'31 will have an opportunity to try its
mettle in the manifold fields of cam-
pus activity. Outstanding among these
enterprises which call for tryouts at
this time are the three campus publi-
cations-The Daily, the Gargoyle, and
the Michiganensian-offering experi-
ence in both editorial work and busi-
ness management.
The Gargoyle offers experience on
a monthly periodical. Tryouts will
be held on both the editorial and
business sides of this publication
where the work largely consists of
gaining a grasp of the style and na-
ture of the organization preparatory
to taking over more serious respon-
sibility next fall. The Michiganensian,
the second of the group, is one of the
very best of college annuals, offering
a far different type of experience
from either The Daily or the Gargoyle,
and requiring considerably less time
than The Daily. On the editorial side
the work consists of both artistic ex-
perience and organization work, much
as on the Gargoyle, with the exception
that the actual wrting of stories plays
a larger part in the humor magazine
than in the annual.
The Daily will naturally attract the
largest number, offering as it does the,
chance for students to receive prac-
tical newspaper experience under con-
ditions closely paralleling those of
the largest metropolitan dailies. A
member of the Associated Press and
a subscriber to a national feature
service, The Daily has stood out in
the past as a pioneer in the ranks of
college journalism.
All three of the publications offer
what is undoubtedly one of the most
valuable phases of experience in prac-

No doubt they feel that freshmen in

WHEN THEY MENTION "of all the!

IT SEEMS THAT MOST of the pro-
fessors in this institution are in
league with the bookstores. We don't
mind buying a few books now and1
then, but when we have to buy five
or six for a course and the professor
tells us that each student must have
his own copies of the books, we be-
gin to wonder just what the prof's
royalty is.
* * *
THEN THERE ARE THOSE other
profs. who assign a new book every
semester and thus eliminate the pos-
sibility of second hand texts. They
also are a menace to the poor strug-
gling student.
* * *
THERE IS ONE TYPE of professor
whom we excuse. He is the one who
assigns the book that he, himself, hasj
written. It is a well known fact that
men must eat, and also that this is
the only way professors' books can
be sold. Accordingly, we excuse sev-
eral members of the faculty.

"hELL BENT FOR hEAVEN" ,
A review, by Vincent Wall
A second folk play of the South-.
ern Mountains-this time the Hatch-
er Hughes Pulitzer Prize Play, "Hell
Bent Fer Heaven"- was presented
last -night by Play Production. And
the resulting performance, although
very uneven in spots seemed to
please the rather small audience.
"Hell Bent Fer Heaven" is an in-
teresting study of religious fanati-
cism-which according to our drama-
tists seems to be a psychological in-
teger of the hill-billys' complex. It
is done without the sentimentality
and confusions of thought which
mark Miss Vollmer's work of the
evening before, and on the whole is
a better specimen of the drama.
There are three acts of semi-melo-
drama and in all of them the interest
is well sustained.
The cast as a whole seemed to pos-
sess an intelligent conception of the
play, and even mastered to some de-
gree of supposed accuracy the diffi-
cult dialect. Several of them could
and did act. The only fault to find
is that in several crucial instances
the action was allowed to falteP and
drag, when it was particularly vital
to the success of the play.
Truesdale Mayers in the role of
Rufe Pryor carried the show, and pre-
sented as good a bit of acting as
Mimes theater has seen in some time.j
Two scenes of religious hysteria were
given weil and his complete effect
varied yet consistent. Walter Power
as Andy Lowry would have been goodI
if he had known his part better. And
Marjorie Chavenelle presented an ex-
cellent bit in the drab and pathetic;
figure of Meg munt.
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
There will be few who will mourn
the departure of "One of the Family"
-that awful debacle of American
home life-from the Whitney theater.
It was just another of those unfor-
tunate affairs that occur in the life
of the most astute managers.
On the other hand there will be
many to rejoice at the advent of
"Great Catherine" and "The Old Lady
Shows Her Medals" tomorrow night.
It is a rather daring thing to attempt
-this mixing of the irony of Shaw
and the gientle whimsies of Barrie.
But there is sufficient merit for either
to stand alone; and if the peculiarly
static dramas of Barrie do become a
bit tiresome, the bluff and witty
horseplay of Shaw will prove an ex-
cellent foil.

"FATHER AM) DADS"
A review, by J. Stewart Hooker
Gay MacLaren is more than a
dramatist, more than a mere play in-
terpreter: she is an artist. Possessing
a flexible charm that protuded far be-
yond the footlights, this "one woman
theatrical company" charmed her au-
dience in Hill auditorium last night
with the presentation of her own
play, "Father and Dad."
Adequately portraying the 10 char
acters - of her own creation with
obvious grace and understanding,
Miss M cLaren moved smoothly and
swiftly through her intensely human
play of modern youth. While, by her
own confession, the play lacks many
of the magnamious thrills which make
Broadway playgoers come back for
more, the artistry and sincerity of her
performance left little to be desired.
One wonders at the conclusion of
the xerformance if it was not the
homely philosophy of Aunt Elsie and
the caucous slang of 16-year-old
Stanley aiter all that captured the
fancy. At least, with a minimum
amount of effort, Miss MacLaren puts
herself in the background, after the
fashion o a true artist, and lets her
characters do the work.
Thoroughly modern, the play 1 as
to do both with the problens of pa-j
rents with live children to rear, as
well as with the tribulations of the
parents betwixt themselves. BothE
ideas are carried out with clear un-
standing and a gracious absence of
moralizing. It is so modern that even!
the set of pearls cost $25,000! But
one is willing to overlook the minorI
flaws in the play for its greater mer-
its. Incidentally, the distribution of
programs was an improvement.
