The Man Who Caught the Weather By Bess Sireeter Aldrich Book Review By Geraldine Fox, '37 Ballet Russe By W. De Basil Ballet Beview By Mary Lou Mominoe, '37 -abit 'l' rounds rather odd-'lihe Klan YVho Caught the VVeather-and that is the reason l decided to read it. Then l discovered that it was a collection of short stories by Bess Streeter Aldrich and that the title story was about old lX'Ir. Parline who took an eager interest in the weather. His wife was afraid of storms and old IU r. Parline always stayed with her during them. Mrs. Aldrich told in a very touching manner how, after Mrs. Parline died, her husband stayed beside her grave cvery time it stormed. He felt he always had to protect her. How Far is it to Hollywood ? is a very amusing story of two little girls who pretend they are Greta Garho and Mae lVest. 'llhe hlountains Look on iWarathon tells how .ludge Cunningham relives a day of his boyhood-with humorous results. Altogether there are fourteen stories which Bess Streeter Aldrich tells with the humor, the appreciative understanding, and the real pathos which make every- one love her books. ,OLONEL VV. Ile liasil's Ballet Russe presented four new ballets in the llrluseum Peristyle. April 7. 'llhe dancers made their first appearance in Swan l,akc', a beautiful classical ballet. 'llhe second ballet, The 'llhree-Cornered Hat , was very amusing. A modern ballet, it was more interpretive dancing than toe dancing. The scenery and costumes by Picasso were immediately recognized, and their hril- liant colors and nonsensical groupings added much to the merriment. The dramatic climax came in Spectre of the Rose . A young girl who has just returned from her first ball sits dreaming. The Spirit of the Rose she is wearing visits her, and they dance together. He leaps out of the casement and then she awakens sad and disillusioned. Prince lgor , the linal ballet, had its inspiration in an old Russian epic. 28 THE Scnou.

leisure - The orchestra. under the baton of Antal llorati, added immensely to the beauty and harmony of the ballets. This appearance of the Ballet Russe was the last of their American tour and soon they are to fulfill a performance for the King and Queen of lfngland. N The Seven Last XVords lfulton Sheen has given his readers a book which ranks high among Cath- olic writings today. He has treated each word which our Divine Lord spoke from the pulpit of the Cross separately and has explained its significance with a clarity and beauty that is seldom equalled. These seven words form a sermon, a sermon that will never die because delivered by Christ Himself. He meant these words to be applied not only to those who heard them uttered by His sacred lips but to all mankind and Msgr. Sheen has, in a striking manner, pointed out how they can be applied to our daily lives. The reader will find The Seven Last XVords a hook which may be read over and over and which will reveal hidden thoughts of beauty in each reading. This hook is another proof that lVIonsignor Sheen is one of the outstanding philosophers and writers of today. QTQTRANIJ opera in all its glory makes its appearance in several sequences of lXIaytime , proving that the public wants and enjoys it. The beautiful voices of Jeanette Macllonald and Nelson Eddy were doubtless responsible for the enthusiasm with which it was greeted. Popular classics, including Sweetheart, Sweetheart . and Mon Ami were equally well sung. Jeanette blacllonald first appears made up so real- istically as an old lady that many did not recognize her. A young friend, choosing between a career and mar- riage, comes to her for advice. To help her decide llliss Nlacllonald tells the story of her life.
