THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY INTERFRATE RNITY ELECTIONS Now that the Interfraternity counci has actually decided to function, a was demonstrated at its meeting thi week when a committee to investigat the present fraternity rushing syster was appointed, another matter migb well be given attention at this tim namely the system of electing th president of the organization. With no reflection upon the preseu -e m' a It e, ie Lt SELF-PRESERVATION Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw M.

Rolls should start a campaign against such subjects; they are too brief. A much superior subject would be "Resolved :that the retention of gentlemen, intelligent persons, or . relew of tCatGarism i Lec. ture, by Vincent Wal We have all beon fooling ourselves in a grand way. It is all fake andIl sham: our "theatrical[smn'" (a coited ternm of Mr. Munson's which lie do- fines as "an illegitimate child born{ of the theater and stage") has run away with us all. And the trouble is that our modern drama has lost a'I creative tendencies; it is a mere stag- ant repetition of plot, plot sequence and situation. Mr. Munson admits that "the art of the theater" (the terminology he swipes from Gordon Craig) is satifac- Cory as a part of our literature-that is the drama which we have definitely committed to the classics. But he I condemns the actual production; 'the Limits imposed by the scenery, light- ing, costuming, stage direction and the acting itself are too much .for the frail creations of our American dramatists. The solution is to confine the pro- duction of our theater to our real ex- periences-to make it the language of our true fe lings. Ie recommends the elimination c (: all attempt at a preconcived plot. This means that the cast would mouldf the action along whatever lines the moment might suggest. But of course this is all the most fatuous idealism-- one of the most ridiculous Utopias ever conceived. It would deny theI actor all the gestures and vanities that are the essence of the profession, and in a trade where jealousy is the only eternal consideration, the plan is man-I ifestly impossible. At present the only solution is the use of puppets, andf this, again, is Gordon Craig's idea. Otherwise ir. Munson tumbled few1 of our very sacred fetishe,. In fact he regards our present drama with apparent apathy. Eugene O'Neill is our only man of power and John i Howard Lawson's "Processional" with its carefully prepared vignettes of American life is the only significant creation, outside the Moscow Art Theater and other similar experiences. . . .* "THE SHELF" Beginning January 9 at the Garrick theater, Frances Starr will return to Detroit in Dorrance Davis' new com- edy "The Shelf" which is of intereslt for several reasons. The first is that .hiss Starr is re- turning to the stage after an absence of three seasons. Th- second is that for the first time in her career she is not under the David Bc- lasco management--William Fried- lander is the financial sponsor forj ' .a CTe Supreme Creation for bobbed haizrd Created by a celebrated Parisian Master. Sponsored by leading women of society. A real neces- sity for all dressy wear-simple, practical and extremely beautiful. Let us demonstrate it for you. The Sidewalks of New York AVE become for most of us that very short space be- tween going up and going down. We do not travel much on the surface these days. If our minds were a reflection of our trip through a modern city, we should be at once the most profound and the most ethereal race in the world. The escalator and elevator carry us from the subway to the sur- face, from the surface to the ele- vated subway. The baggage hoist lifts our trunks from level to level. We enter a building and mount to the fiftieth story. Indeed, we have almost abandoned the horizontal, and the force of gravity seems just a bi.t old fashioned. The Otis ElevatorCompany hasplaced at our disposal an entirely new direction. l! E zwnmnam ...1 AFTER THE SQUALL Though indicated previously, thej reasons leading the government to adopt its policy in the Nicaragua af-j fair have now been clearly and min- utely set forth by President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg of the State departument. Documentary evidence proving the shipment of arms from Mexico to the Sacasa liberal forces in Nicaragua and the existence of Bol- shevistic plots against the United States has been offered. Without doubt, the government's in- tervention in Nicaragua is justified Two recent events that mark the change of commercial aviation from the stage on an ethereal dream to the place where it is becoming a decided adjunct to business are the recent award of the year's service prize given by the International League of Aviators for 2,167 flying hours with- out accident and the arrival of the planes in the American "good willf flight" squadron at Costa Rica with- out accident. The two things, the development of pilots capable of long sustained flights without tempting providence and risking the cargoes and the planes, university professors who think of I propositions, debate subjects, resolu- tions, or other nonsense as occult,I hidden, befuddled, clouded, or ambig- tuous as the recent effort, attempt, orl pitiable gesture as the recently stated debate subject, on the teaching staffs, as debate coaches, or janitors in an educational institution, university, or insane asylum is contrary to the pub- Ile welfare and a menace to students, sensible people, and those who try out for debating teams."

This seems fanciful but nevertheless it is true. Newspapers and magazines continually deplore the in- creasingly over-crowded condition of these sidewalks, due to the ever-increasing licIglht of buildings. If it were not for the developments in the elevator industry mae by the Otis Elevator Company as a pioneer, it would not have been pos- sible to erect buildings of the stupendous heights which are now in vogue.
