Schemm George Hamilton Sherwood Upton Agnes Herwig YMarie Wellstead Walter Yeagley In a current issue of "The Na- tion" is an article entitled "College Morality" which says, in part: "But the sex problem is by no means the most serious problem in our college life; the outstanding sin is the undergraduates' absorp- tion in triviality. Practically every college in America has its under- graduates/ overorganized in a hun- dred varieties of 'student activity' which assume a higher place in the estination of !the students than class room distinction. In most colleges thought outside the class room is positivelyunpopular. Only the 'radicals' and a few isolated, brilliant students enjoy the give and take of fundamental conver- sation. 'You might as well be at a summer resort,' said one student in describing his college." Being acquainted with but one university, I should not feel justi- fied irn making such an inclusive generalization as the above; but insofar as that one university is concerned, I could easily appear infinitely more gloomy and pessi- mistic and at the same time slight not a whit my fairly evenly-tem- pered optimism. I speak, of course, of Michigan. The student naturally has his handicaps, which might be classi- fied thus: (a) Self-imposed OLL ITS A BOY! The name of the new Union Opera is "Rainbow's End," and that leads one to believe that there will be a pot of gold at the finis. Don't think it for a minute, people, for you won't find a single pot of gold in the entire show. But the Union will.

The Crothers opus is a three-act comedy which, when produced in 1918 at the Vanderbilt theatre in New York, turned out to be a not- able success and maintained its author's reputation for sincere and amusing dramatic writing. Other hits, which have furthered this reputation, are "Mary the Third," and "Old Lady 31." The cast is rather large, numbering 18 speak- ing parts. Admission to the production is by invitation only, as is proper in case of laboratory work, and this policy will continue for some time yet until technical problems are sufficiently mastered for public of- ferings. R. L. A. ** * THE GUEST ORGANIST'S CONCERT By Paul L. Adams With an :ncoent, captivating personality, Fernando Germani, guest organist yesterday afternoon for the Twilight organ concert, gave an impressive though not startling performance which revealed a masterful technic and at times an astonishing interpretative skill. The opening movements of the "Concerto .in D Minor" by Vivaldi- Bach were rather phlegmatically rendered but the adagio was ex- quisite, and the allegro was also well done. The two Bossi numbers, "Scena Pastrole" and "Colloquy with the Swallows" were delicate, rather beautiful tone gems appreciatively rendered, but suffered in contrast with Bach's "Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor" which was probably the high spot of the program. Mr. Germani is not the youthful prod- igy which pre-press reports would make him. He is not in fact to be compared with Palmer Christian, but he did do this number with excellent skill, and an intellectual interpretation. His own composition, "Gigue," was a pleasing, light number whim- sically played without any pretense at being a sensation, which was re-. freshing. The Torres number, "Sautas," be- longing to the modernistic school was an interesting portrayal of a cathedral atmosphere, but, like so ~much of the modern tonal music, it possessed a suspension or rather, lack of amination in mood which is at once its chief charm and defect. "Studio da Concerto" of Manari revealed to the full the astounding technic of Mr. Germani. The pedal passages were nothing short of marvelously done, considering their difficulty; and the piece as a whole was rendered in a masterful fash- ion which the mere technical diffi- culty of it did not obscure. * * * THE DALIES FRANTZ RECITAL By Herbert Schwartz Dalies Frantz played a Brahms program last night in the School of Music auditorium, the first con- cert of the season in this series. Mr. Frantz returns to Ann Arbor fresh from performances in several of the larger musical centers of Europe. A recital restricted to Brahms is a very hazardous undertaking, even for the most experienced artist. The music, for the most part, is not obvious and if it is to escape heaviness and thick vagueness it must be done superlatively well. Mr. Frantz did not play the music superlatively well and the results were at times, frankly boring. His inadequacy was twofold: technical- ly, solidity of tone and accuracy of rhythm was limited to chord and octave passages, which assuredly constitutes much of Brahms' music but by no means all of it; musically, the artist was very much at home in more buoyant moods, as in the opening chords of the F Minor Sonata, much of the G Minor Rhapsody, several of the variations! and especially the fugue in the Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Handel, but there is much in Brahms that is not buoyant and here the pianist seemed lost. In the Andante of the sonata, this was particularly noticeable. But Mr. Frantz has many valu- able qualities, more than enough to make a very exceptional pianist h~av worn- rmnan+.a y fPvPnnPer1I , r r "Onyx Pbint¢x" No matter what occasion you have in mind; no matter what time of the day, The Collins Shoppe offers you hosiery created to suit wants. your particular .t University Students : :i ,. ;>'4: , t.. .; ..
