' Frances Horne Comments On “Liliom; Likes Lighting, Scenery, and Aeting )) moments in which to do your Christ mas shopping before going home for the holidays. If you are in that pre-holiday dilemna about what to give whom, may I suggest that you read on for a few helpful (I hope) suggestions. Right here on campus you can spend hours browsing and buying m the Book Store. Upstairs you will find all kinds of books which are always a good how about Ogden Nashs latest or for the serious type there is Van- nevar Busch’s book on atomic energy. Then a collectdr’s item is that $12.00 edition of Shakespeare s complete works. For a more personal gift y might try one of those cever clothes brushes that come m a tube like a lipstick to assure t a well-groomed look. A stocking gift might be a Fashion-Wnte the newest thing in cosmetics—a com bination ball point pen and lip stick to relieve the clutter m your pocketbook. And there is a ways the old stand by oj a carton o cigarettes (Chesterfields, naturally) with monogramed matches. Down stairs you will find the newest thing in wrappings to make your pac ' ages look just as pretty on the out side as I hope they are on the inside. A quick tour of the stores up town show the Mother and Daug ter featuring leather baby compacts with lipsticks attached for a nomi- nal fee Montaldos had some of the clever est earrings I’ve ever seen. Worn one way they were a single rhine stone and on the other side a sing e pearl—pretty from both back an front. Sosnicks-Thalhimers, however, seem to have outdone everyone with .their Toyland on the third floor which is a perfect place to find that gift for your little niece or nephew. And on the first floor I saw lots of antique gold costume jewelry, with pretty little jewel boxes to keep it in. Another ori ginal gift is the personal ashtray which can be easily carried in your pocketbook so you will always have a place to flip that ash. N. Y. Rabbi Visits Salem Progress is an ideal that is “as often misunderstood” as it is widely shared. Rabbi Samuel H. Golden- son said Tuesday at a Salem Col lege assembly period. Rabbi Goldenson, rabbi of Temple Emanuel in New York City and former president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, said false ideas of progress cause much disillusionment and disap pointment. “Great ideas and great ideals are hard to attain,” he said, “and man substitutes for them imitations which are less costly and easier to achieve. Like other precious things, progress is subject to imitation and its substitutes prove disillusioning when they are ' taken for progress itself.” . Rabbi Goldenson listed substi tutes often mistaken for progress. (1) change, which is not neces sarily progressive since t^e essence of everything, and (2) ev lution, which is not synonymous with progress since it sometimes takes place with undesirable results. “The results of progress are a - ways good,” Rabbi Goldenson said. “To be completely good a thing must be three-d i m e n s i o n a 1 m length, so that it is good for the future as well as now; m breadth, so that it is unlimited by social, national or racial bounds; and m depth, so that it is good m the eyes of God.” The ultimate and, most certain test of a thing’s goodness is this third dimension, he said, and it can only be made by each person ex amining himself for his motives, goal and means of attaining goals. by Frances Horne A successful opening of the theatre season at Salem was held last Thurs day and Friday nights, when the Pierrettes directed by Miss Reigner gave the Salem premiere of "Liliom, a legend in seven scenes, by the Hun garian, Ferenc Moliiar. The prologue set the atmosphere and prepares you for the play, which is “half-legend, half-fantasy” done by the judicious use of distortion to em phasize the fantasy element. Carousel music recorded by Margaret Vardell played in the background was ef fective. Rosalyn Fogel as the sexy, hard boiled Mrs. Muskat played her part convincingly, a pleasant revela tion to those who have seen her only in comedy roles. Her best scene 1 was the one wuth Liliom in which she tries to lure him back to the carousel. Julie the innocent serving maid is an unscintillating character, but Florence Cole probably did as much with it as could be done. She acted as though she thoroughly enjoyed Teacher Has N. Y. Concert Margaret Ferguson (Mrs. Charles B. Merriman) has returned from New York City where she pre sented her debut recital December 2, at Times Hall. She played Brahm’s Sonata in F minor. Op. 5; Schumann’s “Papillons”; Scar latti’s Pastorale; the Scarlatti- Longo Sonata, Op. 449; the Bach- Silotti Organ Prelude in G minor; and selections by Debussy. Clewell Machine Leppert (Continued from page four) one pithy sentence: Mischievous and wanton antics, however diabldical they may be, can be forgiven by a mind which will forget treachery for the sake of possibility. 1—Wealthy 2 The generous Pamela agrees to raise this child as her own (it is not her own.) 3_This method, in more esoteric terminology, may be called the epistolary style. every minute on stage. Liliom, the male lead, was played, by Bryan Balfour. His accent lan- glaise w'as highly satisfactory to the, ear, after too many flat drawds. These drawls were particularly disconcert ing in the scene where two policemen are chasing Fiesur. The plot was thickening, the tension was increasing and we got something like “Theah he goes. Hurry aftah him.” The death scene between Julie and Liliom was quite moving and even succeeded in jerking a few tears here and there in the audience. Other performances deserving men tion were those of Mother Hollunder played by Winkie Harris, Fiscur by Jack White and Marie by Harriet Hall. The play poked along in places, especially the robbery planning scene, but that was because the play itself is slow or because the actors were not quite on the ball or perhaps for both reasons. Technically, the play showed thought, imagination, and elbow grease. The suggestive scenery went well with the sort of play it was. The purple tree was charming and the railroad embankment scene was ef fective. particuafly due to the light ing. The scene where Lilom goes to hell just barely escaped pure melo drama, and the death scene was spoil ed by the lights blinking spasmodical ly off and on until the curtain finally closed. Other details contributing toward the production were the short scene changes, the sound effects, the make up, which was good, and the cos tumes which were suitable to the general tone of the play. (Continued from page one) It takes approximately a half an hour to do one wash. Girls can go in together as long as the wash does not exceed nine pounds. The price is thirty five cents for any amount up to nine pounds. Sign up sheets for using the machine will be placed in the kit chen tonight on second floor Cle well. The girls who sign in ad vance for u-§ing the machine will have preference for doing their washing at that time. There will be girls posted to teach everyone how to use the machine for awhile. The machine is a product of the Bendix Company. It contains a water regulator so that a surplus amount of water will not be used for a small wash il. R. S.
