The es-I tablishment of the Alpha chapter at Michigan took place in 1918. This organization was made to form a strong bond among women in the de- partment of oratory of the various universities, to form a strong link be-' tween the University and former stu-1I dents, and to promote social and in- tellectual enterprises among members and to cultivate a closer bond of friendship. Miss Amy Loomis, '22, director of the Junior girls' play, "Castles in Spain" was made an honor- ary menber last month and Miss Jessie Bonstelle of the Bonstelle com-' pany, became a member this month. The organization publishes a semi- annual magazine, the "Mask" in which' the work of other chapters is setl forth. The Alpha chapter at Michiganj is only honorary, although other, chapters in the state are active also. The bi-ennial convention was held atr Michigan last year and this year will be held at the Beta chapter of Illi- nois. Delta. Sigma. Rho, honorary oratori- cal society includes both men and women.

Besides these, there are the pro- fessional honorary societies, Rho Chi, a pharmateutical organization inclid- ing men and women, T-Square, archi- tectural, for women only and Iota Sigma Pi, society for the promotion of fellowship and mutual advancement of chemistry among women.

There hangs the overcoat in a closet, shining, emptily gorgeous, and gazing at it, the man whose other half it was, feebly tragic now, bowed under ani- mal despair, a hunted blankness in his face, aged arms curved stiffly atl lhis side.

Though The Last Laugh is. partly the result of remarkable di-j recting, the honors go to Emil Jann- ings, who has created, out of the old porter an unforgetable character, un- forgetable for restraint, for intelli- gence, for difficult subtleties, for in- tense bodily translation of inward tragedies, but above all for that im- agination, rarest and highest gift of: acting, which forges one piece out of the actor and the elements of hks sub- ject.

Instead of puerile printed interruptions, in The Last Laugh we have events piling up under the tragic weight of silence.
