HENRY, JR. A FEWY QUALIFICATIONS In an adjoining column is a com- munication from Prof. Felix W. Paw- lowski, of the Engineering depart- ment., which contains a number of statements needing qualifications. In his paragraph 6, Professor Paw- lowski finds three reasons why a con- vention of students, gathered in War- saw, Poland, last summer do not want American help: (a) it is against the sense of dignity and national pride of the students to beg in foreign countries; (b) it is the duty of the respective governments to take care of their own needy students; and, (c) inasmuch as most of the so collected money goes to Germany and to Rus- sia, "suspicion arises as to some par- tialism or favoritism to say the least." With regard to Professor Pawlow-I ski's reason (a), it need only be said that Poland managed to swallow her nationial pride during the last several years to the extent of receiving for her own rtudents several hundred thousand dollars from the Friendship Fund. Concerning (b), the fact re- mains that when the Polish students were in distress, the Polish govern- ment failed to help them. And with regard to (c), Professor Pawlowski is apparently unaware that for every dollar of money solicited in the United State by the Friendship Fund and spent in Germany, three dollars of its money has been spent in Poland- which hardly point to a pro-German bias.- In his paragraph 7, Professor Paw- lowski rays that there are Russan; refugee students all over Europe who are in a pitiable condition; but he has erroneously stated that these students, receive little help from the Frieno- ship Fund. As a matter of fact, the1 Frendship Fund organization is con- ducting work among the Russian refugees today in every European state, is doing loan work in a numbert of South' American republics where{ Russian students have emigrated, andl has even sent help to a group of them who fled to an island in the South I Seas, and who are now destitute.c W TA'IED:-A LEADER t The account of a memorial servicef held in New York Cjty Sunday in hon-; or of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the "Father" 1 of the 'hinese republic, and attended I by more than a thousand persons of I every race. creed and color, calls1 Now, where there is so much dis- vided.

'There was the same comedy relief, if such it may e I called, rather strenuously supplied by Teddy Webb, whose hilarity was based chiefly on a side view of his stomach and the pronunciation of the word "suspicious." At times he was funny, but the times were not too frequent. Schubert was adequately played and sung by Hollis Davenny and Patrick Kelly did well with the part of Baron Franz Schobert, strange as that my sound. The three cronies, Vogel, Ku- pelweiser, and Von Schwind, spend the evening singing and slapping each other upon the back. They did both quite well. Gertrude Lang's Mitzi was appealing. She decidedly has a voice. The remainder of the cast was also far above the average road company standard. The plot of the piece, which so the program says, was taken from the life of Schubert, was a rather wierd mix- ture of fact and fancy. The authors started off headed straight for the tragic end of lost love because a shy lover was afraid to tell the girl of his passion. So he asked a friend to sing it to her for him and she fell for the friend. But toward the middle of the third act the box office began to weigh. upon the conscience of the writers. So they decided to compromise. The result was that while Schubert sat dying of a broken heart in the middle of the stage, the surrounding ensem- ble tore off a scintallating finale, full of the proverbial pep. Somehow it didn't seem at all right. The compositions of a famous mn- sician. made a worthwhile evening out of what might have been a very dull one. To quote a noted humorist, for those who like that sort of thing, it's the sort of thing they like. *: * * THE STUDENTS' RECITAL The following program to which the public is invited will be given by stu- dents of the University School of Mu- sic tomorrow evening at eight o'clock in the Recital hall.

There is a platitude that runs in this wise: "Why should we take it upon ourselves to try and reform oth- ers, when we need redemption our- selves? When most of us, after all, are only too human . . ." But it is a dramatic, effective dogma, and two plays during the last month hav bluntly dealt with its truth, even if with different virtues. Both took for their theme the ex- periment of a minister, 'and both painted ministers as grossly human creatures. That, however, is as far as one can carry the comparison. Wheres "Simon Called Peter" is a sensual melodrama appealing to the obvious tastes of the gallery-and the stalls-"Rain" is a poignant, moving drama. It presents a problem--now blatant- ly known through a myriad of criti- cisms-and treats it from both a psychological and philosophical point of view. A party of four missionaries are stranded on a heathen island in the South Seas called Pago-Pago. They are forced to take their meals at the only inn in the village kept byI a white man, originally from America. and his native wife. A girl, obvious- ly of the streets, is also stranded with them, and while they are there the minister takes it upon himself to re- form the girl. From a brave, vivid creature she is changed ito a scared broken woman. Conversely, as soon as he has apparently moulded her into a "reformed character," he shat- ters all her ideals by proving to be a cad himself . . . "And I thought the joke was on me!" is the girl's final' line. The production in its 'entirety was! excellent. The scenic effect, especial- ly, of the stiffling rainy season on a tropical island was so realistic than even the audience felt the oppression. The acting of Miriam Cordell in the leading role, Fritz Williams as the physician, and Rapley Holmes as the U BOTH ENDS OF THE DIAGONAL R . ..

A WALK -III.-I all over the world assembled in War- saw was in substance that the sti- dents' organizations should not ask financial aid of foreign countries, andj particularly of the rather over-ex- ploited territory of America, and the following reasons were given in sup- port of this contention: (a) It is against the sense of dignity and na- tional pride of the students to beg in foreign countries for money to help their needy fellows; (b) It is the duty of the respective countries or their governments to take care of their own needy students or citizens in general and that the students organizations in various countries should work in this direction; (c) Inasmuinch as most of the so collected money goes to Cer- many and to Russia, suspicionI arises as to some paritalismn or favoritism to say the least. 7. The most, if not the only, needy l students in Europe at the present time are the Russian refugee students, spread all over Europe (and I ]wr- sonally quite agree with this o pinion) as they, being in foreign lands and not having the hacking of their own country or society, are in m uch worse position than any other students in the world. Neverthel ers, as I under- stand, they share very little of the yI Student Friendship Fund. About aG year ago, Professor lomshakoff of the Engineering School in Prague, Czechoslovalka. a Russian refugee himself, was in this country on busu- ness for the Skoda works in lilsn. Being also the president of the Fed- eration of the Russian Refugee Organ- izations of students and professors, he tried to collect funds in this country' for his needy countrymen outside Rus- sia; he visited also our campus, but strangely his attenipt was entirely ummi- successful. I did not intend to interfere with the Fund Movement on the campus, as I c. siit ... (thU zLams irUJIL hmere LinU jnot, grows unsavory, indiscreet in print. At last the Marquis, poisoned with a brooding hatred of his guests, kills the husband; the party flees the castle and henry, now a hopeless imbecile, gathers his stupid servants about him I to continue his awful masquerade. hRussel Collins as the nerve-wrecked Henry gave a portrait more unre- strained than Arnold Korpf but often more vivid and dramatic. Technically at. least, the performance was admir- able: diction, gesture, the constant shading of the voice, all the points that are called correct. He is highly talented actor--the phrases sound so trite--he is an artist, then, with a wealth of resources to carry him fhrou.gh the impossibilities of a Pi- irandello monologue. Carl Reid as the Baron Tito gave as vivid a characterization, a distorted interpretation, almost a caricature, but aptly in keeping with the wierd novelty of the situations. He was a villain in clown-white expressionistic, and fully the most convincing actor in the cast. Finally the settings, costumes, and lighting were beautifully, exactly es- ecited: here is where the real su- periority to the. New York production entered. Their strange simplicity was sonmcthing of a triumph; occasionally when dyes and muslin combine ac- curately t he effect is electric. And in the end, one returns to the beginning: "henry IV" is a very great play, a closet drana, and because j of its constant subtlety a very bad play, almost Ft very bad play. * * * " BLOSSOM T IME'" A review, by Valentie Davies. s A ulnitlue event came to pass at the Whitney theatre last Sunday night.
