THIE TOURING CAR GOES
The New York Automobile show,
which is admittedly the most exten-
sive and complete of all the automo-
bile shows, made plain the fact that
the days of the old fashioned touring
cars are numbered. There were none of
the touring cars of a few years ago,
with few exceptions, all the open cars
exhibited were either roadsters or
sport models. The older type car in
which the economical motorist could
stow his family, a trunk, two suit-
cases, and a dog or two, has gone its
way.
The newer type cars run to smaller
bodies and narrower seats. The move
is seen by some to make it necessaryj
to own more than one car to accom-
modate the entire family. If this is
true, it is somewhat of a dangerous
move. However, the dealers seem to
feel that it is better to have two small
cars instead of one large one, in spite
of the fact that they have to extend
unusual credit arrangements to pro-
spective buyers and many times suf-
fer heavy losses.
Even so, the public is more inter-
ested in automobiles than ever, and
several manufacturing companies
have set new records in sales and
production during the month of Jan-
uary . The saturation point has not
yet been reached and doubtless never
will be. But the day of the touring
car in which one could keep his
knees from striking his chin at every
bump has gone. The price of progress!

MIPP TAKES UP CAMPUS DRA-
MATCS. SAYS MORE AND
CHEAPER PERFORMANCES
ARE NEEDED
LAUDS PLAYS
..E. Hamilton )Llpp, Michigan crew
coach and political light, investigat-
ing campus dramatics, has brought to
light many novel and pertinent fact
in this field of student endeavor. Mipp
has interviewed most of the faculty
directors as well as the leaders
among the students, and when inter-
viewed at a late hour last night (he
is always interviewed at late hours
of the night, according with the
{ journalistic principles) was fairly
bubbling over with pertinent com-
ment.
."The thing that should be done," he
said, "is to have 'more and better
cheap performance which interest the
student body. Years ago, I am told, it
was the tradition to have but one
campus production for each organi-
zation per year, and anything which
even slightly interferred with this was
considered simply terrible. Now each
organization does as many plays as it
wants with student direction which
is better than the former faculty
coaching in many cases. The old
system is still considered right by a
few but it is passing rapidly, espe-
cially with the opening of the Mimes
theatre to campus performances. The
idea for which dramatics at Michigan
should aim is louder, funnier and
cheaper (in the financial sense) per-
formances."
..This was "all" Mentor Mipp would
say, the hour being exceedingly late.
In fact he may even have been talk-
ing in his sleep. So many of us do.

ROXY
Eight tube sets and the maddening
distraction of the great god Static can
be quite forgotten by Detroit theatre-
goers, for a little time at least. Roxy
and his Gang of some fifty entertain-
ers are to appear in recital in Orches-
tra Hall this afternoon and tonight--
with an additional performance Mon-
day night.
Roxy is, in effect, an announcer-
the only living gentleman of his pro-
fession who has thus far made any
bid for distinction. True, there have
been bed-time story and plain-talker
men, but they have all had their re-
stricted followings. Roxy has per-
haps the largest continuous audiences
ever commanded by any one man thus
far in modern times. He has a sooth-
ing way of talking; his little speeches
are personal, companionable, with a
touch of sadness. To resist him is
impossible.
TIlE MXSI'C BOX lIE VUE
A review, by Clarice Tapson.
Irving Berlin, evidently taking a
tip from Florenz Ziegfeld, has an-
nounced that his fourth Music Box
Revue, which is now on tour, is his
last. If that is the case, he is not
finishing up with a bang, for this is
far from being his best edition of the
revue.
And that doesn't mean that it isn't
a good show; it is. But it hardly coin-
pares with the one of two years ago,
the "damn-clever-these-Chinese!" one

THE FAI)NG LINE3
The past few weeks have been wit-
ness to an unusual condition in that
dugust body, the home of lengthy and'
often meaningless debates on hereto-,
fore strictly partisan lines, the Sen-
ate. The creation of a compromise;
necessitated by the bitterest sort of
bi-partisanisi, this most powerful
second chamber in the world has,
sinl' its birth, been subject to almost
cOni inual strife. Here, where party
lines have been drawn most severely,
have been waged the fiercest word!
battles of Ame-rican history; here, for1
a long time, a small minority were
able to definitely hold back legislation
on several important matters; within
its walls the works of great men have1
been crumpled to dust, while other s
mien, far from great, have been sus-,
tained. Such has been the partisan I
nature of the body.
Recently, however, party lines have;
beea seet to dissolve and almost fade,
away. When the final vote was taken
on the World Court resolution, Demo-
crats, Republicans, and Progressives;
were found to be voting together. And,
later, party lines again seemed to
have lost their binding hold when the

HARVARD ANID STUDENT

disciplinary measures against senior
students in good standing for class
absences, Harvard College has addel

increasing favor in American. univer
sities. Specifically, the Harvard fac
ulty has just voted that, beginning

of fond memory, the one by the excel-
lence of which all subsequent ones
must of necessity be judged. This
year's falls down in glorious settings,
first of all, and, somewhat, in humor.
Of course there are some ridiculously
funny moments-there must be with
Clark and McCullough and Fanny
Brice-but the funniness is a little
too much off color.
When the faults are taken care of,
one may proceed to the virtues, which
are still fairly numerous. Fanny Brice
is-well, Fanny Brice. If you haven't
seen her, words couldn't put her over
to you; and if you have, you don't
need words. Her "Nature's Child"
number is a riot. If you know her,
just imagine her doing one of these I
back-to-nature solos in a pink chif-
fon do-dad with feet-well, with feet.
All that's wrong with her is that she
doesn't appear often enough.
Clark and McCullough, sad to re-
late, seemed not quite up to their
usual standard of excellence.
In Lottice Howell, however, the
company has a prima donna worth
noting. She sings beautifully, some-
thing rather un-thought-of in just a
revue. She and Oscar Shaw sing "In
the Shade of a Sheltering Tree" to
the unfolding of the loveliest scene in
the show, the climax of which finds
the chorus, in black gowns, with long
green fans, grouped to represent a
willow tree.
Ledova, the premiere danseuse, de-
serves a few words. Her technique is
really marvelous, and her perform-
ances in the wildcat number and in a
specialty with Rudolph Malioff are
lovely visions.
The skits are, on the whole, lack-
ing in originality. Will there never
be another "Lady in Red?" The only
one that lingers in the memory, be-
sides those featuring Fanny Brice, is
the Alice-in-Wonderland number.
This is a real delight. The Bros
Sisters, those three harmonizers
known by their Victrola records, as
well as by their stage appearances,
sing a little ditty entitled "Come!
Along with Alice." We are then tak-
en, somewhat after the manner of
"ThesAdding Machine" and "Emperor
Jones," into Wonderland, where the.

tenance of adequate scholarship,
which' in turn is appreciably depen-
dient upon presence in the classroom,
While this method of handling the
problems of class absences, which
trouble college faculties about as
much as endowment campaigns do
college presidents, is thus seen to be
basically safeguarded from possible
abuse, it may be regarded, neverthe-
less, as a prophetic development in
educational policies. Harvard has
been preceded in this matter by other
universities which apply the system
of unlimited cuts in varying degrees,
many institutions extending the re-
sponsibility to underclassmen in good
standing. Clearly one of the pressing
educational needs is the encourage-
ment of individual responsibility. Re-
sponsibility cannot well be encourag-
ed unless opportunity is given for its
expression.
Two New York detectives were pub-
licly cited, promoted with salary in-
ereses and shared a large award.
Hence there could not have been a
woman alive 20,000,000 years ago, and!
if there was no woman to wear the!
pearls, there were no pearls. Even
laymen of this generation are too
wise to be led astray by any scientific
hoaxes such as this.
