“Hyacinth Halvey” Praised!
As Humerous, Unified
Production



By April Oursler, ’46

Goodhart, November 5 and 6:
Merion Hall’s production of Hya-
cinth Halvey, by Lady Gregory,
brought the Freshman play plaque
to Merion for the second consecu-
tive year. According to the com-
mittee, this play combined the
best qualities of characterization,
humor, and unification, although
Pembroke West’s The Six Who
Pass While the Lentils Boil won
the approval of the majority of
the audience.

The outstanding characterization
in Hyacinth: Halvey was the title
role, played by. Mary Helen Bax-
rett, who presented a more mascu-
line suggestion in the portrayal
of the country gawk than did the
male roles of the other plays. The
gestures and the walk of Marcia
Taff as the old-maid housekeeper
were particularly convincing, while
all the cast gave their parts a
feeling of extreme naturalness. On
the whole, the play was exception-
ally well-finished and unified, with
the details worked out thought-
fully and without exaggeration.

In contrast to the more polished
humor of this play, Pembroke
West’s. The Six ‘Who Pass While
the Lentils = had a brilliance

Of Anti-Nazi Norway
~ As Shown by Children

Common Room, November 15

Under the heel of the conqueror,
life for the children of Norway has
radically changed, said Mrs. Aase
Skard, speaking to a group of
students about conditions today in
her'country. Mrs. Skard, a noted
psychologist, is the daughter of
a former Norwegian foreign min-
ister.

Three Factors

There are three primary factors
which have affected the children:

vation, but that ever-present feel-
ing of hunger; and second, inse-
curity. The children never know
when they may come home from
school to find that their father has
been carried off to a concentration
camp, or their house has been req-
uisitioned by the Nazis. But to
counterbalance these forces there
is present quite a different ele-
ment—a new feeling of security.
is now
united,” Norwegians refuse to ‘be
scared. Ninety-nine percent of
the people are anti-Nazi, and they
all join in passive resistance, in-
eluding the smallest children.

Nazi Efforts

Naturally, the Nazis are doing
their best to win over the coming
generation, said Mrs. Skard, so
that “even if they“lose the war,
they will win anyway.” But their
efforts have been singularly inef-
fective, and have indeed worked in
the opposite direction. For in-
stance, the Nazis will specify cer-
tain days on which all school

children must visit the’ Hitler
youth exhibits. The children then
simply do not go to school on those

value, falling down only in its lack
of a uniform standard of perform-
ance. Elizabeth Dowling’s role as
the Ballad Singer was a master-
piece of good showmanship, com-
bining a feeling for the spirit of
the play and for the audience, with
excellent gestures and timing. The
part of Sir Little Boy, played by
Barbara Ruhin was carried
through with charm in spite of
being slightly uncertain about the
lines. Redda Taylor, replete with
a Lil’ Abner accent, played The

Mr. Gillet Discusses
Good Neighbor Policy



Spanish House, November 4:
The United States with its mater-
ialism will find a complement in
the aesthetic spirit of South Amer-
ica, said Mr. Gillet in an informal
talk-to-the- Spanish Club on-Thurs-
day. Discussing the Good Neigh-
bor Policy, he pointed out that
though the method of union is dif-
ficult, we both have much to gain
by collaboration.

The Good Neighbor Policy, Mr.
Gillet emphasized, is not yet com-
plete. Gradually changing our at-
titude from one of active interven-
tion in Cuba, Santa Domingo, and
Nicaragua, we have repealed the
Platt Amendment and have achiev-
ed a collaboration of intellectuals.
The political results of the last
two or three years have been good,
but, said Mr. Gillet, after the Eu-
ropean peril is over, there will be
some dissension in South America.

and of South America, Mr. Gillet

Strength and Unity
Displayed in Concert
By von Trapp Family



Specially Contributed by
Sue Coleman, °45

Goodhart, November 9: To the
von Trapp family, the performance
in Goodhart was* “more than a
concert”; it marked the anniver-
sary of their first appearance in
this country when they arrived
four years ago from their “native
mountainous Austria.”

To the listeners, their perform-
ance was infinitely more than a
concert. The Baroness Maria von
Trapp’s sincere, heart - rending
words before the closing “Love
Song” from the Herbrides Islands
expressed the meaning of music,
life and human relationships which
imbued every sound they imparted
to a_ spellbound audience. The
Baroness expressed it so well pri-
marily because she spoke for a

Racial Discrimination
Condemned by I. R.C.

Common Room, November 3:
“Race is largely a matter of atti-
tude,” said Masamori Kojima of
Haverford, opening the Interna-
tional Relations Club discussion of

racial minorities in the United
States.
Masamori pointed out that

Americans consider certain racial
groups inferior merely because
they have been raised to hold such
a belief. There is discrimination
here against a group such as the
Negroes, while in anpther country
con-
sciously drawn against them,

National Policy
“We should make it a national
policy that there shall be no rac-
ial discrimination,” stated Masa-
mori. There should be a Congress-
ional report, he continued, mak-



Opportunity Knocks

The Honorable Walter Judd
of Minnesota, who is considered
one of the most outstanding
speakers of the country, will
speak at a luncheon to be held
by the United Nations Council
of Philadelphia at 1:30 Satur-
day, November 20 in the ball-
room of the Bellevue-Stratford
Hotel.

Mr. Judd’s topic will be
“China and Our Attitude to-
ward China.” The speaker will
be introduced by Earl Harrison
of Philadelphia. The Council
has reserved the entire balcony
of the ballroom for students,
and free tickets are available.
Students desiring tickets should
leave their ‘names on the door
of Miss Robbins’ office.







Moderation Pattern
In Culture of China
Emphasized by Chan



Goodhart, November 3: The
Chinese attitude toward life has
always been one of moderation
stressed Wing-Tsit Chan in a lec-
ture on “China’s Place Between
the East and West,” the last of
his series on the “Spirit of Man in
Chinese Culture.” To the clear-
cut either-or policy of other coun-
tries China has always opposed
its more sagacious policy of both-
and,

The pattern of moderation, he
continued, has never ceased _ to
dominate Chinese culture. :China
stands between the West “and
what the West thinks of as the
East.” The West thinks of the
East as being all one piece, Ac-
tually it is not. It can be divided
into, India and the Far East; and
the Far East, in turn, can be di-
vided into China and Japan. There
is no system, excepting Buddhism,
that cuts across the East as a
whole. But Buddhism, Mr. Chan
stated, should not be considered



ing an official national policy of
non-discrimination. Masamor
also advocates a Federal law out-
lawing the Jim Crow car.

Leila Jackson of Bryn Mawr,
the next speaker, discussed prob-
lems facing the Negro _ soldier.
The Army has sent Negro college
graduates from northern. cities
like Detroit and Chicago into
southern areas where they are
forced into crowded Jim Crow ten-
ement sections. This is hard to
reconcile, Leila pointed out, with

Significant Rise
In Summer Jobs

Indicated by Poll

Work in Factories, Farming
Shows Great Increase
Over 1942

In the recent poll held by the
Vocational Office to determine the
type and extent of summer jobs
held by undergraduates last sum-
mer, it was significant that 343
out of the 391 polled held some job
with the Freshmen registering the
unrivalled total of 134. 218 of
these workers held full-time jobs
as opposed to 80 part-time -work-
ers, 118 students, and 52 occasion-
al volunteers.

In comparison with last year’s
results, there were twice as many
students doing factory work in the
summer of 743, and a similar in-
crease in those engaged in farm-
ing. Clerical work, always the
most popular, showed little in-
crease, while seven more people
attended summer school this year
than last.

Among the more interesting of
the summer jobs were Patricia
Kyle’s newspaper column, Advice
to the Lovelorn, and Barbara
Baer’s experimentation in Interna-
tional Living project. Others in-
cluded the college advisor at Bon-
wit Teller, an advertising copy
writer in Providence, and an in-
spector of recording and controll-
ing instruments in a Waterbury
factory, as well as a worker on
soldering and ‘sub - assembly in
Milwaukee.

Last summer’s laboratory work-
ers showed an increase of 14 over
the previous 18, and included
workers in the blood plasma de-
partment of a Chicago laboratory,
a lab technician in the pathology
department of the New York In-
firmary for Women and Children,
as well as many chémical labora-
tory assistants.







Study Without Books, Singing and Monologues
Help Make Versatile Italian Classes Lively



“Eeco la signora Lograsso” is
the phrase that sets the Italian
class under way each morning.
This “ecco” is accompanied by a
wide dramatic gesture out of Tay-
lor window, for Miss Lograsso
maintains that gestures are nec-
essary to make words more em-
phatic. “It makes our Italian look
more like the real thing” supple-
mented one member. A few min-
utes later the class of six repeats
“Sono una_ studentessa a Bryn
Mawr,” and runs through a morn-
ing’s activities beginning with “I
wake up when the alarm clock
sounds. I do not get up because
I am always tired, etc.”

This daily Italian class has made
startling progress. Having studied
for a month without books, it is
completely at home with the spok-)
en word. Extra-class “dialogo’’
are overheard which verge on
lengthy conversations. “Ecco il
uomo” one begins, and they’re off.
In every class'a prepared “mono-
logo” or “dialogo” is given. These
are built around practical or dra-
matic situations such as being lost
in Rome or chancing to see “il re
Vittorio Emmanuele” in a restau-
rant.

This versatile Italian class also

which may be recognized as “Frere









sings . . . namely “Fra Martino”

dong” changed to “din, dan, don.”
Even grammar is occasionally il-
lustrated with excerpts from op-
era.

The class’s activities merely be-
gin in Taylor. It plans to visit a
famous Italian costume display in
Germantown and make a tour of
the Italian restaurants. It has al-
ready had a successful beer party
with Miss Lograsso’s Haverford
students. These soldiers are tak-
ing their course preparatory to
work with the Allied Military Gov-
ernment in Italy.

Although there are only six in
this course of elementary Italian,
they are not difficult to locate.
They are always ready to break
into their adopted tongue, whether
on Taylor steps, at the Inn, or the
village shops. These students are
enthusiastic, one going so far as
to add “ino” to her name tempor-
arily.

Faculty Opinion
Students on campus take a great interest not only in
what the faculty as a whole, but also in what members of
the faculty as individuals think. Possible faculty opinions
on all affairs of current interest, whether national or local,

_are often the subject.of discussion among undergraduates.

Often ideas are attached to different professors and asser-
‘tions made concerning them. Frequently these ideas are not
only falsely claimed for the professor in question, but also

_ misrepresented.

Any verification or rectification of faculty opinion would

ulty are in any way willing to respond to the students’ in-
terest. Certain members of the faculty have lent themselves
wholeheartedly to the demands of Current Events and Alli-

Clearer, and less limited contact with the ideas of a larger

number of professors.

Common Room, November 9.

The repercussions of the Mos-
cow agreement, particularly in the
U. S. Senate, were the subject of
Mrs. Cameron’s current events lec-
ture.

Noting the unusual number of
historical annivérsaries celebrated
last week, in conjunction with the
effects of the Moscow Conference
on various nations, Mrs. Cameron
mentioned the resulting actions of
the Soviet Union, Germany,
France, and the United States.

Stalin, speaking on the twenty-
sixth anniversary of the Russian
Revolution, indicated that the
agreement has raised hopes of a
military victory in the near future.
His attitude toward the Western
powers, Mrs. Cameron said, show-
ed marked change, for in place of
the usual plea for the Second
Front there was a tribute to the
shattering effect of air power on
German industry. He. also recog-

Russia, the Ukraine, Bessarabia,

feels that the United Nations must

Hemingway Explains
Vogue Prix de Paris



Deanery, November 8. Magy
Moon Hemingway, Bryn Mawr
1940, one time first prize winner
of Vogue’s.Prix de Paris explained
the annual contest to Bryn Mawr
Seniors in a talk sponsored by the
Bureau of Recommendations.

The Prix de Paris has been con-
ducted by Vogue Magazine nation-
ally for the past eight years. It
consists this year of submitting a
series of four quizzes and one 1000
word article. Each quiz will con-
sist of two questions, one based
on a fashion feature and one on a
non-fashion feature—music, liter-
ature, art or the theatre. The first
prize is a year’s job on Vogue’s
staff and the second prize is six
months on the magazine. Such a
job promises a 5-day week, begin-
ning at $30 a week. Ten awards
of merit will provide job oppor-
tunities on all four Conde Nast
House and
Garden, Vogue Pattern Book and
Glamour, or jobs with stores and
advertising agencies.

Mrs. Hemingway advised exper-
ience in writing for publication,
but stated that English and jour-
nalism were not necessary for an
entrant. While reading of Vogue
issues is helpful, imitation of
Vogue style is unnecessary. This
year the contest has been limited
to one half the time it has taken
in previous years. Mrs. Heming-
way estimates that entrance in the
contest would involve a minimum
of two week-end’s work on crea-
tive writing.

The entries will be graded on
clear and individual writing, gen-
eral and .current information,
awareness and fashion knowledge.
Quizzes can.be found in the var-
ious issues of Vogue and will be
based on specific preceding issues.



that he would not “lose his nerve.”
The Munich press on the next day
went so war as to admit that the
German military position was
relatively the same now as in No-
vember,1918, but asserted that
this time there will be no revolt
from within.

French politicians, Mrs. Cam-
eron pointed out, were angered at
their exclusion from the Confer-
ence, and refused to respect any
declaration in which the European
continent is not-represented. “This
exclusion,” -said- Mrs. Cameron, “is
the most depressing aspect of the
conference.”

The chief effect on American
politics was the apparent disap-
pearance of “isolationism.” Almost
unanimously the Senate passed
the Connally bill incorporating
point four of the agreement;
opposed sabotaging amendments
of the agreement itself. ‘Mrs.
Cameron hoped for the ‘permanent



banishment of such “dsolationism.”






War Conditions Alter
Fall Issue of Lantern



The first issue of the Lantern,
the college literary magazine, will
appear soon after Thanksgiving,
reports Helena Hersey, editor. Due
to war time conditions, and the
failure of the cigarette companies
to advertise, the Lantern will be
mimeographed this year. Three
issues will be published at a cost
of $1.00 or less.

Besides contributions from the
students, linoleum blocks and cuts
will be used, and it is hoped that
the cover can be printed. Plans
are being made to permit Haver-
ford to. contribute, since they will
be unable to have their own mag-
azine. The cutting of the sten-
cils for mimeographing will be a
paid campus job.

sustained interest in the action. It
was the excellence of these char-
acters, and in particular of Sir
Little Boy, that overshadowed the
more minor ones sufficiently to
diminish the disjointed effect of
the whole.

The Rhoads Freshmen, present-
ing Ways and Means, by Noel
Coward, were handicapped by the
necessity of cutting such a long
play, and by a consequent lack of
central unity. In spite of this, the
play as a whole was an example
of good direction and staging.
Mary Schaeffer, as Stella, the
wife, rendered her lines with the
sophistication and poise necessary
to the role, carrying the length of
the part and the inadequacy of
the cutting quite successfully. The
gestures of Toby, the husband,
played by Martha Gross, were con-
stantly amusing, but in general
she interpreted her role more as a
caricature than a true portrayal.

Although the choice of the
Rockefeller play, New School for
Wives, by Kirkpatrick, was a good
one for the amount of time given
to Freshmen plays, it failed. to
achieve the necessary atmosphere.
Except in the case of Harriet, “the
studious type,” played by Julie
Chittenden and the athletic Rob-
erta, played by Joan Campbell, the
acting .was unconvincing. The
languid Cecile, played by Mary
Sherman, though effective, lost
interest in her part between
speeches; while John, the father,

gave too young and too feminine
an impression both in gesture and
voice. Except in the scerte between
Ellen, Norma Ulian, and Warren
Price, played by Ann __ Dudley,
there was no rapport between
characters. Price was by far the
best part acted, done with liveli- -
ness and enthusiasm. The maid,
Catherine Clark, attracted atten-
tion for the excellent presentation
of her small role.

The staging of Denbigh’s A
Night at an Inn, by Lord Dunsany, |
was the chief factor in achieving
the effective atmosphere on which
the play rested. The acting, han-
dicapped by the problem of an all-
male cast, was not particularly
distinguished, and slowed down
the-pace_of the play.._The attack
scenes were especially realistie
and the atmosphere was well-es-
tablished by all the characters.

The difficulties of amateur pro-
duction in a play with as little ac-
tion as Radnor’s The Lost Silk
Hat, were apparent in its slow
movement, but the play was well-
finished, if not unified. Barbara
Stix, as the Laborer, played the
part to its utmost. value, making
good use of ejaculation and ~ges-
ture, but the other parts, though

,| adequately taken, were lacking in

inspiration and individuality. The
off-stage singing was effective,
but the performance as a whole
failed to hold pa audience’s at-
tention.

In Pembroke East's The Man in
the Bowler Hat, by A. A. Milne,
the characters were well - typed,
though again tending to be over-
caricatured. The play was amus-
ing but the scenes between the
Chief Villain, Alison Barbour, and
the Hero, Mimi Foster were not
particularly convincing. It was
hard to believe the actors were
living their parts. At times how-
ever, John, Doreen Hurwitz,
reached the absent-minded sense
of melodrama required of the part,
and the Hero showed a good feel-
ing for the necessary underacting
and humor of the role.

group, and the third, a miscellan-
eous- group of folk and _ lyrical
songs.

In .the “Children’s Blessing,” a
fourteenth century poem arranged
at the time of their little boy
Johannes’s birth by their combined
Catholic priest, conductor, and
baritone, Dr. Wasner, they achiev-
ed a high peak in balance of parts
and blend of tone. It was true of
every piece that one voice was out-
standing, yet each was infallibly
true, particularly as regards sense
of pitch.

The setting, as well as the ac-
tual sounds that emanated in the
second part, cast a unique story-
book spell, as recordérs, and basso
continuo. became a vital part of
the ensemble. During the “L’Oeil-
let Sonata,” one experienced more
than the fascinating, sensitive nu-
ances of the music; there was an
irresistible feeling of family rela-
tionship elevated to a high, spirit-
ual level. The colorfully-dressed
family seated around the players
seemed as much of the music as
the soloists themselves.

In the “Yodel Song” and “The
Old Woman and the Peddler,’
there were humorous touches as
‘well as consistent .technical per-
fection.

The words with which the Bar-
oness described their “American
Friends” — “open-hearted, broad-
minded and friendly’—are appli-
cable to the spirit of their sing-
ing. The warmth, depth, serenity
and solidity which pervaded the
“Londonderry Air’ and “The Eve-
ning Prayer” were less a result of
conscious effort than an overflow-
ing of realistic, vital experience.
The Baroness said, “The country
is as strong as its family life.”
The strength of the music of the
von Trapps is certainly derived
largely from: the strength of the
bond between each member, from
the Baron who “refused to sing
without little Johannes” down to
“the little man of the ‘farm” in
Vermont himself.

Ursinus Beats Owls
In Opening Game, 3-0

Bryn Mawr, November 6, Play-
ing their first game of the season,
Bryn Mawr’s varsity hockey team
was unable to score against a su-
perior’ Ursinus eleven. The Red
and Blue team took the lead early
in the game and the Owls were
never able to close the gap.

Ursinus’ 3-0 victory -was won
without much difficulty. Close team
play and clever stickwork tipped
the scales in Ursinus’ favor. The
Bears’ right wing, Ludwick, played
a consistently fast game. Speed-
ing with the ball and approaching
the Bryn Mawr goal, she passed
to Mathieu who on three succeed-
ing plays, shot the ball in for tal-
lies.
Bryn Mawr’s defense was weak.
It could not withstand . Ursinus’
repeated attacks which each time
surged down the field. Nor could
the Owl forwards get to Ursinus’
goal and, except for one scoring
threat in the second half, -the
Bears controlled the ball most of
thé time.

The second team, however, out-
played Ursinus’ J.V.’s 2-1. Both
Bryn Mawr goals were scored in
the first half and, although Ur-
sinus threatened up to the closing





minutes, Bryn Mawr held the lead.

as a unifying factor since it has
taken such different forms in each
country.

In examining China’s position
between the East and West, three
questions must be preeminently
considered: the role of the individ-
ual, the relative roles of intuition
and reason, and those of material-
ism. In China, cultivation of the
individual; contrary to Western
notion, is encouraged. But the in-
dividual is not the basis of the so-
cial order. The basic unit is the
family. Thus China differs, both
from India, where the caste is the
prime unit, and from the West
where the individual comes first.

The question of the individual
extends from the problem of im-
mortality. In India, the individual
is temporary and, after death, re-
turns to Brahmin; in the West, the
individual is immortal. In China
sae results from the inter-
action of the family and the uni-
versal principle. These two forces
continue after death, and har-
mony continues in the proportion
that each life has been exceptional
or exemplary.

In considering the roles of intui-
tion and reason, Dr; Chan examin-
ed the Chinese view that ‘reason
has intuition. Reasoning alone, he
pointed out, will not give the truth
but needs the aid of friendship

raised to result perhaps in the
closing of the schools for a week.
The children stage demonstrations
and parades; inevitably some are
arrested, and the others go clam-
oring after them, shouting that
they want to be arrested ‘too.

This, stated Mrs. Skard, is all
part of the new role which the
Norwegian children are playing.

adults alone, for the entire popu-
