It waa • happy idea of the Caro
lina PlaymaLen to present “The
Tamsssg of the Shrew-" - The per
formance at the Forest Theatre in
ftatde'a Park a few days ago was
withoat a doubt a geotone success.
Mr. finch, to the role of the tamer,
justified the high hopes of his audi
ence. Hit voice carried perfectly to
the remotest corner of the ampt
theatre—a virtue that ia not ao cam
mas among actors as it should he—
sod he endowed Pctcnehto with afi
felness that a proper PetradUo
should display. And Mrs. Moore
and the rest of the company sup
ported Mm welt For the <«g
and other details of production

' Espidfy.frow cue duty or
tfcasme to another, with the foot-
W games and all the other eveats
that crowd upon another to the busy
life of the (Jahrecsfty, afi of as are
pmae to give too little thought to
the daya upon days of hard work—
the infinite care and patience—that
go into the preparation of such a
spectacle as this- The achievement
becomes all the more creditable when
one considers that the job was done
to the space of less than four weeks.
Vi bile we applaud the record of
the Playmskers and are proud of
whdt they have done for the Univer
sity to the way of encouragement to
the creation of a distinctive drama,
we must confess to a belief that a*
times they have over-exalted gloom
at the expense of gladness. The trag
edy of miserable, poverty-stricken
creatures, moaning their lives 4way
to desolate mountain huts and mill
town shanties, has been fittingly por
trayed. And the rough side of ex
istence will* continue, as it should,
to bi refilcted by the Playmakers'
art. but an admixture of cheerful
ness ia welcome. A year or atf ago
the programs began to be lightened
up, and the Playmakers have been
better for it. It is well that they are
presenting comedies and farce-com
edies written by the students here,
and we should like to see them give
once or twice every year some play
that has established itself as a win
ner on the professional stage. If
they live up to the standard set to
this most recent performance*they]
will not fail to keep the public good
will which is so abundantly theirs

| The Greensboro News has
been having editorials about the
“bunk (n baseball,'’ alluding to
the fanciful theories of the dis
; tinguished reporters, Grant
land ftfee and others, as to the
strategy of the game. The
, Durham HerakJ takes the News
. to task, suggesting that some
body in the News office must
be a Giant fan, peeved at the
outcome of the series and eage:
to‘take ft out on the basebai'
scribes,
« * *
- Both-of-th£ newspapers agree
that baseball ia a great game—
and there, it seems to me, ia
, where they are both mistaken.
They are cherishing an ancient
fallacy. 1 As a game baseball is
hot only not great, it ia singu
larly uninteresting. Count up
the time elapsed from the be
ginning to the end of the nine
innings, and I believe you will
find that the proportion of
thrilling moments to dull ones
is lower than in any other
sport. Acute partisanship gives
any sort of competition flavor—
mumbledy-peg or throwing
horseshoes or anything else
would excite, you if you were
sufficiently worked up about
who was going to win, and so
does baseball. I can under
stand'how students and alumni
of Wake Forest and Trinity, of
Carolina and Virginia, of Yale
and Harvard, get big fun out
of their college games. But
professional ball, the spectacle
of bands of hired men playing
a dull game for money—there
are many better things to look
at than this. .
* * *
More genuine thrills come
from even s mediocre game of
football than aye imparted by
ell the games played in a week
by the National and American
baseball leagues.
