ssour - UNIVERSITY
- Where the old Wendel mansion
once stood on TFifth avenue at
39th street, Manhattan skyscrap
ers now surround a modern Kress
store of which Boykin Bolton, for
mer Athenian and son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. O. Bolton of 1573 South
Lumpkin, is assistant manager.
Deep in the gloom of the old
New York mansion, recently de
stroyed to make room for civil
ization’s advance, the scenes of
“Double Door” ‘are represented as
having occurred. All the mystery
and apprehension that must have
pervaded this Fifth avenue man
sion reveals itself in the Univer
sity theater's winter production
which ends a two-night run at
8:30 this evening.
- The Wendel home was famous
as a landAmark of Fifth avenue
for more than 50 years. Six sis
ters and a brother sought the
Seclusion of this dour retreat un
til legends arose from every sec
tor to brand the four-story dwell
ing as New York's “House of
Mystery.”
Nearly three years after the
death of the last member of the
eccentric family, the mansion was
destroyed and in its stead was
erected one of the nation’s most
modern 10-cent stores. The for
mer Athens man is today assist
ant manager of this store.
Bolton was graduated from the
University in 1929 and became
connected with 8. H. Kress com
pany soon thereafter. At the
University he was enrolled in the
School of Commerce, receiving
his B. S. C. degree. Both the
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and
Alpha Kappa Psi, professional
Commerce fraternity, claim him
as a former member.
Five years ago next Friday,
Ella Wendel, last of the whimsi
cal family, died. She had spent
the concluding vears of her life
with her poodle, Tobey, in the
gloomy residence which had come
to her along with the vast Man
hattan holdings which in 1929
amounted to $150,000,000.
Elizabeth McFadden wove the
legends surrounding the Wendels
into a fantastic melodrama, “Dou
ble Door,” which the University
theater is presenting tonight at
%:30 in Seney-Stovall theater. The
wealthy Van Bret family is ana
lagous to the Wendels of New
York. Scenes for the play are layed
in the upstairs living room of an
antique residence.
On Citizenship
By DOYLE JONES, JR.
Setting forth character, train
ing, and courage as the most im
portant elements of good citizen
ship, Charles D. Redwine, presi
dent of the Georgia senate, spoke
Wednedday ~evening before the
Demosthenian Literary Soceity in
Demosthenian hall.
No man or woman ‘devoid of
character” is a good citizen, or
will fill a worthwhile place in the
world, Mr. Redwine asserted. “The
best citizens must be trained and
trained properly,” he added. “This
training is Dbeing accomplished
through public education. We are
going through a period of blood -
less revolution K with changes be
ing wrought all about us. What
America is 25 to 40 years hence
¢epends on the youth ot'today.
“It is far too apparent that cit
izens of today depend upon the
govera.rent for support instead of
sipporting it, as is their duty,”
Mr. Keawine said. “The danger
of America is not from without
but from within, with the people
asking too much from the govern
ment."”
Courage is an essential part of
good ctjizenship, he added. “It is
a duty of a citizen to maintain a
position of right and no man is a
true citizen unless he will stand
up for his beliefs.”
The following Demosthenian
officers were named for the spring
guarter: J. C. Strong, Newnan,
president; Harley Williams, Still
more, and Claude Tuck, jr., Win
terville, tied- -for vice-president.
The office will be chosen at the
next meeting. Joe Prather, Toc
coa, secretary; Harold Daniel,
Locust Grove, solicitor general;
Ben Anderson, Fort Valley, ser
geant-at-arms; and William Can
non, Dalton, parliamentarian.
Walter Wise, Fayetteville, pres
ident of Demosthenian, presided
and introduced Mr. Redwine.
Park Speaker
By DOYLE JONES, JR.
“I have never seen men rise
higher than the pedestal on which
they place women,” said Dr. R.
5. Park, head of the ¥nglish de
partment. as he spoke this week
i"% “the ' University Y. M. C.: A.
rcoms. When men topple women
off their pedestal and drag them
into sinfu: lives, civilization then
will retrogress, he added.
“Kverybody wants to be a gen
tleman,” he related, ‘“but when
they cannot succeed, they with
draw into a shell of sham and
pretense and hate all gentlemen.
“1 consider money an impera-
tlve necessity,” observed Dr. Park.
“J. J. Hill once said, ‘Any boy
can tell whether he can succeed.
Can vou face the mirror, look at
your image and say, ‘Can 1 save
money? If the answer is yes, you
will be a success; if not, no power
can help you'.”
' Dr. Park related an incident
ithut happened shortly after the
| Civil War. A group of Confeder
!:.le and Union officers were dining
]together in the presence of Gen
| eral Ulysses S. Grant. A south
i ern colonel arose and proposed to
| tell a story beginning with, “It is
| fortunate no women are present.”
2 General Grant replied to the
abashed young man, “Yes, but
lthére are gentlemen. What would
' your General Lee say if you told
‘auich a story before him?”
«sgjr” said the Confederate offi-
cer to Grant, “No one would dare
to tell an unclean story in the
presence of Robert E. Lee.r’f
Dr. Park read Burns' “Epistle
to a Young Friend,” explaining
the passages as he went along
and translating them to fit your
needs of today.
Relating another incident, Dr.
Furk told of the internationally
known Oxford scholar who, in
the company of a professor, was
one day walking over the campus
of that English institution. Two
freshmen passed by, and this im
portant figure saluted them by
raising his hat. The astonished
professor inquired, “Why did you
tip your hat to those men? They
should have recognized you, in
stead of lowering yourself by
raising your hat.”
“I did not tip my hat to them,”
the scholar retorted.
“I beg vour pardon, Sir, but I
saw you.”
“Oh, no! 1 didn't tip my hat to
the men, but to their possibili
ties. We may have just passed a
future ambassador, a captain of
industry, or a president,” the
scholar simlingly replied.
Physician Speaks
By BESSIE DIAMOND
Dealing mainly with the subject
of Euphritis, Dr. Harry Talmadge,
Athens physician, spoke before
members of the University Zoo
togy club, Tuesday at 4:30 on
“The Aspects of Zoology”, ‘in’ the
lecture room of LeConte HAIIL
Dr. Talmadge was introduced
by Edmond Kalmon, Albany, pres
ident of the science organization.
Which Happiest?
By MARY GORDY
When a married woman “slips
out”, she has more fun and is
happier, because she knows that
she ig doing something wrong,
Frances Cowart told members of
the Pioneer club Wednesday night
at a no-decision debate held in
the Smith Building on the Co-or
dinate campus.
Upholding the negative side of
the question Resolved: That An
Old Maid Is Happier Than a Mar
ried Woman, Misg Cowart pictured
the old maid sitting at home night
after night, wondering if the phone
would ring, always hoping .that
she would be invited out.
Jane Bash, other negative speak
er, pictured the bliss of married
life, describing life in the “little
ivy covered -cottage with all its
modern conveniences”.
“Imagine, on the other hand,”
she continued, “the old maid at
home. There she sits alone, with
noone for company except her cat.
Can she experience the jovs of not
only motherhood but- even grand-~
motherhood ?*
The twe affirmative speakers,
Josephine McDaniel and Jacque
line Evans, attempted to prove
that an old maid’s freedom was
her most envied privilege:
Miss McDanie] said: “An old
lady can gossip more freely, she
can have more friends in the ani
mal kingdom, and certainly does
n’t have to worry about the chil
dren!
We find that the best woman
doctors, teachers, lawyers are not
married women but are old
maids.”
The cther affirmative debater,
Miss Evans, dwelt on the freedom
and good times experienced by the
modern old maid, the “pachelor
girl”. She has her own money to
spend”, stated the speaker, “and
can spend it in the way the wants
to, never having to ask ‘dear
John' if she can purchase ‘this hat’
or ‘that dress.’
«ghe can get out in the world
and carve for herself a career.
Oneé of the ‘striking examples of
the modern bachelor girl is Mae
West: Just look at her! 1 think
that the really chief assest of the
modern old maid is undoubtedly
freedom!"”
Music Appreciation
. By FLORENCE MANNING
A two piano arrangement of the
dreamy «“Moonlight Sonata” was
the feature of the all Beethoven
program presented by Lacile Kim
ble and Mike McDowell, both of
the music department of the Uni
versity, at Musie Appreciation last

three groups- The first group in
cluding: “Sonata in B flat—Op.
29 No.: 1 «andante”, “Allegro
molte e vivace”, “Adagio con ex
pressione”, and “Allegro vivace”
was given by Miss Kimble.
Following the first group were
the double piano arrangements,
“Adagio” (““Moonlight Sonata”)
and “Turkish March” (from “Ruing
of Athens”).
The last group, played by Mike
MecDowell included: “Andante Fa
vori”, “Sonata in D major—Op. 10
No. 3, “Presto”’, Largo e mesto”,
“Minuetto and Trio”’, and “Ron

Greensboro Paper Says
Fortson Is Discussed
' For Supreme Bench
(Continuea rrom Page One)
time ago, The Lavonia Times
and Columbus ILedger, one
published near the Carolina
line and the other near the
Alabama. border both commend
his judicial abilities, indjcat
ing that his fame is statewide.
“Judge Fortson”, says The
Lavonia Times, “has long been
reccgnized by lawyers through
out the state as one of the
greatest figures who ever
served the judiciary of our
state. Not only has he been
outstanding as a jurist, but as
a leader of Democratic thought
he ranks with those eminent
Georgians of the past who
contributed to the growth of
the nation, as well as their
own state and section.”
“And The Columbus Ledger,
commenting on Judge Fort
son's sound judicial learning,
declares: ‘“‘Judge Fortson has
made a profound study not
jonly of the Constftution if
self, but of the trends of the
times{ the actibns of ¢tate
craft and also craftiness not
executed in behalf of the
state. He is equipped to look
below the shallows in consid
eration of so complicated a
question as the American Con
stitution.” 7
“It i, indeed, a splendid
sign for the future of our
democratic system of govern
ment when newspapers and
individuals are constantly on
the alert for men of progres
sive thought, high integrity
and proper understanding of
the Constitution, as well as
economice, in connection with
the judiciary. We have seen
in recent months how impor
tant is the judicairy to our
own economic, let alone our
political well being.”
