THE OLD BUTNER INN
Does everyone recognize the above , part by part. It was the first hotel in
picture, or are you saying to each i Winston-Salem and for a long time
other, “What is that familiar looking I the only one. In 1791 President Wash-
place; I know it but I simply cannot ■ ington spent three days in the north-
place it?” Then someone says, “Thej east comer room on the second floor
Butner Inn! Of course!” ! of this historic building. To this day.
The Butner Inn was begun in 17711 that room is still called Washington's
but was not built all at once; it grew i room, and is often visited by tourists.
MERLE ALCOCK AND LAMBERT
MURPHY GIVE JOINT RECITAL
Thvtsday evening, March the third,
Salem College and the Rotary Club
was unusually fortunate in having two
of America’s most promising artists.
Merle Alcock, contralto, and Lambert
Murphy, tenor, appear jointly in
Memorial Hall.
This had been an eagerly anticipat
ed occasion and surely no hopes were
shattered.
The program was unusually well ar
ranged. There were numbers to suit
the taste of true music students, and
occasionally we had the pleasure of
hearing one of the good old songs that
everybody always enjoys.
Encores were numerous. Who
wouldn’t demand an encore after
“Darling Nellie Gray,” “Absence,” or
“Oh That We Two Were a-Maying.”
A WONDERFUL TIME I
We wonder what the Davidsonians
are doing “on Wildcat Hill” for ex
citement since the “fires” have died
down! Salem, for one, still has many
sparks of enthusiasm around when the
two words—“Junior-Speaking’,, and
“Davidson” are even breathed! The
Salemites attending this enjoyable oc
casion were: Hettie Bethea, Fay Rob
erts, Helen Everett, ' Carrie Floyd,
Sarah Lingle, Elizabeth Armstrong,
Eliza Gaston Moore, Juanita Sprinkle,
Mary Bradham, Grace Shepard, and
Margaret Hashagen.
TWO SHAKESPEARE PLAYS
COME TO TOWN
“Romeo and Juliet” and “Hamlet”
On Tuesday, March the eighth,
Salem girls began to feel that they
had suddenly been transplanted to
New York City to “take in” the best
plays of the season, for they had the
pleasure of seeing “Romeo and
Juliet” in the city Auditorium at a
matinee, and “Hamlet” at the evening
performance.
Fritz Leiber took the part of Romeo
in the afternoon and Hamlet in the
evening. Mr. Leiber has been play
ing Shakespearean roles for seventeen
years. Ten years he appeared as lead
ing man and co-star with Robert Man-
tell and later as leading man with
Julia Marlowe in “When Knighthood
Was in Flower”; leading man one sea
son each with Ben Greet and Madame
Olga Petrova; and has just finished a
triumphant engagement in New York
City.
Mr, Leiber was supported by Miss
Irby Marshal, leading woman, Aus
tralia’s leading actress; Louis Leon
Hall, famous Philadelphia matinee
idol, Virginia Bronson, late of the
Mantell Company; Arthur Row and
Joseph Singer who were with John
Barrymore last season; John Burke,
and twelve other capable players.
The scenic arrangements were very
effective with gorgeous illumination.
Mr. Leiber is the first man to really
popularize Shakespeare’s works in a
number of years. His personality is
wonderfully attractive; he is a man of
strong voice, fine figure, handsome face
and commanding stage presence.
This was a rare opportunity and
something that everybody enjoyed to
the fullest extent.
VOTE FOR THE GIRL WHO FILLS
THE BILL
Inauguration Day ushered in a new
era in the affairs of our nation. Nev/
policies and new’ ideas will be applied;
and every true citizen stands waiting
eagerly for progress, and ready to
lend a helping hand in time of stress.
And so it is that our college elections
come, a faithful echo of the national
event, and they are just as important,
in a small way. As the fate of a |
nation depends upon the judgment of j
those of the helm, so the life of our
college depends upon those placed in
authority.
This is a miniature commonwealth,
and we are its citizens—a responsi
bility not to be taken lightly. The
elections should claim the serious con
sideration of every student.
Not only should the six or eight
presidents be chosen with great care,
but likewise their co-workers, the
council and cabinet members, and
heads of committees. The president
cannot run an organization alone. She
must have efficient, faithful support.
Let us vote for the conscientious,
fair-minded, all-round girl who will
uphold and carry on the ideals of
Salem. And having elected her, stick
by her.
MISS JACKSON PRESENTS
DANCES
The faculty and students of Salem
College and their friends were recent
ly very delightfully entertained in
Memorial Hall by a number of dances
and songs representative of various
nations. The dances were supervised
by Miss Jackson, head of the Depart
ment of Physical Education, and
showed remarkable co-operation on
the part of the participants and their
instructor. The costumes were
typical of the nationalities which they
represented — especially the quaint
Dutch shoes, for which Miss Jackson
deserves much credit. It does not
seem necessary to say anything about
the songs by Miss Margaret Mae
Thompson and Miss Alimae Temple, as
hearing is believing in this case. The
entertainment was given under the
auspices of the McDowell Club. The
program was as follows:
The national Scotch Dance—The
Highland Fling—Hilda Moran, Eliza
beth Alcocke, Betsy Holt, Annie T.
Archbell, Margaret Whitaker, Helen

EASTER AT WINSTON-SALEM
Have you bought your copy of the
attractive little booklet, “Easter at
Winston-Salem, N. C.,” which tells you
all about the almost world-reknowned
Moravian Easter services ? It’s some
thing you can’t afford to be without
and there’s one for you for a mere pit
tance—fifty cents.
For years there has been a real need
for an adequate published description
of these impressive services. Now
Dean Shirley has supplied this need.
This booklet will fill a little niche
all its own; for besides a detailed ac
curate description of the services of
Passion Weok, it also contains an ac
count of many other beautiful customs
of the Moravians, of the wonderful
music, four appropriate poems, cuts of
familiar scenes in Old Salem. It is a
mighty worth while booklet and one
that will bring great pleasure now
and in years to come. So buy your
copy today and send the folks back
home one, too!
IN THE MUSICAL WORLD
Mr. Fritz Kreisler gave a violin re
cital for the benefit of the Association
for the Aid of Crippled Children in
Carnegie Hall last Tuesday evening.
The big audience was well rewarded,
for the violinist is seldom in such play
ing form.—Musical Digest.
Paderewski says that he likes jazz.
Good! At last it will become popular.
As yet we have seen no charts or
tables in the daily papers to illustrate
how much Caruso’s illness is costing
him per minute, hour, week, and
month. We hear though that he will
again sing at the Metropolitan next
fall.—Musical Courier.
MUSIC HOUR
We are still enjoying the series of
Lenten Organ Recitals.
L’lst week Mrs. J. Kenneth Pfohl, at
the organ, was assisted by Mr. Pfohl,
b.'i' it one.
This week Miss Mary V. Jones ren
dered the organ selections and was as
sisted by Miss Elizabeth Butner, har
pist, and Miss Nanna Johnson, so
prano.
