Play Vivifies Death in Black Strapless
With Comic Angels, Cocteau’s French

By Mary Lou Bianchi, °52
and interpreter —

“Mais le cheval, c’est formid-
able ... Madam reviendra .. . vous
etes mon ange; cous m’avez
sauvez.” French 302? On the
contrary, the first run-through of
Jean Cocteau’s Orphee at Skinner,
Wednesday evening under the
more-than-capable direction of
Mr. Morris. Flats, mastered en-
tirely by the cast, with indispensi-
ole volunteers, went up Sunday,
and a beautiful setting, with
stylized costumes, is next in oz-
der.

A word of warning about the
play itself. Don’t expect a classi-
cal Orpheus, because Jean Coc-
teau’s version is delightfully “per-
verted.” A talking horse, Death
in a black strapless evening gown,

a flying angel, an audience par-
ticipation are only a few samples
of the modern adaptation. Eury-
dice, following the classical myth,
is fatally punished by the Bacchic
Women for her refusal to join in
their ritual, and Onphee leads her
back from L’enfer, but the re-

Highest Average .
In Class Reached

By Joanna Semel

Joanna Semel has been awarded
the Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall
Memorial Scholarship which goes
to the member of the junior class
with the highest average. It is
quite unusual for an English ma-
jor to stand at the top of her class,
because of the tremendous variety
of requirements presented by
members of the English depart-
ment. It is especially to Jo’s
credit therefore, that she should
have earned this honor.

She has won a scholarship for
this coming summer to the Uni-
versity of Birmingham in Eng-
land. The grant takes the form of
free trans-Atlantic passages. Mr.
Sprague of the English depart-
ment plans to teach in the Birm-
ingham summer. school at Strat-

ford also. There were many
graduate students and_ seniors
competing for the _ scholarship

which Joanna won, and again it
is especially to her credit.

She was’ Editor-in-Chief of
Counterpoint for 1950-1951 and
last summer was a Guest Editor
on Mademoiselle magazine for the
month of June. She is a member
of the Bryn Mawr College Theatre.

She is also the winner of the
'Sheelah Kilroy Memorial Scholar-
ship for -excellence in advanced
courses in English.





The Katherine Fullerton Ger-
ould Prize for creative writing
of particular merit has been
awarded to Joanna Semel for
her verse play “Ad Astra Per
Aspera”, produced last week-
end at Arts Night.

At the assembly held this morn-
ing in connection with Mayday,
Miss McBride, president of the
college, read the names of the
scholarship winners for the year
1951-52.

The Maria L. Eastman Brooke
Hall Memorial Scholarship was
won by Joanna Semel, ’52, for hav-
ing the highest average in her
class. The Sheelah Kilroy Schol--
arship and the Gerould. writing
prize also went to Joanna.

The Shippen Scholarship, award-
ed for distinction in science was
given to Marianne Schwob, a biol-
ogy major, and Ching Yuan, who
is majoring in chemistry.

The Shippen Scholarship which
is presented to the student who
has made the most progress in the
study of a foreign language went
to Ruth McVey, ’52, a member of
the German department.

The Charles 'S. Hinchman Schol-
arship was won by Reba Benedict,
‘52, for outstanding work in geol-
ogy. It is given annually to the
undergraduate whose work in her
major field is especially meritori-
ous.

Bobby Ann Roesen of the class
of 1954 is the winner of the Shee-
lah Kilroy Prize awarded for the
best essay written in the freshman
composition classes . Honorable
mentions go to Mary Margaret



Conkling and Emily Taylor.



| Skinner Displays Modest Arts Night:

Davis & Davison Stage
Opera In Lofty

Manner
by Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, ’52

A revival of one of Guiseppe
(John) Davison’s early works, Il
Janitoro, was presented to the
public Saturday night by the
BrynMawrpolitan Opera Company
with great success. Directed by
the composer’s great grandson,
Antoinelli (J.) Davison, with new
English lyrics by George Ade, the
opera retained much of its original
freshness in the rejuvenated ver-
sion. The overture, a prediction
of Davison’s later richness, form-
ed a fitting prelude for the open-
ing duet sung by Kirsten (Gwen)
Davis, and Ferruccio (George)
Lamphere. Miss Davis was feel-
ing no sorrow at leaving her
heavier Wagnerian roles, but

Grand Opera, Verse-drama and Dance

Pearre & Haring Soar
Skyhigh in Play
By Semel
by Jane Augustine, ’52

Arts Night, despite its flagging
start, came through full steam
ahead with a whistle on the red
caboose to boot. It was a more
modest attempt, staged in Skinner,
than last year’s Art Night, with
its Princeton piece, well done but
out of place in the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford circuit. Because the
artistic endeavor was unassuming,
this year’s Arts Night was suc-
cessful; loftier drama could have
been scribed, weightier operatics
intonated—but they would not
have come off so well. It is inter-
esting to note that the operetta
by John Davison and Joanna Se-
mel’s Victorian verse-comedy were

Legislature Changes

Two week ago the College Legislature voted to increase
its own representation from sixty to ninety-seven members
and at the same time to decrease the quorum required for a
vote from four-fifths to two-thirds. The students will have
the ballots concerning these issues in their hands this week,
for the changes must be passed by the college as a whole.

The proposed new legislature would include all college
elected offices, that is, the Alliance and League officers, the
Executive Board of AA, the Chapel Head, plus the Editorial
Board of the NEWS. It is a set rule of the NEWS that this
board shall not exceed eight; it is composed of seven mem-
bers and the Editor-in-Chief. The new quorum of two-thirds
representation would give greater lee-way for absenteeism.
While the present fourfifths quorum requires the presence of
forty-eight from a sixty member legislature and seventy-six
from a ninety-seven member legislature, a two-thirds quor-
um would only necessitate sixty-four members appearing.
These figures will vary as two different offices are often fill-

_ ed by the same person.

Although a ninety-seven member legislature may be un-
wieldy it is felt to be more representative of the college,
mainly through the organizations. Most students work for
one of the big organizations and the minority that does not
are adequately represented by class elected positions. The
proposed quorum decrease presents larger problems. It was
felt that the large number of people who would not have to
attend — about thirty — would allow for perhaps a com-
plete turn-over of a certain number of members at two dif-

ferent meetings and thus would vary the representation. It
is also very difficult to get as high a quornm as four-fifths
present, especially when it would entail seventy-eight mem-
bers. However, many feel that the meetings of the Legisla-
ture, because they are called so seldom and are so important,
warrant a four-fifths quorum. The four-fifths quorum would
increase the feeling of responsibility of every Legislature

member to attend these meetings. It would be too easy un-

der the two-thirds quorum rule to count yourself automati-
cally among the thirty allowed absent and so skip the meet-

ing. However, it should be remembered that it is the respon-

sibility of every member of the Legislature to attend, regard-







ICG Shows Way
To Politic Action |

Specially contributed by
Phyllida Stephen, °53

On the evening of April twelfth
the Bryn Mawr station wagon
drew up before the Penn-Harris
Hotel in Harrisburg, Penn., and
disgorged six Bryn Mawrtyrs.
Some of us were a bit foggy about
what we were getting into, but
it soon developed that ICG stood
for Intercollegiate Conference on
Government, and the project chos-
en for the year was a Model Na-
tional Congress. The Penn-Harris
was not only our abode, but also
the center of most of the activity.
That night some of us sat in on
the Rules Committee, which deter-
mined which committee got what
bill, and then, at approximately
midnight when we were supposed-
ly exhausted, a caucus of the
Southeast Region (Penn, Temple,
Swarthmore, Haverford, etc.) be-
gan in a room about twelve by
twenty feet. There were over
fifty people, and the air was at
least fifty per cent nicotine, and
we at last had the feeling that
we were becoming a true part of
the political merry-go-round. The
caucus was to determine who
should be our candidate for Speak-
er of the House. After much
wrangling, we finally chose a’
candidate agreeable to everyone,
Phil Gray of Temple, and the
question became how to get him
elected. This electioneering was
truly fascinating, involving
“deals,” “talking turkey,” and a
goodly bit of spying. After man-
aging to “swing” some delegations,
we went to bed—4:30 A. M.

Up: again bright and early at
8:00 to get something to eat and
to go to the opening Session, at
which last year’s speaker, Gerry
Freund of Haverford, presided.
The Republican and Democratic
parties both sent representatives
to our enterprise, and lent some
national weight to the whole af-
fair. Then at ten o’clock, we ad-
journed to our committee. Mine
was the committee on education.
There were fourteen bills, pre-
sented to the committee by the
members of the various colleges,
out of which were to come by 8:15
that evening, three bills to go be-
fore the Plenary Session. As
twelve bills were concerned with
federal aid, four hours work made
a composite bill giving aid to the
states in order to raise the amount
spent per pupil to the average of
that spent in the ten highest
states. We conservatives made
certain that this aid would go to
the states with no strings attach-
ed, except that the state receiving
the money spent it on education!
Then four more bills were propos-
ed to give aid to college students,
a subject dear to all- our hearts,
and finally a bill to make the Com-
mission on Education an “inde-
pendent regulatory agency,” for

Biddle Will Speak
On Nat. Security

The speaker for the Fifth Alli-
ance Assembly will be the Hon-
orable Francis Biddle, former At-
torney General of the United
States and a former member of
the International Military Tribun-
al. The subject of his address in
Goodhart Hall will be “Loyalty,
Security and Freedom.” He is
now national chairman of Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action and is
the author of Mr. Justice Holmes
and of Democratic Thinking and
the War. ;

The fifth Alliance Assembly will

Morris Jig, Hambo
Enlighten Festival |

: |
An evening of fun, music, danc-

ing, and above all diversity.. This
is a description of the colorful
IRC-NSA Folk Festival given
Friday night in the gym. The
entertainment was started by a
group of German students from
the International House in Phifla-
delphia performing some of their
traditional dances and ended with
a rapid waltz by everyone, audi-
ence included. Between these
two were a. fascinating variety of
songs and dances of all countries,
including: a Spahish club dance, a
Scottish sword. dance to bagpipes
given by Ginny Connor, songs by
the Chinese students, a square
dance, and a great deal of singing
by all. Rick Conant from Haver-
ford, well-known to everyone from
his square-dance calling, gave two
spirited Morris jigs. The liveliest
group was undoubtedly the
Swedish students from Philadel-
phia. About seven of their boys
and three of their girls danced the
Hambo, a country couple dance,
and sang rollicking gay songs in-
cluding drinking songs across a
tavern table which ended up in a

Observer

Cleopatra probably stretched
out on a leopard skin to read the
latest from Julius, and Shake-
speare perused his newly finished
masterpieces by the glow of a fire,
with ale mug hearby, and even
Georgie Washington had slates to
read from, but the Bryn Mawr
damsel is able to daringly delve
into words of wisdom in that
(gulp) impressive building the
sub-freshmen sometimes mistake
for the Infirmary (“right across
from Taylor, where all the class-
rooms are’”’)—that monument to
gloppy struggles up into Verita-
tem—the Library. Do not take the



see-saw. effect of rising and sit-
ting down in your seat. Soon
everyone in the audience was
swaying up and down with them.
It was this type of fun and friend-
liness that ‘typified IRC-NSA’s
successful evening.

Award Night Held
At Common Room

‘“'Wheee! Our blazers!” shouted
six athletic young ladies Wednes-

They were awarded their athletic
blazers for having compiled a to-
tal of 4,000 points for their activi-
.ties in various sports. The four
seniors were Patsy Bennett, Nancy
Blackwood, Betsy Parker, and Ann

Lawrie Perkins and _ Barbara

By Dee Dee Gammie, °53
The

|
College Circle Theater is
excellent! Whether the introduc-
tion of Villanova into the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford team or the in-
troduction of a new dramatic
challenge is the cause, these pro-
ductions are the most fresh,
forceful, and satisfying that have
appeared on the campuses in a
tong while. The group is just
starting, so their facilities are
somewhat crude, but the effective-
ness of acting and staging remain-
ed unimpaired. The stage was
marked off very simply by a semi-
circle of chairs in the Haverford
Common Room. There was no
usual stage scenery, but props,
lighting, and sound effects set the
scene descriptively.

The first of the three one-act
plays presented was Richard Har-
ridy’s Hope Is The Thing With
Feathers. The scene opened on
a dimly-lit group’of prone and
languid bums. Slowly the distinct-
ve personality of each was reveal-
ed. Occasionally student actors are
apt to become unnatural when us-
img coarse language on the stage
—the bum might have come out a
“character” (not in the stage
sense of the word) instead of a
human being. The cast of this
play was much cleverer; not only
were the characters alive but so
also the hope, itself in duck form
—“the thing with feathers.”

For a really fine job four ‘ac-
tors must be mentioned in particu-
lar. Roger Euster buried his own
personality completely ,and really
was a punch-drunk fighter. One
felt at any minute that his taut
nerves were ready to snap — his
laugh was uncanny — and when
they did, Roger made a difficult



| beginning,

episode convincing.

Tom Goldsmith also did a sensi-
tive job of portraying a stock
comic character — a drunk — in a
rather serious mood. He seemed
dangerously close, at successive
times, to be actually and uncon-
trollably overcome by sobs, nausea,
and death. At a lower emotiona!
level Flip Howerth played Doe,
the tramp whose attempts to
catch a duck inspired.. them all
with false hope. Doc’s obsession
with catching animals interfered
with the character’s believability,
but nevertheless one did believe.
Sweeney, played by Hack Rowe, of
Villanova, was thoroughly delight-
ful — his bitterness expressing it-
self in a sarcasm which showed
him to be more sophisticated and
droll than his fellows.

The cast reached the peak of
individual and collective excellence
in the scene where Doc brought
them, instead of a duck to eat, a
monkey. Here the emotions of all,
whether cannibalistic or humane,
climaxed the action, and fell
rather quickly into a quiet
ending. Although the specific hope
was dead, the general hope still
lived, but elusively, a feathered
thing which had taken flight.

Fumed Oak, by Noel Coward,
was played just the way the au-
thor must have intended it. The
plot is extremely simple; a lower
middle class husband decides to
leave his lower middle class wife,
mother-in-law, and daughter and
he does. The first scene revealed
two superb characters and a won-
derfully spiced series of lines.
Mrs. Lester of the Haverford fac-
ulty as Dorrie and Marjorie Lowe
as her mother really seemed to
take greatest pleasure in irritating
and nagging. A rather subtle yet
quite. right cockney inflection and
vigorous acting contributed to the
was’ sustained, but
without strain on the audience.

New Theatre In The Round Offers
Three Plays In Fine Dramatic Style

by Mary Alice Drinkle, ’53

If Waiting for Lefty is an ex.
ample of the quality productions
that are to be produced by the
College Circle Theatre in the fu-
ture, a season ticket may be
recommended for any one inter-
ested in good drama. The open-
ing scene, in which Fatt (Bob
Glatzer, Haverford), the spokes-
man for averting a cabdrivers’
strike, shouted ;for support of the
company leaders, set the tough,
emotional pace of the play. He
bullied his noisy way through his
part with appropriate realism,

even down to the way he held his ,

cigar. The first flashback, re-
vealing a crisis in the lives of a
cab driver and his wife who were
being driven to bankruptcy, was
excellent. Labe Schuman played
his role admirably as the de-
spondent victim of circumstances
beyond his control. Marjorie Lowe,
as his wife, was also at her best.
Her sutble changes in mood were
the high points of her interpreta-
tion.

In the next scene, Tony Della-
Rocea, Villanova, was properly
cold and calculating as the un-
scurulous company president who
would do anything within or with-
out the law for the sake of big
business. Dick Lingeman, the
young chemist whom the employ-
er was trying! to bribe, gained
confidence in his part as the scene
progressed, and in the end carried
off dramatically his refusal to deal
with the wily employer.

In the third scene, Betty Ann
Schoen was good, though not quite
up to the near-professional stand-
ard of the rest of the actors. She
displayed well the inner conflict
of emotion and reality that Florrie
had to face. George Crist por-
trayed well her sympathetic, but
down-to-earth brother. Sid, the
boy to whom Florrie had been en-
gaged for three years, was depict-
ed superbly in all phases of his
character — tenderness, _ bitter-
ness, and hopelessness — by Steve
Keiss, of Villanova.

The final scene was overwhelm-
ing in its dramatic intensity. As
the union members, led by fiery

Keller (Mark Lissfelt, Haverford), °

rose against the unjust big «busi-
ness men in a demand for “Strike!
Strike!” everyone in the audience
wanted to stand up and join the
tumult.

_ All in all, Waiting for Lefty was
an excellent climax to an evening
well spent.

Berry Describes
Altitude Effects

At the morning assembly on
Wednesday, April 25, Dr. L. Joe
Berry of the Biology Department
discussed his current research
project for the U. S. Air Force.

He observed that _ scientists
often arrive at experimental
problems by making observations
and then designing experiments in
an attempt to explain what has
been seen.

Mr. Berry remarked that there
would be no research at Bryn
Mawr of the type now being done
in Dalton for the Air Force, if
scientists had not made a chance
observation seven years ago. He
outlined the research which is be-
ing done in comparing and con-
trasting the symptoms of rats and
mice suffering from anemia and
those subjected to atmospheric
conditions simulating high alti-
tude. There is a “gross corre-
spondence” between the two in
cellular reaction and resistance to
infection, but as in most biology
experiments, the results ask many



more questions than they answer.

moved with freedom about the
stage. Her acting, usually static
and controlled, . was graceful,
while her voice lent itself well to
the light tones of the opera. She
brought dignity to the much ne-
glected role of the Signora. Fer-
ruccio Lamphere as the Signor
blended well with Miss Davis. His
replies to her musical queries were
well sung, and the famous lines,
“We must hasten, we must hast-
en,” rang out with conviction.

The entrance of I] Janitore in
the second scene was one of the
most dzamatically executed in the
history of the performances of
this opera. Tenor Jusse Bjoeling
(Bob) Reynolds, held the long and
difficult opening note to its fullest,
and his singing during the rest of
the evening was most masterful.
To the powerful aria breaking the
news that their house is burning
to the fated couple, he gave all
the poignancy and excitement re-
quired of the part. In the famous
aria “You> House is Burning” his
voice broke with emotion in a
manner similar to the celebrated
Caruso’s.

The appearance of Mlle. Pavlova
(Whittaker) accompanying -the
Signora’s gay aria in the second
act, provided a welcome diversion.
Mile. Pavlova danced with the
grace and charm that is familiar
to all who have seen her with the
Brynmawrpolitan before. The trio
sung by II Janitore, and the Sig-
nor and the Signora was done with
an understanding of the inter-
weaving melodies that graced so
many of Davison’s later works,
while the final ensemble main-
tained the excellence of the whole
evening.

Credit should go to Miss Jill
McAnney for her modern. staging
of this opera, which itself was re-
sponsible for much of the énjoy-
ment of the evening.

The Bryn Mawr Octangle ap-
pearing in the second half of the
program, sang “selections both
old and new.” All of the numbers
were delivered spiritedly and with
charm, and. the group brought
freshness and delight to. the eve-
ning. «The balanced blending = of
the voices ,and the amusing light-
hearted- interpretation was very
pleasant, especially “The Lady Is
a Tramp,” with the second chorus
done in Brooklynese, “goils and
poils.” The second encore, the
Oral Song, was perhaps the fun-
niest, for every Bryn Mawron
enjoyed the intentioned off-key
singing of “Taylor Tower is
crumbling down.” The Octangle
aware of the enthusiastic recep-
tion given it by the audience,
showed its appreciation by tossing
their daffodils to the crowd. A
great round of applause followed,
which they more than deserved.

ed into an Oscar Wilde garden-
party setting parodied the histor-
ical period written about and the
writing itself of both authors, in
Ad Astra Per Aspera. Parody’s po-
sition is less precarious than that
of art endeavoring to be more in-
dependent of its guiding prede-
cessors. But it is a good sign when
an artist knows enough to impose
limitations upon himself; the
poet’s balloon needs many test
flights before it can soar very high.

The modern dance group also
‘was well-advised in choosing to do
short numbers well. “Siembamba”
was swift and delightful—intrig-
uing, semi-primitive melody and
rhythm appropriately choreo-
graphed by Ann Blaisdell, Denise
Dewan and Anna Natoli. “Dance
of the Winds” was less successful;
Eritha von der Glotz did not live
up to the graceful excellence of
her performance of last year. El-
len Landis, however, danced with
a liquid-smoothness which match-
ed her previous virtuosity. Sherry
Cowgill, Ruth. LaPlace and Lita
Picard formed essential and un-
obtrusive background.

The cast of Ad Astra Per Aspera
was largely made up of veteran
varsity theatre talent. Nancy
Pearre’s pale blondeness suited
the heroine. with the aromatic
name; her preformance was pol-
ished and executed with light hu-
mor. The impeccable Mr. Haring
‘combined a bit of Victorian stiff-
ness with the lingo-slinging abili-
ties of a Mendip, all served up
with infinite finesse and a touch of

|Gielgud. Elsie Kemp and Phoebe
Harvey did small parts well; El-
eth Winton’s high moment came
j with the vision of the phoenix,
John Kittredge’s pomposity and
impossibility were, properly, out-
standing qualities of Pappa. Ex-
cellent line: “A poet, Pappa, nam-
ed Peter.”
The arrangement of student art
at the back of the studio deserves
more than mention; unless one
‘were quite observant, the excellent
placing. and red-and-blue decor
might have .escaped one’s notice.
For this, Margie Partridge and
Fritz Janschka should be con-
gratulated. It is regrettable that
more artists did not choose to sign
their work, if for no other reason
than it is difficult to identify (for
critical purposes) a picture which
has neither title nor signature! Of

Mayday Rain Dionysiac,
Says Di’s Spring Speech

Zeus she asked him, what about
the size of Mayday? “Chipped
beef for breakfast on Big May
Day!” he exploded. Little Mayday
was the berries—nearest thing to
ambrosia. As for nectar, cases like
that will be severely dealt with.

Di suffered a setback when she
asked why it always rained on
Mayday. British explorers once ©
mistook a fertility rite for a way
to stop rain, now whenever he
sees one of these hoop-rolling epi-
sodes Dionysus turns on the hose.
It was pointed out to Zeus that
Bryn Mawr Mayday is a one-sided
thing; perhaps, suggested Di,
there should be two sides. A prom-
inent goddess gasped: “There’s an-
other angle to this chased business
and that’s not spelled ‘ed’.” Di was
called out of order and dismissed.

Now the Committee for the B. U.
M. D. A. (Better Understanding
of May Day Affairs) on the B. M.
C. posseses the notes of the pro-
ceedings for anyone interested.

The cast is remarkably well-

One last bon mot about Orphee—

watch for. these _ outstanding
scenes: the death scene, with
Elaine Marks as a very lively Mis-
tress Death, and her two comic
assistants, Azrael and Raphael
(played by Emma Morel and
Grace Struthers); the short, ten-

invisible Orphee through the mir-
ror; and the last scene with Le
Commissaire and his shadow

Hitchcock).
‘ Orphee is a must for all play-
goers, and the French is loud and

Of the unsigned paintings, the
