Toynbee Shows
Effect of Society
And Psychology

Social Schism Denotes
The Disintegration
Of Civilization
Goodhart, March 10. The exist-
ence of a social schism, declared
Professor Arnold J. Toynbee in his
diseussion of “Social and Psycho-
logical Effects,” the fifth of his
series of lectures on “Encounters
between Civilizations,” is charac-
teristic of a civilization in disin-
tegration, and freqently takes the
form of a dominant minority con-

trolling a large proletariat.

Should a society of this sort em-
bark on conquest, Professor Toyn-
bee pointed out, the result is usv-
ally an aggravation of the existing
social contrast which it becomes
difficult to keep under control. The
ranks. of the indigenous proletar-
iat are swelled by the addition of
the conquered peoples and the lack
of balance becomes more acute.

The distinction between the dom-
inant minority and its subjects
takes a number of different forms,
said Professor Toynbee; it may
be religious, cultural (intellectual
and artistic attainments), in terms
of political and econmic power, or
racial. The first three differentia-
tions may be overcome by conver-
sion, education, or the transfer or
broadening of power, but the racial
distinction provides a virtually im-
passable barrier.

Professor Toynbee cited the Mos-
lem conquests as an example of a
group in- which: the dominant min-

Excellent Singing, Poor Orchestra

Arts Night music covered almost

this. was ayed. Outstanding
event of the eVening, to no one’s
great surprise, was the singing of
Bryn Mawr’s Double Octet and the
Haverford (single) Octet. Much
credit is to be extended to the girls
themselves for their excellent and
professional arranging, and as al-
ways, one marveled at Mrs. de Var-
on’s complete control of her singing
group. One feels that those who
sing under her are not only sing-
ing exactly as she wants them to
but also in the exact way demand-

Modern Dancing
Lacks Confidence;
Solos Outstanding

by Helen Male 49



A certain element of self-con-
sciousness pervaded most of the
dancing performance at Arts
Night. This was most_plainly vis-
ible in the Study of Technique, in
which the faces of the danseuses
could be seen by the audience. A
grim look of unrelaxed coneentra-
tion from the neck up, and stiff
unexpressiveness from the waist
down characterized this part of the
performance. Most of the rest of
the program followed suit with the
exception of Thalia Argyropolo’s
“Temple Ritual.”

“The Study of Technique” began
with the entrance of two dancers
executing a light step which
swung from the knee. As soon as
the primary direction of action was
lost in a more complicated chore-
‘ography, their careful precision
disappeared and was replaced by
tight, fettered action which was
disturbing.

“Oppressed,” a dance seen from
the back, although’ beginning with
interesting individual movements,
soon overplayed” itself; losing” its
simplicity, and the serious ap-
proach of the audience.

Marjorie Low, ’50,- freed from
the drum to the comparative
warmth and inspiration of a phon-
ograph record, began her dance
well in a restrained, graceful fash-
ion, but worked up to a climax too
quickly and tried to hold it too
long.” Her dance lost its character

Navy Training, Bubble Gum

“Miss Burch, tell me, did you
find it difficult to readjust yourself
to civilian life?”

“Oh for crying in six beers.”

“Do you find, Miss Burch, that
you are finer, deeper, broader, after
your life in the services?”

“Broader. My horizons, that is.”

“In what ways, Henny (growing
more intimate), did your navy life
fit you to be a better student at
Bryn Mawr?” |

“After two years in the services,
I flunked the hygiene exam.”

“You were in the WRENS for

Rhythm and proper feeling for
each individual song are most im-
portant in spiritual singing; the
choruses understood this. “Cookie”
is almost a synonym for “rhythm,”
and the group sang with such evi-
dent enjoyment and spirit that the
audience might conceivably have
wondered whether there is a_pos-
sible method whereby twenty-four
singers can synchronize their vis-
ible systems for keeping time! The
familiar “Witness,” re-arranged by
Nancy Knettle, had a ‘new twist,
and Ann Eberstadt’s medley of
and “When a

very lovely. “Titanic,” arranged
by Henny Burch, is fascinating to
hear, with its chorus for high so-

plement in the person of Betty
Smith, whose delightful voice is

Student Paintings
Lack Individuality
But Display Talent

by Katrina Thomas.249.

In an age when individuality and
experiment are particularly ap-
parent in the arts, Bryn Mawr stu-
dents seem to be able to offer only
run-of-the-mill subjects painted in
a prosaic manner. This character-
izes the art exhibit shown in the
foyer of Goodhart last week.

However, some of the pictures
reveal--considerable~ talent, partic-
ularly evident in the work of Bar-
bara Smith ’50, of Diana Huzagh
’49 and of Helen Hale ’49. Bar-
bara’s three pictures all show a
feeling for composition, for color
and a strong, decisive brushstroke.
The force of her black and white
portrait of a man lies. in, its..spon-.
taneity especially evident in the
eyes of her subject, while the long
streaming lines of her abstract
saint lend themselves particularly
well to watercolor. Barbara is to
be remembered for her artistic
backdrops for the Freshman Show.

Diana Huzagh’s painting of the
side of a building with its dark,
flaming colors in contrast with the
white untouched paper is extreme-

ly forceful and yet only suggestive:

of reality.
Helen Hale’s remarkable feeling

‘for movement is apparent in her

‘You'll Get Over It’? Has
Varied Characters,
Trite Plot

by Helen Anderton °49

“You'll Get Over It,” Nancy
Knettle’s play which was present-
ed at Arts Night, tells of a starry-
eyed young girl whose reaction to
being jilted can best be summed
up in her own. words: “Why,
why?” The authoress playing the
role of Kathy tried hard to make
the audience believe that just such
a person could exist. But I have
seldom seen so unreal and so un-
convincing a character. When
Phil, the boy-friend, walked out
on her I could only think that it
was the smartest thing he ever did
in his life. Her aptitude for utter-
ing cliche after cliche wa3 rivalled
only by a saccharine sweetness
which might well have driven any
man to drink.

Kathy, Skeet and Joan share an
apartment in Los Angeles—for the
one act of the play. Skeet and
Joan are more or less recognizable
characters who have learned that
ythe world is not always shrouded
in a rosy glow, the way Kathy
thinks of it. Played by Jean Swit-
endick and Barbara Bennett they
were the only real people on the
stage, and when they left it the
audience was inflicted with Kiathy’s

Lively Comedy Proves
Enjoyable; Roles
Well Cast

by Louise Ervin '49

Goodhart, March 8: Rapidity and
a considerable degree of finish of
performance against a gay and
well executed set made Faithfully
Yours a lively and colorful con-
clusion to Arts Night. The author-
director, James F. Adams, is to be
commended for his success in pre-
venting a trivial idea from degen-
erating into the triteness which
well-worn plot, setting and -char-
acters made a distinct risk. In
spite of devices which one usually
avoids in amateur stage produc-
tions whenever possible, such as
eating and telephone conversations,
Adams evaded most of the usual
cliches, and the net result was a
pleasant and thoroughly entertain-
ing comedy in which the light
touch was preserved throughout.

The parts wefe well cast and on
the whole ni oh to sustain con-
vincing, if somewhat typed, roles
putting their lines across with re-
markable clarity in spite of the
proverbial handicaps of Goodhart
auditorium. At times Marcia
Dembow as Christine Drake tend-
ed to dominate the scene exclusive-
ly, but during most of the perform-
ance the other actors prevented
Faithfully Yours from becoming a
one star show by well timed and
appropriate stage business and
promptly spoken lines.

The initial effect of the play was
excellent; good lighting and a clev-
erly constructed set provided the
requisite number of exits without
artificiality and a doorway to a
terrace, with the aid of green foot-
lights and spots, at the back left of
the stage completed the atmos-
phere of “the present, a summer

ther enhanced by such well chosen
details as Christine’s watering of
the plants on the terrace.

Although the acting was weak at
first and the audience was uncer-
tain as to whether or not the play
would.come up to the expectations’
aroused by the setting, the actors
seemd to warm up, and after a
slow start the play carried us along

Arts Night

“Creative Art’? has been bandied about with consider-
able smugness and complacent idealism ever since agitation
began last-year for more “creative effort” on campus. Al-
though this program was the specific creation of a small
group, enthusiasm spread and the majority of the undergrad-
uates watched with interest and eagerness the efforts of the
drama group and other manifestations of the movement. Cre-
ation, the desire for individual and group artistic production
in any number of forms, seemed at first to be a universal re-
action among the undergraduates away from the more highly
organized and rigid group activities then existing on campus.

Last spring saw the first Arts Night—the first concerted
effort on the part of all groups working along creative lines.
Its success is to be attributed to two important factors, each
essential to the other, and both sadly lacking in the Arts
Night we have jyst witnessed: spontaneity on the part of the
“creators” and receptiveness on the part of those whose func-
tion is to witness and to judge. Artistic productions of any
kind must necessarily be the work of a few; the group must
be flexible in membership, ready to receive new ideas and new
techniques, but it must not seek to enlarge or perpetuate it-
self by the addition of people who can only attempt to create
from a sense of moral duty to participate.

While ambition must always be a part of creation, those
who: are presenting Arts Night make a serious mistake in
feeling that they must fill a definite program, patterned after
previous performances. If the material which is of merit is
insufficient to permit of an entire evening’s performance, they
should content themselves with a smaller, well-done presen-
tation; their efforts will count for much more. Artistic pro-
duction must not become stereotyped; without flexibility and
spontaneity it will defeat its creative purposes, and the
achievements will be mediocre at best.

Given a receptive and intelligent audience, the artistic
members of the campus will be free to develop their talents
and to offer them for evaluation. Those whose abilities lie
in other directions must not, on the other hand, allow them-
selves to relax into lazy contemplation or disregard. Criti-

-cism is necessary, is of supreme importance, but it mug be
thoughtful and constructive peahpend ssies on a sincere con-

Publications and
Advertising Jobs

Deanery, March 10. At -the second
large vocational conference of the
year the subjects of Publishing
and Advertising were discussed by
three former students of Bryn
Mawr who are employed in these
fields. Those speaking were Mar-
jorie Catron 742, of Simon and
Schuster, April Oursler ’46, of the
Readers’ Digest, and Mary Hemp-
hill ’44, of N. W. Ayer and Son.

Miss Catron stated that anyone
wanting to break into the publish-
ing field must be “willing to empty
wastebaskets, if necessary,” while
acquiring the experience necessary
to make her a really valuable part
of the firm. She emphasized the
value of a knowledge of typing and
shorthand and, if possible, ability
to read one or more foreign lan-
guages, especially in the early
stages of a career in publishing.

Know Your Magazine

April Oursler advised that “‘be-
fore you try to get a job on a
magazine, be sure you enjoy read-
ing magazines, and especially that
one.” Before applying it is a good
idea to make a study of the maga-
zine you would like to work for, of
its policies, its reading public, and
the type of material it specializes
in. In the magazine field as well
as in publishing, a knowledge of
secretarial work is very important.
A good idea for a beginner is to
get a job on a small magazine
where she has an opportunity to at-
tempt all the different kinds of
work connected with putting out a
publication. This wide range of
experience will be very useful in
later work on a larger magazine.

Advertising Work

Mary Hemphill stated that in
advertising work, and especially
its business end, employers are
chiefly interested in people with
experience in planning things. They
are more concerned wth extra-cur-
ricular activities and hobbies than
with what subject one has majored
in. There are four main divisions
in the work of a large advertising
firm—research, creative work, the
business side, and the service divi-
sion. The first includes studying
the company which desires to ad-

someone who is confident in her use
of the brush. The same effortless
grace is shown in the anonymous-
ly painted autumn trees.

Sando] Stoddard ’48’s red, brown
and purple painting, suggestive of
the barren desert is striking for its
color although it is very simple in
concept. The black and _ white
sketch of the three women watch-
ing the children at play is an ex-
cellent caricature of matronly
stances reminiscent of Helen Hok-
inson. The charming simplicity of
an anonymously painted city street
in an oval design, as if seen
through an arch, is effective in its
unpretentiousness. Mary Bord-
man’s massive figures on a sombre
beach are effective but seem labor-
ed. The seemingly childlike Car-
ousel is one of the few fearless pic-
tures exhibited, showing that the
painter has art on her mind rather
than representation of reality. It
has sophisticated design and gay
coloring.

Opinion

Fencing is Neglected;
Pentagonal Meet
Unpublicized

To the Editor:

It should be called to the atten-
tion of the News that,. as far as
publicity is concerned, one sport is
being entirely neglected. Hockey,
basketball, swimming receive full
publicity whether the games are
won.or lost—but not fencing! Fenc-
ing has not once been mentioned
in the News this year. Few peo-
ple.in the college realize that the
annual Pentagonal Fencing Meet
took place in New Haven on March
1.. Bryn Mawr competed against
Vassar, Radcliffe, Albertus Mag-
nus, and Mount Holyoke. We
placed second in the team compe-
tition, and second and fourth in the
individual competition.

Everyone reads about our teams
beating Beaver or Ursinus—doesn’t
fencing rate any publicity? How
about it!

Sincerely,
Ann Chowning ’50

idealistic ravings, and Phil’s_ in-
cessant self-debasement.

One could allow this trite, tried
and tested flot to pass without
comment, for a real situation was
being exposed, but the unreality
with which it was presented was
the thing at fault. Phil and Kathy,
“the boy and girl,’ never come
alive at all. A series of cliches
does not constitute reality. It does
jar the audience to a point almost
beyond belief. When Phil calls on
the phone, Kathy’s dewy-voiced
“Hello there yourself” is calculat-
ed to make most audiences wince.
This audience audibly groaned.
When Phil appeared he looked and
acted more like a gangly fifteen
year old than a war veteran. To
an adolescent youth Kathy’s sug-
gestion that they drink a “coke”
might have been appealing. But
if Phil was anything like he-said
he was, Kathy should have shed
her idealism just long’ enough to
offer him a good stiff highball.

The exposition of the play was
fairly well handled. The develop-
ment was vaguely discernible. The
production was utterly ruined by
the unreality of Kathy’s and Phil’s
characterizations. Phil was the “I
am unworthy of you, kick me twice
around the block” kind of charac-
ter who walked out on his girl.
Then she knew that underneath it
all he simply was NOT what he
said he was. I do not believe that
real people in a similar situation
would say the things that these
two said to each other. The epi-
sode sounded forced, and the act-
ing. was even more so. Ted Wright
as Phil, was miscast. No more
need be said on that count.

unoriginal, one-acter. As it stands
now it does not reveal the writer’s

Panel Analyzes
Strike Problems

Common Room, Wednesday,
March 6. “The Democratic founda-
tion rests on collective bargaining,
which in turn rests on the right to
strike,” said Mr. Peter Bachrach
at the Panel Discussion, “Strikes
in Basic, Industries.” Mr. Bach-
rach, taking the government side
of the problem, spoke after Mr.
Edward Morehouse and Mr. Mich-
ael Harris. Although the three ap-
proached the problem of strikes in
the major industries from entirely
different angles, Mr. Morehouse
representing Management and Mr.
Harris, Labor, some of the conclu-
sions reached were virtually iden-
tical.

Mr. Morehouse opened the dis-
cussion by presenting his ideas on
the striking of workers in essen-
tial industries. The major prob-
fem, said Mr. Morehouse, is “How
to organize relations with employ-
ees to avoid interruptions of serv-
ice to the public.” After the break-
down of collective bargaining there
are four possible recourses; Arbi-
tration, compulsory or otherwise,
Conciliation, Mediation and State
Seizure.

Mr. the

Morehouse expressed
“collective bargaining with respon-
sible unions” than with the former.
His main comment on strikes was
that “It may be warranted to put
limitation on the timing of the
right to strike” in the cases under
discussion (power, transportation,
utilities etc.).

“The right to work means the
right to work at all times—not at

Singing Stands Out
Amidst Other Music

Continued from Page 1

Betty’s arrangement of ‘Wide,
Deep, Troubled Water” is poignant
and beautiful, while “Ain’t That
Good News” packs a real punch in
its two stunning opening solo lines.
The encore, “There isa Balm—in
Gilead,” was a fine conclusion and
gave the audience a chance to hear
Posy Johnson’s lovely soprano.

It is now necessary to take up
the problems of the orchestra. The
audience, extremely rude during
the two. opening numbers, never-
theless is justified from an artis-
tic standpoint. No one expects the
New York Philharmonic. However,
one does have a right to expect a
group which plays together and in
time. When the individual mem-
‘bers, most of whom seem to wun-
derstand and take pleasure in mu-
sic and in their individual instru-
ments, finally achieve that moment
when they are playing together—
such as when they immediately be-
gin to follow the lead of the piano
—the orchestra sounds creditable.
It seems a pity that the orchestra
should be so small, as its size ob-
viously hampers it; if no more
members can be found one might

We would like to hear Helen An-
derton’s “Scherzo” played again in
order to concentrate on composi-
tion rather than performance.
However, its themes were original
and interesting and its orchestra-
tion excellent. Helen is cer-
tainly to be commended for her
hard work, and we look forward to
hearing more of it. Richard Schu-
man’s Prelude for piano and violin
was quite lovely and showed more
than promise.__The violin’s plain-
tive theme was. well-played by
Ragnar Austad, who emerged vic-
torious from a difficult bowing con-
test provided by Schuman. Ruth
Crane suffered from an _ inferior
piano but played with her usual
technical perfection and excellent
interpretation. Ruth is a real mu-
sician and a diligent one; we would
like the opportunity of hearing her
again in another capacity than
that of accompanist.

Nancy Knettle’s Musicale show-
ed commendable enterprise and a
nice sense of rhythm but unfortun-
ate triteness in every selection but
the last. “East Coast,” a pleasant
if unprepéssessing number, was
played with gusto by Henny Burch
and Ruth Crane, who “went” equal-
ly well together in “Let’s Synchro-
nize,” a very clever song, though
the words were not always dis-
tinguishable. The other two songs,

“Land Where Another Sun Shines”

and “I Dreamed About You Last

Chapel Conducted
By Rev. Sturges

The Reverend Philemon F. Stur-
ges, Rector of the Church of St.
Martin-in-the-Fields, Philadelphia,
conducted the chapel service in the
Music Room on March 9.

The text of Reverend Sturges’
talk was the thirteenth chapter of
Corinthians from the Epistles of
St. Paul. Reverend Sturges com-
pared the period in which Paul
lived, when things seemed to be
coming to an end, to the situation
at present.

Although the forces in our life
seem to be armies, force, and gov-
ernment, pointed—out-Reverend
Sturges, faith, hope and charity
are the forces that abide. The fail-
ure to aim at the highest we know
is the result of weakness of faith,
hope and charity.

The church asks people to take
time to think about what goes on
inside of them. and to see if they
really have those qualities, explain-
ed Mr. Sturges. He added that
without faith and hope and char-
ity we cannot meet the challenge
of the day in which we live.

“popular”

Bryn Mawr and Haverford have
undoubted and genuine talent with-
in their ranks. It is to be hoped
that this talent will not wait for
another formal Arts Night to show
itself still further; perhaps a night
of original music could be arrang-
ed between the two colleges. We
await eagerly the advent of more
new music, from either our “estab-
lished” composers or from talent
as yet undiscovered.

With the aid of Sheila Tatnall
as Lorelei, the lively young maid
who spends most of her waking
moments absorbed in reading tragic
love stories of the magazine var-
iety, David Blackwell succeeded in
traversing-the opening moments of
the play with a minimum of diffi-
culty. Lorelei’s voice was excel-
lent, with just the right inflection
and a smattering of artificiality in
her well acted earnestness. David
Blackwell seemed somewhat at a
loss, but managed to retreat be-
hind his spectacles with sufficient
poise until the entrance of Marcia
Dentbow as Christine Drake gave-
him more of a reason for acting.

After an entrance which at once
awoke the audience, Marcia played
the clever and attractive wife of
script writer Drake with continu-
ity, and at the same time managed
to achieve a considerable amount
of variety, which the other char-
acters lacked. Her attempts to
help Carl write a scenario concern-
ing a young married couple who
have been unfaithful are diverse
and amusing. “She contrives” to
come out on top in one way or an-
other, at times with such retorts as
“you don’t ask your friends how
they’ve been unfaithful!”

“We are not producing any new

said Dr. Marshall Gates, Associate
Professor of Chemistry, the other
day. “This is purely academic re-
search.” This year, Dr. Gates has
been continuing his work in syn-
thetic organic chemistry under a
Frederick Gardner Cottrell Grant.
The grant, awarded by the Re-
search Corporation on a competi-
tive basis, enables the holder to
carry out studies in a particular
scientific field. It also provides for
the employing of a full time as-
sistant, besides supplying money
for chemicals and laboratory ma-

terials.

In this Cottrell grant, Dr. Gates
is furthering work which he start-
ed before the war. Explaining
briefly to the lay reporter, Dr.

ant were “working on some reac- |

are spent, said Dr. Gates, in prep-

Dr. Gates, with his assistant,
plans to continue his work through
the summer. By then he expects
definite results of a nature suit-
able for publication. Though there
is no immediate practical use for
his research, these experiments, he
said,, may illuminate the mechan-
ism of substitution reactions and
therefore be of general interest to
the organic chemist.

An important purpose of the Re-
search Corporation Grants is the
upbuilding of the institution under
whose auspices the research is
done. The scientific ability of the.
applicant, the merit of the propos-

ability of the institution for the un-

Brachet Explains
Value of Embryo -

For Experiments

“The embryo is the most reveal-
ing stage of fe at which to study
physiological and cellular proh-
lems, since the life-processes are
at tneir most active stage during
that pnase,” said M. Jean Brachet
at vaiton Hall on the evening of
Thursday, March 6. M. Brachet is
a proiessor at the University of
Brusseis, and is now Visiting at
the University of Pennsyivania.
His lecture was on “New Trends
in Mmoryology.”

‘ne vaiue of embryology as a
field of stuay, both anatomical and
chemical, lies in its rapid growth
and ciarity of difterentiation as

- weil as its function as a “closed

system,” uninnuenced by its en-
vironment except tor the exchange
of gases. M. brachet pointed out
that this “closed system” makes
the embryo a valuaple test-field
from the experimenter’s point of
view; the dimerentaation of embry-
onic cells is a fundamentally im-
portant problem in Biology, and
in the embryo the change of the
undiserentiated cells to ceils of the
heart or intestine or brain may be
studied best for its own intrinsic
interest, and for the understand-
ing of such problems as the “an-
archial growth” of cancer.

Chemical Embryology

Chemical embryology, Mr. Bra-
chet’s special field, would never
have been possible without the ef-
forts of men like William Harvey
(who first. formulated the belief
that all animals originate from
fertilized egg cells); Leuwenhoek
and Pasteur (who combatted the
theory»of spontaneous generation);
Spalianzani (the first true experi-
mental embryologist); and the
German biologists of the last cen-
tury who studied localization in
the embryo, and the action of the

- organizer. The organizer is the

area which later develops into the
muscles and cords; it intiuences the
upper half of the embryo to form
the nervous system; otherwise the
cells would form skin.

Technical Advances

Great technical advances, M.
Brachet pointed out, have speeded
Chemical Embryology along in the
past ten years. Meters have been
developed, delicate enough to mea-
sure the life actions of small em-
bryonic areas and the exchange of
gases. He explained that three
new theories have been put for-
ward about egg-fertilization: that
of Lillie, that the egg gives out a
substance to stimulate and attract
the sperm; of Loeb that the egg
goes through a destructive phase,
immediately after fertilization and
then reverses; and Bataillu that
the egg is there before fertiliza-
tion because of intoxication, but
the advent of the sperm releases
the toxic substances. Chemical
embryologists have partially and
tentatively identified the stimulat-
ing substance of the organism that
leads the cell-differentiation, as
nucleic acid.

M. Brachet expects rapid ad-
vances in Chemical Embryology in
the near future, and insists on the
indebtedness of this work in the
past to the embryological studies
that preceded it,

Over Swarthmore

Gym, March 8. Bryn Mawr car-
ried off the victory from Swarth-
more in the next to the last bas-
ketball game of the season. The
first team triumphed 28-14, while
the second team tied at 18-18.

the day was shown by Ning Hitch-
cock, first team forward, who made
17 points. Swarthmore moved well
as a team, but seldom pulled off the
brilliant interceptions or long shots
of Bryn Mawr.

The second teams were evenly
matched, though Swarthmore set
the pace during the first half, and
Bryn Mawr rooters were in a crit-
ical condition by the end of the
game.

The last game of the season will
be on Wednesday, March 12 with
Rosemont, at Bryn Mawr.

stage. Herbert Cheyette did as
much as possible with the part al-
lotted to him, and succeeded in con-
vineing his audience anew of Chris-
tine’s powers. Perhaps he was
necessary as fill-in during the in-
terval between Drake’s telephone
conversation with Bruno Staunch-
ion and the producer’s arrival at
the Drake home. Don Shoffstall, a
late comer to the cast of Faithfully
Yours, was excellent as the burly
producer for whom “domestic tran-
quility has been violated.” His en-
trance was poor; indeed one felt
that he was a trifle uncertain as
to precisely how he got there, but
once on stage his portrayal of the
Pagliacci of comedy was commend-
able. His disillusionment and ser-
ious observations on life were just
what was needed from a man who
intended to bring his wife back
home by writing a movie about
her, one who felt above all that “a
man cannot live by humor alone!”
Of the smaller parts in Faith-
fully Yours that of Hattie Arling-
ton was by far the best portrayed.
Ellen Harriman fitted perfectly
into her role as the pleasantly
tough, deep voiced *movie actress,

‘|married to a prominent producer.

Her deep voice was used to the
fullest advantage, and her costume
completed the picture of the one
type needed to complete the “movie
set.” The eclat with which she
hurled such epithets as “That
Scrod!”—applied to her husband
—brought down the house. We were
sorry that her part was not more

the whim of a company,” said Mr.
Harris is presenting Labor’s point
of view in the discussion. Pointing
out that one man could always
threaten to quit but “so what?” he
continued. “The important freedom
is the right to quit work collective-
ly.” Mr. Harris also expressed the
opinion that the main problem fac-
ing management and labor alike is
that the public doesn’t know the
facts of each case.

Mentioning a few instances in
which management would not ac-
cept Government findings for an
increase in wage rates, Mr. Harris
pointed out that in these cases
there was-certainly..a justifiable
reason to strike, but that the pub-

lic never had the opportunity to

learn the whole story in such cas-
es. Mr. Harris concluded that the
problem of curtailing strikes rests
first on industry, because they
must change their attitude and re-
alize that unions are here to stay,
and secondly, on the public to de-
termine fairly who is responsible
for each strike. s

‘“Tf you bargain and have noth-
ing to lose by not bargaining—
there is no incentive to bargain,”
pointed out Mr. Bachrach. “There
must be a pitfall of economic loss
and suffering on both sides,” he
continued in pointing out the need
for the right to strike. Further-
more, he pointed out that there
must be an equalization of pres-
sure groups, citing the situation
in England as an example. “If you
attempt to break down labor you
can’t do it by passing laws because
labor immediately moves to the
political field.”

As solutions to the problem Mr.
Bachrach mentioned three courses
he believes necessary. ‘First, the
strengthening of collective bargain-
ing, in which he stated that the role
of Government was to defeat all
legislation curtailing the rights or
abuses of labor and second the
strengthening of the Labor move-
ment in this country with more dis-

cipline-and_realization of -responsi=-|+

bilities. Finally, there must be
sound economic planning and a
carrying through of the Employ-
ment Act of 1946,

Part of B. M. Chorus Plans Trip
To Poughkeepsie for Song fest

by Barbara Bettman ’49

Juniors and seniors of the col-
lege chorus, plus those few select
sophomores who are members. of
the double octet, will journey to
| Vassar Saturday, Murch 15, to sing

with Vassar, Radcliffe and Smith
on Sunday afternoon. Bryn Mawr’s
group of forty-five will be shelter-
ed by the potential Daisy Chainers
Saturday night, after dining en
masse in New York (Remarks
“Cookie,” “It’ll be nicer than eat-
ing’ alone.”), and will be fed on
Sunday. Similar guest-friendship

twill. be extended to the . Radcliffe

and Smith contingents, each sixty
strong, the+Poughl:eepsie citadel
being apparently as infinitely ex-
pandable as Barnum and Bailey’s
Chevrolet.

Mendelssohn and Bach

Probably under tae direction of
E. Harold Geer, Vassar’s director,
the combined choruses will sing
Mendelssohn’s “Laudate Pueri”
and “In Dulce Jubilo,” an old
Christmas carol arranged by Bach
and conducted to Bryn Mawr ears
by way of the Haverford chorus
which sang it here at Christmas.

Six Familiar Songs

The Bryn Mawr chorus, directed
by “Cookie,” will sing six songs,

all of which are familiar to the’



well-trained Bryn Mawr radio lis-

tener: and/or .chapel-goer. These
include: “Awake Thou Wintry
Earth,” “Suscepit Israel,” “My

Soul There is a Country,” “Bloom-
ing on the Hilltop,” “Cancao,” and
Irving Fine’s “Alleluia.”

The program of the conference
included student papers in various
scientific fields as well as speeches
and papers by eminent scientists
and philosophers from many col-

blessed with two cowlicks? Wouldn't one have been enough?

If you could have only been born looking like everybody

But what an assortment ! And are you ever stuck with them I

Well, there was a little girl and she had a little curl. There ~
was a horse with a horn on his forehead. If you asked them
what they thought about their claims to fame she'd say her
eurls weren’t cute...he’d say his horn was horrid. But every-
body knows about that girl and that horse... because they
didn’t look like everybody else!

So why. not. make your private thorn your trademark?
Emphasize your quirky eyebrow...concentrate on featuring
your cowlicks...play up your unusual hairline...sleek your-
self to go with slick, straight hair. Instead of trying to
camouflage your secret worry...brazen it into a talking point.
Play it up...let it do something for you. Everybody’s going
to see it anyhow...so let them know that you, too, know it’s,
there!

Make it interesting...register it on your audience. Make

them remember your featured feature. Should you have two
to deal with...and one a real problem...you can flag their
eyes into seeing only what you want: them to see. And that
takes the hurt out of thorns!

That Christine and Bruno shoula
go off for a drive at that moment
seemed to this reviewer primarily
intended to ‘clear. the stage for the
subsequent episode between Hattie
and Carl. Nor was the conclusion
up. to the expectations of the earl-
ier parts of the play. However,
Adams saved it from degenerating
into the trite “kiss-and-make-up”
solution by a sprinkling of amus-
ing lines and the whirlwind exit of

flung after them —-WHERE? ?!

dominated the stage with consider-
able subtlety until her final “I
want to go and I’ve made up our
mind” was altogether convincing.
Although the lines of Faithfully
Yours were no more unusual than
was the idea behind it, both the
playwright and the actors achieved
something beyond the ordinary in
their treatment of it. Their suc-
cess is to be attributed to the pres-
ervation of a light touch through-
out, essential when working with
such material.
