Mr. S. A. King Gives
Shakespearean Recital |’
Traditional Gestures and Pure

IN “WITCHES”
CLIMAX
John Drinkwater once said that
statesmen and politicians should read
a little Shakespeare every day. With
May Day so near, this is equally good
advice for Bryn Mawr, and it: was
with this in mind that we heard a
Shakespeare recital by Mr. Samuel Ar-
thur King last Tuesday night. Mr.
ling reminded us that the full effect °
of Shakespeare’s blank verse-can only~
be attained by giving due recognition
to its construction. In reciting the
ten-syllable lines, accented on the sec-
ond, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth
syllables, one must keep the “impres-
sion of alternate accents,’ and one
must not overlook the legato effect
where certain consonants are slurred
over to the next word. Legato was
used in Mr. King’s first selection—
Buckingham’s Farewell from “Henry
VIII,” the speech which made Forbes-
Robertson famous—and its. impres-
siveness is helped by the extra sylla-
ble at the end of a line being an
emphatic monosyllable.
“The second piece was the descrip-
tion of Queen Mab from “Romeo and
Juliet,” an example of the traditional
rendering of description handed down
from the days of Kemball to Walter
Lacey, the effect lying in the onomat-
apoeia.- For all those who, tired of
the old manner of presentation, are
ever trying to start innovation in the
acting of Shakespeare, Southern once
said that true art is premeditated.
“It does not do to despise tradition,”
and this is “worthy of contemplation
even by born actors.” Mr. King then
recited Clarence’s dream from “Rich-
ard III.” The dream is told to evoke
horror, and in order that -the voice
may achieve this there are great
“numbers of vocal consonants upon
which the voice may linger. From
“As You Like It’ Mr. King did the
seven ages of man, a speech which’
has inspired illustrators of all years.
The scene of the witches from “Mac-
beth” followed—the most interesting
piece on the program, because Mr.
King’s vibration and high pitch of
voice gave it all the eeriness of su-
pernatural beings. Shakespeare. prob-
ably wrote this with full conscious-
ness of its sound effects, for in’ the
first grammar, written by Ben Jon-
son in 1584 and now in the British
Museum, is found a chapter on the

Dr. Schumann Speaks
on Music of the East
Pentatonic Scale Necessitates
Simplicity of Instruments
Though Music is Varied
TONE VALUES BIG AID
“Oriental amusic from Tunis to
Japan” was the subject.of Dr. Hans
Schumann’s lecture on February 25.
Dr. Schumann, who is Professor of:
Music at the University of: Pennsyl-
vania, was introduced by Miss -Petts.
To us, he said, the music of the
Near- and Far-East seems strange,
far away from our mentality, from
our :emotions and our expression of
them. The Oriental musician does
not, as we do, hear sounds in their
vertical connection; he hears only |
horizontally in a melodic line. Even
when: two melodies. are combined,
there is no accidental chagd structure
as in the polyphonic music of Bach
and Palestrina. What interests the
Oriental are the tone values in them-
selves, not. the intervals, or what is
between. the tones. Emotionally, F
sharp is always the same, although
by pushing higher or lower its treat-
ment is varied. Thus, if there is
“oneness” in the harmonic sense, the
opposite is true in-the dynamic sense.
It is natural that in a musical sys-
tem whose basis is the pentatonic
scale, the instruments will be far sim-
pler than those required by a system
such a8 ours, which adds chromatic
to diatonic usage. As a matter of
fact, most of the instruments now
used in the East have had their pres- ;
ent character for some.3000 years.
But, as Dr. Schumann illustrated
by means of records, there is a great
variety within Oriental music; < its
strangeness augments as we progress
East. Egyptian music, for example,
with its minor melody, though chief-
be heard in Spain and Southern Italy.
The Dervish song, used for religious
dancing, is perhaps the best illustra-
tion of the mentality of Islam as a
whole; the soloist and chorus—the
latter repeat continually—quicken the
tempo of the monotone as the dance
progresses, until it culminates with |
the dancer foaming at the mouth,
and falling to the ground in a faint.

Dr. Lake Grants an
Interview to News
After Giving Details of His Life,
Dr. Lake. Told His Bryn
Mawr Impressions
DISCUSSES U. S. COLLEGES
Dr. Lake in. an interview with a
reporter from. the NEWS last week
sketched briefly his personal history.
To those who knew his daughter,
Nan Lake, Bryn Mawr, 1930, and
graduate student here last year, it
may be a surprise to learn that Dr.
Lake is a European by birth and
education. His first visit to America
was his trip to Harvard University,
where he has been teaching ever since.
He was prepared at St. Paul’s School
in England, founded in the year 1509
by John Cabot, for the encouragement
of the study of Greek._Dr,_Lake-ad-
mitted having followed in the foot-
steps of the founder in this respect.
He matriculated to Lincoln College,
éxford, where he remained seven
years after his graduation, acting as
curate in the University Chapel, and
assistant in the Bodleian Library, lec-
turing all the time on the New Festa-
ment.in the- University. For
at the University of Leiden, a co-
educational institution from which
Dr. Lake drew many of his obsérva-
tions on educational methods. He
came directly from Leidén to Har-
vard, and here, as he says, he is.
In answer to our questions Dr. Lake
outlined his principal works; the most
important group in his estimation, is
that of editing of old manuscripts,
of which the most important is the |
“Codex Siniaticus.” +Books on the
New ‘Testament imelude one on
' “Acts,” one on the story of the resur-
rection, and one on the epistles of
Saint Paul, which is of course close-
ly related ‘to his lectures here. His
works on theology in general are,led
by a volume entitled “Religion Yes-
terday and Tomorrow.” He and Dr.
Cadbury, ef-our own faculty, are now
collaborating on an edition of the
“Acts,” of which the last volume is
being finished, and are publishing
with Blake, of Harvard, and Mrs. R.
W. New, a collection of essays on the
New Testament.
Having finished the more formal
necessary parts of the interview, we
went on to-question Dr. Lake about
Bryn Mawr and his impression of it.
He is singularly well fitted -to,:.ob-
serve the college, having been both a
Bryn Mawr lecturer and a_ Bryn
We were flattered
when he compared the Bryn Mawr
audience favorably with Harvard’s.
“If you know stupidity, you must lec-
ture before a Women’s Club.” He
went on to make the startling state-
ment. that there is, in his opinion,
not a stupid person in Bryn Mawr.
Some, who appear so, are really only
disinterested. They all can at least

TELLS OF NEW WORK
(Specially. Contributed in News
Competition)
On Monday evening Dr. Lake gave
the first half of his lecture on the
study of the text of the New Testa-
ment. His theme was the. evolution
of the text which we now use.
The earliest English translation of
which we know, a Vulgate, is that
of -Wyclif. The Vulgate is a revi-
sion of the New Testament made at
the end of the fourth century by St.
Jerome. Although we do not actual-
ly. possess a Jerome text, we have a
group_of manuscripts.so—close_to his
style that we can easily reconstruct
from them the original, which was
very corrupt because it had passed
through a long period of deteriora-
tion. ied
The first abbot of St: Paul’s mon-
astery, built by Bénedict Biscop, and
a centre of learning as well as of
piety, presented a copy of the New
Testament to the Pope. At first
thought to be written by an English-
man, it. was later proved by an analy-
sis of the printing to have been writ-
ten by .an Italian. In the 9th cen-
tury a partly erased note from this
text. was deciphered, revealing that
the text had been copied from a man-
uscript traced baek to .Naples and
Capua. The Pope gave away many
of his manuscripts, one of which, the
“Acts of the Apostles,’ written in
Sardinia and located in Northumber-
land and Wurzburg, was used by the
“Venerable” Bede and Bishop Laud,

February Lantern Review
Given by Miss Buchanan
_ The February issue of The Lantern
opens with an editorial thaf states
preserving
literature in an economic depression. .
But, since the proof of the necessity
for literature has much in common
with the ideals of a college, there
seems to be little need for the state-
ment. of the problem on the Bryn
Mawr campus... ,The defiant tone of
the editorial leads one to suspect that
Lantern ‘has reached its period
of depression and that it is pleading
its cause in-rather sweeping terms.
I’ortunately the contents show little
cause for melancholy on the part of
the editors. They have choseh one
sort of thing that undergraduates can
do, and the knowledge of limitation
makes for more finished work,; ‘The
poetry lacks the completeness of the
prose. Miss Perkins’ “Scholar” will
not bear the pitiless light of experi-
ence, since it is the delight of the
scholar that- his sticks and stones
somehow fit together in the end.
“Void,” by Miss Grant, is not unified
enough to achieve the #orm_ that
places art beyond the immediate emo-
tion. Of Miss Burnett’s two poems
“Doubt” is the best. In spite of, its
commonplace note, it has a certain
simplicity and-concreteness lacking in
the more complicated ‘Theophany.”
The latter- poem shows mastery of
technique, but the double conception
is not fused into a whole, and the
dramatic contrast’’in the specific
statement at the end serves only to
disintegrate the sonnet. The sketches
in The Lantern have more form than
the .poems, and through concrete de-
tails they imply rather than state
conclusions . The note of unreality in
Miss Reinhardt’s “Through the Gate
of Horn” is achieved by the use of
light, shadow and solid color in con-
trast. Its three episodes form a deli-
cate harmony unified by the central
figure of the woman. Only through
the reactions of the two characters
to the external world can-one see the
death of love between them. In “Pre-
lude,” by Miss Lombardi, the most

As Easter vacation draws nearer we cannot help considering the amount
of work to be done in the next three weeks. For most of us the prospect
is terrifying. On the recommendation of the administration, all reports
‘are to be finished before Easter, and all scheduled quizzes are included in
the pre-Easter period. This means for most of us four quizzes and at least
two reports. Last semester's Thanksgiving-to-Christmas period, dedicated
entirely to reports, is only a pleasant memory. ~~~
' We understand the necessity for having extra time after Easter to work
for May Day. We wonder, however, if there will be anything left of us

and now resides at Oxford. By means
of this manuscript, reconstruction is
now being done by the Benedictines
in Rome. The original text has been
changed twice, onee by Sixtus V in
1590, whose translation the College of
Cardinals refused to ratify.
Jerome, in reconstructing his text,
had cértain things on which to go.
His three main manuscripts were the
current Latin text of-the 5th century,
“whith added to the interest of the
revision but not to its clearness, and
which was the ‘basis of his version;
_ older Latin vefsions made in Africa;
and the regtlar Greek text of the
day. Jereme took them, compared
them, and produced “the most beau-
tiful monument of late Latin,” the
- Vulgate. The history of the Greek
text begins with the Reformation,
when Erasmus first began to print
Greek texts, all of which were after-
ward rewritten. From all these num-
erous copies, up to the 19th century,
we have had only one, the “Textus
Receptus,” which is that of Erasmus

~ At the end of the lecture, Dr. Lake
gave a summary of his own work on
reconstruction. In his first text of
the New Testament, he stated that a
certain group of manuscripts might
be Caesarean, but, urable to prove
his theory, he finally dropped the idea.
A manuscript found some months lat-
er at Tiflis, Georgia, confirmed the
supposition. This Georgian version
was worked on by him in collabora-
tion with Blake and Streeter, and the
result was a treatise on the Caesar-
ean text. On November 19, 1981,
Sir Frederick Kenyon announced that
‘a papyrus of the 3rd century, contain-
ing a Caesarean text of the Gospel
of St. Mark, has been found. ’ “We
are planning now,” concluded Dr.
Lake, “a reconstruction, of the very
earliest text from a comparison of

: Foreign Policy Lunch
Discusses New India
S. K. Ratcliffe Upholds British
“Evolution vs. Revolution”
Government in India
The subject of the Foreign Policy
luncheon on last Saturday was “In-
dia, Evolution Versus Revolution;”
_ and the two speakers were Mr. S. K.
Ratcliffe, former editor of the States-
man and now editorial writer of the
New Statesman in London, and Mr.
Haridas T. Muzumdar, author of
“Gandhi the Apostle,” “India’s Non-
Violent Revolution,” and “Men Ver-
sus Machine Guns.”
India would be ready to receive Do-
minion Status or whether she was not
already prepared for her full free-
dom. ;
The first speaker, Mr. Ratcliffe, be-
gan by saying that he was “too old
to begin by defending the British Im-
perialist system.”
Ten years ago the Government of
India Act had provided a new co-
operation between India and the Brit-
ish Government. This was _unsatis-
factory and that meant an advance
toward: the provincial autonomy of
1927, a revision of the act. In 1917
Montague said that full self-govern-
merit was a goal obtained through
autonomy and in 1929, the viceroy,
Lord Irwiny made a supplementary
statement. that India was working for
“Dominion Status, the scheme and
idea of which received great support.
If Lord Irwin’s declaration had been
reaffirmed in England it would have
been a great:gtep toward the solu-
tion of the problem, bringing India
within the scope of a new co-opera-
tion, but. this clear interpretation in
the home country was not possible.
Thus the widespread civil disobedi-
ence and the cause of the two round
table conferences--arose.
The outcome of the first conference
was to unify the demands of all the
parties of India for self-government.
It showed the readiness of the groups
and Indian princes who rule under
the old paternal system to come under
the federal system. The second round’
table conference was not so promi-
nent because of the confused state of
the British politics at the time. The
second round table conference did,
however, bring to light two ques-
tions: Firstly, If the authority of
. a responsible government was trans-
ferred to India ‘what would be the
basis for the new financial system,
and second, Had India faced the ques-
tion of the defense of the country
when responsibility should be in their
own hands? At this conference Gan-
dhi said that he was convinced that
England had no idea of transferring
the army and finance to India, and
since then’ the Indian National Gov-
ernment has never really faced. these
two problems. At the second confer-
ence the Moslems, the 80 million mi-
nority, said through their delegates
that they would accept no terms of
settlement that would not give them
protection from the Hindus. Second-
ly, because of the Gandhi leadership
the depressed classes were inadequate-
ly represented at the conference,
Gandhi said that these classes belong
to the Hindu world, although they
are disinherited religiously and so-
cially and that it will not raise them
to treat them as a minority instead
of as the part of the class, to which
ph i belong.
Mr. Muzumdar opened his discus-
sion by congratulating Mr. Ratcliffe
and saying that his statement was
quite unsatisfactory. The difficulties
arose from the personnel of the round
table conferences. The delegates
from India were all appointed by the
British Government to “take part in
the vaudeville show in St. James’
Palace.” The Indian Nationalist
party, according to Mr. Muzumdar,
‘has the loyalty of all the nations of
India.
Two forces were ‘ca for the
failure of the second round table con«
ference: first, the English press, and
second, the common Englishman who.
believed that one-fifth of his income
was bound up in India. It is the aim
of the Indian revolution to accom-
plish: unity among all, riddance of
untouchability, discouragement of li-
quor and opium trade, home indus-
tries and the participation of women
in the emancipation.
The discussion |
seemed to be a question of how soon
Catherine Rieser Stars
at Hedgerow Theatre
It is certain that no one can ever
accuse the Hedgerow Theatre group
in Rose Valley of being in the dilet-
tante class in the matter of play pro-
duction. Most “little theatre” groups
are well satisfied if they do a half-
dozen plays a season; twelve is con-
sidered a momentous undertaking.
Yet Saturday night the. Hedgerow
Players presented their thirty-eighth
show of their season (which they
date from April 6, 1931, to April 6,
1932) and their thirteenth brand-new
show. If that isn’t an accomplish.
ment suggesting industry, ambition
and a willing spirit, we would like to
know what is.
Their most recent offering was. St.
John Ervine’s “The Ship,” written
about twelve years ago and produced
in England, but never, as far as we
can find out, in this country. It is
one of Mr. Ervine’s more serious ef-
forts and reflects, incidentally, Eng-
land’s post-war bitterness. -Dramat-
ically it falls a good way behind
“John Ferguson,” easily the best of
the author’s plays, and the aforemen-
tioned note of bitterness detracts
somewhat from its artistic balance,
but even at that “The Ship” manages
to be-eonsiderably —better-than-two=
thirds of our contemporary theatrical
output.
The play’s greatest asset is a pow-
erful and moving last act—an act
that works havoc with the emotions
and leaves the auditors limp as the
final curtain falls. This act’s merits
atone to a considerable extent for
the talkiness of the first act and the
irrelevancies of the. second.
The principal characters are old
people; that may account for the fact
that it has never been produced here
professionally. It concerns a promi-
nent shipbuilder in an English sea-
coast town whose whole life centers in
his beloved plant and in the boats
that it turns out. Accordingly, it
amounts to tragedy when his only
son declares in heated and forceful
terms as antipathetic toward ma-
chinery and commerée and expresses
the desire to get back to the soil. He
refuses to work “at the yard” and
chooses to buy a. small farm instead,
aided by a financial contribution from
his elderly grandmother, who under-
stands his feelings.
The father does everptiiing in his
power ‘to ruin this agricultural
scheme; he stoops so low as to try
to bribe the boys’ partner to “throw
him down” deliberately. Failing in
this, he finally prevails on his son to
leave his farm for a few weeks in
order to make the maiden voyage on
the firm’s newest and finest ship, his
plea being based on his own bad
health and his doctor’s refusal to let
him go.
The steamer strikes an iceberg and
goes to the bottom, the son being one
of its many victims. The ship-own-
er’s pretentious and dominating house
of cards comes tumbling*down. He
has lost his two dearest possessions—
his boy ‘and the steamship Magnifi-
cent. His pride and his arrogance
are. cast down. in the dust and -hé is’
even- considering suicide, when his
mother, cool and level-headed auto-
crat of the househeld, gives him wis-
er counsel. He-is to become a grand-
father in the near future, and it is
the advise of this wise matriarch ,of
the Thurlow family that he “carry
on” the famous shipbuilding firm so
that he can hand it down to future
generations.
* * *
The best scenes are those between
Thurlow and his mother; in fact, the
character of the latter really domi-
nates the action. She is played by
Catherine Rieser (Ex-’31, Bryn Mawr
College) and well played,too, al- |] ~
though Miss Rieser is obviously far
too young to assume such a role.
There are times when the thin, high
voice of age which she assumes is in-
elined to artificiality, but her sincer-
ity and her splendid pantomimic skill
overcome these minor handicaps.
Al McGranary, as Thurlow, is also
excellent, especially in the later
scenes. Ferd Nofer gives a good ac-
count of himself as the son’s farming
partner in the second act. The role
of the boy, difficult and not always
sympathetic, is only fairly well filled
by Alfred Rowé. —
Not a great play, “The Ship” is
decidedly worth while. . Mr. Ervine
never writes shoddily or cheaply,

Religion to Survive Must
Have' Three Prerequisites
ss atate Coxtributed in News
Competition —
“Cultus, creed and conduct are the
psychological and historical elements
necessary to any religion which shall
survive,” declared the Rev. Malcolm
E. Peabody, of Chestnut Hill, speak-
ing in Chapel, February 28. As the
basis for an informal discussion after
the service he gave a short talk on
“How Religion Works.”
The interesting fact about Chris-
tianity, he pointed out, is that al-
though in the past its church has of-
ten overemphasized one aspect of re-
ligion at the expense of others, it has
always shown its ability to return to
a proper balance. Today, we are
weakest in cultus, and show an un-
willingness to recognize worship as
the necessary inspiration for a Chris-
tian code of conduct. In remedying
this defect, we should use the experi-
ence of nineteen centuries of Chris-
tianity as the basis of reform.
The savage, desiring to do some-
thing for the superior power of which
he knows nothing, sets aside holy
places to which he brings sacrifices.
Gradually however, (as in the history
of Israel), iricreased knowledge of
God_-results—in—-the-substitution—of—a
pure heart for the sacrifice of mate-
rial treasure, and a code of conduct
is developed reflecting the conception
of God. (The individual, passing
through the same experience, feels
God, finds about Him, and then does
something.) “Not really necessary—
in a chapel write-up. where you want
to cut as much as possible.
In America, the Puritan God of
aside, but the Puritan code of con-
duct persisted unchallenged until af-
ter the war, when an unsuccessful at-
tack first on creed, then on conduct,
resulted only in .a cleaner under-
standing of the necessity for. worship
and prayer.
The discussion in the Common
Room afterward revolved around the
question—“How do you learn to
pray?” Dr. Peabody answered ques- |
tions on the subject, and then offered |
his system, which he uses in confir- |
mation classes and for himself. Be
quiet and somehow get a sense of
God’s presence and what He has |
to say to you, not you 'to Him, Pray-/
ing is made easier by frequent read-
ing of the Bible and by working to}
ally yourself spiritually with God, 30 |
that you can talk to Him. The only
way to be good is to start the day
with prayer, and place yourself at'
one with God.
February Lantern Review

precise writing of The Lantern is
done.: Certain of the phrases are per- }
fect in diction and rhythm. The ex-
cellence of “Prelude” consists in its
recognition of the complexity of the
mood of a 15-yéar-old girl—a mood
while the earnestness, of hispurpose-|
and the literary quality of his writ- |
ing are both in evidence in the pres- |
ent instance.

goes too far, perhaps, in giving the
child’s world a design. The young
girl dissects experience, but she rarely
perceives the relation between the |"
parts and their place in a whole. /It
is to Miss Clews’ critical essay on
“Mourning Becomes Electra,” how-
ever, that the highest praise must go.
It is the brilliant contribution to The
Lantern. Miss Clews has a mature
knowledge of what constitutes great
tragedy. She perceives the pretense,
the, senseless repetition, the common-
place exposition | and technique of
O’Neill’s latest play. She has written
not only the best piece of work in
The Lantern, but a criticism that
stands far above most of’ the reviews
by her more famous elders. The long
essay holds one’s attention to the end
by its vigor and — of thought
and expression.
It is this. vigor and vitality that
one misses in the creative work of
The Lantern. If the editors have
reason to be depressed, it is because
the spirit of the writing is as dead
as Miss Reinhardt’s characters. The
contributors are to be praised for
their delicate writing, their sensitive-
ness to the complexity of experience
and their blending of separate parts
into-a- whole. -What-they-have-done;
they have done well. But the noise
of the campus and the joy in the
absurdities of little things are not in
their pages. And, while The Lantern
is to be congratulated on realizing its
limitations and on attempting only
what lies within the range of an un-
dergraduate, it is perhaps to be cen-
sured for making that range too nar-
row, for choosing the path that leads
to decadence rather than to life.

Dr. Kuehnemann to Make .
Memorial Address on Goethe
Dr. Eugen Kuehnemann, professor
of philosophy at the University of
Breslau, Germany, will deliver the
centennial address in memory of
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, great-
est German poet, who died in Weimar
on March 22, 1832. The lecture will
be given in Goodhart Hall on Monday,
March'14, at 8.20 P. M. The topic -
will be “Goethe and the Modern
World.”
The lecture, which is to be given
in English, will be open to all mem-
bers of the College and to the general
public. :
Professor Kuehnemann, who is
touring the United States at the invi-
tation of the Carl Schurz. Memorial
Foundation, ranks as one of the great-
est living Goethe scholars. In his
monu mental two-volume work
“Goethe,” which appeared in 1930, he
takes the drama “Faust” as the basis
for his interpretation of the poet’s
development. He has also written
books on Kant, Herder and Schiller.
His reputation rests equally on his
achievements as a philosopher and as
a literary historian.
Dr. Kuehnemann was appointed as
the _first-rector of _the-_new Royal
Academy at Posen in 1903. He has
been professor of philosophy at the
University of Breslau, Silesia, since
1906. From previous sojourns this
German scholar is well known in the
United States: He was visiting pro-
fessor at Harvard in 1906-07 and
1908-09 and at the University of Wis-
consin in 1912-13 and holds honorary
degrees from both institutions. He
visited America during sthe early
years of the World War. }

Dr. Schumann Speaks
on Music of the East
st (Continued from Page One)
In the Persian folk-song, with its
_ monodic accompaniment of violin and
flute, we find the harmonic simplicity
which, as has been said, is so charac-
teristic of Eastern music. Indian
music, on the other hand, is very chro-
matic and has great variety of
rhythm. Tremendous skill is requir-
ed by the singers, who pass their
knowledge down secretly to each suc-
cessive generation.
We now come to China, and in her
we find the mother of music. There
it was that music first became an art.
While we, just before the time of
Bach, were struggling to produce a
tempered scale, China had made the
discovery some 2000 years before
Christ; there is on record the order
of an emperor to stop the use of hun-
dredth octaves, and return to simple
pentatonic music for the sake of tra-
dition. ‘Today Chinese music is de-
cadent, but we can still see its orig-
inal simplicity; there are no leading-
notes, and the ratio. 3 is the only
one used. The center-tone to which
the- melody always returns is what
provides a great deal of the strange-
ness to our ears, which are accus-
tomed to cadences. In the “Mikado”
and in the transfiguration motif of
Strauss’ “Tod und Verklarung” we
}have an example of center-tone. Thus
Chinese music is balanced iin itself;
any record may be played back-
wards!
Gongs play a large part in this
music. It is also interesting to note
that the songs are intermixed with
dramatic speaking, and that the two
sexes are never combined in one piece.
Modern Chinese drama is very emo-
tional and dynamic.
The Japanese, although they have
received their culture from China
through Korea, have changed the pen-
tatonic system of music by the addi-
tion of half-tones leading “down-
ward. The intonation they have tak-
en over from:the Chinese. Dr. Schu-
mann let us hear a spring song sung
by the women all over Japan at the
time of the cherry blossoms; it says,
“spring itself has come to the plum
tree.. I can already see shadows on
my window.” Then the lady greets
her beloved and offers him some tea.
‘It is in Java that, free from the
disintegrating influence of war, old
Chinese music is preserved in its pur-
est form.

was typically oriental, his voice being
full of “gurgling-sounds.” —The—re-
ligious ceremonial music of Bali is
very quaint, with long-resounding
tones, though European influence can
be seen in the cadences. The instru-
ments are of metal, with bamboo res-
onators. Especially interesting is the
dance music, which is sung by four
choruses, two older and two younger,
who sit facing each other and sway
to the music, Which ever-increases in
tempo. And so, concluded Dr. Schu-
mafii, we see that if in some ways
Oriental musie is more simple than
ours, in others it is far more com-

Basketball Team Wins
‘Double Victory Again
Unblemished Record Retained
by Good Team-work and
Accurate Shooting
COLLIER AND BOYD STAR
~ (Specially contributed ‘by E. Jackson)
Last Saturday saw both basketball
teams again victorious as they played
their fifth games of the season. With
only three more games to go, we
hope they will keep up their good
playing.
Playing the Buccaneers’ first team,
Varsity showed the cleanesé and fast-
est game of the year, winning 59-32.
Collier and Boyd worked well to-
gether, getting in under the basket
without too many little passes. Boyd
was consistently good, putting in
nearly every try she made. ~She
seems this year to be able to shoot
from practically anywhere and is
therefore a hard person to guard. Al-
though Collier did not seem to get
shooting until the second half, her
passes during the first two ‘periods
were so well placed that Boyd was
able to convert them all to scores.
Goming-back-to-fornr in the last part
of the game, Collier ran up 20 points
while Boyd was making 15, and thus
they pulled Varsity far into the lead.
Longacre and Remington, ‘in. the
‘center, were kept very busy, and both
played.a good game. They do not
seem to’ have as much teamwork as
the others. Longacre has a tendency
to bounce the ball, even when Rem-
ington is free, and, as she quite often}
walks with the ball, it would seem a
good idea for her to pass more. Aside
from this, her playing Saturday was
very good. Remington, given quite
a bit of opposition by Paxson, was
able to outplay her and kept feeding
good passes to the:forwards. So far
this year her deep passes to Collier
under the basket have been working
quite well, and if they continue to do
so ‘the team will be assured of quite
a few goals in every game.
McCully was missing this week, but
her place was ably filled by Bowditch,
who has become much faster this
year, and it is now almost impossible |,
to get the ball past her, especially
on drop passes. Moore showed her
usual. good game. —
The Buccaneers were represented
by three of the All-American hockey
team. Townsend and Cadbury, at
forwards, made quite a few pretty
shots. Once Miss Townsend got her
eye in, she dropped in several from
the farthest corners. Schoff and Pax-
son, in the center, found the Long-
~ acre- Remington opposition rather
strenuous, but they kept them mov-
ing. Both Strebeigh and Church
played nice games at guard.
We hope the team will not let down,
but will wind up the season with a
clean slate. The next three games
should be extremely good, and any-
one who should chance to. see them
will find them worth it. ‘So far the
audiences have been just substitutes.
It seems. time that the rest of the
college turned out.

of Agincourt speech, from ‘Henry
V,” and, hardest of all to recite, the
slow, sad piece on sleep from “Henry

any illusion of setting. The last two}
were Shylock’s speeches on his “3000 |

being studies of character, were ex-|

Plenty of pensions or snug little inns in
fascinating spots in Europe will putyou
with three meals a day for $40 or

wonders. Whynotspendthesummer or

us that the summer in Europe might
be the means of a pleasant reduction

Paul Klee’s Paintings
His Interpretation of Pictures
Emphasizes a Symmetrical
Balance of Form
HUMOR. SOPHISTICATED
Four paintings by Paul Klee~are
now on exhibition in the Common
Room. They were hung Tuesday af-
ternoon when Mr. E. M. M. Warburg
gave a short talk on their author,
Paul Klee, a contemporary German
painter. Klee was one of the leaders
of the movement at the Bauhaus in
Dessau, where modern German ‘paint-
ing is taught. Mr. Warburg told of
his visit to Klee’s home, where he
found the artist playing a Bach vio-
lin solo. Klee did. not greet the vis-
itors until he had finished the selec-
tion. His' love of music’ is manifest
in his works, in which he plays Air
and Variations with form in picto-
graphic paintings.
The American point of view, said
Mr. Warburg, has always been, “Why
not do this or that,” the “Try any-
thing-once”-attitude; while the Euro-
pean point of view is “Why?” The
reverse is now true of these paint-
ings. Herr/Klee has said, “Why not |
paint a picture like the CAT AND
BIRD, the SHEPHERD, the LAST
SNOW, or the DEPARTURE OF
SHIPS?” And we, looking at them
without any attempt at understand-
ing them, say, “Why paint these
meaningless daubings?” This is why
this modern artist does paint in this
manner: an artist has line, color
and mass with which to compose, and
he builds up his composition from
nature. He can paint either objects
of nature or architecture. In the lat-
ter type of painting he builds up his
picture with forms into a kind‘ of
facade. He weights his picture with
symmetry, balancing its component
parts obviously. As we always look
at faces and hands to judge charac-
ter, these most telling features are
most frequently used—to—balance—a
picture. This is one type of architec-
tural painting. Another is the use of
stylized patterns and decorative mo-
tifs. A third is Klee’s type of paint-
ing, the juxtaposition of ideas, with
which. he -builds a mood.
In the CAT AND_ BIRD, the bird
is thought to be between the cat’s
eyes, because the cat is looking at it.
The fascination of a cat watching a
bird is established here; the painting
is symmetrical in design and amusing
in color. Klee has a great sense for
surface texture, and has done this in
plaster. The SHEPHERD is com-
posed of hieroglyphs like the port-
manteau words in ALICE IN WON-
DERLAND. in the verses,
“Twas brillig and the slithey toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsey were the borogoves
And the mome rathes outgrabe.”
The ideas in the picture ‘are pulled
together by form, and stay swell -in:
the center of the canvas with no-dan-
ger of their sliding off the canvas, or
even out of balance. The LAST
SNOW is less admirable in ideology,
It is merely a balancing of form,
color and texture in a frame like a
less happy exaggeration of some of
the paintings of Picasso. The DE-
PARTURE OF SHIPS, which is own-
ed by Mr. Warburg, is a delightful
composition. It gives us pleasure be-
cause’ it is built up of little forms
which we recognize, and from this
point we go on to embroider on the

theme of the picture in our own
minds. It is’ Romantic because it
pulls us and demands a certain con-
centration, as it is the mental _asso-
ciations suggested by the forms of
the painting which make it a com-
pleted entity.
Klee is a serious painter, but he
has a sense of humor. He is very
fond of cats and one day when one
was walking on one of his drawings
he would ‘not allow it to be shoved
off. “In two hundred years,” he re-
marked, “people will say, ‘How did
he ever get that effect?’” His pic-
tures are simple, but are executed
with sophistication and are complete
entities created with balance of form.
In them he says what he means and
