LONGLEAF PINE TESTED
AS PRODUCER OF PULP
Valuable in Manufacture Of Light
weight Brown Wrapping Papers,
the Experts State.

That longleaf pine treated by the
sulphate process and properly handled
will give excellent kraft pulps and
papers. especially the very strong and
very tough. lightweight brown wrap
ping papers. is the conclusion reached
by the Department of Agriculture after
a series of tests to determine the
woods possibilities as a source of pulp.
This conclusion is Of significance at
this time. because war has cut off the
German supply to this country. The
high specific gravity of the wood and
the resultant high yield of pulp per
cord. says the department in a recent
ly issued bulletin, give longleaf pine
an advantage possessed by few other
commercially important woods suitable
for pulp making.
Tested by Forest Service.
The tests were made at the forest
service laboratory and were of two
Kinds. those to determine the effect of
varying the cooking conditions in the
sulphate process, and semi commercial
tests carried on by both the sulphate
and the soda process. The sulphate
process was found to be superior to

this situation of affairs is plausi-
BILE one; whether the influence and ef-
fectiveness of the association would
not be greatly extended by the adop-
ton of some scheme whereby these
parts could be assigned to their prop
er sex. and whether such a course, pre-
senting obvious difficulties as 1t does.
cannot eventually be approved by
those IN charge of drama tics at Yale,
are questions which must be argued
elsewhere.
The suggestion is not, however, to be
interpreted In any way to signify dis
appreciation of the individual acting.
The young men played their parts un-
cannily well-indeed, to the best of
masculine ability-and their cleverness
is not to be minimized. But the illu-
sion was incomplete.
Four Playlets Are Given.
Following the success of last years
program, the association continued the
same type of work in selections for
this year. Four playlets were given.
ranging from 1aughabbe travesty to
grim tragedy. And, of the four. three
are the products of Yale pens. All
were well worth the effort which had
evidently been devoted to their pro-
duction.
Mr.. jerks play. THE Stranger"
stands out from this trio. Only eleven
minutes elapse between the rising of
the curtain on the shadowed and chill
interior of a poverty-Stricken peasant
hut and its fall, but into this eleven
minutes was condensed story of grim
tragedy, effective in its simplicity.
1t is the story of the stranger, mur-
dered by his starving father, who does
not know him, for the money he brings
as a gift; and of the mother, who
knows when it's too late-and will
keep the secret. There is no line spoken
which is not heavy with Significance.
Mr.. Jenks has produced a work of real
literary merit, strongly resembling the
best products Of Irish dramatiSts. The
obvious ending toward which the situa-
tion has been working with hammerlike
strokes is completely changed in the
last five lines of the play, and by the
effectiveness of this peripetia the whole
is changed from commonplace though
sordid tragedy to work of meretri-
cious originality.
The opening playlet, Behind the Be-
yond," adapted from the work of Ste
phen Leacock by J. r. Crawford. Is a
1aughable piece of travesty upon the
superannuated emotional play" deal
ing with the sadly twisted problem pre-
sented, a mother who deserts her hus-
band for her unknown stepson. The
exposition is amusingly handled by the
expedient of comments, sympathetic
and otherwise, from mimic stage boxes.
Mr.. Tuttle's play. est. BartholomeW's
Eve" seems to lack the strength of the
other plays, yet the action flows
smoothly to a graceful ending. Clever
stage effects and gorgeous costumtng
carried the play, abetted by the acting
of H. P. Faulkner.

Satisfactory Ghost Story.

The fourth play, 1.-The Ghost Of Jerry
Bundler," written by w. W. Jacobs and
Charles Rock, was satisfactory ghost
story. Perhaps it was a combination Of
the effective setting and the fact that
only masculine impersonation was re-
auired of the actors. which caused this
play specially to grip the audience dur
allowed nervous laughter in situations
calculated to allow this outlet to strained
nerves. 1t was a performance really pro-
fessional in it's effect.
From the high level of acting of the
Yale men, three individuals seem to stand
out-H P. Faulkner, who played Henri,
Due d'Anjou, in the romance; R Wilson's
portrayal of the mother in the tragedy
and d. o. Hamilton's Interpretation of the
impassioned woman in the travestied
problem play" These three brought to
their parts the east and surenuess Of the
professional stage. They played them
without self-consciousness or super1uous
emotionalism.
All the young men really brought to
their parts a keenness for Interpreting
the psychology of the personages they
portrayed, and the ability to get this in
depreciation "over" was due as well to in
1ividuaI talent as to the training of Edgar
NJ. Wooley, the graduate coach Of the as
sociation, to whom is due the credit for
the admirable stage effects and illusive
disposition of the actors throughout the
performance.
The Yale Dramatic Association seems
to be doing excellent work for it's uni
yerSity.
