STUDENT ACTORS
SCORE BIG HIT
IN BARRIE PLAY
COMEDY 'LUll ILAYERS WIN AP-
PLAUSE: ALL PARTS WELI
HANDL El)
REALISTIC SENERY PLEASES
Phyllis Povah and Morrison Wood
Show Remarkable.Ability in
Leading Roles-
In the production of Sir James
Barrie's comedy, "The Professor's
Love Story," at the Whitney theatre
last evening, the Comedy club scored
an unquestioned success, if the appre-
ciation of the audience is to be re-
garded as a standard of judgment.
The play was free from the uneven-
ness usually attendant upon amateur
dramatics, and stilted or awkward ac-
tion was absent from the cast as a
whole.
r
The leading roles, filled by Phyllis
Povah, '16, and Morrison Wood, '17,
were handled in the professional man-
ner traditional of their performances.
Both seemed to excel in those scenes
which called for greater dramatic in-
tensity and the final act gave full
scope to their ability.
Pauline 0. Emerson, '16, as Dow-
ager Lady Gilding, and Leon M. Cun-
ningham, '16, as Dr. Cozens; as well
versed in the ways of the heart as in
medicine, also starred in their re-
spective parts, while Inez M. Goze,
'17, a Scotch lassie wooed by the-
canny Pete and the cannier Henders,
interpreted by Chester E. Fordney,
'16, and Arthur J. Adams, '16, sup-
plied the humor of the "relief" periods
of the play. The brogue, difficult to
imitate, was well executed by all
three.
Humphrey Springstun, '17, as Sir
George Gilding, and "member of Par-
liament," delivered his lines of point-
ed remark with an inflection that
"got across" the footlights in unmis-
takable fashion. Helen P. Ely, '16,
and Mary L. Johns, '16, in the respect-
ive roles of Lady Gilding and Agnes
Goodwille, with Clay W. Wilber, '16,
as Dr. Yellowless, a physician who
found "cherchez la femme" an un-
known quantity in the medical field,
creditably completed the cast.
The costuming was notable in taste,
and the scenic and light effects were
artistically arranged. The scene of
the second act was especially attract-
ive, and the curtain-rise on the real-
istic field of stacked corn and scat-
tered hay was greeted with applause.
The production was well attended
and the approval of those who wit-
nessed the play was a tribute not
only, to the actors but a significant
comment upon the thoroughness of
the efforts of Stage Director Edward
Sachs.
ASK O.UR, TO SUPPLY BRAKES
An ordinance compelling the D. U.
R. to provide air brakes for the city
cars in Ann Arbor will be brought
up for its third reading Monday night
when the common council meets, and
according to the law, can be voted
upon at this time. Whether it will
or not is indefinite since the D. U. R.
has requested an audience with the

committee before the ordinance is
brought up, and this consultation may
not be held until Tuesday.
Unless the D. U. R. is able in this
consultation to present good reasons
why this should not be passed, it is
expected that it will become an ordi-
nance as soon as the council is al-
lowed to vote upon it. So set are
the members of the council in passing
it, that it may possibly be brought up
for the vote before the D. U. R. con-
sults with the committee.
This proposed ordinance was- neces-
sitated because of the "great possi-
bility of an accident due to the in-
ability of the motormen to bring ,heir
cars to a very abrupt stop, especially
when they are heavily loaded. The
location of the tracks throughout the
city and the condition which they are
usually in adds to this possibility of
serious accident.

B ring loliday (heer to lIIny Hones;
Students Give Generously
With tilesatisfaction of having made
certain that no family will be without
Christmas cheer next Saturday morn-
ing, the actual solicitation work of
the Michigan Good Fellows was
brought to a close last night.
The Good Fellow autos made sever-
al trips to fraternity and sorority
houses yesterday afternoon and col-
lected a considerable amount of
clothes, books and other useful ar-
icles that will go toward helping along
the %iristmas spirit in many Ann Ar-
bor homes. The collection by the au-
tomobiles has been going on for two
days, and according to the committee
in charge, all the houses have not been
covered and it will be necessary to
make several trips sometime Monday.I
Up to late last night, almost a
hundred dollars had been collected by
the Good Fellow Editor in addition
to the work done by various individ-
uals and organizations about the cam-.
pus. This presages a successful repe-
tition of the enterprise next Christmas.
The money and articles which have
been collected have been given over
to the local charities for distribution,
and when th distribution has been
completed a statement of the entire
Good Fellow fund will be rendered
and published in The Daily.

versity of Michigan.

be opened till after the committee has
reached its decision.
IV. All essays, to be accepted for
the competition, must be in the hands
of President Harry B. Hutchins not
later than May 15, 1916. They should
be left at the President's office.
V. Essays of sufficient merit, wheth-
er or not receiving a prize award, will
be published in the Menorah Journal.
The committee of award consists of
Professor R. M. Wenley, chairman,
Rabbi Leo M. Franklin of Detroit
and Professor I. Leo Scharfman.
The following is a list of subjects
suggested by the committee. Essay-

ing a choice.

War.

Montenegrin and Serbians in the last
five days' fighting on Montenegrin

the Montenegrin soldiers have been

fighting near Cielopolyde, were many
youths.
Paris, Dec. 18.-Bombardment and
total destruction of a German muni-

cruiser, was announced by the min-
istry of marine this afternoon. A
naval engagement between a French
torpedo boat and two hydroplanes, in
which one of the enemy was captured,
also was reported* The torpedo boat,
fighting two enemy hydroplanes rest-
ing on the water near Cutratel Banks,
chased and cannonaded them, captur-
ing one with two officers, the state-
ment said. The other got off.
Rome, Dec. 18.-For the second
time since the war began one of the
small powers of Europe crushed by

S QUIET CEREMONY
( 111 F' EXECCTIVE VNl) WIFE
LIA E FOR HONEY MOON
ONLY SMALL NUMBER PRESENT
Diplomatic Crisis Will Probably Ne-
cessitate Couple's Immediate Re-
turn to Washington
Washington, Dec. 18.-President
Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Norman
Galt were married at the latter's
home at 8:30 o'clock tonight. Not
more than 45 guests, members of the
immediate families of the president
and his bride and several of their
most intimate friends, were present
at the wedding ceremony.
TL officiating clergyman was the
. 'Herbert Scott Smith, rector
of St. Margaret's church, of which Mrs.
Galt is a member. .He was assisted
by the Rev. James H. Taylor, pastor
of the Central Presbyterian church,
the place of worship of the president
and his family in Washington.
After a -wedding supper, the presi-
dent and his bride left for Hot
Springs, Virginia. Their car, with
one containing secret service men, at-
tendants and newspaper correspon-
dents, a public through-sleeper to
Hot Springs, and a diner were made up
as a second section of the Chesapeake
& Ohio train. The president and Mrs.
Wilson will arrive at their destina-
tion early tomorrow morning. A suite
of rooms has been set aside for their
use at the hotel there.
How long the president and his
bride will remain at Hot Springs on
the honeymoon depends in some mea-
suie on the pressure of public af-
fairs. If the responsibility of state
duties does not intervene to demand
the president's return to Washington,
it is probable they will not come back
before the end of two weeks.
There was none of the. pomp of a
state function at the wedding cere-
mony. It was obviously the desire
of the president that all of the details
should be in keeping with the idea that
it was to have no official character
whatever, and that he was to appear
as Mr. Woodrow Wilson, rather than
as the chief executive of the nation.
There was a profusion of flowers,
orchids of a pale lavender tint, the
favorite flower of the bride, who has
worn them every day and evening
since the announcement of her en-
gagement, and roses against a back-
ground of ferns and palms. The can-
opy oftferns, surmounting the wedding
bower, was lined with creamy byos-
soms of Scotch heather. When the
president -and his bride knelt on the
white satin cushions to repeat their
marriage vows, the latter was in. a
gown of black silk velvet and wore
no jewels except a brooch of icash-
ing diamonds set in platinum, the
president's gift. They were unattend-
ed. No music preceded the entrance
of the wedding party.
There was none during the simple
but impressive ceAmony. The bride's
gown was made of the richest black
silk velvet made in a full round skirt
in the fashionable walking length,
and she wore a black beaver hat, un-
trimmed except for a feather at the
slightly upturned brim on one side.
