SUNDAY, MAY 20, 1928. THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGIE cil lj Sill? vA- ,- 4 WEEK END OF MAY FESTIVAL PROVES GAY TIME IN SOCIETY PRESENT PORGY HERE' Theatre Guid Suecess On Tour Only A Week; Ann Arbor Will Have Two Performances7 OCT. 31 IS PROBABLE DATE "Porgy," New York dramatic suc- cess, is being brough to Ann Arbor by the Michigan Alumnae, and will appear at the Whitney theatre for two performances. Mrs. W. B. Hend- erson, executive secretary of the Al- umnae Council, has announced the probable date as Wednesday, Oct. 31. The same cast that appeared at the Masonic Temple in Detroit will ap- pear in the Ann Arbor production. Reservations arealready being tak- en at the Alumni office, Room;A, Me- morial hall, and the prices will be the regular Whitney prices, ranging from $3.50 to $2.00. Attention is called to all persons that reservations can be made now and paid for in the fall, thus securing excellent seats for both theafternoon and evening perform- ances. "Porgy" is the most outstanding Theatre Guild production of the year, and is placed on tour for one week only. Ann Arbor is most fortunate in securing one of these days. The pro- duction goes directly to Chicago from here where it will play indefinitely. "Porgy" has an, all colored cast and has played to capacity houses in New York and Detroit. Several of the Ann Arbor people who saw the play In Detroit have already made reserva- tions for the Ann Arbor production, thereby expressing the feling that "Porgy" is a play which can be seen again and again. The negro spirituals sing in the play are In themselves worth the price of admission, accord- ng to current report.. ANN ARBOR TOWNE Ann Arbor on a rainy day. A show- er at 8 o'clock otaches everyone on their way to class. Goodness know's, 8 o'clocks are bad enough without hav- ing to sit throu.gh them with wet feet. It rains hard at first, then subsides to a gentle shower, which is still wet enough to be uncomfortable, however. The usual flood may be found under the Engineers arch. Such clever men a's the engineers should be able to do something about it. Perhaps they de- rive a certain amusemeit, though, from watching people splash through. Throngs of students-nd oters registered in the university-hurry across campus. As the zero hour draws near, th crowd thins out and soon there are only a few belated stragglers. Some have a worried ex- pression, as if they were really sorry to be late. Others poke along in the hope that they will be so late that it would be actually rude to annoy the professor by entering after he has be- gun his lecture. At the beginning of the next hour it is still raining, but ith stops for a few minutes and the sun comes out. The many hued slickers of the women glisten. The men themselves are like little-rays of sunshine in their gleam- ing yellow raincoats. It is warm, and the air is sweet with the odor of spring. Even wet feet and the thought of the bluebook coming the next hour can't .entirely overcome the feeling that Ann Arbor on a rainy day in spring is pretty nice after all. CODE RECOGNIZES MEXICAN WOMEN The rights of Mexican women, in everything except unrestricted suf- frage, are recognized in the new Fed- ,eral civil code, scheduled for promul- gation shortly. Women reeive full rights to participate in any activity without impediment, and obtain an equal share in the rearing and edu- cation of children. They have the right for the first time to act as trus- tees and administrator's. A wife need no longer have the consent of her hus- hand to engage in any profession. Martha Norelius, Kansas university swimmer, broke the world's record for the 600 yard free style race. Entertainment for Lantern night guests and music lovers have en- livened the social calendar for the past week. Many Alumnae have re- turned for the Lantern night Pere- monies, while the Festival has at- tracted its usual quota of visitors. Sororities which have not already en- tertained their mothers have taken this opportunity to have house par- ties for them. house Guests Entertained Am Loomis, '22, of the Rockford players and Mrs. G. Sherwin Haxton of Oakfield, N.Y., have been guests at the Chi Omega house during the May festival. Edna Kadeow, '25, of To- ledo, Ohio has also been spending sev-i eral days there as a guest for the Lantern night ceremonies. * Nine mothers are guests at the Kap- pa.
