'een On The,
A
age - Screen'
(By Edwin I. Meiss)
The critic's job is dull to do, and
we'll try a rhyme or two to add some
n and spark; in "Prisoners of Love"
lay Miss Betty Compson leads the
iy as featured at the Arc.
rhe dangers that confront a maid
town alone, are well portrayed, al-
)ugh they overworked her past;
ss Compson's acting's very good;
r leading man's as stiff as wood;
ey have a fine supporting cast.
Another story like the last, the
antom of a purple past, unto the
Li has clung; it's awfully hard in
yme to mete the star's name out
d keep the beat, viz: Clara Kimball
ung.
In "Hush" this lady's at her best,
though not much better than the rest,,
the heights she seldom mounts; her
poise is fine, and yet, you see, her
face lacks personality, and that's the
thing which counts. She plays the
fearful newlywed who hasn't told her
husband all; a former friend keeps
her in dread by paying her a black-
mail call. At times the action tends
to pall.
The mid-week films are good at both
the shows-Majestic plays "The Oath,"
an R. A. Walsh production; the all-
star cast deserves its name, the plot
is not as usual lame, but one of fine
construction.
A man and wife swear to retain the
secret of their wedding vow; this
proves to be a tragic bane soon after
in a murder row. Photography is ex-
cellent; see this one, you'll be glad
you went.
On Wednesday the Arcade presents
some new Mack Sennett reel nonsense,
"A Small Town Idol" is the name; Ben
Turpin casts a wicked glance; the
usual bathing suits enhance this story
of a rural flame. Ben ride the horses
to success, town villain cooks dis-
graceful mess, and Bennie then skips
town; he takes a movie double part,J
becomes a hero from the start, they[
cannot keep him down. The show's a
good one in its way for those who like
the cream-pie play.
Detroit has booked a splendid week;
if in the big town surely seek, the pic-
ture of Ibanez's book, the Garrick is
the place to look. Schubert-Detroit
boasts lots of girls, a pretty peppy
music whirl; the "Midnight Rounders,"
as you read, has Eddie Cantor in the
lead.
WHAT'S YOUR 101A ON
THAT "MICHIGAN LINE"
the one mentioned above. This is a
simple utilization of a line, yet in a
majority of instances covers a multi-
tude of faulty answers so well-that the
student, who slept or read or corre-
sponded through the entire course,
gets a good grade.
Therefore is not a line a necessary
adjunct to the student's social and
educational life? It should not be con-
demned but cultivattd for it cannot be
doubted that a line is as great a bene-
fit elsewhere as well as here. They
are a means to an end-results-and
"dynamic America demands results."

SOME STEAL GOLD AND JEWELS,
BUT THIS THIEF CLIPS HAIR
Omaha, Neb.--Authorities here are
anxious to apprehend a man who has
been clipping the braids of hair from
young girls.
Several complaints of the operations
of the thief have reached the police
during the past few weeks. One girl
was on her way to take a music lesson
when the robber clipped off her hair
and escaped.
The same man is supposed to have
been responsible for a fruitless at-
tempt to steal the hair from another
young girl in the residence of her
parents. He was frightened away,
however, by the girl's sister.
Two theories regarding the thefts
are advanced. One is that the robber
is demented, and the other is that he
has been stealing the hair to sell.,

from vaudeville or light humor maga-
zines; others are made by hopelessly
warping correct pronunciations or
sentence structures. When this can
be done successfully, social favor ac-
companies.
"Lineless" One Toils
In addition to the social, there is an
educational aspect of university life'
on which the right part of an all-em-
bracing line has an obvious effect.
Some might have given this phase the
preference, but I am writing of the
average Michigan student. The "line-'
less" student has to toil almost un-
ceasingly to get a C-a grade insig-
nificant to time and effort expended,
while some of his fellows, adept in the
art of bluffing and tl e manufacture of
a wholesale store of excuses, packed
in flattery, get A's and B's. The airing
of lines during examinations rarely
fails to bring results. If one of the
questions runs something in this man-
ner: "What benefits have you derived
from this course?" the writer of the
examination profusely pens his pro-
found appreciation of the course, i s
merits, and heartily recommends it to
th~e campus at large. This makes a
difference in his grade, the degree of
difference depending on the gullibility
of the instructor. Even if the question
is not asked some think it expedient to
add a paragraph of similar nature to

Lansing, Mich.-The Strom motion
picture censorship bill, that came up
on general orders in the senate for
consideration by committee of the
whole last Friday, was deluged with,
petitions protesting more or less force-
fully and numerously against its pas-
sage.
Every member of the upper house
exceptSenator Aaron Amen of Remus,
and Senator Thomas R. McNaughtonj
of Ada,.had received protests against'
the censorship of the "movies" and
they all presented them at once at the
beginning of Thursday afternoon's
session.
Between 35,000 and 40,000 signatures
were attached to the various docu-
ments, which filled the arms of the
reading clerk's assistant. The largest
single petition was presented through
Senator Arthur Wood of Detroit, and
contained 6,037 names. Senator W. J.
Hayes of Grosse Pointe sent up the
next largest, containing 4,039 signa-
tures, and Senator G. B. Forrester of.
Seckerville turned in the smallest,
lwith 73.
