ny students have received this
er on calling the Daily office late
evening and requesting that
item be inserted in the morn-
paper. Probably a large ma-
.of them have hung up with the
g that the Night Editor's "sorry,

was too.lazy to try and get the

It will not be many years be-
sery morning The Daily will
in its columns all the local, na-
and international new that is
in the morning edition of the
city newspaper,-as well as all
ms of campus interest. At pres-
ie circulation and needs of ad-
er are taxing the mechanical
f producing The Daily to very
its present limit.
short, it is not too much of a
i of the imagination to think of
)lily in the future as a, great
ig school for journalism with
s for service to University and
lat can only be compared to the
jalities of the best public-spir-
orning paper. Only when the
iption list rivals in length that
metropolitan contemporary,
ts pages are read with equal in-
by "town and gown," only then
'ie Daily even be said to have
ched its ultimate standard of

and Saturday. Undoubtedly there is
a force behind this production which
exceeds that of any of its predecessors.
Griffith has abandoned, for the most
part, in this creation, the spectacular
effects which hoisted him to fame, and
turns his attention even more effect-
ively than usual to scr'een paintings,
as a result of which he has achieved
scenes worthy of an artist's pallet.
The homely beauty of his New Eng-
land farm pictures represents the
height of his accomplishment.'
But Griffith could not forego the
spectacular entirely. Although. the
greater part of the story revolves
about t~ie humble farm, still towards
the close, the girl, Lillian Gish, is
driven out into the cold of mid-winter'
and in despair attempts to drown her-
self, but faints on the ice. The floe
breaks and she is swiftly carried to-
wards the falls below, followed by her
frantic lover who leaps, like Liza,
from block to block of ice. In the
struggle for safety which takes place
on the edge of the falls, a degree of
intensity is reached which grips the
audience and holds it in terrified sus-
pense until the close of the scene.
Griffith has. rather unsuccessfully
-attempted to introduce color effects
into a part of his picture, the only
place in which it adds to the film being,
in an exquisite portrait of the heroinej
in evening gown. Much more could
be said about "Way ,Down East," but1
space forbids. The producer has in-
terjected humorous parts to offset the
heaviness of his story, which treats in
a forceful manner (though without thel
semblance of propaganda),the. ques-
tion of the double standard. No praisef
is too high for this photoplay; it isf
,one which can be enjoyed a second1
time as well as the first.
The Arcade today offers Helenee

sea entitled, "Godless Men." The plot
deals with a sea captain who because
of his wife's faithlessness has brought
up his son with the gospel, of hate. A
girl who has been rescued and who
later proves to be a daughter of the
captain's former wife, leads the son
to have his father stabbed for protect-
ing her, but the father, in a dramatic
climax manages to shoot his own son
and save the girl from harm. The pic-
ture is adapted from Ben Ames Will-
iams' Saturday Evening Post story,
"Black ,Pawl."
For the latter half of the week the
Arcade features Norma Talmadge in
a picturization of Benavente's drama,
"The Passion Flower," which played
in Ann Arbor this year on the legiti-
mate stage with Nance O'Neil in the
lead.
TTHIRTIETH YEAR'

anywhere along in the afternoon as
was the old custom. The Daily led all
other papers in this innovation.
Getting down to modern times, we
find that in March, 1920, The Daily
again took the lead of college papers
and produced the first Sunday supple-
ment "in all the land."
Facts, facts, facts all crowd to the
foreground for space in this anniver-
sary supplement, but few can be men-
tioned. Few remember the old Daily
Celebrity ball, an annual institution
given by The Daily to which all men
whom the paper deemed advisable to
invite were present. Then there is the
"Hans' Football Score Board" still
standing on Ferry field-a Daily insti-
tution. And what of the struggle ,for
existence, the struggle for space to
print its pages, and of its relation to
town newspapers-a great deal indeed,
but these things alone would take col-
umns of space.
Made Advances
Everything considered, The 'Daily
has advanced through its 30 years of
-existence, it las established a place
for itself which seems to .have a rock
foundation. It has helped mould the
lives of leaders in the world today.
And as one looks ahead, only specu-
lation can ascertain what other gen-
erations may write of us 25, 50, 100
