Tim Sheldon’s

“The Uninvited”
To Visit BMC

“College Theatre is Sontine
The Uninvited,” says Sue Gold
director of the production, “because
it is, eminently, a thing worth do-
ing. It is highly original and an
exciting experiment in theatre!”

Written by Timothy Sheldon,
Haverford ’59, this three-act, free-
verse drama to be presented this
weekend in Skinner Workshop,
may best be described as a com-
edy with a serious theme and
hopeful ending. Basically, it is
the story of a blind youth grow-
ing up to love and to sex.

The play is fundamental, almost
primitive in nature. Meant by its
author to deal with basic elements
of life, to depict man apart from
the trappings of civilization, it is
written in poetic, Anglo-Saxon dia-
logue and set in no-time, no-place.
The set, designed by Trudy Hoff-
mann, employs green draping to
suggest, rather than accurately
delineate the clearing in the woods
where the action occurs. Other as-
pects of the production are to be
kept secret but, Sue promises,

“they will be quite startling”.

The cast includes Jinty Myles
and Jim Cooper as Mea and Ansel,
a pretty, young couple who find
and rear a blind baby; Phil Miller,
the ‘foster child as an adolescent;
Betty Ferber, the aged mother of
Mea; Trudy Hoffmann and Hugh
Ogden as Beezy and Kalim; and
Sue Harris as Lin, their teen-age
daughter. Assisting Sue Gold in
the direction is Cary Webb Hank.
Kate Jordan is stage manager.

About the ‘script itself, written
by the Haverford senior for Mr.
Butman’s play-writing course, Sue
is enthusiastic. She compares it
to the work of Fry in its tone and
styie, but hastens to add that it is
an extremely original piece of
work, It is an exciting junction
of poetry and drama, she says, and
should be seen by anyone interest-
ed in theatre.

Choruses Offer

Waried Program

A diversified program of Christ-
mas and sacred music is planned
for this Sunday evenings Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Christmas Con-
cert in Goodhart Auditorium. Mr.
Goodale and Mr. Ludington will
conduct the choruses.

The Bryn Mawr Chorus, accom-
panied by a small string group,
will sing Vincent Luwuebeck’s
“Christmas Cantata,” for two-part
women’s voices. Luebeck was born
in 1654 in the province of -Hanover,
Germany. He was a virtuoso organ-
ist and also a great teacher of or-
ganists. The Cantata opens with an
instrumental Sonata. The first and
last stanzas are the same, and sung
by the full chorus. The three solo
stanzas in between will be sung by
the Double Octet. The whole Can-
tata is very pure and song-like,
often with naively simple jllustra-
tions of the words.

Both choruses are singing Die-

trich Buxtehude’s Magnificat.” Bux-
tehude was a teacher of Bach’s, and
is now all too often eclipsed in the
light of his famous pupil. This
“Magnificat’ is much more intimate
than Bach’s, and on a smal’er scale.

Abraham and Isaac is a moral

service. ‘Thus, Sunday night’s per-
surmance cannot be juaged solely

ail the actors deserve praise.

expressed both emotions with a
.adiant sincerity which made her
part very moving, especiaily in
ner first scene with the angel, in
spite of an occasional shakiness
of delivery. The repetitiousness of
the text made it difficult to-.sus-
cain a continous note of high emo-
vion during the scene of the sac-
riiice itse:f, and the anguish of
poth Abraham and Isaac, neither
completely sty:ized nor completely
realistic, did not, I think, com-
municate itself to the audience ex-
cept in isolated moments.

Isaac: Evaluated

In the less demanding role of
isaac, Alison Baker showed the
same charm which characterized
her playing of the Fairy Child in
Land of Heart’s Desire earlier
this year. Her musical voice, grace-
ful movements, and sweetness of
expression were tempered by
enough boyishness to keep Isaac
from turning into a prig, and to
guarantee her, if she is not care-
ful, a long string of boy’s parts
in the future.

Abigail Wooten. as the Angel
gave the most flawless perform-
ance in the play. Without any
attempt to dramatise her part, she
let her lines speak for themselves
with an apparently effortless sim-
plicity and clarity. By contrast,
God’s speeches, as delivered by
Elizabeth Jones, tended to be mon-
otonous. Her voice itself was good,
but the words were rather sing-
song.

The Doctor’s shbvaltihae speech
was on the whole well handled by
Lynn Hollander, who maintained

stuffed or live. But, while I hate

Reviewer Remarks Sporadic Excellence
Harmony of Presentation

‘King John’

by Elizabeth Carr

There can be no doubting the

|challenge, and little quibbling with

the prificiple, of presenting a not
generally given and commonly cut
play. (especially of Shakespeare)
as much as can be discovered pure;
that they brought to the answer-
ing such a call to the boards times

‘and types, to no small extent, of

goodness of theatre, is much to the

credit of everyone concerned with
King John (on Goodhart stage,
and backstage, some time not out
of mind ago).

That the play qua play would
have been still better theatre with
certain cutting of—if not super-
fluous, at- least over-abundant—
breath (never of course in the case
of the Bastard of whom it was
said) is an unkind and, in refer-
ence to this play, the sort of not
arrogant but unadventurous re-
mark that one hesitates to make.
Yet it cannot well go unsaid, since
nearly all the principal detractions
from an otherwise intelligent sen-
sitive and sensuously pleasing pro-
duction may be referred to it.
This is not to proclaim however
the absurdity that the primary
faults of this King John were
Shakespeare’s; rather I submit
that the subtraction of parts of
lesser dramatic importance and
which received (yet,, often not con-
sequently) a weaker presentation
would, in thus emphasizing the
stronger parts, have achieved a
greater dramatic unity for and of
the particular production. An un-
fair number of critics can atest to
the fact that King John is poor
«tage fare because it lacks (instead)
unity of plot and hero: in their ad-
mirable coping here however with
the problem of hero that of plot
was nearly solved, and would have
been to an even greater degree with,
again, some removal of rant. Poor
stage fare though the play em-
Dhatically is not; and muttonhead
be he called° who watched unre-
sponsively the scene of—let us say
—John’s beguiling Hubert to mur-
der the young Arthur,

It is a play then of sporadic ex-
cellence, though a ‘history play’
less politically intriguing than
emotionally, several of its most
engrossing scenes being as well
frustrating—since in them a char-
acter more sensitive than the rest
to a personal or the outward cris-
is grieves, pleads, or exhorts, as
the case may be, to little apparent
effect upon the rest, There is de-
velopment of character in the play,
but interaction of character is
seldom observable in progress or
in result, to the extent that when
it does occur critics cringe and
manage to find the scenes contain-
ing it alien to the whole,—this
particularly in the instance of
Arthur’s pleading with Hubert to
spare his life.

It is a difficult play then and not
easily brought into accord with
itself. Its larger roles are easily
susceptible to individual develop-
ment out of all harmony with
each other or the whole, its small-
er to the attendant sin of either
employing variety for its own sake
or taking on the drab grey of com-
ic relief’s opposite in nature and
counterpart in function. Happily |
indeed then came the not infre-

| quent-discovery hére of this sought

harmony, of performance, of lines

Brass Ensemble -
“tarts Workshop

A trumpet tune by Henry Pur-
cell opened the first workshop of
the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble
in Goodhart Music Room. This
series of two workshops and a con-
cert is sponsored by the Friends
of Music of B.M.C. There were six
players in the group; three trum-
pets: Samuel Gilbert Johnson; a
French horn: Mason Jones; a trom-
bone: Henry C. Smith III; and a
tuba: Abe Torchinsky.

Mr. Smith began by explaining
the basic principes on which all
brass instruments operate, and then
applying them to his instrument,
the trombone, in particular. ““A
bras instrument is just a pipe”,
he explained, and the sound is pro-
duced by the lip acting as a sort
of double reed, aided by the mouth-
pieec. He defined sound as a dis-
turbance or vibration perceived by
the ear. A tuning fork, perhaps
the simplest. of all instruments,
with the vibration of one of its
toines, compreses molecules of air
alternately on either side.. These
compressions travel at a certain
distance apart, called a wave
length.

In applying these basic physical
principles to the sound of a brass
instrument, Mr. Smith said, “The
molecules of air inside a pipe vi-
braté in what you might describe
as eddies.” When there is a dis-
turbance at either end of a trom-
bone pipe, and repose in the mid-
dle, it produces its fundamental
tone, a low Bb, or 57 vibrations per
second, One-half of this wave
length produces a tone an octave
higher, with twice as many vibra-
tions. By adjusting his lip ten-
sion, the trombonist can play a

notes.
Other brases work on exactly
the same principle, but their dif-



ferent pi ipe lengths produce corres-

“pondingly different fundamental
tones. The slide of the trombone

“Honor pricks us on. .”

Lo! the hour inevitable hour approaches and each one
shall survey her bookshelf and her conscience and shall re-
move the small tan library cards and the large blue reserve
cards from the volumes of her private collection of personally
chosen library books, and affixing legible signatures will good-
speed these cars to the small wooden boxes which the library
has so long and so conveniently offered as a resting place.
Such is the force of henor—official honor, we hasten to
amend. For a short time the library may struggle under
heaps of excess filing, but they too, will make sacrifices.

Our duty done, we will rejoice and reap benefits. No
longer will missing books provide a facade behind which the
unprepared may stare blankly at a questioning professor.
Class discussion, so long deplored, will rise like the phoenix

frequent and sparkling with brilliant observation, well-sub-
stantiated opinion. New enthusiasm, boundless ardor for
learning will warm even the cold ar of nine o’clock Taylor.
And honor will grow greener.

We do not temper our enthusiasm with discussion of |
penalties and weakening of the honor system, because it}

hardly seems that.so simple a request as that students sign
for the books they borrow should involve infractions. We
do regret the passing of Nights In The Reserve Room, but

- this, we are told is “life”, and we hope that life will be calm-

er, simpler, richer for a speedy adoption of one official aid

to memory.
The Vital Victual
a
The Cupboard is Bare

“The ugliest word in the language is—victuals. You
can’t say it or write it. The best thing is to forget it.” So
says Harry Golden. But we have victuals on the mind, real,
palpable, above all tasty; which leads us to the point, that
Soda, Fountain is not functioning this year.

That this is true is the result of no culpable neglect on
the part of Undergrad, which took Soda Fountain over from
League last year as unfinished business in the development
of the Roost. Undergrad inherited the state of betwixt-and-
betweenness that Soda Fountain is in. The equipment it has
is in adequate and faulty, the provisions it can store and
serve are necessarily limited. The College, as part of the
scheme to turn that corner of Goodhart into something more

- akin to a student union, has offered good and extensive equip-

ment—a dishwashing machine, the necessaries for a real
grill. But such an outlay has several consequences: in order
for this expenditure to be justified, the Soda Fountain would
have to be open a good part of the day, for snacks and meals;
this in turn calls for competent management and a sizeable
waitress force. The manager would almost have to be pro-
fessional; there seems to be no money to hire anyone full-
time for this job. Moreover, where shall we find the wait-
resses? Most people with talents, interest, or impecunious

obl gation along this line may and do now wait at Denbigh or

the Deanery.

There are other technical difficulties, chief of which is
space. The room now housing Soda Fountain is scarcely
large enough for extensive facilities and an increased clien-
tele. Of other sites on or off campus, there seem to be few
or none, unless we erect a pavilion smack on Merion Green.
___ Now to the real question: do we want a snack-and-meal-
providing hangout on campus? Perhaps the Beau and Belle
and other homey and traditional eateries in the Ville, the

- College Inn, the Deanery, hall bookshops, and rush calls for

pizza suffice. If this is true, it seems unlikely that the impe-
tus needed to raise funds to hire an outside manager, to re-

Dr. Mohammed Bisar of the Is-

will lecture on Mohammedanism
on Thursday, December 11 at 8:30
in the Common Room. His lecture
will include a brief history of the
religion, as well as a discussion
of the principal beliefs. A period
for discussion and questions will
follow the lecture, which is spon-
sored by the Interfaith Associa-
tion.

Religious Groups’
Role On Campus

by Helen Ullrich

Several active off-campus religi-
ous groups are now working in co-
ordination with the Interfaith As-
sociation, These clubs include : the
Catholic Discussion Group, the
Student Christian Movement, and
Connections
with Jewish groups for social pur-
poses are being arranged.

These groups will be using col-
lege communications and facilities.
Anyone with interest is encouraged
to join the group in-+which she
professes interest, Watch the In-
terfaith bulletin board for news of
what these clubs are doing.

Catholic Discussion Group

The Catholic Discussion Group
consists of those girls interested in
learning more about Roman Cath-
olicism. This group has a Jesuit
priest from St. Joseph’s College,
Father Ehrhardt, to lecture and
lead these discussions. Lou McCrea
is the chairman with Becky Tin-
gle, secretary, and Janine Gilbert,
social chairman, assisting. This
club has no extra-campus affilia-
tions such as the Newman Club.
Meetings are held at 11:00 on Sun-
days at the Duffy’s home located
across from the Church of the Re-

deemer.

This semester the Trinity was
the topic for discussion. The
members of the Catholic Discus-
sion Group decided that meetings
should be held every Sunday dur-
ing the series (5 weeks) instead
of being held every fortnight. Fu-
ture plans involve a series on mor-
al theology with guest speakers.
The officers hope that Miss Logras-
so will speak on Dante and on St.
Francis. A question session is
also planned for non-Catholics and
Catholics: who wish to challenge
the basic tenets of the Church.

Kern Series Concludes With study
Of Twenties’ Rebellion, Its Cause

by Carolyn Kern

I would like to analyze what I
consider the real nature of the
revolution in attitudes experienc-
ed by the Bryn Mawr girl of the
1920’s. First of all, I am inter-
ested in a secondary hypothesis,
which I take in opposition to Fred-
erick Lewis Allen, who states that
the “revolt of the Younger gener-
ation initiated a revolution in man-
ners and morals which soon affect-
ed men and women of every age.”

I feel that a basic misconception,
and a very common one, is involv-
ed here. The generation in college
from 1918 to 1928 did not deal
the initial blows to the old ortho-
doxy. It was those Americans at
least over twenty when the war
began who suffered the serious dis-
illusionment withthe war’s out-
come and then began to attack the
social order around them.

At the opening of the year 1921-
1922, President Thomas observed,
“Freshmen I have talked to this
year impressed the as being very
much like Freshmen before the
war: They are too young to have
really felt the shock.” (College
News, 1921). The generation be-
tween 1918 and 1928 came to col-
lege and found that revolutionary
ideas were abroad. The people that
I talked to felt that they took this
life pretty much as they found it
and that their so-called revolt was
more a matter of principle due to
what they thought was expected of
them than a spontaneous. action
generated within their own ranks.

It is true that they were faced
with the problem of working out
the details of the new attitudes
and that they spent perhaps their
most formative years during the
1920’s period, but they did not in-
itiate a revolt themselves. This
was the work of those who actual-
ly went through the war.

Writing in the November, 1927
McCalls, Mrs. Manning specifical-
ly refuted the “charge of irrespon-
sibility and immorality being laid
at youth’s door”, and placed the
blame on the graduates of the
years from 1900 to 1910. Her im-
pression of the present undergrad-
uates was that “They are not try-
ing to work out a new philosophy
of life, nor to upset old creeds.
They find themselves in a restless,
changing world with most of the
old creeds questioned and many of
the old moral shibboleths under-
mined. Having more -energy to
expend than the rest of us, they
do tend to become more restless
and perhaps destructive than their
middle-aged parents, but the initi-
ative is not theirs.”

Looking back on the period, Mrs.
Manning still feels that instead of

actually rebelling, the young peo-
ple were merely asserting their
belief that complete freedom to
develop their own ideas and inter-
ests was the only way to achieve
a full life. They thought freedom
was a good thing, not because it
would allow them to throw away
their morals and run wild, but be-
cause it would allow them to sat-
isfy a tremendous drive toward
self-expression of every kind.

The girls themselves considered
their abandonment of “all the nice,
proper ideas with tags tied neatly-
to them,” not a bold new course
of action but part of the inevitable
process of growing up: “Twenty
‘years of inertia induced by relent-
les exposure to other people’s
ideas of moral certain results
in an explosion.
gumption of a jelly-fish can stand
it. With joy, pure and holy, the
tin gods of standpattism
smashed ... But pride can sustain
the ebbing tide of non-conformity
for only a few short years. Sur-
render comes the first time one
sneaks a copy of the Saturday
Evening Post upstairs to read in
bed. Twenty years more will find
one a firm believer in the Cham-
ber of Commerce and God.” (Col-
lege News, 1924). i.

These girls were not attempting
to destroy a moral or social order;
this had been done for them by
others. As they grew up they
found that there was no ready-
made pattern of values for them
to adopt, and so they were building
their own. They were particular-
ly concerned with freedom, in a
constructive sense, and their belief
in their ability to attain it is, I be-
lieve, the most exciting thing
about the 1920’s. Throughout all
of history, the thrust towards free-
dom and perfect self-expression
has completely consumed the in-
terest and desires of the ver» few
and thoroughly frightened and ali-
enated the great many. The for-
mer have very often been held back
by the latter and mankind con-

tinues to suffer immeasurably.
This situation is outlined by the
College News in an article sadly
commenting upon a_ publication,
which attacked the’ Liberal Club
as “destructionist,” in the follow-
ing manner: “Such a pamphlet
will make readers jgnorant of
the ideals and aspiration _of
the current youth movement—
perhaps the most encouraging
thing in the modern’ world.
To us its standards of truth and
service are lofty, and now they
will be viewed with fear and hat-
red as agents of those who seek
to destroy America.”

International Day

Includes Dishes
Of Eleven Lands

Three weeks ago the graduate
students hit upon the idea of hav-
ing an international dinner. . The
foreign students each would cook
one dish peculiar to her country.
Plans developed into “Internation-
al Day”, Sunday, Dec. 7.

“International Day focused on
“international meal”. Dishes
from eleven countries appeared on
this menu:

Soup: ™\

Turkish oup*
Main Dishes: ;

Indian Pilau
Chinese Chicken and chestnuts
Hungarian potato dish
Japanese savories
French mayonnaise
(served with lettuce)
Egyptian salad

Desserts:

English trifle
Canadian Apple Betty |

German cookies
Swedish gingerbread

Coffee:

American

Miss McBride accepted the grad-
uates’ invitation to the dinner.
Mrs, Diez, Foreign Student Ad-
visor, Miss Howe, Director of
Halls and Head Warden, and Miss
Bliss, Dean of the Graduate Stu-
dents, were also invited; because
the Graduate Center was unavail-
able, Mrs. Diez and Miss Howe let
the girls use the kitchens in their
own homes.

The highlight of the buffet sup-
per was St. Nicholas who gave
presents to the American girls
from the foreign girls in appreci-
ation of their kindnesses.

BMC Riders Try
Skill. At Jumping

by The Riding Club

Somehow it happened! In spite
of rain and postponement, absence
and injury to Riding Club mem-
bers, pneumonia of stable owner,
and other minor deterrents the
first effort of the NEW College
Riding Club was a success. Sun-
day, the 23 of November, there
was a Horse Show.

If you noticed the many posters,
announcements, and real live hors-
es on the campus perhaps you will
be interested in the results of the
show. The beginners class was won
by Sue Tracy. Peggy Kersey,
Polly Merrill, and Yvonne Chan
placed in that order after her.

Renata Adler added another tri-
umph to her career here by win-
ning the Intermediate class al-
though Gay Booth did an admir-
able job on a very difficult horse
and received second. Third and
fourth went to Jo Underwood and
Mina Hamilton.

Kate Evans, Angie Pell, Jackie
Mars and Cynthia Butterworth
masterfully upheld the Riding
Club by taking all four ribbons
in the Advanced class against
some stiff competition. Kate, An-
gie, and Jackie did it again in the
jumping class, which was open
only to Riding Club members, add-
ing (Margie McHenry to their
number.

Two gymkhana classes added a
bit of riot to the afternoon, The
first was “Radio-Grainsacks” (a
perversion of Musical Chairs
brought about by handy equip-
ment). Six contestants started,
and after many examples of how
not to lead a-horse, or simply bad
luck, Gay Booth and Kate Evans
were left, It was decided that the
contestants should race for the
last sack, and SAIGON, familiar
to many of us, upheld his years of
training by galloping to the sack
and stopping with both front feet



Miss Bradbrook Pictures Elizabeth

e of Language

Miss Bradbrook began by pic-
turing Elizabeth, a young woman
of 25 ascending the throne in 1558.
She was the image of sovereignty,
focussing the devotion of the peo-
ple on an individual.

By the ’70’s the image of the
queen had taken form in literature
through pageantry. In the ’80’s
and 90’s the lyric poets used her
flowering and the personal legend
of what she was.

If Elizabeth’s personality could
be rated, continued Miss Brad-
brook, she would get 20 for brains,
20 for courage and 0 for humility
and consistency—a perfect subject
for poets. Most poets wrote for
practical reward for their patrons.

Miss Bradbrook related how Eliz-
abeth. was entertained in her prog-
ress around the country by all va-
rities of ingenious. gallantries,
ranging from ape men springing
from the forest to sing her praises
in story to plays where she saw
herself portrayed as fairy queen
and noble lover. The dynamic re-

lationship between the ruler and .

her people was perfect for drama-
tic imagery.

Miss Bradbrook concluded by
reading examples from represen-
tative poets who sang of Eliza-
beth, and she enumerated various
of. the Queen’s qualities which
made her a natural subject for
literary treatment, Good Queen
Bess was a promoter of peace and
is so lauded in almost every song.
She inspired a spirit of courage
and invention. Some verses of
Chapman and the Earl of Essex
were read as examples. The queen
was a strong ruler and pictured as
invincible. She was protrayed as
the queen of shepherds to show
the domestic and familiar part of
her reign.

For Raleigh she was Cynthia,
goddess of the woods with special
power over nature. The speaker
read some of the most extrava-
gant of Raleigh’s verses used to
win her favor and some more sin-
cere ones written after her death.

Finally Elizabeth’s marriage to
England was reflected in such bal-
lads as “Come Over the Bourne,
Bessie” by Birch. A Yorkshire
ballad was read and a poem by
Sir Henry Lee, the Queen’s cham-
pion, written when he was forced
to give up his post. Miss Brad-
brook ended with a quote from
Elizabeth, “This I count. the glory
of my crown, that I have ruled

Last Wednesday the Bryn Mawr
basketball team started their year
on a joyous note by handing the
Waves from the Phila. Naval Base
a 59-27 set-back in a practice game
here. Since the varsity and j.v.
teams have not yet been selected
(the regular season only starts in
February), the team which played
the Waves had no particular sta-
tus, except that they comprised
about half the entire squad and
were mostly returnees from last
year’s varsity.

Bryn.Mawr made the first quick
basket and, in spite of fast playing
and good competition, was not in
trouble scorewise throughout the
game.. The 27-10 halftime score
showed that BMC had found the
necessary holes in the Navy de-
fense and that we controlled the
ball enough of the time to stay
ahead. This was true largely be-
cause our guards controlled the
Navy backboards and grabbed" an
an.
rebound chances offered at that
end.

The BMC forwards, too, fared



well. Their accuracy, especially

that of Moira MacVeagh, was im-

pressive for this stage in the sea- ,

son. Moira could hardly miss, hit-
ting for 20 points while missing
only once or twice. Sally Davis,
too, had a good night, pushing in
16 points from all over the court.
Barbara Reid contributed 10
points sinking 2 for 2 at the foul
line, continuing her reputation es-
tablished in that department last
year.

This was the first time Bryn
Mawr had tangled with the girls
from the Naval Base, and it prov-
ed to be a stimulating workout. It
was a chance to work as a team
against a team which is not the
other half of our own squad, as
practices must naturally be. As

ball squad, said before the game,
as
indeed it was especially for the

squad-members who were not play-
ing but observing from the side-~

lines, as they will play the same

did not have two teams, but would
be glad to come twice so that all
the BMC players could see some
action. -

down by the greater storm of cir-
cumstance. The deterioration of
the King’s character as the forms
of royalty, in which he has been
constraining his instability, fall

ing ill fortune, Mr. Knight dealt
with admirab’y; the contr.]1 seeme:’
(broadly) natural at first when
John is defending England and
has albeit precariously the up-
per hand, forced. by the time
of the Hubert scene, fading
fast ‘by the time he speaks the
stricken words ‘What, Mother
dead?’, gone, and the King in the
throes of self-pity and. death by

the last scene.
: Spirit Displayed

As the ascending star to the de-
scending one of the King; Donald
Knight as the Bastard Faulcon-
bridge displayed spirit and spon-
taneity the charm of which was
not lessened as the character as-
sumed responsibility, and serious
and more heroic proportions. Quick,
graceful, at ease on the stage, Mr.
Knight spoke clearly and well, em-
phasizing his words through ex-
cellent control of volume and tim-
ing (and gesture), and most wel-
come fact of all, he spoke his lines
‘trippingly on the tongue’—and put
so much. conviction into his role,
by the by, that.he got consider-
able laughter“for several Bliza-
bethan jokes at least one of which
I very much doubt the laughers
understood. Many critics would
have John much weaker than here
portrayed and the Bastard as king-
ly as Henry V; that the parts were
differently handled, however, I con-
sider quite fitting to the intent
and interests of the play in book
and on boards. Mr. Knight’s Bas-
tard assumed proper strength of
character, but he had learned it
under stress and too quickly for it
to build up around him the forms
of the regal, which seems excel-
eent consideration of consistency.

Constance ‘Difficult’

Jane Parry as Constance was
dealing with one of the most dif-
ficult and exciting roles Shakes-
peare has written for women
when the character is not almost
a shrew she is almost hysterical,
or almost driven senseless with
grief; this then makes her almos’
unsympathetic in character alone
+and for the actress portraying
her there is the additional danger.
of rising to a completely unsym-
pathetic tone of voice: scolding,
shrieking and emotionally driven
keening have none of them par-
ticular appeal to the ear. It is to
Miss Parry’s great credit that she
could subdue the difficulties to
emerge indeed appealing, to listen
to and to watch; attractive to the
audience and of their attention;
and this without playing the role
at all false. Her diction is wor-
’ thy of special praise. I must con-
fess I had hoped for a somewhat
higher pitch of emotion, especially
in her last scene of grief; she
might have taken off more than
she did upon the Elizabethan pun
of fondness (meaning madness as
well) of grief throughout her in-
terpretation of that scene, She
appeared to best advantage raging
against someone specific: Lymoges,
for instance, or Eleanor; she is
better with the extremes of scorn-

of constraint than unbounded pas-, conbridge was made highly amus-

The part of Arthur—supposedly ‘role of the Cardinal (Peter Gar-
Shakespeare’s only boy who can rett); it did of course suffer from

agreed with the handling of the|

development:
in her performance (perhaps be-
cause’ of its rarity in general) was
her adeptness at being a listener
on stage: her responses to the de-
scriptions of Blanche and the Dau-
phin were perfect little Prince, yet
subtle enough that she could not
be accused of stealing the scene,
which she of course was not sup-
posed to do, And her scene: with
Hubert displayed the boyish bra-
vado proper to keep it from its
none too reserved inclination to the
maudlin.
Other Roles Disucssed

Want of space prevents me from
elaborating as I would like to upon
che other parts, two of which how-
ever were handled in ways much
deserving of compliment; I speak
of Mimi Gisolfi’s interpretation of
Eleanor and Gerald Goodman’s of
Hubert. The former role is not
long and consisting chiefly as it

‘does of remarks of accord, better-

ed retorts, and insinuations, re-
quires an actress with a good sense
of audience (which is less obvious,
or more necessary, than it may
sound) to put it across. Miss
Gisolfi has this, and did; and she
too knows how to listen on stage,
and her seeming uncheckable

‘smiles of amusement at the Bas-

tard’s wit were a fine note indeed.
The role of Hubert could I think
easily be made insipid and dull;
Mr, Goodman however took what
-haracter it implied and built upon
, to give it a truly uncommon
ceality, a sensitivity to feeling
and mystery; his Hubert, besides
being perfectly appropriate for
the play, emerged as well as the
sort of Elizabethan I like to think
of as the ordinary Londoner fre-
quently in the pit at the Globe,
understanding and responding to
Shakespeare’s plays.
Lymoges ‘Enjoyable’

Among the smaller roles,—the
gusto and bellowing of Lymoges
was fully enjoyable for its own
and. for contrast’s sake; the dis-
creet and measured speaking of
the citizen of Angiers was well-
handled for itself and again a re-
lief still believably powerful
enough to calm the wrath of kings
on the way to battle; the dull
speech of the dullard Robert Faul-

possibilities for character develop-

feel was properly borne out, King
Philip (Howie Helsinger), further-
more, while he possesses a strong
and resonant voice, did not avoid
the pitfalls of overly slow speaking
and more apparent attention to
metre than meaning. Both inter-
pretations doubtless--were the re-
sult of an attempt to gain variety
of speaking, of tonal quality, in

with their harmonies fill up the
former gaps to build a chromatic
scale. Mr. Smith concluded by il-
lustrating the various possibilities
of «his instrument: .a trombone
sneer, .a.loud- brassy passage, and
even great delicacy and agility.
Mr. Jones, the French horn play-
er, first played. various excerpts
illustrating the range of expres-
sion of his instrument. He played
softly, loudly, in the high register,
in the low register, and singing

‘passages, ‘He also pointed out the

different effects achieved by the
use of his hand in the bell of the
instrument: a wa-wa effect (just
what it sounds like), an echo ef-
fect, and the sound produced with



a conical mute in “the bell.
The French horn would be six-
teen feet if unwound, and the fact

that its tube “flares all the way’

Its four and a half feet of tubing
are one-third e¢onical and two-
thirds cylindrical, The valves. of
the trumpet, as those of the French
horn and. tuba, serve the same
function as the. trombone slide.
Each valve, when depressed, opens
a new length of tubing.. The fun-
damental tone of the trumpet is
exactly an octave higher than that
of the trombone. “The cornet is



wound up a little more and short-
er,” otherwise there is no differ-

thin, piercing brassy quality to

‘Because of its close relation to

instruments is its fourth Valve.
The other brases only have three.
It can play “a lot lower than any
other instrument,” its lowest note
being a low D, Mr. Torchinsky,
with false fingering, managed to
reach several tones lower, where
“you can almost count the vibra-
tions.’ There are about six dif-
ferent tubas in the tuba family,
which means that some tuba parts
include very high notes. The tuba
is equipped with slides, which the
player adjusts to correct intona-
tion. This bad intonation is due
to the size of the instrument.

The tuba came into its glory as
an instrument, Mr. Torchinsky
said, with “Tubby the Tuba”. “It
was our salvation, so to speak’,
a rescue from being the eternal
sluggards of the orchestra.

The Ensemble closed the Work-
shop with another trumpet tune

ADORABLE





Dear Anxious ...

Of course you may have a Christ-
mas party when you get home...
even I would love to see some of
your old friends again. Did I hear
you groan? Daddy and I will hide
in the den with the Van Cliburn
album you gave him (and I see
through that but won't tell). What
well-trained parents are we!

Yes, I’ll arrange everything—but
Jimmy wants to decorate the tree
all by himself, and Kathy insists
we have gifts for all, now that she’s
learning gift-wrapping at school.

Speaking of gifts, I’m sure you'll
approve our decision; we couldn't
resist them ourselves! For the
boys, daddy selected a handsome
Fabergé “Shave Kit” (won't they
be pleased with something so ut-
terly masculine?) ... and for the

_ girls, the most. adorable set!

It’s a brand-new and absolutely

“enchanting “Nail Glacé Kit” by

your beloved Juliette Marglen ...
it holds six travel-size bottles (isn’t
that: an inspiration?) of luscious
fingertip colours — plus the most
- marvelous idea of all — Gélatine
Glacé Remover, in a tube! Hon-
estly, it’s the most, to borrow a
phrase from you know who.

The sets are 3.75 each, and daddy
Says it’s his treat (can you imagine
him shopping in a Perfume Depart-
ment? I could hardly drag him
away). If you think this is overly-
generous (J certainly do), just re-
member that it’s practically pea-
nuts compared to your skiing trip
last year—what with travel, hotel,
clothes, long distance calls, and
that broken leg. Besides, we’ll have
you home, and that, I confess, is
worth a fortune to us.

Here come the kids, so love and

Chorus Concert
Continued from Page 1; Ccl. 4
with
twined melodic lines for a smaller
group.

The “Kyrie” from Vaughan Wil-.
liams’ “Mass in G Minor” is being
sung by the ‘small.groups. from
both choruses. The altos intone the
Kyrie theme in a low dark range,
after which it works up through
fugal entrances’ to a series of
climaxes. There is a passage for
soli in ‘the middle, which will be
sung by ,a quartet of soloists from
the choruses.

The Haverford Chorus alone is
singing two early English Christ-
mas carols: “The Cherry Tree
Carol” and “The Mummers’ Carol,”
both in arrangements by Vaughan
Williams. They will also sing
“Adoramus Te, Christe,” by Vin-

inter-

cenzo Ruffo, an early Italian com--

poser.

The program will be repeated on
Monday evening in Roberts Hall,
Haverford.

nothing for Gay to do but continue.

Frank Wolcott deserves a word
of praise for conducting Red Light
—he stood bravely calling num-
bers loud and clear with horses
charging at him from all direc-
tions until finally Elizabeth Bard
managed almost to trample him.
Dr. Paxson did a wonderful job
as judge. We would like to thank
him for hig calm and philosophic
attitude and unending patience.
We hope that the Spring Show
which will be more ambitious will
be as successful.



Chapel Play

I think his presence in the play
ivas a mistake. Without any tran-

ition or preparation; it brought
a fat, sleepy representative of

reality into an idealized pastoral

scene, and turned a religious drama
into: something resembling ~ the
limax of Freshman Show. It’s: all
véry well to try to capture medie-
val “naivete”, but I doubt that the
performers of the Middle Ages
ever intended God to address Abra-
“am through the rumblings and
bangs of an unhappy animal fall-
ing downstairs.

Campus (Committee, S.C.M. has
speakers,. conferences, and study
grotfps. Meetings are held Sunday
afternoons in the Converse House
of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian
Church. Haverford participates in
this jointly with Bryn Mawr.

S.C:M. offers several study



groups. The subjects range from
Christian ethics and Bible study
to modern literature. The group
plans a conference for the week-
end of February 21 to which any-
one interested is urged to come.

Young Friends

The Young Friends group is sup-
ported by Haverford Meeting. This.
group, consists: of Bryn ‘Mawr. and.
Haverford students. Mary Mas-:
land is the Bryn Mawr represen-’
tative. Meetings average about’
once a month, alternating social
events and discussions. There is
no set time for meeting because
no suitable time has been found
for all. So far this year the
Young Friends have sponsored a
Square dance and a_ speaker,
George Willoughby, from the crew
of the Golden Rule.

Dee Rosenberg has been making
contacts with the Hillel and Young
Zionist groups in this area. The
purpose of such contacts is to en-
able Jewish girls to participate
in the activities, particularly soc-
ial, of these groups, not to: start
