Miss Leslie Blanchard, of New York city, will be the guest of honor at both receptions, since she has come to Ann Arbor as the special jubilee guest of Newberry Y. W. C. A.

Mr. Kellerd has surrounded himself with the strongest possible Shake- spearean company he could secure. On account of Sothern-Marlowe having retired and Mr. Mantell going before the screen, he has been able to secure the most famous Shakespearean act- ors. His productions are complete in every detail and no pains have been spared to make this the most com- plete organization on tour. "The Hawk"-Whitney "In this play Mr. Faversham is a graceful adventurer-a Hungarian no- bleman who has taken to cheating at cards with the connivance of his wife," writes Mr. Charles Collins in the Chi- cago Post, referring to William Faver- sham's great play "The Hawk," which comes to the Whitney theatre for one performance only next Saturday night. "He has the code of an aristocratic bandit who resdrts to the tricks of the card table to win what his ancestors would have taken by the sword, and the frivolous woman whom he has married is his inspiration for pillage. He cheats in order that he may be able to gratify her every whim, for his love for her is a grand passion, and as a lover he is perfection itself. 'The Hawk' is, in fact, a love romance of unusual depth of feeling. The story of this gambler and his wife has rather a lyrical and exalted quality which is a welcome relief from the bread-and- butter romances of the average play." At the Majestic "Vaudeville that is vaudeville" opened at the Majestic theatre last night for a three-day run. "The Volunteers," a quartet that has won laurels all over the country, made their first local appearance. They open their act in a peculiar way, lead- ing the audience to believe that one of them is to give the whole show. He asks for volunteers. The leader of the orchestra, a stage hand and finally "the boob" are pressed into service, and the fun and singing .coinmence.

Louis P. H Jr., talked in a direct and infor way about the work of the Americ amlbulance in Europe, and showed the neighborhood of one hundred slid to illustrate his points. After the meeting, there was a ge eral discussion, during which que tions were asked of the speaker. Tl interest which was shown at that ti would indicate that the project f representative ambulances from Mich gan will be well received when it ge under way. Contrary to his plan, M Hall did not pick a student leader the meeting, but will probably do th in a day or so. The success of last Sunday's after noon program was so marked tha the committee chairman, Arthur Tor rey, '16, has decided to have anothe this Sunday, when the senior literar and senior engineer classes will en tertain thq campus at the Union with a competitive program.
