-DRAMATIC FUTURE
SHOWN IN MOVIES

j Goodhart, Novbeiber 16.—"No one
‘has yet spoken what our country is,”
-said Paul Green, author of the Pul-
itzer ‘prize-winning play, In Abra-
ham’s Bosom. No national art, with
the exception of literature, has really
expressed the American spirit. The

yo new theatre, the theatre of the future,

will ‘be the home of the imaginative

i world.

In amplifying this statement, Mr.
_ Green said that the theatre of the
future must be"a “manifestation of
nature, mind and music founded in
the heart of the people.” It should
be representative of the country as a
“whole, not confined to any one region,
as, for example, New York City.

Ym.



( It. is unlikely that radio and mo-
tion pictures will ever take the place
{ of the-legitimate stage in shouldering

this responsibility. Radio is limited
because it lacks the power of visual
effect necessary to all drama.
eventual use of television will not, Mr.
i Green believes, supply this ingredient.

He has complete faith in the people

hd of this country, not those who have
_ taken up the arts professionally and
y are dependent upon financial success,

‘but those who create because they are

prompted by strong and innate emo-

tions. ,It is this incentive which Mr.

Green believes will finally give birth
* to our national theatre.

As evidence he described the little
theatre at Chapel Hill, North Caro-
lina, which he and others similarly
interested built with their own hands
to house amateur dramatic produc-
tions. Country people living’ in the
vicinity soon developed an interest in
the theatre. Their co-operation helped
to give it a natural, almost naive
quality, similar to that found in folk-
lore. Here, Mr. Green explained, the
legends of the nation are combined
with other native products such as
music and dancing... The plays. are
almost certain to be interesting be-
cause they must be sincere and “what
you make for yourself means more
than anything else.”

Now that our country is “grown
up,” its frontiers pushed back as far
as they can go, and the people set-
tled, the time has. come to “consider
the spirit that has built all of this,”
declared Mr. Green. “America can
boast no great, musicians except.the
negro and no really brilliant painters
and sculptors. Poetry and the thea-

tre must be the home of American

All-Color Movie to be
~ Filmed of Bryn Mawr





Color) Technique Has Improved,
Since. 1936 Big May Day



Music Room, November 28.—Sam-
ple movies, both in color and black
and white, were shown . to illustrate
possibilities for a movie of Bryn
Mawr. It has been decided to have
an all-color film about 700 feet long,
taking 80 to 40 minutes.

The sample movies were of a girls:
boarding school and for the most part
alternated between black and white
for interiors and+color for exteriors.
A few colored interiors proved that
color as a whole is important and
that color and black and white cannot
be used together without detracting
from the interest of the uncolored
films.

Colored,.film has been greatly im-
proved since 1936, when movies were
taken of Big May Day. At that time
it was still impossible to reproduce
the color green correctly and as a re-
sult, the grass in the May Day movie
appears to be a brownish yellow. The
green in the sample movies was not
quite natural, but it has been perfect-
ed in the two years since they: were
taken.

‘Captions were of two kinds: either
they were in white block letters
against a—plain dark background, or
in dark letters against a colored land-
scape. It has not yet been decided
which method is to be used for the
| Brvn Mawr movie.

Judge Allen Speaks

On Division of Power



onstitution Embodies Double
Separation, Insures Free
Democracy

STRONG GOVERNMENT
HAS HELPED INDUSTRY

Goodhart, November | 21,—Judge
Florence E. Allen, in the second of
her six lectures‘on “The Historical
Development of the Constitutional
Powers,” spoke on The Separation of
the Powers. She discussed the two
divisions of power established by the
Constitution, namely, the division of
power between the states and the
federal government, and the division
of power in the federal governmerit
between the executive, the legislative,
and the judicial bodies. The freedom
established by this division of powers,
Judge Allen pointed out, isa great
and lasting monument to the framers
of the Constitution. °

The division of powers between the
states and the national government
arose from the determination of the
framers to create a strong national
government without sacrificing the
identity and independence of the
states.
Constitution gave us the power to
speak ‘to Europe as one ration in-
stead of as thirteen divided states; it
gave us the benefits of free trade
within our own borders, which has
been the“*cause of the tremendous de-
velopment of our. industrial initiative,

The theory of. the separation: of the
powers within the federal government,
one of the distinctive features. of the
American system; was derived froin
Montesquieu, who maintained that lib-
erty cannot exist where the legisla-
tive'and executive powers are united
in the same person.

The agreement on the part of the
states to a division of their powers
came after a long and bitter strug-
gle, The equal power originally held
by each of the thirteen states had
proved so unworkable that such men
as Madison and Hamilton strongly ad-
vocated that the new government act

Lectures‘ On Women’s
Vocations Planned



The Vocational Committee of thet

Undergraduate Association plans ,to
bring to the college this year four
speakers on jobs for women.. Starting
after Christmas, the series will in-
clude talks on the opportunities in
government service, , radio, teaching,
and newspaper work.

The committee hopes to find a
speaker who. can talk particularly
about the teaching in public schools,
since private school teaching receives
attention annually. International af-
fairs, laboratory work and the thea-
tre, which were also subjects Checked
by many on the vocational cards’ dis-
tributed last month, have been’ sub-
jects for talks in the last’ few years.
During the year speakers at. college
other than the four sponsored by the
Vocational Committee, will discuss op-
portunities for women in their par-
ticular fields.

The meetings this year will be at
tea on Monday afternoons in the Com-
mon Room. - All those who checked
the-subject to -be discussed -will-.be
formally invited, but. any others: in-

térested are urged to come.

Refugee Scholarship

Fund Raised Swiftly

Gene¥ous Response to Appeal
Will Bring Two Students
To Bryn Mawr





Goodhart, Novembér 17.—At a
mass-meeting of students and faculty,
an appeal was made to raise scholar-
ships for two or three German refu-
gee students to enter college immedi-
ately. This course’ should-ednstitut’
an active move toward the allevia-
tion of the refugee situation. Mis:
Park, Eleanor Taft and Martha Van
Hoesen were the speakers.

Miss Park stressed the significance
of an expression of opinion by th«
students of the United States. A:
such, even the slight good that would
result from the admission of two stu
dents into Bryn Mawr would be im-
portant. For her own part, Miss Park
announced that she would pay the ex-
penses of one student. The director:
of the college will donate the tuition
of the students, but the scholarships
are necessary to cover their board and
living expenses.

Martha Van Hoesen followed wit!

dents considered for admission into
Bryn Mawr. She pointed out that

been put in the way of non-Aryan

Law Cited as Growing

Profession for Women
| anne

Judge Allen Discusses Freedom of
American Women





In a recent interview, Judge Allen
gave, briefly, her opinion of women’:
future in the law profession and of
the challenge that faces the Ameri-
can college girl of today. She be-
lieves that women’s ability in the wid
field of law is becoming much~ more
widely recognized: all over the coun:
try women now hold important - posi:
tions as lawyers and judges, and fil!
such jobs as county.auditor where le:
gal training is required.

In Ohio, the most liberal of the
states in this respect, women have

been “elected and reelected as judges |’

for municipal, state and probate
courts. Judge Allen pointed out that
these reelections attest women’s capa-
bility for~handling such positions.

The law.is, probably, the most ex-
acting ofall professions and, as .it
usually deals with situations of vital
importance to others, demands the
utmost integrity. Judge Allen be-
lieves that there is a definite future
for women. inthis field but pointed
out. that. headway “can only. be made
by hard and honest work and by re-
membering that women must meet the
same standards as men.

First Program
Of Series Sung
By Trapp Choir



Folk Songs, Mountain Calls,
Classical Airs Included
In Concert

BLOCK - FLUTES FORM
AN UNUSUAL FEATURE

Goodhart, November 28.—The Salz-
burg Trapp.Choir presented the first
program in the series sponsored by
the Entertainment Committee and set
a high standard for the other artists
who will perform here this winter.
The choir, composed of eight members
of one family, sang a variety of songs
including classical and folk music,
and, as a special attraction, several
numbers played on “block-flutes” or
recorders. The choir was directed by
Dr. Franz Wasner, who also ar-
ranged the folk songs.

The first part of the program was
devoted to a group of songs by early
masters including Bach, Purcell and
di Lasso. The quality of the singing
was uniformly good, and notés and
words alike were clear and distinct.
Di Lasso’s Landsknechtstaendchen was
a charming finale to this group.

The Austrian masters were repre-_
sented by Eberlin, Mozart, Schubert,
and Brahms. Mozart’s Bruder reicht
die Hand zum Bunde and Schubert’s
The Linden Tree were particularly
well received by the audience.

Without doubt the most unusual
feature of the program was the in-
terlude of music played on old in-
struments, block-flutes or recorders,
the gamba da viol, which is the fore-
runner of the modern cello, and a
spinet, the old form of our present-
day piano. The block-flute is a rare
instrument which was popular from
the beginning of the fifteenth to the:
middle of* eighteenth century. .. This
flute, as was. explained. in the pro-
gram notes, differs from the modern
flute in that “the wind is applied at
an opening at one end,. so that the
action and sound is much like an or-
gan —pipe’*-These instruments to-
gether with the spinet and cello pro-
duce a light tinkly effect on a foun-
dation of soft. tones.

Dressed in bright peasant costumes
the choir sang folk songs and Austrian
mountain calls for the second half of
the program. Muss i denn zum Stitle
hinaus was one of the most delightful
numbers sung'all evening. The moun-
tain calls were fresh and. gay and_
sung with extraordinary rhythm. In
answer to the loud applause of the
audience .the choir sang Brahms’
Lullaby as- their final number.

Allen believes that life has never be-

tenance of our democratic system, ani!
if the latter falls so will women’s lib-

Parallel to the raising of this money, certain resolutions ondticned
by the Peace Committee of the A: S. U. were accepted by the majority
of the undergraduate body who voted, namely that we should urge
our government to declare an embargo on war materials to Japan, to
repeal the Neutrality Act and thus allow the Spanish government to
purchase freely what supplies it may need, to extend our credit to the
Spanish government and thus enable it to purchase as many supplies
as necessary. These proposals were also supported by the Young
Communist League of Bryn Mawr College in a letter to the News.

While not wishing to discuss the probable effectiveness or possible

‘PUBLIC OPINION







Dear Studen

As a Bryn ‘inesher of the sina
of 1903 may I say, that May Day was
first given in May, 1900—not 1912 as
the current News states. The Stu-
dents’ Building: Fund had already
been started in a small way, before
that time.

I should like to ‘Suge’ t also, just
as a matter of personal erence,
the term “residence hall” instead of
the somnolent “dormitory” which has
crept into Bryn Mawr vocabulary in
recent years.

Sincerely yours,
LINDA B. LANGE.

P. S. I think you may already know

-jthat Sophie “Boucher whose bequest

went into the glorification of Dalton
is of 1903—-not 1905.

Why must the News become free

labelled “advertisement,” since it was
contributed by the Saks campus

The same thing applies to the arti-

only fair to have some clue to it. It
is more stimulating, for example, to
know that an abstract painting. is
called Nude Descending the Staircase
and to try to decide why, than to be
confronted with a nameless abstrac-

I wish Miss Dimock would put an
explanatory footnote to these two
ines,
“Teave dead what music’s self-pos-

ask such a question as,

probable?”, and we wonder whichis:
most improbable, “half remote soft-

tangibility of the indifferent.” Words
used like these have no positive mean-
ing; Stuart Chase would fill Miss
Renninger’s poem with “blabs.”
Hester Corner, who has written real
poetry, runs into a cul-de-sac in Ab-
sence of Image. Perhaps because I
cannot. sympathize with such an
esoteric . agony, the subject itself
seems inadequate. Miss Corner uses
familiar words and objects to suggest
abstraction and this gives her poetry
its power; here there is beauty of
word selection without a transcending
idea. Span by Joan Gross is real and
suggestive; its jingling satire is very
effective, especially the last four lines,
which have a visual quality that is

My Sister Eileen, by Ruth MacKenny,
$2.00.
Almost anybody can recall attian.
tions and experiences somewhat simi-
lar to those recounted by Ruth Mac-

Kennies, however, seem to have been
particularly marked out for misfor-
tune. They not ‘only had as much

it harder than anybody else.

All of us, for instance, can remem-
ber a period when we took the Scrip-
tures literally, but only. Ruth and
Eileen MacKenny would have thought
of burying a doll on Good Friday, ex-
pecting it to rise again on, Easter.
All.of us have had occasional diffi-
culties with foreigners who do not un-
derstand the English language, but

tue by the entire Brazilian cadet-
corps. All of ts have encountered
Europeans of title, but never a prince

are things which must be read to be

TogMany Cooks, by Rex Stout, $2.00.
Any murder that takes place at a
convention of chefs ought by rights to
be ‘a poisoning mystery. However,
when Philip Lazio, most unpopular
master-cook itr-America, insists on at-
tending the annuakconference of Les
Quinze Maitres, he is merely stabbed
with a carving knife and hidden be-
hind the dining-room screen.
Suspicion immediately falls on his
surviving colleagues, most of whom
had particular reason to detest him.
Fortunately, Nero Wolfe, temporarily
separated from his bottle-caps and
orchids, is present at the convention
as the guest of honor and undertakes
to discover’ the real murderer. As
things turn out, however, he might
just as well have spared himself, for
the real murderer is so inexcusably
simple and careless that it really
seems almost as if even the bonehead-
ed county officials could have~easily
diseovered him without. troubling the

master-mind.
The chief attraction of Too Mahy

recipes of all the dishes served at the
convention, including the famous Sau-
cisse Minuit which was the price of
Wolfe’s services. Like all famous de-

be interesting to eat a dinner for

(Gleaned from Miss Northrup)
On Thursday, the hearings of the

These are an attempt to reason out
the causes of the 1929 depression and

the recession of August, 1937.° In
June, 1938, a bill created the Presi-
dential National Economic Committee
to carry on the investigation until
1941, making a full study of monopoly

power.
To combat the large corporations
which grew up in the Jatter ‘nine-
teenth century, anti-trust laws such as
the Sherman and Clayton acts were
passed. In 1914 the Federal Trade
Commission was created. These are
the backbone of the anti-trust legal
set-up. Since there was neither com-
plete monopoly nor complete competi-
tion in any industry, there is a ques-
tion of what type of control it is pos-
sible and desirable to set up. & :
The investigation is an attempt to
determine the regulation ~business
ought to have. Miss Northrup stated
that “the power to fix prices by any
industrial group, a power not related
in any, way to public responsibility,

some regulation or control.”

The committee is composed of three
senators, three congressmen and one
representative from each of six gov-
ernmental departments and agencies.
The Treasury is studying the tax}
structure and collusive bidding. .The
Department of Justice and the, Fed-
eral Trade Commission are working
together on. patent. laws, structural

and not circuitously through the
states. The matter was finally set-
tled by the plan of Roger Sherman
that representation in the House of
Representatives be made on the basis
of population, but that: in the Senate
each state, large and ,small alike;
should have two senators. “When this
motion was carried,” Judge Allen as-
serted, “the establishment of the con-
stitution was assured.”

The next problem to be solved was
that of the relations between the. thir-
teen states, ,hitherto a “no-man’s
land” in which power of any kind
was completely. lacking. In-this area
each state was free to impose duties
upon the trade of. other states, with
disastrous results. The Southern
states were opposed to federal con-
trol because they had no ships and
they; féared a Northern monopoly of
interstate commerce. A compromise
was finally reached whereby the
South gave up its opposition in re-

turn for a constitutional declaration |

that. “slavery should not be interfered
with for twenty years.” This com-
promise, “which carried with it the
seeds of civil war,” was accomplished,
and the measure was. passed which
enabled Congress “to regulate com-
merce with foreign nations and

among the several states.”

of industry and. production.

The committee hopes to achieve
three things: to present the broadest
factual picture of industry we’ve ever
had, to give a clear idea of the price
and output policies of industry, to
form a basis for a decision as to the
desirable form of control for business.

I joined. the Delegation in_ Philadel-

met in New. York by a line. of. official
motor cars and escorted across the
city to the-blowing of sirens and the
peremptory stopping of traffic. How
we like to feel that we are important!

On the boat there was a broadcast
but the two rival companies chose the
same hour, so there was a competi-
tion for speakers. I am glad what
I said was not recorded, for the noise
and confusion was such that I could
hardly keep my thoughts straight.

art. Eugene O’Neill has made a 1 seietel
beginning.”

Mr. Green feels that our two su-
preme dramatic geniuses are. Charles
Chaplin and Walt Disney. Both
have created art forms understood and
loved by every one. The future of
motion pictures is, in Mr. Green’s
opinion, along the path of the Silly
Symphony where complete freedom
and play of imagination are allowed.

Because of his belief in the. flexi-
bility and pure artistry possible in
the ‘field of motion pictures, Mr.
Green went out to Hollywood to “ex-
plore the world of make-believe.”
There he found that drama had be-
come nothing but a tremendous indus-
try in which everything is done only
for the sake of profit. Practically
no experimentation is possible, and
the directors with whom Mr. Green
discusséd the problem, the Warner
brothers and Samuel Goldwyn, agreed
that they cannot afford to do “good
things.” During his stay in Holly-
wood Mr. Green frequently found cen-
sorship interfering with the pictures
he himself was working on. No movie
is permitted to mention anything
which might offend any part of its
vast public.

In conclusion Mr..Green stated that
the techniques of the camera and the
theatre will never. be exactly the

and more on the poet.

PUBLIC OPINION





ted

To the eee of the Peace Coun-
cil:

The A. S. U., in drawing up. its
last resolutions, has dropped the clause
according aid to China on, the ground
that it was made impractical by the
Japanese blockade of the _ Chinese
coast. I beg to draw your attention to
the fact that the blockade does not
and cannot impede outside help to the
Chinese civilian population. In the
first place, it is a “pacific” blockade,
which cannot interfere with the de-
livery of non-military goods. Sec-
ondly, although the Japanese have
declared a paper blockade for. the en-
tire coast, they have occupied only’
the large ports. Ningpo, Wenchow,
Foochow,, Swatow,. and . numerous
smaller ports are firmly in Chinese
hands. Thirdly, thanks to the effi-
cient and extensive ‘organization of

It consists the International Red Cross and the

humanitarian sympathy of the out-
side world, relief has reached the
Chinese refugees even in the occupied
areas. Lastly, and -the most im-
portant, even if Japan‘should declare
war and should close the entire Chin-
ese coast, China still has good access
to the Pacific via the railroads con-
necting her interior with Indo-china
and Burma, the latter having been
newly completed. These railroads are
open tothe ise of the Chinese gov-
ernment by special treaty agree-
ments and cannot be closed to China
as long as she is not at war with
Britain or France, as the case may
be.

The response to the Bryn Mawr ap-
peal was enthusiastic. Within twenty-
four hours the 1100 dollars was col-
lected, and more besidés which will be

Two students, a graduate and an un-
dergraduate, have, been definitely se-

After the meeting mimeographed

Continued from Page Three

Under, this _proviston, | the scope of
which haa been defined and’ broadened
as the years have passed, Congres
has plenary jurisdiction over both for-
eign and interstate commerce, trans-
portation and navigation. Also under
this provision have been established
the great federal bureaus regulating
interstate. commerce relations, labor-
relations, and federal trade.

Judge Allen then cited several cases
in which the courts have: restrained
the attempts of the states to hamper,
either by ‘taxation or unreasonable
regulation, the carrying on of inter-
| state,commerce.,

Judge MIME next discussed’ the di-
vision of powers within the federal
government, a doctrine which was
widely supported as early as_ seven
years before’ the. Constitution was
drafted. Washington pointed eut that
“the separation of the powers is
condition of natjonal freedom,” ant
that “liberty will be undermined if we
permit the encroachment of one de-



I therefore suggest that the Peace
Council reincorporate the clause into
the resolutions and correct Miss Ter-
lin’s statement about China which is
not only misleading, but is jeopardiz-
ing the relief drive to help the Chin-
ese refygees.
Yours sincerely, ‘
