ject of Kiwanis Talk.
" R. B. House, executive secre
tary of the University, while
speaking- before the Durham
Kiwanis Club- in a Washington's
birthday address at the club's
regular meeting- last week, said",
"Many lessons applicable to the
present time may be learned
from the life of George Wash
ington, who risked" his life, his
personal fortune- irr fact, every
thingbecause he had the cour
age and decision to meet the
problems of his own day. -
"The course of history is
largely determined by the faith,,
action, and integrity.; of . char
acter of men like Washington,
and not. by those who cling to an
attitude of passive acceptance
while awaiting for- something to
happen,"" Mr. House said.
The theme of Mr. House's talk
was that Washington was a
great builder who placed service
to country above self-
The Durham address was the
second of the week given by the
executive secretary. Earlier he
had addressed the Parent-
Teachers Association of Greens
boro on the value of education.
"A man who does not believe
in education loves darkness
rather than light," he said in
fiis Greensboro talk.
"The single specific issue in
North Carolina for more than
one hundred years has been edu
cation;" he said. "The times of
our greatest prosperity have
been the times when we have
had leaders who ... could preach
effectively the gospel of educa-
ion. The essential remedy for
our present troubles is more and
better education. Civilization
functions through the process of
education.

SES
GAY MCLAREN TO
APPEARMARCH2
Noted Dramatic Artist is Third
Presentation of Entertain
ment Committee.
Miss Gay MacLaren, dra
matic artist extraordinary, will
appear in the re-creation of an
entire play in Memorial hall
Monday, March 2 at 8:30. p. m.
This presentation: will make the
third of the- series of programs
offered, this 'quarter by the en
tertainment committee.
Gay McLaren is the young
"woman who gives entire plays
in the voices and" actions of all
the players of the original cast.
She has often: been called, "The
One-Girl Play- Company."
In her childhood, she displayed
an amazing talent for mimicry,
and astounded her teachers by
reproducing an entire play after
sitting in. the audience, seeing
the play several times and then
reproducing the words, gestures
and voices of the players with
out having seem the manuscript..
Her teacher took her to New
York where she was presented
before the Brooklyn Institute of
Arts and Sciences and created a
sensation. Mark Twain became
interested in her and had her
reproduce - his play, "Pudd'n
head Wilson," in his home down
on Tenth Street. -
The newspapers- called her
"phenomenal,"' and declared her
a "genius." Clubs and societies
heard of this "Girl with the
Camera Mind'" as the New York
World called her, and invited
her to appear before them. Mrs.
Thomas Edison became one of
her patronesses and attended
her recitals.
Owing to her ability to mem
orize a play and give it after
hearing it four or five times, she
developed a large repertoire of
plays, which she could give at a
moments notice. , ,
When the Panama Canal was
in the course of construction, the
United States Government sent
her down to entertain the em
ployees of the "Big Ditch" at
the government clubhouses.
She was still in her teens, but
had already mastered twenty of
the most popular plays of the
day. ; ,. ;.
sne was contracted ior one
tour of the Isthmus to give
seven plays. So great was her
success that she made four trips
and gave one hundred and eight
recitals. The Panama, Morning
Journal called her "The Idol of
the Isthmus " and she was given
a Roosevelt Medal.
.- The only time General Goe-
thals, ; Panama's .; constructor,
ever set his foot inside a Zone
Clubhouse (he being opposed to
the management) was to hear
Gay MacLaren on the occasion
of her one hundredth appear
ance at Culebra.
