(which was only one set) was good; the lighting
mediocre; the direction was average and the acting,
as a whole, was fair. Acting, seen analytically, di-
vides a play into those having the leads and those
supporting artists filling up the cast. A strong and
impressive leading character often pulls the acting
up to a high stage purely by his own talents, bal-
ancing a mediocre suporting cast while a good
suporting cast can elevate the value of the acting
by balancing a weak lead.
y There are two leading characters in this piece
but it rested upon the shoulders of one to raise the
acting ability of the whole. That one was Paul
Wermer, who, as Prince Sirki (Death in disguise)
really portrayed that character with most of the!
WE CAN HARDLY
WAIT FOR THIS
WEEK-END
Every year about this time there
comes a week-end when highschool
girls from all over the state came
to Ann Arbor to look the place over.
We have appointed a staff of spe-
cial reporters for the occasion, and
by Sunday we should have a lot of
prize stories about the highschool
girls.

Yesterday we celebrated the
Sholi day from eleven o'clock
I classes by going to the Honors
Convocation in Hill Auditorium.
We went only because we want-
ed to see Artie Cross in his Ox-
ford robes. He was on the plat-
form but all he did was read
his program. He 'didn't laugh
at any of the jokes and he only
looked up once. It must be the
weather.
Spring weather is having a salu-
tary effect upon the campus build-
ings. The Romance Language Build-
ing is developing a swell set of
freckles on its turret and Angell'
Hall has a lot of sweat on its brow.
We hate to think of what might
happen to the Economics Building.
Some day we are going over there-
,and look around.
THE PRIVATE LIFE OF
DR. RUTHVEN
Lookit!
The Rolls photographer was sent
out to get a picture of Dr. Ruthven
in an every-day attitude, so that'
the students might get an idea of
our president's human side, and
here is what he got. This is a pic-
ture of Dr. Ruthven and a couple of
other fellows leaving the Union
Tap-room. Left to right: Dr. Ruth-
ven and a couple of other fellows.
Our good professors are near-
ly frantic trying to teach class-
es while the visiting school
teachers dash in and out from
one class to another. One might
think that a bunch of people
who specialize in teaching would
realize how hard it is to teach
a class with people getting up
leaving right in the middle of
it. lHmp!*

ALTER LIPPMANN, following the recent
W defeat of Franklin Roosevelt in the Massa-
chusetts presidential primary and the practically
inconsequential victory of the New York governor
in Pennsylvania, stated in his column "Today and
Tomorrow" that the Democratic convention which
meets in June at Chicago will do well not to
nominate either Roosevelt or Smith.
To name either of these candidates would
prove more a handicap for the party than to select
a nonentity. Roosevelt is popular 'in the West
where he has not been so well known while in
the East where his policies and accomplishnents
are more than a little familiar he has met with
surprising opposition. Lippmann points out that
the Massachusetts defeat amply illustrates the fact
that the industrial and thickly populated East,
where Roosevelt is best known, does not want
him and would prefer someone else.
The Democratic party is a party of extremes,
it is a party which includes the most bigoted
reactionaries and rabid liberals; the dryest drys
and the wettest wets are contained within its fold
and to pick a presidential candidate who can satis-
fy all elements and receive their support is always
a delicate task. Roosevelt is a man who will prove
desirable to the West, which agrees with the
governor's talk on helping the struggling masses
while in the East, where his actions have spoken
louder than his verbal enunciations, he is not so
desirable. Smith, on the other hand, because of
various influences is only satisfactory to the great
metropolitan centers but curiously not desirable
to the industrialists nor the agricultural interests.
We agree with Mr. Lippmann in saying that
if the Democratic party is to win the election in
November, which it can do, it must not nominate
either man from New York. Such an. action would
only be another one of the notorious mistakes of
the Democrats when they might choose a man
like Newton D. Baker.

DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY
A ReviewI
by Jerry E. Rosenthal
When the Hillel players took it upon thmselves
two years ago to put on "Caponsacchi," a precedent
involving the production of unordinary works, which
include depth and a high degree of sympathy lack-
ing in most modern pieces, was established. In
keeping with this tradition the players last night
presented Cassello's intense fantasy to a crowded
Laboratory theatro with more than mediocre success.
To put on "Death Takes a Holiday" excellently
an excellent cast is an absolute necessity; to put
it on fairly well, a fair cast is required and to give
it poorly, it is not hard to surmise that a poor cast
can only do it this way. The aforementioned state-
ment is neither as obvious nor as general as it4
appears on the surface. The general run of modern
plays can be and are presented successfully (if any
are successful these days) with no more than medi-
ocre casts. Plays better than the general run require
more skilled players and unless these are supplied
the nlo is not sucessfu1 Ca1ssll's nlav is better I
