The cast is adequate, but not exceptional. lielen Mencken gives a rather tricky and not parti- cularly syi)npathetic performance in the title role. Arthur Wontner as D'Aiguines is to be congratulated on his effective delivery of one of the{ longest and dullest speeches that a Broadway actor has been called upon to deliver this season. The rest of the company do what they can to make the artificial dialog sound natural, but with indifferent success. The popularity of this pseudo-prob- lem play is very probably due to the fact that the forty-second street cos- mopolites and visiting thrill-chasers can go to the play in a glow of broad- mindedness and witness a confection as innocuous and devoid of idea as a Willard Mack melodrama under the impression that they ar viewing a searching analysis of a pathological case.

TilE MATINEE M1USICALE On Wednesday afternoon at .>:,0 o'clock in the Asembly hall of the Union, the third program of the Mati- nee Musicale series will be given. The artis;ts for the occasion are Helen Wright Wilmington, pianist; and the University String Quartet, composed of Samuel Lockwood, first violin, An- gelina Lockwood, second violin, Pau- line Kaiser, viola, and Janette Fraser Wieder, Violon-cello. Mrs. Wilmington, who is a memberI of the piano faculty of the Toledo Con- servatory-of Music, has been engageda in concert work for the past few years.

Unfortunately the Mich- igan campus is no exception. One of the outstanding examples of this type of organization is the Stu- dent Christian association, appealing as it does to scarcely more than a score of students from the standpoint of active interest. The S. C."A. does serve several good purposes. Among these, it provides a social club for f >reign students on the campus, and supervises a worthy fresh air camp each summer for poor children. In view of this a concen- trated effort is made each winter to reach every student in the University during -the well known "S. C. A. drive" for some manner of contribu- tion. In short, this association which is operated by a half dozen students, and whose commodious building is frequented by possibly 200 more for- eign students, imposes itself upon the entire student body each year to the extent of $6,000. (The fresh air camp is supported by an independent drive each spring.) To be sure, the presidency of the S. C. A. is a pleasant office to hold, and generally offers a trip to Europe' in the bargain.

The smooth floor, not overly crowded, the gliding of the dancers, the' hum of conversation give that feeling of real enjoyment to every minute. And then there is the music.

And the leaders of industry, if they have the vision and the faith attributed to them will be quick to seize this opportunity and{ make of it what they can, which seems to be- much. AGAIN After rejecting two alternat!?ve plans, the House committee on agri- culture has approved the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill which, with the exception of several minor chang- es, is identical to the measure de- feated last May in the first session of the Congress now assembled. The bill provides, in effect, that a price of farm products, higher than that in the world market, be fixed for ed by the student body. The office is; sales in the United States, and that a fdlcos"oiia lml fin coil in d01 1 l11ioJ a delicious "political plum." The chief difficulty with the organi-, zation lies in the fact that it is grossly over-capitalized. It is estimated that the upkeep of the building, the operat- ing expenses, the fresh air camp, and the {cost of the so-called student activ- ities amounts to $32,000 per year! To meet such an expenditure, alumni are solicited for some $21,000; students for $12,000, comprising the annual drive and the fresh air camp solicita- tions; and local churches about $1,000. The abolition of the S. G. A. is by no means advocated. It has a small purpose. But it should not exist solely as a parasite on the campus. Itj does not begin to reach the studentl body; therefore, why should students: support it? The annual drive, which is less of a financial success eac-hl year, should be abolished if the as- sociation has to vacate its handsome 1 building, and move into somewhat less farmers iorcea to seat in the foreig~n trade be given a proportionate com- pensation. With this main provision unchanged, it still provides for a di- rect subsidy as well as for the rather economically unsound practice of price-fixing. Though the publicity given the mat-I ter may have weakened the opposi- tion, and the inclusion of cotton as a favored product have added strength front the South, it is probable that much difficulty will be experienced in enacting the measure when itj comes up for consideration early in February.
