thing that should have been done
several years. That is, to produce
a campus revue.
When the Mimes theater was
leased to Play Production, it was
predicted by many that the doom
of the organization had been seal-
ed. However, they have taken a
step, which, if taken several years
ago, would probably have kept the
Opera-that of localizing the whole
production. According to its an-
nouncement, all scenery, stage work,
direction and managing will be
done by students. And last but not
least, it will consist of skits and
short acts on campus matters, writ-
ten by students.
Alumni, when they go to student
productions of one kind or another,
like to be carried back to their col-
lege days. The highly specialized
nature of the Opera soon eliminat-
ed this feature of the show, and
gradually attendance at perfor-
mances dropped off until it was
necessary to do away with the
whole custom. Now, with new
blood in its veins, Mimes has a
chance to put on a show, which, if
it is a success, it is rumored De-
troit alumni will bring to Detroit
for a short run. However, we can
wait and hope that the organiza-
tion will not deceive our hopes, and
wil really put on a student show,
as was "Michigenda" in 1908.

TRADE REVIVAL
Following a business depression
which has lasted for more than ten
months, industrial leaders met re-
cently at Chicago and predicted
business on a big scale for the win-
ter and spring of 1930-31. Optim-
ism, such as has not featured any
previous meeting to solve the de-
pression enigma, was the keynote
of the Chicago conference.
Eight outstanding leaders in the
business world discussed the cur-
rent situation in their individual
lines of activity at the conference
held in Mandell hall under the aus-
pices of the Chicago Association of
Commerce and the Commercial and
Industrial clubs of Chicago. The
results were gratifying in the en-
tire sense of the word.
"Just why and how long will the
depression remain?" asked the
men of industry and business at
the Chicago conference. The busi-
ness cycle, which governs econo-
nictrend, tells us that we have hit
the bottom, experts told the con-
vention. Fifty-seven captains of in'-
dustry then discussed how they in-
tended to start the upward trend,
how they intended to disperse the
evils of unemployment, what they
proposed to do to move the rusting
wheels of machinery, unused since
liquidation of the tremendous sur-
plus of 1929 began last spring.
But most significant in the trade
revival congress was the promise
of eight leaders of major industries
to attempt to stem the tide of over-
production when business again
rises to the 1929 levels. The basis
for the recent drop was overproduc-
tion, they said, and it is this over-
productiondwhich they intend to
place under control. How they
could do it was the question. And
they answered that it was possible
to. forsee the market so that pro-
duction could be minimized to a
point where liquidation would no
CAMPUS AND CREED.
To the Editor:
I was personally pleased with
your tolerance in printing the
worthy F. W. G. Boesche Jr's re-
vealing analysis of the condition of
the university convocations. It
served as a long due catharsis to
clear up the Student Christian As-
sociation situation. Heretofore we
have learned of the opinions and
activities of t h a t organization
through merciful front page re-
porters, but at last we have a fair
sample of the "sweetness and light"
emanating from that body. The
president has spoken!
The student sage's versatile writ-
ing may be roughly classified as
analytical and suggestive. Under
the former he lightly flits into the
realm of history before his advent
at Michigan and emerges triumph-
ant with: "Prior to that time a
tradition seemed to exist to the
effect that to sacrifice the luxury
of one's Sunday slumbers . . . was
the thing to do . . . . Then, of a
sudden, the rumor squirmed about
that the order of the day was
thumbs down on Convocations.
Valiantly, they have since struggled
to survive the blight of student dis-
interestedness." Re ardless of what
one thinks of Mr. hoesch's mind
he must confess that his reasoning
is easy to follow. And to think it all
happened just like that! A naughty
"rumor squirmed about.' As an
enthusiastic proselyte of the master,
(may I, Mr. Boesche?) I suggest
that a de-rumorifier be installed
as a regular piece of equipment in
Lane Hall, possibly along side of
the famous freshman files, which
alone (in connection with Mr.
Boesche's "non - denominational"
student worship ideal) make it
possible that a. pledge's religious
faith be necessarily stylish with the
fraternity.
Mr. Boesche delves even deeper
into significant causes when he
startles us with: "They simply have
not been able to compete with the
alluring attractiveness of an eve-
ning at the 'Mich' or the 'Maj'."
Please permit my timid sugges-
tion, Mr. Boesche, that the S. C. A.
undertake to educate the students
on the chronology of a Sunday so
that they may be freed from the
satanic shackles of the illusion that
the hours of the theatres and con-
vocations coincide.
Mr. Boesche certainly isn't a
little man because of a consistency
buggaboo. He can say: "The scien-
tific scrutiny which religion has
undergone has only served to
strengthen rather than to weaken
it."
But Mr. Boesche reaches his
climax when he says: "The remedy
to the situation would be the ulti-
mate establishment of a student
chapel." Now if I may play prose-
lyte again, -- you students, whom
the master says have no interest
in religion, must curb your tend-
c'r "tn drift with fashiom of
Come on now, gents, let's settle1
down to some deep, serious thoughta
on a few timely and important sub-
jects. In the first place, what do
you honestly think about the foot-
ball admission fiesta that Uncle
Harry Tillotson The Time Tested
Ticket Thief puts on for his boon
companions of a Saturday? Myi
private opinion is that the Uni-
versity should call out a holiday
on Friday afternoon and let us see
the game first and then have it
re-played for the benefit of the
alien populace. I, personally, would
just as soon go out a second time
and furnish local atmosphere for
the boys on Saturday if they seem
to demand it. If that plan doesn't
appeal to you, how about writing
a few letters to good old Uncle
Harry and asking him about things.
When it gets to the point where I
am offered the chance to buy a
good ticket from a traveling sales-
man for ten dollars (an actual oc-
currence) I think it is high time
to do something,-perhaps buy the
ticket. Men of Michigan, defend
your birthright!
I really think that a good
heart to heart talk (accom-
lished by cuting his heart-if
any-out "and giving it a good
talking to) might accomplish
wonders.
Another thing about which I am
in deadly earnest is this matter of
the filled in funny face on Gargoyle.
I have had deputations by the score
(37-0, their favor) to tell me that
I was too flippant in my request,
and that if I didn't make itrknown
that I really meant business and
had an honest award waiting for
each and every one who sent in a
Gargoyle cover with the face filled
in, I'd have to take a free copy
myself. Another thing. The best
one sent in either to me or to the
Gargoyle office willtrun in the next
issue. (Now I have ruined the
works!)
In conjunction with The
Benevolent Brotherhood For
Kicking The Coeds Off Campus
the Pherret noticed something
the other day that looks very
hopeful for the cause. A lad
over in A.' H., being unable
single handed to accomplish
the full purpose of the league,
did the next best thing by fol-
lowing an unsuspecting lady-
pardon me - coed, down the
hall until she dropped her
book. He then, with laudable
vigor, kicked it so far down the
hall that I'll warrant she is
chasing it to this very day.

I have it on the best of authority
that this young hero is also a mem-
ber of the He Men's Club and The
Fewer Clothes On More Occasions
League. A fine fellow without
doubt.

Dear Dan:
I meant to write you sooner, but
Monday I lost the filling from one
of my teeth and did not find it till
yesterday while looking through
some old dance programs. As it was
a gold filling, a graduation present
from my father, you can imagine
my relief. I can just see that
chubby little face puckering all up
when you try to. Imagine some
more, Dan, the children seem to
like it.
The other day you broke down in
a gale of print and wondered about
the seal embedded in the main
entrance to the Library. Knowing
that with your lovable laziness,
nothing would ever come of the
probe you contemplated, I took the
matter into my own hands. Initia-
tive . . . . just part of my charm.
The Question - Don't you know
that that's a seal you're walking
on?
Bill Hewitt - Sure, but I'm too
tired to run . . . . and how would
you like a seal in the pan, friend?
Gurney Williams-By George, it
is! And I haven't a fish for either
one of you.
Senior Med.-Well, dope, put it
in the ceiling where it belongs.
Harry Newman - Pahdon me,
Massa Reportah, ah sure won't do
it again.
Biddy in a fur coat-Seal?-Sure,
don't you understand English?
-Yes indeedy, do you speak it?
Just then the whistle on the Bap-
tist Church rang and I went to
production of
Olympia.

A Review by Willaim J. Gorman.
Comedy Club opened the campus
theatrical season last night with
an interesting production of Ferenc
Molnar's Olympia. It wasn't a com-
pletely jolly evening. The produc-
tion never had enough certainty
for that. There were outstanding
flaws of taste and considerable
difficulties in catching tempos. In1
fact, the production had time and
scope enough to go from very bad
in the first act to very good in the
last act.
Only consistent excellence could
make a completely jolly evening
out of Molnar's thin, trivial fable
about the pride of an Austrian
Democrat. I agree with the Dean of
Radcliffe about the play.
But despite wavering, the pro-
duction was interesting because
two recognized student talents did
extremely well by themselves and
another one, which had taken a
year's rest, did likewise. These three
performances made the production
a more conspicuous success than
either of Comedy Club's disastrous
appearances last year.
Mary Powers, who did such splen-
did work here this summer, richly
spread histrionic butter on her
latest roll (the pun is from Comedy
Club's Credo on the program). Miss
Powers is a very shrewd actress.
Singularly patient with detail,
crowding all possible humour into
her technique, she radiates very
tangible, very fine comedy. Few
students are capable of the com-
pletely unself-conscious vocal and
visual abandonment that is one of
Miss Powers' best comic gifts. Her
temporary return visit was wel-
come indeed.
As a senile courtier, alternating
eloquence with patriotic tears,
Harry Allen gave a thin ripple of
acted humour that made the last
act excellent. Mr. Allen with inimit-
able ease does many things at once.
James Raymond's stiff reticence
about bodily movement (as far as
I could niake out he moved nothing
but his legs for three acts) suffered
rather badly from the contrast
with Harry Allen. Frankly, his
Kovacs was probably responsible
for most of the uncertainty in the
production. It was very dry, very
dull, and as I have suggested very
inactive. He was no more interest-
ing in the scenes of revenge when
he had the upper hand than as
the pleading lover: and his plead-
ing lover in the first act, paying
suit in very finely measured steps
up and down the room, was very
bad. The director can almost be
held responsible for this extreme of
preciseness and slowness. Zest,
speed, charm, resourcefulness in
the part of Kovacs would have
made the production eminent,
His inadequacy tended to obscure
the fact that Eugenie Chapel (a
prodigy as a freshman and now
fortunately returned to the local
boards) was doing extremely com-
petent work as Olympia. There was
quiet concentration in her approach
to the rather silly part. She was
trying to make it sombre and in-
tense enough to justify our inter-
est. She was continuously showing
enough feeling and enough desire
for rapid exciting scenes to have
made the whole production sub-
stantial high comedy. Meanwhile
Kovacs was being a very erect, un-
interesting military man with pride
I in his heart. Miss Chapel was very
fine.
The outstanding flaw in the pro-
duction was the bad taste some-
where which allowed Whitney Dix-
on to play an Austrian Constable in
Mack Senett style. Such trifling
humourous parts are common in
Molnar. When correctly and in-
telligently played they are delight-
ful vagaries on the surface of so-
cial comedy. When they are played
farcically in a piping oratorical
voice they let the play down badly.
The only pleasure is the malicious
one of watching thoroughly bad
acting. Again the director seems
to have been careless in permitting
