collegiate circles to bring members of different faiths
and different races closer together was the recent
formation of an Inter-Faith Council at New York
University, to promote closer cooperation among Jew-
ish, Protestant, and Catholic student religious organ-
izations. The council was established by represent-
atives of each religious sect.
Perhaps this action is sort of an indicator point-
ing to the fact that religious differences are of far
less importance than is generally conceded by the
averageArun of contemporary bigots. Religious intol-
emnce is one of the most futile, and yet one of the
most prevalent attitudes which characterize the hu-
man species. The average man, although he may be
ever so firm in his religious convictions, follows a
particular creed chiefly because he was reared in a
family of the same or similar religious beliefs. Which
is right? Each group has evidence to support its
contentions, and each believes in the teachings to
which it adheres just as ardently as does the other.
Rather than holding themselves aloof because of
situations of which they are really not in control,
New York- students have done a wise thing in band-
ing together for the good of the entirety. The gesture
will not only boom tolerance, of which there is re-
markably little despite the fact that all races pride
themselves on it, but its cultural and educational ad-
vantages are many.
There is a great deal that is good and desirable in
every creed. This amalgamation, without the sacri-
fice of personal beliefs and individual practices, will
do a great deal toward a more thorough and complete
understanding among students, and even peoples, if
carried out on a more extensive basis. None of us
are .so perfect that segregation from our contempor-
aries will help maintain any self-styled perfection we
may harbor.y

AT THE MICHIGAN
A picture without even one poorly played part is
such an extremely unusual experience that "Strictly
Dishonorable," in which Paul Lukas, . Sidney Fox,
Lewis Stone, George Meeker, William Ricciardi, and
Sidney Toler all do capital performances, automatic-
ally comes under the head of first-class entertain-
ment even without the story that kept this show on
Broadway for an exceptional run.
Although the cast is not listed as "All-Star" and
the actors, with the exception of Lukas and Stone,
are virtually unknown, there is a greater gross total
of talent in this show than in any three average pro-
ductions. The story of the little southern gal who
comes north to find happiness with the boy from
Jersey and finally gets it with the man-of-the-world
opera star is well known. --K. S.

THE DETROIT SYMPHONY
A Review by William J. Gorman
Rudolph Siegel chose to make his
Ann Arbor debut in a popular pro-
gram-a program in which the is-
ue would be not so much the qua-
ity of his sensibility as the extent
of his virtuosity. This type of de-
cision-so frequently made by guest
conductors-seems unfortunate. A
guest can hardly be expected to at -
tain to the knowledge of and con-
trol over the Detroit Symphony
that Mr. Gabrilowitsch has worked
so long for. Yet these are the con-
ditions of virtuosity. Without them,
there doesn't seem much validity in
playing, Berlioz' extravagantly ro-
mantic episode in the life of an
artist who was so smitten with an
Irish 'Juliet' playing at-the Odeon
that he chokingly confessed to a
friend: "An iron hand clutches my
heart; I am lost." One doesn't
have to be a very subtle conductor
to correctly apprehend the nature
and meaning of all the romantic
paraphernalia of the B e r 1 ioz-
Smithson affair: dreams and pois-
onous passions, the glory and tu-.
mult of the ball, escape into pas-
toral simplicity, horrors of the scaf-
fold, and Walpurgisnacht. One does
have to be as magnificent a virtu-
oso of the orchestra as, say, Mr.
Koussevitsky, to really project this
romantic drama as it should be:
with full justice done and full cer-
tainty given to the very brilliant
orchestral writing.,
The reaction of the audience was
judgment enough. It would have
gobbled up a reading by Mr. Kous-
sevitsky. It was for the most part
indifferent to Mr. Siegel's. Being
guest conductor, his performance
o it was nearly destined to be med-,
iocre. It was. One had difficulty in
surviving the third movement. "In
the Fields." It is rather too long
anyway. But Mr. Siegel had faith
in its lyricism and took it very
slowly indeed. He was not able to
command enough fervour and body
from the strings to justify this
faith; and the movement several
times threatened to fall to pieces.
The reading of the first movement
seemed too warm and sentimental,
not foreboding enough. Berlioz's
program note reads: "A young
musician of morbid sensibility and
ardent imagination poisons him-
self with opum in a fit of amorous
despair." The young musician's
ireams, and passions were not read
with enough poison. The other
t h r e e movements - well-written
program pieces - came from Mr.
Siegel's hand with a certain degree
of power and certainty. Mr. Ga-
brilowitsch would undoubtedly play
them better, however. The obvious
point folldws, them: since Mr. Sie-
gel is a German large-village con-
ductor, we would have been more
interested in his thinking about
anyone of the Brahm's scores (with
allowance made for technical un-
certainty) than in his medicare
performance of a score which tends
to collapse if there is any techni-
cal uncertainty.
The latter half of the program
had two conductor-proof pieces.
;Til Eulienspiegel" is p e r h a p s
Strauss' best score. It is a swift
drama, not pausing too much on
any incident, set forth, as Debussy
said of it, "with prodigious surety
of orchestration." The reading was
good, the only uncertainty com-
ing in the transitions from one
rhythm to the next (one event to
the next).
Despite all the exploitation of it
in the past year, Ravel's excellent
trick has held up pretty well. Even
Sin the clumsy, not 4t all sharp or
precise, reading given it last night,
. it makes the majority of us nervous
and fidgety-which'is all it wants
_to do. Even if the thrill of the cres-
cendo has worn off, it is still a mar-
vellous textbook on instrumenta-
Ption.

THE COLLEGE MYTH T
(Indiana Daily Student)1
"The college student is in a class by himself so
ar as popular portrayal goes. He is characterized as1
a more or less indolent individual, but he is immense-
y popular with the American public," says a con-
emporary, speaking editorially, and the same writer
continues by advising college students to preservel
he illusion.
The college student no doubt is popular with the
eneral public-but it is the sort of superior interest;
which a crowd shows in a circus clown. College stu-
dents are all very well as long as their escapades
furnish a slightly salty tang for the conversation
over the tea cups. But when it is suggested that one
:ome into closer touch with them-well, the public
gets just a bit panic-stricken.
Such, at least, has been the public's attitude
toward college students in the past. And when the
same students went out to apply for jobs and places
of responsibility, the employer all too often remem-
bered specimens of crooning whoopee boys he had
seen on the screen and read about in books. As a
result the college student did not get the job.
Tt is all very well for the colleges to renresent that
that the present men of that institution ask for beer
whereas the other states that beer-not hard liquor-
is the beverage the students want. The final letter
by the gentleman who favors beer reads as follows:
"The Yale men that I know do not need the Cannons
McBrides, Andersons, or any of the prohibition rac-
keteers, to instruct them as to their manner of con-
duct."
As a matter of fact it seems that the drys ar
better qrganized than the wets especially since the
archbishop James Cannon, Jr., is a shrewd politician
However, "his Grace has so many +private troubles
chiefly due to his weakness for games of chance, that
his attention is divided, and the full horsepower of
.his talent cannot be brought to bear upon his job. Th(

would be quite easy, given competent wet leadership
to set them into fatal tailspins. They were sent dowx

I subjoin an opinion on the subject from the
American Mercury, February, 1932: "As Abrahar
Lincoln long ago observed, a country cannot be ha
free and half slave. What is needed is a liberatio:
that will liberate every citizen of the Republic, wheth

to be compromised with. Every honest wet believe
that it is the latter. Ergo, he cannot in decenv hu

GUEST ORGANIST
Dr. Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Professor
of Composition at the Leipzig Con-
servatory of Music, will appear as
guest organist at the regular Twi-
light Recitals, Wednesday after-
noon, January 27, at 4:15 o'clock
in Hill Auditorium, taking the place
of Palmer Christian.
For more than twenty years the
name of this distinguished com-
poser has appeared with increas-
ing frequency on recital programs,
everywhere and now his works are
perhaps more frequently played by
organists than those of any other
contemporary composer. The pro-
gram follows:
Suite Bretonique (F sharp minor)
