NIGHT EDITOR: GUY M. WHIPPLE, JR. Inland Review Also A Business. . ' HE RECENT announcement that the Inland Review will not be published until enough subscriptions have been received to make the effort financially possible is indeed disheartening. The announced purpose of the magazine is highly commendable and deserves only the greatest support. According to the editor, the success of the venture depends upon the number of persons who evince enough interest in seeing such a periodical established at Michigan to contribute one dollar for its sup- port. It seems scarcely plausible that there are not enough students and faculty members at the University to insure the reality of the magazine. In the best of faith, therefore, we call the attention of the Inland Review to the fact that any magazine, whether it is an anthology of poetry or a trade journal, is in part a business venture and must be treated as such. If this journal is to make its appearance, and it must do so at a near date if it is to have more than one issue this year, the editor has no other alter- native than to actually solicit subscriptions on the campus. It is not difficult to see that such an under- taking is bound to be difficult for one person to handle. Maybe the editor should select a group of persons, either student or faculty or both, who are sincerely interested in the magazine-cer- tainly they are available-to aid him in this work. There can be little doubt that, by introducing this business plan, enough subscriptions would be gathered to provide for prompt publication of the first issue. That enough subscriptions have not been received by mail is certainly no true indication that the requisite amount could not be raised if the campus were properly canvassed. Enough praise cannot be given the editor for attempting to fill an important University need, But to make for the success of this project, every, possible effort should assuredly be expended. Of Immortality. . A CATHOLIC, a Jew, three Protes- tants, and a professional Philoso- pher arce going to tell us, via the columns of this paper, what they believe about Immortality. It will be intensely interesting to see what these men, all of whom have given a great deal of G OVERNOR COMSTOCK'S veto of the proposed charter amendment which would repeal the East of Division beer ban came as quite a shock to many persons who had not considered such a possibility, but it is not surprising when one considers that it is not inconsistent with the stand that the state ad- ministration has taken all along. We have believed from the beginning that At- torney-General O'Brien was correct in his opinion that the state liquor act had already repealed the charter amendment. The state act states definitely that all local acts conflicting with it are repealed. It also very definitely vests the sole police power over the liquor traffic to the state liquor control commission. We believe that the coming election is unnecessary from this point of view. On the other hand, the coming election will give the people a chance to state their wishes in the matter. Even if the election. proves illegal, that one thing will have been accomplished. It will at least be interesting to have a competent referendum. We believe that the proposed char- ter amendment will be passed by an overwhelming majority and the issue will be settled once for all. Whether the beer ban has been repealed once or twice will not mean anything. The Theatre LOVE VERSUS AMBITION: "ELIZABETH THE QUEEN" By JOHN W. PRITCHARD "ELIZABETH THE QUEEN" does not exactly scintillate; yet it is brilliant. In places it becomes almost fiery; always it is sympathetic in its treatment both of the old queen who is in love with the youthful Essex but cannot allow her love to interfere with statecraft, and of the torrid young Essex who passionately (and para- doxically) loves this old woman, but places above his love the ardor of his ambition. Originally done by Fontanne and Lunt, this Maxwell Ander- son play is by far the most important of Play Production's play productions so far this sea- son. It will be presented tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre. Mr. Anderson has succeeded rarely in catching the Elizabethan spirit. The long word-plays, which form so delightful a part of Shakespearian com- edy, are prominent here. There is also a satis- factory portion of court intrigue, with dashing Raleigh and shrewd Cecil pitted against the tur- bulent Essex. A fine piece of suspense machinery, which is at the same time entertaining, is the introduction of Burbage and others of the origi- nal Shakespearian crew to play a Falstaff scene, while Elizabeth paces nervously, waiting for Es- sex (who lies in the Tower awaiting death) to send her some word which will result in his par- don. According to reports from Play Production, the set for the drama is filled with the massively simple Tudor atmosphere. Before the almost stern scenic background the characters, colorful in their authentic Elizabethan costuming, stand out in bright pleasaunce. Immense care has been taken in the production. It has been noticeable in the past that campus dramatic groups are at their best when the vehicle is worthy: custom, at least, would forecast a fine presentation. va ce Screen Reflections ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Campus opinion Letters published in this column should not be con- strued as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

REGENTS' SALARIES, FACULTY CUTS, CLOSED LIBRARIES In an article entitled "Keep Libraries Open Sun- days," in The Michigan Daily of March 4, is the following statement: "The State cut the Univer- sity appropriation and the University authorities, forced to reduce expenditures to the bone, found that it would be impossible to continue the Sun- day library. The fault for the library's closing hours, in other words, rests with the State Legis- lature." With the decrease in the tax money provided by the State of Michigan, the State Legislature was forced to reduce appropriations on every hand, the State University as well as other insti- tutions was given a decreased allotment, and I understand they sent an accompanying resolution asking that none of the personnel be dropped, but each be given a reduction. The cut for the library was 23 per cent (the largest I am told), and "the library was forced to drop 20 full-time members." Thus were the wishes of the legisla- tures carried out. Many investments have been wiped out entirely, and wouldn't these investors be most happy to accept a mere 25 per cent cut? When the necessity for curtailment of U. S. ex- penses came, the then President of the United States set the example by taking his 25 per cent cut, and I understand the same excellent example was set in our own institution. If the members of the Board of Regents, each drawing $6,000,* did likewise, it has been kept a dark secret. Fair- ness would seem to dictate that cuts be made where they can best be borne -- among those above the living wage class; and yet I understand that many of the lower paid assistant professors were dropped entirely, and the information as to how many of the higher paid members of the staff took their 25 per cent cuts has not yet been made public. This information would be of interest to the taxpayers of the State, who, no doubt, will find it difficult to understand why the library hours must be curtailed to the incon- venience of the student body for the lack of $375 unless the students themselves contribute the amount. -Former Student.

Evelyn Venable Polly .............Louise Dresser John..............Kent Taylor . As a small town bachelor banker, who is above all else a lovable old sentimentalist except when he is concerned with horse trading, Will Rogers gives us his latest characterization. While it is typically Will Rogers, it is real enough to be con-t sidered uniquely worth while in its own right ast a good piece of acting. It definitely surpassesc his past performances not only because of hisc efforts, but because of the superiority of the rest of the picture., "David Harum" is excellently planned, andi intelligently executed. The chief plot, which isi supported by several delightfully interwoven sub- plots, is concerned with the Gay Nineties romance4 of two New Yorkers, one a wealthy young girl who spends her summers in the little town of Homewood, N. Y., and the other a youth who has been jilted by his fiancee because he lost all his money in the panic of '93. David Harum is the town's banker, and he has been the mentor of, the girl ever since she began to come to Home- wood. When she falls in love with the youth that David has hired to be his bookeeper and general handy man, David spends a great deal of his time and interest in making a match between the two. "David Harum" is filled with high spots. Some of the most noteworthy are the series of well varied, clever horse trading scenes, the unusual insight shown in depicting the homely small town life of the nineties, the excellent intermingling of the different relations that David Harum has with the other characters, the freshness of Evelyn Venable's acting, the presence of the ever-lacka- daisical Stepin Fetchit, the horse race which furnishes the climax, the good direction, and the subtle lightness of the picture's general atmosphere. There is one element present in "David Harum" BY KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON-The Roosevelt technique for dealing with congress came to its severest test as the first year of his presidency closed. Faced by a house drive to pay off the soldier bonus now and an overwhelming senate vote to cut deeply into ordinary budget "economy" savings by restoration of veterans' benefits and federal pay slashes, the President seemed headed toward his first real clash with congress. Open threats of veto failed' to stem the election-year trend- in either house. * * *: THERE are certain factors in the situation hinting at an ultimate compromise which might avoid use of the veto. It is notable that once a test vote was had in the senate on the coalition plan which downed the administration compromise on veterans' benefits, no further administration effort was made to prevent loading the bill. The only other vote of record taken was on the Long proposal to append the bonus payment, and Senator Long himself called for the show- down on that. It was beaten four to one but that is no true estimate of the senate's attitude. Ardent bonus payment champions viewed the Long amendment as calculated to destroy the bill. They spoke and voted against it. JN THE house, some signers of the discharge petition intend to about-face and vote against taking up the bill. If the bonus bill does come to a vote, present estirpates give it a majority of 20 to 30 votes, nowhere near enough to beat a veto. Administration leaders in the house are now determined to force that vote. That will put it up to the senate with all its currency inflation implications. The theory is that republican old guardsmen who helped shape - the senate revolt on economy bill cuts in veterans' benefits will find themselves, in turn, on the spot. Collegiate Observer pill { By BUD BERNARD The Kentucky Cardinal reports that a psycho- logical examination conducted at Rockford Wom- en's College resulted in the classification of "un- popularity" as the. greatest fear among the first year students. The runner-up among the fears was that of suspicious men. From one end of the swing to the other it seems to us. Our advice to the girls is, overcome the second-place fear and the first will automatically vanish. A Harvard man has invented an aid to smell, which seems unnecessary: Almost ev- erything smells to a Harvard man as it is. The students at the University of North Caro- lina have taken a step towards freedom. Recent
