combinations of woodl and painit andl

even to th-e timse of the Egyptians,
they say, fascinated and intrigued
audiences with their undying vgr
Actors andI art may dlie with lpassing
civilizations, but these grotesqucries'
seem to live eternally.
Sometimes they are called nmario-
nettes, sometimes llpppet; in er'-
many they are known as tatterman,
in~ England as plain Punnch andi Judy.
And the curious Point of th1eir whole
history is that interest in this form
of entertainment was rarely so hig h
as it is today in Ameorica, rfheir ren-
aissance began some ten years ago
when Ellen VanlVaulkenburg w Nith her
husband, MIaurice I~o wn, introdluced
stray imarionette performances of
'MiduiuucrNigt's Dremi" nd

In his place, mounting as artists al-

ing, in this field, Jean Gros. Taking

SBand", for the evening.
There is Mr. Gros' performances,
dou'itle s profiting from former ex-
)Ciipeiuccs,.a studied return to marked
simuplicity. A marionette is so charm-
i ng mnd in]t riguing of himself that he
has no nced of profuse extravagance.
Givena his (dd, impertinent gestures,
,head cocked oni one sidle, hand lifted
in mock-soilemn horror, he can carry
awa y the miot sophisticated audience
on his ow n imudent merits.

4 .--n seven nights in succession, ex-
cept for Sunday. One more perform-
aiic;e is to be added to the nieager six
of, previous years. Meager six! Try
to imagine an Ann Arbor organiza-
tion, with the exception of Mimes
a:. the Michigan Union, packing a
house for even six (different nights.
Paul Stevenson, the new assis-tin4
director, has had all sorts of exper-
ienice in Europe, including a rendo-
ivious with Gordon Cra~ig in, Italy. Be-
isides that, he has studied under Sam
H Iume and Maurice Brown. As is to
be expected, lie is a graduate of Pro-
flessor Baker's '47 "Workshop' of Hlar-
vard university. H~e is something like
twenty-six years old, no more, and is
Imost shockingly modest. The direc-
tor in ch'iei', of courso, is Danil
Quirk.
The perforniances are monthly af-
fairs. The dates exact for the year
are these: November 10-17, omitting
Sunday, but other wise inclusive;
1December 8-15; January 19-26; Feb-
ruary 16-23, and March 23-30. Season
tickets may be had for the sum of
five dollars. If you live in Ypsilanti,
upon the payment of this amount, you
are privileged to call yourself an ac-
tive member. Residents of Ann Arbor,
