FRIDAY, DEC. 9, 1932k itistics On Voting Ann Arbor.. A PREVIOUS editorial in these col- umns discussed the matter of traight' voting in Ann Arbor during the recent ection. Since we have received some questions in egard to the facts on this matter, we print the llowing statistics on which the article was based. hese figures were obtained through an examina- bih of the official tally sheets returned by the ection officials of the various wards. The highest percentage of straight voting of all recincts of the city was in the first precinct of ae seventh ward, namely 54 per cent. This pre- lkct, which gave a Republican majority, is on the Ist side of the city and contains the homes of a ,rge percentage of the University faculty mem- ers. The lowest percentages were in the fifth ard (35 per cent) and in the second (37 per mnt.) These wards are in the west and north des of the city, respectively. They have the nallest percentage of faculty members of all the. aards. The majority vote in these wards was emocratic by a large margin. The straight vote in each of the three "faculty" ecincts was larger than was the number of ch ballots in the first, second and fifth wards. hie total straight vote in the three east side pre- nets was 47 per cent of the total cast. In the ve other wards the ratio was 45 per cent. Phe Detroit Times lisquotes Dean Bursley. NCE again the Detroit Times has O garbled facts in such a way as to nbarrass the University of Michigan. On several occasions in the past, the Times is shown a tendency to distort or over-emphasize ories concerning the University. Such were the storic liquor raids, the "dating bureau" affair, id the more recent "scandal" following last ar's sophomore cabaret. This tendency in the mes may be due simply to a desire to satisfy ader demand for sensational stories about col- ge, but it shows a lamentable lack of considera- >n for the University authorities who are made suffer bey misrepresentation. Perhaps the Times feels safe in hitting at the aiversity because it knows the University will t hit back. The latest offense of the Times is an interview th Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students, in which is quoted as saying that "campus attics are led with starving students and a college edu- tion isn't worth it." Obviously, to anyone who knows the facts, the week or so." (Daily) - "They ought to leave college and go to work or go back to their home towns and find sup- port from their local welfare organizations." (Times). "It is folly for these students to ruin their' health in this manner. They are doing them- selves more harm than good. It would be much better if they would stay out a year and earn enough to- support them in comfort the next year." (Daily) Screen Reflections Four stars means extraordinary; three stars very good; two stars good; one star just another picture; no stars keep away from it. AT THE MICHIGAN "UNDER-COVER MAN" UNDERWORLD STORY; RAFT AS A TOUGH MUGG "Snell".'......'..' ....George Raft Laura Clark..............Nancy Carroll The Chief Villain .........Lew Cody Marty..............Gregory Ratoff The Bumper-Off-er .......Roscoe Karns The Inspector .........David Landau "Under-Cover Man" is the story of a crook who joins the police stool-pigeon forces in an attempt to discover the murderer of his father, a bond- handler who sometimes takes the "hot" variety. Snell enlists the services of Laura, whose brother has been killed by i member of the offending gang. Several interesting situations develop. The con- clusion Will 'reveal one unlooked-for identity, while the events leading up to it are done with more force than usual (although with less gun- play than in the average gangster picture). Certain movie followers will find fault with the undeniable glorification of George Raft's sleek gunman role. It is distinctly not a show for children. Raft does not have much to do. Lew Cody is suave as the high-pressure underworld chieftain who affects double-breasted suits in moderate tones. Nancy Carroll is unappealing in a weak and submerged part. -G. M. W. Jr-. The Theatre 'BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK' If there is one thing Play Production is to be commended for it is its happy faculty of choos- ing fine plays. "The Adding Machine" started in the 1932 season on a high level and the selection of "Beggar on Horseback" continued it on this level, I leftthis play marveling that any two people could depict a nightmare in such a realistic man- ner as did George Kaufman and Marc Connely in this production. They attempted a difficult task in portraying an experience of this sort, and carried this task to a succesful completion in a most devilishly consistent way. One could recite line after line in showing how well these authors realized the credulity and absurdity that combine in making dreams. I cannot resist mentioning, in passing, the lyric sung so "heart-brokenly" by Frances Johnson, or the quick removal to the higher courts by the judge. However, there are other points of as much importance and more immediate interest to be discussed. Choosing Leonard Stocker as Neil McRae at random from the large cast, one finds that he gave a rather uneven performance, rising to a high level at times and then sinking back to an ordinary average. I particularly liked his murder and- his dumbfounded, dazed reception of the Cady's tea guests. Since his appearance as Colin Langford in "At Mrs. Beam's" this summer with the Michigan Repertory Players, Stocker has steadily advanced, and is still advancing. Frances Manchester's Gladys Cady was as annoyingly, raspy as one could wish. Although all the women characters in the play were well done, I believe Miss Manchester was slightly in the lead. Her interpretation was fine, leaving one with just the proper degree of exasperation and good humor. Mary Pray was an understanding Cynthia, and lent the performance a professional flavor in her execution of the pantomime. Jack Nestle's Homer was almost fantasticaly obvious. But aren't Kaufmann's characters. Gladys Diehl was tied to her rockin' chair more literally than some of the factory song writers might wish. Her characteri- zation was excellent, and proved a close second to Miss Manchester's. John Silberman and Max- well Pribil rounded out an enjoyable cast. The latter was cast better than he has been in some time gaining the overdrawn effects very naturally indeed. The supporting members. are far too nu- merous to mention but the jurydeserves applause as well as the Charlestoning butlers and ushers. Nor should one forget the Ladies-in-Waiting of the pantomime. In giving a judgment on the merits of the cast I have kept in mind a critical standard brought tage of this production than did the stage man- Iger. The setting afforded innumerable opportu- nities. How many can only be guessed by re- nembering what the summer players did with nother Kaufman show. We have had "Once in a Lifetime" and "The Beggar on Horseback" within a few months. Here's looking forward to "Of Thee I Sing." P. S. The Michigan Daisy was one of the most spirited papers I have read of late, (adv.) -M. A. S. "THE DEVIL PASSES" IT THE BONSTELLE FRIDAY As an enigmatic clergyman in "The Devil Passes," Benn Levy's modern comedy which was one of the outstanding successes of ,th past New York season, Rollo Peters will be presented in his second and final week at the Bonstelle Civic rheatre, opening Friday, Dec. 9. The role is per- fectly suited to his romantic flavor although it offers complete contrast to the sentimental "Peter Ibbetson," in which he scored a personal triumph this week. In the person of Rev. Lucy, the prince of dark- ness makes an earthly visitation at a country house party. It is his object to discover the soul- yearnings of the other characters in the parable, and to prove that they are not evil enough to realize them even if given the opportunity. En- gaged by him in a game of "Truth," they reveal their desires-the painter wishes to create beauty, the actress longs for the sound of clapping hands, the unsuccessful author slongs for success. The popular and aging novelist says he wants comfort and his mistress declares for perfect love. The Rev. Messiter aspires to be an archbishop that he may wreak a frenzied exposure of the Almighty as a cruel and vengelful monster. His wife wants only to do her duty. Then the Serpent offers to these "realists" the means to satisfy their sev- eral hankerings, they all resist temptation except the parson. He defies God to strike him dead, but for his blasphemy suffers only nausea. "The Devil Passes" will introduce Miss Joanna. Roos, one of New York's leading artists, a suc- cess of last season starring in "Life Begins," previously with the Lunts in "Elizabeth the Queen," with Lillian Gish in "Uncle Vanya," and with Madge Kennedy in "Paris Bound." Also fea- tured in the cast are Francis Compton, Jessie Busley, and Robert Henderson. An extra matinee will be given Sunday, Dec. 11, at 2:30 p. m.
