The Barnard Bulletin shows staff roles with editor in chief Averys Hoot business manager Ara Ponchfiet and managing editors Milprip Rubinstein and others on the editorial board.
The article argues for a reading period between terms to reduce cramming, suggesting several days or a week between classes and exams. It notes student demand, fits observed college practices, and could require a longer college year while helping undergraduates integrate semester work.
Campus discussions on language exit tests suggest flexibility may help. Some students find the exit form a barrier while others excel in advanced courses. A revised system allowing either passing the exit or earning points in a foreign language would preserve cultural aims without lowering standards.
Barnard notes describe Hunter College's Sing in Radio City Center Theatre, Juniors win amid Senior gripes. The piece recalls library misadventures in Low Library, a candy vendor's sign, Vogue Japan ad copy, and seniors sharing job prospects for next year from psychology to French and history majors.
The Actors Repertory Company presents a two act John Boruff and Walter Hart farce set in Washington. Henry Hogg climbs from sign painter to a self appointed coordinator with a chancy moral arc. Will Geer stands out in a lighter senator role while Fred Stewart leads the cast with mixed support from Helen Shields and others.
The Oratorio Society under Albert Stoessel presented Bach's St Matthew Passion at the Cathedral of St John the Divine last Thursday. Four thousand heard a stirring, beautiful performance lasting about three and a half hours with strong soloists William Hain Julius Huehn Lucielle Browning and a capable choir. The piece showcased dramatic recitatives surpassing Wagnerian aesthetics in impact.
A review notes the film starts with charm but becomes tiresome as slapstick repeats and the plot drags. Irene Dunne shines alongside Douglas Fairbanks Jr. with a flashy wardrobe and a frustrated supporting cast. The Music Hall stage offers a strong “Spring's Folly” scene and a Disney cartoon on ghosts providing comic relief.
A review of Moscow Nights notes strong French photography and solid acting by Pierre Richard Willm as Captain Ignatoff and Harry Bauer. It praises performances but criticizes jerky continuity and implausible ending, while praising overall production quality and direction.
