Dr. mttist Calls Environment of Irish
Intolerance Stimulating
"Not until Americans hit each other in
the streets over being   Democrat or   Re-
publican   will   they   know   what   it   is   to
be   patriots,"   declared   St.   John   Frvine
Friday evening.    Mr.  Frvine.    Irish nov-
elist   and   dramatist,     began   his   lecture.
"Impressions of My Elders," by describ-
I ing  the   mental   stimulus  of   Irish  intol-
i erance.     With dry  humor he traced  his
I mental   development   in   bigoted   Belfast
land   in   London   under  the   influence   of
I Shaw.   Wells and  Chesterton.    The   lec-
� ture was under the auspices ,.f the Eng-
I lish Club.
"Impressed when a young boy by a
copy of the 'United Irishman,'" said Mr
Ervine. "I announced my intention of be-
coming a Nationalist. My grandmother
gave me two minutes in which to turn
Unionist again. After that I read the
Nationalist newspaper eagerly in secret
places." "Nothing is so good for the mind,"
Mr. Ervine commented, "as to be rear-
ed in an atmosphere of intolerance. The
reason no one in America can tell me
the difference between Democrats and
Republicans is because Americans are
too tolerant."
Tiring of his narrow-minded environ-
ment in Belfast, Mr. Ervine went to
London. He soon came under the influ-
ence of Bernard Shaw, who was able to
voice the profound discontent felt by
Mr.  Frvine and other young  writers.
Contrasts Shaw With H. G. Wells
Shaw, although sixty-three," said Mr.
Ervine, "has the queer youthful flippancy
that always wants to shock old men. We
were drawn to him because he had no
respect for old people or institutions,
but we found after a while we could not
live long on a diet of destructive criti-
cism. We were influenced then by Yeats'
advice to live with our superiors and
avoid our inferiors. The trouble was that
we felt we had few superiors, and those
superiors   didn't   want   to   live   with   us.
So  ue  lived with their books, and  .......

I'lace: The Forbidden City
Time:   First  part  of the present dynasty.
Softly chiming temple bells and dimly
glowing lights lured 1939 into the dreamy
atmosphere of old China last Saturday
night when the Freshmen presented
"Fractured Flowers." a one-act skit, as
a substitute tor  Freshmen Show.
Most of the music, including the mys-
terious harmonies of the curtain song
which gave the keynote of the perform-
ance, was composed by I. Jacobi. who
added to the Eastern setting by keeping
up a continuous accompaniment of in-
terpretative melodies during the whole
skit.
College Allegory Orientalized
The adventures of Ming Tien in the
Forbidden City, where he was scorned
by Da Ming, the Son of Heaven, advised
by the Red Moth Princess, and trained
by the Blue Tiger Princess, formed the
plot of the skit. His love for the dainty
Tiger Princess refused because of her
previous betrothal to the Son of Heaven,
Mi ng Tien went for comfort to t he Red
Moth Princess. The class animal, a magni-
ficent green griffin, was brought in just
in time to prevent the death of Ming
Tien, who was to be executed for steal-
ing one of the paper flowers being made
for the (ireat May Festival.
I. Beaudrias, as the bewitching and
saucy Tuan Fu. was a perfect soubrette
and a lit companion to the majestic Son
of Heaven, realistically interpreted by
P. Knox. J. Richards put personality in-
to the rather exacting and nagging char-
acter of the Red Moth Princess, and H.
Humphries created effectively the shrink-
