Pacifism To-Day?

The plot of the play was a bright one, and the actors did well, apart from the difficulties caused by an unfamiliar stage. But one may question the value of such a play in 1938. The last world war was between rival Imperialisms; is the next to be between social creeds? The situation presented in the play is similar to that before the Great War, and has no bearing on present conditions. The propaganda of the play might have been important 10 years ago, but to-day it is Irrelevant, except insofar as it counters the Fascist glorification of war.

Yes, times change. The nations find a new balance of power; we change our opinions; the stage fifth-former changes her uniform for the dance-frock of an adult, and we're back in the present again. This is the first time the T.T.C. Dram. Club has visited V.U.C. with a play, but we hope it will not be the last.
