communities realize that their edu-

and it would also prevent students
from entering until they were pre-
pared for college work. This would
certainly be more advantageous
than to have them struggle throughn
their first two years obtaining less
than a C average, and at the end
of that time return home, blaming
themselves instead of their pre-

AMERICAN ARTISTS

Representative of many of the
current tendencies in American
art, the Exhibition of American.
paintings sponsored by the College
Art association, is interesting be-
causeof the directly opposing types
of work which it presents. Although
the current show exhibits many of
the works of the same artists that
were shown in the National exhibit
which recently closed in Detroit,
and although much of the work of
these same artists is of inferior
grade to that which was shown in
the Detroit show, this present ex-
hibtion gives a broader cross sec-
tion of the country's artistic en-
deavors.

THE WHITE ELEPHANT
Lo and behold, the Michiganen-
sian staff comes forth with a white
elephant!
Don't worry. frosh, the printer
just forgot to put on all the cover.
That will be taken care of next
year, however. All you have to do
'is wrap your book in tissue paper,
save it until next year and then
take it back to the 'Ensian office
to have it finished. It will -be done
absolutely free, which means a lot
if you are Scotch. You -are going
to get something for nothing. Of
course no one would dare intimate
that you got nothing for something
this time. Oh no! Because you really
didn't. Just look at what you got.
There is all of that beautiful can-
vas, white as a lily, and with the
green leaves, too. But who wants a
lily? That comes soon enough any-
Iway.

the University in that it

uidents who have not the

ifortunately, however, it

these qualifications, but
not had adequate high

plan that the University
ide can, without entrance
nts, eleminate this prob-]
And canvas, you know the poten-
tialities of canvas. In one city it
may be used for sailor's leggings,
or in another, made into oat bags
for horses. Or a Raphael may trans-
form its whole texture until it al-
most lives and breathes. How about
a couple of Raphaels stationedbout
on the diagonal to touch up the
covers a bit for the disppointed
students? Won't the money saved
on the cover pay for that, too? Or
just how much was saved in that
manner? If none, then methinks
the staff had a pretty fast one
pulled on it.BiBut then there is all
the work attadhed to the cover.
Canvas as a material would be
rather hard to work and the addi-
tion of a separate piece along the
back wouldn't simplify things. Be-
sides, the velvety just inside the
cover would try to creep and fold
up like an accordion even before it
was put on the books.
The printer can't receive all the
blame, however. It is the fault of
one of those 'Ensian tryouts who
always had a hankering for white
canvas, white canvas sails like his
grandpappy used to tell him about.
Some one is going to ride out the
stormy gale before the menory of
those grimy, dirty 'Ensians, though
once white, grows shady. like the
'Ensians themselves are growing
with a little handling.
You were lucky if yours wasn't
already soiled when the wrapper
was removed. There might be one
good use for all of that white, how-
ever; possibly in detective agencies
for recording finger prints. When a
record is made some clear lacquer
could be poured over it to preserve
the delicate lines.
That lacquer idea is really great.
Why can't each student march
down town and swap a couple of
dimes for a can of it, along with a
new brush, paint it carefully over
the sailor's leggings part of his
book and when it is dry carry it
home satisfied that he can wash it
off when it needs it. No fooling, that
would be great. Even so-called clea
lacquer would leave it tinged a
little, about the shade of an oil-
soaked cloth, no fear from oil here
of course. A little skill with colors
might result in something really
distinctive, not that it isn't already
distinctive you know, just like you
home telephone directory.
When you go home and set you
'Ensian up by the side of those yo
already have it is going to stand
out among the others all right
stand out about like a butcher's
supply catalog on -the shelf witl
Tolstoy's War and Peace, or A Mid-
summer Night's Dreaih. That drean
part is significant. It's a dream a
over the outside----a bad dream. No
let's make it a nightmare.
Once inside, the cenery is quite
changed. There are some things
about it for which the editors ar
An .almost academic savour ofc
the older schools stands in con-t
trast to a bold exposition of mere
mass molding, numerous innova-(
tions in original technique standa
out in opposition to the usual con- N
ventions of, expression. But in spitev
of this wide variance in the type1
of work represented, there is an
impressive and peculiar unity with-n
in the show brought about by ai
boldness of conception which isk
characteristic of all the artists rep-1
resented. Even the pieces whicha
are most completely saturated witht
imaginative interpretation, are ex-
ecuted with the same daringly con-
fident attack. Pictures which rep-
resent pure fantasy are delineated
with the same clear, cold realismr
as those which represent the actu-
ality of a still life subject.
Luigi Lgcioni's Anachronisms is
one of the most vivid expositions1
of form which has appeared in any,
of the exhibits held here this year.
It stands out as an exquisite crea-
tion of interwoven planes and vary-
ing surfaces. The artist's mastery
of texture distinction is remarka-
ble. A' modernistic stepped book
shelf with its highly veneered sur-
face, a vase, a bottle, and glass all
modelled to a perfect sense of
roundness, a small studio model
perched at a saucy angle before a
nude sketch -all of these things
are arranged in a completely uni-
fied composition. And not only
does the artist manage to repre-
sent the varying surface textures
with an unerring accuracy, but he
also developes these distinctions in
a very high pitch of color tone.
George Inness contributes Land-
scape, a canvass which reproduces
a rather vague and uncertain land-
scape into a vividly 'certain and
unified creation. .The peculia in-
terest of this canvass lies in the
clever focus of attention which the
artist fixes in the center of the pic-
ture, by a crescendo of color and
line emphasis. And he manages to
do this through a combination of
almost somber colors varying in
shade through all o the grey
greens to an accent of watery yel-
low. The .canvass is in harmony
with the man's tradition of the
romantic tendency.
Under the Cocoanut Tree by
Winslow Homer is an excellent ex-
ample of the artist's freedom of
brush work in the use of water
color medium. As usual he is de-
pendent for much of his appeal on
the choice of his subject matter,
in that much of the meaning of his
contribution is centered in the in-
terpretation of the scene repre-
sented rather than through any
pure abstraction of line and form
harmony. The wide brush strokes
with which he slashes out his pic-
tures creates a roundness which is
surprising in an artit who uses
color for modelling distinctions
rather than highlight contrast.
Foremost among them is Doris'
Rich, actress of many New York
>roductions, who is to play the
part of Clytaemnestra, Electra's
nother. Miss Rich's dramatic ex-
perience has ranged from an ap-
pearance in the first production of
"Broadway" to membership in the
Shakesperean repertory of E. H.
Sothern and Julia Marlowe. Re-
cently she has appeared with -Wal-
ter Hampden in his "Caponsacchi."
In the chorus of Theban women
led by the dancer Martha Graham
are such players as Dorothy Scott,
Vivienne Giesen and Anne Iin-
wood. Miss Scott has been the
leader of the chorus in the several
productions of "Electra" w h i ch
Margaret Anglin has done in Cal-
ifornia. Vivienne Giesen is best
known throughout the country for
her work as the Nun in "The Mir-
acle. Doris Dalton is a young ac-
tress who created great interest this
spring with her \performance of
Alethea in the recent revival of
Wycherley's "The Country Wife."

H. M. S. PINAFORE: or The Lass
That Loved A Sailor: a nautical
comic opera in two acts by W. S.
Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan: the
Rupert D'Oyly Carte Opera Com-
pany under the direction of Mal-
colm Sargent: the Victor Master-
piece Series.
Victor continues its issues of the
masterpieces of Light Opera ,,this
month vith H. M. S. Pinafore. This
particular operetta needs no com-
ment. The silliness of that marvel-
lous refrain "and so do his sisters
and his cousins and his aunts" all
agree is heaven-sent. There is no
more typical line in all Victorian
literature than when Buttercup,
tenderly solicitous for the Cap-
tain's woe says in cadenced recita-
tive: "Confide in me-fear not-
I am a mother!" Then there is a
typical Gilbertian stroke in the en-
gaging frankness with which Sir'
Joseph Porter tells the way to the
Admiralty. And so on. Sullivan, of
course, matched Gilbert at every
point with buoyant tunes,. gayly
catching the conversational inflec-
tions of the buoyant c escendoes of
rhymes and metrical funning. The
nautical operetta is joyously liber-
ating. The D'Oyly Carte perfor-
mance, as previously, is just about
flawless.
A garden isn't complete
without one.
We have a new and
complete line.

tatistics show that a large ma-

duates of the small high schools

Eugene Speicher appears too,
with a large canvass, Lydia at the
Table, which has the usual sense
of distinction between surfaces and
the suggestive understanding of the.
anatomy rf draped figures which is
characteristic of his work. But the
expression of the face veers over to
the caricaturistic interpretation of
a dreamy staring girl rather than
the usual sympathetic treatment.
Childe Hassam is represented by
a landscape oil of the sea which is
drenched in the characteristic Has-
sam sunlight effects, and has the
added interest of an unusual use of'
color variations. George Luks shows
another of his wistfully awkward
children in a large canvass, Danty.
Of those who are experimenting
with modes of expression is Edward
Bibermann who strikes out boldly
in single tones of only three pure
colors and build' in mass form a
nude figure that is significant more
for its abstraction of composition
than for its realistic interpretation.
