town Quarterbacks Club in their
weekly meeting Monday, but in
football that slight difference
counts heavily.
TT may surprise you to learn
said Bierman, that our average
gain per play was greater against
Northwestern that it was against
Iowa. That means but one thing.
We had the ability to gain against
Northwestern but made mistakes
and lacked the determination to
keep driving along. AS soon as we
had made a good gain we relaxed.
But against Iowa, averaging short
er gains throughout the day, we
scored almost at will"
What does that show? Well, II
shows mainly the difference be-
tween effort and lack of effort.
Our boys, shocked by their unex-
pected defeat, simply decided to
play football and kept piling little
advantages on top Of little advan-
tages until they meant something,
until they produced touchdowns."
Bernie explained that he could
sense the new mental attitude in
his boys during the week of prac-
tice. MANY Of them came to me-"
he said, land expressed the hope
that they would be able to get off
the bench the reserves I mean.
They were not complaining but
were merely hoping they'd have a
chance to play. It indicated an
eagerness throughout the squad to
get into action and play some SER
ious football"
II won't say we played over our
heads against Iowa. Rather we
played our normal game while put
ting our best efforts into it." Ber-
ME was asked how he compared
OZzie Simmons of Iowa with other
great halfbacks his team had faced.
His reply was: II believe we have
met a few ball carriers who might
have slight edge on Simmons, but
I said after seeing Simmons in
1884 and 1885 and I say again now,
that he Is the greatest defensive
halfback I have seen in five years
in the Western Conference. He de-
prived us of at least two touch
downs on plays that would have
scored against any other defensive

It is not often followers of anna

theatrical group. Thus it becomes
quite an event when the Black

Tops In
New Revue

Beatrice Lille, is at her best in
the musical holiday, "At Home
Abroad" which comes to the
National Theater, Monday, March
%, for one week only. Bee" Lille,
when supplied with good material,
is enough to give any musical play
abundant distinction.
You may have heard her do
couple of scenes from this musical
show over the radio. But the flavor
and delicacy of Miss Lilies satire
cannot be fully translated. 1t
needs the physical presence; the
bland, boyiSh face; the air Of re-
finement, the crisp, quick panto-
mime; the sudden subtle ungainli-
ness, the suiting of action to the
precise intonation of the w0rd.
You can't exactly translate quail
ties so personal and evaSive either
to the films or the radio. They
have to be conveyed at first hand,
and sensing them is one of the
very special pleasures yielded by
NNOSAAA4AS AG 11OIIlC AUIOdu.
There is plenty in this great
show besides Miss Lille. Ethel
Waters, that delicate and extraor.
dinary colored character singer, is
heard in a number of elaborately
staged ballads.
Herb Williams adds much to the
comedy of the show and Mitzi
Mayfair's dancing is superb.
Reginald Gardiner, a newcomer to
this country, in few months mas
established himself with American
theater-goers as an outstanding
imitator. Paul Haakon, last seen
here with Nine. Jeritza in "An-
Nina" Vera Allen and many others
make up the supporting cast.
"At Home Abroad" with lyrics
by Howard Dietz, music by Arthur
Schwartz and staged by Vincente
Minnelli, represents an exceptional
high degree of wit, intelligence,
beauty and competence in the
field of American music-hall enter
tainment.

ABOUNDs IN MOVEMENT
Only the completely unemo-

will fail to be moved by the stress
and the fervid excitement con-
jured by the lyrical prayers
which mount to wild frenzy as
the primitive Negroes exhort the
undertaken in the saucer funeral
of the second act. But all of this
was present in the play and more
effective, in my opinion. because
the preceding scenes had just a
taste of music.
The degree of success between
''Porgy," the play and "Porgy ana
BeSs," the opera, is the difference
between those who can be emo
tionany stirred by sheer drama
and those who feel music is the
greater medium of art expression.

Shawn Dances
March 20

Ted Shawn. for 20 years a fore
most figure in the dance activ-
tiles in the United States Chis
native country and in foreign
countries all over the world, is
bringing a very unusual new
dance in his program in which
he and his men dancers will par
ticipate at the National Theater
Friday afternoon, March 20, at
4:30 o'clock
The novelty is called "Kinetic
Molpai" and the music for it is
the work of Jess Meeker, who
does much original writing and
also arranging of scores for
Shawn. He also plays them at
the piano during the programs.
It seems, according to Gilbert
Murray, that Molpai was the
ancient art form in which rhyth-
mic movement, instrumental mu-
sic, singing, poetry and drama
all were included. Strife, love,
death. and things beyond death
constituted the subject matter of
ancient Molpai. But, in its es-
sence" according to Mr.. Muir
ray), "it is only the yearning of
the whole dumb body to express
that emotion for which words
and harps and singing are not
enough"
Out of the old Molpai have
come separate arts of drama,
vocal and instrumental music,
poetry and the dance. But it is
still left to the dance today
the modern kinetic outgrowth Of
ancient Molpai, to express through
kinetic values alone, those levels
of consciousness which are be-
yond the power of the other arts.
Reservations for the Shawn
Dancers can be made at the box
office, National Theater.

merely say this: Reuben Mamou,
liam is the real creative star of
"Porgy and BeSS" and not George
Gershwin. Since the same things
which made the Dubose Hayward
novel monumental as a play in
1927, carry the new version
through to such success as it has
attained. In other words, it's not
the music. but the direction.
Incidentally those who like to
see stage direction expressed in
its highest form will make colos-
sal mistake if they pass up "Porgy
and Bess." Mamoulian never per
mits his actors to be idle. Life in
Squalid Catfish Row may be dull
and commonplace, but it is al
ways moving.
FAILED WITH GARBO

to the case of Mr.. Mamoulian and
what a disappointment he has
been as Hollywood director. He
