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. -D. F.

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. i i UI_ L I I I WEDNESDAYNOVEMBER 9, 1927 Night Editor-MILTON KIRSHBAUM 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 -. e. -. ,e r 1, d l- t r ;t ;t h o e' wards improving education in that state, such as Professor Davis will probably have done before the end of; next year. 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.
