WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1930.
Pierrette Players Present
Their Annual Production
“New Lady Bantock” Given
Saturday Night in
Memorial Hall
The Pierrette Players presented
their annual spring production on
Saturday night, May 10, beginning
at 8:15 o’clock. “The New Lady
Bantock” was the title of the inter
esting comedy given which is known
also as “Fanny and the Servant
Problem.”
A most important feature of the
evening was made known when it
was announced that “Pierrots”
would also appear in the cast, this
being the first time that the club
has enlisted the help of gentlemen
in its work. This fact added t
the eagerness with which Salem stu
dents anticipated the event.
The author, Jerome K. Jerome,
has woven a most intricate plot
around the setting in the heroine’s
boudoir at Bantock Hall, Rutland
shire, England in which all the ac
tion takes place. In the beginning
of the play the young master of the
hall. Lord Bantock, brings home
his bride, formerly Miss Fanny
O’Gorman, an actress. The latter
has been an orphan since she
fourteen years old, and went oi
stage because she was unable to
live happily with her relatives. All
family history and troubles have,
however, been blissfuly ignored by
both the young lady and her adoring
husband, who does not know that
she has anyi kinspeople in Eng
land. For ths reason Fanny, who
does not know that she has
tied a Lord, rather than an artist,
until she arrives at Bantock Hall,
astounded and bewildered to discover
that her uncle, aunt and cousins from
whom she has run away are every
one servants of his, lordship, her
husband!
From this point on the plot devel
oped rapidly and presented many
complications. Rollicking humor '
present throughout the play and
lieved the tenseness of some of the
most dramatic scenes. The cast In
cluded.

DEBATING SOCIETY
SELECTS OFFICERS
At a recent meeting of Sigkna
Omicron Alpha, officers for the com
ing year were elected. The prog
ress of this society has been extreme-
ily gratifying, and its members are
looking forward to a still more ex
pansive future. The new officers
are as follows:
President—Alice McRae Caldwell
Vice-President—Doris Kimel
Secretary a n d Treasurer—Frances
Chairman Program Committee—
Lucy Woolwine.
The Junior work has been center
ed around the budget with each stu
dent preparing a (budget for herself
as well as for women of different
incomes. Well planned budgets
on display, illustrated by attractive
drawings for the nurse, the society
girl, the concert singer, and tjiie
working girl. The Junior labora
tory work has consisted of the mak
ing of pajamas, sport dresses, street
dresses, afternoon dresses, semi
ning and evening dresses. The fresh
men work has included felt hats,
woolen dresses, woolen suits,
dresses, straw hats, and cotton dress
es. Miss Winston pointed out that
the advantage of making one’s owr

clothes at a very small cost.
The talk was followed by a fash

hats they have made the past year.
The presentation was enjoyed by a
large audience. Refreshments were

Final Recital Given
By Miss Ina Cox
Organ Recital Brings Gradua
tion Programs to Close
The last graduating recital to be
given this year at Salem College
took place Saturday night
morial Hall, when Miss Ina Cox,
organist, presented a program of
rare beauty and distinction before
an appreciative and enthusiastic
audien**.
Miss Cox is a pupil of Dean
Charles G. Vardell, Jr., and a ‘
mer pupil of the late Dean R.
Shirley. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Cox, of Win
ston-Salem, and is well known here
as organist of St. Leo’s Catholic
Church.
Opening her program with the
famous “St. Anne's Prelude and
Fugue,” by Bach, Miss Cox gave
evidence from the first of that de
sirable combination of technical pro
ficiency and interpretive ability. Her
artictic phrasing, her skillful per
formance of the difficult pedal pass
ages, her careful attention to detail
and above all, her profound con
ception of the work as a whole,
brought to her audience a true real
ization of its majectic greatness.
In the modern group which fol
lowed with delightful contrast, the
Bonnet “Romance Sans Paroles’'
was particularly charming in ijh(
simplicity of its melodic appeal. The
“Evening Song,” by Bairstow, show
ed a fine appreciation of balance be
tween melody and accompaniment.
The outstanding number in the
group, however, was Goodwin’s de
scriptive composition, “The Carni
val Passes By.” Its spirited
rhythmic structure, its colorful reg
istration and its interesting use of
the whole tone scale gave ample op
portunity for originality of interpre
tation and Miss Cox proved herself
adequate to its every demand.
The Buxtehude “Passacaglia,”
with which the final group began,
was played with impressive dignity.
In decided, contrast to the noted
work by Bach’s predecessor was the
“Harmonies du Soir,” by the
modern composer, Karg-Elert. The
elusive harmonic progressions of
the latter were greatly enchanced
by Miss Cox. The entire recital
was brought to a brilliant !close
v/ith the “Allegro Maestoso” move
ment of the “Sonta in D Minor”
by West.
The assisting artist on the pro
gram was Mrs. Audrey Clore
LeGrand, soprano, a gifted
ber of the music faculty of Salem
College. Mrs. LeGrand’s first nv
the celebrated aria, “Dop
le jour,” from the opera “I.ouis
by Charpentier. The excellence of
her French diction, the clarity of her

Mrs. Palmer Jerman Delivers
InstructiveAddressWednesday
Students Hear One of Most
Vitally Interesting Talks of
Year at Expand^ Chajpel
One of the most interesting lec
tures of the year was given by Mrs.
Palmer Jerman of Raleigh in Young
People’s Meeting. Wednesday, May
7. The address concerned, for the
most part woman’s duty as a citizen.
Mrs. Jerman began the talk by
saying that she was a great believer
in preparedness, and that she be
lieved the women of America should
be trained from youth for citizen
ship. Mrs. Jerman declared that she
would not attempt to advise the
younger generation, because it could
easily come back with the question,
“What has your generation made of
life?” Nevertheless, the speaker
said she would not hesitate to tell
the younger generation that the fu
ture belonged to it, and that it is up
to itself to make ready for the fu
ture with great preparadness and
expectancy.
The thought of youth leaps to the
future as to what one is going to
do in life. At twenty-one, every
American youth has presented to
him, on a silver tray, a great privil
ege; namely, the right of citizenship
and the right to vote. Ten years
ago women won this franchise after
seventy-five years of struggle. Co '-
sequently, this privilege is granted to
women of to-day without any price
but it was won at a great price by
women of former generations. Yet,
if these women could make any re
quest concerning tliis franchise, it
would be that the young people of
America use it carefully and wisely.
Like all other reforms. Woman
Suffrage came slow. It followed di
rectly the great movement for the
education of women. Now that this
has been achieved, it is up to the
present generation to use the privil
ege in the best way possible. Each
generation has its own problems to
face in its own particular age. Each
generation is confronted constantly
with the question, “How are we to
these problems?” It is useless
to accept as true any solutions or
faiths which have been handed down
from former generations unless they
have been tested by present diay
itelligence. However, there is a
permanent policy fto be fallowed
and that is, “Let your citizenship
e a goal to achieve good and
ighteousness.”
Mrs. Jerman said that it was
strange to some people that wherever
men are found banded together,
women working for some cause—-
there the human element is found
also. This statement is verified by
the fact that it has been the Women’s
Organization wjiicli 'have J%iyed
especial attention to the delinquent
child, the dependent child, and the
widowed mother. The human inter
allied with government and,
consequently, through the defense of
human interest, women have entered
politics and have effected legisl ■
The question may be asked, “What
has the woman citizen done as a re
sult of this franchise?” She has
a goal for the future. Although
the reforms she has her heart set
upon are slow in coming, she believes
that they will eventually arrive.
The speaker said that it is better
that) thin^ come slowly, because
people appreciate them more since
more is known about them—even
though the patiences of those who
await them are sorely tried.

Senior Members Are Guests
of Honor at Dinner
On Friday evening. May 9, the
Senior members of Beta Beta Phi
soroity ,were honored at a delightful
dinner in the private dining-:
at the Reynold’s Grill. The sorority

there were streamers leading to each

the girls pulled the ribbons, presents
began to tumble from the improvised
dog’s head—a gift for each honor
guest. At each end of the table
there was a bowl of red roses

shoulder corsage of red roses
