SPEAKERS EX-GOVERNOR LOWDEN OPENS COURSE OCT, 12 William Allen White, Judge Ben Lindsey,' Stephen Leacock Also Booked What is expected to be one of the most popular lecture courses given in this University will be opened October 12 in 11111' auditorium when former Gov. Frank Lowden of Illinois will speak on the "Organization of Gov- ernment". A program which will in- clude lectures by such notables as William Allen White, Judge Ben Lind- say, and Stephen Leacock will be giv- en throughout the school year under the auspices of the oratorical associa- tion of the University. Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood of the public speaking department who was busy last spring arranging the pro- gram and who has been active during the entire summer getting in touch with well-known, lectureres, states- men, and diplomats, stated yesterday that. the program this year would be the most expensive given in this Uni-. versity. Sinc the course was started it has been considered the finest lec- ture course in America. To date, there are ten numbers scheduled and 'efforts are now being made to secure another American speaker. Portmanteau Players Scheduled In the way of an innovation, on November 27 the Portmanteau Plays of the Stuart Walker company will give two performances. In the afternoon they will give two of Lord Dunsany's plays, "The Gods of the Mountain", andy "The Murderers". The evening program wllr consist of a presentation of "The Book of Job". As a second n'umber on the oratoric- al lecture course series following ex- Governor Lowden's address, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the woman's suffrage movement of Am- erica and former president of the wo- man's puffrage movement of the world, will speak on "Woman's World Move- ment". On November 9 Gay MacLaren will give a dramatic recital. Miss Mac- Laren, who has been called by many critics "a whole theater company in herself", will give Gilda Varesi's "En ter Madame". White to Talk on Harding William Allen White, well-known author and journalist, will be the next to appear on the lecture series. He will speak December 11 on ':Two Hours with President Harding". As the first number on the course in 1924, Judge Ben Lindsay will speak. Judge Lindsay was in Ann Arbor a few years ago when he spoke on "Why Kids Lie". His lecture was one of the most popular on the course at that time and it is thought that be will be one of the crowd-getters on this year's series. The exact date and subject of his lecture has not been learned as yet, but it s thought that it will be given on either January 7 or 8. The latest addition to the course is a lecture by Leon Bakst, well-known designer of costumes and stage set- tings and a .notable figure in the art world. le will speak January 12 on "Costume and Personality". Tta kimmen to be Discussed "Tutankhamen and Recent Discover- ies in Upper Egypt" will be discussed on January 16 by Arthur Wegall, famous Egyptologist and inspector general of antiquities of Egypt. He is said to have been present at the opening of the tomb and to be well- qualified to talk on such a subject. Stephen Leacock, author and hum- orist, will close the program on Marchj 5 when he is sche~duled to talk, on "Rediscovering England". If another speaker is secured as it is hoped he will be placed in the course at any date that it will be possible to se- cure him.-° Sell Individual Reserved Seats..

STATE TROOPS WIL OPPOSE LAWMAKERS Oklahoma Governor Orders Use of Armed Fore to Preyen: Ses- sion of Representatives TROOPS TO SEOOT TO KILL IF NECESSARY Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 24.- -(By A.P.)-Adjutant General B. H. Markham tonight was ordered by Gov. J. C.. Walton to "use all force of arms necessary" to prevent the session of lower house of the Oklahoma legisla- ture called for noon Wednesday. Citizen Soldiers Ordered Out All citizen soldiers of the state be ween the age of 21 and 45 were di- rected in the order to hold themselv- es in readiness "with such arms as they possess or can obtain" to come to the assistance of the sovereign state of Oklahoma when qrdered to do so by the governor." As a precaution against any attack of the legislatures to meet elsewhere than the house chamber at the capitol the 'overnor also directed Adjutant. -General Markham to disperse the meeting at "any other time or place in the state." Governor Determined With issuance of the military order all doubt was removed as to the ex- ecutive's determination to prevent the house's session which has been called by his opponents to consider his im- peachment. The adjutant general was ordered to use all military force of the state if necessary to disperse the assembly. - Governor Walton reiterated his charge that the proposed meeting would be an unlawful assemblage, "dominated and controlled by the so- called invisible empire." "The troops will be ordered to shoot4 to kill, if that is necessary, Governor .Walton told newspaper men. "I hope, howeversthat no such, measures will -be necessary." MUSIC SCHOOL STAF HAS MANY ADDITIONS Vanderbilt Plans To Come En Masse Just how many Vanderbilt students will journey up to Ann Arbor from Nashville, Tenn., for the game Oc- tober 13, is difficult to conjecture, but an estimate by F. K. Girasty, student manager of the Vanderbilt team; places the percentage at four-fifths of the entire student body. In a let- ter to Homer Heath, general manag- er of the Union, Mr. Grasty stated yesterday that there would be one special train from Nashville, and pos- sibly two, and "that by some way or other four-fifths of the Vanderbilt student body would be in Ann Arbor to see the game." TRYOUTS CA9LLED FOR -UNION OPERAi Shuter Arrives Here; Starts Praet'iee Machinery Mov- Ing SINGERS AND :COIEDIANS ARE PARTICULARLY NEEDED Tryouts for the cast of the 1924 Union opera, the eighteenth annual) sho', the name of which has not yet been announced, were called for late yesterday afternoon by E. Mortimer 'Shuter, director. Mr. Shuter arrived in Ann Arbor yesterday morning from New York where he spent the summer, and by afternoon had the reins of the coming show in his hands, call- ing for men to fill some of the 18 po- sitions in the cast. Singers and Comedians Needed. Singers and comedians are partic- ularly needed this year, .and the rea- son is not hard to seek. It is ru- mored that the show will be taken to New York and other eastern cit- ies, and is to play at the Metropol- itan Opera house in New York, and theaters of similar reputation in oth- er places. Inferior singing and com- edy would be disastrous, and men must be found to take the singing and comedy parts in the cast. Good stage comedians are not nec- essa ily "funny boys" on the street or in the house, it is pointed out, and some serious minded individuals of- ten make the biggest hits on the I stage. Mr. Shuter 'points to Fred Stone as an example of the latter class. Careful Tryout to Be given "I want to meet men who believel they will make good comedians on the stage," the director declared, "and not those who have a cheap line of humor." As to singers, Mr. Shuter desires men with good voices, trained if possible, but he is not looking for the raw type of entertainer. "Every man, whether he has singing, acting or comedy ability, will be given a careful tryout.
