Decentralization has been the reason for the failure of; countless student organizations. This1 trouble seems to have been avoided by the establishment of a central office. Whether or not the Federation will grow to be the power it is in many European countries will be de- termined by the work of present offi- cials. The machinery, lacking at the Ann Arbor conference, has been established. The work of the organiza- tion can and should go on at increased pace. CASTLES ON EARTH Quite unlike the ancient and now extinct bravados whose pomp and dar- ing overcame the barriers of Mexican castles, and outposts, the winning smile and modest manner of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh has won for him the affection of not only Mexico but almost all of Central America. What 1 one equally daring in another day might have done with his sword, Lindbergh has dne with his heart and courage. Far more eventful than the wildest tale of fiction is the story of the young American who has conquered, body and soul, the inhabitants of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, a n d San Salvador. Nothing could be more stirring than the thought of thousands upon thousands of people anxious to yield themselves up to Lindbergh magic; people representing countries whose attitude, .if not hostile toward this country, was at least at one time vague. America should not flatter itself by trying to term Charlie Lindbergh, "a1 typical American." He lacks in good measure, characteristic American con- ceit; but he possesses, nevertheless, open-mindedness; frankness, sincerity and cold determination that is not to be disregarded. And where other ambassadors have dreamt of rosy castles in the air where peace and good will might hold sway, this good will Ambassador from America has visited the castles on earth and done more toward bringing about such a spirit than any other one individual in American history. It is to be hoped that while Colonel Lindbergh wings his way through Central America and into the hearts{ of the populace, his safety will not be forgotten. America needs Lindy-and more like him.

A second company of "Good News" is about the most wel- come entertainment in its line to be seen in the city this season. It has a ggood cast with Dorothy McNulty, late of "The Great Temptations," Max Hoffman, Jr., much improved since his "Gay Faree" days, Dorothy Bur- gess, Katherine Morris, Jack Haley and some others. They have a fast show two wonderful songs-"Good News" and "The Varsity Drag"- which Peggy Bernier puts over in the merry-merry manner, and excellent comedy. In fact it turned out to be a theatrical marvel-it lived up to its reputation. It is almost axiomatic in the show business that a road com- pany is pretty certain to turn out to be a disappointment in certain re- spects. But "Good News" is selling row Z at the - Cass for every per- formance. The other musical show is "Just Fancy" at the Shubert Detroit. It af- fords pleasant entertainment, has no niasic to speak of, some comedy by Raymond Hitchcock and Eric Blore, and Joseph Santley and Ivy Sawyer. Its book is an adaptation of the Thomas play "Just Suppose" and con- tains some of the wistful and pallid charm of a Barrie piece. The plays in town-"Chicago" and "The Spider"-are too well known to merit much comment. The first is a satire of the American criminal courts, and is well written by Mau- rine Watkins and well played by Francine Larrimore. The second is a trick mystery play which was very successful in New York last season, but which I found rather dull. Prin- cipally because mystery plays are one of my minor enthusiasms. * *. * HARI3Y I)ELMA'S "REVELS" At the Shubert theater, New York. A review, by Morris Zwerdling. Graduated from the hoofer class, Harry Delmar has taken his place with George White, George M. Cohan and the others who have realized am- bitions as producers. His first revue, the "Revels," is sure-fire entertain- ment for those who like their humor not too subtle and close to burlesque. Although the book has little about which one may enthuse, it is inter- preted by a cast which compares well with any musical show on Broadway today. Heading the list is Winnie Lightner, that stout comedienne who delights in shouting out risque song lyrics, and Frank Fay, a straight comic possessed of one of the best "blues" voices I have ever heard. Bert Lahr establishes himself in the "Revels" as one of the funniest char- acter comedians in the game. His trick makeup and eccentric speech, not un- like Joe Penner of Greenwich Villagei Follies fame, was responsible for making dull lines seem convulsively funny. No show is complete now-a-days, it seems, without a special dancing 5 pound lots or more, Pound 38c I 5 All day long he sped about the city. Early in the afternoon he was ob- served on Main street, presumably after an inspection of the road to Jackson and the Pulymouth road to Detroit. Shortly after 4 o'clock he narrowly missed a "Withrow" as lie zoomed around the corner of Hill and East University in his anxious search for some violator. * * * Meanwhile hundreds of students shivered in cold rooms. Although their school work had been completed early in the afternoon or even in the forenoon they were waiting until the zero hour of 6 o'clock, when all re- strictions would be removed and they could begin their homeward migra- tions. Radiators began to freeze. It grew colder as evening began to fall. Grimibling -was heard at the watch party, organized at the 111011. But still the faithful remained. Stirred by the President's Christmas greeting, they were intent upon observing the spirit of the regulations. * * * MiCE AI,''LAE AS SAVIORS We heard of a mighty good adress during vacation. It seems that a real prominent University man was lectur- ing down in Tennessee or South Carolina or some place about like that. This man is a biologist, and very much interested in mice. So he told those poor people down there that the mouse might some day be the salvation of the human race. It was such a good idea that we are commemorating it with a little verse. Blessing on thee, little mouse, Terror of the boarding house; Your life now is no disgrace; You can save the human race.
