MacDoweli Club Gives Picture; Dramatic Club Presents Play Pierrette Players Give “The Minuet,” With Miss Chase, Ruth Pfohl And Zora Foy. Large Audience. The members of the Mac- Dowell Club enjoyed a most interesting program on Satur day night, November 14. B' sides the showing of the pictur Peter Pan, there was an added attraction in the form of a one- act play. The Minuet, by Moliere, which was given by the Pier rette Players, under the direc tion of Miss Chase. Dorothy Siewers was to have played the leading role, but on account of her unavoidable absence, Chase took the part instead. She made a very handsome and at tractive Marquis, while Miss Ruth Pfohl played opposite her in the role of the Marchioness, the noble and beautiful French “aristo”. Miss Zora Foy took the part of the jailor. The, scene was laid in France at the time of the Reign of Terror. The Marquis is seen seated alone, in the bare, rough room, which serves him as a prison. He is calm and unruffled, although it is only a matter of a few hours before he will be led to the guillotine. He is read ing and meditating on his past life at court when he was a favorite with couitieis and ladies, and on his present hope less and friendless postion, when the jailor strides in with ar rogant insolence. He marvels at the undistrubed calm of the Marquis who is so near his death. He tells him that a lady is below, asking to see him, but insinuates that only for a price will he allow his prisoner to see her. The Marquis contemptuous ly flings him his golden snuff box and the lady is allowed to enter. She proves to be the Marquis’ own wife whom he had married in happier days. They had hitherto been wholly different to each other and deed had not seen each other for a long time. The Marchioness even now appears indifferent to her husband’s fate, amazed to find that she has taken the trouble to see him be fore he dies, but she tells him that she too is a prisoner, await ing her execution and that she has come, not to say faretwell, but to die with him. They both realize then that they still love each other, in spite of years of misunderstanding, and when the jailor comes to summon them, they go together to the guillo tine, hand in hand, and seeming to tread the slow, stately measure of the minuet. Peter Pan was a play of entirely different character. The story, written by James M. Barrie , is of children and for children and for all those who love children. Peter Pan repre sents the spirit of eternal youth, of childhood which never grows up. The part of Peter Pan is played by Betty Bronson. Peter’s home is in Never Never Land, where all the lost boys of the World go, and where nobody ever grows up. There in Never Never Land live also a band of Indians who are friends of Peter’s and a ferocious pirates led by the 'terrible Captain Hook, who wage tinual war with the lost boyt and with Peter who is theii captain. Not the least i: portant of the inhabitants that strange counti-y are t fairies, of whom Tinker Bell Peter’s special friend a: follower. Although Peter has determin- never to grofw up and live the world again, he sometimes goes back to see what the other little boys and girls are doing. On one of his trips to the he peeps into the nursery of the DarUngs where Wendy, John and Michael are being put to bed by their nurse, a large dog named Nana. She is a very iiderful dog and a competent nurse so that the Darlings feel perfectly safe in leaving their children to her care. At the time of Peter Pan’s first visit, Darling is in the nursery. He slips in the window and be gins to frolic around and (Continued on Page Three) Dr. Moss Addresses Students In Chapel “Parson Moss” of Chapel Hill is Welcomed Enthusiastically at Salem.

Miss Fleming spoke of the Student Self-Help Association, which establishes loan funds to help students support them selves in great distress, make al- selves in great distrees, most unbelievable sacrifices to aid others. The Russians ' pecially are doing such work France, though they are sorely need of everything; they sent particular messages of apprecia tion to Americans fofr all that has been done for them.

Conditions among students e still far from ideal. They have only one meal a day, at times, this meal consisting of slice of bread and a cup of cocoa.

Now it is different be cause more time and thought given to the contents of the paper, as the financial difficulties have been lessened. As a result of this, the material is much better. ‘My advice to everyone learn to express himself in writ ing,” the speaker continued. the fastest and most effective method of making your opinions known and respected.” “Newspaper work is very trying and aggravating.

Linebuger, president of the Publications Union, and the response make by Ruth Efird.

Such a position was natural when col leges were young and they had to create a good impression, but now colleges have too many students. The idea now is not to bring in more students, but to give students a better chance for development. Mr. Moore stated that groups at the head of college publica tions are not infallible, as a trait (Continued on Page Tliree) Series Of Glasses In Girl Scout Leadership Miss Doris Hough, the Regional Director of Girl Scouts, Gives Lectures.
