Music and Drama THE WAY OF THE WORLD, W HAT is probably the best comedy of manners, a completely unmoral and delightful play about1 the people who in all time considered themselves" the wisest and the wittiest is the next play in Mr. Henderson's Dramatic season. This play is of course1 "The Way of the World," by Congreve. It will be thel fourth play of the season, "Electra," "The Father," and "Caprice' having already been played. "The Way of the World" was first played in 1700 very much in fashion and very muh enjoyed by the masked ladies and their partners. It is the perfect description of a period which is perhaps analogous with our own, the "way of the world" being the curious and sometimes popular philosophy of getting what one can without paying too much for it. The people in it are thoroughly convinced that they are right.I There exists at present still in some quarters the curious turn of morality which led to sentimentalism in England, which condemned the "Way of the World;" In fact New York critics, who are supposed to be somewhat cynical about such things, rather foolishly complained about the lack of sentiment in the play. Be it said that "The Way of the World" is not romantic (in that perhaps it does not find its counterpart on the modern stage), but it is delightful theatre, entirely adequate in itself. The real-wit and hero, the believer in "the restor- ation way of the world," Mirabell, is played by Rey- nolds Evans. Opposite him in the part of Millament is Blanche Yurka. Ernest Cossart plays the part of the ridiculed but good-natured country relative on his way abroad, who takes off his boots in the draw- ing room, half-brother to the would-be-wit; he plays Sir Wilfull Witwood, the part he has just played in the Players Club revival in New York. After "The Way of the World," Bernard Shaw's play of the Swiss soldier among the ridiculous Bavarians, "Arms and the Man," will be seen. "Arms and the Man" is possibly the most delicious satire on the military hero we know. One of the characters tells the story of a charge he made on the Switzers, waving his sword into the teeth of the enemy. The enemy, the Swiss are quite bored. They would have shot him despite all his shouting and arm-waving, if their war department had sent them bullets which fit their rifles. Violet Heming, Tom Powers and Ernest Cossart will play the leading parts in it. At the Saturday matinee and night, June 20, Noel Coward's "Private Lives" will open for its first pro- duction outside of New York and London. Tom Powers and Violet Heming will be starred. "Private Lives" is that inimitable and popular comedy (it will be still playing to "standing-room only" at the Selwyn theatre in New York on June 20) in which Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward be- came very famous by lying on a couch together, feet in each other's arms, smoking cigarettes during a whole scene. Of course there is also dialogue. THE MICHIGAN REPERTORY PLAYERS y ESTERDAY the arrangement of plans for the third season of the Michigan Reportory Players was announced by Mr. Valentine B. Windt, director of the season. .The Players is an organization of NIGHT EDITOR-JERRY ROSENTHAL SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1931 - Will The Deferred Rushing System Work? JPPERMOST in the minds of most fraternity men on leaving school will be the thought of next year's rushing-the number of men to be pledged and the methods by which to do it. And naturally, the regulations of the Interfraternity' Council in regard to deferred rushing will be read by many for the first time. Although we hold no brief for the present sys-' tem, as detailed in a rather explicit manner by the Constitution of the Council, we recognize that the' system will at least be in force next year, and hence the cooperation of all fraternities will be necessary, in order to give the new order a fair trial. Any slight hint as to violation by one house will cause, many others to do the same, and the rules will fall as quickly as they were made. For this reason, it is vital that every fraternity on the campus obey the regulations to the very letter, as any deviation from the proper course will probably result in an even more cut-throat rushing season than existed under last year's methods. For this reason, we take this opportunity to announce a policy of cooperation to the fullest ex- tent with the Interfraternity Council in the en- forcement of the rushing regulations. Complete publicity will be given to all violations of the rules, with respect to the individuals as well as the organizations concerned. This is the only manner in which underhand rushing tactics can be com- batted, and we will welcome every opportunity to assist the Council in its work. IATD ROLL BAD LUCK TOMORROW MORE THURSDAY We don't Know wust what to do' about this chain letter business. We have it all figured out that the bad luck tomorrow is the fact that the Daily won't be published on that day, nor on any other day this year, because this is the last Daily of the year.. Next Thursday our exams will all be over with. Where'is any bad luck there? We are in- clined to hoot at the whole'bus- iness and say it is all a nasty frameup. Somebody is just try- ing to intimidate us, that's what. Our Yankee greed was all whet- ted up at the prospect of getting twenty-five dollars reward for the location of the DKE chapel gates. We went around there but there isn't anything left but half of the hinges and a tombstone labelled "Abe." There weren't any foot- prints around so there isn't any way of finding out where the gates are. Its a shame, thats what it is. Such depredations are to be de- plored. Haw haw. * * * SOMEBODY IS SORE! Dear Smiley: The question in my mind is why have they discontinued furnishing soap to the "almost athletes" at the Intramural building? You know cleanli- ness is next to Godliness and no soap means that the stu- dents will be way below Godli- ness. Oh do something, or else. I am not yours, NERTZ Listen here Nertz, I wouldn't want you for a valentine, not that way, anyway, and furthermore you can get a cake of soap for a pence, and even if you haven't got a pence if you would look around on the floor you could find any num- ber of soap. Its time to go down and clean out your locker and go home, anyway. This is a farewell column and it can't be messed up with any sentimental soap stuff. We had to laugh a bit at the poor old newspaper boys about that Do-X affair. All the pa- pers in the country carried ban- ner stories about how the Do-X was drowned at sea, when all the time the Do-X was sailing sturdily on tc "\!azil or some- where. Its a fine world... * * * We are getting pretty sore at the Note Editor of this paper. Such a person always putting in wisecracks about the column any place he sees ( occasion to is a demoralizing in- fluence on the Editorial Staff. To- night this column is going to press without an Editor's Note or we'll jolly well know the reason why not. (Editor's Note: Oh it will, will it?) * * * Examinations are apt to be.- come boring if you don't watch out, and not only to the in- structor but boring to you. per- haps the insertion of a few wise cracks into the blue-book would cheer things up and con- vince the instructor that you are a fine fellow after-all. * * * The way newspaper people write stories is positively i r r i t a t i n g Yesterday they told all about how Private Osborne got up in the air, opened his parachute too soon, and how the "big white skirt" of the parachute "flew backward catch- ing in the tail assemblage, and on- ly then did Private Osborne decide to bail out." Here the story ends, w i t h private Osborne dangling from the end of the plane. The story tells us however that Private Osborne finally ended up safely; how, nobody seems to know. Any- one who knows how Private Os- borne got out of the air should spend the rest of the week mak- ing announcements to the anxious world. its about time to make a fare- well gesture, and whlat could be more appropri- ate than to wish you all the hard l u ck in th e -. .world, and hope that you r e a d things as bad as this all summer.
