fac that the employees who oper-
the moving picture machines can
hear these noises due to a thick

aembered that the work of getting
reel ready to continue is the main

bit which shows lack of courtesy,

ODE TO A HAIRPIN
Brown, waspish, crinkled form,
Idle now for ever more,
Somehow as I gaze on thee'
!A sense of pity seizes me;
Once thou coudst not be replaced,
Now thy duty's all effaced,
Thine and all they store.
Thou art like a man undone
In one brief couase of the sun
Ere his usefuness is gone,
Thou, and millions more!

Are closer far attained; of that I

TO DENIZENS
Mr. Jason Cowles; Dear Sir:
Acting in my capacity as Ex Offi-
cio Pro Tem of Denizens, Aristophanes
chapter, I wish to sumit a report of
the recent meeting of Monday, March
31.
The meeting was subdued by the
Id Est Ex Post Facto, and various re--
ports were called for. These reports,
when submitted, proved to be of sun-
dry subjects. Following the reports,
details concerning the club were con-
sidered, and definite action taken.
At this gathering, it was found that
several officers were elected errone-
ously, inasmuch as they were not
members of the organization. Need-
less to say, this serious error was
promptly rectified.'
Applications for membership were
considered intermittently, but were
which limits membership to four mem-
rejected upon a constitutional clause
bers. Mr. Caligula, having also ap-
plied, was accepted into the august
body by extending the constitutional
limit.

Pr

F. Ray ConistoCk and Morris Gest,-
the producers who are noted for the
long chances which they have taken in
I presenting such remarkable produc-
tions as -"The Miracle" and the
"Chaune Souris" have taken no
chances at all in their latest venture
in musical comedy.
"Sitting Pretty," which opened
last week at the Shubert Detroit is
as near to beir~ a sure, fire h it a_,
any show can he. There are several
very good reasons for this, chief
among them being Queenie Smith, the
former ballet dancer with the Metro-
politan Opera Company who, in here
first appearance on the musical com-
edy, stage in "1-lelen of Troy, New
York," stopped the show for a half
hour, a thing which hadn't been done
at a New York first night in years.
In her first star part in her own
right Miss Smith shows real acting
ability in addition to a personality
a bit more vivid and captivating than
any of her contemporaries, including
Edith Day. Her dancing is actually
beyond compare, her previous train-
ing giving her a grace and skill that
put it far above the musical comedy
class, and took an unusually unre-
sponsive audience off its feet.
Other reasons are furnished by
Guy Bolton and P. (. Wodeloas 's
bock and Jerome Kern's music.. The
book is typical of the nior= modern
musical shows in the large amount of
clever satire which appears thru-
out and threatens to overpower the
plot in several occasions. The charac-
ters usually seem in doubt as to
whether their next speech is to take
up the plot or to kid the public.
The music is exceedingly tuneful
thruout, as might be expected where
Kern is involved, several pieces are,
in fact, hard to forget. In particular
we pick "Shuffling Sam" as the song
hit of the summer. Other candidates
for this position are "Mr. and Mrs.
Rorer" and "Bongo, on the Congo."
The scenery and costumes are quite
elaborate and the opening scene of
the second act ranks as one of the
most beautiful ever taken on tile road.j
Queenie Smith's support accomplish-
ed the difficult task of keeping up to
the pace set by the authors and the
lead. Dwight Fry, in his first appear-
ance in musical comedy does very well
as does Gertude Bryan. Frank Mc-
Intyrel born and bred in this town-
ship is brimming with irresistable hu-
mor. Before the final curtain a large
part of the audience was willing to
laugh every time he opened his mouth.
THE ANN ARBOR PLAYMAKERS
are presenting an invitation perfor-
mance of Robert Frost's one-act trag-
edy, "A Way Out," in honor of the
author's visit, this evening in the Dodo
Playshop.
The audience will be composed of
