February 20, 1923 THE TAR HEEL Page Three Eng meering Leve. Mountains The Pack Train has become a relic of the past, along with the Prairie Schooner. Modern methods of transportation have leveled mountains, brought San Francisco nearer to New York, and widened the mar kets of all our great industries. And the engineering brains and energy, that have developed transportation to the prominence it holds in the business of the world today, are no longer employed in improving means of overland travel alone. Street Railways, Elevator Systems, Inter urban Lines and Improved Shipping Lines these are some of the accomplishments of engineering in the development of belter transportation. Neither have the builders of such systems' been concerned only in the actual hauling of people and materials. A study of the methods of handling passengers and freight at the large terminals has developed the Terminal Engineer, who has greatly improved existing methods, and has developed entirely new ones, as well. Engineering, as it is applied to transporta tion, has had to concern itself with many kinds of materials and many ways of handling them under all manner of circumstances. For instance the problems surrounding the handling of iron ore, in bulk, are vastly different from those encountered in moving any one of the finished products manufac tured from iron ore, that must also be transported in large quantities. But Engin eering constantly meets each situation with improved transportation facilities. Industry, as a whole, and the nations and the people of the world owe much to the engineers, associated with such large manu facturing industries as Westinghouse. They have not only brought about vast improve ments, but they have done so at a constantly decreasing cost to those who derive the greatest benefit from them.

L. Andrews, MoVeytown, Fa., F. 3. Strader, Burling ton ; John I). Cayron, Philadelphia, Pa. ; J. A. Isley, Iturlington ; Mrs. Creech, Durham; G. McAninch, Dayton, Ohio; W. I. Sanderford, Raleigh; It. L. Fritz. Hickory and L. Williams, Hamlet. All of the plays are well known upon the campus and two of theiu were criti ei.cd in a recent issue of the Tar Heel, so it is suiierlluous to discuss their un questioned merit as dramatic vehicles. But in view of the circumstances it may lie well to say "n few well-chosen words" ly way of criticism of their presentation Friday night. Agatha This play is still the delightful creature which Jane Toy made it still a beauti ful picture but on Friday evening it was like a beautiful picture which had been poorly crated and jolted about for ten days on the Norfolk and Southern Railroad. Perhaps if we had never seen its utterly charming "first night" we could even now be enthusiastic over it Hut as it was the play lacked smooth ness, especially in several particularly rough spots, and lost much of its charm as a result. The characters were acting and showed it, and the make-up of sev eral of them was hurried and harsh. Nancy Battle in the name part gave the same vivacious and bewitching per formance but seemed a trifle indifferent. Joe Powell showed marked improvement as the negro Shadrack and gave a fine account of himself. Spencer Murphy was not so graceful as he should have been and was not quite the correct tyie for the part of Fairfax Merriman. He showed up far better in "Wilbur's Cousin." Katherine Bntts as Angela did several bits of fine acting but one tne wnoie was nuumt-Nii; uiimura to the part. Carrilea Sanders completed the beautiful and charming trio of sis ters but slightly over-acted the part of Amabel. Kitty Lee Frazier as Miss Molly, George Denny as Colonel Pettiway, and Owen Woodside as Major Baity did some very good acting but all were cast to belter advantage in the other plays. The whole cast of "Agatha" was afflicted with too great a familiarity with their parts. Off Nag's Head This play was actually n relief from "Agatha." The situation in it is not intensely dramatic and no attempt was made to make it so. But the adequate building up of this situation and of the species of suspense possible in a play so brief was hindered by the failure of two of the characters to sufficiently pro ject several of their lines. The mechani cal eifeets of this play, so far as they went, were excellent. Owen Woodside as the old fisherman gave a masterly performance except that he swallowed a word or two occasionally, and Katherine Batts was superb as the old woman. Possibly she did not make the utmost of her big moment, but these two made the play great. Ueorge Denny was excellent as the doctor, but he spoke a few of his lines too loudly, contrasting rather too sharp ly with the speech of the others and the situation at that moment. Sue Byrd Thompson did well as the fisherman's daughter but her peculiar nasal twang, though intensely true-to-life, was hard to understand and conducive to laughter once or twice at the wrong place. Car rilea Sanders made the sick woman strikingly realistic though she spoke no lines. Wilbur's Cousin Little criticism could be offered here. The vastly improved play was literally a slice of life. Furthermore, the greater part of the humor on the play was got across. However, several discrepancies remain even yet. For instance, the speech of Wilbur did not savor in the slightest of Connecticut, in which state he is supposed to live, and for the life of us we can not see why Jelly Bean should have such great difficulties in negotiating a French window.- But these are very minor details. The only disappointment was the play ing of Hoyt Boone. After the great piece I of comedy acting which he did two weeks' ao he seemed on Friday evening to be fed up on his part and over-acted it sadly. Kitty LeLe Frazier as the domineering wife was a delight and did some line acting in a somewhat difficult part. Kruest Thompson, the author, got a good hand 011 his entrance in the minor part of Ueorge Williams and a bigger hand on his delightful acting. Owen Woodside as Jelly Bean was good but. a great deal of the real comedy in this part was still not. taken advan tage of. We were elated to note that Jelly I ten 11 had realized his affront to good taste and no longer wore knickers to liulcixh for a week-end visit to a worthy spinster aunt. But the n-, u- necking party which was indulged in by Wilbur (Spencer Murphy) and Stella (Sue Byrd Thomp son) was the thing that completely up set the equilibrium of the audience. Miss Thompson was practically perfect and Spencer Murphy certainly rates a "one" j on the course. His acting in the part was u two hundred per cent improve ment over his original performance. Perhaps it will be said that after the copious and almost unqualified praise given the playmakers by the press of Kastern North Carolina we have been a bit rough on them, but we hope that the old line about "A prophet is not without honor, ct cetera" will not be em ployed, ine Haymakers nave accom plished great things and prophesy great er things but they are not yet perfect and a dash of home-brewed caustic will do them more good than indiscriminate pra ise. ::"'f ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 'CAJH03LIIMA D)VW ICS LJ FScl : ; : : s '.'. :: FRESH FRIENDSHIP COUNCIL HOLDS SOCIAL Many Girls Present at Enjoyable Af fair of X.Hi-Y men in Par ish House. Girls, games and soiis were the fea tures of a delightful social of the Freshman Friendship Council held hist Friday night in the parish house of the Episcopal church. Dick Erwin, presi dent of the council, pronounced tho nf fair a marked success and an earned reward for the hard work of the coun cil during the year. Every kind of game imaginable was played from "Wink" to "Spin the Pan." Rev. Walter Pattou and Mrs. It. B. Lawson were present in the capneity of ehaperons. G. H. Leonard and W. A. Lillycrop represented tho Y. M. C. A. cabinet in the absence of Secretary Comer, who was confined to bed with a slight attack of flu. Ralph Cain, chair man of the program committee, struck a happy idea in inviting the co-eds to grace with their presence this, ono of the few baby class organizations on tli Hill and therefore in need of guiding hands. Tho arrangements was equally satisfactory to the young ladies who are said to have enjoyed the freshman affair immensely. The" friendship council, composed of all freshmen who were members of the lli-Y clubs in high school, meets fort nightly for the purpose of keeping in touch with the morale of the freshmen. The council is conducted by the Y. M. ('. A. as the cabinet for the freshman class. I). IT. Erwin is president of the organization; J. E. Copeland, vice pres ident, and J. A. liebert, secretary.
