ANTIGONE. By Prof. O. J. Campbell. A dramatic festival at the Uni- versity of- Michigan could be open- ed no more appropriately than by the presentation of Sophocles' An- tigone. Drama began in Athens as part of a great civic celebration given in honor of Bacchus, patron of both comedy and tragedy. Be- fore almost the entire male poula- tion of the city and many visitors from other parts of Greece who came to Athens at this time, dif- ferent plays were given on succes- sive days. Attendance at the the- atre on such occasions was in no sense a casual or perfunctory thing The drama was given, for its sea- son, first place in the attention and interest of the community. Further- more, a Greek play such as Anti- gone was created by a union of all of the arts of the theatre in their most perfect form. Heroic imper- sonation, superb declamation, po- etry, music and rhythmical action all united to deepen the under- standing of the audience and to intensify its emotional. sympathies. The chorus sang and danced in stately fashion its measures and even the individual actors sang some of the lyrical passages and occasionally joinedtheir voices with that of the chorus. To recreateathe impression made by such an art under the condi- tions of the modern stage is to challenge the highest sort of co- operation of a university audience and a highly intelligent group of actors. Miss Margaret Anglin is the American actress most likely to bring success to this high enter- prise. A great artist at the sum- mit of her career, she, better than any other American actress, should be able to make the great Anti- gone live again in the nobility and splendor given her by Sophocles. 0 THE ROAD TO ROME. Mimes opens again tonight with a performance of Robert Sher- wood's essay in historical burlesque that, turiaed out to be something more than historical burlesque. In 1927, there was a demand that John Erskine dramatize his Helen of Troy. ,rskine enjoyed the idea but savoured it too long. Sherwood stole a march on him by dramatiz- ing a similar historical episode in the same sly, satirical manner. Amytis, the talkative but sensa- tive Greek wife of Fabius, the dic- tator of Rome, becomes annoyed by dthe sentimental ideal and plati- tude '" ft A her Roman husband When Harnibal, whom seeing she erotically idealizes, plans his at- tack on Rome, she secretly travels to his camp to astound him with the stifling question: What Price Glory? Hannibal flounders for an answer, but while floundering dis- covers that the sex life of Amytis is in no sense complete. The dis- covery shows him the futility of glory; so Amytis spends a night in his tent. Rome, of course, is for the time being saved. Philip Merivale and Jane Cowl played the title parts in the popu- lar New York production. It was incisive, canny, sophisticated fun. The elements that make for attrac- tiveness are numerous: porno- graphic trifling, smart epigrams, naughty burlesque of history. The contemporary social criticism is obviously, hence pleasantly done: the Roman mouths roll Rotarian platitudes, which the perceiving Amytis promptly ridicules. All Sherwood's objections to contem- porary society are wittily expressed and because familiar, there is the added joy of recognition. The play is distinctly in the Shaw Caesar and Cleopatra tradition and prom- ises to be the most worthwhile thing Mimes has done this season, Those taking the major parts are Norman - Brown, George Priehs, Helen Carrm, and Kenneth White. o.

The knot into which the tangled mazes of Congressional red tape' and procedure have tied the cur- rent tariff bill has produced an- other situation adding materially to. the battering which this ill- conceived piece of . economic and fiscal quackery has.received at the' hands of its makers. While Sena- tor Smoot is "thinking of some- thing" to extricate. the measurej from the deadlock, the attitude ofI the country and press is changing from disgust and protest to amuse- ment. And this may be wholly justifi- able humor. Aside from the ludi- crous gestures of . despair which Senator Watson and the Senator from Utah are making, there re- mains the equally frantic effortI somehow to take care of the nui- sance which this bill has now be- come. Underneath the flourishes that both houses of Congress are making to induce each other to act are two alternative policies that might be used to save the Congres- sional face from the appearance of impotence at the hands of tech- nicalities. Leaders could resort to old practices or devise new ones to get the tariff measure out on the BUILDINGS in Which You Take Pride.
