The Barnard Bulletin discusses cinema criticism and the role of films in culture. It notes a statement from the National Board of Review on educational and moral value and urges readers to engage with evolving screen art.
A critique argues the cinema far surpasses stage reach in the United States and serves as a major conduit for news, propaganda, and education. It notes the need for critics and playwrights to guide film toward higher artistry, as silent drama evolves toward refinement.
A letter urges Barnard to end lenient reviews and judge plays professionally to raise standards. Another reader suggests merging Junior Show and Senior Play into one fall evening with Sing Song to boost college drama and Rivalry to mirror Mysteries and Greek Games.
The writer argues against faint praise for college plays and calls for straightforward unbiased reviews. He contends audiences should not be insulted by mediocrity or feel obliged to laud performances. Progress in dramatics requires frank opinion and honest criticism from The Bulletin.
The column requires signed letters with full author names. initials may be printed on request. Editors do not assume responsibility for opinions or statements published in this column.
