the playhouse in taxis, did not stop to open the
great pile of Christmas presents waiting for them,
but hurried into their costumes. Finally the cut-
tain rose at one o'clock the morning after the
Christmas night schedule for Miss Cornell's first
f appearance in Seattle.
"The thousand and more spectators, who
patiently had sat five hours to see Miss Cornell,
gave her a rousing welcome when the curtain
rose showing her as Elizabeth Barrett reclining
on her couch. For a moment no one was able to
speak; then the performance proceeded. It was
four o'clock when Elizabeth at last escaped with
Flush under her arm from her London home.

the career of "The Barretts of Wimpole Street."

Norman Thomas
Lecture Tonight...'
T ONIGHT the campus and residents1
of Ann Arbor will again have the
opportunity to hear one of the most talented]
speakers and able thinkers of the present genera-1
tion in the person of Norman Thomas, chieftain
of the Socialist party of America.
Two years ago the crowd which turned out to'
hear him was so much larger than could be seated
in Natural Science Auditorium where his address
had originally been scheduled to take place, that
it was necessary to move to Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre, and even then nearly three hundred
persons had to be turned away from the doors.
The lecture tonight is to be given in Hill Audito-
rium, the largest place available.
Mr. Thomas is to speak on "Students and
Social Revolution." In the present time of crisis
and social change it is hard to think of a more
fitting subject.
It will be interesting to hear what the speaker
will have to say about the reputedly socialistic
tendencies of the persent national government.
Much that is called "socialistic" in national policy
he will decry as not socialistic at all, but there
should also be much that he will be able to praise.
Those of us who have not had time to read all
his recent comments are eager to learn his inter-
pretation, bound to be stimulating, of the present
direction of our government.
One may not agree with all of Mr. Thomas'
views, but it is impossible to deny that he pos-
sesses a keen mind and a magnificent platform
personality. To hear him is at the very least to
be both stirred and broadened.
The Theatre
m-
ROM Seattle, Washington comes the following
story, demonstrating not only the personal
popularity of Katherine Cornell but also the inter-
est of the American public in a good stage show:
"For five hours the audience which packed the
Metropolitan Theatre in Seattle to see Katherine
Cornell make her debut in the Northwest waited
for the arrival of the actress and her company,
delayed by the terrific storms which have flooded
the state of Washington. Though no definite
news as to whether it would be possible to stage
a performance that night could be announced
until after the audience had been over two hours
in the playhouse, yet the playgoers cheerfully re-

AT THE MICHIGAN
"TILLIE AND GUS"
**
Tillie Winterbottom ..Alison Skipworth
Gus Winterbottom ......... W. C. Fields
"Tillie and Gus," is filled with the W. C. Fields
humor, and the usual Alison Skipworth lady-like
gambling, robbing. The combination found in "If
I Had a Million" is engaged in antics of the same
sort found in that show and throughout "Tillie
and Gus" the clever tricks of W. C. Fields and
subtle remarks of Skipworth prove to be the sav-
ing of the young couple known as the Sheridans.
Their stepping into a mess that a crooked lawyer
(perhaps the word lawyer would suffice there, by
the way) had set up is undone when the Winter-
bottoms, "who have smelled a rat," take over the
"Fairy Queen," a house boat, and beat the fox at
his own game by winning a race with a rival boat
for the mortgage of the Sheridan's house.
Humorous is Gus Winterbottom's trial up in
Alaska; Tillie Winterbottom's missionary work*
in China; the fire-works during the race; the
newspaper cameramen backing up to get the pic-
ture of the finish as he calmly backs off the
dock; the satire on the small-town crowd; and
the poker game aboard the train.
The added attractions have hit a new high . . .
in numbers of attractions offered, four in all, in-
cluding the News, a Travelogue on Dutch Guinea,
a rather rough comedy featuring Eugene Pa-
lette, and a Boswel Sister short in which Connie
sings a lion into submission. And so we take leave
of this review hoping to return once again when
"Duck Soup" comes to town Saturday.
As Others See It
AM4
COMMUNITY RESPONSE
Enlistments by communities in the Mobiliza-
tion for Human Needs, as announced by Newton
D. Baker, chairman of the national committee,
have been wholly voluntary and not under draft.
Especially encouraging is the fact that the total
raised or in definite prospect has so closely ap-
proached the amount named last September as
the goal for the community chests. The sum then
agreed upon was $73,000,000-an amount equal
to the 1929 budget. Already over $50,000,000 has
been obtained in 195 community-chest campaigns
and it is expected that the remaining 155 com-
munity campaigns will increase this to $64,000,000.
The joint campaigns in non-chest cities, including
New York, Chicago and Boston, should carry the
total beyond $80,000,000. In some cities the goals
were reached or exceeded, as in St. Paul, Minn.,
and in Hartford, Conn. The States beyond the
Mississippi were, "on the whole," "more success-
ful in reaching their scheduled goals." This is
accepted as indicating an economic pick-up in the
farm belt.
As in New York, so in many other cities, the
mobilized interest and activity of the women have
been responsible for the success of the appeals.
As the President said when the plans were being
made under the direction of the former Secretary
of War: "We have to build from the bottom and
not merely supply food from the top down"-
that is, from the Federal Government. The foun-
dation for human needs must be built by human
sympathy, and, deepest of all, by that of women.
Mrs. Roosevelt has had, as Mr. Baker said, an
important part in this campaign, furnishing a
leadership which has been an inspiration to all
communities, even where there have not been
separate women's committees.
The goal is still far ahead, but the strength
with which the advance has been made gives as-
surance that it will be reached and that private
philanthropy will still do its part.
-The New York Times
ter several months ago in the Michigan Law Re-
view. He said:
The direct way to prevent these evasions of
justice by undoubted felons 'would be by re-
peal, either by legislation or decision, of the
rule that evidence secured by unlawful arrest
is unusable....ynfortunately, judicial deci-
sion has probably gone too far for such a
remedy. Courts are unlikely to epudiate
frankly the rule of exclusion they have so
repetitously est a bl1i sh ed. And legislation
would put them in a most embarrassing
position. Because they have rested their rule,
however speciously, upon the Constitution,
they could not sustain such a statute without
conceding their own mistaken interpretation
of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court has done what Prof. Watie,
and probably most well-informed jurists, would
have predicted. It has followed the precedents; it
has fallen back on the Constitution. The remedy,
then, can lie surely only in an amendment to the
Constitution defining more clearly what consti-
tutes a "reasonable" search, and making usable
in the courts evidence disclosed by a search of
known "public enemies." Criticism of the courts
avails nothing, they are doing their duty as they
see it, and upholding the laws to the best of their
ability. The people themselves must change the
laws - in this instance the fundamental law -
for their own protection.
A Washington
BYSTANDER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON-- Senator George Norris rates
consideration as the supreme optimist of po-
litical life. Three decades of practical experience
have not dimmed his hope that "politicians" can
one day be divorced completely from river and
harbor development undertakings.
Norris saw to it that a start was made with
the Roosevelt-Norris Tennessee valley develop-
ment project. He wrote into TVA a penalty for
political intervention in behalf of jobs for con-
stituents or promotions for friends of politicians
already under TVA. It is the most drastic provi-
sion of that sort ever put on the statute books.
Plan Working Too Well?
ONE trouble about that, as Norris presently will
find when he forwards his next project - pos-
sibly the Missouri valley -for TVA treatment,
is that to date everything seems to be working as
planned. If the Norris anti-politician rule in
TVA was not working, there would not be such
a rumble of disfavor audible in congressional
circles.
And that is apt to make many a member balky
about adding another great economic and sociolo-
gical experiment to the government program just
now.
* "4*
THE White House has been rather significantly
silent about TVA ever since that business got
under way. It has been left very much to the
Tennessee valley authority although it was origi-
nally a pre-inauguration Roosevelt idea.
Just why that is, nobody seems to know exactly,
Perhaps the fact that Federal Job Czar Farley has
not been able to make any use of TVA to put
party faithfuls on the pay-roll has had some-
thing to do with.
e *
SENATOR NORRIS may or may not have had
Farley in mind when he talked about prying
politicians permanently away from such great
public works projects as river developments. About
the same time he suddenly discovered it was bad
policy for a cabinet -officer with a big executive
job to run, like heading the post office depart-
ment, also to be chairman of a party national
committee.
Farley fills that bill, with some other political
assignments to boot. For all Norris' support of
advice on that peculiarly party-organization ques-
Roosevelt before and since election, however, his
advice on that peculiarly party-organization is
apt to fall on deaf ears.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
TO WEAKEN GUNMEN
THE Supreme Court, by a vote of 5 to 3, has up-
held the action of Judge Scallen in dismissing
Sam Sein and Joe Massei, arrested by Detroit
policemen who found a revolver concealed in the
taxicab in which they were riding. That decision
was probably expected by most of the Recorder's
Court judges; it was anticipated by the advice
given Judge Scallen by Judge Brennan, whose
opinion was asked, and it is in line with the pre-
cedents which are founded on the provision of the
Constitution which guarantees the people against
unreasonable searches and seizures.
Nevertheless, three justices of the Supreme
Court insisted that the prisoners should not have'
been released, and Justice Fead, who wrote the
controlling decision, admitted that the law as it
stands favors the gunmen and the enemy of soci-
ety.
Since no reasonable citizen can favor placing
in the hands of the police a power that could be
abused, the remedy lies not in demanding from
the Sunreme Court a new construction of the law,

It seems as though Intercollegiate Balls are
are all the rage. At the ball given by the
greeks at the University of Maryland, the
co-eds wore old tennis shoes, saying that they
were tired of ruining formal slippers every
time they went to a dance.
Even a man's shirt isn't safe these days from
the clutches of the co-eds. Just to be different, a
group of them at the University of Virginia stop-
ped every male they could and obtained his shirt
either by permission or by force. They then hung
the shirts on a clothes line in the middle of the
campus and wrote on them with large blue letters
"Welcome Alumni," in honor of the homecoming
alums.

The speech students at Pacific Union College
recently held a debate, the question of which was,
"Resolved: That hitch hiking should be con-

negative was upheld.
