BENITO AGAIN It has been almost a month since Mussolini has done anything dastardly in the Balkans; but now he has re- covered from his apathy and has enacted a treaty with Albania which threatens the peace of the whole Balkan peninsula. Albania and Italy have signed a pact which gives them control of the1 Adriatic, it seems, with an ominous rumor about a military clause. There are other nations on the Adriatic which are riot only threatened but imperiled by the pact, notably Jugo- slavia. But Jugoslavia has an army of 200,000, as all nations bordering on Mussolini must have large armies; and therein lies a fine plot for a war. Mussolini will defy the League of NationA; justice makes no appeal, to him. Reason is beyond the limits of his not too capacious mind. The de- mented dictator may have ideals for Italy, but the rest of the world will have to be abolished before his plan can succeed. Respect for others should be a part of the policy of every government-Mussolini lacks this re- spect. MERELY OVERLOOKED Amid a hurricane of applause and the °playing of "The Internationale" J. A. Cook, secretary of the British Miners' federation, went forward and delivered a "flaming" speech, bitterly blaming English labor leaders for the collapse of the recent strike, at the recent meeting of the Soviet Trades Union congress in Moscow. Facts are that the failure of the British Miners' strike was largely do to the incompetence of "Emperor" Cook and his acknowledged connec- tions with the Soviet. That Mr. Cook was the Soviet's tool, has been pointed out before. Yet it is not to be won- dered that a man of the doubtful qualities of leadership possessed by Mr. Cook would overlook his own shortcomings. There are thousands of capable and high principled newspaper editors in the country. There are also men who publish the tabloids. The best way to give an extempo- raneous speech is to have it well pre- pared. Where are those who predicted the mildest 'winter since 1879? kom STUFF As for the comedy element in "Front Page Stuff" there is plenty of it, and a lot that is excellent. The Swedish countess is rotten as a dancer, worse{ as a singer, and absolutely terrible asi a countess-and that is why she is soI good. If all royalty were like she,1 ticket scalpers would get any amount of money for a seat at Hill auditori- ums convocations for visiting queens. There is also a baron, with a trick mustache and a trick or two in act-' ing. He is one of three reasons why the trio that sang "Where Is Your Danger Line" was off tune. * * * And the nine Muses are there with Isadore, painter, poet, and nut. Adaptability is the main attribute of his paintings; one subject is too lim- ited a field for Isadore. His canvasses can pass for whatever you want to call them. * . S LEAGUE WILL SELL{ "CLIPPY DOGS" By special contract with "Clippy," the University's best known character and a B. D. 0. C. (Big Dog On 'the Campus) the Women's league will sell minature stuffed likenesses of her.I These dolls will take the place of the present atrocities that the League now tries to sell and should constitute a pleasing new toy for the co-eds and children. The new dolls will be called "Clippy Dogs" and will be shy and undemonstrative. Officials of the League have decided toannounce this only in Rolls.-(adv.) Kernel. * * * * George Alhn Jr. Melvin H.

Clippy needs a chain, but ROLLS will take care of that, if the contributors to the Sta- dium Bond Fund agree. y B"ke Browstark Reserves arriving from Arboria completely routed the . handful of Browstark citizens gathered to cele- brate the rescue of their Princess from the hands of the Arboria kid- napers. And in the melee that fol- lowed, Paul lost sight of the carriage of Princess Collegia Spirita. She just disappeared from the pub- lic gaze like ineligible chairmen of i Prom committees. But her disappear- ance was important, and so Paul started to hunt for her. Although clubbed several times, he managed to escape and on the outskirts of the crowd he was just in time to see Princess Collie being carried away by a squad of Arboria soldiers. Being the hero of this tale, he chas- ed after them and bravely attempted to rescue her. But he met his defeat and was removed from the story just as Clippy would kill a mole. (Concluded In Our Next) SUBSCRIBED TO 'ENSIAN Some alumus wrote in to the 'En- sian to subscribe. That's enough of a joke, but he went on to complain about the quality of the playing cards he bought from the Women's league a few months ago. They curled up at the edges and the color faded, he said. He wasn't kicking, he went on to explain, but he did think some company had put something over on the dear co-eds. * * * Sure they did. Any dollar playing cards ought to stand up straight after a mere ten months of -poker. Unless they turned up their noses at his ability as a card player. * * * WE'RE OUT OF BIG TEN In a story in the Detroit Free Press Sunday, talking about stadia in the. Big Ten, a subhead says, "Choice Seats to Students."j * * $ The reporter should go to college and get educated. STADIUM TO BE WATERWORKS MUSIC AND DRAMA TONIGHT: The T)imes of the Michigan Union present "Front Page Stuff" In the Whitney theater at 8:15 o'clock. "FRONT PAGE STUFF" A Review by Kenneth Patrick "Front Page Stuff,"-but on page four. Have at them.....Those inter- ested will know by the end of the fourth performance the various me- canics of plot and background, and would rather be complimented by the omission of the same. Therefore, the program notes will prevail. It has' been said that the comedy is either inane 'or entirely lacking, but such was not the case last night. Clock- work did not exactly hold sway, but spontaneity filled the gaps to the sat- isfaction of everyone, and there were at least eight occasions when mirth gave way to heartier expression. The bare spots were only conspicuous by their scarcity. The opening lines were lost through noise, but that is an ailment not peculiar to the opera. One of the most-noticed spots in the show was the innovation of the plot delineators, by which Mr. Shuter cast a few cabbages into the waiting arms of the audience. Brilliant and lingering were the profuse "pictures" which were un- reeled, and these alone should guar- antee more than the usual amount of success. The songs were more tune- ful and satisfying than any which "Tambourine" produced, and the sing- ing of them should not be passed over, although there was no voice of outstanding power, such as that of Barre Hill. Themost-heralded number, "Lady Of The Snows" was the only one in which faulty mechanics were easily observed, and one could not but hope that it might appear to better ad- vantage on the tour where better fa- cilities are to be obtained. Regard- less, it is beautiful and will elicit gasps at any time. A little extra effort on it will bring the cast great re- turns. Then there is Gohring and Dougall, Lyons and Norton, all of whom hit their top form last night. Of the hitherto unsung let it be added that Frank Strachan, Richard Woellhat, and Bob Graham work steadily and even brilliantly toward making the show a finished product. The latter's voice is surprisingly melodious. The last word must go to Lewis. His interpretation is wonderful and can be seen, and since those out in front see only the finished product they are not aware of his part in the preparation and inspiation-not to f be discounted. Let it be called specialized vaude- ville and assailed for its plot-it will go over nevertheless-a~nd there will be noise. * * * MASQUES Turning from the entirely modern satire of marriage "Why Marry?" which was given in an all-campus production last spring, Masques has turned to a medieval play. Maurice Maeterlinck's "Sister Beatrice," which will be given next Tuesday and Wed- nesday nights in the Mimes theater, is a lyrical drama of colorful romance and religious mystery. The play has been in rehearsal for the past few weeks and under thecapable direction of Phyllis Loughton, a finished pro- duction is promised. * * * "THE FORTUNE HUNTER" A Review by Paul Kern A man who can interpret one char- acter skillfully is a great actor; a man who can interpret thirteen at will, and still do it skillfully is the world's greatest dramatic recitalist; that is Edwin M. Whitney. One does not have to hear all of the others to know this; for Mr. Whitney's is the 1 type of superiority that needs no com- parison; the type that stands out even above comparison. Other men may have better press agents, and other good interpreters have appeared in Hil auditorium; but there is an impression of immense superiority in Edwin M. Whitney's performance from the time he reaches the platform until he leaves it. No imagination is needed to picture the characters as Mr. Whitney presents them; the imagination would be re- quired if one were still to think the character to be the actor himself. In every field someone is supreme, but in many cases clear-cut superiority is not as recognizable as in the field of dramatic interpretation. The play he gave, "Fortune Hunt- ers," by Winchell Smith, was well chosen and a typically WinchellSmith play. It gave the speaker a wide range for his remarkable voice, all the way from a piercing feminine squeek to a deep bass growl. The wide range of voicenwas supplemented by a variation of tone that could be alternately soft and harsh, angry or kindly, at succes- sive moments. His remarkable tonal effect, with the facial expression andI gestures should prove even to the skeptical that acting is not a matter of makeup or properties.
