Supervisors
For The Frosh' Frolic
1-HE members of the Student Council are en-
1dowed with more intelligence than one is apt
to cr dit to politicians. Their conduct so far this
year has been exemplary, with a fewr exceptions.
But perhaps the greatest stroke of genius was the
recent appointment of three of its members as
"advisors"' for the frosh frolic.'
Not so long aigo, the student government rep-
resentatives wisely voted clown their own motion1
that mempbers of the Council be given free tickets
to the class dances.- Whether or not they deser've
such complimentary ducats for services rendered
is a debatable point. Nevertheless, they refused
to vote themselves this privilege, the oly one they
bave demanded since they used to get free watch
charms, and evidently the peop'l's representatives
were not to receive any sort of reu~neration in
return for services rendered the student body other
than the glory and self-satisfaction of the position.
This latest move, however, offers an excellent,
opportunity for the councillors to circumvent 'their'
own virtuous position. Three of the loyal mem-
bers will probably be a-ble to attend, free of charge,
the Frosh Frolic. By diligent rotation of appoint-
ments, there will be six monre men who scan 'attend
the J-H--op and the' Senior Ball. Appontments of
the remaining members to either su~b-cornmittees,
or other parties- will give the Council its full-quota
of free passes.
Far be it from us to condemn such procedure.
Such ingenuity should be rewarded. It, presages
a profitable future for its inventor.
The newly-inaug'urated Mayor of Toledo, as ar,
economty mcasure, fired 129 'officials the clay- lie too:k
offic e. If be is at all like his fellow politicians, he
will., in the interests of c ff iciency. replace thlemn with
1,3 0 new m: e carcfully cho e-n by himself.
I amn enclosing a letter by Professor Einstein, ad-
dressed to American students, which I believe would
'be of interest to all Michigan students:
I address myself to you, the delegates of the. War
Resisters' International, me-eting in Conference at
Lyons, ibecause you represent the movement most
certain to end war. If you act wisely and courageous-
ly, you can become the most effective, body of men
and womnen in the greatest of all human endeavors.
Those you represent in fifty-six countries have a
potential power far mightier than the sword.
-All the nations of the world are talking about
:Dsarmament. You must lead them to do more than
talk~. The people must take this matter out of the
hands of statesmen .and diplomats. They must grip
it in their own hands.
Those who think that the danger of war is past
are living in a fool's paradise. We have to face today
a militarism far more powerful and destructive than
the militarism which brought the disaster of the
Great War. I
This is the achievemnent of Governments. But
~among the peoples the idea of 'war resistance spreads.
You must challengingly and fearl-essly extend this]
idea. You. must lead the peop'le to take disarmamenti
into their own hands and to declare 'that they will
take no part or lot in war or in the "prepa'ration of
war. You must call upon the workers of all coun-
tries unitedly to refuise to become the tool of' death-
'dealing interests. 'There .are yo-ung men in twelve
countries who are resisting 'conscription by refusal
to do military service. They are the < pioneers of .a
warless world. Every Since-re friend of peace must

DRAMA
THE BEGGAR'S OPERA
A Review By G. R. Reich
SIt seems that some of our' uni-
versity theatre-goers expected to
see a musical comedy at- the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre last night.
Perhaps it was due to this fact
that the comment "fair" was over-
heard by this reviewer while leav-
ing the theatre. It is unfortunate
that Sir Nigel Playfair did not sea
fit to have the bulk of the original
cast :accompany his road show.
Then there would have been mre
than four characters in the taver
scene, and more than three or four
characters in the gambling house
scene. Color would have been add-
ed, and the huge tableau eects of
the twentieth century musical show
would have been attained to the
satisf action of our more sophisticat-
ed theatre-goers. Also, it is unfortu-
nate that sets like those used in
the 1920 revival at the Lyric Thea-
tre in London could not be model-
ed in the road show. This, too,
would have added color. But, be-
cause of these curtailments, obvi-
ously designed entirely for the pur-
poses of-economy, last night's per-
formance of Gay's satire by no
means deserves the epithet "fair."
The vogue of Italian opera in
18th century England bears the
foremost brunt of Gay's satire. The
florid method of Italian recitative
is employed in the singing of simple
lyrics, and all the artificial man-
nerisms of an Italian prima donna
are b r oa d 1 y burlesqued. Elsie
French, in the role of Mrs. Pea-
chumn, carried her singing-fainting-
drunk scene off with vigorous gusto
and spice. She caught best the pro-
per spirit -of parody.
John Mott as highwaymnan-cap-
tain Macheath was a charming
dissembler. His voice was admir-
ably adapted to the singing of a
role whic-h calls for so many ra-
pid shiftings of pace and dynamic
shadings. The much-heralded Syl-
via Nelis was adequate in the part
of the immortal Polly, but she can
hardly be termed a great vocalist.
Her acting was finessed, her man-
ner delightful, and the spirit with
which she approached her role of
'tragic" heroine was an excellent
ttempt to recapture the eigh-
eenth century approach. Her thin
oice was well-suited to the dram-
tic lines, but the inherent sweet-
tess of her singing voice lacked a
certain :carrying' force. Her perfor-
nance last night is to be highly
;ommended, however not in the su-
erlative sense of the word, but
,ather in light of the fact that hers
was the most difficult role.
Charles Magrath and Gwilyin Wil-
iams did exceptionally well; Mr.
Vtagrath is a fine actor, and Mr.
Williams impressed this reviewer as_
aving the best singing voice of the
vening. Vera Hurst deserves praise
'or her general prowess as an actor,
ut her portrayal of Lucy Lockit
as too serious. It seemed to lack
;hat very spirit of burlesque which
;he other two women characters
o admirable possessed.
The period in which Gay lived
Lnd wrote was an age of lawless-
ess and vigorous living. Govern-
nent and justice were in the hands
)f unscrupulous politicians and men
ho would prostitute justice at the'
pound df jingling coins. Gay pokes ,
ii5 satire at the fobles and croked-
less of eigh'teenth century Eng-
ish courts. Peachum is a remote
caricature of Walpa~e. Gay mocks
norals and marriag. He sidesf-
uith Addison in ranging his invec-
ive against the Italian opera vogue
which Handel was championing in
England at the time. (Addison had
Seen unsuccessful in his attempt-
it Italian opera.) And he takes
urrent English ballads at random.
ind utilizes them as a vehicle for
pis satire.
Much of this satire goes over t1-i
Leads of twentieth century audi-
nices. But the vitality and spici--
Less of the work has remained'
fresh anq~ appealing for two hun-:'
.red years because of the univer-
sality of the satiric spirit, and be-'
ause of twentieth century analo-
:ies of the institutions which are
poked fun at.
