Three Act Play "Skidding, by
Aurania Rouverol , to be Pr esented at 8:00 O'clock This
Evenin g.

Tonight the Junior Class is presenting "Skidding ," a three act camedy written by Aurania Rouverol.
"Skidding " enj oyed a long run on
Broadway and for many seasons
played all the principal cities of the
country.
It is a comedy of modern family
life. The Hardys are a group who
have all the squabbles it is possible
to have.
The plot centers about the election
of Judge Hardy to the bench. Trouble arises concerning his re-election
and he is aided by his daughter Marion. She secures his re-election and
she herself is nominated for the legislature.
This action displeases
Wayne Trent who believes a woman 's place is in the home so he
breaks their engagement.
There is also a dual plot in the affairs of M yra and E st elle , sist ers t o
Marion , who leave t heir husbands
and come home. The entire triangle
is very effectively worked out and is
greatly enhanced by the comic capers of "Andy, " the adolescent kid
brother who undergoes the mystery
of his first "date. "
The rehearsals have been going on
steadily under the direction of Miss
Johnston and the cast is perfectly
primed for their performance.
The cast is as follows :
Ruth Wagner
Marion Hardy
Jack Hall
Wayne Trent
Daniel Thomas
Andy
Seymour Stere
Grandpa Hardy
Henry Warman
Judge Hardy
Laura Shultz
Mrs. Hardy
Aunt Milly
Lois DeMott

Five Run Rall y in Seventh and
Tenth Inning Turns the Trick ;
Several New Players Are in the
Line-up .

^
The College baseball team opened
its season last Saturday at Kingston
with a thrilling victory over Wyoming Seminary by the score 7-6 after
10 innings of play. A five-run rally
in the seventh inning resulted in
tying the score at 6 all. In the tenth
inning Bloomsburg scored the winning run.
Several new faces appeared on the
diamond as the game began. Shelhamer , husky Mifflinville boy, who
pitched the Maroon and Gold to victory, appeared in the line-up in the
fifth inning, relieving Slominski, who
also pitched well. Watkins, stocky
third baseman, was ano t her new man
who showed his mettle by collecting
three hits to lead the Bloomsburg
team in hits. Yaretski, playing shortstop, showed up well, scoring two
hits.
Cap tain Kirker and Yock were in
their positions at first base and Wilson was at second. This year 's outfield is the same as last year 's, Rudowski in lef t, Golder in cen t er , and
Davis in right.
Considering the fact that it was
the first game of the season for
Bloomsburg, the boys played very
well and should round out into tipContinued On Page Three

PARTY GALA AFFAIR
JOHN GALSWORTHY
Miss Kulp, while at Philadelphia
recen tly, heard t he noted English
novelist, John " Galsworthy address
the Forum. She gave this brief
sketch of his address in an interview
with one of our reporters.
The author 's subj ect, as announced beforehand , was "Six Favorite
Novelties " which he later changed to
"Some Favorite Novelists. " He stated that it was impossible to ju dge
fairly any contemporary writer. "I
may have a passion with him," said
Mr. Galsworthy, "bu t I have no passion for him."
It may bo a surprise to learn that
Dickens is Galsworthy 's favorite. To
appreciate Dickens we must be able
to laugh at the faibles and follies of
human nature ; we must be able to
laugh at ourselves. Dickens doesn 't
wish to convince us. No artist ever
does. He wants to think as we all
do , and through his thinking make
his book an expression of himself.
Robert Louis Stevenson is another
favorite. As a friend , Galswor t hy
called him the "Playboy of the Western W orld ," a Peter Pan , one who
will never grow up. Using Robert
Louis Stevenson as an example Mr.
Galsworthy noted that writers in
poor health are often the cheerful
writers. Stevenson is a romanticist.
"No one," he said , "has spun a yarn
as Stevenson has and perhaps no one
over will. " "Treasure Island" is one
of his best. It is told merely for the
joy of the telling. "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr . Hyde " is Stevenson at his worst
because he cannot write in a psychological style.
A realist is a writer who stares life
iu the face; a romanticist is one who
looks u pto life. A realist is one
'who turns the soul insid eout' and
this is particularly true of the RusStevenson
sian writers of today.
t ried t o do i t in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde. "
Joseph Conrad is a third favorite
of Galsworthy. He has caught in his
books the menace and grandeur of
t he sea , as in "Typhoon ," "Youth"
and the "Nigger of the Narcissus. "
Conrad was a person al friend of the
Galswor thy 's.
William H. Hudson was given high
praise. He has the forest in his
books , the South American forest.
He loved the birds as they singthrough "Gree n Mansions" and "The
Purple Land. " All of Hudson 's writings are autobiographical. He is an
artist in words.
K at h erine M an sfield , who di e d bu t
two years ago, is another favorite.
Galsworth y considered her as great
as Mr. Hudson. She has successfully
imitated Chekov, a Russian realist.
The lust to bo considered was our
own Mark Twain. His greatness depends upon "Huckleberry Finn " and
"Tom Sawyer," not only because of
his realistic portrayal of boyhood ,
but also because the river flows
through the book , for the two book s
must be considered as one, Mark
Twain is another "Peter Pan. "
In passing the author montionod
Hawthorn e's "Scarlet Lottor " and
Frank Norris ' "McTengue. "
Galsworthy ardently praises the
