S"SISTERBEATRICE"
A Review by Marlon Welles
"The Miracle" of the evening was
the perfect composure of the virgin
standing motionless and barefooted,
safely, hidden in her shrine, while the
audience shook and shivered ,before
the cold blasts from Alaska which
swept through the theater. Any short-
comings of last night's performance
can be ascribed to the lack of janitor
service.
"Sister Beatrice" is Maeterlinck's
interpretation of a medieval legend
concerning the sinful advent of a nun

THE ESKIM O
People who heard Dr. Knud Ras-
mussen, arctic explorer, when he
spoke here Wednesday were rather
surprised to find that the Eskimos
have a religion, and still more sur-
prised to find that they have philoso-
phers and a philosophy of life. "They
wonder about life," the explorer said,
"and believe that hardship is what
opens the mind of man."
It is a great testimonial to our con-
summate ignorance that we do not
