Forum Column Poster-makers' Plight Editor, Barnard Dear Madam: I should like to make a for the poster-makers of Barnard, A poster is, presumably, an announcement calculated to, catch the eye of the passer-by. But I defy anyone to sense out of the wild assortment of posters in Barnard Hall. Regardless of how original and striking the 'separate posters may be, the whole effect is nil. Through this disorder, the 'organisations suffer, the college suffers; but the poster-makers suffer most of for their work, unable t6 accomplish its might just as well not have been done. It is rather a personal grudge with me, for too, am one of those unfortunates who can't seem to stop making posters and liking to make them.

But when I spend precious minutes creating one of the things, I should like to feel it would do some good at least, though that looks practically impossible under the circumstances. A red poster fights with the orange one beside it until someone tacks a huge block one over both. think the hardworking poster-makers deserve a little encouragement, in the material shape' of a large new bulletin board, and plenty of individual stands-and plenty of thumbtacks, 'of "course. It may sound silly, but I don't believe there could be a more thankless job than the one I've been talking about. Sincerely yours, E.

R. E. Jones. "HERE AND THERE ABOUT TOWN" Second Balcony An Undesirable Lady Natioml Theatre it- was the return of bee and its accompanying association whici revived Leon Gordon's faith in "ye old school of mellerdrama." Perhaps it wk an excess of that beverag'e which inspire him to write and that conglom eratiori of melodramatic devices, "At Undesirable Lady." We defy point out a single warhorse of the 1890' which the author has overlooked, a mur der trial, a. break for freedom, a lon cabin- in the northern wilds with tht wolves howling outside and a scorching sex entanglement inside.

The playwright seeks to run the ram part of human emotions, stimulation, re pulsion, fear and joy. Browning may have endorsed the principle of a man's reach exceeding his grasp but in this case Mr. Gordon reaches for too much and his grasp falls disappointingly short. He tries our credulity and our emotional capacr ties too much. We not only can't but we refuse to take it.

logic of a theme By "it" we mean th which has. an elderlj Editorial Another Lost Generation? Over a week ago, with conference still a last, hope upon the horizon, when the situation abroad had not yet reached its boiling point, we remarked by way of reminder to ourselves and our readers on the peculiar position in which the members ot the present graduating class find themselves, as the first post-war generation. ''We are the children of the aftermath," we said, "and the inheritors of a lost generation." What may'have been an echo of a far-off contingency has since become an immediate and pressing danger; the lesson of the past has been forgotten, and we in our turn may become another lost generation. We have heard since of the ghoulish wagers placed by Lloyd's of London at the odds of two to one, that there will be another European war within eighteen months, and we have been reminded, that this firm has never yet been wrong. Of course, such a statement would seem to implicate the bankers rather more definitely than anyone might wish to have himself implicated: This, however, is beside the point.

With all the earnestness of which we inexperienced undergraduates are-capable, we want to urge upon you wlio are threatened, the absolute necessity of becoming articulate in self-defense. You college students whose pacifist activities a year or more ago furnished new hope to "mopfactical Utopians" striving to build a sane social order arouse, your, jaded social consciences in prove a final effort to save yourselves. And if you ask me what there is for do we can urge on you the. public and repeated expression of your refusal to be sacrificed to the greed and ambition of capitalistic and "decadent Europe. Nor should you be misled by the earnest protestations of American public leaders-that the coming war will not involve us.

A few more Nazi attacks on American, citizens traveling in Germany, will make us as blatantly anti-German as we in 1917 the callous jingoism of some qf our yellow journals will complete the devil's work.

Acting honors, in so far as they are be uncontestedly awarded to Lee Baker who undertakes the role of that queer phenomenon, the very, very handsonu lawyer. Edward Leiter, that handsome brute, seems to suscribe to Miss Carroll's theory of "show your profile."

Cinema Ever In My Heart Hollywood Theater-' The German situation.is ever with.us, but it projects a new slant in this cinema concerning the era of that war of a number of years back. "in America; particularly in' 1 the England Section, seems to -have suffered' a considerable amount of antagonism. It is unusual to note the highly sympathetic portrayal of a German to the public of might have-been a successful attempt i direction had been handled with a lighter touch. As it interest is immediately lost by the slowness and heaviness which accumulate as the plot Wends its weary way.

Art Uptown Gallery There is a brand new gallery original West End, and a les original name, the Uptown Gallery. for Milton Avery and A. Baylinson the fourteen artists featured are relatively unknown. Therefore this' exhibi- tipn presents a challange to two types of people--the type that likes to decide her own likes and dislikes without the interference of recognized fame or of other's opinions, and the art sophisticate who has seen most of the modern paintings shown in New York City and finds a change refreshing.

Milton Avery reveals a wide range, ot style and subject in his painting, althougl they lack form and third dimension. His portrait of a "Young Woman" is character revealing and is the most finishec piece of work he has done in this since it combines composition, sensitive color scheme, texture and a directing thought. The three paintings oi Leslie Powell ate truly color experiences His highly emotional work with is dynamic color combinations and interesting form arrangements shows a creative ability which should not rest content with the effective but decorative work it has accomplished. The somber flat color and imple design of the scenes painted bj Jlseph Solomon reveals an interesting if limited style. Unlike the cubists who planes to paint rounded form, A.

Baylinson in his "Nude and Interior" has used planes as a decorative pattern. Of the other paintings, by Don Forbes and all those by Charlie Logasa, are good illustrations of what an essentially academic mind" will do when it tries to go modern, illustrative of the academic painter, interested In subject to the exclusion of almost all other elements that compose a painting is "Boy Lighting a Cigarette" by Forbes which has little more than an appealing sentimental flavor. Likewise all the Charles Logasa's paintings are carefully drawn showing his predominant concern with subject which then varnished by a pseudo-modern technique. The gallery has shown an open-mindedness toward the work of unknown artists and has revealed a pioneering spirit in caving the usual habitat of art galleries, is to be congratulated and one wishes great success.
