TUESDAY, SEPT. 26, 1933 Decline Socialist Of LParty .. . membe a very times admin: paign I HE recent desertion of the Social- ist party by two of its leading ton Sinclair and Heywood Broun, is ng indication of the trend of the as an echo of the resounding defeat to the Socialist party in the cam- T HE REQUEST of the Regents of the University to the State Build- ing Department for an Administration Building and an astronomical group as the University's "fair share" of the $3,300,000,000 Federal fund established to help "end the depression" should fit into the national public works program ad- mirably. For some time the University has needed these buildings. In all probability they would have long since been constructed if the nation's great financial reverse in 1929 had not prevented such a step. Now, when funds are being distributed among the several states for the purpose of build- ing public structures in order to provide employ- ment, there can be no longer conscientious ob- jection to such a procedure. The State of Michigan should receive about $25,000,000 from the Federal Government for building purposes and general rehabilitation. Cer- tainly this long-felt need of the University's should be answered when such funds are avail- able. The University already owns the land upon which the proposed Administration Building would be constructed. It also owns the greater portion of the site upon which the astronomical group would be set up. Between 300 and 500 men would be given employment for more than a year through the construction projects. And surely the University is one institution which is entitled to assistance through this general con- struction program, having borne its share of the ill effects of the depression. The Regents are not asking for funds to satisfy a selfish desire in the construction of beautiful edifices without a purpose. These buildings are needed and they are needed badly. It is to be sincerely hoped that their requests will be an- swered with the same foresight and thoughtful- ness which prompted their action. Screen Reflections AT THE MAJESTIC "ONE MAN'S JOURNEY" *EXCELLENT CAST IN A SUPERIOR STORY Dr. Eli Watt............Lionel Barrymore Aunt Sarah .... . ..............May Robson Letty McGinnis............ Dorothy Jordan Bill ... .....................Joel McCrea Joan Stockton ................Frances Dee McGinnis ...................David Landeau Eli Watt, M. D., a country doctor who remained just a country doctor because he used his heart as much as his head in helping his patients, is the center of a sea of troubles in a small, old- fashioned town where modern medicine and mod- ern sanitation were unheard of until he takes the situation into his own hands when a small-pox epidemic strikes. Through his tireless efforts, it is headed off and from then on he is a combined patron saint and curer of all ills to everyone in the village who cannot afford a doctor from the big city. The best shot comes at the climax when Eli is given long-due honor at a banquet in honor of another physician and at which he fumbles through an impromptu speech. Eli is made a real human being by Barrymore, as we see him save Letty McGinnis' life, awake his hardboiled son to what a real doctor should and can be, and save Letty's husband not only from death but from wrecking Letty's happiness. Barrymore's genius is again brought out in this picture, but there is a tendency to dwell too long on pensive scenes where his ability to portray mental confusion and unhappiness is shown. There were several good shots of the well-known hardships of a country rural doctor in this coun- try (his happy New Year's Eve ride in the sleigh.) The program is well rounded out by W. C. Field's good humor in his comedy "The Barber Shop" (a comedy in which a base fiddle has "fid- dlets"), a clever Screen Souvenir (including bath- ing suits of the 1910 period and an old back- woodsman drama), and the Hearst Metro-Tone News. AT THE MICHIGAN ** "BEAUTY FOR SALE" Comedy, Mickey Mouse in "Puppy Love" Three girls working in a Madame Sonia's Beauty Shoppe, "Beauty For Sale," fall in love with married millionaires and the question as to whether they like it goes three ways; one fails and kills herself, one, in love with the money suc- ceeds, and the other has a chance too but shuns it. The girl with the willpower is Letty (played rather well by Madge Evans). Mr. Sherwood (Otto Kruger, who is very good in spite of his looks) has a hard time with his wife Mrs. Sher- wood (Alice Brady, who is clever, fickle, and in constant need of beauty treatment) before she falls in love with an architect, so after that every- thing is fine. But the "fineness" isn't reached un- til the end of the picture and to attain that re- quires quite a bit of plot entanglement-a plot that is cleverly worked out. Although a picture of this type is not highly intellectual it contains some good photography (when Madge Evans is talking to Una Merkle on the stairway), wisecracks (some of them awfully sad), a suicide, a trip to Europe, and four or five permanent waves. Phillips Holmes and May Rob- son have minor roles; the former does better in a leading role but May Robson can do any part exceedingly well. The balance of the program is the best that has been to town for some time. Paul Tompkins plays the organ while you sing, Mickey Mouse is For the past decade, there has been agitation in the United States for a strong third party, a party of the proletariat such as the Labor party in England: The trend of the times has, how- even, been otherwise. In both England and the United States, the trend has been toward a two- party system with a strong liberal party lined up against a strong conservative party. In Eng- land, the. pasty of the middle, the Liberal party, has dropped out of sight and the Conservative and Labor parties have come to represent the two points; of political viewpoints. In the United States, the liberals have seized control of the decadent Democratic party and the third party, the Socialist, has faded into obscurity. Last fall, a heavy vote for the Socialist candi- date, Norman Thomas, was predicted: it did not materialize. The masses, discouraged with the leadership of the conservative Republican party, did not turn to Thomas but to the new Demo- cratic leadership under Roosevelt. The Demo- cratic party has largely lived up to the expecta- tions of the liberal element. Greater changes in the direction of liberalism have taken place in the last few months than at any time in the history of the country. The true liberals in the Socialist party have begun to realize the change and have turned to the party which can trans- late their views into political action. The charges of Sinclair and Broun that the Socialist party has become a closed group in the nature of a religion -with a certain number of persons considering themselves among the "con- verted" and everyone else being "on the outside," are largely true. This spirit is evidenced in So- cialist meetings everywhere and in the Socialist press. Not long ago we witnessed a Mooney mass meeting in which the tactics used were much the same as those used in a religious revival meet- ing. The Socialist party, the answer seems to be, hias been driven into a corner and is trying des- perately to keep itself alive. The tactics used are those which are always indicative of a dying fac- tion. It's beginning to look as though Socialism is dead -long live socialism! By LARRY KING SELLING Daily subscriptions is a tough job but it's not all hard work. Miss Lois Rosenberry, attractive transfer from Wisconsin, was scared to go through the registration and classification line. Said she to a subscription hound, "I'll buy your old Daily if you'll make out my schedule and get me through the line." "Fine," said he, "I know all the pipes." Miss Rosenberry got through the line in double-quick time, subscribed for The Daily. W ES HENRY, Sigma Phi contact man, didn't get very good marks. Last summer Wes came to Summer School to get off probation, didn't get very good grades, went home to Tacoma, Wash. Arriving home, he got a n6te from Wilbur R. Humphreys, then acting dean of the literary col- lege, that he was continued on probation. When he got back to Ann Arbor, Wes was informed by Edward H. Kraus, new literary dean, that Dean Humphreys was mistaken, that he couldn't be admitted. Wes has gone back to Los Angeles. From Tacoma to Ann Arbor is 2300 miles by the shortest route. * * *. * Paul Stephenson, art director of Robert Henderson's Dramatic Festival, was talking last spring to Edith Barrett, who played the lead in "Another Language." "Would you," said he, "like to go over to the Hut and watch the dancing. It's really quite astound- ing." And he was right. There seem to be two schools of dancing technique among the Ann Arbor High School students who, we hope, are the most consistent attendants at the Fingerle Gymnasium. There is the jig- gety-jig school which necessitates the leader to swing his or her head from side to side like a spectator at a tennis match to keep from running into people and the sleepy ones who don't seem to get anyplace but have a good time not getting there. You must c'mup some time and watch the fun. * *. *. * FRESHMAN JACK OSGOOD walked into the Psi U house the other day, said 'My name's Osgood," said, "How about some bridge," sat down at a table somebody provided, said, "What's the matter with the radio? Doesn't it play?" An- other rushee sat down to dinner at the A.D.Phi house, ate his steak with his fingers, looked up hungrily,,said, "Give me some of those word de- leted rolls." Freshman Al Dewey says he doesn't mind the principle of wearing pots, the only thing that's worrying him, he says, is what he is going to say when he meets all the girls whom he has told that he is an upperclassman. ANNOUNCEMENT OF HENDERSON SHOW IN DETROIT With Ben Hecht's satire of the cinema, "Twen- tie't . ury," Robert Henderson began last night the second week of what should be a highly successful season at the Cass in Detroit. The play marks the final appearances for the current run of Violet Heming and Geoffrey Kerr, and the first appearance of Francis Compton. The show will be presented each night this week and at matinees Wednesday and Saturday. In "Twentieth Century" Playwright Hecht sets himself the difficult task of capturing the tem- perament, glamour, farce, and hysteria which to the man in the streets represent a Broadway- Hollywood cocktail. Judging from the reception the play has had in the East, Mr. Hecht's suc- ceeds in devising first-rate entertainment. Mr. Henderson's production last week was "De- sign for Living," with Violet Heming and Geof- frey Kerr, who were in the. cast when it was given last spring in Ann Arbor (its first presen- tation outside New York). Tom Powers, who had co-starred then with them, was not in the De- troit production. His place was taken by Charles Brokaw. Virtually sold out houses throughout the entire week augur a big season. Ann Arbor theatre-goers will be pleased to learn that the festival idea which Mr. Henderson first tried in Ann Arbor is taking hold on many fronts. From its beginnings here it had already spread, by last year, to Detroit; and now comes the news that its author has been invited to organize fes- tivals duriig the current season in Detroit, Mil- waukee, and Boston. In each city Mr. Henderson intends to keep .definitely away, as in Ann Arbor, from anything like stock company work. "In a .festival," he writes, "artists are constantly changed. Not only the stars but every supporting cast is picked with the greatest care. There is no miscasting as in stock companies. Because of this our audiences are able to see a veritable review of all the more important and interesting acting talent in the theatre today. Sometimes an artist comes for just one or two plays. Sometimes he stays for five or six weeks." Among the offerings at the Cass, not consecu- tively listed, will be "The Late Christopher Bean" and "Criminal at Large," with Florence Reed in each production; "Much Ado About Nothing," which will be done in a gay mood; "Macbeth," with Robert Loraine as MacBeth on a scale that promises novelty; "Romeo and Juliet," with Edith Barrett and Rollo Peters; "Autumn Crocus" that will bring Tom Powers; "Both Your Houses," probably "Dinner at Eight" now scoring a hit in Chicago under the management of Sam H. Har- ris, and among the particularly promising proba- bilities, "Fresh Fields," the Ivor Novello play that is an outstanding London success. I ,r On te Street N OW that the University has opened for another year, the State Street iants will probably make every effort to have ast Side beer controversy revived and, even- to have their licenses granted.
