French Club Gives
Superb Performance



Barbier de Seville Unites
Excellence of Acting With
Good Staging:

DIRECTION IS LAUDABLE

Le





The French Club’s presentation of
Le Barbier de Seville in Goodhart
Hall on Saturday night was a superb
performance in point of action, stag-
ing, direction and unity.. Le Barbier
de Seville is a play of highly typed,

“diverse characterization, and could

therefore easily present the spectacle
of a divided group of individuals, each
pursuing his own part with determi-
nation .and. indifference to the be-
havior of everyone else on the stage.

The French Club’s performance of the |:
ptlay, however, was so well directed |"

and acted that in tvery -sense~the
group worked smoothly and unitedly
together,,so that no one person at any
time seemed better than any other,
although all were excellent in their
rules. As a result, the play had a
degree of -professional~ finish - which
has been seldom reached on the Bryn
Mawr stage.

The director, Mlle. Maud Rey, is
to be congratulated not only on the
unity and changes of tempo she man-
aged to produce, but-on the period
authenticity of the acting. The ac-
tors’ gestures were both completely in
character and done in the classic
French style. The formal bowing; the
combination of every gesture of the
hands with an appropriate and styl-
ized change of the position of the feet,
and the studied, foxmal grouping of
the actors in each scene displayed
Mile. Rey’s accurate knowledge of cor-
rect old French acting. If£ the mark
of a professional play is its skillfull
changes in tempo, this presentation
of Le Barbier de Seville could have
passed muster on almost any profes-
sional stage, for the tempo was rapid
and interesting whenever Bartholo
was on the stage, was slow and deli-
cate in the love scenes, and rose to
heights of accelerated rapidity in the
amusing drunken scene with the Count
and in the scene when the Barber
shaved Barthelo.

Varsity Wins Game
Against Swarthmor,



In their final official games of the
season, the Varsity basketball teams
defeated Swarthmore by the scores
of 29-25 and 34-18.

A tied score at the end of the first
quarter and a Bryn Mawr lead of
only one point at the end of the half,
not only indicate the excitement of
the game, but perhaps show to some
extent the disappointment we felt
that a team which began the season
with such excellent co-ordination,
teamwork, and accuracy, should play
its last game with such evident wild-
ness and lack of unity. The fact that
six personals and three technical fouls
were chalked up against Bryn Mawr
to. Swarthmore’s three personals and
one technical does not indicate any
intentional rough play, but merely
shows Varsity’s lack of control and
actual carelessness of play. Passing
was even more ragged than usual,
especially from the centers to the for-
wards, whose inaccurate shooting did
not help to improve the general mo-
rale of the team. At the end of the
third quarter, the line-up was shifted

~“a bitin the hope that the change|
~would: bring some’ order” into the chaos

and it would seem that the shift ac-
complished its purpose, for a fourth
quarter rally from a score of 25-25
gave Varsity a lead which she man-
aged to maintain until the
whistle.

On the other hand, we must give
most of the credit to the guards, espe-
cially to Bridgman, whose intercep-
tions and excellent defense against
Stubbs really saved the day. Of the

whole team, the guards alone, we

think, have maintained ‘the high

standard which they set at the begin-

Faculty Decision

Dean Manning. wishes to ‘an-
nounce that the faculty has re-
considered the case mentioned
in week before last’s editofial,
and has agreed to abide by its
original decision. The reason
given is that the student in
question was urged to. take the

she refused to do so, the fac-

Fencing Team Wins
Phila. Championship
College Team Will Represent

Phila. in Amateur Women’s -
Tournament



E. SMITH RATES FIRST



On. Thursday, March 15, the’ Bryn
Mawr fencers won the Women’s Team
Championship of the Philadelphia
Division of the Amateur Fencers’
League of America, entitling them to
represent the district. in the National
Tournament. It is the first time in
many years that the college team has
been able to defeat that of the Phila-
delphia Sword Club. In addition to
the team championship, the Bryn
Mawr fencers captured the first. two
places in the meet for individual scor-
ing, Miss Eleanor Smith ranking first
and Miss Marianne Gateson, second.

Three teams entered the meet, one
from Bryn Mawr, one from the Sword
Club, and a composite team, made up
from Bryn Mawr and Shipley School.
The college team consisted of Miss
Gateson, Miss Smith, and Miss Man-
ship. Gateson captained the team and
took all her matches but one, despite
the handicap of an injured left wrist
that forced her to fence right-handed,
as she has not done for two years.
Smith won every one of her bouts,
her fine form and dexterity showing
up beautifully in open competition.
Manship lost her first two bouts, but
recovered her usual skill in time to
win the last four with comparative
ease.

Miss Brill, Miss Lane, and: Miss
MacDermott fenced on the Sword
Club team. Brill, like Gateson, lost
only one bout, but ranked third in the
individual placing, because she had
eleven touches against her as oppos-
ed to ten against Gateson. Lane, of
the Sword Club, ranked fourth in in-
dividual placing, and MacDermott,
sixth.

On the composite team fenced Miss
Coxe and Miss Berolzheimer, from
the College, and Miss Garthwaite,
from Shipley School. Coxe won the
only bout which this team had to their
credit.

Mr. Agnew and Mr. Shakspere
judged the meet. The following are
the official results:

Miss Park Announces)
Graduate Fellowships



A
Single European Scholar Nathed
Instead of Five—Dr. Noether
‘Given. Tribute."

CUM LAUDE LIST READ





Speaking in chapel on Friday,
Marck 16, Miss Park stressed the fact
that courses and degrees form only
the framework of a college. Over-
emphasis «upon them leads to dry-
ness. To present such a framework
as a representative picture of col-
lege is incorrect. This skeleton or pat-
tern must be rounded out and hu-
manized by other kinds of discipline
and learning. Clashes of mind, disci-

| plines of the body, the senses and the

will, also play their part in forming
the woman who is ready to deal with
abstract questions and practical de-
vices alike.

On such an occasion as the an-
nouncement of European and gradu-
ate fellowships, everything but the
framework of Bryn Mawr College
must necessarily be excluded and in-
telligence must be dwelt upon to the
exclusion of other qualities, which are
taken for granted.

The first graduate European Fel-
lowships were presented in the first
six years of the college. The Fanny
Bullock Workman Fellowship was
founded by the will of Mrs.. Work-
man, at both Radcliffe and Bryn
Mawr, for purposes of travel. Mrs.
Workman was one of the most ro-
mantic of Victorian women. She was
a mountain-climber and a scientist, as
well as being’ profoundly interested in
education. This fellowship, which is
of the value of $1,000, has been
awarded seven times. The Mary Eliz-
abeth Garrett. European Fellowship,
of the value of $?,000, awarded annu-
ally for excellence in scholarship, has
been held 40 times in different depart-
ments.

The Fanny Bullock Workman Fel-
low for 1934-35 is Maude M. Frame,
of Philadelphia. Miss Frame _ took
her A.B. at the University of Penn-
sylvania in 1927. She was a reader
in Philosophy and a Graduate Stu-
dent at Bryn Mawr College, 1928-30,
1931-34, and a Scholar in Philosophy,
1930-31. She has chosen the subject
for her thesis from the departments
of both Philosophy and History of
Art. Her subject is the conception
of space and its relationship in Ital-
lian Rennaissance Painters.

The Mary E. Garrett European Fel-
lowship is to be held next year by
Emma Hope Broome, A.B., Mount
Holyoke College, 1927; M.A., Bryn
Mawr College, 1932; Scholar in Latin,
Bryn Mawr College, 1931-32; Holder
of Fellowship in Biblical Literature
from Bryn Mawr College, 1932-33
(fellowship used at the University of
Chicago), and Fellow in Biblical Lit-
erature, Bryn Mawr College, 1933+34.
Miss Broome, also, has studied in’ two
departments—Latin and Biblical Lit-
erature. She can contribute to her
study a knowledge of the Roman Em-
pire and an unusual background in
the Syriac and in the Semitic lan-
guages. She will work under Profes-
sor Burkitt, at Cambridge, where she
will investigate the sources of Peshit-
ta, the accepted translation of all
branches of the Syriac-speaking
church.

Only one European scholar, instead
of the five usually admitted, will enter
Bryn Mawr College next year. Olga

| Taussky, of Czechoslovakia, has..been.

selected. Miss Taussky studied at
the Universities of Ziirich and Vienna.

in the Department of Mathematics,
University of Gottingen, 1931-32, and
is now collaborating in the publica-
tion of the edition of Hilbert’s works.

Miss Taussky was chosen with the
aid of Dr. Emmy Noether. Dr. Noe-
ther, who is the greatest woman math-
ematician in Europe or America,.is
now resident at the college and will
be here next year. To afford oppor-
tunities for the very advanced study
offered by Dr. Noether, an additional

Mr. Hopkinson Talks
on Art Appreciation





Thursday afternoon in the Com-
mon Room an. attentive audience
was given by Mr. Charles Hopkin-
son, famous portrait painter, an ac-
count of what passes through the
mind of an artist when he looks at a
picture.

The layman, if able to perceive
things taken from the visible world in
a painting, enjoys the picture for the
associations roused by it; the artist
improves upon that habit of mind by
enjoying a painting for the associa-
tion, but also for a great deal more,
for composition, form and color. It
is these latter constituents of a pic-
ture that he has in mind when creat-
ing his own work and it is to them
that he looks for the intrinsic value
of _a work of art.

The composition of a picture should
be. enjoyed in the same manner as
music, as something not connected
with the visible world; or again, in
the same manner as architecture, an
art appreciated for the abstract ele-
ments of direction of planes, thrust
and prqportion. -The feeling of form
in space, the three dimensional aspect
of a picture should be produced in
the simplest-way possible. The sense
of depth which the artist strives for
is not the depth of a mirrored image,
out the space relation of a world cre-
ated by the artist himself; and if the
distortions are consistent, the picture

‘will exist in its own world, far more

interesting than the visible world.
The painter thus starts off with his
own concept of reality and uses only
material objects, such as trees, figures
and_ terrain, as points for the eye to

Bryn Mawr Swimmers

Conquer Swarthmore



Backstroke .Record is Broken
With 31.4 in First Meet
Off-Campus

DIVING IS EXCELLENT

At three-thirty on Friday after-
noon, the Varsity swimming team,
accompanied by a sizable cheering sec-
tion, wended its way grimly over the
hills to Swarthmore for its first off-





campus meet. At six o’clock the bus —

loaded with its hilarious crew sped
homeward after winning a most excit-
ing meet, 49-35.

Varsity, in carrying off six of the
nine events and in breaking the col-
lege record for the 400-yard back
stroke event in a strange and com-
paratively slow pool, confirmed the
opinion that it is one of the. best
teams we have had in many a season.

In the first event, the 80-yard free
style, Swarthmore led over the first
three laps, ka the last turn, Dan-
iels and VanVechten made a final

spurt to take first- and second places,

respectively, with Heathcote, of
Swarthmore, coming in third.

Woodward took an immediate lead
in-the, 40-yard—back-stroke—event- to
break Duncan’s record made in the
interclass meet by clocking 31.4 sec-
onds, with Huntington taking second
and Porther third place.

In the medley relay, Bryn Mawr
was behind in the side and breast
strokes, but Hemphill took the lead
on the trudgeon, and Wylie kept it in
the crawl to win the event in 54.2
seconds.

Whiting was the favorite in the
craw! for form, but met keen competi-
tion from Keyes, of Swarthmore, who
took second place, and was only .5
of a point behind with a total of 22
out of a possible thirty.

In the breast stroke event, the field
was pretty well bunched on the first

lap, but Waldemeyer made a beauti-
ful turn to take the lead down the

lyst lap and first place in 32.2 sec-
onds.

Haverford Foils Bryn Mawr in Tag Game;
Basketball Enlivened by Hurdles_and Songs



On Monday afternoon, March 19,
Bryn Mawr’s Varsity went down to
its second defeat of the season in a
hard-fought game with Haverford
College’s basketball team* After a
false start which netted Varsity an
uncounted two points because of the
Haverford desire for forwards to play
against forwards, the game got un-
der way. Bryn Mawr started off with
Boyd scoring a nice shot amid roars
from Haverford’s supporters. Flac-
cus countered with a long shot, pre-
ceded by a game of tag with his
guard, ‘who viewed his success from
a sitting position on the floor, Odd
as it may seem, soon after these ini-
tial efforts, Bryn Mawr committed
the first foul, when Larned attempt-
ed to hurdle her opponent as the best
way to get around him.

Haverford kept right on Varsity’s
heels, both literally and actually, as
the score mounted little by little until
at quarter time it stood at 10-8 in
favor of Bryn Mawr. A flock of
substiutes came in for both sides and
the battle continued. The Scarlet and
Black tried some fancy shots and
passes, some.of which.fell_into.Var--
sity’s hands, others in the basket; and
one hada miraculous escape from a
Wher half+
time came. Bryn Mawr was on the
long end of a 15-14 score.

The Haverford cohorts indulged in
several cheers and songs, one or two
of which we recognized as having
been heard in these parts before. The
rendition of ‘Come Cheer For Our
College” was especially gallant, we
thought.

With the men’s rules in force, we
expected to see a general roughhouse,
for we had heard something about
Haverford’s new underhand system of
passing and it sounded quite sinister,



yet all went well, although it cannot
be denied that the Scarlet and Black
shooters showed Varsity several tricks
which may be useful against the Fac-
ulty. During this quarter Varsity
showed some hesitancy about using
the privilege of bouncing the ball in-
definitely. Meirs at center did avail
herself of the chance to try‘for the
basket, but unfortunately she met
with no success. She made up for it
with good play at center, in spite
of a momentary protest at the small
size of her opponent at the start of
the second half. Bridgman did good
work at guard during this period, but
we wondered that she didn’t grow dizzy
trying to keep her eye on her elusive
opponent. Altogether we must admit
that the third quarter was not a
great success from the point of view
of the Bryn Mawr score. A paltry
two points was the sole product of
eight minutes of frenzied activity dur-
ing which Haverford rang up thir-
teen points to bring the total to 27-17.

In the final period the game re-
verted to girls’ rules. This did not
phase the Haverfordians very much,

for;-although~ Varsity put in several ~

baskets, the Scarlet torWatas non-
chalantly pushed in a couple of shots

with what seemed almost infinite-ease;—

while missing quite a few more in
much the same style. The Haverford
lead proved, nevertheless, to be insur-
mountable and the game ended with
the score, 31-26. The game was not
a complete loss. Although Varsity
did meet its second defeat, several
valtiable pointers were\ picked which

will undoubtedly be stored up for use .
against’ the Faculty. So, as we say:

farewell to Haverford’s victorious
team, we close in the same breath with
a warning to our next opponents.
May the Faculty beware!

The Last Gasp
As we bend over our faithful typewriter for the last time of a
Monday morning we feel really quite sad about the passing of our
! glory and the coming of a new, and perhaps better, age. For two
_ years the present seniors on the board of the News have planned the
celebration which they would hold to commemorate the joyous moment

now that that time is upon us, we feel unaccountably unhappy about it
and the desire to sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death
of kings sweeps over us at frequent intervals. Whether or not the
readers of our noble paper will mourn our demise is a matter of opin-
“ion; if they do not we probably will not notice the omission as we will
be fully occupied in bemoaning it ourselves.
But,. while we are concerned with our memorial services, another
board will have stepped into our shoes, and the News.will have gone by,
another of the signposts on the road to journalistic immortality. The
9 fact which has always impressed us most strongly in connection with
the News is that, in spite of periodically changing boards, it comical
to maintain a certain continuity of character that survives the influence

- to maintain a eertain continuity of character. That this should be true
is an indication that the News belongs actually to the college as a whole
and not to that group. which happens to be in control at any given
moment. The assistance which the college can lend the editors by
their support is much greater than would be imagined at first glance.
No paper can long endure and prosper if its clientele is indifferent in
its attitude, or destructive in its criticism. The News depends almost
entirely upon the goodwill of its readers for its continued existence, and
for this reason the present editors wish to avail themselves of their last
editorial opportunity to thank the subscribers for their support in the
_ past, and to commend the News to their future attention.

The policies of the entering board may not be those of the deceased,
and the methods of enforcing an editorial policy upon the attention of
the public may not be the same, but the college may rest assured that
their interests are being left in safe and competent hands. The new
board will make every attempt to fulfill the specifications of the under-
graduates as regards the type of paper they want, and all they ask in
return is goodwill and a certain amount of co-operation during crises.

We have no desire to burst into editorial tears at this point, or to
indulge in a long harangue about the future that we hear lies before

us, or the past that we know lies behind us.
| about the character and the future of Bryn Mawr regularly every
_ Monday morning for two years and there are certain ends which we
j should like to see achieved within these ivied walls before we are plac-
ed firmly beneath the sod. As they demand slight explanation we will



witen they should no longer be the servants of public opinion. But, |

But, we have thought |

Flotsam-jetsam has a very techni-
cal meaning which, no one knows but
such as are Marine Lawyers. When
a ship sinks and only when a ship
sinks and refuses to come to the top
again, flotsam and jetsam are pro-
duced, not both in the same way how-
ever. One is made in, one way and
one in a very different way. Flot-
sam is: more or less passive and jet-
sam as the name implies is active.

When the passengers of a boat see
the ship about to sink, naturally the
first thing they think of is how to

eep it above the water so they throw
out everything they can lay their
hands on in hope of saving them-
selves. In case they are disappointed
and sink, jetsam results and it comes
under the head of wreccum maris in
the-law--books..

But if the passengers decide that
they do not want to throw things
overboard, as someone might come
along and save them from their fate,
and then the ship. sinks with all
hands on board and cargo floats to
the top, that is flotsam.

Scavenger Hunt Promises
~ Hilarious Evening for All



Scavenger hunts have been very
common throughout the nation of late,
but the Hunt promised for the Wed-
nesday after vacation will be of a
variety completely unknown to date.
There will be sweepstakes on the va-
rious teams of faculty and under-
graduates, a talk on Germany by Miss
Ely, unprecedented prizes for the vic-
tors, and plenty of refreshments to
top off an evening of sports.

Teams are forming all the time for
the big event: the Willing Wardens,
led by Miss Ferguson; Dr. Flex-
ner’s Bully Boys, and the Diez Dash-
aways. Numerous’ undergraduate
teams have also signed up with the
backers of the Hunt, Terry Smith and

The schedule for the evening is sim-
ple and should be very agreeable to
follow. The teams are to meet under
Pembroke Arch or in the vicinity if
things get crowded, and from there
proceed by car, bicycle, or foot to
scavenge. Having scavenged until
they are worn out, they may sink
then into a well-earned rest at Miss
Ely’s, where they will hear their host-
ess talk in her usually amusing fash-
ion as they are refreshed.

Everyone not in the infirmary or
otherwise incapacitated is urged to
appear on the scene Wednesday night,
April 4, and join in the fun. There
are certain small preliminaries nec-
essary, as the managers of the Hunt
wish to be notified of what teams are
entering so that they may make up
their book forthe sweepstakes. The
price for all this humor is only sev-
enty-five cents and you may: be able
to make it up if you bet wisely, so
don’t fail to make the small initial
investment.

tained from Smith or~Marsh, Pem-

News of the New York Theatres

After the furore created by Fred
Astaire in Flying Down to Rio we
feel.that we should keep-his-collegiate
public informed of his life and hard

-times to the best of our ability, and

we offer as an opening’ wedge the
item that after the film was complet-

ed, and Fred saw it in a projection.

room, he was so horrified that he rais-
ed every cent he could find in the
world and tried to buy it from Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer so he could tear it
into very small pieces and throw it
far away. He thought everything
about it was awful, and the sight of
himself going through the throes of

the numerous dances made him shud- .
der with apprehension for his. fu-

ture. Fortunately for the “Bryn
Mawr public, Metro liked it and re-
fused to part with it for- love or
money. Which all goes to show that
Fred Astaire is a modest, retiring
young man, and not in the least

aware of the fact that down on the .

Main Line there is a colony of young
women who Carioca to bed and to
breakfast. . Perhaps it’s just as well
that he doesn’t know about all this
liberal adapting of his medium to
the specifications of academic joints
and library muscles. The dear Bryn

Mawr girl as a type was never meant

to bloom.like an orchid in the. moon-
light, and no amount of torturous
winding..about. the campus _is going
to change the fact.

The present theatrical season is
more or less over as far as new plays
are concerned and the minds of most
of the producers are teeming. with
plans for the season to come. How-
ever, before we launch into the prom-
ises for next season, there are a few
things in the here and now that would
bear a little explanation. Charles
Dillingham held both, thumbs and
brought into town a revue in which
there was not one seasoned performer
nor one known librettist, scene de-
signer, or stage hand. The thing was
honestly called New Faces and every-
one went to work, and hoped every
night for five silent minutes before
rehearsal, that they would get through
the. opening chorus before all the
first nighters went home for their
sherry and biscuits taken after a par-
ticularly stiff dose. They saw their
prayers come true in a triumphant
manner, for they were all so enthusi-
astic about life and they played with
so much spirit and gave every estab-
lished: institution such a superior go-
ing over that the jaded older gen-
eration loved it. The audiencg all
passed out of the theatre murmpring
“Youth, youth, Ah, what a marvelous
thing is youth” and the show was
made.
about it like one talks about an in-
cubator baby—‘“marvelous what sei-
ence can do,” and all the rest of it.
As a matter of fact-the show is real-
ly very funny indeed, and done in ‘the
best blase manner which its children
can affect. They submit the bird to
the English Players by doing a scene
in which the diction and enunciation
are so perfect that no one word can
be understood; Nancy Hamilton does
a Katherine Hepburn, which amused
even Miss Hepburn, who sneaked
down from Olympus for the evening;
there is a lively song entitled J Hate
Spring, which shows you just how
startling. are the ideas of the flaming
post war theatrical generation, and,
all in all, for forty-three scenes
youth holds the stage and the old and
aged roar with pleasure to see the
little ones having wien a hell of a
time. .

The Group Theatre, which is the
proud parent of Men in White, is
opening Gentlewoman, a play by John
Howard Lawson, on Thursday, and
it should be very good indeed. Mr.
Lawson’s last play concerned a sacred
city in Thibet, and no one was at all
interested, so this year he has moved

York mansion of the vintage of 1934
and has created a love story that has
all the sophistication that he found
it impossible to put over in Thibet.

Stella Adler and Claudia Morgan are.

the two cheeriest souls in it — and

there is also Morfis Carnovsky. Mean-:

while, Men in White runs on, and the
cast has to find new ways of keeping
up interest in the thing after the two
hundred mark has flown past them.

On St. Patrick’s day they played the’

whole first act in Irish dialect and it
went over beautifully except that Ed-
ward Bromberg kept forgetting just
which dialect was his native one.

French Club Gives

Superb- Performance



Continued from Page One

* The French. Club is also to be con-
gratulated in its choice of a play, for |
to an audience which is none too
quick at understanding French, the
presence of pantomimic action is an
immense help. Le Barbier de Seville
is so filled with action that the point
and many of he incidents of the play
could be conveyéd through the panto-
mime without the assistance of one
spoken word, and as a result the audi-
ence seemed, to understand what was
happening in this play better than in
any of the French plays presented at
Bryn Mawr in the past. The enunci-
ation, however, was amazingly clear
and distinct, and most of the clever
lines were greeted with roars. of |
laughter from the audience. ma

It: is difficult to decide which of the |
actors deserves the most praise, for
each one played her part with natural
ability, topped by careful and intelli-
gent interpretation. The play was ad-
mirably cast:. Miss Perkins and Miss
Jarrett were naturally fitted to act
their roles as well, we believe, as they
could be acted; Miss Pillsbury show-
ed a remarkable power of continually
sustaining the difficult character part
of Bartholo; Miss Stewart had all the
proper gravity and earnestness for;
the role of Don Bazile; Miss Fouil-
houx not only looked and acted the
part. of the romantic lover convincing-
ly, but showed great versatility in the
drunken scene; and the minor charac-
ter parts of La Jeunesse and L’Eve-
ille, were perfect to the tiniest detail.

Miss Jarrett played Figaro with a
gay vivacity and enthusiasm, remain-
ed in character throughout the play,
and succeeded in making the audience |
enjoy her part as much as she was |
obviously enjoying it herself. Her |
lively, rapid movements as she bounc-'|
ed merrily around the stage, made an |
excellent contrast with the stiffness |
and formality of all the other acting. |
She showed remarkable understanding |
of the French technique of acting, and |
great skill in doing it with convincing
naturalness. Her own personality was |
merged with the character to the ex-|
tent that it is difficult to image Fi-
garo apart from Miss Jarrett. Her

singing was clearly enunciated, pure |





‘congratulated for the natural ease

we can do no more but give our high-
est_ praise to .an excellent bit of

Miss Stewart, as Don Bazile, spoke

fectly, but we felt that she did not

made of the famous “La calomnie” |
speech. Her grave tones, her serious |
acting, and her somber costume added,
however, the correct note of contrast
to the more colorful and entertaining
parts of the other- major characters.

- All the minor parts were well taken,
La Jeunesse, played by Miss And-
eregg, was a marvelously made up
and costumed old man, and spoke with
all the cross excitement of old age.
Miss Boyd, as L’Eveillé, was stubborn
to an amazing degree, and could not
have been surpassed in her acting of
the yawning scene. Miss Haskell, as
the Notary, failed to get over to the!
audience the humor of her perplexity
over the two marriage licenses for
Rosine, but was otherwise entirely
perfect in her portrayal of a very
French role.

Perhaps the most interesting thing
about this production was the French-
ness of al] the acting: no one would
ever have suspected that these were
American girls acting a classic French
play. The actors also deserve to be|



with which they spoke to the audi-
ence in asides, not meant to be heard
by the rest of the cast. It is not.very
easy to speak directly to an audience
in order to convey information not
intended for the other actors, in an
era when, apart from Mr. O’Neill’s
better efforts in that line, playwrights
generally regard the audience as
something not to be directly addressed |
under any circumstances, on pain of
a lingering death.

The staging of Le Barbier. de
Seville should bring great credit down
upon the shoulders of Miss Janet!
Barber, who designed and supervised
the execution of the sets. The first
set was, so. far as we know, Bryn!
Mawvr’s first attempt at a street scene,
and the effect of the grey buildings
rising to towering heights in back of |

The 40-yard free style seemed to
be fated at the beginning. - After
one bad start the field finally got
under way, with Wylie leading at the
turn. On the final lap, however,
Michael, the. Swarthmore ace, slowly
drew away and though Wylie made
a great spurt at the end, a collision
gave Simpson second place and Wy-

tion.

Swarthmore took first and third
places in the tandem with Cohen and

ing and. VanVechten.got. off to a nice
start, but broke in the middle of the
pool to come in fourth. ]

The diving was ‘anticipated with
great excitement, for there was no
doubt but that Swarthmore held the
advantage on its own board. How-
ever, though Daniels got off to a bad
start on her first required, her form

a Mr. Hopkinson Talks

on Art Appreciation,



- Continued from Page One +“ :

“rest. upon as it goes back to the pic-

ture. That at least is the correct at-
titude for the artist, that the model he
is about to paint is not to be slav-
ishly copied,‘but to be used to create
reality by taking its place in a part
of the artist’s predetermined: scheme
of things:

The artist is saved from photo-
graphic art as well by the materials
he employs as by his individual con-

_cept of reality. The color ‘scale he

possesses is less extensive than that
of nature and constitutes a fundamen-
tal obstacle to exact reproduction, Al-
though an amateur may try to paint
the color as he sees it, he fails, for

‘be cannot. duplicate the wide scale

of. natural colors; He must arrange
his scale to fit his own world.

The Italian primitives of the four-
teenth and fifteenth centuries Wid not
follow the practice of the moderns,
who attain more truth to nature in
painting light and shadow by using
neutral colors for shadow and strong
for light, yet their pictures have vi-
tality in spite of untruth to nature.
Perhaps the reason may be found in
the fact that, although they\reversed
the modern process and put ‘strong
colors in the shadow and made the
lights paler, they adhered to a defi-
nite color scale; they created a color
hierarchy of their own, true in spite
of its falsity to the laws of light and
shadow in painting.

An element of a picture especially
interesting for the artist is its pat-
tern. Any picture is more or less a
pattern made by any arrangement of
linés within a rectangle. The divi-
sions are vertical, horizontal and diag-
onal and if the pattern coincides with
these divisions, so much the better
will it fit its rectangular frame. The
figures or other component parts of
a picture must balance in form as well
as in disposition of light and dark
areas. i

To attain this balance two fairly
common rules of symmetry—balance
and dynamics—may be used... The
principle of dynamic symmetry was
used again and again in Renaissance
art, notably in Velasquez’ Surrender

of Breda. The mean and extreme
proportion of dynamic symmetry is
extremely pleasing to the eye—a fact

which may explain the appeal of
square-rigged ships. The measure-
ment of Greek temples and vases re-
vealed the fact that eighty per cent.
of them fall within the principle of
dynamic symmetry.

Any painter may follow his illus-
trious predecessors in arranging: his
composition; he has only to take a
rectangle, draw diagonals in it and
draw right angles from those diag-
onals, putting objects, such as a head,
the corner of a room, a table, on the
lines of the angles and symmetry
results. And a painter, especially a
portrait painter, can get along very
well in this fashion; but if he applies
the rules of dynamic symmetry in
a slavish, conscious fashion, the fin-
ished picture will inevitably present a
rigid pattern to the seeing eye. If
one knows the principle behind the
pattern of such a picture, the compo-
sition seems tiresome. Certain litho-
graphs of prize-fighting done by
George Bellows are all designed on
this same principle of rigid and un-
deviating symmetry and, consequent-
ly, lack subtlety.

For the painter, the real subject-
matter of a picture is something else
than the object-painted or its associa-
tions; the relation of lines, tones of
color, light and shade interests him;
and it is immaterial whether they
centre about a tree or a gas pump.

_.his_indifference to subject-matter..is.|

. naturally carried over from concep-

tion to perception of a picture by
him, and if the layman wishes actual-
ly to enjoy art, he must: imitate the
artist. To gain perception it is use-
ful to train the eye to pick out effects
of light and shade in nature; and
finally to train the vision by looking
at good painting.

the first team game, the big problem
was to find a running mate for Baker.
Fortunately, Baker was putting the
ball through the rim from évery angle
and the several ¢orwards who were
shifted in and out acted in the main
as ball feeders. As a result, play
was far less confused and the _ pass-

.ing was neater than in the Varsity

game, but play on the whole was slow.

~ about Cigarettes

po

Practically untouched

by human hands

E’D like you to see Chesterfields
made. We know you’d be im-
pressed by the absolute cleanliness of
our factories.
The tobaccos are the best that money

can buy.

Expert chemists test for cleanliness and
purity all materials used in any way in the
manufacture of Chesterfield cigarettes.

The factories are modern throughout.
Even the air is changed every 4% minutes.

When you smoke a Chesterfield you
can be sure that there isn’t a purer ciga-

rette made.

a

In a letter to us an eminent sci-
entist says: “Chesterfields are just

as pure as the water you drink.”

a

Inspectors examine. Chesterfields as they
come from the cigarette making machines
and throw out any imperfect cigarettes.
