Hammer TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1928 Night Editor-K. G. PATRICK VANDENBERG Congratulations for Senator Arthur Hendrick Vandenberg, new United States senator from Michigan, on the ocsasion of his appointment to that position last Saturday might well be extended to Governor Fred Green who made the appointment and the people of the state whose representa- tive he will be in Washington. Not only is the Grand Rapids publisher particularly well fitted by experience for the important post, but he will doubtless be the choice of the people at the polls for the long term next November; and when he enters the Senate as the result of that election next March 4, he will bring to the state the advantage of outranking newly elected Senators who will be 'swor;1 in at the same time. Praises before a man has assumed an office are the idlest form of peror ation, but high hopes for accomplish- ment are not at all out of place. Be- sides the advantage of youth (Senator Vandenberg is 46 years old), the new legislator brings with him a fresh- ness of viewpoint that should be re- freshing in the counsels of the na- tional body. Carrying no previous al- liances or entrammelling promises, the new senator will be free to choose what connections he will in the ,Sen- ate, and to make only what commit- ments he desires. His responsibility is solely to him- self to make good in the position, and the people of the state will not prove ungrateful in a political way if he succeeds. Youth, fresh vigor, and the best wishes of his constitu- ents Senator Vandenberg carries to the office. Such a combination seems, on the surface, to point over'whelm- ingly to a long and successful ca- reer in public life. S UMER SESSION With the school year on the eve of spring vacation, and the gradua- tion in June a matter of but two month:, it is interesting to note that the schedule for the 1928 Summer session, prepared by Dean Edward Krlus, has been completed. Annually a period of high scholastic caliber, the summer schedule this year in- cludes its usual quota of exceptional tachers from all parts of the world, in addition to the regular facilities of University work afforded. To those serious students who de- sire to supplement their regular aca- demic work in a season when the tion of a complete automobile ban, which may prevent the indulgence of pleasant summer sports, such as swimming and picnicking, on the part of the summer students. Nevertheless, the chance to work under such scholars as Prof. H. A. Kramers of the physics deparitment at Rijks university of Utrecht, Prof. Walter Agard, classicist of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, Dean George Carruthers of Rollins college, and Prof. Robert Hegner, zoologist of Johns Hopkins university, to mention only a few, is a rare opportunity. The Summer session will doubtless be smaller in enrollment this year than in the past, largely due to the auto- mobile ban, but in academic eminence the program arranged by Dean Kraus ranks favorably with any of the past summer periods of the University. PROGRESS A short time ago the Union an- nounced the financialtstatement for. the six months ending in February. It showed an enormous gain in finan- cial operations over the figures for the same period of previous years and showed losses in only two depart- ments. At the present rate of improve- ment its indebtedness should be paid off in five years. Yesterday, the decision of the board o governoys was announced to close in the porches on the first and second floor. This is a decided improvement toward more room for the dances and more space for the various banquets and luncheons which are given at the Union. At this time it was also de- cided to pave the alley beside Mimes theater and action was also taken on this so that it will be completed soon. Clearly the Union is moving for- ward. Though advances are still to be made, its more efficient organiza- tion than that of the past i being felt in all branches. THE SOUTH POLE FLIGHT Commander Richard E. Byrd, con- queror of the North Pole and the At- lantic by air, is now busily engaged in preparations for the severest test of his career-the conquest of the Antarctic. Commander Byrd will leave this summer with a parity of 70, among whom will be included Prof. Lawrence M. Gould, of the geo- logy department, for the supreme ef- fort to reach the South Pole by air. The venture entails a hop by plane the distance from Chicago to New York and return, over a broad pla- teau, 10,000 feet high, covered with ice barriers, the mightiest glaciers on earth, treacherous mountains and towering cliffs. 'The Antarctic trip is made even more hazardous by the fact that many other hardships un- known to man because of lack of ex- perience are likely to be encountered, and because weather conditions are so erratic that the hazards of making any flight of longer duration than 10 to. 12 hours are tremendous. Whether Commander Byrd is suc- cessful in reaching the pole, if the expedition is able to study the ter- rain, and if the scientists are able to learn more of the flora and fauna, geographical and meteoological con- ditions in the Antarctic, the trip will have accomplished much. The world is anxiously awaiting the start of the expedition and wishes the party a safe voyage and return; to people in this section it will be doubly fascin- ating in view of the fact that Com- mander Byrd has twice appeared in Ann Arbor and because of the rela- tionship of Professor Gould, Michigan representative, to the expedition.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE To the editor.: The peurile performance of assum- ing the role of professional critic of an amateur play is extremely well executed in the asinine outbreak of two upstarts listed as sophomores in the Student Directory of the Univer- sity of Michigan, who condescended to take notice of a play produced by students of the Ann Arbor high school. By a slight change of phrasing their own words in The Michigan Daily of Saturday, March 31, seem quite ap- plicable to their own case.. "Age cannot wither oand amateurs cannot state the infinite variety of "chestnut critics." "From the open- ing" sentence, wherein the flow of nonsense 'rippled aimlessly to the closing paragraph, Simons and Mon- roe could maintain their "reputation for seeing the end of ham pro- ductions." Although the form and content of the criticism were poor, for collegej T/M!D ROLL KEEP - ANIIVALS AT THE CLOSING meeting of the Michigan Academy it was resolved that wild animals should not be im- ported into the state except for scien- tific purposes. * * * IF I'HIS IS to be taken it means a great deal more Registrar Smith. * * seriously work for IN THE FIRST place he will have to be more careful about allowing stu- dents from Ohio to enter the Uni- versity. As for Chicago, he will have to place a complete ban on the sub- ject. * * * THE COACHES AT the Field House don't like the idea for they fear that it will mean an end to their football supremacy if they age not allowed to import any more Wolverines. * * * ' UNION TO AMEND AGAIN IT SEEMS THAT there is still something the matter with the Union constitution and they are going to propose another amendment. We think that the best thing they could do would be to junk the constitution and get a new one. * * * IN MAKING THE new constitution the quorum for voting on the new proposals should be 10 instead of 600. One can always go into the lobby and rope in ten students to vote, but when it comes to 600 there has to be at least 200 proxy votes to make the thing go. * * * WE TOLD YOU SO THE SENIOR CLASS is still willing to take your dues if you want to pay them. We knew that they would re-] fuse the money, BUT NOT TODAY WE SHOULDN'T WONDER if the class was still willing to accept the dues on graduation day. If the class won't the treasurer will do you a personalfavor and take the money from you. LAW SMOKER THE FRESHMAN LAW smoker was hel& last night and the boys were all prepared for a rush of Engineers, but the boys who wear the jackets seem- ed to think that lawyers are much safer to play with in tuxedos than in street clothes. rtAT THAT WE look forward with interest to the swingout affair when we shall be safe in the midst of the literary class, about one thousand strong, and see the fun. We men- tioned the thousand for our own safe- ty. MORE RESOLUTIONS AT THE SAME meeting of the Michigan Academy mentioned above the members resolved that (better knowledge of the forests should be had. Now here is a good resolution Sandyet they close the arboretum. HOW IN THE world can students learn how trees react in the night ime if there are gates on the arbor- etum? GRID NOTES IT IS EXPECTED that Mayor Thompson will come to the banquet, but no one knows definitely. If he comes, he has assured the committee, he will not bring any of the gun men with him. After all he is a Yale graduate. * * * THAT'S REALLY THE truth, Wil- liam Hale Thompson graduated from Yale college, but Yale never brags about it. * * * ON THESE ALUMNI THE, PRESIDENT HAD a lot of things to say to the alumni the other night at one of their banquets. He told them that they never thought of the University except at footballs games. * * * , PERSONALLY WE THINK that they think very little of the Uni- versity even then, for it is fairly well known that the alumni of the Univer, sity of Michigan pay less money tol our athletes than the alumni of prac- tically any other college in the West and probably less than any other school in the country. None of the others could pay less than nothing. MR. WILL ROGERS YESTERDAY WE .WENT over to the Union to interview Will Rogers with the rest of The Daily Staff. He seems to be a good scout and told THEATER BOOKS MUSIC TONIGHT: Dailes Frant, pianist, assisted by Guy Maer, in recital in Pattengill auditor- lum, at 8 o'clock. TONIGHT: The Rockford Play- ers present George Bernard Shaw's "Candida'" in the Whitney theater at 8 o'clock. * * * "CANDIDA" A review, by Vincent Wall Thse who regard dramatists as purveyors of amusement were proba bly a little disappointed at Shaw last evening. "Candida" is a wonderful drama between the covers of a book, but it plays rather slow. It is not a witty, brilliant epigrammist who is writing "Candida;" nor a canny dramatist intermingling the froth and foam of antithetic aphorisms with plot interest; but a rather rebelliou Shaw, who has created an incisive and subtle study of English domes. ticity. In so doing he has created not six characters, but six people, definitely described within his dramatic limits, and living certain moments of their lives on that space bounded by the proscenium arch, flats and back wall which we call a stage. To produce the play successfully every one of the six must be made to stand out in- dividually as a living entity-or the production fails. That is why it has been done so infrequently either in England or America; and why Rich- ard Mansfield withdrew it from his repertory after rehearsing it a whole season. Judged 'in 'this light, the Rockford Players were eminently successful. Candida-"who never knew the secret in the poet's heart"-lived again under the Pygmalion-like touches of Elsie Herndon Kearns. The character was to Shaw the symbol of universal wo- manhood-the woman who is mother, wife, coquette, and all this hidden be- hind the mask of a Mona Lisa smile. Marchbanks could describe her much better than I, for he was a poet, and she was a woman about whom men write' poetry. It can only be said that Miss Kear-ns' performance was as re- markable as she is-not perhaps as vivid as her Hedda Gabler, but more profound, anid at least done with the same artistry. The most inspired moments of the play occur in the last act; and they are the moments that stand out in the work of Robert Henderson as Marchbanks and Charles Warbuton as James Morell. Candida is forced to her choice between a "wretched little nervous disease" and "a pig- headed parson," between Morell, who glories in his physical strength and Marchbanks, who is a giant in his conception of the truth. Both Warburton and Henderson aue excellent in delineating respec- tively the pompdus windbag and the neurotic poet. No less so were the others-Kate Holland Patton, as Pros- sy; Franz Rothe as Burgess; and Samuell Bonell as Lexy Mills. It is a bill well acted by the Players, and it is regretted that it is to be the last. * * THE FACULTY RECITAL A review, by Nicholas Pickard Sunday afternoon, another concert in the Faculty Concert series of the School of Music was given in Hill auditorium. The school symphony or- chestra, conducted by Samuel Lock- wood, with Marian Freeman and Al- b6rt Lockwood as soloists, gave two short compositions for orchestra by Moscowski and Mozart, a Czardas of Hubay and a gigantic Brahms concer- to. The Moscowski, a Spanish Dance, was light and trivial, and the Motet of Mozart was very likely one of those whims, which took Mozart about half an hour to compose, but which never- theless inbues all that is lovely in mu- sic. The Hubay Czardas, in the man- ner of the Liszt rhapsodies was slight- ly heavier. Composed as a violin con- certo, it exhibits the slow and then rapid tempo of the Hungarian dance, but falls short of the class of music attained by Liszt, Dvorak or Brahms in this field. Marion Freeman's play- ing was rather mechanical and her tone, harsh and grating. Of Brahms' second piano concerto, opus No. 83, no apter term can be found than to say that it was typically Brahmsian. Profound, noble and migh- ty, it surged through four gripping movements; it is a concerto that should be considered a historic event in the development of pianistic litera- ture. It was capably delivered by Albert Lockwood, who is an excellent ... . ...-............ -Detroit Theaters i I ' 1 I! 'WYoodward, at Eliot- PLAYHOUSE N. IGhTS, 75c, $1.50. Mats.
