representing the entire active drama-
tic interest on the campus.
The problem next looms of holding
an organization of 400 together with
four dinners a year. This obviously
is the weakest point in the proposed
plan for the club, and one which will
not be remedied until Mr. Fleischnian
reveals what is in the back of his
mind. It is possible, however, that he
means eventually to expand the First'
Nighters' club into a producing or-
ganization that would absorb or super-
sede the present ones Such a com-
bination together with the new theater
building is not an unworthy aim.
But Mimes, naturally, that has built
up for itself a high prestige, can be
depended upon to interpose violent
opposition to the First Nighters' club.
A preliminary salvo was fired Thurs-
day night when a committee was ap-
pointed to promote the new theater
with the University administration.
Mimes, however, is somewhat late.
They have postponed this step until
a new organization, proposed in large
measure to supplement their defici-
ency, is in the air-an organization
better suited in point of size and am-
bition. to undertake the University
theater agitation.
The University theater should be the
common aim of all campus dramatic
groups, unclouded by factional and
unedifying squabbles among rivals
for campus prestige. It is to be hoped
that'Mimes will arbitrate in a broad-
minded and generous way with the
supporters of the First Nighters' club,
consulting not merely their own name
and position on the campus but the
future of the new theater and the
standard of campus productions.
ANOTHER PROPOSAL
With frequency for the past ten
years the query has been made, "Why
has Michigan no crew?" to which the
logical retort seems to be "Yes, why?"
The general reason behind this omis-
sion in the University's athletic poli-
cy is probably the fact that no other
member of the Western conference
has a crew except Wisconsin, whose
shells have never acquired much fame.
More specifically, no one has ap-
peared yet on the local campus with
the initiative to promote a crew and
the ability to direct the enterprise.
There are also several current myths
to the effect that natural and financial
obstacles stand in the way of the
project.
To those who argue that there is no
suitable body of water near Ann Ar-
bor on which to race, we would point
out the two-mile stretch of the Huron
river above Barton dam, which hasI
been acclaimed as perfectly adequate
by several rowing devotees in Ann
Arbor. From Foster's crossing to thet
dam the river winds around two bends
with ample room for a couple of
crews. Any difficulties of the course
would give the coxswain an opportun-
ity to do something more than cry1
"stroke" and encouragement.
The second difficulty that looms
large in the way of a Michigan crew
is the initial outlay which would
amount to $10,000, perhaps more.I
Three eight oared shells, costing int
the neighborhood of $1,000 apiece, and
a boat house have been suggested asc
a suitable plant to begin with. Itj
would seem, however, that the Ath-
letic association could perhaps locatec
the wherewithal to finance a crew.-
It is to be hoped that the question
of a coach could be solved in some
such ideal fashion as the question of8

a coach for the tennis team has been
solved. Rowing is a form of sport,
like tennis, that attracts men to non-
paying coaching positions for thet
sheer love of the game.t
Even, of course, with a course, a
plant, and a coach, crews would not
spring suddenly into existence to re-2
present their alma mater. A rowing
spirit, a sort of crew-mindedness,f
would have first to be developed among
the student body-possibly through
the plan which has been suggested
providing a number of four oared
shells to be used by intramural teams
in the process of developing 'varsity
material for eight oarded shells. Thex
absence of a crew tradition at Mich-X
igan and throughout the Conferencea
would mean the lapse of several years
before rowing could become a recog-N
nized 'varsity sport, but nothing ap-
parently except a lack of initiative
is keeping Michigan from eventually
"ruling the waves."
An Ann Arbor paper has the follow- 1
ing headline, "Circus To Appear Here o
This Month." Twenty years ago it
would have read, "Student-Circus Riot
To Be Held This Month." How the
mighty have fallen!
According to a recent estimate, Il-
linois led all other states in net pro-
fits received from boxing-and wrestl-
ing shows in 1927. They must have

SOME ADVERTISEMENTS

TZHE PROPOSAL FOR A
UNIVERSITY THEATER '
A University theater, which now
stands among the first four or five
building needs of the University, has
long been sought by followers of dra-
matics at Michigan as a logical so-
lution of the campus dramatic prob-
lems. Within the week two worthy
proposals to interest the administra-
tion in the new theater have come to
light, but with some elements of con-
flict that will have to be reconciled
befure the cause of dramatics can best
be served.
Before the Student council meeting
of last Wednesday night Mr. Earl E.
Fleischman of the speech department
urged his proposal of a "First Night-
ers' Club" to consolidate the dramatic
opinion of the campus in one group
with a view to promoting the new
theater and securing better coopera-
tion among campus producing organ.
izations.
The proposed club would consist of
a closed membership of 400 students
drawn from Mimes, Comedy club, Play
production, and other centers or dra-
matic interest, who would meet four
times a year around a dinner table.
An executive board elected by the
membership would direct the activi-
ties of the club, which would be a
non-producing oranization.
The first criticism that is logically
directed at the scheme is a charge of"
attempting to organize further on an
over-organized campus. If, however, a
field of usefulness can be pointed out
for the proposed club, and provisions
can be made to hold it together lest
it become another deceased farce, then
the project will be justified and will
deserve the recommendation of the
council, asked by Fleischman, and the
support of the student body.
The usefulness of the club would
depend in large measure on the activi-
ty of its supporters and the quality
and sincerity of its leaders. Assum-
ing; that it should include in its mem-
bership the cream of the campus dra-
matic talent, there is no doubt that
the club could influence the quality
of campus productions by lending to"
or withdrawing its support from the
producing groups. It could also elim-
inate the competitive undermining of
membership among the groups such
as wrecked Masques and has reduced]
Coned club to its present position.I

THE FOURTH CONCERT
A review by Harold May
In addition to being elaborately en-
ergetic, Leonora Corona could 'sing.
She never took a high note without
first crouching for it, but when she
did take it, it was full, accurate, and
powerful. In her singing of the Ital-
ian operatic numbers she showed an
appreciation for the melodramatic
swell that is required for the proper
production of the music of that peo-
ple. The "Casta Diva" was the most
beautiful and probably the best sung
of her Italian selections, but "Adieu,
Forets" from Tschaikowski's "Jeanne
d'Arc" was immeasurably the best
thing she did. It was superior as a
song to any other number on her pro-
gram and was sung with much more
effect and ease than she obtained in
any previous song. Leonora's voice
was of equal quality both in the lower
and higher registers; her coloratura
interlude in "Casta Diva," once she
got into it, was very good, but ease
was not her strong point.
Percy Grainger and the University
Choral Union thrilled the auditori-
um with the "Marching Song of De-
mocracy." This choral was taken at
a lively and energetic tempo, and it
swung in this rapid pace from climax
to climax ending in a breath-taking
culmination with chorus, orchestra,
and Percy Grainger going their hard-
est and loudest. Percy Grainger con-
ducted his own work with vigor and
precision, and' the chorus responded
with more than their usual enthus-
iasm. It was somewhat dubious at
times, however, whether or not the
men's section of the chorus was go-
ing to come in on their parts, but
as they warmed to their business, they
showed increased assurance.
If there be a better conductor in
the business than Frederick Stock, he
has not been much on the horizon
lately. With the exception of "Le Ba-
ruffe Chiozzotte" (Singaglia) his pro-
gram was the best that has been given
in Ann Arbor this year. Glazounow's
Symphony No. 4, E flat Major was in-
teresting and absorbing, the themes
were lyric and their development
skillful. Probably the most brilliant
work to be performed last night and,
for that matter in the whole Festival,
was Stravinski's suite from the Ballet
"L'Oiseau de Feu." It was the most
likely to attract attention because of
its unusual and startling instrumental
effects. The piece ran the gamut in
moods from lyric tenderness to whirl-
wind fierceness. The stringed instru-
ments, especially the harp, porduced
effects that other composers never
dreamed were in them. Stravinski
must have been an extremely practi-
cal musician, and an adventurous ex-
perimenter, in order to handle orches-
tration in the unusual but masterful
fashion that he does.
RABINOF- IONTANA
A review by Robert G. Gessner
Benno Rabinof is an artist. He will,
with a few more years of experience,
be a master. He has all that is ne-
cessary-a beautiful, crying tone-a
glorious, dazzling technic-and, above
all, a soul and a spirit. With these
prerequisites he will enter masterdom.
A little more polish will do it, and

that comes with the years. His pro--
gram was most difficult; Paganini's
"Witches' Dance," the supreme test of
the violinist, was rendered in magni-
ficent style. This piece is one of the
most difficult pieces that can ever be
attempted, and Rabinof showed as
that his ten years with Auer were
well spent. Mendelssohn's E Minor
Concerto gave the artist a full oppor-
tunity to display everything he had
from the fineness of his technic, from
the delicateness of his phrasing, and
from the subtleness of his interpre-
tation to the full power of his rich
tone, comingfrom one of the greatest
violins on the concert stage today.
Marie Montana has a well-educated
voice. It is a flexible voice, but more,
it is one of charming quality. Her
range goes beyond the necessary and
the adequate; it stirs our imagination
with its mere possibilities. All these
qualities, linked with a pleasing per-
sonality, give Marie Montana every-
thing a soprano could ever want. Yet
something is lacking. It must be that
one unconsciously compares her to
Rabinof. and her snirit can't stand

LUCK

Almost any day you hear the phrase, "Wish I had his
luck," said about some man who has risen to prominence
and wealth. But if you were to investigate the past of
this successful man you would undoubtedly find that his
rise was based on hard work, and the careful saving of
his money.
He realized that a savings account is the basic factor in
success.
