Foreign Policy and Peace ,

Adlai Stevenson has called the isue of war and peace the
greatest issue of our times. Although foreign policy has
yet to receive the attention due it in the present campaign,
it is paradoxical that it is in this field that the Eisenhower
Administration has shown its greatest weaknesses while at
the same time receiving its greatest popular praise. The
issue of “Peace'in Korea” was unquestionably the most im-
portant factor in the people’s decision to send Eisenhower
to the White House in 1952, yet the Republicans’ ineffectual
handling of our foreign policy today should be a pene con-
sideration in electing Stevenson President in 1956.

President Eisenhower was quoted in the New York Times
‘as saying that on “general broad foreign policy” there was
no debate, but Mr. Eisenhower underestimates the Demo-
cratic Party-when he sees no disagreement with or challenge
to the broad generalities of his foreign policy.

The Republicans have shown a tendency while in office
to use the ideas developed by previous Democratic Adminis-
tration. In domestic affairs, this adoption policy, while not
very imaginative or bold, is far from fatal; increasing Social
security coverage may not go far enough in solving problems
of poverty, but it hardly does any harm. However, in adopt-
ing the foreign policies of the Democrats, the Republicans
have found themselves in the position of continuing a foreign
policy that was, as pointed out by Henry Sawyer III, appro-
priate for the late 1940’s. The Republicans have continued
to build up military pacts, as the Bagdad Pact, and SEATO,
that are directed against the threat of Russian invasion and
war. Yet the problem of today is that of dealing with an
“atomic stalemate,” and the Republicans, whose whole em-
phasis has been on a militaristic foreign policy, have dealt
with this stalemate by offering such proposals as “massive
retaliation,” by losing the respect of our allies and offending
neutrals, and by discouraging trade of goods and ideas be-
tween East and West.

It is imperative that in its foreign policy the United
Sattes seek new outlooks and new ideas, and we feel that
Stevenson and the Democrats have shown a willingness: to
do this while the Eisenhower Administration has not. Mr.
Stevenson proposed a re-examination of the draft, recogniz-
ing that the methods used in World War I might not be the
most effective or the most efficient today. Many military ex-
perts have agreed with him, yet the Republicans and Hisen-
hower dismiss this plan as a cheap attempt to get votes.
Stevenson recommended the banning of H-Bomb tests, real-
izing the tremendous relief and respect with which this pro-
posal would be received by a world which has never forgot-
ten that the United States was the only country ever to drop
an Atom Bomb.

Eisenhower said that we could not afford to stop our
H-bomb tests and that that was his “last word” on the sub-
ject, a last word that must have proved a great disappoint-
ment to moral and intellectual leaders throughout the world.
And finally, Stevenson has shown a clear understanding of
the complex forces at work in the world today, and of the
real danger of the Russian menace, in the many times he has
taken issue with the naive Republican theory that “Peace is
the absence of war.”

As for the “competence” of the Eisenhower Adminis-
tration, and is “ability to know the right peopl¢;” we strong-
ly question Mr. Dulles’ tendency to carry the official State
Department Policy in “his coat pecker ” No other Depart-

men: S off from experienced:
and able : career diplomats.

Then again, whereas Mr. Dulles may at one time have
known the rght people, he is rapidly losing them,as the furor
over the Suez crisis has shown. A British Cabinet minister
was reported in the New York Times as saying that the most
- important result of the Suez crisis was the sharp deteriora-

tion in relations between the U.S. and Britain, due in great
part to the British belief that many of Dulles Suez actions
were close to “dou

From The Balcony

(53 - by Anna->

Kisselgoff





To the American ballet goer, the
Royal Danish Ballet, at the Acad-
emy of Music tomorrow, Friday
and Saturday, will be something of
a novelty, if not a surprise.

The Danes pride themselves on
possessing the only “Romantic”
ballet in the world. The. charac-
teristic stamp of their company is

the very visible influence of a nine-
teenth century dance tradition in-
augurated by August Bournonvlle.
Bournonville, a nineteenth century
balletmaster, choreographer and
\teacher brought along with him the
French Romantic tradition when
he arrived in Denmark. French
Romanticism, as expressed in the
ballet of that era, was to be found
in works like “La Sylphide” in
which the famous Taglioni danced,
Bournonvile transported “La Syl-
phide” to Denmark along with oth-
er works of his own creation, such
as “Napoli.” Both a revised ver-
sion of “La Sylphide” (not to be
confused with Fokine’s “Les Syl-
phides”) and the authentic Act III
of “Napoli”, will be seen at the
Academy.

“La Sylphide’s” subject matter
is truly “Romantic,” concerning it-
self with the love of a woodland
sylph and a Scotsman that ends
in tragedy. It is in “La Sylphide”
that the Bournonville tradition is
most apparent. The dancers are
still trained by the master’s teach-
ing standards and methods. Bour-.
nonville is still the much-revered
idol of the Danish ReEDRIG
and dancers.

The results of this powerful
dominance by one man over an art
form appear today; the Danish
company has preserved its own
“style.” The troup differs from
other Western companies not so
much in its repertoire as in its
technique. Philadelphians will mar-
vel at the extraordinary lightness
of the female dancers and the

910

Parade Night and its antics seem
to be a sort of “institution” on
campus. However, it is by no
means a new one.

Take, for example, the ingenuity
of the class of 1919 shown in this
little excerpt from The College
News, October 11, 1916:

‘Dictaphone, deventive work, on
bluff were all used by 1919 to
cover 1920’s carefully guar 5
parade song... All ‘week 1919 had
searched for sues ... the dicta-
phone installed in the Freshman
class president’s room was discov-
ered by Benjamin, the Pembroke
porter, who has worked with the
‘Burns Detective Agency ...

“An eager. mob of Sophomores
and Seniors besieged the gym dur-
‘ing 1920’s meeting. The Juniors,
holding doors and windows from
the inside tried to drown out the
Freshman song with athletic songs.
M. Peacock ’19. was discovered by
the indignant janitress in the. hot

but it was.M.- “Peacock who- finally

strength of the men, but. will be
puzzled by the large amount of
pantomime present in the ballets.
The Danish dancers have much
dramatic ability and regard drama
as an integral part of dance. The
two are interwoven. American bal-
let audiences may tend to be alien-

ated by this quality, as was a lady,

who, sitting next to this writer in

New York, queried after the second
act of “Napoli,” “This is just like
the silent movies. When are they
going to start dancing?”

My neighbor migsed the point.
The Danes were “dancing” from

the start. The lady’s disappoint-

ment.was-due: to her (American)
She saw
none of the almost athletic virtu-

osity of the N.Y. City Ballet. There:

was little of the dazzling brilliance
of Sadler’s Wells. Yet there was
much of a high level technique, of
drama, of a moving lyric quality,
and the harmony of a well-trained
group. The Danish company is
curiously democratic; there are no
“stars” as we know them or ve-
hicles for stars. Leading dancers
are simply termed “solo dancers”
and they themselves may take mi-
nor roles. At the opposite end of
the pole, the ‘Danish ballet children
10-12 years old, will astonish the
Academy audience with their pro-
fessional capacity.

Ballets presented at the Acad-
emy will include:
Napoli (Act III), Konservatoriet,
Coppelia, and Dream Pictures. This
writer, who saw the Royal Danish
Ballet three times in New York, is
seeing it once more in Philadel-
phia. For balletomanes, the Dan-
ish company is a must. For any
other Bryn Mawrter, it is well
worth her curiosity.

Brisbane, Australia—(Special)—
Dingoes, Koalas and Emus of this
vicinity will gather tomorrow night
in the shade of a boola bong tree
to draft plans to welcome Pogo

President, to this sunny land of
“down-under.”

One prominent Emu, manufac-
turer of false Ostrich feathers,
claimed that the denizens of Aus-
tralia and the Anzac regions are
one hundred per cent for the mar-
supial candidate. “I am not a mar-
supial myself,” said the. Emu, “al-
though I have been invited”to join

has decided to stump this country

zens from all over will be gather-
ing in New South Wales and you
can bet they will: vote to a man

Pressed on whether. the other
marsupials will welcome the opos-

Villain, Hero Battle
Amid Hisses And Boos

By Eleanor Winsor

Radnor’s freshmen, appearing
on Friday night; succeeded in pro-
viding many good laughs with
their old-fashioned melodrama
Egad! What A Cad, or Virtue Tri-
umphs Over Villiany, which was in
effect, as all such attempts must
be, a fine take-off and even a,sa-
tire on the beauties of melodrama.

The traditional elements present
were a virtuous and beauteous
maid clad in pure white, Constant
Hope (Philippa Calnan), Bertram
Oleander (Carolyn Morant) a villain
with much moustache twirling and
evil chuckling, and Augustus Grey-
stone (Barbara Broome), a rich in-
valid. Melodrama for its own pure
sake was embodied in Cynthia Hol-
ley as Ursula Greystone, who look-
ed, spoke and acted a character so
artificial that she was natural, even
to her deception by the wiles of
the villain.

The more unconventional ele-

ments were Fowler (Susan Wain-}

stein) a shiftless maid, Milly Smith
(Loretta Stern), flapper. and girl
detective who usurped the’ hero’s
role of trapping the villain and the
~-hero himself “Manly Rash (Nancy
Porter) who was quite the opposite
of his name. With Manly as a spir-
itless but obliging hero, a fact
quite ignored by the rest of the
cast who attributed to him all the
traditional virtues, the perform-
ance had the happy air of a delib-
erate farce.

Rhoads Succeeds
In Difficult Play

By Patty Page

An extremely competent per-
formance of Air Raid was given by
Rhoads’ freshmen on Saturday
night. Written in verse by Archi-
bald MacLeish, the play is a tragic
study of a group of women. waiting
unéoncernedly for an air raid from
which they feel they are safe be-
cause “men do not make war on
women.”

The staging of the play was very
effective. The use of black and
white costumes and the set group-
ing of the actors created a tableau-
like effect which served to heighten
the confusion at the climax of the
play.

The acting was good throughout.
Martha Stevens as the first an-
nouncer succeeded in setting the
mood of the play and the audi-
- ence’s attention was held through-
out the entire performance. As
the play built up to its climax and
the planes drew closer;~the~apdi-
ence actually held its breath.

Especially good were the three
young girls played by Helen Pee-
moeller, Maria Buse and Julie
O’Neil. They were properly care-
free and gay until the final scene

the apeech on the “silk petticoat,”
Carol Trimble and Eunice Strong
were good as the older and less op-
timistic members of the group of
chattering women.
Sandy Korff as the announcer on
the spot helped to create the feel-
- ing of urgency as she related what
was going on. ‘It was a difficult

part to play since it consisted

largely in standing around and let-

ting the women tell the story and

the fact that she was properly un-

obtrusive speaks well for the act-

ing of the other characters.

Non-Res Frosh Score
With Comic Phantasy

by Miriam Beames

Maud Muller: “What, uh, was
your name?”

Star: “T. G. Inspiration.”

Maud: “Why T. G.2” _

Star: “Stands for Thou Grac-
ious; some aneestor on my moth-
er’s side once insisted that I was
bound to be a guiding star. You
see, Mamma was a bit more than
a_ mother.”

Thanks to Bonnie Bendon’ s trans-
position of James Thurber’s The
Moth and the Star, the two Non-
Res freshmen (with upperclass
help) presented a hilarious dia-
logue between an idealistic, star-
struck Moth and a gruff, middle-
aged Star (Mary Lydon).

As the intellectual Maud Muller,
Alice Casciato swooped across the
stage with aesthetic and moth-like
brilliance. The two freshmen kept
the audience in stitches, but. they
managed pathos as well as com-
edy:

(Maud: Mother, if you get closer
to the lamp post...

Mother, Stop, please!

Riders To The Sea

‘By Debby Ham

Denbigh’s play, Riders to the Sea
by William Synge, captured the
tragic mood of the play and also
the Irish atmosphere.

All the characters formed an ho-
mogeneous whole in the total pic-
ture of despair and futility that
faced the friends and relations of
the fishermen who had been lost at
sea.

The actresses are to be com-
mended for their successful imi-
tation of the Irish dialect and their
skiliful portrayal of the tragic
mood which could easily have de-
generated into sentimentality. Spe-
cial commendation should go to
Carolyn Erlich who played the part
of the mother.

The other leading characters
were as follows: Kathleen—Arlene
Brenner, Nora — Carola Teegan,
Bartley — Judy Polsky. Director
was Pattie Blackmore.

Pem East Produces
MurderousComedy

By Debby Ham

Pembroke East’s play, The Lady
Killers, an amusing comedy con-
cerning a college reunion in which
two alumnae and a restroom maid
compare grievances against their
respective husbands and try to fig-
ure out the best way for immedi-

ate disposal of the latter, was suc-
cessful in giving the general at-
mosphere of a rather club woman-
ish group, as well as ig, portray-
ing contrasts of character,

Edna, a staunch supporter of
spinsterhood, is a typical determin-
ed female leader who engineers the
disposal-of-husbands project with
gleeful animation. Renny Darden
played the part with vigor and the
proper relish of her executive ca-
pacities. Miriam, played by Ann
Hockley, a direct contrast to the
domineering Edna, is an extremely
feminine, extremely emotional
type, who dubiously accepts Edna’s
plot for eliminating the source of
her trouble, her husband, Bob. Es-
pecially convincing was Ann’s abil-
ity to burst into tremulous, quav-
ering sobs at the slightest provo-
cation. Lottie, played by Pattie
Pelton, is another member of the
spouse disposal clique and repre-
sents the cool “why-not-murder-
him” attitude.

“KE.” McKeon, the man off-stage,
playing or rather, sounding the
part of the brutish husband, came
close to convincing the audience
that Pem East really does house
some sort of a masculine animal,

Jenny, played by Alice Turner, a
female in a different social strata,
but in the same predicament as the
alumnae, enters enthusiastically
into the collusion to destroy the
burdensome husbands, and emphat-
ically one “Wiggins,” who has pelt-
ed her with milk bottles for twen-
ty-four years.

Caroline, the one dissident mem-

“ber ‘of the group expresses horror

at her classmates’ lurid plan, but}.
becomes interested in spite of her-
self and stays to hear how the
murders are to be effected.

The whole situation is resolved
when a siren, played successfully
by Pam Stafford, offers to get rid
of all superfluous husbands, but
threatens to have each one fall in
love with herself. This threat
sends all schemers scurrying to the
aid of their darlings; all but Edna
that is, who concocts a plan to an-



nihilate her would-be spouse.

By Anna Kisselgoff

Pembroke West’s prize-winning
production, The Man Who Married
a Dumb Wife, revealed much act-
ing talent and the ability of its
freshmen to work together as a
team.

Throughout the whole comedy,
which concerns itself with a French
judge who has his mute wife oper-
ated on so as to make her speak,
the players displayed a good un-
derstanding of their co-actors’
roles as well as of their own.. Ap-
propriate and effective facial ex-
pressions were the common mark
of all, from the doctor’s assistants
to the judge himself.

As the unhappy judge, who
thought he was afflicted with a
dumb wife and then finds himself
worse off with a chatterbox, Trudy
Hoffman was outstanding. Her sense
of mime, her wonderfully mobile
features, and her equally -expres-
sive voice easily earned her the

Rock Stages El,
City Mood Play

By Patty Page



Rockefeller’s production of El
was the first of Saturday evening’s
freshman hall plays. The play had
no plot but was a series of moods
and impressions captured during a
day in a big city during the De-
pression.

It was too ambitious a choice, in
view of the fact that the actors
were limited to ten hours of re-
hearsal, since much of the play’s
effectiveness depended on quick cue
pick-up. The performance was un-
even; after an awkward beginning
the actors warmed to their work
and partially succeeded in putting
across to thé audience the depress-
ing atmosphere of the period.

The “hurry” scene was particu-
larly effective. The large cast was
used to advantage and the indi-
viduals rushing back and forth
across the stage not only created
the proper mood of hopeless ur-
gency but actually made the audi-

ence feel dizzy!

As the orator, Toni Ellis was a
rather confusing combination of
midway barker and crusader. Mary
Timney looked the part of the
down-and-out mother (complete
with chewing gum) and managed to
convey the air of hardened indif-
ference required by her part. Jane
Phillips as the beggar was prop-
erly repellant and whining.

audience’s laughter and sympathy.
Darcy Thomas was very good in
her pantomime as the dumb wife.
However, the first scene between
the judge and the now-talking wife,
tended to drag, although it ended
hilariously with the wife perched
on her despairing husband’s table.

Fortunately, the final husband-
wife scene, with the entire assem-
blage of doctors and friends, was
quite convincing and very spirited.
Fritzi Lincoln, Chris Brown, Fay
DuBose, B. Cox, Doris Dickler,
Lynda Adler, and the’many other
freshmen were more than adequate
in their roles.

East House Play
Concerns Homicide
By Eleanor Winsér

The offering of East House was
a comedy entitled Murder is Fun;
under the diréction of Ann Steb-
bens, who announced in her intro-
duction that her hall had rewritten
the last half of the play. The re-
vised version dealt with a rather

innocuous author played by Alison

Gill and the need of six people Tor
his money. The six suspects as
lined up by Captain Bridget Brown
of the police (Barbara Moffat)
were Myrtle Warris the maid (Car-
oly ,Duyck), Audrey Clark (Karen
Jamison), Tony Clark (Jackie Ja-
let), Julia Clark, the estranged
wife (Ilana Diamond), Jay Samp-
son, the lawyer (Marcia Levey),
and Ellita Jorgenson, Clark’s so-
licitous fiancee (Lyn Levick).

Comments on the theory of murder
and the spiritual value of the mur-
der play passed between Capt.
Brown and the voices of Frances
Bradshaw, Sharon Guggenheim and
Cynthia Stone in the audience. The
police woman seemed a bit discon-
certed by the presence of six sus-
picious characters, all of whom had
before them a chance to poison the
unfortunate Mr. Clark. Despite the
financial desires or needs of the
six, none seemed to have the
gumption to perform the murder
except the rather sophisticated,
cold-blooded Julia, or the juvenile
delinquent Tony.

East House added the ironic
twist, however, as the doctor called
in upon our author’s sudden death,
Margaret Simpson, announced that
although the corpse had swallowed
six kinds of poison during the
hour, he had died of a heart attack.

Lily Ross Taylor
Addresses Club

Lily Ross Taylor, former dean
of the Bryn Mawr graduate school
and recent professor in charge of
the school of classical studies at
the American Academy in Rome
opened the first, meeting of the
Classics Club with her dynamic lec-
ture on Julius Caesar and the Jul-
ian Star.

The Julian Star represented an
attitude toward Caesar which re-
garded him neither as a warrior
nor as a tyrant, but as a deity, a
position ascribed to him by a col-
lective leadership who built the
prestige of their own state upon
his. The ascent into heaven was
identified with that of Romulus,
founder of Rome, who was swept
up from earth in. a storm cloud.

The Roman people were willing
to accept this idea, so willing that
after the funeral oration of An-
tony they began to sacrifice to the
dead Caesar. A little later one con-
dition in the formation of the sec-
ond triumvirate was-the deification
of Caesar. The appearance at that
time, in 44 B.C. of a hitherto un-

the Republican Party still has a

“There has never been an elec-
tion such as the last (1952) in
which there were two such good
candidates. I don’t like either of
the vice-presidential candidates.”

A. C. Soper:

“I admire Ike as a moral force,’
but not the things his administra-
tion has done or encouraged (out-
side of the liberal measure that
have largely followed Democratic
policies). By this I mean particu-
larly the Republican emphasis on
big business, which has involved
the widespread surrender of nat-'
ural resources and public lands to
private exploiters: the party’s cyn-|
ical exploitation of the anti-Com-
munist drive; and the wild incon-
sistencies and blunders of. Dulles’
handling of foreign policy. I can-
not forget the President’s passive
silence during the McCarthy reign
of terror, especially since he seems
to be adopting a similar hands-off
attitude towards the integration
crisis. I think that Stevenson’s
record and public utterances show

keener intelligence, and a better
conception of what America’s fu-
ture course should be and how to
steer it. Both parties contain dan-
gerous reactionary elements. I be-
lieve that the special threat posed
by the Southern Democrats will
continue no matter who is elected,
while the Republican far right will
grow greatly in influence if Ike
gets a second term.
