THE MICHIGAN DAILY i CHIGAN DAILY -- , . -.}, r r room on the Seattle stage. The actors, rushed to 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. !L4 lkTm-t IgN+k Six.. . t'- When the last curtain fell, the audience burst into cheers and the players received the most extra- ordinary ovation experienced during the long the career of "The Barretts of Wimpole Street."

NIGHT EDITOR: E. JEROME PETTIT 1 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- 5a i r the thatre in the hnne that Miss Cor- Screen Reflections Four stars means extraordinary; three stars definitely recommended; two stars, average; one star, inferior; no stars, stay away from it. 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.

STATE STREET MAIN STREET I~ ED 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, Collegiate Observer 01 - --- - ~ - By BUD BERNARD 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- demned."
