eastern visit to secure information
for his survey on collegiate adult
education. He returned to Ann Ar-
bor Wednesday . afternoon after
completing his final western tour
and left for New York, Friday.
,Thus far he has devoted his time.
to inspection of large universities
and colleges throughout the coun-
garding the extent to which plans

such as the Alumni university,
here at Michigan have been de-j
veloped elsewhere. His entire sur-

of the American Association for
Adult Education is being financed
by the Carnegie foundation
Shaw will return to Ann Arbor
once more in the near future be-
fore settling in New York City for
several months to complete his re-
port on the work he has been do-
ing.
In September, he will return to
Ann Arbor to take up his duties.
D. W. Griffith's attempt to equal
the Emil Jannings picture of #a
year ago, "The Way of All Flesh,"
falls a little short in "The Battle of
the Sexes," which is being shown
at the Majestic until Wednesday.
The theme of the picture, accord-I
ing to the advertisements, is the
answer to the question "Which sex
is love-free?" but we failed to
find any new information on the
subject, even after Jean Hersholt
and Phyllis Haver had done their
best to prove some side of the ar-
gument to Griffith's satisfaction.
The story of "The Battle of the
Sexes" opens with a birthday party,
at a nice, law-abiding, church-go-
ing American home, in which Papa
comes home from the barber shop
laden with presents. Belle Ben-
nett's portrayal of the mother is as
refreshing a piece of acting as we
have seen in many a moon, and her
surprise and delight at the new
birthday gifts is genuine. Now it
happens that a young lady black-
mailer has overheard some barber
shop conversation about Papa's
newly acquired wealth, and so she
rents an apartment adjacent and
begins her work. How she finally
snares the old boy, all but robs
him, disgraces him and his family
before the public, and nearly
causes a suicide and a murder all
comes out in the wash. The un-
1 wieldiness of the situation makes
its unraveling even more complex.
The cast is excellent, including
Sally O'Neill, Phyllis Haver, Jean
Hersholt, Belle Bennett, and Don
Alvarado, who is rightly cast, for
once. The picture itself has re-
freshing moments enough to war-
rant a recommendation.

handsome, educated, a leader
but . . . an outcast from both
races . . . a Redskin!
"REDSKIN"-The drama of a
race clinging to traditions of
ther people in the face of the
march of modern civilization.
"REDSKIN" depicts the struggle
of youth against the caution of
age; the striving for release from
the chains of tribal custom.
"REDSKIN" Is photographed in
natural colors-all the natural
beauties of the open spaces will

Richard Dix renders his greatest
performance on the screen as
the modernized, educated Navajo
Indian who is cast out by his
own people because of his refusal
to adopt again the customs of
his tribe.
It is a story of the present day.
Of an Indian boy and a girl.
Tribal hatreds rise to keep them
apart. Their mad fight to retain
their love for each other despite
tremendous odds is the basis of
the ;story which has been ac-
claimed throughout the country.
