For Ordinary Layman Desiring
To Keep Illusion
Revealing secrets of the world
back-stage, tracing the interesting
events in the lives of great authors,I
giving an insight into the real cir-j
cumstances surrounding the produc-
tion of most popular plays, and dis-
cussing the position of a dramatic
critic to his readers, Alexander Wooll-f
cott, reported to be the foremost
dramatic critic in Amierica today,
amused and was well received by a
large audience last night in Hill audi-
torium.
Mr. Woollcott, who is dramatic cri-
tic of the New York World, appeared4
here in the sixth number of the sea-
son lecture course of the Oratorical
program. William C. Dixon, '28L,
president of the association, intro-
duced the speaker.
"Behind the Scenes" was the title
of the critic's lecture, and his first
object was to discuss the statement
that when the ordinary layman goes
back-stage for the first time he loses
his illusions. Mr. Woollcott pointed
out that back-stage is no place for the
ordinary layman to go, for unless"his
mind has reached a certain stage, he
will thereafter fail to appreciate the
wonders that are apparently produced
on the stage.
He told his audience that the pre-
sentation of a play does not represent
merely the production of an author,
nor the performance of an actor, but
a collaboration of many elements.
Denouncing the idea that people!
should not be interested in their
neighbors, Mr. Woollcott said, "I am
a gossip and I am not ashamed of it."
By being a gossip, ,he said, he greatly,
amuses himself by constantly discov-
ering things of interest about actors,!
playwrights, and the production of
plays.
To illustrate the many personal ele-
ments connected with a play with
which the average audience is un-
familiar, Mr. Woollcott gave in brief
the history of the production, "Alias,
Jimmy Valentine." This story, he
pointed out, was a dramatization of 0.
Henry's story "The- Retrieved Refor-
mation." George Tyler, play financier,
had a company playing in Chicago
with H. B. Warner as the leading;
man. The company failed within two
weeks and it was necessary for Mr.
Tyler to secure another play for his
company.

Proposals for carrying into effect
President Clarence Cook Little's planst
relative to the admission and reten-
I tion of students in the University will
be placed before the President's spe-
cial committee at its initial meeting
today.
Discussion at the meeting today is
expected to center around the appli-
cation blank which henceforth is to
be used by students applying for en-
trance to the University, and which,
in eight pages will give a wealth of
information about time student, his
academic record, private interests, and
family history. Questions relating to
the value of this information, and
methods for making use of data so
gathered in the student's interest, will
also probably come before the com-
mnittee.
Registrar Ira M. Smith, chairman of
the committee, yesterday indicated
that other questions which will be
considered include the feasahility of
interviewing students prior to their
registration in the fall; the practic-
ability of adopting the mentor sys-
tem, such as is in practice in the
engineering college, by other colleges'
of the University; the wisdom of in-
viting high school teachers to visit
University classes; the value of con-
ferences between University officials'
and principals of the state's high I
schools; and other matters relative to
registration next fall.
At present, high school authorities
in recommending students for en-
trance in the University, are request-
ed to outline courses of study for
which they believe the student is es-
pecially fitted. The practicability of
extending this work, will also be dis-
cussed.
Those serving on the President's
committee, aside from the chairman,
are: Professors J. B. Edmonson, W.
A. Frayer, C. C. Fries, H. F. Adams,

IFIREMAN; DISCOVERS BLAZE
Seeing a curtain on i fire in
the home of E. C. Nicholson, at 1
444 South State Street late yes-
terday afternoon, President Clar-
ence Cook Little entered the
house hurried up the stairs in
order to put out the blaze.
By the time he reached the
burning room, however, the oc-
cupants of the house had also
discovered the conflagration,
which was speedily extinguished.
The fire was caused by a lighted
cigarette dropped into a waste
basket.


Sargenit Calls
Violation Of
Laws Natural,
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Attorney
general Sargent has studied the re-
lationship of prohibition and crime
waves, and has reached the conclu-
sion that there is logic in the position
of the person who, paid a bribe by re-
spectable citizens for breaking the
liquor laws continues in a career of
crime.
In his first public discussion of pro-
hibition enforcement since taking
charge of the Department of Justice,
Mr. Sargent asked the members of the
New York State Bar association
whether "it is any wonder that ban-
ditry, murder, bribery and corruption
flourish," when' devout citizens con-
stantly are paying the criminal in-
clined to take the risk of violating
other laws.I
The 18th amendment and the Vol- 1
stead act, he said are settled laws of
the land and must be enforced, and
he urged the lawyers to give thought,
to the problem how enforcement may!
be accomplished. The attorney-gen-
eral added that he would not be drawn
into a discussion of other phases of
the question, inasmuch as Congress
has acted on the whole matter, but
decided to talk over the "situation"
with a view to solving the enforce-
ment problem by finding the "real
root of the trouble."
"Every person who sells liquor does
it solely and only because some one
will pay a price high enough to make
a profit sufficient to offset the chance,
of detection, conviction and punish-
ment. To put it differently, everyl
such sale is the direct result of the
offer and payment by the purchaser,
or a bribe to commit the offense. Is
there any escape from this as a logi-
cal conclusion?"
"Whether the policy of envoking
and exercising the power. in this par-
ticular matter when and as it has been
exercised was wise or unwise is no#
longer open to discussion. It has,
been done. It is an accomplished
fact. Not only is the law settled but
to all a teahrances if we can tude eof

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Navy

Davis Will Make
Study Of Plants
In Jamaica Soon
Prof. B. M. Davis of the botany de-
artment will leave for Jamaica Feb.
7 to make a study of the plant life
o that island. He expects to make
his base at a coffee plantation and
rom thmre make excursions into the
mountains and rain forests. While
there, Professor Davis will study the
tropical rain forests, sugar, coffee, and
banana plantations, and the vegeta-
ion along" the coast line. According
to Professor Davis, there is probably
no area the size of Jamaica that of-
fers such a variety of plant condi-
tions to the botanist.
Professor Davis will return to Ann
Arbor for the Summer session.
