APIGTRCTS NEAR COMPLETION With the securing of five acts, each containing an original idea, the Spot- light vaudeville is almost ready for its appearance next Tuesday night in Hill auditorium. William W. Mich- aels, '22, who is directing the affair, has a number of tryouts during the last few days and the bill is now al- most complete with acts that have proved themselves to be worthy of produc The program as it appears now will include a wide variety of enter- tainnent, being composed of feature acts, monologues, singing and danc- ing pieces, and a big musical act by some of the well known talent on the campus. James J. Johnson, '23, will appear alone in a singing and playing act which has received the approval of professional critics. The next num- ber on the tentative program is a comedy skit with unique electrical features. This act is entirely new and although it has never before been pre- sented publicly, careful practice has made it perfect. A monologue by William L. Sunderland is sure to prove a success.

The Abbey theater of Dublin was the first repertory theater to be es- tablished in the English speaking countries. It was founded in 1903 by Miss Horiman, who bought it and presented it to the National Irish Theater society. By means of this long period of playing together, this group of act- ors have developed an entirely new technic and individualism of style. It was partly due to their efforts in the presentation of dramas involving Irish traditions and customs that a feeling of national consciousness was aroused in the breasts of the Irish people. "The White Headed Boy" is a gay and delightful comedy of Irish home life, in which the peculiarities and in- tricacies of human life are brought out vividly, while the worn-out Amer- ican eleemnt of human passions is en- tirey disregarded. The performance is being given un- der the auspices of the Ann Arbor branch of the American University Women, the proceeds of which will be donated to the new Women's League building. F0OM TO ISCUSS CO-OP STORE PLAN Faculty Men M¢4et Tonight to Con- sider Advisability of Project Here INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE WILL REPORT ON FINDINGS Discussion of the advisability of es- tablishing a co-operative store at the University will b ethe main work of the University Forum when it meets at 7:30 o'clock tonight in Natural Swence auditorium. Attention has been called to the fact that the Forum cannot Itself or- ganize such a store, it being merely a discussion body. The Forum has determined upon the subject of the co-operative :store becau~)w It feels that the problem is one which inter- ests the students and faculty of the University. Should the material which will be presented at the meeting of the Forum tonight show that a co-oper- ative store is desirable and should the discussion favor the establishment of such a store, steps probably will be taken by men interested in the proj- ect to incorporate. Will Take No Aeton "There is some misundestandng as to the relation of the University For- um to the project of organizing the proposed store," declared Martin - I. ten Hoor, of the English department of the engineering school, who is the chairman of the committe which has collected the material which will be presented at the meeting tonight. "As a body the Forum will merely dis- cuss the advisability of the project." The discussion of the evening will be based on the reports which were received from the c-operative store at other universities and colleges throughout the country. Among the most successful of these are the stores at Yale, Harvard, Ohio State, Illinois, Indiana, Texas, Leland Stan- ford, and California. At all of these places, it has been pointed out, the (Continued on Page Eight) IM Vi1RSITY WOMEN INVITED TO HEAR MRS. H. W.

TODDOONATES. 18 RARE OUMES TO UNIVERSITY BIRD BOOKS, BOTANICAL FOLIOS HAVE BEAUTIFUL BINDINGS COLORED PLATES Announcement was made yesterday at the Library of the donation to the University, by Hon. H. M. Todd, of Kalamazoo, of 79 rare volumes. -Most of these are folios of value because'of the wonderfully colored plates and beautiful bindings. The 79 volumes contain a total of 3,162 full size, col- ored plates. The new books will be placed on exhibition in the near fu- 'ure.

More students visited the reading rooms of the Press building during the after- noon to consult as to the producibil- ity of their plots than came during the whole period of the first scenario contest. Those that have already been sub- mitted for consideration show a no- ticeable improvemnt in style and dra-1 matic possibilities, according to the! judges. The entrants have been at- tempting less descriptive work and' developing more the ideas that form the basis for their stories. The "rah- rah" college life of the ordinary movie is being avoided and a real attempt is to be noted in several instances to portray the studious and serious side! of college activity. It is again emphasized by the judg-C es that the idea for the movie i's pri- marily sought in the present con- (Continued on Page Eight) BISHOP WILL SPEAK BEFORE UNIVERSITY WOMEN SATURDAY Librarian W. W. Bishop will address the members of group 1 of the Ann Arbor branch of the American Asso- ciation of University Women, in room 11.0 of the Library, at 3:30 o'clock Sat- urday afternoon. The lecture will be illustrated. Following this the asso- ciation and their guests will be shown through the building. DISTRIBUTION Of HOP iTICKETS BEGINS TOA 700 APPLICATIONS APPROVED AND RETURNED BY COMMITTEE Tickets for the J-Hop will be sold to 700 of the number applying .for them, according to R. D. Gibson, '23, chairman of the ticket committee. They will be sold on Friday and Sat- urday, each man securing his ticket at the hour specified on his accept- ance. Accepted applications should be brought with the applicant when he buys his ticket in order to facilitate the work of distributing so large a number of tickets. Tickets for the Hop are positively non-transferable, that is no one may purchase a ticket and then sell it to someone else. Those who have tick- ets which they are unable to use may return them to the committee and have their money refunded. It was found necessary to refuse more than 200 applications for tick- ets, the applicants for some of which were juniors. In many cases the ap- plications stated that the dues had been paid but when the class treas- urer had been consulted it was found that such was not the case. Also ac- ceptances were not sent to many who it was found had an insufficient num- ber of hours to be considered juniors even though they had spent three years on the campus. Those juniors on the campus who registered at the beginning of this year as freshman laws were also refused as next year they will be junior laws and ,will have a chance to attend next year's Hop. All sophomores and freshmen as well as a few seniors who applied for tickets have had their applica- tions refused. i { ; GUEST LISTS FOR HOP EXTRA H All organizations whose lists of guests for the Junior Hop are to appear in the Hop extra must mail or bring to the editorial of- fices of The Daily a typewritten list of guests not later than Mon- day evening, Feb. 6. No lists will be received after that time, but any necessary corrections in the original lists will be made. oriinl lst wllead. I 1 . Hill Auditorium Monday Eve.
