RESUME AND FAREWELL

FRENCH CRITICISM

The football season was, we believe, one of the most
successful of any of the banner seasons of past years.
Not from the standpoint of games won, however, but
from a standpoint of the spirit shown by the team and
by the student body. And because of this? we mention
fllr. Harry Gamage as having made one of the outstanding contributions of the year to the morale of the
University. In basketball, baseball, track and in tennis,
University men played with the same gallant spirit that
characterized their playing in the other sports, so in
the field of athletics The Kernel is very happy to observe that the University as a whole has shown a
marked improvement. This, because games were played
for the sake of the game and not for the sake of winning.
But all of this is "athletically" speaking and now we
cast our eye on the social whirl as recorded by jazz
orchestras and by fraternities and sororities. It may
be that we are only blase but it seems to us, nevertheless, that there has not been the usual number of
dances andteas given this year. The collegiate world
seems to be awaiting a new (game. So we conclude
that, "socially" speaking, the University was a bit languid.
Anent other things. This year saw the appearance
of the first literary magazine on the campus. "Letters," while not supported by the student body as it
deserves to be supported, has nevertheless been successful. Certainly, its content has been exceptionally
excellent and its contributors have been prominent in
their respective fields. The editor of the magazine,
Prof. E. F. Farquhar, deserves the greatest of praise.
His ambition to make it a statewide publication and
eventually a national one, will, we believe, be realized
if the University, the faculty and the student body
give that support and cooperation of which the editor
The Kernel takes what it hopes is
is so badly in need.
a pardonable pride in the fact that "Letters" was promoted by it and is also sponsored financially by this
paper.
The University has, as in past years, steadily improved in dramatics with the Romany theater and the
Strollers giving to Lexington some excellent plays. In
this connection The Kernel desires to praise Prof. Carol
M. Sax for making it possible for two local playwrights
to have their plays produced. It is a source of regret
for us to learn that Romany may be discontinued.
One of the organizations that has contributed greatly
to the life of the University this year is the Pan
club. Bringing to us, as it has, men of different
nationalities, this club has greatly widened our understanding and has contributed in no small manner to
the cultural side of University life.

In things musical, what with the University band,
orchestra, the two glee clubs, the Messiah, and the concerts arranged by Miss Anna Chandler Goff, we have

one questions whether or not these things have been
entirely appreciated.
Of visiting celebrities, the University has had its
share. There are Will Rogers, Lindbergh, Clarence Dar-roZona Gale, Princess Kropotkin, and George Russell.

Concerning the general attitude of the student body,
been more than unusually lethargic, sleepy, in
fact. We note :n this respect that a very small minority were present at any event of importance that
happened on the University campus and as to arousing them to that state of provocative thinking, the questioning attitude, that has so long been The Kernel's
ambition, we have been ovenvhelmingly discouraged.
Or is it the fault of The Kernel?

it has

Lastly there is our beloved president. We have
come to take him for granted and The Kernel Js at a
loss for more to say in praise of one of the greatest
university executives in America.
The Kernel wishes the seniors a
successful career, the students a pleasant vacation, and
the University as a whole, continued progress.
So now, farewell.

One young cub was asked to take a mat to the press

Bill Glanz had a rather difficult time finding reporters
about 9 o'clock, due to the fact that several of them

A proof reader sent one of the society reporters for

more important events of the year.

"The Heart of a Follies Girl"
Kentucky Today
Billie Dove, reported to be the most
beautiful woman on the silver screen,
dances into the hearts of both her
masculine and feminine admirers at
the head of fifty chorus girls who are
also far from unshapely at the Kentucky the last of this week. The plot
of the colorful film offering seems to
indicate that a chorus girl accepts diamond bracelets in the same spirit
that a stenographer accepts a free
lunch. At any rate, this picture depicts them as ordinary human beings,
as far as possible. Many of the scenes
are delightfully intimate. Larry Kent
plays opposite Miss Dove.
"Circus Rookies" Strand Today
Playing chaperon to a huge gorilla
is the coniical occupation of Karl
Dane in "Circus Rookies," a hilarious
comedy of a romance in a circus,
which concludes the week at the
Strand. Dane plays an animal trainer

THE COLLEGE'S VACATION
Robbed of the sight of sun, with curtained eyes,
Weary, all summer long I've been repining.
Dust on my bannisters unstartled lies,
And at my bolted door, the ivy twining
Strengthens the lock, and prinsons me the tighter
In lonely stillness. Fearlessly expanding

His gray silk net of gossamer, a spider
Veils the grave head of Virgil on the. landing.
Dark are my corridors; unresonant
My dreay walls with ringing laughter haunted.
Silent the stair where youth in sibilant
Discourse, or light refrain, their courage flaunted.
Dreaming and still the streets, the walks unhallowed.
By eager hurrying feet and laughter; only
The poplars sough and wilt. And I am swallowed
In stillness, black, mirth haunted, and twice lonely.

0 young insouciant feet that tread my stair
Year in, year out, and run away unheeding,
Do you remember how I smiled last year
To greet you ?
For I'm old and lonely, needing
How I miss you!
Your careless, noisy patter.
0 laughing feet that romp my hallways over!
How every creaking board of me will kiss you,
When you come back again in dear October.

Looking Over
The Magazines
o

o

(By Joseph C. Graves)
In "Variety" there is a great deal
that will be of interest to those who
enjoy the movies. I seriously recommend this magazine, because of its
interesting comment of the activities
of actors and actresses, and because
it" publishes within its pages some
very intelligent criticism of pictures
and plays. By reading "Variety" one
can avoid a bad movie. In the latest
issue I see that Mr. Al Jolson is making a new picture which is to be called "The Singing Fool." It will be
released by Warner Brothers, and the
Vitaphone will record Mr. Jolson's
"mammy" songs. It promises to be
as good as "The Jazz Singer."
"The Rehabilitation of Whiskey," by
R. H. Towner, in the May issue of
"The American Mercury," should furnish the wets with .plentiful arguments. Mr. Towner argues that when
a thing is forbidden, it becomes popular, a desirable pleasure. By figures
he shows that when whiskey was untaxed and sold at a cheap price, it
was disdained and hardly drunk at all.
He then goes on to prove, using some
very skilful argument, that by prohibiting it the advocates of temperance have unconsciously
made it a
very popular drink. His' most devious
argument is when he compared prohibition with Christianity. He claims
that prohibition is now popularizing
whiskey just as in the early history
of the church, persecution popularized
Christianity. "From Nero to Diocletian" "he writes, "the prohibited Christians of the early church endured
ten prosecutions and flourished
through them all." Thus he argues
that prohibition is giving whiskey the
popularity and publicity that will
make it a famous American drink.
"Whom God Hath Joined Together,"
in the April issue of "Harpers," is an
extremely intelligent inquiry into
Christian marriage. Miss Bromley,
the author of the article, finds a great
deal of fault with marriage as she
finds it, basing her complaint on his
torical knowledge, and the desire to
be reasonable with her subject. She
reveals the fault of ministers and
priests in marrying people who do not
deserve to be married, and in paying
no attention to certain physical fac
tors with which they should deal. She
then turns her argument on divorce,
showing again the unreasonableness
of the church, and the need for intel
ligent understanding of fundamental
principles. Her article is by far the
best in "Harpers," and will prove very
interesting reading.

"The Legion of the Condemned"
Kentucky Sunday
Flying by night flying by day always flying always'fighting. Whose
war was, this anyhow? It was the
Legion's. The Legion of the Damned.
Flying, drinking, cursing, fighting,
loving these glorious warriors flung
the gauntlet into the face of the despised enemy, then "getting their's"
plunging earthward in their journey
"west," Gary Cooper and Fay Wray
rise to the heights in their starring
roles.
"The Garden of Eden"
Strand Sunday
Colorful, romantic material; unique
characterizations; and an adroit mingling of drama and comedy form the
principal ingredients of Corinne Griffith's "Garden of Eden," which comes
to the Strand Sunday. Although the
symbolism of the Bible's birthplace
of man is very cleverly carried out,
the story itself is the very last word
in modernism, the action taking place
in Hotel Eden, just outside of Monte
Carlo. Miss Griffith is cast as a little
cabaret singer who lands in the social
whirl and is temporarily accepted as
a personage whom she is not.
"The Blue Danube" Ben Ali
Sunday
The situation of a girl marrying a
hideous
and scheming hunchback
gives Leatrice Joy just cause for wor
ry in her latest, "The Blue Danube,"
which comes to the Strand theater
Sunday. The plot revolves around a
group of village dwellers on the banks
of the picturesque river, where both
the rich and the poor vie for the attention of the son of royalty. At the
traditional wine festival, the baron
places the honorary wreath upon the
shoulder of an obscure peasant girl.
Then follow treachery and war and
heartbreaks.

The Critics Ink Pot

"In America correct ideas of value are officially established by the crowd." Thus succulently, if none the
less ironically, M. Durtain, popular French author, sums
up the manner in which thought is moulded in the
United States.
He has, to all intent, created an admirable portrait
of us. At any rate the French people, are inclined to
believe so and his late novel in which he aims some
more of his barbed shafts at the great American people
is widely read and laughed over. M. Durtain remarks
that there are "two powers in America: policemen and
He says: "The country is a vast burden de
women."
placement,' which for the American woman comprises
the entire masculine population." "Plasticity is a real
American gift; the European is only agile."
And the French reading, laugh mightily, for all of
this is very amusing and assuredly the American must
be a huge ass. Certainly, we must appear to the
French incredibly fantastic, and the remark above
anent ideas of value being established by the crowd is
not without a great deal of truth.
But we do not need to read M. Durtain's book to
find out about ourselves. Mr. Sinclair Lewis has held
up the mirror to us already. And we object, too, in
being made fun of by outsiders. This ought to be kept
a purely family affair.
