Sarah Bernhardt Immortalized
_ As Death Leap on Pillows
Proves Fatal



FAUST IS DANDY DEVIL



Goodhart, March. 12.—At the sec-
orf sshowing of the early films _col-
lected by the Museum of Modern
Art. Film Library, the evening be-
gan with a bang. History, fantasy,
robbery and devils filled the audience
with horror and amusement. Good-
hart re-echoed with the horrified gasps
of the audience when the royal head
of Mary, Queen of Scotland, rolled in
the sawdust. This picture was over
almost as soon as it began, but we
shudder to think of the effects it must
have had on susceptible people of 1894
who had not been hardened, as we
have, by long acquaintance with the
Frankenstein monsters and the tech-
nical tricks of the modern movies.

The development of narrative films
continued with a brief bit, entitled
Wash Day Troubles, the so-called
prototype of slapstick comedy. The
costumes of 1895 were startling to say
the least, particularly the dangling
legs of the — sh-h — undergarments.
These first two films were the first
tottering steps of the art, the blos-
soming of the discovery that the “mov-
ing picture really moved.” A world
of illusion was created by George
Méliés, who produced a number of
films between 1896 and 1914. One
of them,’ A’ Trip to the Moon, was
worthy of a Gilbert and Sullivan per-
formance (with its silently eloquent
chorus of sceptical savants). The
settings for this film were extremely
clever and many of the scenes were
amazingly modern. The humor of the
acrobatic antics of the people in the
Moon and the behavior of the daring
scientists was more subtle than that of
the usual films of the period. A
delightful touch was the disappear-
ance of each “native” in a cloud of
smoke when he was_ slain by the
mighty umbrella of the mortal.

The Great Train Robbery, the ear-
liest example of film editing, created
a sensation when it came out in 1903.
It foreshadows many features. which
the modern movie never forgets—the
rushing (!) train, the closeup and the
heroine of tender age. Best of all
was the gay country dancing, which
was peculiarly appropriate for a Bryn
Mawr showing.

It is difficult to tell whether the
film of Faust was meant to be comedy
or tragedy. It was a most hilarious
spectacle with the devil, a typical
“sneak,” disappearing in bursts of
flame. He was portrayed as a most
appealing shaggy dog, while Mar-
guerite fulfilled our worst expecta-|.
tions. Her “vision” of her meeting
with the dandy, Faust, was the best
part of the picture.

A sharp coritrast was offered by the
famous film of Queen Elizabeth which
starred Sarah Bernhardt, who said
of it: “This is my one chance for im-
mortality.” The film was remark-
able in that the acting was done as
on the legitimate stage, with the fig-
ures walking on and off, and the
change of setting accomplished by
scene-shifting. The star rose from
the pile of cushions forming her death-
bed and bowed with a magnificent
gesture to, the supposedly applauding
audience. The film was interesting
primarily
ed the “divine Sarah,” as well A Lou
Tellegen, reputed to be the handsom-
est man of his time. Despite the
marked difference between this film
and those of today, the drama was
strong, and there were some very ex-
cellent scenes, such as the visit of
Elizabeth to the crypt where lay the
body of Essex.

fellowships for study abroad at the
disposal of the college. The winner
this year, Dorothy Anne Buchanan,
was a scholar in English, Bryn Mawr,
College, 1930-31; instructor in Eng-
lish, Bryn Mawr College, 1931-32;
teacher at the Buckingham School,
Cambridge, -Massachusetts, » 1932-33;
instructor in English, Vassar College,

1933-34; Fellow in English, Bryn
Mawr College, 1934-35; warden of
Windham and_ graduate _ student,

Bryn Mawr College, 1935-36. Miss
Buchanan completes this year her
course work for the Ph. D. degree
and is re to prepare her thesis,
begun in a seminary given four years
ago at Bryn Mawr by Professor
Charles G. Osgood, of Princeton, on
the Tradition of the Love Complaint
as employed by Spenser in the Faerie
Queen. She proposes to work at the
University of London with Sir Ed-

mund Chambers and R. W. Chambers,

and to. study manuscripts at the Brit-
ish Museum and the Bodleian Library.
She will also study under W. L. Ren:
wick, of the University of Durham.

Miss Buchanan is declared by her
department to have clear-sighted, crit-
ical judgment, great powers of organi-
zation and_presentation, “the industry
that every graduate student must pos-
sess,” and, as noted by each of her
instructors, real proof of gréwth and
development, a fruitful mind.

The Mary Elizabeth Garrett Euro-
pean Fellowship has already been
awarded forty-two times: six times
in English, five in history, two in Ro-
mance Languages and four in French,
four in Latin, four in mathematics,
three in biology, three in Greek, and
twice or once in economics, philo-
sophy, Biblical literature, chemistry,
physics, archaeology, Semitic Lan-
guages and social economy.

The college received from an anony-
mous donor the sum of $1250 to be
awarded as a special fellowship for
study at the American School of Clas-
sical Study at Athens to Emily Ran-
dolph Grace, A. B. Bryn Mawr Gol-
lege, 1933, and M. A. in the next year;
Graduate Scholar in Greek, 1933-34;
and Fellow in Greek, 1934-35, and now
a graduate student at New York Uni-
versity.

Although Bryn Mawr is restricted
in the number of fellowships it can
offer this year, other colleges and as-
sociations have come to the rescue and
made many awards to members of the
graduate school. These awards are
as follows:

Dorothy Anne Buchanan, Mary
Piizabeth Garrett Fellow, has also
been awarded one of the Marjorie
Nicholson scholarships for graduate
work by Smith College.

Marion Monaco, graduate student
in Romance Languages and holder of
the Voorhees Fellowship from the New
Jersey College for Women, has again
been awarded the Voorhees Fellowship
for 1936-37. Miss Monaco will use
the fellowship for study at Bryn
Mawr.

Dorothy Schierer, Fellow in Clas-
sical Archaeology, has been awarded
a Joseph A. Skinner Fellowship and
a grant from the Frances Mary Hazen
and the Justine Carrington Coe Fel-
lowships from Mount Holyoke College.
This will enable Miss Schierer to con-
tinue her research in the field of clas-
sical archaeology and Greek at the

Isabel Stearns, holder of the Mary
Elizabeth Garrett European Fellow-
ship for the current year, studying at
Oxford, has been appointed instructor
in philosophy at Smith College for
1936-37.

The resident fellows-elect of the
college must have completed at least
one year of graduate work and are
nominated by the various departments
directly to the Board of Directors of
the college. They “represent a pretty
sure gamble on the part of the fac-
ulty; for their own part they carry a
heavy responsibility among the lighter
train of mere scholars and graduate
students in Radnor and in the semi-

nars,”
The resident fellows of 1936-87 are

listed by departments as follows:
Biology: E. Frances Stilwell, A. B. Smith

In conclusion Miss Park read the

undergraduate honor list. The stu-
dents on it have done sound and, in
some cases, praiseworthy work. They
vary in their accomplishments and in
their improvement. “Some are ma-
ture and independent, some hard work-
ers, and some, I suspect, occasionally
vary hard work by a fortunate flair.”

Six Students Attend
Hearing on Youth Act



Under the auspices of the Bryn



Nancy Angell, ’88, Helen Hamilton,

389, and Mary Dimock, ’89, and two
graduate representatives, Marion
Greenbaum and Anne Tuller, attended
the Saturday session of the Senate In-
vestigations into the proposed Ameri-
can Youth Act.

The bill, sponsored by Senator Ben:
son of Minnesota, provides for: the
extension and permanent establish-
ment of the N. Y. A. and seeks to re-
lieve the condition of unemployed
youth and to give financial aid to col-
lege students. The hearing, conducted
by Senator \Walsh of Massachusetts,
was originally
‘room of the Senate Building, but be-

to be held in an ante-.

cause of the large numbers present to .

endorse the bill. it was found neces-
sary to move the investigators and two
hundred-odd student delegates into the
Caucus Room, the largest in the build-
ing.

The Bryn Mawr representatives did
not have a chance to speak, but sub-
mitted a written report to the com-
mittee. Constance Dimock, Vassar,
38, sister of Mary Dimock, Bryn
Mawr, ’39, testified on behalf of the
delegation from Vassar.

olid steel over your head certainly makes
modern automobiles safer, and this improve-
ment like many others has resulted from
the pioneering work and vast resources of
General Motors. Few people realize the
initial cost of developing the ‘“Turret Top,”’
and it is only the fact that it is used on mil-
lions of GM cars which enables the average
person to afford its benefits.
