Partisan Umpires ' Fail
to Save Student
Ball Team From 21-9 Rout by Faculty
May 7.—In spite of all efforts of
distinctly partisan umpires, the fac-
ulty baseball team defeated the stu-
dent nine with the overwhelming score
of 21-9. The faculty, their team with
one exception male and brawny, was
at an advantage both in hitting and
fielding.
Mr. J. Stogdell Stokes, a member
of the Board of Directors, officiated
for the first four innings. - As an
umpire Mr. Stokes won the approval
of student spectators, for whenever

Hutchison and Martin starred for
the losing team. The former pitched
a fast, if somewhat erratic, ball. In

sity enjoyed the game and left the
field vowing to secure revenge in a
return match.

the game was a complete rout.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and perfécted the

certain ritual for the handling of
Ophelia; she is pale and colorless,
and even in the mad scene she leaves
out the more questionable verses of
her song. Lillian Gish, who played
opposite Gielgud, has developed her
acting ability since the time of her
movie career, when she used to go
from tree to tree, defending her hon-
or, and while her characterization, up
to the mad scene, was commonplace

king, Laertes, and Horatio in the
Howard production the better, but

anything elise the fundamental differ-

The finest realistic actor on the

none the less incapable of playing
Othello, whose rapid motivation makes
him one of the most difficult” charac-
ters in all of Shakespeare. The fact
that he, consistently fails to realize
that Iago is-a villain seents merely to
be a poignant example of arrested de-
velopment. The importance of the part
lies in the -dramatic .and emotional
power of his lines. Thus, Walter Hus-
ton failed completely because, lacking
an “orchestrated” voice, he failed to
do justice to the poetry.
Maxwell Anderson, the only contem-
porary playwright who is interested
in the theatrical value of language it-
self, has had three plays produced

be sacrificed to modern progress.
In spite of Mr. Anderson’s individ-
ual achievement, this has been an act-

tion by Maurice Evans’ appearance
