The distinct hit of the evening was the "Hun- garian Fantasy." In this Joseph Brinkman, Leon- ard Falcone, and the Varsity band combined their' talents, to make a very colorful performance. In word of praise to N. Falcone, who is sick in New York, may we say that the Fantasy as arranged for band by him did not suffer when compared to thy original treatment for orchestra. Nor can we be too lavish in our praise of Mr. Brinkman who gave a faultless interpretation, as he has done many times before. This work which proved to be the best received on the program, needed com- plete co-operation between soloist, conductor and band, and most important is the fact that it re- ceived it. Mr. Falcone's direction was faultless, and at all times achieved the effect that he was after. Thanks again to Mr. Brinkman and to Leonard Falcone and the band for the fine per- formance, _W. B. SUNDAY AFTERNOON Mrs. Mabel Ross Rhead and the University Symphony orchestra pre- sented a program which combined the brilliance, intensity, and glorious peace associated with the Easter season. Constant solor variety and rapid alterations of mood so prominent in Rimsky-Kor- sakow's "Russian Easter" met a sharp contrast in the intensity and, sustained quality of the Par- sifal "Prelude." The University symphony or- chestra played the "Russian Easter" excellently. Mr. Moore received all the co-operation he could have wished for. The Wagner music was not as successful. The orchestra allowed the prelude to become chopped up so that thle music seemed to "sag" instead of sustaining, the emotional pitch which is so neces- sary for powerful effect. Mrs. Rhead and the orchestra played as the conclusionto the concert the difficult Tschaikow- sky "B-Flat Minor Piano Concerto." Mrs. Rhead's forceful, playing combined with the strength of the orchestra resulted in a very effective inter- pretation. The first two movements, both marked allegro, were played without pause. The brilliance f these movements almost labels them Liszt. The beautiful andantino semplice which follows was one of the climaxes of the concert. The simple lyricism of this movement, placed between the loud, splendid, and exciting introductory and con- cluding passages, demands a great change in the artist's interpretation. Mrs. Rhead caie so nat- urally and swiftly down to this andantino that it became a true climax. The allegro con fuoco which follows the andantino brought the concerto to a tremendous conclusion. The interesting program, the playing of the or- chestra, and the excellent interpretation of Mrs. Rhead all combined to make this one the most successful faculty concerts of the year. -W. P.

"MURMURING MICHIGAN" NOT FAIR TO CO-EDS To the Editor: As Others See It A WORD FOR THE WEATHER FORECASTERS Believe it or not, the weather forecasters are batting between .850 and .900, and that it a figure god enough for any league. Dr. C. C. Clark, acting chief of the United States Weather Bureau, says so. It is ex parte testimony, and no doubt many of the malcontents who are always throwing figura- tive bricks at the forecaster would like to cross- examine him. We, for one, are willing to let it go at that. We have been known to mutter on such occasions, for example, as when "fair and warmer" turns up, as Mr. Shakespeare used to say, in "thunder, lightning and in rain," but even Babe Ruth strikes out, even Homer nodded and Napoleon lived to witness Waterloo. -St. Lonis Post-Dispatch Screen Reflcti0ns AT THE MICHIGAN ,qr "SPITFIRE" Ne M INCLUDING BIOGRAPHY, TR AVEL, POLITICS, ETC.

Stafford .............Robert Young Q. Fleetwood ...........Ralph Bellamy Etta Dawson .............. Sara Haden "Spitfire" itself is not an exceptional picture, but Katharine Hepburn's characterization over- shadows its weak spots and makes it highly rec- ommendable.. This young lady is difficult to speak of, because she has a charm that is akin to Gar- bo's, but she is by no means limited to that. She is saturated with an ability and a versatility so rare and remarkable that it makes one wonder how high the greatest height is that such an actress can achieve. In "Spitfire" Hepburn is a strange young moun- tain girl,; living alone in a cabin in the woods. Her neighbros ostracize her because she has been rumored to have the powers of a witch. Near her cottage a dam is being built, and two of the men in charge come into contact with her through her escapades about the dam and because of her bat- tles with her fellow mountaineers. Secretly she prays for the health and well-being of her neigh- bors, and she is so full of faith that she seems to produce miraculous results. However, she gets into trouble when she steals a baby in order to nurse it to health. The plot of this picture lacks a fullness and completeness that would have made it a work of art. There are sequences that are handled weak- ly, and the subordinate characterizations are so thin that their importance in the picture is some- what confusing, because they are brought in and dropped rather mechanically, and they are not given the depth that is needed to round the. pic- ture out. This has been done, of course, to focus the attention on Hepburn, and since it is Hepburn, it is almost forgivable. If you have seen her in "Christopher Strong," "Little Women," "Morn- Glory," and any of her other pictures, you will be able to appreciate her genuine sincerity as a real actress of the most valuable sort. "Spitfire" proves that she does not need clothes, back- ground, or. eccentricity to bring her out. She is simple, charming, and alive in anything she does. A word should be said for Sara Haden's por- trayal. As the ignorant, dumb mountain girl she performs beautifully, and adds a contrast that is effective in bringing out hepburn's characteriza- tion. Robert Young and Ralph Bellamy are good as far as it is allowed them, but their opportunities are not as great as they could be. -C.B. C.

FERRIS -"meter ir Lm Ian( ReviewI Makes Its Appearance ... U NOFFICIAL student publications are usually short-lived; but a mag- azine of a good deal of vision and solidity is cur-' rently making its first appearance, and, at the' same time, a strong bid for permanency. This is The Inland Review, a literary quarterly, the con- tents of which are divided between creative writ- ing and critical opinion. The title immediately suggests that of The Inlander, existent on campus several years ago; and, in fact The Inland Review is intended partly to carry on the functions of its predecessor. The present magazine, however, is in all respects in- dependent of the defunct publication; it is not a revival, but a new literary venture. A university campus without a student literary magazine is rather a sorry spectacle. This has been the condition of the University of Michigan for too long a while. All honor and success to Editor Coon and his enterprise. Musical Events VIOLIN GRADUATION RECITAL TONIGHT Sonata for Piano and Violin . ...

BAND CONCERT IN REVIEW, IF IT HAS not been proven heretofore that Michigan has a capable concert band within its folds, it was proven beyond doubt last night. I am writing you to say that I am sorry youl did not see fit, in your editorial on the article "Murmuring Michigan" appearing in Saturday Evening Post," to make mention of the very scur- rilous manner in which the young women on the Campus were written about. While it is not neces- sarily your duty to defend them, still it would seem, fitting and, suitable that any editorial appearing should mention something about it, and I am regretting that you did not, for this reply may go to. places in answer to -the "Post" article, and stand for the "come back" of the University. As a former graduate living here for the time, I am interested in the reputation and the action of the University where I received so much. Al-, though I was in the Medical Department where we were obliged to work hard, I had many friends who lived where I did, in the Alpha Phi House. This was in 1898-1901, a long time ago. I have followed the accounts of Michigan since, and can recall many brilliant students among the girls some of whom have made a name for themselves and have been an honor to the University. I can mention physicians of reputation all over the country, and I know of them as I have been on National Committees and have met many of them at meetings of the A.M.A. and other scientific and medical bodies, even abroad in time of the War where they distinguished themselves. One gradu- ate, Dr. Bertha VanHoesen, has a large part of the largest hospital in Chicago; her clinics are attended by medical students and I have heard that she pays an income tax on over $1,000,000 all due to her own efforts. Others are prominent and have large and important practises and posi- tions. Dr. Eliza Mosher, the first Dean of Women,! was prominent and respected in her Brooklyn home. This is of course not the Department criticized by the man writing in the "Post." But, to picture the women of this University as exhibiting themselves in "Hairpin curves" in a dancing restaurant and to say little further ex- cept to mention overdressing is to say the least superficial, do you not think? I think the numer- ous women filling teaching positions of impor- tance upon graduation, the many married and influential in their localities as leaders in edu- cation and thought, should have been described in the making here. Then, too, the girls who have won the Hop- wood prizes surely might have had some mention as coming from the despised "Literary Depart- ment." I recall the reputation made by a per- sonal friend of mine in college, who wrote "The Father" and won a large prize among many other stories and novels printed in the best mag- azines in the country for years-Katherine Hol- HILL AUDITORIUM Wednesday Evening, May 9 Collegiate Observer During a politeness survey at the University of Illinois, the question "Could you tell the correct time?" was asked of girls from various sororities. The following answers were received: Alpha Chi - "We're fresh out." A. D. Pi -"Time for you to hang up." Alpha Phi -"Go jump in the lake." Tri Delt -- "What do you think this is, Bulova Watch?" Kappa Delta - "Wot? I haven't the slightest idea." Kappa Alpha Theta--"All right, what's the gag?" Fifteen sororities gave the correct time. Here's good advice to co-eds, coming from one who knows at Ohio State University: Never let a fool kiss you and never let a kiss fool you.
