G. Hauptmann’s
Dramatic Work

Dramatist Penetrates
Human Emotion
In Plays

“More has been written about
Gerhart Hauptmann than about
any other German author since
Goethe,” Mr. Hermann J. Wei-
gand commented in his lecture
last Thursday on the greatest of
the modern German dramatists.
Honoring the ninetieth anniver-
sary of his birth, Professor Wei-
gand praised Hauptmann for his
ability to “penetrate to the heart
of everything human.”

Gerhart Hauptmann was born in
Silesia in 1862; his father was an
innkeeper, but his grandparents
were poor weavers such as he later
celebrated in one of his most fam-
ous social dramas, “Die Weber”
(1892). A problem child, Haupt-
mann spent his youth, as he later
wrote, in “unrelieved stupor”. He
attended the Breslau Art School
only to discover that his talents
lay elsewhere. Finally he became
part of a young literary movement
in Berlin and, in 1889, produced
his first play, “Vor Sonnenauf-
gang”.

The plays which followed estab-
lished Hauptmann as the leader of
the Naturalist movement in Ger-
many. Modeling himself on Ibsen,
he refined on the Norwegian’s
quality of realism. He made use
of authentic dialect in his plays;
he portrayed the Silesian peasants
that he knew so well with terrify-
ing realism. His early dramas
were written in prose; perhaps the
most famous of his early plays
“Die Weber” was condemned as
revolutionary.

By 1894, Hauptmann had begun
to break away from the Natural-
istic school. “Florian Geyer”
(1895), a historical drama of the

held a Forum of seven speakers
representing some of the funds
which have received donations in
past years.

President McBride outlined the
activities of The World Student
Service Fund of which she is vice-
president. /"WSSF supplies aid to
students in as much of the world
as possible without entering those

Mr. W. M. Frohock Sees Unities

In Patterns Of Malraux’s Novels

by Caroline

The real unity in the works of
Malraux will explain the great di-
versity in style and political view-
point and the repetition of the ob-
sessions of man, Mr. W. M. Fro-
hock of Columbia University de-
clared in his lecture on Monday
afternoon, October 20, in the Ger-
trude Ely Room of Wyndham. The
lecture on “The Recurrent Pat-
terns in the Novels of Malraux”
was sponsored by the French De-
partment.

Most critics have found little
unity in Malraux’ novels. Those
who have criticised him from a
political standpoint have been puz-
zled by his great diversity of opin-
ion. Those who study Malraux
from a stylistic point of view find
a great variety of styles.

A few critics have pointed out
that there is unity in Malraux in
the recurrent obsessions which

°54’s Junior Show Wins
Praise as Best
In Years
by Sheila Atkinson, °53

Everyone agrees wholeheartedly
(and all but the juniors a little
wistfully) that Opening Soon is
the best Junior Show that has been
produced at Bryn Mawr in the
time of the present student body.
It is even rumored that one senior
sadly remarked at the Rock dance
that people would be saying that
it was better than The Last Re-
sort, and that is genuine praise.
The script and acting, for the most
part, were superb, and the music
— well, who could beat Gwen
Davis?

The music and lyrics had a qua!-
ity which few Bryn Mawr show
songs evidence: their appeal was
not limtied to those entrenched in
Bryn Mawr tradition. The “charac-
ter” songs were a part of the char-
acters, and “I Don’t Dance Much”
and “Light of my Life” could be
on the Hit Parade. The lyrics were
clever, and the musical variety
almost unbelievable.

Not only did Gwen write the
music and lyrics, but the two songs

which she sang, “Wambi, the
Jungle Boy” and the song which
accompanied the extravaganza,

provided the high points of ’54’s
success. Her professional delivery
of “Wambi” made the audience
wallow in delight. The extrava-
ganza showed what the Juniors’
talent could do; it was an almost
perfect synthesis of writing, sing-
ing, dancing, and technical effi-
ciency.

The fact that the characters —
although all well defined and
rather extreme types—were por-
trayed convincingly attributed most
to the success of Opening Soon.
Marilyn Muir, Alice Hartman, and
Molly Holden were exceptional on
this account. Marilyn, the has-been
who hopes to be again, although
sometimes off key, pitched her
body and soul into the audience.
Alice, as Bubbles, “The Burley
Queen”, was fit for any Earle, and
Molly was a real producer (she
didn’t have to find one) of “Savoir

doint Theatre Group Announces

CastiFor The Philadelphia Story

“The Philadelphia Story”, a so-
phisticated comedy in three acts,
will be presented by the combined
theatre groups of Haverford and
Bryn Mawr on November 7 and 8
in Roberts Hall, Haverford: Brooks
Cooper, Haverford alumnus, is di-
recting the play, assisted by Mag-
gie Glenn, President of the Bryn
Mawr College Theatre.

Sue Halperin plays the part of
Tracy Lord, with William Packard
as C. K. Dexter Haven, opposite
her. Margaret Lord, Tracy’s moth-
er, is portrayed by Kathy Lurker,
sister Dinah by Debbie Jordan,
and brother Sandy by John Pfaltz.
Bill Watson plays Seth Lord, the
father; John Kittredge portrays



Uncle Willie; and Richard Linge-



man is George Kittredge, Tracy’s
fiance. Mike Connor, a magazine
writer, is played by Robin L. M.
Nevitt, and his assistant and pho-
tographer, Elizabeth Imbric, by
Gretchen Van Meter.

The play, by Philip Barry, was
a smash hit on Broadway in 1939,
and starred Katherine Hepburn
and Joseph Cotton. It deals with
the efforts of a socially prominent
‘Philadelphia family to outwit re-
porters from a tabloid magazine
who have come to do a story on
the daughter’s fashionable. wed-
ding. Comedy, intrigue, and ro-
mance are not lacking.

An intensive ticket sale drive is
being planned. Marilyn Muir is in
charge of sales at Bryn Mawr.

NEWS Policy

The Editorial Board of the College News would like to
make clear to the readers of the News its policy concerning
play reviews printed in the publication.

There are three main types of productions which are re-
viewed in the News. 1) class shows (Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford) ; 2) College Theatre productions and dramatic enter-
tainment on other college campuses; 3) professional efforts.

Class shows at Bryn Mawr are regularly reviewed by
the editor or the copy-editor of the News or both. They are
judged from the point of view that they are concerted efforts
of a class to produce entertainment, and, therefore, are not
expected to achieve the technical level of a dramatic produc-

tion. Class shows should first reflect the spirit of fun and
willing cooperation and secondly produce an evening of en-

tertainment, although these two qualifications are usually
met concurrently.

The reviewer keeps in mind the criteria of a Broadway
musical hit and realizes that the closer the production meets
the criteria the better show it is, but since class efforts are
written, staged, and produced by students, they cannot be
“panned” when they fail to meet this standard on all ac-
counts. They can be “panned” if evidence of class spirit is
lacking and the audience is plainly unamused or disappoint-
ed. Class productions at Haverford are criticized by mem-
bers of the News board or staff according to the same stan-
dards.

College Theatre productions, which are professionally
written, directed by experienced persons, and enacted by in-
terested students, are not allowed to deviate so much from
professional standards. A member of the News board or

staff writes a critical analysis using these professional stan-:

dards as a guide. Acting and stage effects should meet these
goals as far as they are able, although the News recognizes
the limited amount of time which can be spent on rehearsals
and the relative inexperience of many of the participants.
Since the purpose of a College Theatre production is to pre-
sent a good play through united effort, the play is judged on
whether or not it has fulfilled this aim. Dramatic entertain-
ment produced on other college campuses must strive for
this same goal and is criticized accordingly.

Professional efforts produced in city theatres are re-
viewed by any member of the News board or staff and by
any students on campus who wish their ideas printed. These
shows should reach the highest criteria. Last Nighters are



Foreign Students A

Bryn Mawr students from sev-
eral different countries attended

| the United Nations tea, sponsored

by SDA last Monday afternoon.
‘Beginning with reports from peo-
ple who had visited the UN build-
ings and ‘General Assembly ses-
sions, the discussion progressed to
include problems such as the Kor-
ean War and Communist China.

In commenting upon the success
and failure of the UN organization,
the group seemed to feel that it is
definitely accomplishing something
but is hampered by countries’ re-
luctance to place much authority
in it. The use of the veto privilege
and the conflict within the body be-
tween the United States and Rus-
sia are other factors which tend to
retard action,

When the group questioned the



Parties’ Supporters
Consider Economy

Tariffs, taxation, and the fed-

eral budget were the main topics
of contention at a discussion of the
issues of the Presidential Cam-
paign Monday at 8:15 in the Com-
mon Room. The meeting, spon-
sored by the Students for Steven-
son and the Youth for Eisenhower
organizations at Bryn Mawr,
dealt with the economic aspects of
the campaign. ‘Panel speakers for
the Democratic viewpoint ‘were
Joan Corbin and Mary Cahn, and
for the Republican view, Carol
Sonne and Minnie Cassatt. Sarah
Roosevelt moderated.
Joan Corbin posed the question of
whether government interference
in the economic life of the nation
does more harm than good. She
supported the thesis that the ex-
ceptional man has been able to
gain so. much wealth and power
through the economic system that
government has had to protect the
common man and enable him to
raise his living standard. She
stated that government should bal-
ance great productivity by giving
the average person the ability to
purchase the fruits of that produc-
tivity.

Pointing out the items of the}
Democratic Platform which look
to the achievement of this end,
Mary Cahn stated that the aim of
the Democratic Party is to help
the many rather than the few. She"
cited Democratic policy in regard
to labor, agriculture and the tide-
lands oil as supporting this aim.

Effects of High Taxation

Minnie Cassatt listed the injur-
ious effects of high taxation on
the economy, stating that Demo-
cratic prosperity is built on a false
foundation, consisting of an in-
flated dollar and excessive spend-
ing for defense. ‘She cited that
purchasing power, particularly that
of the lower and lower middle
classes, does not correspond to the
rise in the cost of living.

Holding that the Republican aim
was to cut unnecessary bureau-
cratic expense, Carol Sonne stated
that this move would reduce the
economic level to a more normal
standard. She attacked increased
bureaucracy which “results when
one party is in power so long that
it gets slipshod.”

The discussion was thrown open
to the audience, which argued the
problems of price control and free
trade. Methods of cutting the fed-
eral budget and the federal debt
were discussed, as well as means
to control inflation.

ir Views on U.N.

Aid and Activity in Native Countries

attitude of the United States and
United Nations toward Communist
China, Connie Tang was a propon-
ent of Chiang’s Nationalist gov-
ernment. Two of the problems
considered were: (‘Which govern-
ment represents the Chinese peo-
ple? Shouldn’t such a vast body of
people be recognized in some way
by the UN?

The Korean problem was intro-
duced by Un-Jean Paik, who
questioned the present and future
status of Korea as a nation. As
the group discussed various as-
pects of the situation, Un-Jean
answered questions concerning

South Korean people’s opinions to-
ward Singman ‘Rhee, North Korea,
Russia, the UN, and the United
States.

From Korea, the conversation
shifted to Egypt, and Suzy Haba-
shy explained the sentiment of
Egyptians regarding a foreign in-
terest in their country. After
domination by Great Britain,
Egypt is wary of any imperialistic |
tendencies from outside countries.
The people are more than willing
to accept aid from the UN, but are
very cautious about receiving
help when they feel it comes from
individual countries or private in-
terests. They fear the possibility
of succumbing to any imperialistic
power.

Later the conversation turned
toward the more immediate sub-
ject of Bryn Mawr College, its va-
rious courses and activities.

Current Events

Small Group Influence
Strikes Party
Stability

At the Current Events lecture on
Monday, October 20, Miss Clarke
presented the case for and against
possible political party realign-
ment in this coming election and in
the future. Due to the necessity
of 266 electoral votes for {He elec-
tion of a President, our two par-
ties are heterogeneous groups
that must hold together their many
different factions. For this year
and future years the trouble spots
that the Democrats might not be
able to hold are the groups that
are rising from the lower to mid-
dle class, and the South.

Organized labor, the small far-
mers, minority groups in big cities,
and the foreign-born all fall into
this former category. Many of
these people have acquired their
gains because of the Democratic
party and as long as their position
is still dependent on it, will vote
Democratic. However, very poss-
ibly this year or in the future
these groups may be entrenched,
their prosperity assured, so that
they will turn to the Republican
‘party as the conservative element
and also as representing a step up
the social ladder. There is also a
valuable point for the Republicans
that even though they are Demo-
cratic in voting, once insecurity
has disappeared, there is no incen-
tive to act and vote, and they may
become lethargic.

The Negro vote depends on
where the one-third of the Negro
population who now live in the
north are situated, whether they
are in critical areas where they
can swing the vote. The farmer
is the most controversial group
and the direction in which he
swings this year is certainly no
indication of future affiliation. If
he fears inflation or the Korean
war, he will probably vote Repub-
lican; if, on the other hand, he
fears depression he may vote
Democratic; it is almost imposs-
ible to predict how the 140 elector-
al votes of the eleven mid-western
farm states will go.

Rising Classes in South

Although the South represents
the last of sectionalism in the par-
ties, it has two new rising classes
to contend with: a labor group
that when organized will probably
keep its ‘Democratic tendencies
and a new managerial group cen-
tered in industrial area with Re-
publican leanings. If this latter
‘group is going to bolt the Demo-
cratic party, however, they will
have to buck several weighty dis-
advantages: the fear of the Negro
vote as the influential factor where
the whites are divided, the tradi-
tion of a “solid south’, and the
loss of power it now has in the
legislature and the Democratic
party as a whole as a voting block.

‘Whatever the vote of these dif-
ferent groups in the 1952 election,
there is a definite possibility of
new life in the Republican party so
that it would be very difficult to
say that the Republican party is
dead, even though it might lose
the November election.



Written in verse, it is typical of
his symbolic phase.

Hauptmann was also a bold in-
novator in the field of comedy.
“College Crampton” (1892) and
“Der Biberpelz” (1893) both illus-
trate his talents in this field.

The enigmatic Pippa of “Und
Pippa tanzt” (1906) marks a ma-
turing of his skill as a dramatist.
In all, Gerhart Hauptmann pro-
duced and published thirty-eight
plays. He died at eighty-three
having witnessed the rise and uni-
fication of Germany, and finally



her defeat under Hitler.

Sports

by Mary Jane Chubbuck, ’55

No news is good news this week
concerning the Hockey teams.
Three fast and hard-hitting Tem-
ple teams defeated the Bryn Mawr
first, second, and third teams,
Tuesday, October 14. The third
team played a good, fast game.
The Temple team was swifter than
that of Bryn Mawr. There is no
doubt that this will be remedied
by Miss Ennis this week. The line-
up was as follows:

Hobson, L.W.
Ewer, L.I.
McElroy, C.F.
Jones, R.I.
Wilmerding, R.W.
Vollmer, L.H.
Darling, C.H.
Rockefeller, R.H.
Walton, L.F.
Reinlander, R.F.
Piedad, G.

The varsity of B.M.C. did not
fare well on October 15. The de-
fense was quite good at getting
the ball up to the forwards. The
forwards were working well to-
gether going down the field. But
there was not enough rushing in
the circle. The Temple team, hav-
ing *five weeks of practice, was
much faster and had better stick
work than Bryn Mawr. No sour
grapes are intended: the point is
that B.M.C. needs more practice.

All on the second teams agreed
that the game was a good one;
both teams had to work hard for
every inch. For the first part of
the game, the defense on the two
teams hit the ball back and forth
to one another. The forward lines
had good teamwork and quick
rushing. Both the varsity and the
junior varsity of Bryn Mawr
showed marked improvement over
last week. Though they lost, the
passing and backing up was ex-
cellent. The scores were 6-1, 3-1
respectively. The following line-

ups were used: "

Rock’s Soiree Hits
Spendiferous High

by Barbara Drysdale, ’55

Follow the bright flags to the
Rock Dance where the lights of
Broadway were brightly gleaming
last Saturday night after the Jun-
ior Show. Rock was packed with
people and theatre atmosphere.

Get your tickets at the Box Of-
fice and go in to see the three main
attractions (with decorations cour-
tesy of Strawbridge & Clothier’s).
The Rockettes are Out of this
World where you have to duck
flying saucers at every turn, and
Rocket No. 54 is flying high.

Or take a few steps to enjoy
the sights of the South Pacific.
Fishing nets, coral reefs (don’t
stub your toe on the starfish), and
all kinds of bright tropical flowers
fill the scene.

Trip the light fantastic around
and around the Carousei to the
music of the Haverford Dance
Band playing from their stream-
ered cage with the sign saying:
“Please do not feed.” Take a brass
ring with you asa souvenir as
you leave Carousel for the outer
lobby lined with show posters, to
enjoy the cider and doughnuts
served at the concession stand and
to hear the Octangle.

At Gay “Song Fest”

To conclude a week-end enjoyed
by all, members from all the up-
perclasses gathered in the Com-
mon Room on Sunday afternoon
to revive old memories by singing
their songs from past class shows.
The Juniors gladly obliged with
all the musical highlights of the
night before, while the Seniors and
Sophomores rendered the hits of
their shows.

It was quite obvious from the
deep throated laughter of the male
portion of the audience that hear-
ing the old and new lyrics of show

part of the day after the night be-

another “tradition” and the new-

Various Individual Acts

Faire.”

Muggy McCabe and Judy
Thompson fit into another cate-
gory, for they weren’t such “char-
acters.” Muggy (Emily, the en-
genue) was almost convincing, and
her song, “Light of My Life”, was
very well done. Judy who pro-
vided the romance (although very
conveniently her lover never ap-
peared on stage) portrayed her
role with sincerity. It would have
been nice to have seen a little more
of her.

The idea of having a group of
would-be performers as the char-
acters was an ingenious one, for
any given ‘person could perform at
will without disrupting the story.
Because of this, the audience en-
joyed Patsy Price as a tree in a
hail storm, the “Double, Double”
of the three Weird Sisters, and
Gray Struthers, the Blues singer.
But these characters as well as

-many others were not vital to the

story, and as a consequence, the
plot was very weak. The first act
in which the characters were in-
troduced was the most enjoyable.
The anticipation that it produced
for the rest of the show was un-
fortunate, however, in that the
weak plot could not sustain the
same eagerness in the audience.

Desert Duners

The scenes evolved naturally
except for the Desert Duners
whose act seemed rather forced
upon the logical sequence of events.
Peggy Hitchcock, however, saved
the scene, her snakish body and
rakish voice producing an alluring,
but riotous Bathsolome.

The kick chorus, too, could have
been better. It would have been
more successful if stress had been
put on that part of the show or if
the act had been eliminated com-
pletely. The kicking was good in
itself, but the audience expected
something more — costumes and
more dancers. Although tradition
would have been shattered, it prob-
ably should have been left out al-
together, since what the audience
wanted in a kick chorus would not
have suited the simplicity of Open-
ing Soon.

The Junior Show was remark-
able, then, for its simplicity. °54
started with a good script based
on a clever idea and almost unbe--
lievably good songs. Their hours
of rehearsing were rewarding for
they developed these beginnings
into a very, very enjoyable per-
formance. John Whittaker’s or-
chestra was an added attraction,
very well integrated for only one
rehearsal; and Shocket’s piano
paying was remarkable for its un-
obtrusiveness (one of the best
qualities of an accompanist).

rocketing climax to the smash hit

is used-to help the unfortunate
peoples of the world on a “person
to person level.” After careful re-
search, kits are made up to be sent
to individual persons, health agen-
cies, industries, and agricultural
workers in most parts of the world.
These kits contain those articles
which the CARE workers have
found to be most useful to the re-
ceivers. “

The ‘United Fund of Philadel-
phia, represented by John Devlin,
is a composite organization. It
covers about 250 separate agencies
and services, collecting once a year
for all of them. The main agen-
cies included in the United Fund
of Philadelphia are: the Commun-
ity Chest, the Salvation Army, the
U.S.O., the American Cancer So-
ciety, the Arthritis and Rheuma-
tism Foundation, the Heart Asso-
ciation of Southeastern Pennsyl-
vania, the Mental Health Associa-
tion, and the United Cerebral Palsy
Association. |

Alfred Farrell presented the
aims of the United Negro College
Fund. This fund is also a united
appeal intended to contribute funds
to the budgets of thirty-two neg-
ro colleges in the United States.
Ten percent of the total .budgets
of these colleges is made up of the
contributions from this fund. This
fund helps to educate a great
number of negro students who
would not otherwise have the op-
portunity or means to make them-
selves useful to society.

The Save the Children Fund was
established twenty years ago to
‘help all children in need in all
parts of the world regardless of
their race, nationality or religion.”
Mr. Samuel J. Mills pointed out
that this fund supplies clothing,
school supplies, food or any par-
ticular personal necessity to child-
ren in certain areas of the South,
war-devastated parts of (Europe,
Lebanon, Korea, and the Indian
reservations in the Southwest, on
the theory that “the child of today
is the citizen of tomorrow.”

Kenneth Kurtz stated the three
services of the United Negro
Scholarship and Service Fund to
be, first, a counseling and referral
service which attempts to bring
together qualified negro students
and acceptable schols. Second the
fund provides scholarships and
loans. Third, the fund is acting on
a two-way integration program,
attempting to break down the ra-
cial barriers to college entrances.
This funds depends almost entire-
ly on college drives.

Finally Miss Margaret E. Jones
spoke for the American Friends
Service Committee, listing its
many activities in the interest of
peace. These include overseas re-
lief service, work camps_ the
world over, institutional service
units in such places as mental hos-
pitals and homes, campus sewing
programs, textile programs, the
International Student Seminars,
and many high school institutes.

The drive for USF funds will be
held sometime during the first
week in November—before the
first Pay-day.



Manager Jo Case, Music Director
Gloria Von Hebel, and Script Man-
ager Marilyn Muir, as well as all
the other Juniors who participated
should be proud. Our praises will
not stop sounding very soon.

Malraux Avoids Autobiographies in Narratives;
Individual Characters Reveal Unique Relations

Continued from Page 1

lonely man who is submitted to an
ordeal and returns to be regarded
by his fellow tribesmen as a per-
son having the traits of mythic
characters. In Les Noyers de
Altenburg, Malraux says the
hero, Vincent Berger, has some-
thing of the shaman in him. He
is neurotic, if not maniacal. He
realizes the emptiness of enter-
prise for young Turks. When he
returns to France, the newspapers
and intellectuals give him a spe-
cial status.
Similarity

Three other characters in this
same book have something of the
same experience, that is, reclusion,
ordeal, and perception of a new
truth. Dietrich Berger has a fight
with a priest. He goes to Rome
for an audience with the Pope, but
can. say nothing. When he goes
home, he goes to Mass outside the
church door.

This similarity is carried over
into other books as well. T. S.
Lawrence in Seven Pillars of Wis-
dom is like Vincent Berger. The
fact that Vincent Berger is a pro-
paganda man brings to mind
Garion in Les Conquerants. An-
other connection is made when
Berger repeats a phrase which
was previously used by Perquin in
La Voie Royale.

All of these characters reveal
an interesting similarity to Mal-



raux. They all have an interest
in politics. The trips which ap-
pear in all of Malraux’s novels
also occurred in his own life. The
fact that he underwent an ordeal
is shown by his change of writings
from frivolous to serious. This
might lead one to believe that the
novels are autobiographies, but
this is not true.

In the novels of Malraux, there
are usually two characters with
unique personal relations. There
is the initiate who experiences the
ordeal and the neophyte who ob-
serves and relates it. For example,
in Max’s Hope, there is the boy
who comes out a soldier, the neo-
phyte, and the old soldier who
shows him the way, the initiate.

Mr. Frohock suggested that we

go back to the books of Malraux
to test his theory of the recurrent
pattern and to see if some of the
questions brought to mind by other
critics were not explained.
