SUNDAY, MAY 28, 1933 With Regard To The Sewagye Plan. T IS our conviction that considera- tion of the sewage plant charter amendment to be decided upon in tomorrow's special election must induce the voters to act affirmatively. Two things will be accomplished by a "yes vote, as the backers of the measure are pointing out. In the first place present pollution of the Huron River would be terminated, to the benefit not only of Ann Arborites but of this whole por- tion of the State. A need of every community that would be truly modern is adequate sewage disposal, by some means other than those which contaminate its environs. The second accomplishment of a favorable vote would be the partial solution of Ann Arbor's im- mediate problem of unemployment. The city and Stte have reached the end of their resources in caring for the local poor, and dire straits are in the near offing for them unless the work they are so willing to do is made available. The Recon- struction Finance Corporation has given its last pure relief dollar, and can no longer make loans for other than self-financing projects. The sewage disposal plant, which would be operated on a public utility basis, would fall in this category. Thus money to construct it could be borrowed with consequent employment of many men. The State consented to construction of the plant several years ago. The people of Ann Arbor authorized its building in the April election, al- though they refused then to adopt the charter amendment providing for its financing as a pub- lic utility. It now being apparent, however, that this is-the only way in which the plant can be financed, the voters should adopt it cheerfully, mindful of the advantages it will bring. It would probably be the best way in the long run, any- how. Sixty per cent of those who vote tomorrow must vote affirmatively if the measure is to pass. So everyone favoring it is urged to visit the polls. Screen eflections Four stars means extraordinary;nthree stars very good; two stars good; one star just another picture; no stars keep away from it. AT THE MAJESTIC "THE BARBARIAN" .THE SHIEK BREAKS LOOSE AGAIN About the best thing that can be said for "The Barbarian" is that it contains dialogue written by Anita Loos which is extremely clever in spots. Louise Closser Hale, mentioned a short time ago in this column for her ability to be successfully humorous, puts these lines across very nicely in "The Barbarian." The next best thing that can be said for it is that it is far-fetchedly unusual. We are told that screen fans like to witness the impossible-if that more perfect subject to be whisked away over the desert sands on a fiery steed than Myrna Loy. Reginald Denny does well as the jilted English fiance too, since he always had a perennially lilted expression. So, in the final analysis, "The Barbarian" is an amusing picture to see. "Song of the Nile," which you have probably already heard on your radio, is the beautiful theme song of the picture. You will find it interrupting your innermost thoughts for hours after you have seen the pic- ture. Don't rush out and buy a one-way passage to Cairo, however, as you probably will find things there much different from the scenes of "The Barbarian." -E. J. P. ANGNA ENTERS' TUESDAY PROGRAM Following is the program to be presented Tues- day by Miss Angna Enters, distinguished dance- mime. Miss Enters is being presented Monday and Tuesday evenings in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre by Robert Henderson as a part of the Dramatic Festival. She will be accompanied by Kenneth Yost. 1. AMERICAN BALLET-1914-16. 2. PEON'S HEAVENLY ROBE (from the cycle "Land of the Plumed Serpent") First Time. This movement from Miss Enters' Mexican cycle of ancient and contemporary times is an abstract fantasy on the naive Mexican peon's general re- ligious attitude towards death. The accompani- ment is an abstraction of the peon's associations with certain sounds. The owl's hoot symbolizes death. The melody played on the clay flute is an authentic Mexican Indian dance air. The ratchet, used in religious demonstrations to symbolize the breaking of Judas' bones, is used here as a death rattle. 3. PIQUE-NIQUE-1860 dejeuner au bois, Delibes 4. DELSARTE-WITH A NOT TOO CLASSICAL NOD TO THE GREEKS. A handy guide to the movements and expres- sion of this item: Dramatic Position No. 1 Aversion Dramatic Position No. 2 Pleading Grace Terror Discernment Supplication Joy or Gladness Grief Freedom Tragedy Listening Sorrow Secrecy Remorse Anticipation Resignation Welcome Longing Reproach Devotion Defiance Nobility Scornful dismissal Ecstacy N. B.-Miss Enters will not engage in any cor- respondence concerning the universal and ulti- mate truth, not to say accuracy, of these "inter- pretations." 5. IKON-BYZANTINE . There was in that sombre and brooding mystery which pervades Eastern religion, espe- cially that ramification of it which came under the influence of the introspective mind of Russia," -W. J. Henderson in New York Sun INTERMISSION 6. VIENNA-PROVINCIAL, 1910 (in homage to Arthur Schnitzler). A sequence in 3 movements: (1) Return from Prayers. (2) The Party. (3) Return from Party. N. B.-This sequence, though dedicated to the memory of Arthur Schnitzler, is in no way related to his writings. 7. -DANCE OF DEATH, NO. 1 First solo modern abstract dance without music presented iri America, anticipating by several years the modern dance in America. ". ..The dancer's movements are a processional, of that woman's memories of the spiritual and physical deaths life has eaten into her conscious- ness. Her knees speak of the wearings of retrac- ing ancient roads to the small, familiar ecstacies. Over her face, which dances in a culminative, evocative counterpoint to long arms gradually pulled into a hypnotic darkness, steal shivering recollections of childhood terrors suffering in the face of a vast, cruel world, the first disillusioning deaths of love, and then, triumphantly, a rigid reflection of the irresistible glamour which the dark unknown holds. The lustre of death begins to dance in the eyes tired of life, the intolerable circle of caroused wonders. 1Life, still undefeated, tugs at the body, but the entranced feet and the taut, seeking arms, the entranced face, are drawn with a slight shudder into the darkness."-Louis Kalonyme in "Arts and Decoration." 8.

MAINLY CONCERNING "SPRINGTIME FOR HENRY" Benn Levy's "Springtime for Henry" opened at the Lydia Mendelssohn Friday and George Spel- vin-you know good old Uncle George, the per- sonality bqy-reviewed it for The Daily next morning. We have no quarrel with Mr. Spelvin's sentiments-but we do feel that they need a bit of amplifying. Mr. Spelvin terms the play, with more enthusi- asm than exactitude, "immoral" and "baudy," and then goes on to explain that the immorality and baudiness are not seriously intended. He is precisely right, but it occurs to us that the casual reader might miss his point and begin writing letter signed "Indignant" and "Taxpayer." "Old Subscriber," "Pro Bono Publico" and all the others are prone to jump at conclusions from the sound of words without bothering to read for intensely moral writers-at odd moments. He is a humanist, and that is about as moral as you can get these days without going into pinafores and long curls. He believes in general that his fellow creatures are endowed with certain funda- mental decencies and that each eventually works out his ethical problems satisfactorily. Sometimes, as in "The Devil Passes" or "Art and Mrs. Bottle," Levy points up his Humanism; sometimes he just goes giddy-gay and tosses everythg to the winds Which of these moods each new play will exhibit is unpredictable. Levy cannot be divided into periods. He jumps the philosophical fence continually, but always man- ages to be extremely amusing. His plays leave the audience feeling all bright and clean inside, and that is what "Old Subscriber" is likely to forget. So much for "Old Subscriber." Perhaps what we have said seems obvious; the need for saying it becomes clear when it is explained that Detroit audiences steered clear of "The Devil Passes" when it was shown there last winter. The title was too scarey--yet "The Devil Passes" is about as vicious as a Sunday school tract or a map of Palestine. The easiest way for a reviewer to alienate all his readers is to make comparisons with the Or- iginal New York Cast (with no small pride at having seen it), so we shall do just that. The original cast was made up of Leslie Banks, Nigel Bruce, Helen Chandler, and Frieda Innescourt, all fine and noted actors. Robert Henderson's cast is made up of actors just about twice as fine and twice as noted. The only reason they do not far outshine the New York Production is the re- striction of time in repertory work. "Springtime for Henry" here has rough spots that it did not have there, but the Henderson cast gives a decidedly more hearty and down- right funny performance when at its best. There is a racier tempo here, the fairy-tale quality of the script is played up more by mannered acting. The Ann Arbor cast brings out the fact that Levy is merely having a field-day with his plot. Any expression of our approval of Tom Powers, Violet Heming, Rose Hobart, and Robert Lor- raine would sound rather flat. So we'll content ourselves with a passing nod to Mr. Powers' ver- satility-Victor Hallam last week and Henry Dew- lip this, Malvolio next month. There is evidently nothing the man cannot do. -P. M.

Published by Schuman's, Detroit. The publication of these poems, winners of the Avery and Jule Hopwood major awards here last spring, is less an event in the field of contem- porary poetry than it is the promise of an event to come. Application of the word "poetry" to anything written by a Michigan student should be startling enough in itself, but there are more things to be said for Miss Persov's verses than that. Any at- tempt at a purist definition of the words aside, "Whatever You Reap" is decidedly good modern poetry or verse or what you will. In other words, it meets certain standards set up by Miss Per sov's immediate predecessors. It is gaudy, it is passionate, it is crisp and hard. It is dangerous to attempt to generalize on any-4 thing as complex and debatable as modern poetry. But when all the cults, trends, and isms are stripped away, one basic motivation can be found in it. Modern. poetry is self-conscious, intro- verted. Faced with self doubt as to their abliity to write "beautiful" lines of the old variety, almost all the moderns cultivate a studied subtle angu- larity of feeling. Some slight dissonance or syn- copation brings an air of artificiality and almost apology into every line. The effect, whether pre- cisely admirable philosophically or not, is dis- tinctly pleasing to the modern ear. Perhaps it will be discredited by a later age; perhaps, also, it will thereafter be reinstated, just as restora- tion literature is now finding a new vogue. Whatever may be the merits of the case, Miss Persov is clearly of and in her time. She is an apt student of what is best and most representa- tive; perhaps she will be more. Certainly there is ripe promise in much of her book. I think I would have given you my soul If you had had more pity, been more kind. You left me standing naked without cover; I turned in self defense, and ran, my lover. Compare those lines to Amy Lowell's on the same subject, in "Crowned"- The petals waned paler and shriveled And dropped, and the thorns started through; Bitter thorns to proclaim me your lover- A diadem woven with rue. There is also a pleasing likeness between Miss Persov's taste and Sappho's (as shown in the much-elaborated Miller-Robinson edition)-both have joy in bright colors, fruits, garlands, and subtleties. Miss Persov has probably patterned THE RELIABLE WINDOW CLEANING COMPANY Ceilings and Walls Washed Awnings - Floor Waxing Service and Courtesy A. G.
