Her left hand moved over the keyboard like a bunny before a hound. Although the Maedchen can not be accused of being sentimental, or introspective, it was a good progran for her benefit. Perhaps what we need is good shot of technicality, since this is thema- chine age, in our music. Whatever Poldi Mildner attempts, she does it in the grand manner and with a young ardor. Her program put her, herself, in a shadow; so much largesse is palling; never- theless she's an engaging person on the stage and a wizard at the keyboard. -S. P.

Here and there one will find an occasional remark, situation, or shot that will please, but as a whole "All of Me" cannot come up to the higher levels of cinema drama by any stretch of the imagination. A young instructor in a college seems to be in love with one of his pupils, but can't persuade the young lady to marry him ... spoil it all, y'know. The experience of a young couple down in New York's underworld is used to bring them around to the fact that the young man was right in the first place and the young lady was wrong, which only goes to prove the fact that who is usually right anyway? Best remark: Honey remarking, when he has seen that Leila and Ellis are observ- ing him, "Just a coupla mugs down to get a sniff of life!" U. E. L.

FERRIS g e e er. ' EVIVAL of the Annual Union Op- erla this year brings back to the MIchigan campus one of its mot famous and col- orful events -- one that occupies a prominent p e in the mmories of alumni who were here dwing the 4 consecu ve years it was produced. We feel sure that the Opera this year will be so managd that all of the obj'ctions contributing 1 iMks 41scotinuaince in 1929 will be rectified. Some of these were that it was too extravagant, that it had gotten away from the original purpose fOr W ch It was begun, that it has ceased to be an all-student production, and that its local ap- pep1 d teen negleced in the hope of making it Wesemble a metropolitan show. However, according to the statement of policy de. by -those in hiarge, the step this year is to1 0e tirectly away from all these conditions. The show will, have as large a cast; it will be of com- paradle length; but it will be pointed at local a udienes. All of the mechanical features of its staing will e handled by students; extravagant1 scenes .and .costumes 'will be avoided; and it will not attempt to approximate Broadway produc- tins. In short, the producers plan to put on a show th~t, wiU go back to the "old days" when the Qpera's only purpqse was entertainment. It will pp fun for those who ,are in it and for those who see it, and it will be a burlesque of current campus affars. This is going to be our own Opera. And under the Papalme management of Stanley G. Waltz, "anager of the Union, and Milton Peterson, di-' rector, we ar' looking for a really enjoyable take- off on the Michigan of 1934. I1bIfuss1? Voroshilb.v!? Never Heard Of 'Em!.., I T MAY BE SAID without exaggera- tion that it is the duty of every student to inform himself in some way on the p esent Europe , Eurp-Asiatic, Euro-American, and domestic "situation." There are many ways of woing about the serious business of gaining this. There is little hope for the student to clarify him- self on the very deep and very complex issues of the 1934 wo rd through the columns of the daily press; that is, at least, throgh the average news story. We comimend to you the series of articles now running on the front page of The Daily. These ,rticles are being written by men who are vitally Ilya Trauberg's choosing of types according to the Eisenstein's code is reflected strongly in this picture, but the foreign knack for unusual photog- raphy overshines this quality considerably, as does the excitement occurring in the plot. Perhaps the outstanding feature of this pic- ture is the fast-moving photog'raphy, entirely new and original, cluttered with shots of astound- ing appeal heaped one upon another in such rapid succession that no one shot sticks in the observ- er's mind. All of the shots when put together with such care and composition leave a single impression rounding into one conclusion; an en- tirely new but satisfactory one. The casting fits into this rapid photography as Trauberg has chosen his huge cast with great care as each type is cast for its use with accuracy that is seldom seen in movies containing such a large number of characters. The types are made prominent outright and as they fill in their places as the picture develops they become more and more impressive, and thus are easy to recognize. The plot is unique in that it takes place during the passage of the China express from Nanking to Soochow and all its strings are tied together in a knot that is brought out to mean, what is going to happen in China next? Aboard this train are -a group of supposedly distinguished diplomats (they are nothing but villains in the end) plotting an alliance with a Chinese general; opposed by a group of rebels riding in the "coolie" section of the train. The way these two forces are brought to- gether is done cleverly by the insertion of a family episode which arouses our sympathy to the rebel's side and is a good tool to show what sort of thing China is putting up with now-a-days. As a whole this picture will undoubtedly strike one as a little out of the ordinary at the immediate finish but a little careful thought and recollection will soon bring one around to the fact that the Chi- nese studios pave progressed considerably and are without doubt approaching the sort of high- class photography that the Russian and German cinema is now producing and also that such cast- ing and interest as aroused in this particular selection of the Chinese cinema is in many ways superb as well as unusual. "Soviets On Parade" is a panorama of the Russian Army of today, revealing its amazing size and strength under its national "leader" stalin, and much enthusiasm was accorded this bit of fine photography with a cast of some 160-million people. "Pied Piper of Hamlin" does not reach the heights of its predecessor, "The Three Little Pigs," as Disney has allowed sentiment to ,enter in while depicting a nursery tale, but it is clev- erly done in color with the usual Disney knack for portraying more or less "cute" antics. Musical Events IXLDNER CONCERT In Review The superlatives of everyone's vocabulary have been hauled out of storage and applied to Poldi Mildner. Stupendous, prodigious, superb, marvel- ous, unbelievable, such tone, such feeling and so on and so on. They will do nicely, I think, such a spilth of technical grandiosity from a Maedchen, seventeen come Sunday (or whenever it was) is remarkable, and is inescapable. It was always with us, except in the charming Haydn, where the sim- plicity, the vigor, the freshness, and unpreten- tiousness was delicious and appropriate to the Maedchen's feminine self, her own innocence and freshness. Her Teutonic determination to see the thing through, with thoroughness and fervor, with strength and conviction, is what made the bravura numbers intelligible and which made a successful contact with the admiring audience. The latter was with her after she finished the Bach Prelude and Fugue in D Major. Her confidence in herself and what she was doing was youthful and ener- getic; therefore the unconquerable enthusiasm and impetuosity carried the long Schubert Wanderer Fantasie (well-named) the Liszt Rhapsodie Es- pagnole through the maze of technical lavishness to their ultimate conclusions.

REPLY OF THE SECOND NOBLE KINSMAN To the Editor- Of course, the policies of Woodrow Wilson were almost as confused as are the arguments of "A Good American," who recently was dubbed "No. 1", the surname probably having been awarded by the Queen of the D.unciad for good behavior under fire. The late president was a dreamer and like most of his ilk he tended to lose coherence. Dreamers are of vast importance; but their policy should be given more attention than their policies- the individual elements of tait thought often conflict, but the resultant of the oi.dosed forces in their nature is what is ii- portant. Now, the policy of Wilson could not be mistaken for anything other than one of interna- tionalistic peace and prosperity, although his methods were weak, and in at least one case dis- astrous. I feel that the R.O.T.C. has its good points, but its emphasis is a wrong one. My statement is based on two years of service on this campus: the examiner forgot to look at my feet. Rather than stressing the defensive angle of its purpose, the R.O.T.C hints strongly in its curriculum that its end is both defensive and offensive - with per- haps greater empnasis being laid on the latter. A country that will not defend itself if invaded is spineless; but a nation which will invade another on any pretext is vicious. In medieval times the world was pestered by a malignant disease known as feudalism. Unfortu- nately, the world today is one glorified mass of feudal states; reduced to lowest terms, it can be called no more than that. There is, however, a spreading leaven of internationalistic enlighten- ment, which can result in salvation - if it is not neutralized by "patriotic" emphasis upon arm- ament. I shduild like to be able to reply to "A Good American's" letters point by point, but with ex- aminations imminent, I haven't time to probe his texts for the points which I am sure he must have hidden therein. If he will assist me by writing a letter in which hi points are clearly stated, I shall be only too haippy to present my angle to him. I feel rather a proprietary interest in "A Good American", and I am sorry I can't take his sug- gestion that I return to Russia. I have never cared for my fatherland since shaving became a national institution there. - The Second Noble Kinsman Collegiate Observer Af0 -2% AHR 316 STATE STREET I''I DANEE UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE atthe Ir MICHIGAN LEAGUE SATURDAY NIGHT featuring HAROLD SI N DLES BILL MARSHALL'S ORCH ESTRA Ross HARGER, directing any.( the QUAY SI STERS 9-12 $1 00 THERE WILL BE NO DANCE FRIDAY MMMWARMPMP By BUD BERNARD The newest thing in college subsidization was uncovered recently when Duke University and the University of Virginia protested the eligibility of a piccolo player in the bandof the University of North Carolina.
