Those deemed unfit for cohtinuhig
their university careers will he grant-
ed certificates and asked to leave, thus
eliminating front the university the
countless misfits who clutter up class-
es and hinder the progress of whole
sections of more capable fellows. It
is obvious that all young men and
women are not equipped mentally to
pursue a professional course, and
these the University will eliminate as
gently as possible before they have
wasted their time.
The whole thing represents a tre-
mendous stride in the field of educa-
tion. It is different from the plan of'
Meiklejohn at Wisconsin, different
from the junior college plan; differ-
ent, in fact, from' everything that has
thus far been tried. Michigan seems
on the threshhold of a great and in-
spiring pioneer enterprise in the field
of education; and Michigan owes at
least her unanimous good will to the
60 faculty men headed by President
Little who will work through the
winter in perfecting her new plan.',;
DRAMA FOR ALL
Otto Kahn, the New York mil-
lionaire, banker and generous patron
of the arts, who made of the Metro-
politan Oprea house a gathering place
for all lovers of music and opera, has
turned his attention to the drama. The
saine motive which actuated him when
he 5 made his venture in opera has
moved him to lend his assistance to.
the drama-the desire that the com-
mn people as well as the rich shall
have a place where they may enjoy
the best that is being done on the'
stage..
Since the earliest days of art the'
drama has been the. most popular art
form. With living and moving char-
acters utilizing the human voice, and
simulating the scenes that surround
us in life, the drama has appealed to
all races and:-all peoples. It has drawn
all people alike, rich and poor, within
the charmed circule of its appeal and
it has given them an increased under-
standing of life and of art. No other
art form is so universal and so sooth-
ing to ,the human desire for beauty
and for enlightenment.
It marks a distinct advance in the
field of art when private individuals
delve into their pockets for the where-'
withal to support art and to take it to.
the people. Now that Mr. Kahn has
started the movement it would be
gratifying to see some others follow
suit and do likewise in their own lo-
calities. It would inject new life into
the Anerican theater and would make
it a powerful instrument in the educa-{
tion and culturization of the American
public.'
close upon the heels of the first art-
icle came a misquotation in an inter-
view; and following that has come T H E A T E R

did she give a mighty bounce.
Mr. Lazzari's chief solo "Largo
dalla Factotum della Citta" from Ros-
sini's "Barber of Seville" was sung
in a manner that gave proof of his
high abilities. Lazzari's voice is
powerful and resonant, and he is
capable of modulations that give it
almost infinite shades. One of his en-
cores, an Italian folk song, was sung
in a lovely fashion and made us wish
that he could have sung more of
them.
The best number on the program
was the duet "La Ci Darem La Mano"
from Ponchielli's "Don Giovanni" was
the last one. It was a lovely melodic
thing, full of grace and wit, which'
the singers did not fail to impart in
their accomplished manner.
"ON APPROVAL"
Tonight's performance of "On
Approval" will conclude a run of
eight performances, all well sold, and
well received by the respective audi-
ences. "On Approval" has not proved
to be one of the most outstanding bills
of Mimes' various and sundry activi-
ties, but it was without question very
well done. At times there was some
difficulty in George, Twelfth Duke of
Bristol's remembering his lines, and
at times the. action - was a little slow.
But Maria's shrewish nature was
cleanly outlined by Jane Emory in a
well defined portrait; Charles Living-
stone's stage presence and technique
made Richard an interesting study of
a rather typical Englishman; and
Lorinda McAndrews did exceptionally
well with Helen. In fact all three of
the new-comers, Miss Emory, Mr.'
White and Miss McAndrews will all be
seen in forthcoming productions.

Halw'e

Although Hallowe'en "is commonly devoted to merry-
making in the United States as well as other countries, it
is interesting to note some of the old beliefs and customs of
other lands.
The vigil of All Hallows or festival of All Saints being
November 1 st, Hallowe'en is the evening of October 31Ist.
It is associated in the popular imagination with the prevalence
of supernatural influences ardis clearly a relic of pagan times.
In England it was formerly known as "Nutcraek Night"
it being customary to crack nuts, duck for apples in a tub of
water and perforni other harmless fireside revelries. All of
the things were survivals of the festival of "Romona" on
November -st. Still older than these customs were the Hol-
lowe'en Fires, survivals of Druidical ceremonies.
In Roman Catholic countries it was their Decoration
Day when they visited the cemeteries to lay flowers on the
graves of relatives and friends;
In Scotland the ceremonies of the eve were formerly re-
garded in a highly superstitiot flight. The principal event
of the evening was that of consulting the future to discover
who should be the partner in'life.
