November 18, 1933 THE TWIG PAGE THREE "Spreoding the News'' Proves Big Success The annual freshinnu play, "Spread ing the News" by Ludy Gregory, was presented on Saturday evenJug, No vember 11. The play was under the auspteea of The Little Theatre and was directed by Miss Ethel English with the asBlstance of Emily Miller, Little Theatre President. The pJay was a very amusing one- act farce ridiculing the exaggeration of gossips who attend to everybody’s business but their own. The players portrayed the meddlesome Irish bour geoisie in a realistic manner. Susie Saunders's performance aa Mrs. Tar- pey, tlie deaf old woman who sold apples, was very well done; and Kate Covington was especially good as the much-abused housewife. Each charac ter showed a good deal of dramatic ability. The committee in charge of the play was; Staging Peg LeGrand Costumes Susan Emma Sloan Tickets Elberta Poster The characters were as follows: Bartley Fallon Margaret Tyson Mrs. Pallon Kate Covljigton Jack Smith Cntlierine Martin Shawn Early Ruth PrlvoLt Tim Cftsey Dorothy Brown James Ryan ; Frances Ebbs Mrs. Tarpey Susie Saunders Mrs, Tully Olive l>ame Jo Muldoon Catherine Dockery Magistrate Francos Hass MEREDITH PROFESSOR ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY ARMISTICE DAY fContlnued from pago one; liern, It you will but let your mind run over the list of the cloven mlll- lary figures previously elevated to the prosidoiicy, you will not be likely to conclude that our failure to do as much I'or some of our world war mili tary londer.s has been duo to the in- I'erlorlty of the latter to the former. A more probable reason is that we do not greatly admire the ruthless and sclentinee efTicieiicy in killing which the very nature of warfare iu our times Imposes upon the successful man of arms. For that our leaders are not to be blamed; and yet, our instinct is itnii)ably a wliolesonie one. Perhaps, indeed, the horrors of the world war have given a new impetus to the con viction in us that war is a result of a lack of intelligeiino and good will in ordering human affairs. For four years the world has lived in a now crises. No greater mistake can be made than to apeak of this state of affairs as a (U’.i)rennlon, for such a characterization of it over-emphasizcs the importance of the economic as pect of the situation. The crisis is far from being exclusively economic. For business, after all, is but a means to an end, and underneatli its glaring failure to achieve that end lie the in- adexuate social and political philoso' phies that have given birth to wars and conflicts rather than to peace and Hove you tried— HORTON’S for thot new HAT you wont? WELCOME to the WAKE on Fayetteville Street THIS OOtTPOK ANB 10= WILL ADMIT TOn ANT TmB good will. Let us look at the picture of the political world as It appears to day with political nationalism and ini- perialism never far In the background. During the World War we were often told that it was a war to end wars! What a way to end wars! Brave ef forts, have, indeed, been made since its conclusion, to that end. Wilson in sisted . successfully tbat a league of the Nations should bo set up by the treaty of Versailles, to compel re* calcitrant nations to adjust their dif ferences with other nations in accord ance with the public opinion of the world. Scarcely less creditable than the efforts of President Wilson were those of the great French statesman, Briand. Other leaders have lent their aid Intelligently and hopefully to tho great cause of world peace. But, am bitious politicians have made the ap peal of national hatred to their own peoples, and today they seem to be dominant iu the affairs of several of the world's danger spots; in one autocracy still holds sway. So come wars, and bo may come a new world war as we assemble to cele brate the end ot the last. If the poverty of the world we now live in seema to us hard to bear, it may, nevertheless, prove to be our salvation, for war is Lhe jnost expensive enterprise in which modern men engnge. Poverty some- thnes forces men to be sensible. Thank God for opportune poverty! To the brink of a new war, then, has the war to end war led us, So will every other one. for war breeds hatreds and hatreds, in turn, brood war. And so, as we gather here today to celebrate this Armistice Day, let ua sing no hymn to Mars, Let us. rather, renew iur search, courageously and steadfastly, for the way to peace, while peace may yet be found.
