"THE CONSTANT WIFE"
Reviewed by Arthur W. Decker
Play Production's latest-"The
Constant Wife," by W. Somerset
Maugham-is a sparkling, sophisti-
cated farce based on modern mar-
riage. It moves lightly and enter-
tainly through three acts to end
with an entirely new situation that
is refreshingly hilarious. The play
is typically of the modern tradi-
tion-it even gives vent to collegiate
'slang now and then.
The Constant Wife deals with a
woman who considers the economic
the only sane basis for marriage.
While her husband is unfaithful
she remains constant, due to her

Years of research and careful in-

PHI BETA KAPPA
The Daily takes pleasure in con-
gratulating the new members of
Phi Beta Kappa. It also takes thisI
opportunity for a few remarks, that
we hope will be relevant, on the
subject of scholarship arid its rela-
tion to society.
These remarks should not be
construed as derogatory to scholar-
ship. Rather they seek to discour-
age a monotheistic attitude toward
it, for a doubt exists in our mind'
whether mere scholarship, or mere
Industry, per se, is a boon to the
person within whom it resides or

THE TOASTED CRESCENT
Some prefer their toasted rolls:
I must admit they're good;
But too many I have found
Which taste like charred wood.
Think of a fresh toasted crescent,
So rich and full of meats,
On each and every morning
'Tis the best of all known treats.
Now take this world-famed
column,
Doubtless the best to be had,
Sometimes, well, it's not so good,
But then, again, it's not bad.
Think of poor old Lark,
Laboring over Mary Gold,
How about it, students?
That, stuff's getting old.
Now I don't mean to criticize
Nor even to condemn--
It's only a. mere suggestion
Rendered by me to them.
Some day in the future,
Lark will to us unfold
The life-long, sad history
Of his notorious Mary Gold.
We shall put it to the public,
Allow them to decide,
And by their sane judgment
Everlastingly abide.

the Masonic Auditorium has been
secured to house the mammoth
production.
Two things stand out in the show s
as worthy Critical comment. The
first, that with Florence Reed play-
ing Lady Macbeth, the whole f
drama is given an interpretation
that is unique in its history. It
has become the story of a brilliant-
ly hard and avaricious woman
whose personality is so strong that
she can carry her faltering- hus-
band through to the completion of
a crime that is one of the most
stirring in dramatic literature. And
f when the play draws to its close,
though she is known to be dying, a
victim to the nervous ordeal of guilt
her spirit goes on in her weaker
husband who is bolstered up by the
assurance that he shall never die
by the hand of man born of
woman. Florence Reed makes her
interpretation completely convinc-
ing, and,-finds masterly support in
Lyn Harding as Macbeth, and Wil-
liam Parripw as MacdufT.
The Gcirdon Craig designs are a
brilliane featbre of the mounting
of the Orodwetion, but their artistry
lies in, tie complete subordination
' of the scenic materials to the theme I
of the drama. Craig works on the
theory that the essential nature of
the dramatic appeal of a play may
be condensud and embodied in the
I scenery in such a way that the
I scenic artist and the author may
I seem to be collaborating in telling
the story. To a considerable extent
Craig relies on symbolism. Another
instrument is light, and with it,
color.. And masses can be made tea
convey a dramatic significance. Us-
ing the range of materials an art-
ist can vonceive, Craig has sue-
eeeded in so arranging the ele-
l inents of his designs tliat they
E make an immensely effective back-
ground for the actors as they inter-
prete the drama, while the last
glimpse of the set for each scene
expresses the mood that the action
has aroused.
