"If Thornton Wilder's 'Bridge of San
Luis Rey' becomes a classic, it will
be because of its style," said Dr. Cla-
rence D. Thorpe, associate professor
of rhetoric, in commenting on the
Pulitzer prize awards. "It is this qual-
ity which, probably, brought it to the
attention of the judges; though the
clharacter analysis has been done skill-
fully and neatly."
Dr. Thorpe proceeded to demons-
trate how "The Bridge of San Luis
Rey" fulfilled the conditions of the
Pulitzer awards in that it was "the;
American novel published during the
year which best represented the whole
atmosphere of American life and the
highest standards of American man-
ners and manhood." The story which
is one of old Peru has been termed
a metaphysical study of live. Dr.
Thorpe , showed how Wilder in us-
ing the analytic method in discover-
ing the fundamental causes; employed
a method of thinkiig by Americans.
He considered the book also as re-;
presenting the American spirit in that
it does not give a solution, but is in-
derminate. On the other hand, Dr.
Thorpe believed that the basis upon
which the book was given was in-
teresting in that the tone of the en-+
tire book was exotic, and that it was
a romantic reaction against super-
charged realism.+
Commenting on Eugene O'Neill's
"Strange Interlude" which won the
drama prize as being "the original,
American play which best represents
the educational value and power of'

the stage in raising the standards of
good morals, good taste, and good
manners," Dr. Thorpe felt that O'Neill
is making a daring experiment in
technique since he is attempting to
do in a play what authors are doing
in novels. Formerly it was thought
that that was impossible but the solil-
oquies of the "Strange Interlude"
which, incidently O'Neill has develop-
ed to a greater extent than any other
dramatist, have accomplished the im-
possible. If there is any fault to be
found with the play, Dr. Thorne claims
that it is the absence of material left
for the imagination. He further adds
that he disagrees with those critics
who claim that the "Strange Inter-
lude" violates the traditions of unity
since the play center about the reac-
tions of a woman in an incident of her
life. .Dr. Thorpe considers O'Neill to
have made a powerful representation
of a phase of a woman's life.
Speaking on the Pulitzers prizes in
general, Dr. Thorpe disproved Sin-
clair Lewis' stand of two years ago
when he refused the prize for his nov-
el "Arrowsmith." Dr. Thorpe contends
that the falsity of Lewis' position has
adequately been proved by Eugene
O'Neill who has won the prize for the
third time without losing any of the
independence of an artist. In fact,
O'Neill has done more experimenting
than any other dramatist in the coun-
try. His latest prize winner marks
an improvement over his former prize
takers, "Beyond the Horizon," and
"Anna Christie."

back the burden of all the lesser mis-
sionarie's who are going to set the
world right by all sorts of applica-
tions and misapplicatiois of his th'eor-
ies. They are admirable, these mis-
sionaries; but they are not Tolstoy.
Nor are they a good substitute. Per-
haps the Centenary edition which is
being published i~n England now will
restore his status as a literary man.
"That has been disputed by Chek-
Ihov," Professor Jack went on to say,
"though only temporarily. .Thi's ar-
tist, preaching moral defeatism with
superlative artistry, appealed to a lost
generation which had no convictions
and wanted none. But we cannot go
on forever admiring Checkhov's ad-
mirable sterile art. Tolstoy, the poet
of humanity, of religion, of positive
values, will prove to have the greater
stamina. I imagine he will regain a
prcstige even higher than his first
success, and, if he does so, it will be
mainly because his novels and tales--
such as 'Anna Karenina' and 'Ivan'-,
have in them an attitude to exper-
ience which is positive, organic, con-
structive. The man's nature lies in
them. It was a nature richer and
more fruitful than Chekhov's."
Professor Jack concluded by saying
that Tolstoy's book on art cannot be
entirely accepted, for it sub'stitues
ethic for esthetic and arrives at the
intolerable conclusion that "Uncle
Tom's Cabin' is greater than "King
Lear." Yet he was absolutely right in
insisting on the ethical justification of
art and his tales contain the best an-
swver to the question "'What is Art?"

With this invention, movies will
have their own accompaniment work-
ed out by experts before release. A
cue sheet will be sent to exhibitors
whereby the proper records .will be
played at the proper timre, assuring
an unbroken musical presentaton in
keeping with the continuity "of the
picture..
YOST TO ADDRESS
C. M. T. C. MEETING
Coach Fielding H. Yost will be one
of the principal speakers at a ban-
quet of all C.M.T.C. trainees who are
holding a reunion at the Crystal ball-
room, Masonic Temple, in Detroit on
Friday, May 18. The banquet is being

any of the C.M.T.C. training camps.

manding officer of the Michigan Na-
tional Guard; Colonel Henry . Eame-
es, who will command Camp Custer
this sumer, and Phelps Newberry, ci-
vilian aide for Michigan to Secretary
of War Davis. This will be the first
reunihn and rally held in Michigan. It
has been planned in an effort to ob-

convention at Houston today were
pledged to Gov. Alfred E. Smith as
long a's his name is before the con-
vention.
The 26 district delegates, with one
vote each, and eight delegates at large,
the later with a half vote each, were in-
structed and qualified for Smith at
the convention here today.
Vociferous acclaim greeted every
mention of the New York governor's
name, drowning all opposition and
when the Smith resolution was put not
a dissenting voice was raised.
The only note of the convention that
might have been termed unharmon-
ious was struck by Dr. Frank Jar-
"vis of Grand Rapids who with a few
adherents opposed binding delegates
to Smith until agreed upon by the
delegate's themselves. His motion to
put' the resolution to a vote, however,
was not put to a vote.
Any menion of the name of the New
York governor was a spark that set
off prolonged demonstrations among
the delegates and the applause
reached a climax during the keynote
speech of George A. Burke of Ann
Arbor.
Pandemonium broke loose when
SSmith's name was mentioned. The
convention leaped to its feet almost
to a man and the howling and whistles
of the delegates drowned out the band
playing the Democratic war song,
"Sidewalks of New York." It was
several minutes 'before order could be
restored and' the busi'ne'ss of the meet-
ing taken 'up ,again. The demonstra-
tions were repeated time and again.
The convention interrupted its de-
liberations long enough to hold a pre-
primary .conference which shaped a
platform for the fall campaign which
contained the followintg planks:
"Law enforcement, economy in the
state government, a state income tax,
repeal of the administrative board act,
}abolish state police except for high-
! way patrol. purposes,: amend the elec-
tion laws to eliminate corruption and
,to revise the Republican primary and
'election system, pre-party caucuses,
a pay-as-you-go policy for highways,
amendment to the constitution and
primary 'school laws for the benefit of
the poorer counties, the lake to the
sea waterway, opposing convict labor
contracts in state penal insitutions.
The conference endorsed C. F. Ben-
edict of .Lake Linden, Dr. Angus Mc-
Lean, Edward Frendrom of Hudson
and George Weadoct of Saginaw for
the party nomination for-United States
senator.
William A. Com'stock of Detroit,
Judge Frank Murphy, and James B.
Ralph, Kalamazoo, were endorsed for
governor. For Lieutenant Governor,
Vedor Elserdiek, Grand Rapids;
Frank Sawyer, Grand Blant; John B.
Buddihy, Calument were endorsed.
