Ailes CAMPUS OPINION IEditor, The A.Michigan Daily: Your leading article "Photoplay Chinaman" which appeared in The Daily yesterday seemed to justify the unfair representations made by the motion picture producers of Chinese life and manners 1ather than to lend your support to their immediate elim- ination. While the article agreed that such a portrayal of things Chinese is an injustice to the Chinese people, the article went on to say that "all char- acters of a photoplay cannot be he- roes; there must be some with defi- ciencies or undei-rable qualities". It continued to say that "after all, it is like telling a novelist how to draw his characters,-for at basis the movie is a story." Such statements show the misunderstanding of the real obje-. tion in the eyes of the Chinese peo- ple towards the misrepresentations of the moving picture industry. It is conceded, however, that in a. story or play all characters cannot be heroes, nor do we wish to appear to advise a novelist in the manner he draws his characters. But the unde- sirable elements should not be por- trayed at the expense of friendly na- tions by the ignorant screen dramat-' ists. However, we do not mind so much if a film actor or actress imi- tating Chinese personality plays the role of a villain or a vamp, but what we do op ose is that he or she acts contrary to Chinese custom. In most of the pictures ordinary Chinese or persons playing the part of Chinese' wore mandarin robes that were worn by Chinese officials more than a doe- ado ago. In* the picture, "East is; :Wpst", a Swedish actor portrayed the part of a rich China.;e restaurant own- er and purposely *walked with a gait that purported to be the Chinese! manner of waiking. There are nu- merous instances in which our peo- ple, customs, and life are wrongfully depicted. The above mentioned exam- ples are the least objectionable, yet: serve as a perceptible contrast be- tween actual conditions of Chinese life at home and the conditions appearing on the screen. In short, we take ex- 1ception not to the undesirable roles in which Chinese characters take part but to their manners and ways of act- ing which are totally opposed to mod- ern Chinese life. No sensible person believes the screen to be a medium of instruction t to the public. The American people as a whole have so little knowledge Princeton Triangle and the Penn Mas- que and Wig are experiencing good fortune in their yearly attempts. Yet it must be realized that they receive the most talented support in their re- spective universities, and in the case of the Triangle ,an alumni member,- ship, with yearly dues, makes possi- ble the financial solvency that it en- joys. To all appearances, the Masque must direct its energies towards local- ized productions, uich as was present- ed this year. If in time it can de- velop to greater things, then the old- time policy may again be acceptable. There seems to be but one alterna- tive, and that is to disband altogeth- er. For the present, at least, th pol- icy adopted this year must be adher- ed to if the Masque is to continue as a Corner institution.

Wagner when they will require that aspirants for positions have a good grounding in the fundamental principles of real estate law, property valuations, and the other elements of the business with which a proficient realtor should be familiar. In a nation of expanding commercial activities such as our own, the real estate business is likely to grow to unsuspected proportions, to become highly specialized, and to demand of all entrants into the business that they bring with them more than an ability to guess. With these things1 in- mind the urging of the realtors of the state that the course in reality be installed here deserves serious and profound consideration. by the wayside Fairer than all its sisters Sweeter than all its kin I knelt to inhale its fragrance And touch its petals In silent worship And passed on.

F. K. W. EDITORIAL COMMENT ION E '2111 PARKER'S CAFE t Corti IWEL L BUILING A man coining to the University with special- ability or knowledge in a certain line usually feels it his duty to enter campus activities in whichs his services may be of value. On the whole, the student publications em- brace' the most interested writers of the student body, and certainly the \Trsity teams represent the best ath- letic powers, while other interests such as the drama call - forth the most able students for participation. ln the case of musical activities, however, this is not the case. 'Ihe best Imusicans of the campus are too often not found in the band, the Union orchestra, the Opera, or otlyer musical activities. The best musi- cians are usually found in the student' orchestras playing professionally upon the campus or in the vicinity of Ann} Arbor. If an individual possesses sufficient talent to be able to earn money. through his tntsic,, no one can deny that it is a perfectly legitimate and enjoyable way to work. But the ten-j dency has shown itself in regard to the great majority of those who play professionally, to forget entirely that they are enrolled in a University where othersare; giving of their tal- ents for its benefit. They adopt the: policy of "no pay, no play". A number of Michigan's musical ac- tivities need the services of just such men as those who refuse to serve unless they are paid. As a result, these activities suffer just as would football if the entrants refused tol work their long hours each day with- out recompense. The quality of Mich- igan's musical activities does not af- fect only Ann Arbor. It affects the opinion of outsiders concerning the University wherever the Band, the. Glee club, or the Opera travels. If the group or musicians who com-, Prise the best talent on the campus would consider themselves more as stidnt and lessa nrnofeinnnsu his home. It seems only consistent, then, that men should carry into their places of bussiness at least some of the beauty and attractiveness characteristic of their residences. A certain prominent doctor has placed his valuable collec- tion of oil paintings in the rooms of his offices, not so much for the pleas-: ant surroundings they will afford his patients, as to make attractive for' himself the place in which he spends many hours every day). In the case of a certain corporation the decora- tion of its offices repaid the stock- holders not only in personal satisfac-, tion but also by a 30 per cent increase in the efficiency of its employes. Other instances of such artistic pride in places of business might be found, but they are far too few. To (build 'beautiful homes and then spend two-thirds of one's waking life in drab and unattractive business sur- roundings is a practice which future generations may gradually brand as foolish. But the sooner Men realize that their places of occupation are also places of abode, the sooner will our metropolitan commercial districts cease to be on the whole an eyesore to the community.f The latest in banditry arrived when two thugs upset tradition by order- ing their victim to keep his hands lowered in order not to arouse the suspicions of passersby. Technically, their game cannot !be called "hold- up". Have you slipped on the icy pave- ments yet? Well, never mind you will!

You have waited all week day; MAINTAIN .LO('AL LOR (Cornell Daily Sun) For a period of about 30 years the Cornell Masque, following the customs of the lay, has in some form or other presented its annual production. It has gone the rounds of dramatic inter- pretation, and the successes it has encountered have varied from the neg- ligible to something approaching gen- .n uine achievement. Taking all factors into considera- tion, howev;-r, the Masque has not been particularly fortunate. The or- ganization has entertained the falla cious idea that it must take its annual trip to make a reputation, whereas, in order to be a success that reputation must be gained before the trip is un- dertaken. Witness the result. It has never enjoyed the undivided approval dhem of its audiences, and several years ago the most elaborate tour ever plan- ned was forsaken when but half com- >leted. The Masques production this year, "Ulysses of Ithaka", marked a radical change in policy, one which may eventually estallish the organization- on its proper basis. The play was written for Cornell; it was localized o that its appeal was directed to Cornellians and Ithacans. An indica- tion of its influence on the two aud!- ences 'before which it was given may be seen in the fact that the Saturday Z night audience was more appreciative, or at least more demonstrative, than for Sun that of Thursday evening, which con-' tained the greater number of Juniorl Week guests . Obviously the produc- tion would not "get-away" before an unprejudiced house in Kalamazoo or Oshkosh, but here in the University' femut~r, environment the humor was under- femurstood. A If the Masques can gradually build up its organization in Ithaca, taking have been ordered for today, as special features at 50c! M1 Arcade Cafeteria Upstairs, Nickels* Arcade ft.ow P QUALITY.
