KELLAR YOU ARE CORDIALLY LNVITED TO- Som time ago, The-Daily published an editorial entitled "A Dead Body,' the body in question being the Inter- fraternity council. The editorial was by way of being a complaint that this organization, founded for the purpose of fostering a good spirit among the various campus fraternal organiza- tions, had crawled into its shell and died. The Daily was apparently wrong; it seems that the organization was not dead, but sleeping, as the tombstones say: for yesterday it woke up long enough to pass a perfectly ridiculous bit of legislation about fra- true that something must be done to bar liquor from fraternal festivities and to curb the growing tendencyjm U sIC to let parties degenerate into brawls; but it is difficult to see in what man- DON'T LOOK AlTI ner the issuance of invitations will THE BOTTOM OF D R A M A bring this result.

"Icebound," as a play, is excellent theatre, it has a Broadway success to its credit, and Phyllis Povah, a for- mer member of Comedy Club--if such a sentiment -adds to its local favor-- took the leading role in its New York production.I lThe third bill, to be offered some- time in January, has been definitely announced as "It.

The play was recently presented in Cleveland with KatherineI Wick Kelly in the cast, and pro- nounced by the New York Times su- perior even to the Theatre Guild per- formance. Miss Kelly, incidentally, will appear in the Ann Arbor produc- tion. Following their custom of present- ing a frankly experimental produc- tioi at their January program, Com- edy Club will produce George Bernard Shaw's three-act farce, "The Admir- able Bashville," in Sarah Caswell An- gell hall Thursday evening, January 15-nine days after college re-opens. The performance becomes 'especially significant since the directors have just received word from Samuel French, Shaw's American agent, that according to their records this will be the first authorized productIon of the play in America; imagine the enthus- iasm: a Shaw premier in Ann Arbor! The play was selected before the or- ganization realized this, merely be- cause it seemed such a positive, rat- tlingly funny burlesque-a radically l modern farce on pugilism written in Elizabethan blank verse: the possi- bilities at the outset are tremendous.
