Yvette Guilbert.

Yvette Guilbert, who appears at the
Belasco Theater Tuesday and Thursday
afternoon of next week. gave on the
occasion of her visit here last season
one of the finest programs of it's kind
ever heard in this city.
Her art is proof against description. it
is simply the art of Yvette Guilbert. With
out explanations or translations the mean
ing of her songs is made clear to those
who do not understand French by the
infections of her voice, her expressi We
hands, the never ceasing commentary of
her countenance. and in 4 dozen other
ways. She is called "diseuse" and is
something of A singer in that she pos
sesses the gift of emotional vocal por-
trayal. She is an actress except that she
does not ilnpersonate her character She
is pantomimist except that there is no
stock conventional gestures in all the
range of her mimic gestures. The art of
costuming also enters in. Nine. Guilbe,t

Cup Awarded at Princeton

brother of Johnnie Poe. presented the
trophy, with these remarks:
The cup which is about to be awarded
has a three-fold significance
at owes its origin to one of the strong
est forces in life-a mothers love for Il
devoted son. 1t is given in memory Of one
whose loyalty and devotion to Princeton
were an ail-absorbing passion. 1t is now
to be gwen TO one who, in the opinion or
these FULLY qualified to judge. best ex-
i, emplifles among Princeton's underg:adu
ate foot ball players those qualities that
command the admiration and respect OF
the world.
Il like TO think that the conditions Of
the award appeal especially to Princeton
men. and though apparently onerous. are
readily within the reach of a majority OF
our athletes. The underlying idea, OF
course is true manlness, real nobility OF
character and an answering resolution to
overcome all obstacles. no matter how
great the personal effort or sacrifice. in
order that Princetons interests may be
advanced. Although victory and sue
cess Will inevitably eventually ensue.
they are almost of secondard impor-
/! tance. The main consideration is the
development of a determination to fight
Tor the cause that we know to be right.
and to fight until that cause triumphs
without for moment holding back be-
cause of any possible cost to us.
This is peculiarly pertinent in con-
nection not only with Princeton foot
the national crisis through which we
are now passing. Each situation de-
mands loyalty, devotion and sacrifice of
the highest kind and of the purest type.
The one in whose memory this cup
is presented, along with many others.
never faltered when the call came. and
know that every Princeton man is
prepared likewise to respond when
summoned by either his alma mater or
mis- country.
1T is now my great pleasure and
privilege on behalf, of my mother to
present this memorial cup to the one
whom the board of athletic control has
selected as most worthy of the gift.
Mr.. Gennert. you richly deserve it, and
may your example be an inspiration to
those who are still to follow"
MIR. Poe's eloquent remarks were a
splendid prelude to the quiet reply of
the athlete in accepting the honor. a
reply which implied the finest of trib-
utes to the memory of the Poe all
Princeton reveres. In the simplicity of
the reply lies its strength. and in the
desire to emulate. its tribute:
The man in whose memory this cup
has been given was in his life and in
his death an inspiration to the young
men of the nation. 1t will be my am
bition to be in some small part worthy
of that memory
