Arty and Cmfzir Clare-Upx This is Rondack's Arts and Crafts Bunk, boys. I hope we won't have to take the door off its hinges to get your special technicolor camera into the bunk, Bob. Careful, now! Okay. Bring the camera over here. The first picture I Want is one of this painting on glass that Mildred Wolff made. Be sure you get that cleverly blended red and gold background, see how effective it is where the sun strikes the red fire coming out of the green dragor1's mouth? That's especially important. Oh, hereis another painting on glass, Judith Weiss, silhouette of a girl in a swing. 'We certainly want that. Swing your camera around this Way, Bob, so that we can get a shot of Fay lVIerson's modernistic cigarette-box and Barbara Bersohn's pewter candy-dish. How about a snap of Lucille Perlstein's leather cushion and Nanette Chan- kin's leather writing-portfolio? They're both so well done. We really need a close-up of them. I Wish We could use pictures of everything in here, but we'll just take a group-shot of these silver bracelets that Virginia Rosencrans, Isabel Schlifman, Carolyn Wolff, Shirley Greene, and Frances Block made and then welll have to go. Better take a close-up so that you can get those monograms and initials into the picture, Bob. Okay, boys, be careful of the camera as you move it out. Say, Won't we get some Fine scenic effects when we develop these? 49

fBzmz, Fire, fBzm2 ,A Serial Flicker in Eight Epirooief Episode 1 of 'Burn, Fire, Burn' linds Beulah Davidson as David strumming on her harp to the tune of 'Little David, Play on Your Harpf Jeanne Tannenbaum as Goliath prepares for battle and Camp Rondacl-: as a whole sighs contentedly and prepares to enjoy this and the following campfire episodes of a most enjoyable serial. Episode 2 starts with the Ron and .Daclc Teams marching in and viewing with bated breaths the pinning of names to the totem poles. lVIabel's and Ruth's messages are heard and old campers sing team and camp songs while the new campers begin to understand, revere, and love Rondack traditions. Episode 3 goes from the sublime to the ridiculous as Bunk A holds a cowboy camphre of dances by Ruth Landesrnan and original songs of camp life. The cow- boy games prove highly diverting. Episode 4 takes us to the land of the Redman where with great solemnity songs, poems, and stories are told by Bunk B. Then Rondack goes to bed to dream of tepces, Indian blankets, and feather head-dresses. Episode 5 transports Camp Rondack to the jungle to the beat of tom-toms and the droning of Vachel Lindsay's 'The Congof A jungle story is told and American games are played. Episode 6 shows Robin Hood and his Merry Men in Lincoln Green telling stories, playing new games and singing songs that are strangely familiar to modern, American Camp Rondack. The next episode brings to the 'Rondack campfire the ragle-taggle gypsies. We hear old gypsy songs and legends and forecasts of Rondack destinies. The last episode of 'Burn, Fire, Burn' marks the close of team competitions. The totem poles are burned and the hatchet is buried. Soft voices sing 'Rondack The Camp We Love' around the last camphre of 193sl. 48
