TOMORROW NIGH T
The Michigan Theater League is
opening its second season tomorrow
evening at the Whitney theater when
the Cleveland Playhouse under the
direction of Frederic McConuel will
present "The Romantic Age," one of
Milne's most amusing and -purely
theatric comedies.
The complete cast has just been
received, and will include Elmer Lehr{
as Henry Knowle, Virda Stewart, who
played the role of the mother in
"Mixed Marriage," as Mary Knowle,
his wife, Phyllis Tyler as Melisande,
his daughter, Daphne Kimball Wi!-
liams as Jane Bagot his niece, John
Edwards as Bobby Coote, William
Saunders as Ern, John Beiste! as
Gentleman Susan, Helen Barhyte as
Alice, and finally Carl Reid as Ger-
wase Mallory, the ordinary stock brok-
er who suddenly finds himself ro-
mantic by proxy.
fThe satire is literally not only one
of the author's finest works, but in
its manner as lightly entertaining,
fluffy, and skilfull as any contem-
porary British parlor divertisment.
There is romance in the pairs of
lovers, burlesque in the mollusc-
mother, and a saving bit of irony at
the final curtain when Mellisande
deserts her dreams to acquire the
ethics of bread-pudding.
Added to this, the present cast
promises a genuinely finished per-
formance, not as a press enthusiasm,
but judging by their admirable charac-
terizations in "March Hares" and es-
pecially in "Man and Superman." The
production will be interesting, unusual
of course, and best of all, good theater.

The announcement yesterday in the
Drama- and Music column contained
the last straw.
Has that column been instituted to
broaden the scope and power of ama-
teur dramatics or to give a few people
the opportunity to print so-called
clever comment An the never-perfect
productions of those same amateurs?
The former goal should be zealously
sought. Amateur production of plays
is terrifically handicapped in this
University by many things without
having to struggle against any in-
nuendos from amateurs in another
line of endeavor. If the truth remains
that some groups do not attain the
results that others seem to, why not
make constructive suggestions? Why
not enter into the spirit of raising the
standards of the would-be-actor, the
necessary standards of public per-
formances and stirring up of general
opinion and ideas? If a concrete ob-
ject is needed, help the clubs- obtain
a place to rehearse and present their
attempts.

tation. Why? Because it has had
