Good May Seefried MinniesSeng Helen Spencer Kathryn Stork Clare lngerh Mary Elizabeth Watts Night Editor-KARL SEIFFERT / TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1931 ILDCATS? VIDENTLY someone is trying to create the. -' impression that Michigan was afraid of North-' estern. Stories early yesterday morning in the etroit papers and in Chicago papers cited Field- g H. Yost as "holding out" on a Michigan- orthwestern game because he did not want it ayed at Soldier's Field. r Fortunately, Mr. Yost ent to Chicago with nothing else in his mind her than such a game, but he was outvoted, 6-4. orthwestern voted with the majority. The pairings, as far as Michigan charity is con- rned, were very unfortunately drawn. A Michi- n-Wisconsin game will draw very few people. Michigan-Northwestern game would have pack- any stadium obtainable, and this should have en considered when planning a game for sweet arity's sake. But apparently wiser heads thought at by splitting the two drawing cards, namely e Wolverines and the Wildcats, twice as many ople would buy tickets. This supposition is liculous on the face of it, and will be borne out the gate receipts next week. t Evidently charity was not such an important ctor in drawing up the schedules as many people ere led to believe. Mr. Yost, while voting for id publicly advocating a Northwestern game, as quoted as having refused to sanction such a ove, because he did not want the game to be ayed in Chicago. We quote from the Detroit ee Press and the Chicago Tribune: "Fielding H. ost, director of atheltics at Michigan, refused to nsider Soldier's Field." We quote Mr. Yost: 4ichigan voted against the schedule adopted, as e wanted to play Northwestern at Soldier's Field Chicago.'" Michigan's student body is sorely disappointed the result of the pairings. We doubt seriously hether the present schedule will prove as attract- e financially as the proposals of Mr. Yost and e minority. Yet there is one consolation. A >l conducted on the Wisconsin campus showed e students to be overwhelmingly in favor of a ine with Michigan. They, at least, are not afraid playing one of the leading teams in the Con- rence although they have been beaten twice. ichigan will be assured that a group of true >ortsmen wil invade the Wolverine campus on ovember 28th with the idea of a good football ame in mind. The gate receipts will not be as rge as the charity directors may have hoped for, it perhaps it will be a better football game.

A college may offer any number of subjects, but unless there is complete academic freedom, no claim can be made that there is real education. Let me illustrate by a few examples at random: History taught from'the patriotic or nationalist point of view is only a lop-. sided affair since it sets forth only praiseworthy fea- tures and omits the blameable ones in regard to each country. Likewise economics taught from one point of view only is most liable to lead to an incomplete understanding of the problems involved. Economics, like history, etc., being a most valuable subject for the training of the mind, should be taught from as many angles as possible, such as the capitalist and the socialist, the free trader and the protectionist, etc. It is only as these and practically all other branches of study are presented to the student from many sides, that he will become truly educated. Moreover, such a method is exceedingly valuable in keeping the learner's mind open to new ideas. Now if it happens that "the powers that be" compel teachers to present but one aspect of a given branch of study, they not only suppress academic freedom, but what is more, they keep the student from think- ing for himself about the comparative merits of the different viewpoints. In other words, they fail to give the student what he comes to college for, viz., education. What is true of the teacher, holds good for the student, The student should not bnly read on public questions of vital interest to all citizens, but, as a matter of course, enjoy complete freedom to write (both for and against, as the case may be) on all subjected without exception-short of advocating revolution and the overthrow of government. To claim that prohibition, the tariff, etc., are not campus problems is equivalent to saying that universities and life, for which latter the students are preparing, are wholly separate things, a view entirely disap- proved by the best thinkers of the day.

SCREEN REFLECTIINS AT THE MICHIGAN "Palmy Days" and Eddie Cantor bring to the Michigan the first entirely successful musical Oro- duction the screen has shown for the past two years, wth music as good as any of its type yet screened. With not only Cantor at his best as singer, come- dian, and dancer, but Charlotte Greenwood to make the play complete, "Palmy Days" is a whirl of chor uses-probably as good as any ever screened-and songs, slapstick, and action galore. Perhaps the best exhibition of judgment displayed by the direction staff is the exclusion of any of the superfluous love interest so characteristic of the old school of screen musicals. Although Paul Page and Barbara Weeks exhibit to some degree the soft-lights heavy-sighs complex, the situations are few enough to be satisfactory. ,Charles Middleton does very good work as a crim- inally inclined mystic, with Eddie Cantor as the un- willing understudy, who spends the greater part of the picture as a fugitive from the wrath of his erst-' while master., AT THE MAJESTIC. Because it's photographed .perfectly, and because' Elissa I,andi and Lionel Barrymore are just about the acme of the present motion picture scale, "The Yellow Ticket" is a corking good show. The story is fairly well put together, but it's trite in so many. places that only a grand handling by Fox saves it from becoming just another show. The theme concerns a Jewish girl in Russia (dur- ing the hectic days of the Czar and the Cossacks, 1913 if you can't remember) whose father is dying in a St. Petersburg prison and who is forced to pro- cure a 'yellow ticket' o get transportation thence because nasty Mr. Barrymore has issued an edict prohibiting the coming and going of Russian Jews. This yellow ticket is a permanent passport-any- where in Russia-because it signifies that the bearer isn't much of a lady, i.e.-des avenues. Well, once she has this ticket (although we are assured thrice that she is still very much of a lady) she must be placed in a class with some rather harsh looking females who don't knock before entering a man's room. This proves to become embarrassing when Miss Landi falls in love with a young British reporter who is covering the Russian situation from the 'in- side'. He gets "this 'inside' information from her eventually and then... . but you must -see the pic- ture to find out. When he meets her, just by chance on a railway car, he tells her he's representing the Consolidated press and he's just a poor reporter. Which is re- dundant. Barrymore is perfect, as usual; and Miss Landi comes into her publicized own. See it. And notice the photography; Fox scores again. B plus. R.-L.-T.

Music & Drama THE BLUEBIRD A Review by Jerry E. Rosenthal The much-talked of Yascha Yu- shny's Russian Revue, "The Blue- bird" (which, by the way is no re- lation to the play by Maeterlink) came to Ann Arbor Saturday night and presented what is probably one of the most entertaining pieces any visiting troupe has even offer- ed to local patrons. It is not- a pretentious thing. There are no gorgeous girls, won- derful original tunes (those bor- rowed from the masters excepted), brilliant acting or extraordinary singing in it, in fact if one tried to take it in a serious wayat all, he would think it quite bad. "The Bluebird," however, is not meant for serious people. It is a fare for entertainment, for fun, and in that capacity it succeeded exceedingly well. Mr. Yushny did not try to im- press his wonderful showmanship nor any genius in presenting awe- inspiring scenes. Intead he pre- sented a revue which was whole- some, natural and healthy. By that, I mean he has woven into his production a theme of fun of comedy, not a forced attempt to make people laugh-a spontaneous, abstract something that keeps one always in a good humor and never in a state of tension or suspense. I have already said that there are no gorgeous girls in the show, unless one can call buxom typically Russian women beautiful, but they are pleasing and natural. In fact, everyone in the revue gives'the ap- pearance of having a lot of fun and the refult, naturally, is the same reaction on the part of the audi- ence. The songs are nothing to write reviews about, but they are lively and entirely in keeping with the whole atmosphere. True, when one reads the libretto, he thinks that many of the tunes smack of vul- garity but they are far more clever than naughty.' The singing as a whole was not too good. Many times, the chorus sounded a trifle off-key and several soloists could never get their names in the lights as prima donnas but, nevertheless, J. Jaroff, a basso, who, in "The Evening Bells" represented a monk, impressed his audience with more than a little ability. The scenes themselves were very simple. The one really serious epi- sode, that of a portrayal of "The Volga Boatman" was decidedly im- pressive and it was with difficulty that 'one could not keep himself from feeling that he, too, was lab- oriously pulling and tugging at an invisible boat. "With the Gypsies" an episode which fairly made one thrill at the gayety and spirit pre- sented, offered some good danc- ing on the parts of Mlle. Lelik and M. Orlik who gave another exhibi- tion of their skill in an earlier scene, "The Dance of the Boyars." To attempt a description of all scenes is an impossible task, since there are 15 of them. To say which one impressed one the most is an- other impossibility for they were all good. One cannot say that he liked "The Bluebird Museum" bet- ter than "Gossip Around the Sam- ovar" nor can one say that "Thp Hurdy-Gurdy" was a more mirtl ' provoking skit than "The Washer- women."

It is inconceivable, moreover to write a review of "The Bluebird" without mentioning the part Yu- shny plays in it. Before every scene one sees his naturally comic face and hears him explain in what is probably theworld's worst Eng- lish what the n e x t scene is all about. To him goes the credit of putting the audience in the proper receptive mood for it was never without a spontaneous and noisy burst of laughter that he left the stage after announcing the coming scene. His stories, gestures and macerations of the language are perfect humor. If Mr. Yushly wish- ed to, and he probably does not, he could go on the stage himself and become a truly acceptable comed- ian. For Call and Delivery Service t iC F nE .
