Ruth Draper Interviewed
Alumni Defeats Varsity
To Give Monologue Here February 16
Because she has created a new genre
of monologues,
"The London Times" called her
the "most accomplished of living
reciters,"
her original character sketches
range from the charwoman to the
debutante,
she sets her stage, builds her scenery and draws her characters in
the imagination of the audience
there are so few original people
in the world.
Ruth Draper, in a Russian kind of
blouse, her dark hair drawn into a
simple knot at the back, her black
eyes vibrant, sat on a low couch, telling Young Boswell of her early interest in monologues. Here was the
woman who could change herself into
any one of a hundred people, not by
magic, as most children think, but
simply by standing on a bare stage
and talking. That is her particular
genius.
Ruth Draper—The monologue is a
development of the average child's
ability to dramatize the scenes of its
own life. My brother and I used to
do them, and so do most childern.
Young Boswell—Most people lose
that childlike quality when they grow
up, unfortunately.
I think it ought
to be developed in children so they
won't lose it.
Ruth Draper—I don't think it can
be taught or developed. It's a terribly personal sort of gift that some
people just have. Its the child's
quality to sink itself in what it is doing. I live my characters so intensly
and respect them so much that they
become real to me, I think Deburau's speech to his son expresses what
I mean. He tells his son that in the
art of acting if you think hard enough
of the person you are trying to portray you are that person. It is intensive thinking. The thought conception of the character is so clear
and the feeling of the setting is so
strong that the voice, the gestures and

of 2!) — 19. The game was Cast and
well played thruout.
Excellent work by Captain Fitzgerald of the Alumni and Breslaw and
Caton for the Varsity featured.
Fitzgerald led his team in scoring
with five goals from scrimmage and
eight from the penalty line. Breslaw
taged two splendid field goals, while
Caton made three spectacular shots
from difficult angles.
The Alumni outplayed the Varsity
from the start.
They passed well
and their defense was strong.
After a minute and a half of playing, Fitzgerald scored two foul points.
He then made a field goal which gave
the Alumni a four point lead, which
never was overcome. Breslaw was
the first to break into the scoring for
the Varsity when he dropped in a
pretty shot from the side of the court.
Fitzgerald added two more foul points

through the Varsity's defense and
caged a field goal. Hornung of the
Varsity made three baskets from the
complimentary line. Link made his
first field goal soon after. Fitzgerald
again toed the free line and dropped
in two shots: Hornung did likewise.
Hathorn tallied from the surface,
while Caton made two neat shots from
difficult angles.
Fitzgerald ended the scoring in the
first half with a shot from the penalty
line. The half ended with the Alumni
leading, 16 to 11.
Hathorn opened the last half with a
shot from the foul line. Hornung
registered three points in rapid succession. He scored a foul goal and

Juniors Promenade at Ten Eyck
Monday evening, February 5, in the Ten Eyck ball room, the juniors
made their debut in the social world of proms, and they made for themselves
a most enviable reputation in this sphere of college activities. What a
jolly, peppy crowd tripped the light fantastic to the strains of Simon's
orchestra. The music was par excellence and absolutely irresistible, and
then as the wee small hours of the morning were dawning the orchestra
abandoned strings and horns and jauntily exercised their vocal chords.
Immediately tired feet scarcely touched the floor in their enthusiastic
response and spirits' that perhaps had

PROFESSOR KIRTLAND'S
COLLEGE STUDIO MAY
REMAIN
Professor Kirtland
tells the News
reporter that he has1 practically finished the photographic groups and specialties for the 1923 pedagogue. We
have seen enough of these prints to
promise an exceptional quality — in
this year's senior annual—granted
that the engravers do their part.
But the professor says that groups
and humorous specialities are not very
interesting to a camera man who
thinks of photographic technique as a
means of art. The advanced workers
in this field will find their hobbies in
landscapes, in genre subjects, or in
the portraiture of interesting personalities. Just now, of course, conditions out-of-doors limit the worker to
portraiture. But good portraiture is
a very complex and facinative study,
with its final success depending on the
operators skill in bringing out and
recording the characteristic moods of
his subject.
We do not recall finer portraits
than Mr. Kirtland's recent studies of
Doctor Richardson. The News suggests that many students and teachers
would be glad to see the " College
Studio " remain in commission. Interested students should seek appointments in Room 111.

CYLINDER,
They Weighed Air—
and Charles II Laughed
|AMUELPEPYSsaysin
his diary that Charles II,
for all his interest in the
Royal Society, laughed
uproariously at its members
"for spending their time only in
weighing of air and doing nothing
else since they sat."
This helps to explain why
Charles has come down to us as
the "merry monarch."
The Royal Society was engaged
in important research. It was trying to substitute facts for the
meaningless phrase "nature abhors a vacuum," which had long
served to explain why water
rushes into a syringe—the commonest form of pump—when the
piston is pulled out.
Denis Papin had as much to do
as anyone with these laughable
activities of the Royal Society.
Papin turned up in London one
day with a cylinder in which a
piston could slide. He boiled water
in the cylinder. The steam generated pushed the piston out. When
theflamewas removed, the steam
condensed. A vacuum was formed
and the weight of the outer air
forced the unresisting piston in.
Out of these researches eventually came the steam engine.
London talked of the scandalous
life that King Charles led, and paid
scant attention to such physicists
as Papin, whose work did so much
to change the whole character of
industry.
The study of air and air pumps
has been continued in spite of
Charles's laughter. In the General
Electric Company's Research
Laboratories, for instance, pumps
have been developed which will exhaust all but the last ten-billionth
of an atmosphere in a vessel.
This achievement marks the
beginning of a new kind of chemistry—a chemistry that concerns
itself with the effect of forces on
matter in the absence of air, a
chemistry that has already enriched the world with invaluable
improvements in illumination, radio communication, and roentgenology.
