Roberts Hall, April 10.— The
French Clubs of Bryn Mawr and
Haverford gave a noteworthy per-
formance of Jean Anouilh’s play,
Le Voyageur Sans Bagage, not-
withstanding certain drawbacks in
respect to authentic French ac-
cents. In most cases, however, even
these were convincing to the audi-
ence.

Although Anouilh’s play is not
an outstanding drama by any
means, the entire cast communi-
cated with precision the mood of
the corhic-tragic situations reveal-
ed in the first four acts and the
farce in the last act. At times the
actors seemed a bit stiff and ill-at-
ease on the stage, but in this pro-
duction that &added to rather than
detracted from the effect as a
whole. The comedy was height-
ened if anything by the awkward-
ness and mechanical gestures of
the players, especially in the first
act.

Role of Gaston

The role of Gaston, the war vet-
eran who had amnesia and was
searching to find his family again,
was played consistently well by
Gunther Frankl. Although in the

Lunch and Give Informal Press Interview

Miss Cornell felt equally bitter.
Miss Macy laughed and said that
Mr. Brown was an especial friend
of theirs (had we read what he
had to say about Antony and Cleo-
patra?) and that Miss Cornell did
feel the critics to be generally cap-
able, though she has been in con-
siderable disagreement with the
Times’ Mr. Atkinson this year.

However, Miss Cornell agrees
with Mr. Ferrer’s statements that
the theatre is a hard field to break
into. Miss Macy adds candidly
that of the 90 per cent unemployed
in the theatre, 85 per cent should
not be actors at all. She says that

an aspirant should try everything
else first and then, if she finds she

can’t be happy at all perhaps she
does belong in the theatre. Kath-
arine Cornell’s own success story is
something like this.

Miss Cornell is completely nat-
ural and charming. She seemed to
fear only two things: that she
might have to make a speech (“J’ll
talk to people until my voice
gives. out,” she said, “but some-
thing closes up inside me when I

find I might have to make a/

speech”); and that people’s glances
might be riveted to her gold-leafed
fingernails. | We found ourselves
riveted, indeed, but in a different
way: drawn by “Kit” Corneli’s per-
sonality, charm and ‘kindness. She
gives untiringly of herself to ev-
eryone; she is a great lady off—as
well as on—stage.



Credit Basis for
Summer Schools

Students contemplating summer
school work for which they wish
college credit should keep in mind
the basis on which transfer credit
is granted:

1) the institution must be in the
list of approved universities and



colleges, as issued by the Associa-
tion of American Universities;

2) the courses must be compar-
able to work given at Bryn Mawr |
College;

3) the courses must not repeat
or duplicate work offered for ad-
mission or taken at Bryn Mawr
College.

Hour-for-hour credit will be

given for acceptable courses taken

7 Colleges Discuss
Admissions, Speakers

for Chapel and for Current Affairs
Assemblies, since it would widen
the range of people found to be
able lecturers.

The problem of discrimination
especially in regard to admissions
was discussed at length. It was
decided to deal with the problem
through the cooperation of the in-
dividual colleges with existing or-
ganizations such as NSA and
SCED. A third item on the agenda
was the centralizing of NSA ac-
tivities on the campus to prevent
duplication of effort and, at the
same time, to keep the NSA rep-
resentative in touch with all phases
of campus activity. A plan with
the delegate to the National Con-

first act, he appeared slightly blase, | at acceptable institutions; the in-| Vontion as the coordinator of all
his performance improved from stitution’s own evaluation of the NSA activities and supported by
there on to the end. He was espe-' semester-hour value of its course|‘"¢ Student Council (perhaps at

cially good in the last act, when his |

reactions were carefully tempered
to avoid the melodrama which could
$0 easily grip such a tense situa-
tion of despair and self-incrimina-
tion. The time Gaston slipped back
into his old personality of Jacques
Renaud in a violent argument with
his mother in the third act, he was
excellent.

Madame Renaud, played by Eliz-
abeth Grey, was evidently hindered
by her youth. She tended, as did
“Valentine,” to drop the ends of
her lines. In spite of this, she gave
a convincing performance of pain
and ‘rage in her third-act scene
with Gaston; in fact this scene was
one of the two high points of the
evening.

This act was on the whole the
weakest, but it was considerably
enlivened by the aforementioned
scene and by the pathetic wailings
of the maid Juliette, Katherine
Thenault. Katherine was com-
pletely without inhibitions on the
stage, and gave the part of the 30-
year-old coquette all the comedy it
could possibly contain. When she
recounted her past affair with Gas-
ton, the ignorance, pride and hu-
mor of Juliette dominated the
scene. And she made: the second
act of the play the most entertain-
ing of the evening.

Josephine Raskind, as La Duch-
esse Dupont-Dufort, was especially

good at the beginning of the play; |

however, she.seemed tired towards
the end and as a result her inter-
pretation of the role lagged in the
last act. Probably the most diffi-

will be taken. No credit will be
given for less than one-half unit
of work, or four semester hours.

To be sure that these three re-
quirements are met, the student
must consult the Dean concerning
the institution and her. plan of
summer work, and the ARecorder
concerning the hour-for-hour
credit. If the courses are in the
major—or-allied fields, or are to
meet Bryn Mawr requirements,
they must be specifically approved
in advance by the corresponding
department here. Forms called
“Approval for transfer credit” are
available in the Dean’s Office, and
must be filled out in detail and
signed by the Dean and the de-
partments, and turned in at the
Recorder’s Office.

It should be noted that courses
taken elsewhere which have re-
ceived a grade below C will not be
accepted for transfer credit.

favored instead of a separate NSA
committee.

Relief Drives

(Discussion of the policies of va-
rious campuses regarding Relief
Drives proved that the best results
were obtained through one or two
concerted drives at the beginning
and-end-of-each year rather than
numerous smaller drives scattered
throughout the year. The financial
problems of campus newspapers,
literary publications and yearbooks
were considered as well as the na-
ture and purpose of a college year-
book, whether it should be for and
written by all classes or only the
senior class. The representatives
of the Seven Colleges favored a
conference of yearbook editors in
the fall to discuss their mutual
problems.
