" CLEARER OUTLOOK URGED FOR STUDENT Dr. Lewis Laments Teaching Col- lege Man He Is “Leader of Nation.” FOSTERS OTHER IDEAL Tells Lions Club of Work Done by 6. W. U. “We should stop filling heads of | college students with talk about their being the leaders of the nation. They have heard so much of this that when they get a diploma they think they should go out in the Wworld and start as managers or presidemts of corporations,” sald Willlam Mather Lewls, president of George Washington University, in an | uddress before the Lions Club at| their weekly luncheon at the New ‘Willard Hotel yesterday. Dr. Lewls held up George Wash- | ington University us a new type of siehool that is bringing a college edu «<ation to the people, rather than forcing them to seck their education | in distant parts. !

It is marvelously well acted. Its stage settings are verfect in every detail. But if it is not to fade away after one night's blooming —as_its namesake does— there must be heroic treatment of the play itself.

Possibly that the farce was in rehea Lud something to do with the elect, Maybe there was an “overhang” of the gloom of the Itallan story and at- mosphere. At any rate, the perform- ance last night, despite the numerous ©pportunities for fun-making provid- ed by the author, was tinctured with occaslonal sadness not inherent in the composition. + _ Mr. Bertram Bloch, author of “Ce- 2ily Ann” is a ingtonian who lias writien numerous plays. In this offering_he tells the story of a mid- dlo-aged novelist suddenly supplied through the enterprise of a nephew with & secretary whom ‘he does not want to serve as a “model” for his rincipal feminine fictional character § e story he 18 writing. The young porson who arrives, Cecily Ann, is Botroshingly naive and interfering. Bhe wins all masculine hearts, includ- ing that of the novelist, who snddenly s her to be his wife. Complexi- ties arise which induce the prospec- tive bridegroom to hasten the m riage that is on the point of bel performed when the lights go out Bnd Cecily Ann disappears.
