ROLLINS - N. CAROLINA IN PUBLIC DEBATE Debating teams representing Rol- lins College and the University of North Carolina will argue the mu- nitions problem before a public audience in the Annie Russell The- atre at Rollins Friday night, March 22, at 8-.15. Rollins will uphold the affirmative position of the ques- tion, "Resolved, that the nations should agree to prevent the inter- national shipment of arms and mu- nitions."

An account of the high lights of the Institute of the Church and World Peace and Model Session of the League of Nations held at the College this week will be given in next week's issue of Winter Park Topics. Jeannette Vreeland, soprano, of New York, will give a concert at Rollins College Saturday evening, March 30, as the last performance in Miss Annie Russell's profession- al artists series in the theatre. Jeannette Vreeland was born in Denver, Colorado, and received her entire artistic education in this country. She has been called "a first class example of the fact that America now has the best of teach- ers as well as the best of talents." As the daughter of a business man, she should, by all story-hook accounts, have had her musical am- bitions strongly discouraged. But ag'ainst all the precedent of fiction Mr. Vreeland took a strong' inter- est in his daughter's musical pro- pensities and encouraged and aided her at the beginning of her career, Although the possessor of a nat- urally beautiful soprano voice, Miss Vreeland wisely made no profes- sional appearances until after she had gone through a thorough course of study. Percy Rector Ste- phens, one of this country's most prominent voice teachers, heard her in Denver and was so im- pressed with the beauty of her voice that he encouraged her to come to New York to pursue her studies, In 1921 Miss Vreeland be- came Mrs. Percy Rector Stephens. Miss Vreeland made her first professional appearance in Jami- ary, 1922, and scored s^^ch a suc- cess that numerous engagements were booked for her the remainder of that season. Her subsequent rise was rapid but from first to last every success she made rested upon a solid foundation of ability and preparation. Her ever increas- ing popularity and reputation is earnest of the still greater fame forecast by all who have heard her. DRAMATIC READING BY MRS. EVERTS TUESDAY The program for Tuesday eve- ning, March 26, in the Congrega- tional Church will be a dramatic reading by the distinguished ac- tress, writer and lecturer, Kath- erine Jewell Everts. Mrs. Everts has taken important roles with Otis Skinner and other leading ac- tors. She founded the Drama School at Dana Hall, and now has a drama school of her own in Ver- mont, Mrs. Everts is the aunt of Miss Katherine Ewing, the gifted instructor in the Drama Depart- ment of Rollins College. The pub- lic is assured an evening of de- lightful and artistic entertainment.

"THE RIVALS" ENJOYEDBY FULL HOUSES

JOHN HOUSTON'S PLAYTO BE BROADCAST

The production of "The Rivals"by the Annie Russell Companyadded fresh laurels to the manyfine dramatic achievements of ourWinter Park players. With MissRussell directing1 the performanceand adding her great talents to thecast which drew heavily upon theleading players we have at Rollins,it was to. be expected that Sheri-dan's celebrated old comedy wouldscore its usual hit. The accom-plishments of the cast, however,were fully supplemented in all ofthe other departments that arenecessary to a completely success-ful production. The scenery, prop-erties, costumes, music had all beenskilfully and effectively assembledand there was a notable finish tothe performance in every detail.

Miss Russell was most gorgeous-ly gowned as the overpowering-Mrs. Malaprop and her astoundingcommand of English brought thehouse down several times. Espe-cially effective in their parts wereBuel Trowbridge as the bluff SirAnthony and Earl Fleischman asthe Captain. Dick Shattuck as SirLucius was well in the part with-out a shade of staginess. MissEwing- was amply languishing invoice as well as pose, a part inwhich we wished we might haveseen Miss Russell in the old Broad-way days. The Bob Acres of Ear-nest Kilroe suggested the countrysquire if a trifle weak in voice. Itwas a pleasure to note that thetheatre demonstrated its goodacoustic properties by the very ex-cellent elocution given by some ofthe cast. Where the voices wereprojected with effective dramaticdelivery there was no difficultywhatever in understanding everyword.

The keen interest in the letter ofMv. Andre Smith in regard to anexhibition of Modern Art whichwas published in Winter ParkTopics continues to inspire dis-cussion at the various gatheringplaces. Many letters have been re-ceived for publication answeringMr. Smith and we print herewithsome of them. Our limited spaceand our obligations to the otherinterests of our readers deter usfrom printing long communicationsand we urge our correspondents tobe selective, in other words, briefand to the point. "Brevity is thesoul of wit."

To the Editor ofWinter Park Topics:

In answer to a recent article ofyouthful revulsion toward the artof ages past as exemplified in theKress exhibition, I beg to plead forsome slight appreciation of the"dead" art. I t would seem thatnot only those residents of WinterPark "with one foot in the grave,"but also a few of us, both of whosefeet rest securely upon the ground,do not feel in the least supercil-lious toward those masters of thepast. We do not find those mag-nificent and glorious colors—evenwith the label modern unattached,unpleasing to the eye. We wonderif in perhaps four hundred yearsthe colors now being put on can-vas, most of them applied withoutregard to the chemical constituentsand reactions one upon the other,will have left any hue whatsoever,

Those masters like Giotto whomade canvas vibrate with rhythm,harmony and light, made vividtheir message of grand spiritualrealism. I do not quite understandthe message of modernism—someof them rather pride themselves onhaving no message. I am quiteconvinced that many of their ex-otic fabrications would just melt inwith the luxuriant fauna and floraof this land—Matisse apples andFlorida oranges!

We might even welcome the"Nude Descending the Staircase"and get a real thrill out of all theangles. Perhaps, even to those "be-ginning to die," it might take theplace of that fountain of youth notyet discovered; and then again, Rol-lins. How we should hate to think

of those students so "buried in thepast" with no modern outlook andfavored only with "dead yester-days" to guide them. Think ofthem being so hampered with onlyTintoretto, Giotto, Rembrandt orLeonardo for inspiration! Unthink-able!

Respectfully submitted,DOROTHY CLEVELAND KING,Winter Park.

r

To the Editor ofWinter Park Topics,Sir:

My attention has been called, bythe almost unanimous clamor ofthe local cognoscenti, to the seriesof letters, signed by Andre Smithof Maitland, which have been givenspace recently in your admirableand interesting periodical; refer-ring to the recent exhibition ofItalian paintings of the TrecentoQuattrocento, and the Cinquecentoperiods of Renaissance art, loanedby Mr. Samuel H. Kress to RollinsCollege, and exhibited at the Wom-en's Club of Winter Park.

It seems that Mr. Smith objectsto the exhumation of dead Masters,even by the proxy of their works,and feels that Rollins Collegewould be better occupied in spon-soring exhibitions of the modernmasters (such as M. Smith?).

His argument, if such it can becalled, irresistibly reminds one ofa passage in Ouspensky's "TertiumOrganum," in which the giftedRussian endeavors to make clearto us three-dimensional creaturesjust how the universe must appearto creatures who are cognizantonly of two dimensions—length andbreadth, but not of thickness.

Ouspensky suggests that to suchan imaginary creature of two di-mensions, the revolution of a wheel,entering and passing through histwo-dimensional plane universe,must appear as a series of specialand complete creations, each con-sisting of a section of the wheel.Thus, if the section of the wheelconstitutes a square; the two-di-mensional creature, observing therevolution of the wheel throughhis plane-surface universe, seesonly a sequence of squares, with-out precedent and: without essen-tial post-cedent.—To him, the per-fect "art" of his period is the flatsquare, rather than the cube orthat continuity of curved cubeswhich constitutes the wheel to ourthree-dimensional senses.

Now, suggests Ouspensky, con-ceive . . . you three - dimensionalcreatures . . , that there is, in-deed, at least a fourth dimension,which . . . as Einstein has, later,confirmed . . . suggests itself tous three-dimensional creatures asTIME. Then, he begs, can you notsee that to us, an event which isapparently (when viewed from thefourth dimension) CONTINUOUSand essentially ONE, may seem, toa creature limited to only three di-mensions, to be a series of specialand complete creations, the latestof which may well appear to be notonly the peer but the superior ofall that have preceded it ?

Just so, it seems, Mr. AndreSmith looks upon Modern Art.

He sees in it all the past, PLUS;and he discerns no valid reasonwhy the art of the past possesses,further, any interest or value tothe modern student of art.—Let

this student regard only the workof Modern Masters (such as M.Andre Smith?) and he will seetherein the culmination of all theart of the past, PLUS . . . M. An-dre Smith!

There is an iota of truth in theviewpoint, as there is in all view-points; but, must it not be clear, atleast to those students of art whohave no personal (and perhaps fi-nancial) propaganda to serve, thatone may understand the presentstate of any human enterprise mostclearly and most quickly by sur-veying the various steps in tech-nical and artistic knowledge whichhave led to the "perfection" of thepresent, and which will lead, inev-itably, to the infinitely greater"perfection" of the future?—"Per-fection" must be seen, in fact, asa three-dimensional term . . , theperfect "square," which is, in fact,merely a passing segment of a con-tinuously progressive unity.

There is no building without afoundation . . . a fact which thepresent generation of painters,poets, and even of politicians seemsdetermined to deny . . . and a knowl-edge of the foundation is certainlyas essential to the practical knowl-edge even of the youngest andmost modern student, as is a raptappreciation of today's topmosttower.

—May one, respectfuly, commendthis viewpoint to M. Andre, theMaitland iconoclast, and to yourreaders ?

Very truly yours,CHEM.

Editor Winter Park Topics:In your issue of March 9th Mr.

Andre Smith makes a plea that wehave, or try for, Modern Art in-stead of the Kress Collection. Whynot both, if we can get them? Isthere any chance of anybody giv-ing us a collection of modern paint-ings? If so, lead me to him! Iam intensely interested in paint-ings, of today, even so-called "Mod-ern" abstract oddities of which oneliterally cannot make "head ortail;" but I can also gaze with afeeling of awe and reverence at thework of those amazing Florentineswho enrich our lives by their mas-terpieces of beauty of line and col-or, and perfection of design. I can-not but feel that the youth of to-day may well pause and gaze uponsuch lovely canvases as were to beseen here in February,

Soon after "Spoon River Anthol-ogy" was published, a college youth,in my hearing, heard Edgar LeeMasters quoting Swinburne, lov-ingly, giving the magic of theword sounds as if he knew them

well. The bumptious youth criedout, "You, to quote Swinburne!"and hurtled a particularly roughpassage of Masters' own, as itwere, in rebuttal. Masters turnedupon him a cold eye; "Young sir,"he said, "I know my Swinburne,and I know my other great poets,and if I hadn't, maybe I nevercould have found out how to saywhat I want to say now—Isn't allbeauty precious ?" The wise wordscame back to me as I read Mr.Smith's letter. Doubtless he wouldbe the first to acknowledge thebeauty and value of some of theseold pictures. Where I take issuewith him is in his implication thatthey are moribund. And where Itake very violent issue with him isthat I (in the plural) have comehere to die. On the contrary Ihave come here to live, because Ifind living particularly rich andenjoyable in this town of sunshine,literal and figurative; where oth-ers, like myself, have put behindthem the sturm and drang of en-deavours for civic betterment, orbringing up a turbulent family, orwhatever caused them sleeplessnights, and are now prepared atlast, to enjoy life. To die indeed!Have I not hopefully set out anumber of young orange trees,from which I propose to eat thefruit, with my own teeth?

But to return to pictures. Ihave visited the museum at Sara-sota where there is much to ad-mire; I have also spent many chillyhours on the stone floors of theUffizi and the Pitti galleries try-ing1 to get proper thrills and feel-ing guilty that I didn't.

I have also sat alone in sometiny church by the wayside beforeone beautiful picture placed whereit was meant to be, above the altar,and felt a sense of the everlastingpower of art to enable and enrichour lives.

Is it the word: Museum that af-frights us—those great tombswhere row on row of masterpiecesawait us? We can see an appall-ing vista, mile on mile. We sighas we start, and pray that our legswill last till we have "done" themall.

Here is a thought—Why not, in-stead of collections in Museums,which invariably suggest death,put these lovely pictures of livingArt—f or if real they are immortal—each one by itself in a church, ora school, or, if suitable, a townhall, let us say; where it will be atreasure to be lived with; where itsbenign influence of beauty willshed its light on the life of everyday? Is this idea fantastic or isit sense?

Yours truly,MARY ALDIS.
