CAPTAIN APPLEJACK
" Captain Applejack," Comedy Clubs
fortieth annual play is nearly ready
for its presentation at, the Whitney
Theatre, April 2 and _4. The east,'
which has been working intensively
in daily rehearsals for five weeks, in-
eludes some of the best known, talent
onf the campus,
The title role is played by John
Ilassberger whose Rob in "Bnty-
Pulls-the-String," Freddy ,in ""Pyg-
malion," and Nedda lin telast Union
Opera have proved is versatility atnd
talent.
Elizabeth Pike, who plays Anna Va-
leska, has done some of the most
striking character work in Masques'
performances. She had a prominent
part in "The Yellow Jacket," Merry-
thought in "Thie Knight of te Br-
Buning Pestle," and this fall the leading:
role of Capacomico in 'A Thousand
Years Ago"
Charles Livingston, who was the
leading man in "Mr. Pim Passes By,"
has the character part of te eccen
tric Mr. Pengard. Phyllis Turnbul
as Poppy, Rhea Schlaak as Mrs. Pen-
gard, Donald Snyder as Lus, 'Ed-
ward Iarnall as Porolsky, ',have all
done notable'" w.ork with iMasues,
Min~es, Player's Club, and in the Com-
edy Club's program plays.
The play this year is a frank .con-
cession to the demand for a popular
comedy. Having made a long and

to safri the iiistery lay and th
romantic melodrama which has seem-
ed to be one .of the aftermaths of the
war.
It is so original in its conception
and so daring ,i its method that it re-
sembles nothig ever dlone before. It
contains scenes as delicately and sub-
tly executed as Barrie and yet it is
full of the broadest burlesque.

ELEANOR DUSE
(By Edgar 11. Ales)
The climax of the current Detroit i
season' in the drama will occur when
Eleonora Duse, the. famous Italian
tragediena nd hr 'company from
Romie, appear in Praga's "La Port ;
Chiusa," at 8:15 o'clock tomorro v
eight in ,Orsheltra hall. This will be
Duse's only performance in this at

critics everywhere are at one in pro-
nouncing her wonderfully beautiful
and .stll a reigning mistress of dra-
mnatic art. Her present visit- in
America has been a succession of ova-
tions, cities competing with one an-
other for the distinction of presenting
Duse, and the public standing in line
for hours to get a fleetinug glimpse of
her. All of which is highly significant,
in view, of the fact that the perform-
ances are given in Italian and are
staged and acted in an almost anti-
sensational manner -which would sp?11
the doom of most Anmerican prod'i-
tions.
The play which Duse has elected to
within herself to keep the secret of her
son's parentage, to hold him near her
and still to provide for his peace of
mind. Despite the slight value of
P.-aga's work, Duse's interpretation of
the leading role has been characterized'
a;s "noble, calm and infinitely beauti-
furl" and as one which "exalts the
