Marxist Philosophy Not Easily

Assimilated by Solid
Middle Class

WORKER IS RESIGNED



TO MODEST AMBITIONS ||



Goodhart Hall, May 3.—One per-
son’s interpretation of the philosophy
of the British workman, says. Mrs.
Barbara Wootton, must necessarily
include generalizations that are both
superficial and misleading. The phi-
losophy differs widely in political out-
look and temperament, but the British
working class itself is united for
three reasons: because it is British,
because it works for weekly wages,
and because the-wages are. limited.

The workman’s philosophy, as such,
is the same the whole industrial world
over. It is one of resignation, of not
expecting much. from: life, and it is
tempered in Great Britain by only
slight expectation of escape. The
worker expects to be a worker all his
life, never a captain of industry, or
even a participant in the stock mar-
ket. Escape for him is pure chance,
perhaps as the winner in a football
pool or a racing sweepstake.

Also in common with other coun-
tries is his potential envy of more
fortunate economic classes, not flam-
ing envy, but a potential response to
appeals. All working classes have
at some time expressed their resent-
ment at the unevenness of distribu-
tion. In reality, their ambitions are
modest; with a secure income of five
pounds a .week their castles-in-the-
air will be realized. . Nevertheless,
they display characteristic outbursts
of mass emotion; all classes could
participate in an event like George
V’s funeral. The coronation, how-
ever, will not be attended by typical
British people, because of the price of
tickets, about a week’s earning for
low-paid workers. The typical_peo-
ple attend the dress rehearsal and
make themselves useful by accustom-
ing the royal horses to cheering.

Another aspect of the British work-
man’g philosophy is His desire for

rity.. Workers will forego the
opportunity of rising if théy can
stay where they are, and pathetically

_ great sacrifices are made by parefits

for the education of their children.
For the women, security does not
mean freedom. The typical working
class housewife is a slave; to her “a
good husband” means one who hands
over the housekeeping money regu-
larly on Friday, does not habitually
get drunk, and stays home occasionally

Kittredge Discusses _.
Shakespeare’s Villains

Intellectual. Hatred in Edmund
Contrasted With Diabolic
Passion in Iago





EVIL IS AARON’S GOOD



Goodhart, April 29.—“I trust you
Mr. George Lyman Kittredge as he
began the Ann_ Elizabeth Sheble
Memorial Lecture on Shakespeare’s
Villains, After this introduction to
his-first visit to Bryn Mawr, he im-
mediately entered into a detailed dis-
cussion of the’ villains, quoting ex-
tensivel om the texts of the plays.

Aaron in Andronicus was in
love with villainy, said Mr. Kittredge.
Crime was his element, and his creed,
liké _Satan’s, was “evil be thou my

The fact that’ he was born
under Saturn meayt much to our an-
cestors who. put/ great -faith in
astrology. Aamo one redeeming
feature was his/ love for his baby,
whose lullaby, “said Mr.— Kittredge,
“Marlowe couldn’t have written.”

If there had been no Aaron there
would be no Othello. Similarly, the
character of Iago had a direct influ-
ence on the development of Edmund
in King Lear. _Both had legitimate
motives for resentment, but Iago’s
hatred is passionate, diabolical,
whereas Edmund’s love for: crime is
calmly intellectual, bearing neither
hatred nor malice. When Coleridge
called Iago’s malignity “motiveless”
he was wrong, for the villain had two
passionate motives: a sense of in-
justice, to which he merely alludes;
and suspicion of Othello, fostered by
jealousy and based on rumor, to
which he refers in his soliloquies. *

Edmund, unlike Iago, is dispassion-
ate. He has no hatred for his vic-
tims.. He has, however, a valid case,
being wronged first by the law of:
primogeniture which cut him, a
youngest son, from: any inheritance,



and secondly by society’s distinction

mate” son. A natural son, he says in
the -true Elizabethan manner, should
get natural rights. \

Iago, too, is wronged when Cassio
is promoted over his head. Before
that he had done nothing villainous.
He used Roderigo for sport, to be
sure, but that was not bad form in
Shakespeare’s time. Resentment, not
urder, is therefore justified. At
first ‘he has no thought ‘of. murder.
He is merely trying to use his oppor-
tunity to get Cassio’s place, to worry
Othello, and perhaps even to win
Desdemona. In other words he is a
typical army officer in Elizabethan
drama and life.

Don John, the bastard brother in
Much Ado. About Nothing, is not as
clever as Iago or Edmund. He is a

Petrified F orest Given
By Cap and Bells Club



‘Haverford and Bryn Mawr’ Cast

Share Honors in Play



Haverford, April 30.—Even exclud-
ing the fact that The Petrified Forest
has an unusual number of male parts,
it is not hard to understand why The
Cap and Bells Club chose it for their
spiing performance. True to Sher-
wood tradition, the play evolves from
the chance gathering of a cross-section
of humanity, motivated by some com-
mon, external source of tension. -This
provides almost every member of the
cast with an important and individual
part.

In particular, .T. Simmon’s old
grandpa, T. Watkin’s amorous, gum-
chewing football star, and R. Aucott’s
cherubic Jackie were exceptionally
well played. Margaret Otis, ’39, and
Sam Withers as the discontented
Chisolms, C. Baum as Herb, Ellen
Matteson, ’40, as the Mexican’ cook,
and linesmen, gangsters and legion-
naires, while they may have erred on
the-side of over-acting, were all-dis-
tinct personalities, rigid ‘parts of a
complicated counter-point of character
and diction.

There are, none the less, certain

difficulties involved in an amateur pro-

duction ofthis play: the fact that al-
most every member of the audience
had seen either the Broadway or movie
version and that practically no acting
and a great many technical problems
occur during the course of its two acts.
These were handled with notable suc
cess. While the personality of Leslie

Howard almost completely dominated

the Broadway production, the script
does not: necessarily call for this in-
terpretation. The play belongs to
Gabby as well, and Wirginia Lautz,
89, showed this throughout her per-
formance. A_ paradoxical’ character
reflecting the drabnes$ of a filling sta-
tion and the poetry of Frangois Vil-
lon, she seemed to deserve Alan’s sac-
rifice; she was naive, direct and genu-
ine as well as romantic. This two-

‘sided personality must have been hard

Little May Day is Occasion
For “Intelligent Rowdiness”

As Usual





LUCY KIMBERLY, ’37,
CROWNED MAY QUEEN



_-This year’s May Day, which broke
with gradually mounting brilliance
on the morning of the 30 of April,
was again the occasion for what Miss
Park: termed an “Intelligent rowdi-
ness.” But like the day itself, this‘
attitude among the students was a
cumulative process. At 5.30 a. m.
neither intelligence” nor rowdiness
were particularly noticeable among
either the sophomores, who prepared
coffee and rolls and then woke the
seniors with singing and baskets of
flowers, or among the seniors who

.soon discovered that the morning was

not only “new” but practically non-
existent when they arose to partake
of the afore-mentioned coffee and rolls
before setting out to wake Miss Park.

At seven o’clock the rest of the
college gatheted under Rockefeller
tower to hear the seniors’ Hymn to
the Sun, which had put in an appear-
ance by this time: After watching
the seniors come downstairs, the presi-

dent of the sophomore class, Nancy _,

Toll, crowned the president of the
senior’ class, Lucy’ Kimberley, Queen
of the May. Each class breakfasted in
a different hall. Thus fortified, the
entire student body entered into the
spirit of the day with -true Eliza-
bethan abandon.

Independent couples began to side
and atm, small groups. collected to
rehearse the May Day songs ang
those who owned cameras prepared to
immortalize the events of the morn-
ing. Even the ‘sombre nucleus of re-
porters, who had been standing by
with detached curiosity, jigged up
and_down a—bitwhen the brassy
booms of the :traditional band an-
nounced the arrival of the senior class,
while the three lower. classes joined
the hop-skip-and-jump, of the seniors.
The college at large rushed to @ircle
the four May-poles standing upon
Merion Green.

» When, the May-poles were wound,

Miss Park presented Lucy Kimberley —

with an amber necklace, which she -

said she had had great difficulty in

hiding from the seniors when they

came to wake her, and Miss Kim-

berley cast a rhymed glance into the

future:

“So as the last will and bequest of
these ninety-four

Janus-headed guinea pigs e’er they
go out of door,

I offer past and present

Conference Policy

Spring.seems to be open season for conferences, and Bryn Mawr
has been represented at several having to do with such things as
literature, politics, and the dance. Our delegates’ ideas on the relative
amounts of pleasure, useful information, experience, and time wasted,
would be of interest to everyone who has contemplated the possibility
of practical inter-collegiate cooperation. )

Representatives from Bryn Mawr to the Model League at Cornell
found the weekend very pleasant, and the program stimulating and
informative. This conference is a well-established one approved «by
the politics departments in many. colleges. The delegates are usually
well-informed in their fields and enthusiastic about the idea of learning
from each other.
gram would be carefully planned and the schedule consistently fol-
lowed. The sort,of information gathered had some actual academic
value. 7
Our delegaj#6n of Duncan dancers which gave a performance at
the National Physical Education Conference in N. Y. found that its
chief valfie for them was seeing the dancing’ as it is done leges and schools. The representatives at the Princeton Literary Cen-
ference, on the other hand, didhot hear any discussion about the prac-
tical literary work at the other colleges; and the most valuable past



experience to them was the opportunity to meet one or two of the|

distinguished literary men who visited it. Even these men were asked
to discuss such large questions, ney felt, that their ideas were more
interesting than concrete.

With the countless invitations which the college receives to various
meetings, we can well afford to have a “conference policy” especially
since the college can not possibly excuse cuts for those who go out of a
spirit of conviviality. But there must be some students who really have
confidence in the possibility of provocative discussion among college
groups, and they will be interested in ¢lfe experience of our pioneers in
this field. ‘The general concensus of opinion seems to be that small,
well-planned meetings, requiring careful preparation before attending,
are likely to be more fruitful of ideas and more rewarding in the long
run than large and unselective gatherings, no matt@r how glamorous
may be the personalities attending, or how magnificent the general aim.



They Don’t Wear Pants

Almost every spring the Self-government Association issues a
general statement of strong feeling against the state of. negligée in
which students appear on pleasant weekends. This usually has- the
effect of producing wise remarks from every undergraduate who leaves
They feel that the question of dress should
be a matter of. private opinion and personal pride. Nevertheless, the
fact remains that on Sundays and holidays, the matter of dress on
campus is a question of public opinion, and ensembles which we con-

. sider perfectly ¢ decent, to those unaccustomed to our ways seem quite

striking.

Last Sunday we happened to observe the members of someone’s
family with differ ulty making their way up the front steps of a certain
hall, past a-group of innocent looking freshmen.with freshly sunburned
legs. Just possibly, this sight may have, been offensive to them at that
time arid place. We should like to reiterate the rules against halters on
eampus, the rules against sunbathing in unprotected spots, and add a
_ few strong feelings of our own. We are of the opinion that a little
| tact in these matters will go a long way. We suggest that those who
~ wish to wear shorts on Sundays should stay on the lower campus, and
only appear beyond Taylor either carrying a tennis racquet, or with the
air of just having put a tennis racquet down. Athletics are attractive
to almost everyone. Shorts in the Inn on Sunday have often excited
‘comment, and if they are worn from the halls to the library, we feel
. that students should at least not linger in thera on hall or library steps.

Subtle Interpretations

Evoked by Oral Boners



_ Create “Bracelet Clocks”
_ Out of Wrist Watches

The Orals are over for the year,
but their fame is not dead, at least
among the readers who disclosed a
goodly crop of boners. The mistakes
in French were few. but showed the
subtle twist for which the language is
known.
dres” was said to mean “to be more
easy on the cinders.” “On veut échap-
per au spleen” was “one wants to
escape to one’s inside.” “Aux trains
de plaisir succédent les trains a’ennui”
truthfully stated that “feelings of
boredom succeed excursion trains.”

The Stilbliiten (boners to you) on
the German Oral smacked of Gertrude
Stein or, more simply, Edward Lear.
According to investigation of the blue-
books, “six bratelet clocks continued
active,” “remained hail” and “became
even more hearty.” “‘This wonderful
viscosity of clocks is due to beryllium.
Beryllium was only discovered in 1798,
but its application was possible in the
tenth century.” It seems to have hap-
pened this way: “Two German chem-
ists found a process of obtaining with
difficulty the prize, purely theoretical,
physical-chemical reflection.”

Then followed an analysis of tea.
“Ted has been drunken in China since
800 A. B. The Chinesemen grow their
tea with the salt and do the same with
eating. In Japan festive ceremonies
are mixed with the drink that plays
a large role on cultural holidays.
Every Japanese worker carries his tea
outside a bag. and a vessel for tea
standing beside him.” There was

Genii

.|some difference of opinion on this last

custom. Some one even rumored that
“each Japanese worker prepares his
tea with rice out of a gun.”

PUBLIC OPINION







To the Editor of The College News:

We should like to protest loudly
against the wearing of halters, halter-
necked dresses and low backed dresses
on the campus, particularly in the
cloisters and at the Inn.: There is a
Self-Government rule that halters are
to be worn only in secluded places.
This does not include the tennis
courts. It is too bad that good taste
among graduates does not voluntarily
extend this rule to all the campus at
all times. «

no one weighing over 125 pounds wear
shorts, and that those who do, see
that they are carefulf¥ cut. The new
short tennis dresses are attractive and
inexpensive: (No-adv’t.)

morhing Mrs. Manning disclosed to
the college the decision of the faculty

whiehthe seniorssrecently petitioned:
it has been found impossiblé to grant
such a period because of the short
time remaining before examinations
start. However, in token of the fac-
ulty’s “deep sympathy” with the
seniors in their “dire troubles,” it has
been decided to allow unlimited senior
cuts during Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week.

Mrs.- Manning also brought up the
proposition rejected later in the day
by seniors of holding the final ex-
aminations in the afternoons, so as
to solve the problem of inadequate
space in Taylor.

Once more Mrs. Manning defined
the position of the faculty with re-
gard to comprehensives.
yery-strongly the folly of too much
cramming on unimportant details and
suggested that rest and thought would
be of more value for most people in
preparation for the coming crisis than
wearisome thumbing over old notes.
She assured the seniors that the com-
prehensives were really “comprehen-
sive’; that there will be an extra-
ordinary amount of choice of ques-
tions; and that considerable freedom
will be: allowed in.the methods of ap-
proach. It is hoped that the examina-
tions will show the students’
of fundamental principles rather than
a top-heavy supply of factual infor-
mation. At any rate, as Mrs. Man-
ning said in conelusion, the marking
will not be_too strict; and the gen-
eral attitide of the faculty will be
tolerant, at least during the next few
years while our comprehensives are
still in an experimental state.

Mrs. Manning will be in her office
all day Thursday to discuss with the
seniors specific probléms raised by
the comprehensives.



The Lantern to Change
Present Election Policy



(Especially contributed by Sylvia
Wright, ’38.)

The Lantern Board has decided to
inaugurate a new system of try-outs.
The present method is likely to make
the mental approach of the board in-
bred Pecause there is no influx of
new opinion throughout four issues.
Furthermore, the board is obliged to

decide permanently on the basis, of
one creative and one eritieal pis of
work, which do not give suf-

ficient indication of talent. The only
alternative to this method is one which
the board wishes to consider beneath
its dignity, that of stealing papers.
from the English basement, which,
while it gives the board more perspec-

them (with apologies to the English
basement) struggling with academic
impedimenta and therefore not quite
at their best.

To give the candidate more chance
to show her abilities, the board has
decided that for each of the next three
issues it will take on as contributing
editors two different people; and it
will make its final decision from these
six after the second issue next year.
The third issue will be produced by
the combined boards, which will give
the new board an opportunity to work
together under the supervision of the

‘lold--before they produce an issue of

their own. The new board will, as a
whole, be better trained, although its
individual members” will not - have
served on the Lantern as long as in

when the majority of the board is in
one class and only one or two meni-
bers are left, as will be the case next
year. The. greatest disadvantage is

Sanderson’s Orchestra
Provides Old Tunes

Square Dance Figures Are Called
By Jesse Slingluff

“First lady out
She goes to the right.
And gives him a swing for me, dear;
When she’s had fun
Goes back where she came from
And swings with her Spanish Cabal-
lero.”

The few who heard faint rumors of
a Square Dance and wandered down
to the Gym on Saturday night found
Christian. Sanderson’s orchestra (two
banjos, accordian, piano and a large
saxaphone played by a very’small boy)
in full swing, and a score of dancers
gyrating with more vigor than grace.
A_-floor- still slippery in spots from the
too-thorough waxing for the Under-
graduate Dance accounted for several
spills when the “Spanish Caballeros”
swung their partners too enthusiastic-
ally. Mr. Jesse Slingluff called the
figures and taught the small group
new dances which have been impos-
sible in the larger gatherings.

Hot and dizzy couples welcomed the
intermissions, when they refreshed
themselves with ‘cookies and punch.
The more hardy ones procured a bas-
ketball and played “Keep Away” up
and. down the floor. Mr. Sanderson
in one interval produced a, battered
“camera which he perched on a chair
and aimed carefully at the orchestra;
then he asked one of the dancers to

After this example of Bryn Mawr
intelligence, the undergraduate body
moved down to Goodhart Hall where,
on a-stage flanked with) May Day
baskets, Miss Park read’ a list of
scholarships and honors. Dewilda
Naramore, ’38, besides winning the
coveted Hinchman prize, maintains at
this time the highest average in the
junior class. :

The class of 1937 then took their
beribboned hoops, sticks and various
articles of sentimental value up_ to
senior row where, after a brief rolling
of the hoops, they were distributed
among the other undergraduates.
Finally dividing into the usual rec-
tangular- formation, each class sang
its particular songs until classes could

no longer be recognized.

HE delightful effect of smoking Camels with your
meals and afterwards has been proved again and

again in the great

laboratory of human experience.

Explorers, champion athletes, people in hazardous out-

door work, as well as millions of men and women in
homes and offices, find that Camels get digestion off to a
good start and make the perfect ending to a meal.When
you enjoy Camels, you are rewarded with an increased
flow of digestive fluids—alkaline digestive fluids—so
important to good digestion. And you can enjoy Camels
as often as you like! Camels don’t get on your nerves.

‘Group Dancing Recital



And Sarabande; Whole Group
Does Choreography — :



MOST DANCES MODERN



(Especially contributed by Mary

McMillin Theater, Columbia Uni-
versity, April 23.—The Dance Lecture
of the American ‘Physical Education
Association presented a recital by
college and university groups in New
York. Eight colleges or universities
were represented, Bryn Mawr being
one of them. Eleven’ members of the
Dancers’ Club. participated and did
a Sarabande and Gavotte. Bonnie
Allen, ’38, created an inspired mood
in the slow movements. The chore-
ography of the program was done by
the group as a whole. It is difficult
to compare the dancing of our group
with that of the other colleges as
Bryn Mawr is the only exponent of
the Duncan method. The other groups
feel that the Modern Dance is more
suited to their capabilities and in-
terests. E

The Barnard group presented a
program of five dances. The compo-
sition in almost every case was care-
fully planned and in the Bach chorale
was exceptionally good.” Their Ballet
D’Action was very. reminiscent of
Martha Graham’s work, and it was
interesting to see how her ideas can
be modified and adapted to the needs
of a college group.

The most striking merit of the
Hunter College group was the fine
show of movement which they main-
tained throughout the four numbers
which they presented. One number
in particular, called Berceuse, com-
bined grace, rhythm and dramatic
sense. Another, a Chicken Reel, which
was an abstracted form of the old
original dance was cleverly executed.

The Dance.Group of N.Y.U did a
remarkable work of choreography on,
their dance suite. Attired in long
flesh-colored dresses, they interpreted
the moods of unreality in the sense of
confusion and of aloofness—and then
turned to reality to charm the audi-
ence with their clever antics; Though
the parts were distinct they were well
coordinated, so that their work left
a lasting impression on the spectator.

A note of special interest was the
Springfield College group. This was
a group of six men who were not

fully able to avoid the effeminism
which naturally springs to the mind
at the mention of a male dancer. Their
Indian Hoop Ceremonial Dance, per-
formed by the light of a campfire in
the middle of the stage, “combined the
atmosphere which that mysterious,
silent race has always maintained.
Cutting the Sugar Cane demonstrated
the strength of movement that a man
can accomplish.

The Sarah Lawrence Dance Club
chose the comic as. their mood, and
consistently maintained it, going from
the most extreme and fantastic sur-
realistic movements in Rondo Eccen-
tric to a rather fine slow” movement.
It was an unfortunate program com-
bination, however, for it lacked va-
riety. Therefore, the creative efforts
of the last two numbers were com-
pletely lost.on an already comedy-
saturated audience which would not
even be stirred by the pink hair rib-
bons donned for their last number
March Madness.

As regards Teachers’ College one

precision of their training into their
own endeavors toward others in the
educational world.
a control of movement throughout
their five dances. As is so often the
case, this control was not accompanied
by great creative ability, and one was
impressed with a sort of ecclecticism
in their work.

The Vassar group, becomingly ar-
rayed in blue, seemed to have special-
ized in taking every beat, for they
never broke rhythm in either half or
double, time: Their composition was
original, their execution faultless, but
the consistency of their timing and
the similarity. of rhythm in_ their
three numbers made one think of
automatons.

The recital as a whole was a most
interesting experience, and one that
should be repeated more often, for
there is as much to learn from their
defects as from one’s own. By com-
parison with others a constructive
criticism may be developed which will
be of benefit to all.

Kittredge Discusses
Shakespeare’s Villains



Continued from Page One

“Claudian malcontent,” the type of
person met with frequently in drama
and real life. He is a real character,
as alive as either Iago or Cymbeline.

In Macbeth the hero and the villain
are one and the same. The play is,
in the first’ place, a‘ tragedy of Fate.
Macbeth is helpless in the hands of
the three sisters. He feels his moral
responsibility, and becomes entangled
in a universe he cannot unriddle.
Secondly, the play brings about the
ruin of a noble nature,yfor at the
outset Macbeth is a devoted and loyal
ASubject.. Lastly, Macbeth is a tragedy
of wedded love. On the one hand
there is Macbeth himself, poetic in
temperament, lacking will and too full
of kindness. On the other hand is
Lady Macbeth, ambitious for her
husband rather than herself. She is
the one who prods him when he pro-
crastinates. The real tragedy lies in
the husband’s apathy when he hears
— "She should have
died hereafter.”

Hamlet is the tragedy of-the whole
royal family of Denmark and the
family of Polonius. Hamlet and_his
uncle are bitter antagonists. His
uncle Claudius, has suffered greatly
in modern presentations which have
cut his speeches because of the great
length of the play. Since Hamlet’s
opponent is thus weakened, Hamlet is
also. weakened proportionally, and so

Minnie Newton. Will Play:
Voodoo Woman

If an eccentric old millionnaire
stipulates in his will that the heir to
his vast possessions shall not be -re-
vealed until the midnight 20, years af-
ter his death, what happens at the
stroke of 12? -This question will be
answered in Goodhart Hall, on Satur-
day, May eighth, when the maids and
porters of Bryn Mawr present their
version of- The Cat and the Canary.

John Whittaker plays the part of
Paul, the hero. It is a large and
amusing role, but unfortunately offers
ng opportunity for dancing. Although
more men are acting in the play this
year, women still have to. take some
Nellie Davis of
Pembroke, is said to be excellent as
the young Charlie. Her only difficulty
comes in the. love-scenes, when she
grows embarrassed and. cannot. use
her arms appealingly. Minnie New-
ton has graduated from a tight-fitting
butler’s suit of last year’s play into
the mysterious draperies of a voodoo
woman, and Hilda is displaying real
talent in the part of Annabelle. Most
of the actors, by the way, come from
Pembroke and Denbigh.

Huldah Cheek, ’88, is directing the
play. The scenery is being rented
from Philadelphia. As the play is
modern, it has not been necessary
either to rent or to make the costumes.



KIPLING MANUSCRIPTS
WILL ILLUSTRATE TALK
—r

Mr. Ellis Ames Ballard, owner of
a world-famous -collection of Kipling
manuscripts and editions, will give the
college an unusual opportunity to see
these valuahle documents and hear
them discussed when he comes to speak
in the Deanery on Sunday, May 9, at
5 -p.-m.

A lawyer in Philadelphia since 18838,
Mr. Ballard has long been interested
in the work of Kipling. Elisabeth S.
Ballard, 37, is Mr. Ballard’s grand-
daughter.

was a consistent and understandable
personality. ;

Perhaps not quite urban~-enough,
Anthony Poole was nevertheless a
likeable and arresting Alan, and his
development from an attitude of
courteous, but impersonal, curiosity,
to a desperate desire to live up to his
principles was smooth and logical.

T. K. Saylor’s Duke Mantee, who
sat ominously in one corner of the
room throughout the greater part. of
the play, sustained the tension which
all. the other: characters felt, reliey-
ing the lack of action’from any sense
of stagnation.

The tempo of the play improved
noticeably with the progress of .the ~
first act, and had become really ex-
citing at curtain time. The second
act held the attention of the audi-
ence, reaching a climax in the final
shooting scene, where the main char-
acters were prostrate on thé floor.

Stage crews, we understand, co-
operated well in making the produc-
tion one’of the best in Haverford’s
cone career. Special mention
should be given to that unknown per-
son who performed such makeup mir-
acles on the colored characters of Jos-
eph and Pyles, especially the latter,
whose natural-seeming complexion
(and accent) completely deceived a
part of the audience.

‘A large part of this success prob-
ably reflects the careful direction of
Mr. L. Willard, Mr. R. Swire and Mr.
Barent Landstreet, who may pride .
themselves on this performance.

FOLK-DANCE DEVOTEES
: ATTEND N. Y. FESTIVAL

(Especially contributed by M. Ty-
rell Ritchie.)
The past weekend a group of folk-



‘dance enthusiasts, under Miss Grant’s ;

guidance, went up to New York to
take part in the eleventh Annual
Folk Dance Festival. This is a cele-
bration held on a Saturday afternoon
each. spring by the English Folk
Dance Society of America “to give
all who dance throughout the year
an opportunity to meet and dante to-
gether.” Nearly 600 dancers gath-
ered in the Seventh Regiment Armory,
representing various schools and danc-
ing clubs from all over New England.
Many of the- groups wore the uni-
forms of the societies which they rep-
resented, making the whole effect very
colorful.

In the first and last dances of the
program a Garland Dance and Selling-
ers Round, respectively, every one
took part, the time between being
devoted to a great variety of other
Morris and country dances in which
all who were able participated. Sev-
eral-of these were ‘ones which have
been done in connection’ with Big May
Day:or the Square Dances, such as
Gathering Peascods, Pop Goes the
Weasel and If Alb the World Were
Paper.

All who went enjoyed themselves so
thoroughly that they are eager'to go
again next year. It is hoped that
by then the numerous enthusiasts
throughout the college will have be-
come organized into a regular Folk
Dance Club and with Miss Grant’s
help will be able to take part in the
fun more extensively.

to mind the baby. If this’ is the ideal,
the battle for freedom has not yet
been won.

Nearly all English political parties
offer substantially the same program.
In all there is a promise of peace, of
better wages, of reduction of unem-
ployment, and of. improvement of
housing and health services. All in
all it is a fairly good view of the real
needs of ordinary people. The work-
ing class movement is particularly
representative. It is the child of the
general movement, and of strong. in-
tellectual progressivism. As an or-
ganization it gives a meeting ground
for groups united by opinions, differ-
ing in this from American. groups
which cooperate imperfectly. Most
important is the constituency Labor
party in practically every parlia-
mentary division in the country. The
intellectual progressivists can eat
buns and coffee together, lick stamps,

ment can thrash problems out as
members of a giant enterprise.

Voting figures do not reflect political
convictions; ‘but they are the best
guide we have. The 1935 election
showed considerable strength in the
Labor and left-wing parties, and Eng-
land found herself with a Conservative
government in Whitehall and a So-
cialist administration in the London
County Council Hall across the river.

and forth, but in 19385 it swung
further to the left and the Electorate
prepared to try a second Socialist ad-
ministration. All the political groups
now are voting for Socialism and
more. (The American labor move-
ment is far from ocialistic; audiences
cannot yet bé atgressed | as “com-
rades.”’) ahs

Socialism does not mean Marxism;
the English are not linguists and

they find the Marxist phlosophy diffi-

cult to assimilate. In any case their
class structure does not fit the pic-
ture portrayed by Marx. There are
two extremes, but those who look
straight ahead can see a solid English
middle class, which. blurs Marx’s two-
class soclety The intelligensia, on
the other-and, assimilate Marxism
with gusto since they have liberated
themselves from dogmatic religion.
Marxian doctrines are also widely read
in the mining districts, where society
consists of the proletariat on the one
hand and a bourgeoisie on the other.

For ordinary people socialism means
trying to introduce into economic and
social spheres the kind of equality
that exists in the political sphere.
Once every five years at election time,
the worker tastes the position which
is always his by rights. In general

he believes that the humiliations of
the present social structure must be

modified, and that he must not be sub-

self-respect.
demands, he thinks, is not compatible
with a system based on the profit mo-
tive. The conduct of industry should
be a public function; the present sys-
tem is economically wasteful, and its
social merit is dubious.

As reform measures, workers_ be-
lieve in parliamentary democracy; hot
many expect to die as agressors in a
socialist revolution. Unfortunately
an emotional tone- of pessimism has
grown.in the last five years as a re-
sult of the economic situation and of
international events. This mood is
widely. felt among working class peo-
ple, who have observed the drift of
events on the European continent, The
left-wing intellectuals can be blamed
for the morbid satisfaction they take
in what they foresee as the decline of
civiliZation. The result has been a
paralysis of activity and a failure to
believe in ourselves. Although move-
ments in favor of unionization of the

War is seen as a result of profit-seek-
ing and as the child of capitalism, the
phenomenam of Fascism is conceived
in economic terms, and minor and
major tyrannies are interpreted in
terms of a profit-making economic
system.. Even in the twentieth cen-
tury, even in twentieth-century Amer-
ica, power rather than wealth is de-
sired: by the ambitious. Sincere
idealism gone wrong is. responsible
for the tragedies of existence.
