THE MICHIGAN DAILY. lusic, Drama, Arts, Letters, and Features EN ON THE DAILY [iriain, Heideman, '17, Writes to Daily Asking Opportunities in Journal- istic Field for Women 'o the Editor of The Michigan Daily: I was immensely pleased with your ditorial in this morning's "Daily"- bout welcoming the women, you now. But really, you l1ave not been misjudged" at all-I think any criti- isms you have received have been uite in order. You will see the wom- n's point of view when you have read he following recital of my troubles. When The Daily ann'ounced its ex- imination for prospective reporters ast fall, which examination is held wice a year and is "open to all un- ergraduates of the university," I reenly considered myself eligible 'being a sophomore) and prepared to ake it, because I was interested in iewspaper work. Very fortunately, I vas saved just in time from commit- ing an unforgivable "faux pas" by me of The Daily reporters to whom had confided my plan. He was thor- oughly alarmed at such a rash, hare- brained, unthinkable proceeding-the spectacle of 4 girl going over to The Daily office to take an examination with men! Horrors! and a couple of nercy-me's! Who ever heard of such a thing!--quite an unprecedented piece of nerve!! In disgust, I bore my tale of woe ;o Mrs. Jordan, and learned that "the nen work in their shirt-sleeves around the office, and it's no place for a girl." Thusly "squelched," I set- tled down to woman's proper occupa- tions: lessons, teas, and dancing-par- ties. Down in my secret soul I won- dered if the first engineer girl that invaded the blacksmith shops encoun- tered as extremely cautious and con- servative a set of young men as my "shirt-sleeved" friends? In what manner of garb did they work, I won- dered? I did rather resent my sex, which kept me from enjoying the experience granted freely and as a matter of course to the men who liked news- paper work. Now I have nobly over- come that "peeved" state of soul, but I want to make the following sugges- tion copied from The Daily Cardinal for Sept. 25 (I have been comparing the Wisconsin paper with our own Daily, and find that most of the 16 pages consist mainly of advertise- ments, while our own paper has ex- tremely enjoyable reading-matter, al- though my judgment may be biased. In one of the editorial offices in my home town they have an idea that we are not doing very much in journal- ism at Michigan-they tally to me about Columbia and Madison-hence my interest in the Cardinal), "Try- outs for the women's page (f the Car- dinal will start Monday morning. The try-outs will cover feature story writ- ing, editorials and general reporting. Any one desiring to try out should see the editor Monday afternoon be- tween five and six." Please, kind sir, let's followthe ex- ample set by our enterprising Madi- son journalists. MIRIAM HEIDEMAN, '17.

This tune threads its way through -the entire performance, and proves, it is said, one of the jolliest airs in many sea- sons of musical comedy. The plot deals with the innoc nt mixing up of wives and fiancees. A fleeing doc- tor, pursued by a dueling Frenchman whose wife the doctor has kissed, changes the locale from Paris to the seaside. Numerous complications arise, makiig the story a typical French farce full of life and merri- ment, yet kept clean from start to finish. In addition to "Something Seems Tingle-Ingle-Ing," the plot forms the thread upon which . are strung such bright musical gems as "Jim," "Love's Own Kiss," "Come Hither Eyes" and "Chi Chi." Lyman Howe at Whitney Lyman Howe comes to the Whitney theater Tuesday, October 19, in a fea- ture covering 'a journey through the Panama canal to the California expo- sitions. Many architectural gems, as the Tower of the Jewels and the tri- umphant arches and the statuary that adorns the courts at the San Fran- cisco exposition, are shown, and the Spanish "atmosphere" of ancient and medieval Spain is especially complete and striking. For sheer beauty, the wonders in- side the gates of both expositions eclipse all thus far, and it seems al- most unnecessary to add that Howe's camera men have transcribed them in almost perfect detail to their films. "Sari" at the Whitney "Sari," the fascinating heroine of Henry W. Savage's operetta of the same name, comes to the Whitney the- ater Saturday, October 16, matinee and night, with charming Mizzi Hajos in the title role, supported by the New York cast and production. Sari has her hands full keeping peace between two geniuses, her father, the gypsy leader, and her brother. She keeps the audience thoroughly interested and amused trying to do it and inci- dentally wins a husband for herself. The music for "Sari" was composed by Emmerick Kalman and has all the lilt and verve and t e fire of all gen- uine Hungarian mus:c. The melodies are fresh and sparkling and the dances catching, while the setting and the daring costumes are rich and beautiful.

R. D. HOLLISTER TODAY Work will soon start in earnest in the Lyceum club, according to Prof. R. D. Hollister, of the oratorical de- partment. It is the desire of the club to extend its membership, and Pro- fessor IHoilister will be in his room, 302 north wing, this morning at 10:00 o'clock to consult with any students desirous of trying out for member- ship. As is customary, a number of student speakers will be .sent to different parts of the state this year. A re- quest already has come from Lansing for five men to address a class in the Baptist Sunday school. The object of the club Is primarily to give devotees of the forensic art an opportunity to gain some real ex- perience, but there are also social ac- tivities. FORE STE RS ARRANGE TO MEET IN NEW SCIENCE BUILDING Members of the forestry club will hold their first meeting of the year in room 214, new science building, at 7:30 o'clock next Wednesday evening. The election of a corresponding sec- retary, a business manager and an associate editor will take place at this time to fill vacancies left by men who have not returned this year. Several dances and a smoker will be held by the club this year and membership is open to any student enrolled in the forestry course. tival Concerts given by the University Musical society. It is only necessary to mention the famous Amato to re- call his great popularity when he ap- peared in Ann Arbor previously, and his coming this year in a full song recital is greatly anticipated. Bernhardt Begins Dec. 9 Sarah Bernhardt cabled her Amer- ican manager, William F. Connor, "December 9 exact date," and at that time the famous French actress will open her New York engagement. The delay in beginning her American bookings is due to the war, in which several members. of her company have been wounded or killed. She an- nounces extension of the tour if nec- essary. Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Detroit is making great strideg with its Symphony Orchestra, and this year under the direction of Weston Gales a number of new compositions will be presented from time to time and some prominent soloist brought to Detroit.
