The leads in the show are not limited to one or two members of the cast as in the past, but are more generally distributed, due to the changed character of the vehicle as compared to that of former years. "The Same To You" will constitute the 22nd annual production of the Mimes of the Michigan Union. Several members of the cast of last year's Opera, "Front Page Stuff," will again be seen in the new show, among them William M. Lewis Jr, '29, "lead- ing lady" of the last opus, Thomas J. Dougall, '-8, Vincent C. Wall, Jr., '28, William S. Ramsey, -Jr., '28, Theodore Skinner, '28, and W. Davis Harbaugh, '28. Others have been taken from dif- ferent campus activities, or have never been in any previous production. Samson, Gilbert In Play Paul Samson, 28M, captain of the varsity swimming team last year, and Louis Gilbert, '28, a member. of the present varsity football team will both have leading roles. Lewis, Harbaugh, C. Lyman Crane, '29, and George Ran- dall, '29, will be seen in the four prin- cipal romantic leads around which the plot revolves. The first two appear as the daughters of a wealthy bond brok- er, Graham Rand, played by Samson. Richard C. Kurvink, '29, will take the part of Mrs. Rand, and Robert Gra- ham, S. of M, that of a son. All action in the second act of "The Same To You" will take place on the premises of a night club, the "In'digo Isle," whose proprietor, Gus Collins, is played by Skinner, Ramsey, Dougall, and Wall'made up as a trio of blues singer, "hoofer", and chorus girl, whose untoward actions complicate the plot. Gilbert will perform as Wig- gles, the butler, and Robert Wetzel, '28, has the part of a "philosophical detective," Dr. Rudolph Bingsetter.{ "The Same To You" has for the locale of its first act the garden of the Rand home on Long Island,during the progress of a charity bazaar. The secondact is in three scenes; the first the backstage area of the Indigo Isle during a rehearsal, the second the stage entrance of the club, and the third the dance floor itself. Plot of Stolen Bonds The book and all lyrics for the pro- duction were written this year by Wall and Dougall, who will appear in the cast, while the entire score was composed by Lewis, who wrote most of the music for "Front :Page Stuff". The plot centers around anumber of stolen bonds belonging to Rand, which disappear during the garden paty. Tphe theft falls on the consort of one of Rand's daughters, through conpli- eating circumstances, bt is atlength traced to its proper source in an un- derworld organization which has for its headquarters the prominent night club, Indigo Isle. The introduction of the night club into the scenes of the Opera offers an opportunity to Mimes to display many of the factors for which the Union product is famous, namely costumes, scenery and dance numbers. Lester of Chicago, who has planned and de- signed the costumes for most of the past Operas, has again selected the wardrobes for "The Same To You". Many of the creations for the "femin- Lodge. TWO JURORS REVEAL Jurors Tell Grand Jury They Were- Asked Probable Outcome While Trial Was in Progress AGENTS A RE OUN TRAIL (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-Jurors in- the Fall-Sinclair criminal conspiracy trial were approached with improper questions within the very shadow of) the court house, two of them disclosed today as they became grand jury wit- nesses in the latest of the oil scandals. Their startling statements led fed- eral agents on the trail of the ques- tioners, thus far men of mystery in a case which has furnished far more than a 'normal share of mysteries and sensations.*- John J. Costinette, an elderly tailor, and Gardener P. Grenfeld, a young cable splicer, are the jurors who de- dared they have been questioned be- fore a mistrial was ordered, both as to the probable outcome of the trial and asked whether the trial judge, Justice Frederick L. Siddois, was "on the square." From the descriptions' they gave to District Attorney Gordon each was approached by a different man. Whether rtheir interrogators were Burns detectives, whose activi- ties abruptly ended the oil trial, is the immediate point the district attorneys office is seeking to clear up. Grenfeld said he was approached by a stranger in a cigar store directly across the street from the District of Columbia court house. While Grenfeld and Constinettei were before the grand jury at separ- ate times during the later afternoon, C. G. Ruddy, director of the crew shadowing the jury, and six of the Burns operatives were called in and lined up for possible identification by the jurors. Apparently none was identified as either of the mystery men. In the report of the Burns detectives seized by the government in the raid upon their headquarters there is. one r in which Baltimore investigator H-4 reported on October 20 and ,21 that Costinette apparently was being shad- owed by other men.r Besides questioning Costinette and Grenfeld, the grand jury heard Nor- man J.

Cook, secretary a the British Fed- arafnn f Miarc cala f i 'X~-,xn ;r Supporters of Lodge, who had re- fused to make a campaign, in line with his views that an office-seeker should not "urge"' himself on the electorate, were confident later re- turns would switch the lead around to their candidate. Thby maintained that most of the Lodge strongholiis were yet to be heard from. Smith Supporters Jubilant Smith supporters were jubilant over his early 'showing and pointed to heavy majorities piled up in districts where he was expected to show least strength. They predicted final figures would show a big plurality for Smith. Smith based his appeal for reelec- tion on a program of liberality in en- forcement of the prohibition law. His flat "wet" pronouncement was made after he had trailed Lodge in the primary contest by approximately 30,000 votes. Declaring his primary showing re- sulted from covert activities of the Anti-saloon league and other dry or- ganizations, Smith asserted his will- ingness to stand or fall on a policy of opposition to the liquor laws. Lodge, who has held pu-blic oflice over a 25-year period, declined to enter into a campaign fight, a stand he has maintained throughout his political career. He was drafted in the present contest and did not make a campaign speech nor issue a writ- ten appeal. His supporters were re- luctant to acceptthe liquor question as an issue and pointed out that Lodge had never publicly endorsed the dry movement. Record Ballot Cast. Indications late tonight were that a record ballot of more than 300,000 had been cast despite inclement wea- ther. The election passed off quietly, only a few arrests for minor disord- ers being made. Heavy police guards were posted aboutvoting booths, but there was little call for their presence.- Election Commissioner Richard Reading announced that names of several voters suspected of fraudulent registration had been taken. So few returns regarding the var- ous amendments voted on today had been tabulated late tonight that an in- dication of the tdecisions was unavail- able. One amendment provided for construction of a tunnel under the Detroit river betweennDetroit and Windsor and another for construction c.' a $2,000,000 municipal -airport.
