather avoid
‘a than grab a.’ ”

Mrs. Roosevelt marched on -the
stage in fine patriotic style-after the
news reporter had run out. Mr.
Brown stated that they would never
have put her on as a puppet with
such disrespect if they had not the
greatest respect for her. In no un-
certain terms Mrs. Roosevelt enum-
erated her undertakings for her
native land and her freedom and her
“Thank God! My soul is not my own.”
During a recent performance of this
puppet woman off freedom, an Eng-
lishman was’ heard to remark
“Fawnecy anyone’s doing that to
Queen Mary.” Long live the ~girl
scouts!

After.a skillful duet was played by
Miss Nip and Miss Tuck, Mr. Bur-
nett sang the significant song
“Strings” which Mr. Brown had writ-
ten for him. The stage was left in
darkness ‘and the spotlight turned on
Mr. Burnett above who held in his
hands the strings of invisible puppets.
The ‘meaning -of the act is in the
words :“‘We know the answer, God
and I.”

After the performance was over
Mr. Brown and Mr. Burnett sang
clever songs from the musical come-
dies which they have staged so
successfully.

It is an amazing revelation to find
puppets so effective a medium for
beauty and grace as well as satire
and caricature. The perfection with
which the Yale Puppeteers perform
is worth a long eulogy. Suffice it to
say that each one of them performed
his part so cleverly and so well that
a huge audience was: held as en-
chanted by a puppet show as by a
straight theatrical performance. The
effort and the work, the skill-and the
minds behind these productions is
proved by the excellence of the whole
| as a finished work of art. We are



‘grateful to Mrs. Mallory for intro-

ducing the puppets to Phi

Students Teach English
To Teale Immigrants

Two evenings a week during the col-
lege year, groups of from two to six
girls go to the Community Center in
the village to teach English for an
hour to the Italian immigrants living
in Ardmore and Bryn Mawr. The stu-
dents are mainly working men who
are very eager to learn the English
language and to become good Ameri-
can citizens. They are therefore very
interested in American history and
also in politics. They want to know
about our government and, in return,

like to give their opinions on Musso#

lini and the Italian -problems.

They are all at different stages of
progress. Some have just come over
from Italy and can hardly speak or
understand a word of English. These
have to start from the very beginning.
There are others, however, who are
quite advanced and can read and
speak fluently. One student said ina
superior tone to a new teacher who
had just asked him to count from one
to ten, a thing far: beneath his dig-
nity, “I learna Eenglish for a coupla
years and I tink I speak preety good.
I tink now I lika learn a leetla
French!” ;

They are all terribly anxious to
learn to “speak American,” as they
say, and enjoy coming to the school
immensely. They are always very
disappointed when told that there will
not be any more classes because of
examinations or holidays.

Our elderly lady, Mr. Samuel
Arthur King’s charwoman, has at-
tended the classes regularly and has
been living in America for nearly
twenty years. Although she can now
speak English fluently, she enjoys the
classes so much that she still comes,
and insists on her own special teacher.

Some of the students who arg par-
ticularly eager to become préficient
attend the night school at Ardmore
part of the week and then come to the
Bryn Mawr Community Center the
other two days.

This year there are about twelve
pupils who come quite regularly. Un-
fortunately, however, there are never







enough ‘teachers to provide one for
each student—the most rapid method,
since most of the men are at differ-
ent stages. This has not been pos- ,
sible so fay, and there is great need
of more regular teachers to continue
the work

American Participation in Olympics
Newark, N. J.—Forty American
educators, presidents of colleges in
27 states, have joined in a request to
the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United. States and the Ameritan
Olympic Committee for withdrawal of
American participation in the 1936
Olympic games in Berlin. +

Announcement of the educators’
stand was made by Frank Kingdon,
president of Dana College, Newark.
It was accompanied by a statement
setting forth reasons for requesting
American withdrawal and signed by
the forty college presidents,

“It is our considered judgment,” the
statement says, “based upon the rec-
ord of events that have transpired in
Germany for the past two and a half
years, that the inequalities and dis-
crimination practiced against Jews,
Catholics, Protestants, labor, Masons
and all independents are perpetuated
in the field of sports and in the Olym-
pic games.

“We believe further that these
games are being used by Nazi Ger-
many as an instrument for the propa-
gation of her ideals, which represent
the destruction of democratic and pro-
gressive society. .. .

“We believe that the Americans
should refuse to take part in the
games, and that such refusal will
serve to elevate and preserve sport
and the sporting spirit.” (—ACP)

Ideal Nazi Virtues
Alien to Christian
Dr. Wells Reviews Attempts

To Form National Chureh
On Nordic Ideals





ALL JUDAISM REJECTED



Common Room, January 8: — Dr.
Wells took his text from the Gospel
of St. Matthew in addressing the
members of the International Rela-

tions Club; he spoke on “Things That
Are Gaegar’s.” He reviewed the re-
“cent history of the Church in Ger-
many, describing the various aims of
the religious parties and the attitude
of the Government to the question.

The most important exponent of the
new religion is Rosenberg who is
known as a controvertialist and a
journalist of the first rank. He sees
the aim of the new church as:a restor-
ation of the old Nordic influences and
the liberation from foreign elements.
Christianity and the National Social-
ist religion are fundamentally op-
posed; on the one hand is a belief in
the brotherhood and equality of men
and the primary virtues of humility
and hope, while on the other is the
importance of the race and the nation
as created by God, with the belief in
courage and power.

Before 1919 there were many ties

between Church and State, but there,

were several different sects of Protes-
tants besides the Catholics and the
Jews. There were Evangelical Luth-

|



erans and Calvinists, as well as the {defined at first; as stated in 1920, the
free Protestants, including. Metho-| menibers. believed in a “positive Chris*

dists, Baptists and
Actually, the Government was in con-
trol of the ecclesiastical purse, and
might shut off revenue in order to
bring the Church to terms. In educa-
tion also the Church and State were
closely connected.

With the Protestants divided into
sects, the Catholic was the only united
church; but when ‘Hitler came to
power, an attempt was. made to unite
the’ Evangelical Churches. At pres-
ent, however, the. beliefs of the vari-
ous religious parties differ so greatly
that it is almost impossible to recon-
cile them. The German Faith Move-
ment is a return to-paganism and is
the most radical. It plans to do away
with Christianity, but the members
are not agreed as to the extent of the
return to the old Teutonic beliefs.
The Movement is supported by some
of the most prominent men in Ger-
many and has a membership of sev-
eral hundred thousand. The German
Christians are a regularly -organized
party who wish to revise the doctrines
of Christianity. They stand against
all aspects of Judaism and would re-
ject most of the Bible, including the
teachings of Saint Paul, whom they
consider too Jewish. They are divided
on the subject of Christ. The Ortho-
dox Group, the Confessional Synod,
want a non-racial Christianity,
though they do not oppose the Na-
tional-Socialist policies, and approve
the persecution of the Jews on a re-
ligious basis.

The attitude of National-Socialist.

In 1933 in a speech in the
‘Reich, Hitler recognized Catholics
and Protestants, and announced that
| neither group would be disturbed. Al-
though this is the official attitude,
there are strong rumors that the gov-
ernment hopes to establish a single

being done through the regimentation
of the youth in Germany, and that such
a religion probably will be based on
Protestantism, appropriately modified,
and flavored with some Neo-Pagan ele-
ments. Such a Church will not be
formed in the immediate future.

In spite -ef. the announced impar-
tiality of the government, it was never
expected that the State would not
exert some sort of pressure on the
nonconformists. Catholics have been
more or less persecuted for some time;
indeed, Von Hindenburg himself pro-
tested against the oppression of the
Catholics before the Saar elections.
| They were somewhat pacified by the
Concordat of 1933 with the Pope, by
which the Church agreed that there
should be no political. activity by its
members, and the State promised that
the political rights of the Catholics
should not be disturbed. Since then
disputes have arisen over the carry-
ing out of the agreement, when Cath-
olic bishops began to assail pagan
teachings; and there have been some
obvious attempts .at discrimination
against them: The most serious mat-
ter was that of the accusation against
the Catholics of sending money out of
the country contrary to the foreign
exchange law. The secret police have

Hofius who claimed to be an exchan:;c

The man himself has disappeared, but
the papers remain, and cunstitute the

against the Catholics. a

Musical Comedies

One’s like or dislike of the musical
comedy, At Home Abroad, depends
ip n how one feéls about Beatrice
i. lie, who has the rare gift of saying
the most, un-immaculate lines,so that .
‘if you laugh, it is your fault for
understanding them.” .In At Home
Abroad she has excellent material
with which to work. Jubilee is a bit
disappointing because it is not a sa-
tirical musical comedy; but it has a
Soglow quality which redeems it.

Jumbo, the “Hattie Carnegie” of
circuses, played in the old” Hippo-
drome transformed by Johnston into
a Yale, Harvard or: Princeton bowl in
red velvet, is to be recommended most
heartily. It is an amazing feat of
showmanship, in which Jimmy Du-
rante is fortunately soon forgot.

Ghosts, with Alla Nazimova, is the
best ~ production of Ibsen _ since
Blanche Yurka’s version of The Wild
Duck. Mme. Nazimova has’ one of the
most haunting stage’ personalities of
our day.

Dr. Fenwick Says:

Poor old AAA! It meant ‘every-
thing to the farmers in the ‘West, al-
though there were some cheers in the
east when the Supreme Court. did
away with,it. The blue eagle was a
sick bird, and everyone was tired of
it by the time the Supreme Court
chopped off its head—there was a lit-
tle whimpering by the American Fed-
eration of Labor, but that was all:

But now the middle-western farmers
are trying to decide how they will get
around the decision of the Supreme
Court which argued that Congress has
no authority to tax the processors and
use the money for a program of crop-
limitation. Well, the answer is very
simple. They’re going to ask Con-
gress to pass two laws. First they’re
going to tax the processors, just be-
cause its good for them, not saying
anything in the law about what the
money’s going to be used for—and
then just put the proceeds treasury and mix it-up with all the
other money.

Then they’re going to start an en-
tirely different big program of soil
conservation. This country has al-
‘ways gone in for soil conservation in
a big way. The government isn’t
going to enter into any contract with
the farmer: they’re going to ask him
not to plow his land up for wheat,
but to let it stand in grass to prevent
dust storms. When the top-soil from
Kansas. blows into Missouri,-or even
east into Pennsylvania, it certainly
is not a local issue. So the govern-
ment isn’t going to say anything
about crop-limitation, which the Su-







fields and thus keeping dust out of the

eyes of the people of the middle west.
It will be interesting to watch and see

| whether the Supreme Court will be

able to declare these laws unconsti-
tutional.

Now I said I’d talk about neutrality
laws. There are at the present time
two bills—the Pitman-McReynolds,
which is the Administration’s bill, and
the Nye-Clarke-Maverick Bill. Three
months ago it was expected that these
bills would be divergent, but now their
difference is only a matter of stress.

The difference was that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hull wanted to
make Congréss give the President
latitude of judgment in order not to
defeat- possible boycotts of the League
of Nations. The Nye-Clark-Maverick
B:l1l would have made the law more
mandatory, to prevent entanglement
in any League sanction scheme. But
the Administration knew that Con-
gress would not. pass its bill, and the
provisions have been modified so that
they are now very similar to those of
the other neutrality bill. Both abso-
lutely stop exportation of arms, am-
munition and instruments of war, and
place limitations on. the exportation
of other key raw materials, based on
a quota of the normal exportation to
the country in question for the last

five years,

I think they are both wrong. The
normal amount is enough to defeat
sanctions of the League if the coun-
try which needs the commodity tight-
ens its belt, and the failure of eco-
nomic sanctions will drive the coun-
tries of the League to use military
sanctions such as blockades, which
would be much more likely to lead to
war. If war is declared, it spreads

Richards Opens Flexner
Lectures Series Feb. 10





Mr. I, A. Richards, M. A., Litt. D., |

and Fellow of Magdalene College,
Cambridge, will deliver the first of
his series of addresses for the Flex-
ner Lectureship on Monday, Febru-
ary 10, at 8.20 in Goodhart Hall. The
general subject for all his lectures is

The Interpretation of Prose. Under
this head will be discussed in the
course of the various talks: Com-

municative efficiency and the losses in
ordinary reading and conversation.
| The varied aims of discourse and
| their rivalries. - The place of metaphor
in thought. The theory of metaphor.
Rigid (or scientific) and fluid (or
literary) expression. The modes of
description and explanation and their
criticism. |§ Nonsense. Definiteness,

.| has defined as the critic’s task and

vividness and “correctness.” The mis-
leading influence of the doctrine of
usage. The criteria of words. Trans-
lation theory and the social implica-
tions of the study of interpretation.

“The domigant ‘interest of Mr. Rich-
ards’ study has been the thorough ex-
ploration of ‘the intricacies of the
‘modes of the language as working
modes of the mind.” This he himself

this he has successfully accomplished
in his analysis of poetry. Since he
considers that “poetry is the supreme
use of language,” he first devoted his



centvof the class of 1935 and 15 per}

attention to it, but he has now turned
to the.criticism of prose. His lectures
| will therefore combine the surety of
| well-established principles and the

\freshness of investigation in new
| fields.
At Cambridge University, . Mr.

Richards has always been popular,
while during a visiting professorship
at Harvard, he roused his students to
'a rare pitch of enthusiasm. He has
| published many books which are
equally stimulating; among them are
Coleridge on the Imagination, printed
last year; Science and Poetry, and
Principles of Literary Cr**'cism.



Mrs. Richards rivals her husband
in fame, but in afar different field. |
She has a passion for mountain climb- |
ing and has not only scaled many lofty |
peaks, but also written charming ae
counts of her exploits. While they |
are both here Miss Park will arrange:
for her to lecture on her mountain |
experiences to those who prefer moun- |
tains to metaphor.

We were edified to learn that the
fame of the Bryn Mawr\ French De-
partment has been spread far and
wide. This department recently re-
ceived a telegram from Edna St. Vin-
cent Millay asking for a translation
of some lines of Baudelaire, the trans-
lation to be sent by telegram collect.

The three lines in question are from
Baudelaire’s Les Litanies de Satan:
Toi qui'mets dans les yeux et dans le

coeur des filles.

Le culte de la plaie et l'amour des
guenilles;
O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue
misére!

ment jumped 1800. (—ACP)
