Deluges the grass,

Wheel, dwindle and mass
And their wings are split
Silver as they pass.

Director of Harmon Founda
tion to Speak at Spelman
Founders Day
Miss Mary Beattie Brady, director of the
Harmon Foundation, which has for one of
its chief objectives the betterment of race
relations, will deliver the Founders Day
address at Spelman College on Wednesday,
April 11, the fifty-third anniversary.
Long an active proponent of the recogni
tion of the achievements of Negroes, Miss
Brady, as head of the foundation, estab
lished by the late William E. Harmon, has
directed the work of the organization in
granting annual awards to Negroes who have
gained special distinction. The award for
Distinguished Achievement among Negroes
in the field of Education in 1930 was pre
sented to President John Hope of Atlanta
University, and recently one of the prizes
iu the exhibitions by Negro artists, organ
ized by the Harmon Foundation was desig
nated as the John Hope prize.
The Harmon Foundation has for some
years organized exhibits of work by Negro
artists. The exhibit in 1929 and 1930 was
shown at Spelman College and was visited
by hundreds of people.
Under the direction of Miss Brady the
foundation also maintains loan funds for
needy students, establishes and aids in the
maintenance of playgrounds, and works for
the advancement of the nursing profession.
The Religious Motion Picture Foundation
has been organized as an adjunct of the
Harmon Foundation. This agency, which
both manufactures and distributes moving
pictures particularly suited for churches
and other religious organizations has be
come one of the chief agencies for religious
education in this country.
Morehouse Students Present
The Merchant of Venice
On March 19-20, the Morehouse College
students presented “The Merchant of
Venice” as its third annual Shakesperian
presentation under the direction of Miss
Anne M. Cooke, to appreciative audiences.
The performance was quite up to the
standard and in many respects surpassed
“Richard III”, last year’s production. The
well-balanced cast caught and artistically
portrayed the spirit of the play. Each
individual impressed one that he thoroughly
enjoyed his part. 'The very effective stage
set, designed by Wiliner A. Jennings, con
tributed abundantly to the atmosphere.
General student interest in dramatics is
increasing, if we may judge from the ex
pressions of critical appreciation that this
performance has occasioned.
A slight summary of criticisms heard are
that the presentation of Launcelot was e--
peciallv well done; as was also that of
Lorenzo and of Bassanio; there was much
good work in the interpretation of the char
acters of both Portia and Nerissa. The
personation of old Gobl>o in his blindness
receives interesting comments. The very
difficult part of Shvlock, by George Smith,
was especially interesting to his friends and
critics who have watched his successive per
formances since his first appearance, and
who noted further gains in this piece of
work. The interpretation of the character
of tin* Duke was disappointing to some who
had different ideas of the manner of a Duke.
