Difficult Jobs Are
Those of Backstage
Workers Saturday-
One of the unexpected centers
of attention at the Kosmet Klub
morning reviews was a lowly lift.
The orchestra elevator, raised to
better permit the Ramsey-Jung-bluth
repartee, refused to descend
at the close of the act and Lin
coln's Paul Whiteman and his band
were left stranded on their perch,
much to the perturbation of the
Carrie Belle Raymond hall girls
beginning their skit on the stage.
Doll Work Difficult.
The old adage of "many hands"
make light work proved true in the
case of the Gamma Phi animated
dolls. Every one of the miniature
co-eds had a real dual personality,
two persons being required to
maneuver each tiny actress. Be
hind scenes intense concentration
was necessary to prevent tangling
of pedal and manual extremities,
since the head and feet of a doll
were managed by one girl and the
hands by another.
The off-stage noises, so im
portant in the jungle act of the
A. T. O.'s and Betas, necessitated
a large ccllection of noise instru
ment and implements. There was
a special rattle for the snake's
hiss, and a particular horn for the
tiger's roar, but Don Shurleff suf
ficed for the hyena's laugh.

"Art Elements Universal and

Bernhard Gerdes. class of 1929.

work for his degree.
some. During all this time there
has been no conversation, for chat
ting has no part in the Japanese
tea service. This habit of silent
meditation and self-examination
practiced during the ceremony is
derived from the philosophy of
Zen. the principal Buddhist sect in
Japan.
Of course with the introduction
of occidental customs there are
also more informal teas, but the
old traditional ceremony is most
widelv used and is. in fact, part
of the well bred girl's education.
Another study, novel to western
ideas, is the' course in flower
arranging, required in every girl's
school curriculum. To the Japa
nese this is an art, requiring both
talent and training. Bouquets are
never thrust haphazardly into a
vase: instead every flower is
placed with forethought toward a
formal design. The blossoming
branches of trees, plum and cherry,
are most often used, and every
spray is bent to the most artistic
positions.
School schedules are much
heavier in Japan than here, ac
cording to Miss Oi. and there is
little choice of elective in the
girls' high schools and colleges.
F.very one takes from thirteen to
fifteen subjects, usually totalling
some forty hours Tbe household
arts arc especially stressed.
