skit, "Mister Macbeth, With Varia-
tions," with Rosenthal, the author, and
Deebach in the leading roles supported
by a cast. What Mr. Shuter declares
to be a veritable find is the remarkable
playing of Bertrand Bronson, '21, and
Gage Clark, '22. Bronson will present
as a violin solo a classical selection,
with piano accompaniment by Clarke.
A cornet solo will be next, after which
Mirrielees and Roderick will put on
their number. Mirrielees has written
the monologue himself. A novelty soft
shoe dancing act by Philip Ringer,
'22, and Earl Powers, '22P, with brand
new steps, will follow. The grand
finale is to be "Shubert's Serenade,"
by the entire company.

lications similar to Chimes from some
of the other colleges, the observation
is made that there are only two or
three that approximate Chimes in size
or in effusiveness of illustration. The
Cornell Era, perhaps, exceeds Chimes
in the last named feature, but it seems
to have as its dominant purpose the
publishing of excellent photographs.
Most of the other publications are
strictly literary stories and poems are'
the features. They do not cater to
student opinion, so a fair comparisoni
with Chimes cannot be made.

bation of the campus but it also de-

ever, in his opinion, the coming pro-
duction surpasses his previous work
due to the exceptional ability of the
material with which he has worked.
In speaking of the performance Mr.
Shuter said: "The term 'minstrel
show' to describe the first offering of:
the combined musical clubs, is a bit
misleading, inasmuch as the produc-
tion displays remarkable musical tal-
ent, some of the best which I have
seen on the Michigan campus. 'Min-
strelsy' is 4 mnch more fitting appel-
lation for the production. Recognizing
the talent which the musical clubs
present this year, it has been my 'aim
not to submerge the musical offerings
beneath a flow of the usual end man
chatter. We have worked to strike a
happy medium between the two and in
my opinion have secured just enough
of each to insure a well balanced,
thoroughly enjoyable program."

TEACHIN' SPIDERS
T-HAT'SHHRWORK
Wheaton, Ill., Dec. 11-Educating,
a spider is a task rarely undertaken.
Mrs. Elizabeth Marriott Moffatt, of
Wheaton, one of the few students of
spiders in the country, however set
herself to it and this is what she
writes of her experience:
"By far the most common spider in
this country is the one known as the
'black-and-brown ', speckled garden
spider,' Agelena naevia," said Mrs.
Moffatt. "The species although called
the garden spider, is often found in
our houses where it builds a flat sheet
web in some corner, always having a
funnel at the rear, into which the
spider can escape when disturbed.
The body is from. one-half to three-
quarters of an inch in length. At the
back end two of the spinnerets pro-
ject, looking like little pointed tails.
"A fully grown specimen was cap-
tured and put into a wide mouthed.
half-ounce bottle. This was laid on
its side on the library table. Every
day she was given a small drop of
water and one or several houseflies.
The flies were fed to her by placing
one in a bottle similar to that in which
the spider was caged, placing a card
over the mout hof the bottle that con-
tained the fly, withdrawing the cork
from the spider's bottle, placing the
two bottles mouth to mouth, and then
removing the card.
"At once the spider would rush into
the second bottle, seize the fly and re-
turn with it to her own bottle. She
soon learned to run to the mouth of
her bottle whenever I approached her
with water or a fly.
"After a few days the cork was
taken out. of her bottle so that she
could come and go at will. She would
wander about the table crawling over
and around books and papers but al-
ways retreating to hers bottle when
frightened. She had built a small
web in it, with a crude retreat at the
farther end and had adopted it as her
home.
"She learned so readily to come for
food and water that I am led to won-
der whether Fabre's contention that
every act that a spider performs is
impelled by an instinct that has come
down to it through untold genera-
tions,' is not subject to some modifica-
tion."
This animal, which seems to mave
borne a remarkable resemblance to a
cow decorated in cubist fashion, was
caged in a dilapidated wagon, on
which was mounted the lion tamer, re-
splendent in red tights, all 90 pounds
of him.
All this was in the days before tea
shops came into vogue. "University
women" were then called co-eds and
they weren't worn so frequently.
The Union ran minstrel shows in
1906-7-10 and 11 The money raised
in this manner went toward the big
fund that is now turned into the brick
'and stone of the Union building.
Admirals Starred
The Boat club, a trick organization
officered by admirals and ensigns and
other profane titulars, put 'on a min-
strel show in 1915. Hill auditorium
was the scene of the revel, and 3,000
turned out to see the doings. Otto
Wismer, '15L, was awarded the palm
as the "sensational minstrel,'- while
H. L. Nutting, '15L, presided over the
riot as interlocutor.
Incidently, it may be worth noting
that "Somewhere a Voice is Calling"
was the vocal hit of the evening.
So minstrels aren't exactly an inno-
vation in Ann Arbor. But wouldn't it
be fine if they always had a parade?
"MINSTRELSY" WILL OUTDO
PERCY'S."RELIQUES"'TIS SAID
(Continued from Page One)
entertainments which contained music
and poetry, together with some small
bit of action and mimicry, and which
were given by travelling bodies of
men. "Minstrelsy," the Glee and Man-
dolin club's production will in a way
be a combination of minstrelsy in the
old sense and of the modern minstrel
show.
Those who have seen the rehearsals
say that the show has struck the happy
and congenial medium between the
two definitions, which will make it
one of the biggest successes of the
collegiate year.
