However, it will be noted that Representative McLeod of Detroit has introduced into the House a mere women like Gertrude Ederle can swim the English channel with their left hand, why should we get a thrill when Sir Richard kicks across the Hellespont (a mile and a quarter)) after failing three or four times. We have a sneaking suspicion that he used water wings on the successful attempt.

"THE CONSTANT WIFE" Reviewed by Arthur W. Decker Play Production's latest-"The Constant Wife," by W. Somerset Maugham-is a sparkling, sophisti- cated farce based on modern mar- riage. It moves lightly and enter- tainly through three acts to end with an entirely new situation that is refreshingly hilarious. The play is typically of the modern tradi- tion-it even gives vent to collegiate 'slang now and then. The Constant Wife deals with a woman who considers the economic the only sane basis for marriage. While her husband is unfaithful she remains constant, due to her DAWN DOUGHNUTS 31 EE III I 11111111fil - Sport T 3 Shoes FOR MEN AND WOMEN 'rrTTT-. E $628s . $7,8 X8.50 I the public eye. Years of research and careful in- vestigation have brought forth re- ports endorsing the plan as a gen- uinely worth while economic ges- ture. Since the present session of Congress has been called for theI question of farm relief and re- vision of the tariff, it seems that now Is the time for the action that will put some teeth in the agita- tion for the measure which is so very definitely linked up with farm relief and aiding the middle West. action), has swum the length of the Panama Canal without paying toll, we suppose, and has slept with the gods on Mount Olympus. To all of which we mildly ask, what of it? The blithe Sir Richard, shunning the family gold, seeks adventure and romance "on a shoestring."' Then he sells it to the American people for a fortine. We really think that he must feel ever so much more romance to see the thousand rolling into the coffers F'LORSHEIM SPORT STYLES 10.00 We have by far the largest selection in Ann Arbor pus Am."ooter 304 SOUTH TAT STREET Now is the time; let us hope thatI Mary Chase )eanette Dale ' Utaiul AiaVis Bessie Egeland Sally Faster.

It also takes thisI opportunity for a few remarks, that we hope will be relevant, on the subject of scholarship arid its rela- tion to society. These remarks should not be construed as derogatory to scholar- ship. Rather they seek to discour- age a monotheistic attitude toward it, for a doubt exists in our mind' whether mere scholarship, or mere Industry, per se, is a boon to the person within whom it resides or to the community where he lives.

Two things stand out in the show s as worthy Critical comment. The first, that with Florence Reed play- ing Lady Macbeth, the whole f drama is given an interpretation that is unique in its history. It has become the story of a brilliant- ly hard and avaricious woman whose personality is so strong that she can carry her faltering- hus- band through to the completion of a crime that is one of the most stirring in dramatic literature. And f when the play draws to its close, though she is known to be dying, a victim to the nervous ordeal of guilt her spirit goes on in her weaker husband who is bolstered up by the assurance that he shall never die by the hand of man born of woman. Florence Reed makes her interpretation completely convinc- ing, and,-finds masterly support in Lyn Harding as Macbeth, and Wil- liam Parripw as MacdufT. The Gcirdon Craig designs are a brilliane featbre of the mounting of the Orodwetion, but their artistry lies in, tie complete subordination ' of the scenic materials to the theme I of the drama. Craig works on the theory that the essential nature of the dramatic appeal of a play may be condensud and embodied in the I scenery in such a way that the I scenic artist and the author may I seem to be collaborating in telling the story. To a considerable extent Craig relies on symbolism. Another instrument is light, and with it, color.. And masses can be made tea convey a dramatic significance. Us- ing the range of materials an art- ist can vonceive, Craig has sue- eeeded in so arranging the ele- l inents of his designs tliat they E make an immensely effective back- ground for the actors as they inter- prete the drama, while the last glimpse of the set for each scene expresses the mood that the action has aroused.
