(Though I hope some day to dem-

the proposition that chamber mu-

without concession even to those

Since this is a review I will not
say much about the terms, (1) "in-"

The most important part of the program, how- day's performances frequently left

Modern music is not thought of seriously by older eustice in the treatment of these

And here is a chance to get even
with Ruth Stesel. We were pretty
mean about her performance in
Anthony and Anna, but we can
honestly say she made up for it as
the J-Hop Chairman She was the
only dancer in the whole show who
had anything like a spontaneous
abandon, and saved the J-Hop
scenes from being a dismal attemp
at gayety.
It is too bad that Mary Phil-
lips got hold of such a weepy
role. She was on the stage
about three-fourths of the en-
tire show and only about twice
did she get a chance to release
her smile, which the advance
photography had led us to be-
lieve would be pretty nice. Ex-
cept for a few tense moments
when she turns cart-wheels she
does pretty well, even if she is
a red-head.
(Footnote: We are afraid of red-
heads). And as for the leading man,
and all the other men, we are too
much prejudiced against women in
trousers to make any statements.

Last night we had the pleasure
of meeting Judge Robert Toms of
the Detroit Circuit Court, and in a
moment of braggadccio we admitted
casually that we had written two of
the songs for the Junior Girls' Play.
Imagine our embarrassment when
the Judge admitted just as casually
that he had written all the songs,
in fact the entire Junior Girls'
Play in 1910. In those days, so we
understand, the Junior Girls' Play
was a deep and mysterious affair
and no men were admitted. Facul-
ty members begged for a job shift-
ing scenery just to see what it was
all about. The Play was presented
only once, to the Senior women,
and could have been presented be-
fore the Archbishop of Canterbury
without embarrassment to anyone.
One of Judge Toms' scngs, "You've
Got to Like Ann Arbor," (or some-
thing like that, we didn't quite get
the title), is now incorporated in
the blue book of Michigan Songs,
which today decorates the piano
bench of nearly every house on the
campus.
