PROKOSCH LEADS
DANCE PROGRAM

Cloisters Furnish Artistic
Background for New
Interpretations.

‘COSTUMES BY PERERA

“(Specially contributed by B. Ling, 25)

On Friday. evening, the” sixth of
May, a fairly large audience saw Miss
Gertrude Prokosch’s class in some
‘dances composed ‘and directed by her.

*The first, and in some ways perhaps

. the most interesting thing, was the
medieval Dance of Death dona ina
series of scenes reealling - Holb@in’s
woodcuts, the Dance of Death told the
Middle Age of the swiftness of death’s
‘coming and of its coming to all alike.

This was felt by the dancers and: they |

often expressed it with poignance and
some sense of drama. After the first
scene where Death, heralded by
Trumpeters, was shown triumphing
Over an emperor, came one of the most
beautiful of all* the dances—that of
Death and the Queen. Miss Hollander,
as the queen, danced with a fine sense
of character; she was gracious and
dignified, and when she and Miss Pro-
-kosch, wearing thegplumed hat of
Death, the courier, danced together,
they combined in a lovely, flowing
movement.

Maidens Were Graceful

The three maidens whom Death sur-
priséd at play danced daintily and
gaily. Of them Miss Trask was par-
ticularly - graceful. One wondered
‘whether it’ would not have madesfor a

_ pitiful. contrast had the Lover, Death,
singled out one of the maidens and left
the others to dance a while longer.

Death’s dance with the gypsy and
with the jester showed wild and whim-
sical spirits brought to silence. Miss
Perera, as the jester, gave the most
dramatic performance of the evening.
She was very touching as she tried to
divert Death by the tricks and gambols
that had served to divert the king and
her final surrender held nothing of sub-
mission. The abandon of Miss Glov-
er’s gypsy dance was a moment of
pure joy, and life that seemed to have
no part in this tragic play. It was
this, of course, that made it pitiful.

The Dance of Death and the child
gave us a charming young actress in
Miss Elfrida Mahler. In the scene of
Death and. the Nun, Miss Phyllis Wie-
gand gave us one of the most pictorial
moments of the evening looking, as
she did, like a piece of late Spanish
polychrome sculpture.

After the Dance of Death, Miss
Prokosch interpreted a Bach Concerto
with a ritual dance of majesty and

* grace,

The second part of the program be-

gan with a dance by Miss Prokosch

called “Gold,” in which she looked like:

a princess out of a Persian minia-
ture. Miss Haley, in a dance entitled
“Silver,” which she herself composed,
was graceful, twinkling, brittle. She
was Silver and besides -that, she was
wanton spring.

Group Dances Most Successful
.The group of dances representing the

elements consisted of two solos, “Fire”
and “Air” and two ensembles, “Earth”
and “Water.” The group dances were
most successful—the one being quite
beautiful, the other most ingenious. As
“Air,” Miss Alice Glover was, like pa
gust of wind in April; anything more
delicate, more spirited, could hardly be
‘ imagined. Miss Prokosch, as “Fire,”
was terrifying, a leaping, flickering
force, a veritable Logi. -

The evening concluded with an In-
dian ceremonial which provided an in-
teresting contrast. .

The costumes, designed by Miss Per-
era, seemed, to the writer, not only
beyond reproach, but.an integral part
of the performance. One particularly
“remembers the prosey gown of the

aidens, and the. ve ke I

- - Wins Contest

FINALS ON SATURDAY

Frederica de Laguna, 1927's Euro-
pean Fellow and_ record-smashing
scholar, has added another leaf to her
laurels by winning the Bryn’ Mawr
heat of the New York Times Current
Events Contest. «.[--we- fifty dollars is the material reward for
this achievement, in. addition to the
honor accruing therefrom. We are now
banking on Miss de Laguna’s going on
to win the final heat of the contest,
the winners from 19 different colleges
competing with ea¢th other on Satur-
day, May 14. The conqueror of this
final field receives an additional $500
from the generous New York Times.
The Harvard student who won the
contest last-year has again qualified as
the representative of that institution,





so that Miss de Laguna will have a,

worthy pacemaker..

Cornelia Rose, ’28, came a very close
second in the Bryn Mawr contest, and
honorable mention was awarded to
Margaret Perry, 28, and Frances Put-
nam, ’28. The contest was in three
a true ,and false section; 20
names to be identified, and 20 topics,
each of which was to be written on
for a period of three minutes. The
Bryn Mawr committee consisted of
Dr. C. J. Fenwick, Dr. W. R. Smith,
Dr. M. P. Smith, Dr. Crenshaw and
Dr. S. C. Chew, who both made out
and marked the papers.

Juniors Make Good

Archers, Meet Proves

The Archery Meet, held on Saturday,
was won by the undefeatable light
blue team—they made 226 hits, scoring
1146 points. Second place went to
"30, and third to ’29.

Fortunately for the archers, the
weather was favorable, there being
neither too much sun or wind. V. At-
more, ’28, captain of varsity, won the
individuals, with a score of 63-381,
with M. Barber, 29, and J. Paxon, ’30,

VARSITY: DEFEATED
| AT POUGHKEEPSIE
Vassar Wins in Exhibition

Tennis by Rapid Playing .
in Doubles :~

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS







Vassar College, by a small margin,
triumphed over Bryn Mawr in the ten-
nis matches at Pdéughkeepsie last Satur-
day, winning the deciding doubles contest
in the last of three hard- fought sets.
The vietory, however, in no way de-
cided the championship, as the rules
permit playing with other colleges oy
in exhibition matches.

As an exhibition, the spectacle staged
by the Bryn Mawr singles champions,
Miss Pitney and Miss Bethel, was highly
satisfactory. Miss Pitney’s Opponent in
the singles was Miss Nancy Nicolia, ’28,
who in the opening game displayed some
hard, strong shooting which rivalled Miss
Pitney’s own. ‘The games was an ener-
getic and lively one on both sides, but
the Bryn Mawr champion’s endurance
eventually wore out her opponent. Miss
Pitney won the first sets 6-4, and lost
the second by the same score. But in the
last set Miss Nicolai was nervous and
erratic, with the result that Miss Pitney,
playing with undiminshed vigor, took
six straight games.

Miss Bethel, who arrived late in the
morning after taking taking a German
oral at Bryn Mawr, defeated Miss. Vir-

Lginia—Platt:27;- with tittle difficulty, 6-2,

6-3. Miss Platt, who was suffering from
a strained ankle, was unable to stand up

against the twin’s strong and_ steady
game.
O. Stokes, ’30, although in better than

usual form, suffered defeat at the hands
of (player who lives solely on tea and veg-
etables. The final score was 6-4, 6-4,

In the last of the singles matches
M. Claverius, ’28, defeated C. Swan, ’29,
the fourth member of the Bryn Mawr
team, by the score of 6-2 6-4.. The
match was characterized by less vigor-
ous hitting than in the other matches,
although Miss Swan’s forehand drive
was in splendid form.

With two singles matches won_ by
each college, the doubles (although pure-
ly exhibition) were especially thrilling.
Miss Pitney and Miss Stokes, playing
together against Miss Nicolai and Miss
Reubel, lost the first set, won the second,
and after bringing the score to four all
in the third, dropped the last two games
amid the cheers of the Vassar grand-
stand. The: Bryn Mawr players, consid-
ering their inexperience in playing to-
gether, co-operated very well, and at
first succeeded in foiling the attempts of
their opponents to play a net game. Miss
Pitney’s skillful lobbing greatly contrib-
uted to this, and during most of the
match the balls were kept high in the
air. In the last set, however, Vassar’s
champions began to be successful in
their attack, and Miss Stokes and Miss
Pitney weakened, losing. the set which
decided Vassar’s superiority

The Bryn Mayr players, interviewed
on their impressions of Vassar, were en-
thusiastic over the accommodations
which were given them in Main Hall.
They stated that Vassar had beautiful

GENERAL IDEA OF
RELIGION FALSE









Spiritual Beauty Takes Place

of Religion in Language of
Present Day



BEAUTY LIFE’S GOAL

The Reverend Alexander MacColl, of



the Second Presbyterian Church, Phila-
delphia, used for the subject of his ser-
mon Suiday evening, May. 8, the words
“Religion is the supreme means of dis-
covery and development of beauty in
life.”

Many men and women think of reli-
gion as a kind of puzzle of human life;
a means of appeasing the wrath or win-
ning the favor of an Unseen God. Youth
thinks it adequately described as the

“Mosaic killjoy of the medievals,” and

because young people do not respond to
the age-worn word
substitute is supplied for them in the
word “beauty;” not only the ” physical
beauty of material things, .but the spir-
itual beauty of God and all that He has
created.

Why did David i in writing the twenty-
third psalm say “I shall dwell in the

house of the Lord forever?” Because he

loved beauty and knew that there he
could behold visions of God, and inter-
pretation of the meaning of life, and
look upon untold horizons of opportu-
nity. It is in this very task that the
Church often fails; it does not make
religion attractive. It represents it as
concerned with gloomy, forbidding rules
and regulations, instead of with life
itself,

The test of the reality of religion is
whether or not it is making the world
progressively beautiful. If it is not, then
it is not true religion, for “only religion
misconceived can draw us away from
beauty.” The task that Jesus found Him-

self confronted with when He came on.

earth was to bring about the transforma-
tion of a world permeated with physical
ugliness. Everywhere He went He saw
the outward manifestation, of an inward
sordidness. In consequence, He showed
the possible transfiguration of sorrow and
the blessedness of poverty; He preached
the nonexistence of death and ultimately
gave Himself that perfect beauty of
character might be “painted upon the
canvas of life.”

The task of us who come after Him,
therefore, is to gd out into the common
duties of every day life and by our in-
fluence make them more beautiful. By
doing so we may build up for ourselves
a weapon against which any form of ug-
liness /will have little effect. For “Beauty
is the goal of the Christian life.”

“IT shall try to interpret the sila
situation. in China,” said Dr. Rufus
Jones speaking in the chapel on Tues- °
day evening in Taylor. “Upon. first sight
China would appear to be in a hopeless
muddle. Besides being all at sea, the
newspapers present only a prejudiced
view point. Their over- emphasis of the
Soviet influence in China makes the
situation appear even worse. In reality
this is an uprising and coming to ¢on-
sciousness of a great people. The right
solution of the problem of the Orient is
the most important issue before the
world today,’

‘The first thing to get at is the state
of mind over’ there, according to Dr,
Jones. In recent years, large numbers of
young Chinese men have gone to Amer-
ican colleges and to missionary schools ;
and they have come out with their ideas
of western civilization greatly altered.
The main trouble is that China has just
become aware of being treated differently
from any other nation in the world, The
Chinese see their autonomy held by for-
eigners, their tariffs being collected by
other nations, foreign warships up their
rivers. foreigners making their own
laws, and the natives being atrociously
treated. They did not use to resent this
interference and bad treatment; now
they feel angry and humiliated.

Five great revolutions” are under way
in China. The most striking is the po-
litical one.’"The change is from a mo-
narchical system to one of complete
self-government. Next in importance is
the literary one: hitherto their ideals
and aspirations have had to be expressed
through the old classical language, now

World Needs Faith and
Individual Happiness

“The sure foundation of a Golden
Age lies in the satisfied éondition of the
individual,” said Dr. Cadbury speaking
in chapel on Friday, May 6. But it is’
almost impossible for us, who live in
a country free from such discomforts as
sand storms and intense tropical heat, to
visualize the difficulty of attaining such
a condition.

We, of the present day and yage, are
living at a time when .men are® rapidly
losing all faith in human nature. One
of the distinctly detrimental elements is
the influence of the newspapers, which
do not, in the least, remind us that we
have any means-‘at hand of making life
worth while.

Science Is Disillusioning
Science, ever a disillusioning factor in

life, is contiually giving us an extraordi-
nary view of our own insignificance. And
then again, the realistic literature writ-
ten af present . attempts to portray, not
what is best, but what is worst! in man.

What, then, are ‘the achievements that
man should hold before him? In the
first place, man is endowed with the fac-
ulties of judgment and ability for which
employment be found if a condition of
complete satisfaction is to be attained.
Secondly, man needs a sense of disinter-
ested moral integrity and virtue. And
thirdly, there is a tremendous need in the
world for persons of understanding and
sympathy.

ARE ORALS WORTH IT?
Last spring fifty-four Juniors
failed their German .Ordls; this
year, the fatal number was only
eleven. Elementary German at 8
o’clock in the morning, a two-hour
course with enough work for five,
hours of individual study and
dollars spent on special tutoring
have done their work. What
though the whole year was one
continuous struggle with'a diction-
ary, though all other lessons had
to be slighted, and for the last
month, completely neglected ;
though fair brows became lined
and hairs turned ‘gray—the class
of ’28 has acquired its reading
knowledge. of German, however
fragmentary. 2
Was the long struggle worth
it? Has the sacrifice of so large
a part of the pleasantest -yedr in
college been compensated by the
ability to “read French and Ger-
man at sight?” Of course there
is a tremendous satisfaction in-
volved,in having passed the Oral
and acquired, more or less, a new
language; but it seems to us that
there are plenty of other uses to
which we: could have put those
hours. Few of us come to college
to learn German; we came to
study English or History or Sci+
ence or Mathematics. All that
time spent on studying for the
Oral for which we got no college
credits, undoubtedly injured our
work in the subjects with which
we were more concerned. If our
families had wisely had. us study
the language when we _ were
young, if German had been re-
quired for entrance work like
French, or if we had been forced
to take a college course in which
the work would have counted, we
should feel far less aggrieved. As
it is, all pleasure in passing the
. Orals is vitiated by the thought of
that horrible. pile of two months’
work that must be done in a week,

What Do You Think
of the Year’s Lecturers?

The college authorities are very
anxious to find out just what the col-
lege likes in the way of lecturers. The
fund for this purpose is limited, and it
has to be divided fairly between the
various departments.. There are three
foundation lectures a year in addition
to others. Miss Park, in a chapel
speech recently, said that these lec-
tures should supplement the Under-
graduate Association lectures; they
should be more academic, more closely
connected with the work of the college
itself. What does the college think of
the lecturers?
Below are printed a list of all the
lectures given this year with the
speakers’ names. Only a few of them
are college lectures. That fact is in-
dicated by a C; U is for Undergradu-
ate Association, S for Science Club and
F for French Club, C A for the Chris-
tian Association. Check your prefer-
ences on the list and cross those lec-
tures which you feel might easily have
been-:omitted. Cut this out and drop it
in the News box on the second floor
of Taylor before the end of this week.
Do not put it in the Dean’s box which
is nearby. :

"28 Wins Twice in a Week
bi Field Stars for Juniors

- On Tuesday ’28, playing a constantly
aggressige game, defeated ’27 by a
seore of 4-2. Although ’27 hgs speeded
tip since last week, they were forced to
play @ defensiye game by the. even
faster light blue team. Newbold was
good at goal, but Field, ’28’s star for-
ward, played a very successful game,
making two out of the four goals. Her
first one was made immediately after
the. ball was put into play at the be-
sbnin of the game. ;

28° Barély Beats ’29
By far the most exciting’ game of the
season was that between ’28 and ’29 on
Thursday. The score was 3-2 in favor
of ’28. From the first the game was
hotly contested, although the playing
was somewhat messy., Both teams
played a fast game with constant and
rapid, if not very accurate, passing.
’28’s forward line, particularly Field,
surpassed that of '29. This was, appar-
ently, the deciding factor in an other-
wise exceedingly close game, ..
’28—C. Field,. J. Huddleston, E. Co-
hoe, J. Young, M. Gaillard, J. Stetson,
H. Tuttle.
°29—R. Wills, E. Bryant, B. Free-
man, K. Balch, C. Swan, J. Eshner, N.
Woodward.



28-29 Second Team Game |
The second team game, Thursday,
was another feather in ’28’s cap. Line-

ups:

’298-—-E. Cohoe, H. Guiterman, E.
Stewart, M. Fowler, P. Pettit, E.
Dykeman.

’29—R. Bryant, L. Morganstern, B.
Humphreys, J. Porter, E. Moran, S.
Bradley, V. Buel.

The score of this game was 6-3 in
favor of the juniors, On Tuesday, ’27
defaulted to '28.



29, Rallying, Defeats ’30

After a rather sloppy start, ’29 won
from ’30 in the second half of the game
on Tuesday by a score of 5-0. _Al-
though ‘the. sophomores’ teamwork
was fair and they were able to swim
circles around the freshmen in point of
speed, they made no goals at all in the
first half. Their forward line simply
did not function; they bunched, did not
take their opportunities to shoot, and
when they did shoot, missed. But in,
the second half they rallied beautifully
and made five goals in rapid succes-
sion. °30’s teamwork was, as_ usual,
their chief fault and lost the game for
them. Their forward line does not get
into place, so that when the backs
throw the ball, there is no one to re-
ceive it.
. ’29—E, Bryant, B. Freeman, J. Esh-
ner, A. Dalziel, N. Woodward, K.
Balch, J. Porter.

*30—E. Houck, M. Dean, K. Rich-
ardson, F. Pettus, L. Littlehale, C.
Peckman, K. Hirshberg.



Seniors Pile Up Score
Newbold Stars vs. ’30

On Thursday ’27 overwhelmingly
defeated ’30 in a game that was almost
entirely one-sided. ‘The score was 10-0.
’27 played a faster game than they
have so far-this season. Their shoot-
ing was excellent,.and Newbold, their
long-armed goal, forestalled all the at-
tempts of the freshmen to score,

and when they did throw, they placed

things even easier for ‘the seniors by
constantly leaving her place unpro-
téted.

“a. new practical one: is being worked
out,
The two most important factors ac- |

counting for the present state of mind
are the disillusion attending the scramble.
and selfishness of the western world
after the “war to end war,” and vastly
more serious, the three blundering: sho -

of Sun Yat Sen has grown up the Na-

‘tionalist movement, which is not Com-

munistic in any sense, 4

PEAKING frankly, who cares a fig for bore and stroke,

cubic displacement and all of that.

is the one that slips through traffic like an All-American

_ halfback wriggles through a broken field; turns on a
dime with nine cents change and pops into a parking
space with a hair's breadth clearance front and rear.

To match the spirit of American youth a motor car must
have ‘It.’ ‘‘It’’ is the ability to chase the horizon all
day without panting; smart good looks that do credit
to the intelligence of its owner and riding comfort that °

wins a sigh of complete ease.

That’s why the Erskine Six Custom Coupe is taking , .
America’s youth by storm. Style conceived in Paris—
design by Dietrich, the master designer—speed that lets 2
you decide whether or not the car behind will pass. And,
will it stand up? Studebaker builds ic—Q.E. D. -

Take possession of an Erskine Six today. Drive it over
roads other car§ fear. Forget the gearshift lever. Revise
all your notions of motoring. You're riding in a car
that has set a new pace for others to try and follow.

The Erskine Six Custom Coupe, as illustrated, sells for $993 f. 0. b. factory,
complete with front and rear bumpers and self-energizing q-whel brakes. .
