(By Edwin IL. iMeiss)
This week is one which should
prove a delight to the movie fan, but
in a review of the pictures the Majestic
seems to have the edge. The other
houses, however, also offer some most
attractive productions.
Today Wally .Reid comes rushing
along in a new picture, "What's Your
Hurry?" The scenario is adapted
from the Saturday Evening Post story,
"The Hippopotamus Parade," and tells
the adventures of a young racing
driver whose sweetheart's father,
president of a motor truck concern, is
sweet on commercial cars but not on
speed demons.
Father is peeved because the news-
papers give free; front page ads to the
races, and yet will not mention his
much more useful contribution to
modern industry. Wally as the racer,
after many failures to ingratiate him-
self with the indignant president, fin-
ally puts the trucks into the limelight
of publicity, secures a big order for
the firm, saves his sweetheart and her
father from death, and gains the lat-
ter's consent to be his son-in-law. The
show is a bear-cat; don't miss it.
Arcade Shines Forth
The Arcade boasts a Mary Roberts:
Rhinehart comedy to initiate the week,
with a similar cast to that which ap-
peared in "Going Some" two weeks
ago. The screen title is "It's a Great
Life," but the story originally appeared
as "Empire Builders." The tale is
one of prep school life, the dreams of
two youths, with the always interest-
ing element of puppy love. Cullen
Landis plays the leading role, but the
whole cast is very adequate and 'the
picture should be intensely amusing.
Mary Miles Minter, one'of the most
delightful personalities of the screen,
opens the week today at the WuerthI
in "Sweet Lavender." The story is too!
long and intricate to relate here, but7
the picture promises to be quite un-J
usual, and will appeal to anyone and
everyone.
Last year Constance Binney ap-
peared in Ann Arbor in her great stage
success, "39 East." This Wednesday
she returns again-in shadow and offers+
to amuse us in a screen version of
that absorbing drama.1
The plot deals with a minister's
daughter who is forced to dance in a
New York chorus in order to make her
living. She rooms at 39 East, a board-
ing house where everyone gossips?
about her and treats her as an out-:.
cast. While living there she meets the
young man with whom after many
misadvaneures and misunderstandings
she plights her troth. Constant Bin-
ney is always charming and the pic-
ture will be one of the best mid-week
entertainments that has appeared here
in quite a while.
At the same time Elaine Hammer-
stein appears at the Arcade in "Point
of View," a production which will
probably uphold her usual standard.
Zasu Coming
Zasu Pitts, that little comedienne
who appeals to the sympathies of so
many movie goers, will star at the
Wuerth on Wednesday in an interpre-
tive play, "The Heart of Twenty." Miss
Pitts takes the part of a young woman,
who aspires to do the things that other,
girls of her age do, but whose ardour'
is suppressed by an old maiden aunt
who has long since forgotten her
youth.
Meanwhile in Detroit the stage gf-
fers two worthy attractions, one being
the San Carlo Opera company at the
Schubert-Detroit tlpatre, which will
render various popular operas through-
.1

politan Opera House see the proof.
out the week. The company comes di-
rect from New York and carries with
it quite a few of the most prominent
artists of the country.
At the Garrick, Nora Bayes opens a
two weeks' performance of her new
show, "Her Family Tree." This show
from all points of view should be a
corker, as it gives full range to Miss
Bayes' versatility.
, To Detroiters and to students of
Michigan this review should be of
greater interest because of the fact
that both the music and the book were
written by Detroit men who attended
this university, Seymour Simons and
Al Weeks respectively.
Cecille B. DeMille productions are
always welcome in Ann Arbor as well
as in every other community. Begin-
ning Friday, another one of his mar-
riage question pictures entitled, "Old
Wives for New," will appear at the
Majestic.
The cast includes such celebrities as
Wanda Hawley, Elliot Dexter, Theo-
dore Roberts and Tully Marshall, as
well as a few other well known screen
screen artists.
The plot of the play promises some-
thing similar to "Why Change Your
Wife?" but probably will be less elab-
orate. At any rate it's a DeMille pro-
duction, and as such is worth encour-
aging.
Those whose torsos begin to quiver
every time a Victrola is turned on
should report to the Arcade Friday or
Saturday to receive a message from
Madge Kennedy, "The Girl with the
Jazz Heart." Come see the famous
shimmie dancer who shimmies so well
that a New York theatre hired her
during the hot weather in place of a
refrigerating machine. The picture is
a two-parts-for-the-star affair and will
be of interest to everyone.
Thriller on Bill
Daredevil George Walsh arrives in
town Friday with his latest thriller,
"From Now On." The plot deals with
a man who serves a jail sentence for
stealing and hiding some money which
rightfully belongs to him. When his
term ends, the officials tell him that
he is free but that from then on he
will be hounded until he gives up the
stolen money.
The picture is quite up to standard
and for those who like George Walsh
it will furnish a worthy afternoon or
evening's entertainment.
After five days of mediocre Jack
Dempsey pictures and serials the Or-
pheum stages a comeback Friday with
the appearance of Alice Lake in a re-
turn of that popular picture, "Should
a Woman Tell?" It is a dramatic story
of a New England fisher girl, fared
with the problem of whether or not to
reveal to the man she loved, the secret
of her youth. The picture is very good
and successfully rounds off a week of
productions at most of the theatres
above the average.

There is one other University band

musical regard to size and musicianship. That
opening is at Illinois. Conductor Wilson says
rts ever that they have a mighty fine band
of stars down Urbana way; perhaps as good
ompany as our own. He's going 'to arrange a
mber of competition concert and find out, if he
known can. It seems that the compulsory

fact Conductor Wilson says that a
number of men tell him each year that
they selected Michigan for their uni-
versity work because they had heard
the band and wanted to play in it.
Started Formation
Since 1914 the band has been uni-
formed as at present. Previous to
that time it dressed up for the big
events in a semi-military uniform
something after the fashion of the M.
A. C. tooters. About a year after get-
ting its new clothes, just to show its
appreciation, the band started the
stunt of forming the big "M."
Band men are presented each year
with a watch charm appropriately dec-
orated. In addition to this they, re-

contrast to his health colored skin;
he *means much to our University for
he gave 25 years of his life toward its
betterment.
You have undoubtedly seen him;
many times strolling about the cam-

"The first year I was treasurer for
the University I took in something
like $1,200," said the major. Imagine
