YELLY D'ARANY
A Review by Herbert S. Schwartz
Chiefly to be remembered of Miss
D'Aranyi's concert is the abomin-
able accompaniment that distorted
everything it accompanied; a brief
!surcease was afforded by the Bach'
Andante and Gavotte foi the violin
alone. It seems strange and un-
reasonable that an artist of Miss
D'Aranyi's caliber should be so
careless of so important a matter.
I Literally and musically there was
absolute lack of blending. The
pianist for the most part seemed
to be quite unaware that a violinist
who was, or should be, the master
of the situation, was playing. Mere
subduing of tone is hardly adequate
recognition of the fact. The re-
viewer cannot recall a single in-
stance where the attack was syn-
chronized. In the more intricate
passages the accompanist seemed ,
to be out of breath in her mad en-
deavor to hold the pace; when she
could more easily cope with the
situation,. she was utterly absorbed
with her own none too musical self-
expression. Violinists are notori-
ously careless of their accompanists
but they all, seem able to choose
one who can keep together with
s them. It may be excusable for a
violinist to play with someone
whose musical intelligence out-
shines his own; the compdrison
r might be unprofitable; but any
comparisons suggested by last
night's performance were only
odious.
Apart from this self-imposed
e handicap Miss D'Aranyi showed
d herself to be a very acceptable
violinist. She played with very
pleasing tone (if not a luscious
y one); the quality of her G-string
g was quite accurate, her phrasing
t generally in good taste, her shading
- sensitive; there was more than
ample technique. More than this
cannot be said. One did not feel
E any overwhening intensity o the
reserved discrimination and bal-
I ance to which such intensity somv
i times matures. There was a little
d of everything; enough to make an
exceptionally good violinist-but I
nothing more. Miss D'Aranyi should I
make a marvelously good player of
chamber music (if she chooses
more capable assistance than she
did for this performance).
The program was too shot and
the key too monotonous. There was
too much centered about D major
and nearly related keys. The Vitali
Ciaconna was very successful.
t While it could not be said that
there was any great breadth in this
performance, any remarkable feel-
_ ing for larger outlines, the smaller
n parts were done with such appar-
m ent delicacy and taste that one
readily excused this deficiency. The
same might be said for the Bach
f Andante and Gavette. To the third
group, consisting of short violinistic
r pieces was done well enough; the
r music was charming in an inconse-
quential fashion.

THE COMING RENAISSANCE
For some time the world of edu-
cation, particularly higher educa-
tion, has been looking for some
sucker to fire the opening salvo in
a campaign to reserve college
training for the fittest. President
Little tried it last year and got for
his pains the damnation of faint
praise and the dubious honors of
martydom. A heavy precipitation
of conservatism dampened the fuse
on his University college project.
The cause has recently found an-
other young champion attacking
albeit from a lowlier point of van-
tage, but undeniably attacking. The
new champion is Headmaster Wen-
dell of The Hill, progressive ad-
ministrator of a leading prepara-
tory school, who has dared to tell
parsents that their sons would do
better in other fields of endeavor
than college. He says to parents,
in substance, "We can probably
train your son to pass college board
examinations, but we know that
his chances of staying in college are
slim. We will liberalize his courses,
but we advise against his going to
college."
For this heresy Headmaster Wen-
dell, unlike Heretic Little, has re-
ceived no damnation, some praise.
One more than likely reason for
his survival is that he broached
his radicalism in the East where
thought is less smug. Then, too,
he was only giving official articu-
lation to rumbles that have long
been heard in other preparatory
schools such as Hotchkiss, Taft, St.
Paul's, and Choate.
The idea that only a part of
those who can enter should go to
college is unquestionably due to
spread. It is one of those funda-
mental and apparent truths, long
unpropagated, that will be accept-
ed during the educational renais-
sance soon to follow the present
dark age. Its acceptance will be
manifested in harder entrance ex-
aminations, smaller enrollments,
fewer half-baked graduates, and
University colleges gently weeding
out the palpably unfit before they
have squandered four years trying
to assume a cultural veneer.
Eventually the principle that
higher education should be re-
served for the fittest will be applied
in practice as commonly and natu-

"STEP OUT OF SUNLIGHT"
To the Editor:
That most recalcitrant and impi-
T ous of man, Diogenes, who would'
find unimpeachable honesty and
truth, was once confronted by
Alexander the Great at Corinth.
Asked by the youthful Uebermensch
if he could oblige him in any way,
the Cynic answered, "Yes, kindly
step out of the sunlight."
I humbly compare myself to Di-
cgenes in certain searchings I
wculd make and questions I would
ask. I hope that because of my
taste for truth, I may not seem
recalcitrant' impious or idiosyn-
cratic. For I am only following the
custom established by this delight-
ful shocking, Cynic of earring the
lamp into far corners. Besides,.
what others say of such a proced-
ure does not matter much, as it
has never mattered.
The subject of my questionings is
near to the studenxt.< hearts. In
all recent discus ion upon it, this
faat was fcrgctten, and President
Little's resignation or removal was
deemed a state concern, a Board
of Regents' concern, an Ann Arbor
Landladies' concern. Basically (or
ideally) it is the student's concern.
He is the one who is being educated
and trained; he should have some
few words to say about the dis-
missal or appointment of his intel-
lectual Mentor, to whom he has
intrusted not merely a house and
the teaching of a Telemachus, but
the sanctity of an intellectual out-
look and an intellectual develop-
ment. For it is vital to me to'
know whether I shall be guided by
the hand of a Little, a GlennI
Frank, or a Meikeljohn; or by thef
hand of the political boss' friend
whose only recommendation to so
do is his wish for a sinecure; or by
the hand of an ex-president of the
illustrious United States who brings
with him an extraordinary ability
to read typewritten speeches and

"All is not gold that glitters,

This idea of the Old Gold com.
pany is really a humanitarian
move. It keeps the boys fron

t'4AKE MY ADVICE"
A Review by Paul L. Adams
"Good Heavens! Another com-
plication!" When Joseph Weaver
made this remark in the third act
of "Take My Advice," he did it
with a sincerity which might well
be a criticism of Comedy Club's
latest effort, for the play is just
that-a series of farcial complica-
tions which makes good entertain-
ment if, nothing more, because of
the cleverness of the lines.
Most notable among the cast was
Alfred ;Foster' who was assigned
the rather difficult part of play-
ing a seventeen year old boy in
love, and did it with success. The
nature of the play caused most of
the parts to degenerate into bur-
lesque, and this was true of Mr.
' Foster as Bud Weaver, but he did
it with a consistency and a certain
( measure of seriousness which com-
bined to make his work the most
outstanding of the evening.
Jeanette Dale as Mrs. Weaver also
did more with her part than one
might have hoped from a readin!
of the play. As the wife of a long
suffering husband, she was realisti-
cally irrdtional, charming, ava yet
capable of arousMg our symipathit's
for Mr. Weaver.
