Ridiculous, Tragic Mimes
_ Depicted With Equal
exterity



‘By Jane Nichols, 40 —
Goodhart, October 26.—Angna’
Enters’ performance went a long
way toward living up to. her en-
thusiastic press notices. As a solo

‘ entertainer she has an uncanhy

ability of ~secoming a variety of
personalities that keep the audi-
ence continually alert and appre-
ciative.

Particularly délightful was Miss
Enters’ flair for the ridiculous. It
is the keynote of such, pieces as:
American Ballet, Artists’ Life, Oh,
the Pain of it, and Field Day,
which succeed, in being’ funny as
well as true t6 life. Her dance
with an imaginary partner in
American Ballet is extraordinarily’
clever.

In her more serious moods Miss
Enters can be infinitely sharp-
sighted, as in Time On My Hands,
and Vienna Provincial. Vienna
Provincial was the more convincing
of the two, and succeeded by the
use of original subject matter
where Time On My Hands failed
in employing the rather banal com-
parison of the rich and poor. Queen
of Heaven was the most disappoint-
ing of Miss. Enters’ numbers. It

is the most stylized thing that she!

does and consists of a series of
beautifully studied
gestures, done much too fast. The
feeling of the Madonna is lost in
a maze of —— arms and
draperies.

As a Spanish Boy-chtdinal Miss
Enters reaches new heights. The

brilliance of all her Spanish por-

LATIN PRODUCTION



" NEARS COMPLETION



: Dissimilarity of Twins

Main Probleth of Play



The Latin Play, whose name we
are unable to do justice to because

‘of the deficiencies of the printing

press, will burst forth in all its
glory on Saturday night. We pre-
dict that it will be vastly successful.
At present, the proceedings are
shrouded in a certain amount of
mystery, inasmuch as the director
is confronted with the problem of
making “the boys,” i. e. Riggs. and
Ferrer, come somewhere near re-
sembling. each other. The solution
of this seemingly insurmountable
problem is being guarded in the
deepest secrecy and we are con-
sumed with curiosity to see the out-
come. :

From what we can gather, the; *

sceriery will consist of the yellow
velvet curtains peculiar to Good-
hart, and the white fluted columns
peculiar to the Latin Play. The
costumes, it seems fairly safe to
say, will be little short of magni-
ficent. :

A dramatic touch is being given
to the production by V. French, ’42,
who has stepped into P. Copeland’s
shoes at the proverbial last minute.
The dress rehearsal will .be on
Thursday night.



The President—

At the recent meeting in
New York on October 27,
Mics Park was elected chair-
man of the College Entrance-
Board for the coming year.

Alwyne Describes
Dance Ceremonies
Of Bali Islanders

Music Room, October 31-— Mr.
Alwyne of the Music Department
presented a short lecture about the
island of Bali to provide a better
understanding of the Balinese Bal-
let which will be in Philadelphia
on November 3 and 4. The talk
was illustrated by slides and col-
ored movies of the island.

Drama forms an important part
of the ceremonial of Balinese reli-
gion. Shadow plays and dancing
are very popular. The dances are
stylized and: familiar to every na-
tive. The¢hief dance is the Legong,
performed by children up to 12
years of age. Their training, which
is very rigorous, starts when they
are about four years old. Their
bodies are wrapped with yards of
bandage to keep erect and over
these very beautiful and elaborate
costumes are worn. The Legong
interprets a. story . well- nein to
the island people.

The Kebijar is danced by a
young man in the center of a

square made by the orchestra. His

of the season. Decorations were
modestly Hallowe’enian; ° refresh-

nine members, furnished music

Though fairly small in number,
the company was; both eager and
energetic. There were few formal
intermissions, but the dancers

thusiastic even in the strenuous
waltz which was requested for the].
last number of the evening. —

u VING NEWSPAPER |
TECHNIQUE SHO WN

By Joan Gross, °42





Education and Democracy proves
the effectiveness of the Living
Newspaper as a medium for pre-
senting political and social prob-
lems and suggested the possibilitiés
of spotlight technique in dramatics.
It was a succéssful beginning; it
calls for further work and experi-
mentation in the same field.

The play was sponsored by the
Players’ Club, the Industrial Group,

and the A. S. U. The coordina- e*
‘tion of three such groups as the

maids and porters, the undergradu-
ates, and the neighborhood union
members was an accomplishment in
itself, while their purpose, enthusi-
asm and spontaneity lent the per-
formance an unusual emotional
appeal.

The scenes illustrating the strug-
gle for free public schools, negro
and workers’ education, were all
varied and entertaining, especially
when Kristi Putnam raced around
the gym balcony announcing “I’m
Harry Hopkins, I’m a very busy
man,” with Mary Kate Wheeler as
Hilda Smith pattering after her.
Mary Kate’s dramatic slide down
the fire pole was a_ triumph.

The maids did a magnificent job
with negro education. The scene
in which the doctor refuses to visit
the negro section of town was mov-
ing and unexaggerated, and Hilda
Green’s appeal to a college dean
for admittance to medical school
proved one of the most convincing
speeches of the play. The workers
‘rom the Industrial Group pre-
~ented a clever and effective scene
which utilized the spotlight tech-
nique to its full advantage. They
stood in a row, representing a belt-

line, their arms moving to the pre-

Assembly Outlines
Place of Education
In Our Government



Goodhart, October 27.—In the
second college assembly of thé year,
Education in Democracy was dis-
cussed by Miss Park, Miss Mc-
Bride, and Miss Jean Carter, head
-f the Hudson Shore Labor School.
Anne Louise Axon, president of the
Undergraduate Association, giving
reasons for the chotce of subject,
said that in the present state of
the world it is’ necessary for us to
re-examine the fundamental con-
eopts of our government and de-
termine the strength of its foun-
dation. Education is, of necessity,
one of its strongest pillars:

Miss Park, speaking on education
and democracy at the college level,
pointed out that our years at col-
lege constitute “a small rehearsal
for democracy.” The implications
of democracy are not connected
with college life or curriculum, but
with the fact that we are at the
point of voting.

Democracy, continued Miss Park,
is often confused with some form
of oligarchy or even with anarchy.
Democracy is not liberty, but the
power of the people.
of a privileged group it .is our
business to see that that power

Program Proposed
By Industrial Group



Gymnasium, .October 27.—After
the Living Newspaper play, the In-
dustrial Group held a meeting to
plan its — for the year. It
was decided devote the first
semester to health and the second
to propaganda.
The next meeting, on November
15, will be given over to housing,
and the two following meetings to
a study of. workers’ health prob-
lems. The group hopes to have as
guest speaker Dr. Alice Hamilton,
a specialist on Occupational Dis-
eases.

The meetings for the rest of the
year will center on propaganda.
The Industrial Group will coop-
erate with the International Reéla-
tions Club, which has chosen the
same topic for its main study of
the year.

Dr. Adler To Hold
Address On ‘Faith’
> At Philosophy Club

Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, Associ-
ate Professor in the Law School





Visiting Lecturer under Scott By-
chanan at St. John’s in Baltimore,
will address the Philosophy Club on
Sunday, November 5, at five o’clock,
in the Common Room. The subject
of his paper will be Faith and
Reason.

Dr. Adler’s ,wn philosophy is in
the traditior uf Aristotle and St.
Thcmas Aquinas. Miss M. J. Mc-
Campbell, president of the Philoso-
hy Club, considers Dr. Adler’s’ad-
‘Iress last year on the subject of
‘Plurality and Logics” the best
yaper that has ever been read to
he Philosophy Club. In it he de
clared that there is only one logic,
‘ut below that one there are many
logics, each built upon and arising
from the particular system of each
individual philosopher.

Mr. Adler has written several
books, among them, Dialectic; Art
nd Prudence, and What Man Has
Vade of Man.



S. Marinatos Plans

Archaeology Talks

On November 4 and 5, Dr. Spiri-
don N. Marinatos, head of the ar-
chaeological section of the Greek
Ministry of Education and _profes-
sor of prehistoric archaeology at
the University of Athens, will give
two lectures. The first lecture will
be on Cretan Cults and Minoan
Survivals in Religion in the Com-
mon Room at 4.30 Saturday after-
noon, and the second on Dr. Mari-



‘|natos’ excavations at Thermopylae,

will be at 4.30 in the Deanery.

Dr. Marinatos is the most dis-}
tinguished Greek archaeologist in
the field of Cretan excavation. He
was the head of the-museum in
Crete for a number of years, and
has carried on excavations at vari-
ous other sites. ;

Ne ew Variety

Of Courses
Giver Maids
Racial Problems Studied;

Poetry Taught





The idea of classés for the maids -
and porters is not a new one. Yet it
has always an-experimental quali-
ty, and this year’s program gives
evidence of fresh interests and pos-
sibilities. There is an unusual va-
riety of new classes, almost all of
them in subjects requested by ‘the
maids and porters, and taught by
undergraduates who are interested
in their respective fields.

The problems and history of the
negro race are being discussed with
a large group by Bess Lomax, ’41.
Although it had*been first planned
as a historical survey, the maids
have asked for a study of contem-
porary social conditions of the ne-
groes, involving some explanation
of the background and history of
the present problems. This will in-
clude anthropology as well as pure
history, and will demonstrate the
fact that the negro race must face
the same general social, political,
and economic problems that con-

‘front other members of society-in a

less intensified form.

The glee club, the dramatic club,
and the gymnasium classes in bas-
ketball are always popular and af-
ford much-needed opportunities for
relaxation and social recreation to
both maids and porters.

Because of their obligations to
speak in churches or clubs several ,
maids requested this year a class’in
public speaking. This is being
taught by Mavis Dunlop, ’41, and

ACTIVITIES DRIVE
OVERSHOOTS GOAL



Peace Council, Summer
School to Get Extra



The Activities Drive. made 4,-
533.35 dollars, topping their goal
by a Wide margin. The amount of
money which exceeded the alloted
budget will be put to use by such
organizations as the Peace Coun-
cil, the Summer School and a spe-
cial fund to cover campus emer-
gencies.

Some of this fund has already
been used to cover the cost of the-
Latin play, so that no admission
need be charged.

Miss Park, who gives 200 dollars
every year to the Summer School,
donated this amount to the Activi-
ties Drive to be used for the Sum-

mer School. The faculty and the
rreduates also tooperated, and
every resident ‘of Radnor made

some contribution, if only ten cents. :
The halls which reached-or os

ceeded their quota are: Wyndham,

Pembroke West, Rhoads North,
Rhoads South, and the German~
House.

A committee was formed to ad-
mini_ter_the funds consisting of:
Kristi Putman, Rhoads North, El-
len Stone, Rhoads South, Alice
Crowder, Pembroke East, Susie In-
galls, Pembroke West, Mabel
Faesch, Denbigh, Ann Cambell,

ganization are: Susan ‘Miller; the
Summer Camp, Nancy Howard,
the Bryn Maw Kr League, Helen

Confidentially, They Stink

The Dies Committee is probably the most un-American thing
in the country. Even after duly considering the warning that
freedom must be defined as liberty without license, we still hold
that what the Dies Committee purports to stamp out remain
essential human rights. But for the sake of argument we are
willing to accept the value of a Congressional Committee existing
to protect the rights of a majority by investigation’ of seditious
activities of a minority.

But, having accepted that much, we quarrel with the Dies
Committee on its own grounds. We don’t like its star witnesses.
The committee is supposed to be a government body. It should
then conduct its investigation on a ‘legal and impartial basis.
But an investigation into its witnesses has shown that. most of
them are already prejudiced about the subject on which they have
come to testify—for instance, a union man who has been expelled
reports against the union involved.. These people volunteer their
services, and it is a notable fact that the‘Dies Committee has more
success with them than with those who come before it as official
representatives-of organizations:

Further, we don’t like the Dies Committee’s methods. It sup-
presses evidence by the wording of its questions, by forcing a yes-
or-no answer and then refusing to accept a qualification.

We don’t like its appeal to popular prejudice, through the
use of emotionally toned words. Dies uses the word “communist”
to brand an organization as seditious and under the control of
sinister foreign governments, when actually the Communist party
is as legal a party as the Republican or Democratic. After all,
-— both of them once took a great deal from those insidious foreign
propagandists, Montesquieu and Locke.

And, having accepted its position, we don’t like what it
achieves. It got Browder on a charge of using a false passport.
They could get Garbo on the same thing, probably seven or eight
times a year, when she is around.













Shall They Have Music?

. Long standing traditions of Bryn Mawr frown on academic |’

eredit for applied arts of any kind. Without attacking the prin-
ciple for the moment, we cannot see that its existence rules .out
a major course in music...The elements of musical criticism

should be no less worthy of study than those of art, and the latter *

is carried on with no dependence on practical ability. °

A survey of the catalogues of Mount Holyoke and Radcliffe,
whose standards we may assume. (only for purposes of argument,
of course) to be equal to those of Bryn Mawr, shows a large choice
.of courses in theory, as well as in history and criticism, both by
periods and by styles, mediums, and forms.- The Julliard School
finds material for instruction in everything from methods of
analysis of modern musie to the aacislagical: aspects of community
singing.

As they are now given,} the music courses“at Bryn Mawr
~would not form the basis for } stiff academic major.
- of time need be spent—that is, ‘from the point of view of passing
~ the ‘examination—on reading and papers for the first year couise.
It seems ineredible, however, that there is an actual” Searaity of
extant literature on the history and criticism of music, and in fact
the library in the record room indicates the opposite.

In the case of harmony and counterpoint, we can again only
argue that Mount Holyoke has managed to scratch together three
full year courses each in harmony and counterpoint, in contrast
to the four half units, all with light preparation, offered at Bryn
Mawr. In addition, we already have the advantage over most

He has gone beyond even the shad-

the four seasons or the creation of

Rouge et Noir, one of his latest
creations, based on Shostakovitch’s
First Symphony, is a direct spiri-
tual descendant of ' Choreatium,
Symphony Fantastic, and last
year’s Beethoven’s Seventh Sym-
phony. Massine again reveals the
great artistic possibilities in the
union of classical movement and
modern ballet. Rouge et Noir is
not merely a series of pleasing
movements. It is a transient pat-
tern of exquisite linear designs ap-
proaching pure abstraction. Ma-
tisse has designed a simple almost
crude background of contrasting
primary dancers move, dressed in mono-
chrome costumes. The mass af-
fects achieved in .Massine’s earlier
ballets are realized again. In con-
trast are the delicate figures of two
or three of the principals who from

wires moving across the stage in
perfect harmony. These solo parts

Miss Ely Comments
‘On Local Nominees
For Next Election



A great deal of local interest and
agitation is being worked up over
the Montgomery County elections,
which will take’ place next week.

In a special interview with the
News, Miss Gertrude Ely, Demo
cratic candidate for the. State Leg-

islature in 1934 explained the sys-

tem of office-holding and déefffed a
few of the issues in the jeicom
ing struggle.

The County elects three Conimis-
sioners: two from _ the strongest
party and one from that in the mi-
nority—that is, Miss Ely said, two
Republicans and one Democrat.
Commissioner “Fred Peters |‘ and
Commissioner Hillegas, the present
Republican occupants, are running
again and do not, expect any stiff
resistance. The real battle will be
waged over the Democratic choice.
Commissioner Potter is up for re-
election, opposed by Mr. Raymond
Mensch. Mr. Mensch, a farmer
from the western part of the Coun-
ty, out-polled his rival in the pri-
maries by a 2,000 majority and is
said to be a very sound man. It is
whispered that Commissioner Pot-
ter has secured a certain amount
of Republican goodwill—a rumor
which may swing Democratic votes
to his opponent.

Also up for election are candi-
dates for Commissioner of seven of
the 18 Lower Merion Township
districts. One is due frdém West
Bryn Mawr. The Democrats are
anxious to gain a majority in this
part of the election, and have
promised that under their admin-

Education in Our
Government Outlined



Continued from Page One

The privileged group is that
which possesses the prerequisites of.
a decent life: more than a living
income, education, and_ security. '
Members of this privileged group,
have more opportunities, ability to
develop themselves. For this rea-
.ser® they are the-final arbiters in a
democratic state.

Our. generation, peerrneee Miss
Park, must work harder than any |
other to ensure our democratic pre-
rogatives. We must begin think-
ing of our attitude Yoward other
members of the demotracy. We
must see to it that démocratic
privilege is spread to po
within the state. “s

Miss MacBride, discussing de-'
mocracy and education in elemen-
tary and secondary schools, gave
statistics to show the great in-
ercase in attendance in _ recent;
years. The problem: facing edu-:
cators is to provide the average



istration no such surpluses as ‘the
million-dollar one rolled up by the
Republicans will be allowed to ac-
cumulate, while the crying needs of
Public Health and Housing remain
unanswered. The present Judge of
the County Court of Appeals and
the District Attorney are also hop-
ing for re-endorsement at the polls.

Miss Ely laid special emphasis. '
in her interview, on the value of!
interest in and work for a good |
local government. Sound district’
administration will be the founda-
tion for sound. national govern-
ment; district elections are often
straws to show which way the big-
ger winds will blow.

Maids Have Courses
On Negro History



Continued on Page Four

Evelyn Smadbeck, 42. The maids
have been giving short talks, pre-
pared and extemporaneous,: and
criticizing each other on the points

va they have learned. They seem very
oised after only two classes, and
fave many ideas for future talks.

A course in the reading and ap-
preciation of poetry has also been
requested this year. Isota Tucker,
40, and “Fi Garbat, ’41, have
started with a brief survey. of the
types of poetry.. They plan to go
on with further discussion and crit-
icism, and may also sponsor origi-

al contributions from the class.
Boe Allen Poe has proved the

‘popular poet so. far, and a
life part of the class discussion

has been devoted tothe love affair}
of Browning and Eliza) th Barrett.

Another English coura®-is being
given by Mary Wheeler, ’40, in lit-
erary appreciation and creative
writing. -Since only one class has
been held so far, plans are still
rather indefinite. The present-work
under discussion is‘ Mark Twain’s
Huckelberry Finn.

Helen Link and Susan Miller, ’40,
are to present a course in “general
science” which will probably be de-
voted purely to biology. The class
will do some dissection of frogs,
studying especially the nervous and
circulatory systems.

‘German and French are being
given this year, the former by Ruth| -
Lilienthal, ’40. One of the maids
in the German house learned to
speak-German very well last year
and this success has given inspira-
‘tion to the class. H'ldegarde Hunt
41, and Grace Dolowitz, 39, are
teaching French.

Typing is. taught this year by
Eudora Richardson, ’41; Elizabeth
Dodge, ’41, teaches shorthand, and
Elizabeth Pope, ’40, poster making.
Elleen Durning, ’41, is giving cur-
rent events, and Judith Bregman,
*42, supervises knitting. |

Deborah Calkins and Ann Spil-
lers, ’40, have been active in ar-
ranging the classes to fit the inter-
ests of both maids. and undergrad-
uate volunteers. For the present,
classes are using books taken from
the library by undergraduates.
Miss Terrien and Miss Recd have
promised to devote part of the gen-
eral donations to the formation of
a fundamental library for the
classes. Meanwhile contributions

Mr. Fenwick began his Current
Events discussion with an account
f the progress of the Neutrality
i'l during the last week.
evised' form the bill passed the
Senate, by a vote of 65-30. It has
now been referred for adjustment
to a conference committee of the
Fouse and Senate. \ Tomorrow
‘here will probably beh debate in
the House to instruct the conferees.

England and France, have been
afraid of an offensive in the West
and Germany has heen waiting to
learn the attitude of Russia. This
was made clear in Molotoff’s speech
this morning. He said that al-
t though Russia intended to remain
neutral it would give Germany eco-

nomic aid. It is possible that. with

a close “tie-up” between Russia and
Germany time and the blockade
may no longer be on the side of
England and France.

Mr. Fenwick then turned the
disctission over to Mrs. Manning,
who spoke on the recent elections in
Quebec. Quebec is almost a sepa-
rate entity from the rest of Canada:
The French Canadians completely
control it, holding all the public
offices and all government posi-
tions.

At this recent election Dupleissy
was defeated by Godbu, 5-1. In
‘936, Dupleissy defeated Tachereau
‘yy a majority of 8-1, after accus-
ing him of corruption, nepotism,

and “selling out” to the English
1nd American capitalists. Had the
Dupleissy movement continued,
French Canada would have cut
itself off from the Empire, but it
ws realized that the future of
French Canada lay in the British
Empire. The people and the Catho-
lic Church, which has great influ-
once, were awakened to this fact
by the threat of all the French
Canadian ministers to resign from
Parliament should Dupleissy win
out. The greatest help to under-
standing with the British has been
the assurance that there will be no
conscription in Canada.

began to discuss, in simple lan-
guage, the problems of wages,
strikes and collective bargaining.
The play closed on a note of pro-
test, first expressed by the meek
“voice of: the present,” then by
cries of “W. P. A. appropriations
have been cut,” “My state spends
twice as much for white education
as for negro education,” and
“They’ve given our money to the

scene was not so powerful as some
of the preceding ones, its import
was salvaged from the jumble of
voices and it made its point: Some-
