COLLEGE TIMES Dance State Teachers College, Lock Haven, Penna. VOL. VIII.—NO. 22. THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1931 5 Cents Per Copy LARGE CROWD ENJOYS STUDENTS' OPERETTA is- tied by J a n e H a r l a n and tiss Larrabe ; " P e p i t a " ' res Big Success The Mexican operetta "Pepita" was presented on Wednesday evening, March 4, by the music methods classes, under the supervision of Miss Lottie Larrabee and under the direction James Harlan. This performance was given for the purpose of purchasing band instruments. Approximately one hundred dollars was realized. Ruth Harpster, in the title role of Pepita, gave a convincing pori^rayal of the dark-eyed Mexican senorita. Combining a pleasing personality with fine dramatic ability. Miss Harpster was very well received. As Pepita's suitor, Isadore Ziff most capably appeared as Don Carlos, his fine voice adding much to the performance. Clara Williams as Marie, the innkeeper and mother of Pepita, gave a performance which was one of the comedy high-lights of the play. With her wit and her pantomimic ability she frequently gained peals of laughter from the audience. One of the outstanding characterizafons of the evening was that of C h a p e l E x e r c i s e s Devoted The intra-mural basketball season Series of Love Musical Arts Vivian Mess'mer in the role of Felipe. closed last week with the pennant to Brief Review of State Concerts C o n d u c t e d Miss Messimer, gifted with a lovely winners of the leagues staging a closevoice and a most charming personly contested cage tilt.

"Almayer's Folly," Joseph Conrad; Doubleday, Doran and Co., New York, 1 9 2 8 — I n t h e sea of artistic creation one wave, more t h a n others, has come to the t o p and commanded the a t t e n tion of onlookers. The s u r g i n g of t h a t wave h a s been felt in all a r t — a r c h i t e c t u r e , p a i n t i n g , sculpture, music and l i t e r a t u r e .

A f h a i a t e r t i " of both periods is simplicity, b u t t h e simplicity revealed in s y m b o l s m is the kind t h a t is gr-ipping and powerful. An excellent example of t h ' s t r e n d in l i t e r a t u r e is " A l m a y e r ' s Folly," by Joseph C o n r a d . T h e plot of the novel is relatively simple, c e n t e r i n g a b o u t a Dutch t r a d e r ' s lack of s y m p a t h y with his half-caste d a u g h t e r ; yet, as one r e a d s t h e story one is impressed by the c o n v e r g i n g and the r e c e d i n g of elemental forces r a t h e r t h a n the affairs of h u m a n beings. T h e first two words of the story, " K a p a i ! " and " A l m a y e r ! " exclamations of someone's irritation, and A l m a y e r ' s complete disregard of t h e m as he gazes a t t h e sunset and d r e a m s of gold, c a r r y with t h e m a prophecy. The sloth into which A l m a y e r falls is n o t t h a t of an individual, b u t t h e sloth into which it is decreed t h a t all m e n shall fall who m a k e a choice sue has A l m a y e r made. T h e failure of A l m a y e r to gain success a m o n g the i n h a b i t a n t s of Borneo, is n o t so much his failure as it is t h e failure of an entire r a c e — a race which tries to exploit a less fort u n a t e one.
