NOVEMBER 1940 21 REVIEWS (Continued from Page 17) Always proving herself more than a match for her two brothers, Regina dominates the play. She is triumphant when she blocks their plan for embezzling her husband ' s money, but furious when the husband refuses to reward her efforts by turning the bank ac- count over to her. But Regina is not one who gives up easily. She executes her final stroke when she kills her husband by denying him medicine which would have saved his life. By this crime, she ruins not only her own life but the lives of her family, and the play ends in disillusionment. Moral: If you think your kid brother is a pest, you oughta see Regina ' s! M. D.

We have read of them in the pages of our history books, we have seen motion pictures dealing with their wander- ings. And now we have the greatest single document about this hardy people ever presented. As you read chapter after chapter of Children of God, you will meet the fiery Lion, Brigham Young; Joseph Smith, dreamer of dreams; and Nephi McBride, hard realist. You will witness the unending persecution of a religious group in a free country. You will see two great cities emerge as a testimonial to their faith, and you will see the fall of these cities as a testi- monial to human weakness. From the pen of Vardis Fisher, the great men and women of the time will come to life, as real and vibrant as ever they were, hurling defiance at an un- believing world and at the soldiers sent to take their city from them. You will see not only these great characters, but the stuff that lay behind them, the stern, tough fiber, that gave thousands courage to brave desert and swamp, heat and cold, to preserve the convictions and ideals that they held to be true. Children of God is a tremendous denouement of the nearsighted callowness of the time; it is a trib- ute to the Mormon people, and the voicing of an un- dying faith in the future. Read it, by all means. M. D. ' 42 OUR ADVERTISERS American Optical Co. Ames Worsted Co. Barnard ' s Service Station George E. Bastien Bon Marche Store Boston Store Bousquet ' s Auto Shop R. M.

20 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY THE OBSERVATION PLATFORM Mary Dirlcim Perhaps the most surprised people in Wells were the Dramatic Club officeis and their adviser when more than one hundred hopefuls turned out for the usually conservative meeting. It appears the officers had done a little canvassing on the side — Unfair to organized students are the tantalizing odors that emerge from the kitchen every noon Bouquets to a member of the senior class, Ray- mond Downer, who exhibited astounding bravery when attacked by a savage squirrel at the Yale Stadium recently — Miriam Renaud may De seen at any corner lately, winding endless balls of pole blue yarn — What blonde sophomore in what geometry class is the bone of a math teacher ' s life? — The Freshmen aren ' t doing so badly this year, and if pianists Prahm and Suprenant, not to mention soloist Warren Sarty, are any indication of this prowess, we may expect much — Bright red sweaters are very much in evidence now, a nice trio being those of Mary Ann Hazelton, Gert Bouvier, and Marjorie Hobson — And after seeing our football team go through their setting up exercises on Dresser Field, we sug- gest that they drop the undignified sport and go in for ballet — That ' s all One day JOHN ' S (on ' 41 ) aunt, who was very RICH (ards ' 42) and very CROSS C44) asked him to take her dog for a WALKUnshaw ' 42). She warned him to take GOOD (win ' 42) care of the pup, which was WHITE (oak ' 41) and loved to WAG (ner ' 42) his tail. John trotted along with- out any FEAR (ing ' 44). After a while he came to an OAK (er ' 44) tree. There he found a piece of charcoal. He DREW ( ' 41 ) on the WALK (er ' 44) a picture of his teacher, who weighed a (Nor) TON C44) and had a GREEN (e ' 43) (Crock) FORD ( ' 41 ). John, engrossed in his sketch, did not notice that the dog had run away, but when he did, he was TRU (e) ly ( ' 44) frightened and got MORE (y ' 41 ) so when he had done all in his POWER (s ' 41 ) to find the rascal. He heard a commotion in someone ' s yard but it was only a HOG (an ' 42) with a (Camp) BELL C43) tied around his neck. He met a MAN (nie ' 41 ) in a moving VAN (tura ' 41 ) who said he had seen a dog DOWN (er ' 41 ) the street. The little CHAP (man ' 41 ) kept on gallantly and was (West) WELL C43) rewarded at the end of his search. Wells expects a lot of these Freshmen to keep up with their families.
