modern time-Vivian Martin. who
plays the leading feminine role in
Just Married" coming to the Au-
gusta Opera House on Wednesday
night direct from long run in Bos-
ton, has discovered from a twice-a =
day scanning of her afternoon audi
ences.
1--WE recall the matinee girl of yes
terday," she says. she ate pounds
and pounds of chocolates while she
thrilled over. some romance of a
dream country. l have had occasion
to follow that girl into her private
life. Wherever l found her I discov-
cred that she was all but impossible
in her real life. She did not take
any interest in the daily tasks and
the things Of modern life meant very
little to her. She preferred a life
of novels and late arisings whenever
they were possible. Usually it took
her from one year to five to get over
herself
"The modern matinee girl is most
interested in modern plays. She likes
love stories, but love stories that
mean something to her, that have
some basis in modern fact and life
They serve to help her solve her own
problems and they keep her heart
in modern life.
The modern matinee girl, l have
found, is interested in life itself
Since she sees only modern plays she
does not loathe modern surroundings
The modern play keeps her rather
in touch with modern home things
She is generally an expert cook and
not merely of the chatting dish vari-
ETY.. She longs for and appreciates
true love and she does not demand
the Economically impossible Of life
or of her fiance. She is potentially a
good housewife and is helpful to her
mother if she lives at home.
Il think she would rather despise
the old matinee girl as a useless and
selfish crea ture. and l do not believe
that this modern type will ever again
be replaced by the former type. Art

gan at Bowdoin college, April 16,

liam l.. WeStermann of Cornell Uni
vcrsity, Professor Robert II. Lord of

The closing day attracted moro

| AT the close of the Institute Pres.
| Kenneth c. NJ. Stills suoke briefly
regarding the work that had been ac-
| complished, his remarks being as fol-
| lows:
President SiI's Remarks
In bringing to formal close the
Institute of Modern History I desire
| IN the first place to express the
thanks of the college to the DEPART
ment of history for arranging so in
teresting and stimulating a program:
to the distinguished scholars and
and publicists who have put us so
greatly under their debt. not only for
their professional services in the lee
lures and conferences but for the
| generosity with which they have
given of their time and experience
to many informal crops on the cam
pus: and also to the press for the
excellent reports and comments con-
| corning the Institute so that we
have been able to reach a public far
beyond our own academic halls.
The Institute has been a contri-
button to the idea that in these
United States of ours we must fave
a more intelligent attitude toward
international | problems. 1t has
brought out that there can be a very
effective cooperation between the
academic world and the world of
public affairs. There has been too
much of the feeling on the part of
the public in genera that colleges
and college men take too academic
an attitude on public questions.
There has been on the part of COL
loce men the suspicion that too many
Mcn in public life axe actuated only
