...following criticism is very grave. Jeanne Jerrems as Isabelle was pretty, suitably unsure of herself in the rich surroundings, but just a slight bit stiff; Louis Edmonds, as the twin brothers, was good as the calculating Hugo but could probably have made the sheepish Frederic more of a contrast; Dee Victor grated well as Isabelle's unbearably oafish mother; Olive Dunbar overplayed Capulet, the servant with romatic ideas, a little too much; Stanley Jay as the crumbling butler, Laurinda Barrett as the vampish Lady India, and Kilty himself as the money baron, were all excellent...
After Tuesday sociability will be on much more of a grass roots level, but the Summer School administration will provide various opportunities for students who may have flunked the first big test to redeem themselves--or merely for people who like to dance to enjoy themselves. In contrast with past summers, which saw orchestra dances at the Union at an admission charge of about $1.00 per person, this season will feature six Friday evening dances--three phonograph-record mixers and three square dances--at the cost of only 25 cents per head.

But the CRIMSON was not alarmed: "the playing field this afternoon should give ample proof that the men of West Point offer no inherent threat of jingo militarism against the world...
...Houghton Mifflin award, Author Burdick gives a reverse twist to the cozy U.S. sociological convention that coarse, conservative fathers produce sensitive, nonconformist sons. It is a study of Mike Freesmith, whose father was a radical so militant he once smashed the family Christmas tree into bourgeois smithereens. To contrast his old man, Mike determines to become a "big wheeler and dealer." He starts rolling as a clean-limbed, sexually limber nihilist on a surfboard off the coast of South ern California. He is supposed to be getting an education; instead he is educating the English teacher in the arts...
