HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
To the great delight of about 100 students and tutors, Beatrice Lillie sang songs, danced dances, told stories, and generally skipped around the Lowell House Junior Common Room last night.
Dressed in leather boots, black pants, a striped shirt, and and indescribable, Golux-like hat, Miss Lillie sang such numbers as "I heard My Goldfish Yedeling" and did the twist with Laurence H. Scott, teaching fellow in History and Literature. She also recalled that she once told a waiter who spilled coffee on her dress, "Never darken my Dior again.
Meanwhile, at the Hasty Pudding Club, the cast of William Had the Words, the umpteenth annual Pudding Show, feted Noel Coward. Mr. Coward, like Miss Lillie, is in town for the opening of High Spirits, a musical version of Coward's Blithe Spirit.
By way of toasting the Pudding cast, Mr. Coward said, "In a play called Peter Pan, which I'm sure nobody's ever heard of, there is a rather nauseating moment when Wondy looks around and says, "My dear, dear boys.'"
