FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1925 Night Editor-ROBERT T. DE VORE J TO THE VICTORS The 'campus electionsa are over. Four years ago we might have said that we are about to go "back to normalcy." Four score and ten years ago we might have said "To the vic-f tors belong the spoils." But what shall we say today? Within the next two weeks the newly elected officers will announceC their committee appointments. There may be evidences of Campaign prom-r -ses in some of them. And whether the campus likes it or not, the old spoils system may prevail. There may be, as there probably h'ave been during the last twenty- four hours, cries of "politics, poli- tics." People will find fault with the new officers, their committees, andr everything connected with them. Peo- ple like to do that. But while these people are com- plaining, how many of them will re- member that, not so long ago, they were asked to take the first step to- ward eliminating politics on the cam- pus, asked to place campus offices on a business-like basis. How many of them will remember how, just a few weeks ago, they failed to support the Union amendment which was the first step toward putting campus poition= on a basis of- merit, instead of "pull," When the amendment was propos- ed, the campus at large did not even bother to vote, instead giving a com- paratively small group of men, who thought that somebody was trying to "put something over on them," the opportunity of defeating the amend- with the automobile manufacturer in working publications boys will be the Muscle Shoals affair should lead handed out at the Union tonight (pro- him to close the deal as soon as poa- vided this is published on Wednes- sible. 1 day).

It was with the best interests of the people of Chicago in mind that the final settlement was made. Admitting that the diversion over the 4,167 cubic! feet per second maximum has been illegal, it was readily seen that care had to be taken not only in giving. justice to the Great Lakes intrests but also in showing mercy to the peo- ple of Chicago, who are in no way to blame for the illegal act. If those who are now meeting in Cleveland under the direction of At- torney General Andrew B.

The one is Henrik Ilbsen's "The Wildj Duck"; the other is Jerome K. Jerome's "The Passing of the Third Floor Back ." Mr. Hollister's production of this very second play was excellent -in his manner--at many points, and the character work of Ludema Williams, Frieda Bank, Florence Nel- son, and Kathryn Clarke was con- vincing, highly talented. Norman Johnson as the Christ in Blue Denim however, was very bad, not neces- sarily in his own right, but chiefly because the part simply defies any adequate treatment. - I have even seen as fine an actor as Pedro de Cordoba flounder as helplessly. Evi- dently the only possible technique for such a characterization is to ring in an al fresco bass-baritone, theI plaster smile of a sweet Raphael, and the pawing handclasp of a show- off. But beyond the penny pathos of its theme the measured popularity aruosed by "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" absolutely baffles des- cription. Even if the thesis were anything but sheers broiiesEdgar G-uest, even if its shallowness were hidden by the grateful art of a Forbes-Robertson, the play would have absolutely no action other than a series of patly sentimental dia- logues filled with a certain heavy humor. If a man in real life were to start prattling as this parlor Jesus does in Mr. Jerome's scene, anyone,, even the local Janies Morell, would jumpoon his soft aphorisms, nelo- dramatically kick him into the nickel- odeon street. 4 f # THE INESTIMABLE BEAUTY OF FLOWERS MAKE THEM AN APPRE- CIATED GIFT.

Last night the- Ann Arbor Play- makers presented in their Playshop on Spring street two one 'act plays: "Whole-Heartedly to Clotho," written and directed by Paul Osborn and Wal- ter Donnelly of the Rhetoric depart- ment, and "The Prince Wants a Cher- ry Pie," written b yePauline Benedict Fisher and directed by Mrs. A. D. Moore. These productions, which will be repeated tonight and Saturday night, comprise the second entertain- ment of their third season. The first play, which is really a dramatic sketch rather than a play at all, is strictly in the modern manner. It is concerned with a woman, a poet, and a successful writer. Thme latter is extremely disconcerting, and shat- ters a dream or two. Ruth von Bach Scherer as Jean Prior is as confidenti- ally charming as ever. Ludlow Barnes as Bobby Summers the poet, does a difficult part well. He manages to achieve just the right proportion of wistfulness, naivete, and idealistic firmness. "The Prince Wants a Cherry Pie" is a pure fantasy, presented in an un- usually clever setting, which is not the least virtue of the piece. Whether or not a pie can be fashioned out of marschino cherries, rather than the ordinary variety, may not be the most excellent dramatic material, but it proves sufficiently entertaining. Mimi, a maid, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Pastrypot, in the persons; of Beth Hibarger and Richard Morrow Steiner, contrive to quite run off with the interest in the odd affair. The Playmakers, as a "little the- ater" organization, cannot be judged by ordinary dramatic standards as are applied to the professional companies. The Playshop is quite frankly a la- boratory for play-writing and play- production, and as such must receive special consideration. Limited stage and seating facilities offer serious dif- ficulties in the way of technical mat- -The Oklahoma Daily. * * * FLAMING JUVENILITY-a revue, i A ment.
