THE MICHIGAN DAILY POSTER PORTRAYS *SEASHORE DANGER John B. Jewell, '15A, Designs Picture of Girl Scattering Dollars on Sand TO BE PUT ON SALE THIS WEEK Gold dollars scattered on a golden seashore, by a golden-haired dancer- girl blaze on the 1915 opera's coat- of-arms, drawn up in a poster by John B. Jewell- '15A. The three colors, orange-gold and blue on a grayish background, reflect the character of the "All That Glitters" production. About 15 pseters were turned in dur- ing the week after Christmas vacation and the grouping in the foreground is brilliant with orange-gold and blue. Remarkable detail work, symmetry and idea aid the contention that this year's poster exceeds those of the preceding seven years. The annual poster contest was won last year by Don M. Cottrell, '14A, and in the year before by Leo N. Burnett, '14, UMON FORUM FOR DISCUSSION OF PROBLEMS PROVES SUCCESS i ..:... . .. ... I I I I i'll I1 Plan Started to Provide Gathering for Men to Express Ideas After the First Performance of The Mich. Union Opera' In order to further the discussion of vital campus problems among men who really have ideas to express, the Forum was begun at the Union a few Early Rehearsal of "Ponies" to Robert Tannahill, '15, who was in weeks ago. Since that time, weekly charge of that branch of the opera meetings have been held, which were work. After a few nights of restless attended by a goodly crowd of repre- indecision, the judges gave the first sentative men.

'Kishlar, '17E, who also won second place in last year's con- test. More than 700 posters have been printed at present, and are now in the hands of Adna R. Johnson, '16L, who is chairman of the opera publicity committee. They will be put on sale in a day or two at Wahr's and Shee- han's State street stores, and the price probably will be 10 cents per picture, as in previous years. The picture on this year's poster is especially attractive, representing a' beautiful girl, presumably the heroine of the opera, dancing on the famous board walk at Atlantic City. She holds a sack of gold dollars which she scatters wantonly along the beach. The background is a grayish shade, W indw ard's A SPECIALTY To encourage those who feel a hesi- tancy about speaking before an as- semblage, the sessions have been made as informalas possible. The only rule has been to limit the speeches to five minutes, but it has not been neces- sary to enforce the regulation often. Before each gathering, a presiding officer is selected. He is usually pick- ed from men who have had experience along such lines, such as members of the various Varsity debating teams. The chairman of the meeting gets a general line on the points at issue in the problem for discussion, and in case of a lag in the talk, suggests topics for the speakers. In addition to the main topic for discussion, which is announced be- forehand, a list of minor subjects has been drawn up, but so far they have not been necessary. Their object is to provide points for discussion in case the regular subject is exhausted. It is planned to continue these gatherings every Thursday night until spring vacation, and if it seems war- ranted, it is probable that they will be resumed after the April recess. Jane Addams to Speak Here March 28 Jane Addams, director of the Hull House at Chicago, and noted social worker, will speak under the auspices of the Wesleyan Guild at the Metho- dist church, Sunday evening, March 28. Her subject will be "War Versus So- cial Service." Besides being an ardent social worker, Miss Addams is also promi- nent in the peace movement, and has formed organizations among women of Chicago for such purposes.

For it is inthis department that "All That Glitters" will mark on improve- ment over other Union operas. Also there will doubtless be a lot of talk about the "pep" and "snap" of the show all the way through. There will be no dull spots, no boring scenes this year. Things will be kept on the jump all the time, according to Kenneth S. Baxter, '15E, general chairman of the opera, and anyone who has watched the rehearsals under Director Eugene B. Sanger knows this liveliness will be one of the characteristics of the opera. There will be more dancing than formerly, and, moreover, the steps are all new and original, and the large number of rehearsals, as well as the quality of the chorus men, insure that they will be well executed. Something new will be the acrobatic acts in the "Cheer Up" number by the "ponies" Davis & Pinger Prompt Pinters Down in the west forties, not so far from the white lights of Broadway, is pictured a room, where vivacious blonds and soulful brunettes lure ro- mance over glass-topped tables with orange stick and file. Customers from the four hundred enter, and the entic- ing hairdressers dress and redress the coiffeurs of the age of 1915. It is the rendezvous of the "Creme de la Creme" of the village of Gotham. Men-about-town saunter nonchalantly in to have the maids trim them, that is, their nails. Stately matrons and ir- resistable debutantg, seeking the foun- tain of youth, receive the application of rouge, enamel and cream in their game of dye with age. The youth, pal- lid, with ennui, enters and leaves with the flush of romance (or Mme, Marstelle's rouge) glowing in his cheeks, and the overdressed drummer finds inspiration fo:: his complacency. All is in white, the tables, the chairs, the draperies and even the costumes of the girls themselves. But color is introduced later, through the medium of the fashionable patrons of the shop) who enter for a moment's chat with the proprietor, or a half hour's session with the a(t of beautification. Strangescenes are enacted in this beauty parlor of the first act of the opera-scenes that would hardly be expected outside of the realms of the imagination. And when the curtain drops, the initiation into the mysteries of the wiles of Venus, although incom- plete, will have been set afoot. The deep blue sea of the wide At-, lantic forms the background for the second act of the play. In the fore- ground we hive the beach at the wat- ering place most favored by the writ- ers of novels and playlets, or, to be more specific, Atlantic City, New Jer- sey. Bathing girls, summer girls, ath- letic girls, girls of all kinds and of all descriptions stroll about upon the far- famesd board walk and the equally re- nowned beach. Life-guards and sum- mer men accompany the young ladies in their walks about the stage.

III (Continued from Page 1) With the presentation of "A Model Daughter" last spring, one innovation was introduced--the substitution of a dancing chorus for the former "broil- ers." The scene of the opera was Paris, and the plot centered about an art studio in the Latin quarter. W. &. Melton, '13, was the author of the book, the music was composed by Willis A. Diekema and Waldo E. Fel- lows, '14, while the lyrics came from the pen of Sylvan S. Grosner, '14L, the author of this year's production. OPERA NUMBERS OF GARGOYLE GO ON SALE FRIDAY, APRIL 2 Publication Said to Contain Largest Amount of Art Work of Any Issue Opera numbers of the Gargoyle will be sold on the streets Friday noon, April 2, and probably will contain the largest amount of art work and special contributions of any one issue in the publication's history. The cover is being designed by Joseph J. Kucera, '17E. The number will correspond to some extent to the "Spot" number of a year ago. Harold Schradski, '15L, has written an introductory poem. Besides the men on the regular staff, the following artists have started work on contri- butions for the next number: R. M. Parsons, '14, A. D. Honey, '17D, E. S. Everett, grad., Francis P. Bade, '15, and Harold B. Abbott, '15A. Those who have written special arti- cles are: H. B. Carpenter, '17L, H. R. Schradski, '15L, Mr. M. C. Wier, and Mr. H. P. Scott, both of the rhetoric faculty, and S. S. Dickinson, '15L. Jacob Eschelbach QUARTER BACK The Game of Football Strategy is ii 11 Eugene B.. Sanger which stunt bids fair to put the pyra- mid artists in the gymnasium to shame. Another thing that will mark a de- velopment in Union operas is the fact that there are six changes of costume by the chorus alone. When the first operas were staged, the costumes for the chorus were often those picked up from the handiest sources around Ann Arbor, and one costume would usually do for the whole show. The costumes, manyof them made to order, have been rented from the Eaves Costume com- pany, of New York City, one of the largest firms in the east. Without making use of the "best ever" phrase, so often applied to the opera, in the opinion of General Chair- man Baxter, the opera will mark a general improvement over past pro- ductions. The cast is versatile and well balanced, having been gradually built up, and according to Director Sanger, the material here is better to work with than he has ever had for any col- lege production.

Durward Grinstead, who plays the role of Adelaide Devon, and Maurice Dunne, the chauffeur, will cast aside their regular parts for a time, and give an exhibition of classic danciit. Director Sanger expressed himself as quite surprised by the two men's ability, and more than satisfied with the act. They will appear in an- cient Grecian costume. E. G.
