Mysterious Night A star is mirrored in the lake, One solitary diamond from some pirate's loot, And moonbeams slowly o'er the mountain fall, Enveloping the trees in mystery. -Eleanor Roericb Backstage On Opening Night By Callaryfz C. George FTER walking down a long, dark, quiet alley, I come upon the stage entrance. At last I have reached my destination. After a cheery hello to Mr. O'Brien, the stage door-man seated in the outer ofhce, I open the inner door and a gust of warm air blows on my face. Shouts of laughter and talking issue from every direction. A. blaze of lights welcomes my arrival as the huge spotlights are being placed in their positions for the first scene of the season's newest play. I try to cross over to the center of the stage, but I am stopped by two burly men who are occupied in moving a large piece of scenery. It seems as if no one is idle. Everyone is bustling with excitement. As another piece of scenery is being moved toward me, I run over to a quiet corner where I can observe everything unnoticed. From this point of vantage I can see the various dressing rooms. The more brilliantly painted ones belong to the principals in the cast. As the doors open occasionally to admit a maid with gayly-colored costumes, l can catch a glimpse of the glamorous people who occupy them. Once more I am obliged to move as a massive cabinet is pushed near my corner. This time I approach-the door of the leading lady's dressing room, for I know I shall be undisturbed there. I breathe a sigh of contentment as I smell the grease paint, for I am a true lover of the theatre. Suddenly quiet reigns as the door near me opens. Miss Brownlee comes forth. She is a woman of medium stature and rather plain-looking for the glamorous roles she portrays on the stage. Her one striking feature is her rich auburn hair piled abundantly above her fore- head. She is clothed in a quaint black gown whose plainness is relieved only by a string of pearls suspended from her white neck. All is in readiness as she nears the stage. The stage hands scurry off as the last piece of furniture is placed in position. Miss Brownlee crosses to the center of the stage, and the rustling of programs and conversation in the audience ceases, for she is a majestic figure and demands attention. As she speaks her first lines, a young man joins her. I watch both intently. You may wonder, dear reader, why I, too, am not preparing for the play, but my part is that which many of us portray in real life. I, alas, am Miss Brownlee's understudy. The REFLECTOR - - l- 25

However Nolblie Donne By Gordon R055 Smifla For deeds doe die, however noblie donne, And thoughts of men do as themselves decay, But wise words, taught in numbers for to runne, Recorded by the Muses, live for aye. -Spenser. N SPITE of numerous good points-their good taste, their spirit of independence, their incorruptible principles - our Colonial forbears were not great patrons of the fine arts. Literature, so important to us, had little place in their lives. Libraries-always private-were few and far between, and newspapers were almost as rare. On the page at the left will be seen three photographs of Colonial documents. The lowest one is a typical example of an early American publi- cation, a copy of a Colonial newspaper, dated july 8, 1745. On second thought, it can scarcely be cilled a newspaper , It is only eighteen inches wide when opened. Few papers of these times contained anything of importance. There would be a few extracts from letters, reports from abroad, accounts of local atfairs, and advertisements. Time has made them more or less interesting, but on the date of publication they are said to have been rather dull. Indeed, historians have given the Colonial newspaper a reputation for dullness which I don't think it deserves. The photograph in the middle of the opposite page reproduces a paragraph in the copy of the newspaper men- tioned above. Anyone who read this paragraph, will admit that those were the days when men were men . The two top photographs are of a release, from Lemuel and Mary Parham to XXfilliam Butterfield, for property in the colony of Massachusetts Bay. Only the top and bottom are shown, and the date, which is on the bottom, is january 4, 1756. Notice that it is witnessed by the celebrated leader of the American Revolution, Samuel Adams. It has been well cared for these past 178 years. In its long life it has traveled from Maine to Florida and back again. Wlmo can estimate the value of this document to those involved? Men may have traveled over mountains, through woods, in snow and sleet, to sign this paper. All the people con- cerned in it have long since died, the position of the property is vague, but it certainly isn't in the hands of the heirs of the original owners. These two documents, one once so closely connected with the affairs of the world, the other once so treasured and so valued, have lost all connections with life. They are only interesting relics, only mediums by which we can listen to voices coming to us through the fog of the years, from the days before our nation was born. The REFLECTOR -li 27 I
