Music And Drama i Detroit Theaters r. . i TONIGHT: Comedy Club pre- sents Sardou's succe u' "meller,""Dire- " Mimes theatren * * * IN DETROIT With such imposing theatrical fireworks in Ann Arbor as the The-. ater Guild's production of "Porgy" and Comedy Club's thrill - ,Dplo- macy," Detroit theater business seems rather pale and colorless. "Porgy" scored a universal success with the cosmic sweep of its pagen- try which left no energy at all for criticism, and the Comedy Club ef- fort is so sincere and successful and in reproducing the heavy atmos- phere of diplomatic intrigue before which a fascinating love drama is" portrayed, that interest in the Mo- tor City's offerings naturally suf- fers. However, there are a number of things of note. At the Detroit Civic theatre, for- merly the Bonstelle Playhouse, Vera Allen, Miss Bonstelle's beauti ful and capable importation from New York for this season, is handl- ing the Ethel Barrymore part of Madame, the surgeon's wife, in W. Somerset Maugham's glittering comedy of marital affairs, "The Constant Wife." Playing in a fas- cinating vein of ironic comedy, Miss Barrymore scored one of her most important successes as the wife who wittily turns the tables of fidelity on her husband. Miss Al- len, playing the first sympathetic role she has had since the season opened, seems according to all re- ports to be giving a splendid inter- pretation. In the special special, a revival of Sutton Vane's "Outward Bound," Miss Bonstelle will make one of her infrequent appearances next Wed- nesday evening when she plays the part of "Miss Midget." At the Cass theater Arthur Ham- merstein's musical success, "Golden Dawn," continues for the remaind- er of this week and all of next week. Opening in Detroit last spring, its success then forecast the approval it would meet with in New York. Its appearance now, stamped with the badge of metropolitan approval, guarantees a delightful evening of popular music with a story set in the exotic color of Africa. "Nobody's Girl," at the Shubert Lafayette, features a rather un- usual plot in which the tomboy heroine seems at first not to have Someone to do the conventional romantic musical comedy business with until, in the last act, Nobody, in the person of John Novak, plays protagonist to the versatile Ilse Marvenga. The score is by William Ortmann, well known Detroit musi- cian and composer. A POOR PLAY. BUT GOOD ENTERTAINMENT Review by Paul L. Adams Heavily handicapped by a deci- dedly mediocre play, Comedy Club nevertheless furnished a very en- tertaining evening for the small crowd that attended their perform- ance of "Diplomacy" last evening. Throughout the first two acts, preparatory material weakened the play terribly with obvious exposi- tory speeches and slow building up of the complications; but, in the third and fourth acts, when the ac- tors were given a chance, they gave a really fine interpretation of this rather out-of-date melodrama. The play itself is certainly not to be recommended although it still has a certain amount of kick in it from the point of view of plot but the plot so obviously cramps the characters and limits them that its tricky -turns are hardly a compensation. Although the cast did nobly as a whole, several of the minor characters deserve special mention for their work which was excep- tional. Among these are Leone Lee as Mion, and George Johnson and Elizabeth McCurdy in the role of the Fairfazes who furnish the comedy relief. The humorousness of the latter was so good, that, al- though the parts have absolutely no CA33 THEATRE P --Nights $1 to $3.85; Wed. to $2; Sat.

C. Fischer Co. SHECKELS FOR THE A. A. The Athletic association owes a distant debt to the student body. When football games are being played fort the glory of Michigan and the replenishment of the association's coffers, the student body provides the team. It is the student body, also that rallies in support of the team and provides much of the atmosphere in the stadium that paying patrons come miles to experience and to be a part of. Without a student body there would be no football games, and therefore we submit that the stu- dents are entitled to'some consid- eration when the pasteboards are assigned through the officeof the association. We also recognize that there are certain obligations that the associ- ation owes to ,Michigan alumni. Friends of the University have made possible the erection of our new stadium-a logical, forward step in the development of ath- letics here that deserves universal commendation. To these friends, occasionally but not grudgingly re- ferred to as "bloated bondholders," we concede preference in ticket dis- tribution. Nor do we attach any stigma to the name of Harry Tillotson, busi- ness manager of the Athletic associ- ation, who finds it among his sev- eral duties to supervise the sale of tickets. It is not his fault that four-year men on the campus are still sitting around the corners of the stadium. He is forwarding the policy of the association to keep as voluminous as possible a stream of shekles dropping in the coffer,. and the shekels, it is realized, are chiefly forthcoming from persons' not enrolled in the University. Against this policy we point our jeremiad. We hold that good seats should be given to bondholders, members of the M-club, and mem- bers of the team. But we fail signally to see why the student body, according to the number of their years on the campus, should not be next in preference. HUGHES AND PROHIBITION Charles E. Hughes, aged, experi- enced, and dignified, has entered2 the political arena, with staunch( statements as to the effect of thei presidential election next Tuesday. Governor Smith's election, he says, would lead to "far greater names of communicants will, however, be regarded as confidential, upon re- quest. Letters published should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of the Daily. TO THE LANDLADIES It was with a great deal of dis- gust and no little amusement that I read yesterday's headlines, "Rooming House Owners Oppose New Dormitory." It was with even more amusement that I read the 1 reason offered by the petitioners. It is obviously true that the real estate investments of the owners will be jeopardized by the erection of the dormitory. But it is also obviously true that the realization of a long-planned and long-hoped- for building-the necessity of which is so imminent-cannot be defer- red for so selfish a desire on the part of these owners. It is appreciated by both the fac- ulty and the student body that these property owners are depen- dent -for their existence on their real estate and the renting of their houses. But do not the owners themselves realize that had they, in the past, presented to the students. the privileges and comforts which are so essential, there would have been no immediate necessity for a dormitory? "We feel that there are certain rights and safeguards to which the property owners of the city are en- titled, and for that reason we ask for an investigation to determine if such a move as that suggested is the best one from all angles."-to quote Mr. N. E. Brown. The answer to that is so apparent as to be sim- ple. Of course such a move is not the best from all angles. It is not best from THEIR angle. Yet "they have no desire to be unfair" . . But are they not being outrageously un- fair? Deprive us students of a dor-, mitory, in order that property own- ers might continue to accept our money, grow fat on us in exchange for the privilege of living in their unsatisfactory houses! And they "consider it only right f that they should know exactly what is happening." It is to laugh . . What is happening is this: The officials are actively working out something that has been talked over and quibbled over long enough. There will be a decrease in the de- mand for the houses, and the own- ers will no longer be able to extert unreasonable prices for their rooms. That is all. I do not believe that any intelli- gent official would or could grant after the Navy game? Who Said We Enjoyed Them? Dear Lark:. Since you seem to enjoy nursery rhymes, how ' do you like these.

We suggest, Dr. Wilce, that you take four feet of reinforced concrete, six feet high and plunk it right down in the Ohio line between left end and guard. Then, Coach Doctor Wilce, you'll have a substitute for Raskowski. The Matter Is Trivial; What Would YOU Do In The Case Of Mary Gold? Dear Lark: Are you too snooty to let a frail femme crash your line? (Editor's Note: Yes!) Ever since my arrival to this place of dedicated to higher education a deep question has distressed me exceedingly. As you are undoubtedly of the intelligentsia (Editor's Note: No, no!), I thought you might be able to relieve my mind.

Miss Lee, as the maid, made the very most of a light role, and stood out as one of the most finished per- formers of the evening. Robert Adams turned in a con sistant performance of high grade. The work of Lillian Selchel, was exceptionally fine in the third act, and charming throughout although she was not always wholly effec- tive in the tragic situations. Lorinda McAndrews, Thurston Thieme, and George Priehs, al- though they stalked the bdards during the first two acts like Ham- let's ghost, were really good in the latter portion of the play. Miss! McAndrews had a very difficult part to be anything but grotesque in, and she is to be commended for her success in making it as least partially acceptable to the audi- ence. Charles Peake made a very hand- some hero, but his dramatic ability
