THE MICHIGAN DAILY E MICHIGAN DAILY Established 1890 - ) 4. deals with the conflict between a brilliant young actress and a brilliant old one. Mrs. MacDonald (astute theatre-goers detect just a hint of a resemblance to Mrs. Pat Camp- bell), representing the splendid past of the thea- tre, attends a party following the opening night of the latest idol, Miranda Clayfoot }(Why don't you read the New York papers?). Complications ensue. Miranda is interested in recovering a former lover from his young wife. She coos, pleads, weeps, threatens to take to dope. All sorts of interesting people attend the party. Irene Bordoni is one of them (the part, through deft casting, is played by Irene Bordoni). Mlle.

Gagnieur, last of the French Jesuit missionaries in Michigan, at once removed a colorful character and ended a glorious pioneering saga. For 35 years, Fr. Gagnieur traveled through the wilderness of northern Michigan carrying the message of Christianity to the Indians. He earned their love and undying gratitude. When he came on his regular visits to their log cabins or to schoolhouses in the various sections of the upper peninsula, the Indians came on foot or with what rude means of transportation they had to attend the services which he conducted and to hear him speak to them in their own language. He suf- fered many hardships such as are the lot of the missionary. The bitter cold and severe storms of the northern area did not keep him from his task. In the midst of a sophisticated and fast- moving age, when the simple things of life have been much neglected, it was refreshing for the wandering tourist to see this humble priest car- rying on his work. Five years ago, the University of Michigan sum moned Fr. Gagnieur from his work, to give it valuable information which only he could give and which would be entirely lost with his death if not recorded. He was the only living person who had a knowledge of the three dialects of the Objibway Indian language. The Indians them- selves had, in recent years, forgotten the three dialects, fusing them into one language. Prof. Eric Walter of the English department brought the priest to Ann Arbor to give recordings of this forgotten language. These recordings are of prime importance in the field of philology. Michigan will bid farewell with regret to the last of the French missionaries. They have con- tributed much to her historical development. Even before the arrival of the traders, the mission- aries had penetrated the wilderness, the heralds of white civilization. Among them was the great Pere Marquette who wrote his name indelibly in the annals of Michigan history.. They were brave men, hardy men, men who h7ad the courage of their convictions: Brebeouf, Lalement, and the many others who died suffering just as the Mas- ter whom they served did. And Father Gag- nieur, the last of them, was not the least of them. Bordoni sings with her customary verve, bringing I down the house with an interpretation of how I the American invasion has effected the cabaret singers of Paris. "Parmi mes souvenirs" - thumb to lip, hand to hip, wiggle, step to right, step to left. "Hai! Hai!" cries she, flinging her arms aloft. After Mlle. Bordoni, greater hilarity seems im- possible; but Miss Anglin produces it with her interpretation of the stately Mrs. MacDonald. It is all there; the grand manner, the gestures, the rich British accent. The pathos, too. Miss Anglin does not content herself with mere caricature. She shows the unhappy aspect of belonging to an old tradition; the aging actress whose admirers fade away, whose parts become scarcer. Barely a hint. of that -then a brusque quip or a throaty epi- gram. Ann Arbor playgoers who saw Miss Anglin sev- eral years ago in the Festival production of "Lady Windemere's Fan" know that she excells in that sort of thoughtfully-comic technique. Detroiters seemed to know it Monday night, too. Miss Ang- lin was applauded on every exit throughout the play. Screen Reflections Four stars means extraordinary; threestars definitely recommended; two stars, average; one star, inferior; no stars, stay away from it. AT THE MICHIGAN ''FROM BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD" NO STARS SLOW AND DRAWN OUT Hackett, ,Sr............Frank Morgan Hackett, Jr............Russell Hardie Hackett, III.............Eddie Quillan Mrs. Hackett............... Alice Brady Anne...................Madge Evans This latest 6,000 foot pseudo-epic from the grind-out town of Hollywood is all about a family of actors who have the old trouper gene in their chromosomes. "From Broadway to Hollywood" took a long time, and there isn't much to do but thumb-twiddle while it is making the long jour- ney from the 90's to the 30's. There is no plot. There is no action. It is drab to the highest degree; when it muddles about the naughty naughts period it is even worse. A long piece of hack-work comparable to the one under consideration is scarcely worth any- body's time, however, to endure the feature in order to hear and see excellent representations in the several short subjects of pressing contempor- ary problems like the Roosevelt gold market de- velopments, the U.S.-U.S.S.R. situation, and in- flation., Pete Smith's monologue exploration of inflation marks something new in the movie game, showing as it does the inner workings of a difficult eco- nomic scheme by simple farm pictures, simple industrial pictures, and simple charts which even the most uninitiated in financial fields can readily understand. In the Paramount Newsreel make- shift flashes of leaders in the Soviet Union are shown - Kalinin, Litvinoff, and Stalin are among them. And on schedule as always is the NRA short with the bands playing, flags flying, and the deifying pictures of Roosevelt. Flip the Frog is there, too, in a bull-fighting cartoon. The fact still remains, though, that "From Broadway to Hollywood" is a grim business, em- ploying poor script, evil direction, and, long- winded authorship. How shows like this continue to get by will be something for another genera- tion to investigate. -G.M.W., Jr. By HUBBARD KEAVY HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 27. - (P)-Real and un- reel: There was a tacit agreement among movie makers while the Lindbergh case was news to avoid stories about kidnaping. Now the bars are down. One abduction picture has been completed, an- other is starting and two or three more are con- sidered. "Miss Fane's Baby Is Stolen," which is about a movie actress (Carole Lombard will portray her) whose child (Baby Leroy) is kidnaped, is wholly fictional, says Rupert Hughes, who wrote it, Several actresses turned the story down because they were afraid young Leroy would "walk away" with the picture. NO NICE GIRL SWEARS By ALICE-LEONE MOATS (Alfred A. Knopf, $2.00) This book is not new and probably a great many of you have read it already. To those fortunate few it needs no recommendation. But the coed who has not yet seen this collection of common- sense advice for young women should certainly waste no time in purchasing a copy to put on the table where the Gideon Bible used to be. The chief attraction of the book lies in the fact that instead of preaching etiquette as a matter of form because it has always been done that way, it offers the young lady advice from a purely util- itarian standpoint. Miss Moats tells you what to do in almost any sort of situation, from attending a house-party to handling a difficult drunk, in the way that is easiest, most graceful, and will make the fewest enemies. Instead of saying that one must write a bread-and-butter note after a house-party because it is polite, she points out that, "Everyone knows it's an empty form, but hostesses are touchy about it. Even your best friend is apt to go punctilious on you. A thank- you note will be expected even though you were forced to spend the whole week-end shouting into Mrs. Wordy's ear-trumpet." A few samples will give a better idea of the tenor of the book than could any lengthy review. Of swearing it says, "It has been affected by vogues, and although an occasional 'damn' passes unnoticed, any systematic swearing on the part of a woman comes as a shock. It is always ugly and particularly, in moments of stress, vulgar. People who preface every sentence with 'My God' are worse. They're tiresome." Typical of the attitude of the book, which is written to meet strictly contemporaneous cond- tions, is the chapter entitled "Our Plastered Friends," - a subject which most etiquette writers prefer to believe does not exist. After enumerating the ten types of drunks which she classifies as hilarious, lachrymose, loquacious, taciturn, argu- mentative, magisterial, belligerent, sentimental, and amorous, and giving instructions for dealing with each, Miss Moats says, "When out with a plastered friend, control your feelings and on no account lose your temper. Let go the next day; the angrier you get the better; but at the time fight down any desire you may have to give him a piece of your mind. It only leads to a scene and makes no impression. Remain calm and try to get him to go home, but under no circumstances let him suspect you think he is tight. There is nothing that will infuriate him like a just suspicion of his condition. Agree with everything he says, as nine times out of ten he will forget it five seconds later. If you agree with him, you fix the idea in his mind. If he wants to take the orchestra away with him, be thrilled. If he develops a craving to play the saxophone, love saxophones and don't mention the merits of the tuba. If he takes a dis- like to a stranger across the room and decides he wants to punch him, agree that the man has an ugly face, but try to shift the conversation to an- other subject, and if the fight seems unadvoidable leave by the nearest exit." One more example of the priceless worth of this advice should send the socially conscious co-ed scurring to the nearest book store for her copy. "Under no circumstances scrawl any of the 'For- ever Thine' sentiments across a photograph. 'To my darling Rollo, lest you forget,' is not only indiscreet, but out and out wet. Whether the picture is intended for a man or a woman, follow the example set by royaltyrand simply sign your name. Celebrities are the only exception to this rule." 4'' i DAILY CLAS SIFTED ADS GET RE SULTS ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION SERIES presents DOIURIOTHY SANS in Her Comedy Hit "our Stage and Stars" WEDNESDAY, NOV. 1 at 8 P.M.
