Colleges Will Cooperate
In Oscar Wilde’s Satire

“Importance of Being “Earnest” is
Haverford Spring Play





The Cap and Bells Club of Haver-
ford College will present The Im-
portance of Being Earnest by Oscar
Wilde on Friday, April 22, at 8.15.
Four Bryn Mawr students are in the
cast.

A hit of the 90s, the play’ is chiefly

, sustained by such brittle witticisms

as: “There are only two things to do
with a woman. Make love to her if
she is pretty, to some one else if she’s
not.” Deceptions lead the plot through
humorous intricacies to a happy end-
ing in which most of the participants

are named :Ernest. The Haverford)’

production will be staged in period
costumes, collected from old trunks in
attics.

‘A Profession for the









PARALLEL TO ETHIOPIAN
CONQUEST SEEN IN AIDA

Paris (NNS) — Giuseppi Verdi's
famous opera Aida is heard no more



jin Italy. The story of this opera is

«|well known. Aida, an Ethiopian slave
girl in Egypt, is the daughter of
Amonasro, king of Ethiopia. She was
captured by the Egyptians during
their wars in Ethiopia. In the suc-
ceeding campaigns her father, Amo-
nasro, is also made prisoner. She
falls in love with Rhadames, captain
of the Egyptian guard, whereupon
she and her father try to persuade
Rhadames to become a traitor to
Egypt.and to help the Ethiopians re-
cover their freedom.
Substitute Fascist Italy for Egypt
and the opera is up-to-the-minute
politics. It opens with the words:
Everywhere is. heard the voice of
the Ethiopians
Breathing defiance. #
Amonasro (read Haile Selassie) ad-
monishes his daughter:
Thou: rememberest that the merci-
less Egyptian
Profaned our houses, temples and

altars;
Mothers, old men and children he
slew.
He scores the Egyptians with savage
rage:
Up, then!

Rise, Egyptian legions!
With fire, destroy our cities—
Spread terror, carnage and death.
’ To your fury there’is no longer
check!
Though they have lost their king, the
Ethiopians determine to fight on for
freedom and deliverance. Says the
captive Amonasro:
Then delay not.
roused
Our people—everything is ready.
And Rhadames confirms the fact that
“once more to fierce battle Ethiopia’s
peoples have united their soldiers’
ranks.”
The parallelism is so striking that
Aida was taken out of Italian reper-
toires.
