The Theatre CARL SANDBURC--. AN APPRECIATION Although Carl Sandburg's fame as a poet has in the last five years somewhat dwindled, he is likely in the next five to be restored to a position in American literature which he deserves and which he will enjoy, I think, permanently. The acclaim he received in the early 'twenties from critics such as William Rose Benet and Carl Van Dorin in America, Rebecca West in England and, from many French critics, was perhaps due to the temporary vogue for "authentic and indigenous voices." This attitude, though perhaps overstressed at the time, is sounder than the fake classicism of the hastily sophisticated youngish men who have succeeded Sandburg in the esteem of critics. Sandburg's poetry is marred, in the opinion of some of these critics, by the tendency to orate in verse on social wrongs, but I am not convinced that oratory has no legitimate place in'poetry. As a Scandinavian of the lower middle class, I admit a feeling of uncritical sympathy and admiration for Sandburg long before he was accepted by the official critics, and I can testify that many men who had not the historical imagination to appre- ciate Dante or Milton, but who had native intel- ligence enough to resent the flub-dub of Eddie Guest, felt themselves stirred by Sandburg's hon- est and eloquent expression of their own experi- ences and emotions. This representative quality in Sandburg is a securer basis for a permanent reputation than the current fad for exquisites such as T. S. Eliot, who, though he expresses bril- liantly the experiences of a limited number of un- usual people, is at present enjoying the uncom- prehending admiration of many a dull intellec- tual snob both in and out of college. For .Sandburg is a representative poet of Amer- ica speaking for a large number of our people. He has been called, unfortunately, the "Chicago Poet" by those who know only one of his earlier poems. His claim to being American is justified not only by the wide scope of such poetry as that in "Slabs of the Sunburnt West" and "Good Morning, America," but also by his biography of Lincoln, our most representative American hero, and by the "American Song-Bag" which should be in every American home where bridge and radio have not taken the joy out of life. Mr. Sandburg, whenever he appears on the platform, sings some of these folk-songs gathered in the South, North, East and West, and every time I hear him I re- capture some of the delight I felt fifteen years ago when I first heard him and his guitar. -N.

Subsequent to a recent item about Leon Czo- golz, McKinley assassin, we learn that not only he but also Charles Guiteau, the man who shot Pres- ident Garfield, attended Ann Arbor High School. However, neither of the two graduated. A grocer on East William Street displayed a sign in front of his store: "Williams St. Grocery." When he put up a second sign he had apparently learned the name of the street for thereon the name is correct. By dialing a certain number in Ann Arbor you may be connected directly with the governor's office in Lansing. No street in Ann Arbor has been named 13th, proving that the early settlers must have been superstitious. Musical Events PALMER CHRISTIAN IN BACH RECITAL Toccata, Adagio and Fugue Siciliano Chorale: "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" Chorale Prelude : "In Thee Is Joy" Prelude and Fugue in E minor Chorale Prelude: "I call to Thee" Prelude in D Sonatina from the Cantata: "God's Time is Best" Sinfonia to the Cantat: "I Stand With One Foot in the Grave". Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor Palmer Christian, University organist, will pre- sent the above program of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach at 4:15 p. m. today in Hill Audi- torium. It is a popular convention to think of "Fugue," double "fortes," and a lot of energetic pedal work when the name of Bach is mentioned in connec- tion with the organ, but this is just as erroneous as a lot of the other impressions that have been handed down to us. Bach could laugh as well as pray, and although always characterized by his sincerity, he was far more human than one is ac- customed to consider the simple and devout "Kap- pelmeister" of Leipzig. Today's program might be considered a character sketch of this composer ranging as it does from the brilliant gayety of the Toccata in C, to the massive nobility of the "Ca- thedral" Prelude and Fugue in E minor, and in- cluding the Sonatina from "God's Time Is Best," of which Mendelssohn says, "It is a longe time since I have been so touched by anything as by this Sonatina. I could not help thinking of Bach's solitary position, his pure, mild and vast power, and the transparency of its depths."}. Bach was harmonic as well as melodic-he could write the tremendous Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor whichs employs etery known device of counterpoint, but he could also do such cantabile passages as the melody of the Adagio of the Toc- cota in C, and that of the Siciliano in a su- premely beautiful way.

SCHROEN HEADQUARTERS FOR ENOZ MOTH SPRAY SERVICE rT HE FAR-REACHING evils of the I proposed cut in the University ap- propriation have been enumerated and are before the public. It is next in order to consider what the measure would mean to the Michigan tax- payers for whose benefit it is designed. Taxable property in this state has at present an assessed valuation of about six and a half billion dollars. The proposed economy would amount to something more than $2,000,000. The benefit to taxpayers, therefore would be less than 35 cents per $1,000 of taxable property. This means, for instance, that the average $5,- 000 property in Michigan would be granted a little more than a dollar and a half tax reduction-at the expense of the virtual destruction of one of the greatest universities in the world. Michigan is a great state. Its name and its fame have justly spread far beyond the confines of its own borders. In the very forefront of its glories is its University, an institution acknowledged as a leader by every educator in the world. The present issue involves a choice between continuing it or adopting an economy that will mean just 30 cents per thousand dollars' worth of property to the taxpayers. In utmost respect to the Legislature we voice our fervent hope that the cut that has been pro- posed will not be made. A Chance To Start Over With A Clean Slate . . T OMORROW, voters all over the State of Michigan will cast their ballots on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment by voting to ratify or reject the Twenty- First Amendment. The Twenty-First Amendment provides for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment and also authorizes Congress to. prohibit shipments of intoxicating liquors into states which have local prohibition. Under the method set up by the Michigan Leg- islature, Michigan voters are really voting directly on the question of repeal. They will vote for dele- gates to a state convention which will ratify or reject the new amendment. The candidates nom- inated have been, in most cases, the leaders of the repeal and prohibition causes, respectively. The matter of personalities does not enter into the question, any more than it does in the election of Presidential electors. The candidates are pledged to vote for or against ratification, and thus record the vote of their constituencies. In Washtenaw County, Nathan Potter, county commander of the Crusaders, and Lquis Reiman, prominent dry leader, are the two candidates. Be- lieving as we do in the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. we strongly urge the voters of this county to elect Mr. Potter to the state convention. it is not, as we have said before, a matter of per- sonalities. But Mr. Potter stands for a principle which the voters of Washtenaw County, of the second Congressional district, and the whole state of Michigan overwhelmingly endorsed in the No- vember clection-the repeal of Prohibition. Voters who are confused about the many bal- lots should remember that, in November, the ques- -- -------- AT THE LYDIA MENDELSSOHN "KAMERADSCHAFT" The change in Franco-German relations from a seething post-war hatred to a frienndly cama- raderie induced by mutual distress, is portrayed in "Kameradschaft," Art Cinema League talkie which will be shown Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. A hor- rible mine disaster is the medium which brings the two European nations, enemies for four years, to work arm-in-arm to rescue their stricken com- rades. "Kameradschaft" might almost have been an American product. The transitions do not show the continental tendency to jumpiness, and there is concerted action shown on the part of the pro- ducers towards achieving their portrayal.of com- radeship. The sound, which is about 75 per cent French and the rest German, is fairly intelligible to the student of lang-uages and the photography is consistently good. English subtitles clear up little points that may bother those who have stuck close to the English tongue. The belching flames which are the forerunner of dust explosions, poison gas fumes, and mashed water pipes, make an exciting sequence. Other subterranean scenes, including those showing the searching parties tapping pipes to locate their lost brothers and those showing the devoted grand- father in search of his grandson, are of equal interest. "Kameradschaft" teaches its little lesson aboutf foolish post-war animosities in an unobtrusive way, and manages to be highly entertaining in a more un-subtle fashion. Added attractions: Screen Reflections hadn't realized until now that Mickey Mouse equals Art with a capital A, but he evidently does. Mr. Mouse, in "The Duck Hunt" is the star of an appealing cartoon in which the hound sniffs at trees, the ducks make unkind noises with their bills (that's right, we think), and Mickey himself is dragged' over pointed housetops-the audience shivers at this last. But maybe its all art with a small a. AT THE MAJESTIC "PERFECT UNDERSTANDING" MARITAL DIFFICULTIES IN A HIGH SOCIETY SETTING Judy .................. Gloria Swanson Nick ........ ..........Laurence Oliver 1 George ................ Michael Farmer Kitty ................. Genevieve Tobin Stephany ............Nora Swineburne Gloria Swanson's first picture in over a year is not a conspicuous success. In the first place, the actress is cast as a sweet, young, unsophisticated girl, a type of role that she has outgrown. In the second place, the sound recording is somewhat squawky, reminiscent of the first talking pictures. In the third place, the play is not particularly clever. Cast and produced in England, this picture in- troduces some new characters to American thea- tre-goers. Laurence Oliver is particularly success- ful in the role of Nick, Judy's husband.
