CONVOCATION-A SUCCESS
It was an embarrassing day Sun-
day, for those who with smug com-
placency announced that the Student)
council's plan for holding Convoca-1
tions for discussion of {topics in the
field of religion in which students'
might be interested would attract a
"mere handful." The more than 4,0001
students who filed into Hill auditori-
um Sunday to hear Dr. Alexander
Meiklejohn, former, president of Am-
herst college, discuss "The Student
and His Religion," constitute a direct
refutation to such pessimistic asser-
tions.
The 4,000 heard a masterful presen-
tation of a vital subject by an educa-
tor of eminence. But they gained

We are always reluctant to run ma-
terial which we don't quite under-
stand. How do we know that they
are not subtly salacious or otherwise
distasteful to the readers of this de-
partment? And then on the other
hand we have to admit a strange sort
of admiration and awe for any com-
munication which goes over our head.I
Sometimes we have a vague feeling
that they are just plain dumb and
that we are the same for thinking
that they are too much for us. #

"THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE"
A review, by Sir Toby Tiffin.
Add to the list of amateur produc-
ing organizations which are achieving o
something more than conventional
stock interpretations of worthy plays,!
The Detroit Repertory Theatre. Work-
ing under the greatest handicap be-
cause of inadequate stage facilities,1 odd Shae
they give a well conceived and highlyr
enjoyable performance of Shaw's HAL
(seems to us we've heard that name STATE STR
before) "The Devil's Disciple" every
week-end evening.
This play has always appealed to
us as the high water mark of Shavian
endeavor. It does not show anything
particular as to the author's psy- P LE
chological development perhaps, but
it is one of the few cases in which
their is "a real effort at good dramaticD0®
construction, and to Americans at
! least, the keenest satire and most
amusing comedy. Few scenes in all M A
Shaw's pieces can compare with the
Burgoyne scene and few characters
are as richly amusing as "GentlemenPAT
Johnny." It is easy to dismiss Dick
Dudgeon with a "typically Shavian"
and let it go at that. But the devil's
disciple is more than that. He has the
swagger of a Cyrano, the intelligence CAR
of a Washington and the tongue of a CAw
Shaw.
In the performance which Richard
Forsyth gave the intelligence was
made paramount and the swagger
somewhat restrained because of the
dimensions of the stage. He not only
gave a convincing portrait of the lead-
ing part, but added a deal of well
thought out interpretation. It is rare
when an amdteur gives a real inter-
pretation; it is rarer when he adds a
sound bit of character study of his
own. In the third act Dick does not
merely bluster, he is not a completely'
developed character, as in many pro-
ductions, he is faced with death and
enjoys it no more than you would.
Possible because of this, Winnett
Wright, the director, who directorwise
chose the part of Burgoyne failed to
run away with the last act, as is the
usual custom. Although he played it
with intelligence, it was our impres-
sion that he was not truly familiar
with the lines which Mr. Shaw gave
him, and although we do not claim to
know the play by heart, we believe
they lost much of their punch through
improvisation.
The rest of the cast were adquate,
if uneven. Judith was given a color-
less performance by Helen Granzow,
! and Anthony Anderson in the hands
! of Henderson Shields typical minister
and a coward, but never the man of
action which Shaw intended. The set-
tings were very nice indeed.
