FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1933 Student Conferences Ott World Affairs... and finally has proven unsuccessful. There is a1 future for the Anti-Saloon League, if it is able to exist with any degree of energy on a basis of exactly what its name implies, and nothing more. But most of its energy has been devoted to thwarting efforts of the wet element to drown the Eighteenth Amendment, or, at any rate, the Volstead Act; and both Michigan and Minnesota have gone irretrievably weU, with other states; rapidly following suit. Mr. Holsaple's admission of the vigor of the fight he has had to put up is an unwitting con-I fession that the Eighteenth Amendment was wrong. His continuing fight would seem now to be pure obstinacy, although it very probably is basedC on moral conviction. At any rate, it seems possible that Mr. Holsaple and many of his colleagues will shortly find themselves out of jobs. creen ReflectionS Four stars. means extraordinary; three stars very good; two stars good; onle star just another picture; no stars keep away from it. AT THE MICHIGAN "FROM HELL TO HEAVEN" * *"GRAND HOTEL" IN A, HORSE-RACING SETTING (As an aid in interpreting the stars used in this column to rate the films, it might be said that four stars corresponds roughly to the scholastic grading of A, three stars to B, two to C, one to D, and none at all to an E). Beginning with Jack Oakie's remark, "Luray Springs Hotel-people come, people go, nothing ever happens," this picture is a rather poor imita-j Lion of "Grand Hotel," with the setting a, southernI town on the day of the handicap horse-race. The action of the play centers around the race in which most of the characters have placed bets on different horses. The audience is interested in seeing that the horses of each of the cast come in first, but the favorite wins. Everybody was pretty Sure he was going to win, however, and everything somehow comes out all right in the end. None of the cast are especially outstanding but credit goes to Thomas Jackson for a good char- acterization. Jackson is the man who invariably, takes the role of the tough but soft-hearted de- tective and this show is no exception. Carole Lombard, who was born Jane Peters in Fort Wayne, Ind., and is related to the Ann Arbor Bursley family, has little to do but stand around have decided that his painting is abstract. There are indeed several kinds of abstraction in El Greco's painting-the story, the religious, the vi- sionary, the actual painting-form shaped as an instrument of expression by these-but they are miraculously fused in a unified spirit, itself an, abstraction of physical and metaphysical experi- ence. Primitive dancing, for example, is an abstrac- tion of primitive experience, whether with bulls or snakes or eagles as symbols, whether with motifs The Hearthstone .. r _ w++ Pomntl Road at CPi Limits) SUNDAY AND EVENING DINNERS s, cial s rv.i('e for Par' ies and Clubs S HOMEY I'LACE SERVING HOME PREPARED FOODS nwi :-2786 for Reservat'ons rm - arisiing from fertility of soil rituals, which grew i from man's warfare with the natural elements or his own fears or those of his enemies. The savage bedecks himself with eagle"s plum- age, he moves as he saw the eagle move, but het does not become the eagle. Actually, he gives his eagle-abstraction man's thought and emo- tional processes. The eagle may represent courage to man, but the eagle itself is courage, and un- aware of that courage as an abstraction. It is something the eagle cannot abstract from himself.j What the savage does is to make the eagle a man-j eagle, make him move as man thinks the eagle moves, and behave as he thinks the eagle would behave if the eagle were man. What we think of, as his abstraction is actually literature. Man paints trees and waves and man-their, essential form, which he says are the actual, the integral trees, waves, and man. But what he paints is literature. It may be abstract or sur- realistic literature, but content, no matter how non-literal or visionary or obscure, is in that,, painting, literary, music, or dance-form. Another thing: the artist may plumb the secret places of man's worlds for abstract truths, but if he is an artist he does not keep his discoveries 1 secret, or his discovered truths to himself. He does not say, as do certain of our ofcial abstrac- tionists when asked for the meanings of their ab- stract messages, "No one can understand me but myself." That, too, is "literature!"

The colleges and universities of our country are the best organizations to spon- sor such conferences, however, for they have not only men of great background to discuss the vari- ous phases which enter into the question of world peace but many students from foreign countries who can present their sides of the question. International peace cannot come about by hav- ing nations sign their names to a "scrap of paper." People of the various countries must be made to realize the tremendous loss of life and property which is inevitable whenever war breaks forth in any part of the world, and they must learn to settle their difficulties with other nations over the peace table. All students should be extremely interested in the International Conference which the S.C.A. is sponsoring 'from May 4 to 7. It will .provide an opportunity to hear the unofficial spokesmen from various countries, who will not attempt to give a diplomatic discussion of the topics before the conference but a sincere viewpoint. This confer- ence is an invitation to the students of this campus to add one more block to the wall that is being built to shut out war. Those attending the meetings will undoubtedly be given a clearer outlook on the question of international affairs. 01 I'scount and S ok(-Piiig Ace essori~ n ASoies IV.

At least seven of its nine lives were snuffed out by the return of beer and light wines, and the other two are gradually weakening as a result of gradual ascent, step by step, to the twenty-first amendment. A rather periec epitaph was pro- nounced Wednesday by the Rev. R. N. Holsaple, who has directed the Michigarj Anti-Saloon League for the past 10 years. The statment, which Mr. Holsaple probably did not realize the signifi- cance of himself, was made upon announcement of his territorial swap with the Rev. D. L. Mc- Bride, who has controlled the league in Minne7 sota. Said Mr. Holsaple: "Dr. McBride and I have. been friends for years.

Angna Enters' method is the antithesis of Miss Graham's. Her dances frankly "tell a story." Her music numbers are filled with literary atmosphere and background, ,as .contrasted with Miss Graham's "abstract" com- positions. A belief most strange to me is the odium which attaches to the painting, music, dance contained in an apparent literary aspect. The argument is that the purity of the art form is necessarily de- filed by the presence of literature. That is, the "pure form" of a painting is believed to be cor- rupted by the presence of a recognizable "story" element. If the painting is truly "abstract" you can not, must not, }recognize anything it it save form that is "pure," "significant," or "abstract." In other words, the belief is that painting is painting, the dance is the dance, and literature is literature. There is truth in such a belief, but not all of the truth. Otherwise, how are we to account for Maumier, Hogarth, El Greco, Goya and others among the painters, or for Bizet, Wagner, Strav- insky, Schoenberg among the composers. Litera- ture and a good deal else are very much part of their painting and music. Is it really possible to say with a straight face that El Greco was not a "pure" painter because of the recognizable religio-mystical literature (and Aothr less ure things) in his nainting, or to ex- 340 South State Street "WE DELIVER" ---A.
