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 a reply by Secretary of the Navy Wil- bur.

She did not seem to hit quite the same height with her songs: "Voron" by Dubleva and "Oh, Cease Thy Singing" by Rachmaninoff. She sang her encores in a somewhat ro-I bust manner, "La Palomna" especially. 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. -E. M. M. "THEII; SIXANT IN THE HOUSE" Mr. McIntyre is presenting "The Servant in the House" by Charles Rann Kennedy in the Whitney thlater tonight for a single performance. t _.f Il~ Halw'e \yf 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. ANN ARB'OR SA4VINGS ,BAN4K I t 101 N. Main St. 707 N. University Ave. I1 FI- l
