THE CORNELL MEET It is only fitting that Cornell should compete with Michigan when the first intercollegiate meet is held in the Yost Field house tonight. The ath- letic relation between the two schools is of long standing and has always held a position of first importance. ' The only regret of the University in welcoming the track team from the East is thait the opportunity is not afforded more often. Nothing would better please -the Michigan student body than close relation with Cornell in every form of student activity. The annual track meets, it is to be hoped, will form a basis for renewal of the competition of former days. WILLIAM AND THE MONKEYS Thirty long years ago a brilliant young orator naned William Jennings Bryan sprang full-grown into the midst of a national convention of the Democratic party. In a burst of en- thusiasm he swept the gathering with his ideas on free silver. But that was the end of it. Slowly but surely down through the decades William has become one of the traditions of the Democratic par- ty, as was so clearly demonstrated during the last presidential campaign when he tried to come back through Brother Charlie. But this young wizard with words has not wasted his sweetness upon the desert air for the past three decades. Instead of fading into oblivion with the Democrats he turned his oratori- cal guns upon the theory of evolution, stressing the point that HE never descended from a moneky. Also, in- stead of the desert he picked up tho wilderness of Tennessee wherein to spread the perfume of his petals. Here his efforts have not been wasted for the Tennessee legislature has just passed a measure prohibiting the teaching of evolution in the public schools, normal colleges, and univer- sities of the state. Now the point is not that Bryan and, the Tennessee legislature are at all in the right inj the matter of evolution. There areI thousands of people who disagree, in- cluding the newly formed Science League of America, which numbers among its members such men asj Luther Burbank, and David Starr! Jordan.

MADAME SCHUMANN-HEINK Final arrangements have just been completed to present Ernistine Schu- mann-Heink Tuesday evening, April 28, in the auditorium of the Masonic Temple. Madame Schumann-Heink, although she has been on the concert and operatic stage for more than twenty-five years, is said still to retain the full contralto richness of her voice. For her recent recital in Or- chestra hall, Detroit, the auditorium was sold out even to a capacity stand- ing-room, the stage was filled with some three hundred additional seats, and from four to five hundred people were turned away. Her astonishing vigor and the con- stant quality of her voice have be- come the sensation of recent musical seasons. In addition to her numerous1 concert engagements she has been en- gaged by the management of the Metropolitan Opera house to appear in several of her famous Wagnerianl roles this spring, and her recital last month in New York city was received with unusual enthusiasm by the1 critics. Her local program will doubtless, include many of the same numbers listed in her Detroit appearance, sev- eral opera arias, and a majority of German lieder which she interprets with an almost incomparable appre- ciation. The concert is under the manage- ment of S. Hurok, impressario for Chaliapin and other equally famous artists. The exact details of the mail- order sale will be announced shortly, * * * "A PLAY IN A THOUSAND" John Corbin, at the time the dra- matic critic of the New York Times, wrote the following review of "Out- ward Bound," which Comedy Club is to present at the Whitney theatre Wednesday and Friday evening, April 1 and 3: "Something rather extraordinary happened last night. A play about death, all of the characters of which have passed beyond, caught the atten- tion of a New York audience, enlisted its sympathy, amused in genuinely and genially, and ended by stirring i. to very considerable depths of human pity and pathos. "If there are any people'who object that 'Outward Bound' lacks theologic authority, one will be inclined to agree with them. Sutton Vane, its author, is sa.id to be an English actor, who has written many plays, none of them bril- liantly remembered. But this play has been well spoken of in London by those who should know, and is very successful with its audiences. "The single scene of its three acts I is the bar and smoking room of a small liner. The people who assem- ble seem quite normal folk and in point of fact do not at first know their condition. Sutton Vane's Beyond has points of resemblance with that of Conan Doyle. A part of the drama of the little play, and also of its com- edy, lies in the different processes by which they come to realize what has happened to them.They are troubled by the fact that they do not know just how they came aboard or what port they are bound for. Aside from the steward, who serves drinks at the bar, there are no crew, no officers. And there are no lights to port or starboard. They are sailing in the( dark, a chartless sea. "The steward explains that lie is a 'half-way.' One does not know at first just what he means except that he has presided at some 5,000 such trips. But he is very friendly if a little sad. The first of his customers at the bar is an amiably bibulous and inwardly distracted lad ,who serves to develop the foibles of a pompous and insolent dowager and an equallyi pompous ,hard-boiled M. P.{ "There is also a motherly, cockney! char-woman. The dowager is sur- prised to find such folk aboard, and is I outraged upon learning that on this ship there is no steerage, that all the passengers are of one class. As the play progresses, a very intimate bond .... _U __ __ . MAKE ~77 ELL.
