'Jeffrey Karr' In Ann Arbor; Is
Ready For Work On Barry Play
By Brackley Shaw
In Scotland it's "Kare," but in
England it should be pronounced,
according to Geoffrey Kerr, whol
ought to know if anyone should,I
"Jeffrey Karr." Not under any cir-
cumstances is it "Jee-offrey Kurr."
The only explanation that Mr. Kerr
(remember, Karr) can give for this
is the fact that in England "clerk"
is pronounced "clark."
Mr. Kerr arrived in Ann Arbor
Sunday to begin the rehearsals for
"The Animal Kingdom" by Philip
Barry, which is to appear as the
next feature on the program pf the
Dramatic festival. "The Animal
Kingdom" is still one of the leading
attractions of the New York sea-
son.
Mr. Kerr was bon in England
a n d attended
C h arterhouse,
one of pthe bet-
ter known of
the English
public schools.
He tells. of an
a m us ing ex-
p e r i en'c ehe
had there. A
school c o m-
pany put on a
play that was
w r it ten, di-
Geoffrey Kerr r e c t e d and
acted by Mr. Kerr. They were al-
lowed a fund of about $50 by the
school and, though the show was
BeI
an enormous success with the stu-
dents, the company went into the
red about $100. According to him
they had a "deficit."
Accordingly,"efput out books
with the words, music and pictures
of the show and tried vainly to sell
them /to his fellow students, who
couldn't buy them because they too
were broke. Finally he obtained the
consent of the housemasters to
have the price of the books put on
the bills for home. Then everyone
bought one and the deficit was
made up.
On his graduation from Charter-
house, Mr. Kerr passed his examin-
ations for Cambridge and had his
rooms engaged in Caius college
when had an opportunity to go on
the stage in a play that his father
was directing. He has been at it
ever since.
He has had a great deal of trouble
since coming to the United States
with his genuine English accent.
Soon ater arriving here he was
cast in the part of a recent Yale
graduate in Philip Barry's first
play, "You and I." When the play
was tried out at Ithaca, N. Y., he
was criticized for being a Yale man
with a Harvard accent. Laurette
Taylor, who was at that time play-
ing the part of an old Jewish wo-
man in "Humoresque," advised him
to have some American read the
part to him.
He therefore had an American
girl in the company read the part
over to him several times until he
thought he had the accent eradi-
cated. At the next performance he
went through the play concentrat-
ing on the enunciation with no
thought of the part.iAfterward,
Barry came up to him and compli-
mented him on his portrayal, say- !
ing it was "perfectly grand and the
best yet." "Thank you," Kerr re-
plied, "but how was the accent?"
"Oh," Barry replied, "never so Eng-
lish." So he gave up trying to re-
form, for which the theatre patrons
should be thankful.
At another time, Bide Dudley,
theatre critic, criticized him in his
radio review for not being consis-
tent in his English accent. Mr. Kerr
had said "can" in one place, and
"cahn't" in another, which, accord-
ing .to Mr. Dudley, the English
never did.

BELKNAP TO HEAO!
GEOLOGICAL. PARTYI
'ON GREENLAND TRIP'
Schmeling, Demorest, Gardiner
to Go With Expedition
as Assistants.
WILL LEAVE JUNE 14
Exploration Party Will Continue
Prof. Hobbs' Experiments
in Meteorology.
A geological expedition to Green-
land, endorsed by the University,
will sail from New York June 14.
The expedition will be headed by
R. L. Belknap, assistant professor
of geology in the University. Evans
S. Schmeling, Grad., Max Demo-
rest, '33, and Herbert Gardner, '34,
will accompany him. Demorest ac-
companied William S. Carlson on
an expedition to Greenand last
year.
Schmeling, who is going in the
capacity of geologist and aerologist,
Gardner who is the photographer
and botanist, and Professor Bel-
knap have made arrangements to
.sail to Greenland on the "Morris-
sey" with the Perry Memorial ex-
pedition, which is going to Cape
York' to erect a monument to Ad-
miral Perry. The geological expedi-
tion will be landed at its own base
on the west coast of Greenland.
Demorest, assistant geologist and
aerologist of the party, is first go-
ing to the University summer camp
in Kentucky. When the camp ends
he will go to Greenland by the way
of Denmark, bringing additional
supplies from Europe with him.
Base Near Glacier.
The base in Greenland is located
on the west coast at 74 degrees and
40 minutes, north latitude. It is
near the Cornell glacier.
A weather station is to be es-
taiblished and operated continually
for one year, and glacial studies are
to be made along the edge of the
ice. A reconnaissance survey is
also to be made of the area north
of the camp. This particular area
is new to exploration and is the
least known of any spot on the west
coast, it was said. It has never
been definitely covered before from
a geological standpoint.
Trips will be made over the ice
as far as the center of the country
to study weather conditions in the
interior. This kind of work is the
continuation of that which Prof.
William H. Hobbs of the geology
depatment has been sponsoring.
In organizing t h e expedition,
Professor Belknap has been assist-
,ed by Prof. Hobbs and Laurence M.
Gould.
Organizations Give Assistance.
Financial assistance h a s been
given by the National Research
council and the faculty Research
organization of the University.
Practically every year since 1926
there have University of Michigan
expeditions to Greenland. Prior to
this expedition the research has
been mainly aerological. This year,
however, more attention will be
paid to glacial studies.
Prof. Belknap's expedition will
not be alone in Greenland this year,
although it is the only one from
the United States. There will be a
number of expeditions there from
other countries celebrating by fur-
ther study the fiftieth anniversary
of the International Polar Year. La

Cour, head of the Danish meteorol-
ogical service, is president of the
commission in charge of organiz-
ing all other expeditions, which
will work together as one unit scat-
tered over Greenland.

HoOVER TAKES TAX
PLEA INTO SENATE
$280,000,000 Revenue Added;
Manufacturers Sales Levy
Request Ignored.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-(P)-
His mind 'suddenly made up in the
early morning h o u r s, President
Hoover today went before the Sen-
ate and pleaded for new taxes and
swift approval of the billion dollar
revenue bill.
Crowded galleries hea-rd the Pres-
ident's address-the first time he
has appeared personally to deliver
|a message to a congressional body
--and remained to see the Senate
respond quickly by adding $280,-
090,000 in new revenue, including
a one cent gasoline tax.
With the measure raised to bud-
get balancing proportions, the
weary senators waited impatiently
for a final vote. Although Mr. Hoo-
ver endorsed a limited manufac-
turers sales tax, his plea was ignor-
cd by the Senate finance commit-
tee.
The President also spoke his mind
on relief problems, asking that his
program for giving the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation authority
I to make loans on "sound projects"
to increase employment, provided
cut: : capital is employed, be
adopted.
Shortly before, Speaker Garner
had appeared before the House

posals wiit rejected flatly by the

ate.
