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.

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. ,* * * THE MAY FESTIVAL-IV. FOURTH CONCERT-Friday,l May 21, at eight o'clock.
