LOCAL TALENT BLOOMS AGAIN
Artists andamateurs of Ann Arbor
will come into their glory when the
ifth Annual Exhibiton of their work,
ponsored by the Art Asociation
pens with a private reception tonight
n Alumni Memorial hall. The exhibit
will be 'opened to the public tomor-
row.
A somewhat hasty preview yester-
day, disclosed that the association was
at least partially justified in its en-
thusiastic blurb, that "our local talent
compares most favorably with similar
exhibits in E.rope." Certainly no
type of creative art has. been neglect-
ed. The displays run the whole gamut
from paintings to ship-models, from
etchings to batik work.
What we consider the best painting
in the exhibit is a cool grey portrait
study, "The Model" by Douglas Hall.
Other distinctive pictures in the paint-
ing group are "Houses by Mary A.
Johnson,'a strong contrast in purple
shadow and bright sunlight; Harold
W. Young's dark green and brown
fantasy, "A Tree", and "Rusha", a
brilliant portrait in scarlet and blacks,
done by John Koch, probably the
most distinguished of the exhibitors.
The etching display is really wonder-
ful, particularly the prints by S. C.
Pock and Herbert P. Watts. Among
the designs, a water color entitled
"Home of the Sun" by Mr. Young
seemed to claim first rank.
The sum total of the exhibit is truly
enormous for a town with the popu-
lation of Ann Arbor, comprising. 258
numbeis, by 78 exhibitors.

"'AND SO TO BED:" by J. B. Fagan:
Henry Holt and Company, New York.
$2.
A review, by R. Leslie Askren
Pepys, the hero of this delightful
comedy of character, has been trailed
through to the end of his delightful
diary-and then the next afternoon
Fagan caught him in one of his amor-
ous moods. The result is a charming,
three-act comedy of clever character
and dialogue.
Pepys was a wonderful combination
of fine statesman, great lover, and
still greater liar, which after all is
not such a strange combination, for
a man who can dally as successfully
with as many women as Pepys did
must necessarily be a great satesman
and politician, to say -nothing of his
having to be a greater liar. But Pepys
was modest in his way. His heart
was in his Navy, his soul in his music,.
and his eyes were forever on women,
which left him little time to think how
accomplished a man he really was.
As for being a wonderful liar-he en-
joyed that, only secretly.
As a play "And So To Bed" ran for
ten months in London. Wednesday
night of this week will see its pre-
miere in this country at the Shubert.
Wallace Eddinger will play the lead
as Mr. Pepys. The part of Charles II
in the London production was played
by Allan Jeayes but since he has been
drafted by Katherine Cornell for the
part of Howard Joyce in "The Letter,"
Charles Bryant will assume the role
in this country. Yvonne Arnaud, a
beautiful English importation, and
Mary Grey will handle the parts of
Mrs. Pepys and Mrs. Knight.

REI17LECTORS OF LIFE
Dr. Paul'Shorey, head of the Greek
department at the University of Chi
cago, and a famous classicist, takes
I rather pessimistic view of the litera
ture that is being propagated in' th
world today. Speaking at the semi
centennial convocation of the Univer
sity of Colorado, .Dr. Shorey said, "Th
most widely advertised literature o
today is accustoming a whole genera
tion to brood persistently on whatever
things are cynical, unjust, squallid
hideous, and of ill-report."
Somehow the youth of today, an
even those of the elders who can re
member their youth and see the anal
ogy between their times and this time
cannot get wrought up over the situa
tion as Dr. Shorey can. The art tha
is being produced, the seemingly fren
zied productions which go into print
and on canvas, and are shown on th
stage, do, after. all, in some manner
represent our civilization and reflec
somehow the things that we are doing
and thinking. If they did not at leas
present some semblance of the truth
they would have no opportunity t
live, for art must in some measure be
true to life and the life that it repre

TEN YEARS
Monday marked the tenth anniver-
sary of the revolution in Russia. It is,
now a decade since the oppression of
centuries of czarism burst its bonds
and blazed into the great Red Revolu-
tion, and with the passing of the years
it has been possible to gain a muchI
more just perspective of the great gov-i
ernmental experiment which the Rus-
sians are carrying out.
It has been a ten-year period
marked by bloodshed and violence to
be sure. It has been ten years of more
rigid government than the czar could
ever have conceived. It has been ten
years in which the other nations ofj
Europe have turned several diplo-
matic somersaults; and it has been
ten years which have marked tremen-
dous gain of democratic principles4
throughout the world.
During this period Russia has seen
famine, want, misery, starvation, re-
storation. She has been an outcast
among nations and has managed to
survive alone, She has met threats of
uprising with an iron hand, and the
toll of human lives has been immense.
The government during this period I
has changed from absurd communism
to a phase of liberal socialism. It hast
continuously steadied itself and gainedr
a firmer footing with both feet. It has
gained credit abroad and power at
home. It has ousted the bloody Trot-
sky and abandoned martial law. It:
has, in short, gone as far in ten years
as any new government on the face
of the globe has ever gone before it.
To be sure, the public morality mayI
be at a low ebb, and the public relig-
ion may be assailed; but mistakes are
inevitable; and when we take the:
broad view of ten years we can notf
too hastily condemn. Russia has
emerged out from under the voke rf
student directory we had;
cuse for our delay.

sents.
Every age, has had its chaos and its
fury of growth. No one should better
appreciate this fact than a classicist
like Dr. Shorey. Surely there are
ages in Roman and Greek history
when the literature was nothing to
boast about. Some of the master-
pieces that were commonly circulated
at that time, now exist in only rare
editions which the eyes of the public
never rest upon because the things
are supposed to be salacious.
It is high time that some of the pes-
simists of the age woke up from their
dream of a pure minded civilization
andbegan'Co apreciate that art, after
all, in some manner approximates life.
They would see then that what is ob-
jectionable in the art of today is the
very thing' that is objectionable in
our life., Cleanse our life and you,
cleanse our art.
