German Plays Impress With Mixed Acting at Brinckerhoff
The German societies of Columbia and Arnard presented three one act plays in the Brinckerhoff Theatre last Friday and Saturday. Despite poor coaching the ensemble delivered a spirited if uneven show with Valued performances by Louisé Greenawalt Carl Kayser and E Meisel in Unter Vier Angen and Ernest Boas in Einer Muss Heiraten. All three pieces showed wavering business sense and inconsistent execution though McMaster’s portrayal in Im Warte Salon earned praise and Gretchen Roike was praised for looks hampered by coaching.

Valueless Art Exhibition At 1910 Salon Ends Year
The 1910 Salon held a last monthly tea featuring a "Valueless Art Exhibition" of Things That Made the College Famous. Exhibits borrowed from the Museum of Supernatural History included a red tape tapestry, Palisades bluff image, a Black Hand sketch, and an “Education A and B” tire. Theatrical, literary, teachers, and “People” sections followed with pieces like Beaucaire, Twelfth Night, 1409 Soreheads, and a pony that trotted. The display mixed humor and campus references, with some pieces misinterpreted as life preservers or wedding rings.
