NIGHT EDITOR: A. ELLIS BALL Again The May Fesivl... O NCE AGAIN THE MAY FESTIVAL puts in its welcome appearance.] This years is undoubtedly one of the most, difficult the Festival has had to face, yet1 again the standards of previous Festivals is main-I tained. It is 'seldom that a group of artists of the calibre of those who will perform here during the1 coming week can be heard at such popular prices1 and under the favorable conditions of a festival. Much of the felicity of the Festival is the result of the degree to which it is educational. The par ticipation in it of the Choral Union and the YoungI People's Chorus enables it to fulfill the purpose ofl the University, for both the college and the grade school students who are members of these groups1 acquire through the festival not only the feelingt for performance but also the capacity of appre- ciation. . Congratulations are most certainly due the man- agers.E tax, the liquor tax and others, cities and counties are dependent solely upon the collection which they make from the delinquent taxes of preceding years and the current taxes. In planning to meet- future obligations, the City Council must depend upon estimated receipts from tax collections. With what assurance may a mu- nicipality face the future if it must fear that the State government may at any time sweep away its regular income? And what can be said of forcing municipalities throughout the state into financial exigencies when the action does not accomplish its avowed purpose? Although the Moore-Holbeck Bill was designed to prevent home-owners from losing their homes because of failure to meet tax obligations, it was shown in a recent survey made here by the Michigan Municipal League that the majority of property on which delinquent taxes had accumu- lated was unimproved. Thus, the bill, rather than protecting home-owners, is endangering the finan- cial structure of cities simply to protect speculators in real-estate. Furthermore, taxpayers, outside of a certain few who were in legitimate straits, are not bene- fited by such action. By permitting the unpaid taxes to accumulate until they present a real finan- cial emergency, when the lump sum of several taxes comes due, the State may find that home- owners will be hurt rather than aided. What simple taxpayer would be so foolish as to pay his taxes promptly while there remains the possibility that the State Legislature may grant some further favor? Thus the city, with sufficient money rightfully due it, and with which it could honorably discharge its debts, may be forced to refinance the bond issue when it comes due. Musical Events FOUR NEW RECORD RELEASES "Pleasure Dome of Kublai Khan" by Charles Griffes recorded by the Minneapolis Sym- phony Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy; Victor 7957 A-B. "Sonata for Violin and Piano by Richard Strauss," recorded by Jascha Heifitz and Arpad Sandor; Victor Master Series, M-200, 7974-5-6-7. Two songs sung by Rose Bampton: "In the Luxembourg Gardens" (Manning) and "A Song for Lovers" (from "Three Songs") by Deems Taylor; Victor 1648 A-B. Two Songs sung by Richard Crooks: "My Song Goes 'Round the World," (Kennedy-May) and "O Song Divine" (St. Ives-Temple); Victor 1647 A-B. THERECENT RELEASES of the Victor RCA Company have among them four works that contribute in individual ways to a record library. "The Pleasure Dome of Kublai Khan," written by the late Charles Griffes, American musician, is a pictorial setting for the verse of S. T. Coleridge, beginning: In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. Griffes' tone-poem gives a langorous, oriental feeling for the atmosphere indicated by the word- poem. It is of the Debussy-Ravel type, perhaps not' as pretentious, but well done in "mingled meas- ures." The recording itself is clear and warm. , The Strauss Sonata is a first recording. The com- poser of "Emn Heldenleben," being played at the May Festival Saturday, wrote only one violin son- ata, and that early in his career. Before that he had written a violin concerto in D. This Sonata, grandly recorded by Heifitz and Sandor, (Heifitz was here for last year's festival), foreshadows in many spots the later Strauss, particularly in the last movement with its joyous upward progression and rhythmic importance. The second movement,j "Improvisation; Andante Contabile," is impromptu in effect, rather secretive, moving into a middle portion of excitement, then to a bright repartee between the instruments. Of the two groups of songs you will probably like the Bampton recordings better, unless a con- tralto (mezzo-soprano) is one of the things you don't like. The poems are better; to begin with the music is better, so that with Miss Bampton's pure voice the songs are enchanting. Crooks sings with great feeling the two ballad-like songs, accom- panied by orchestra. He has a powerful voice, and you can understand every word. If you'll hear these records you can find out for yourself the individual qualities which I have mer'ely indicated.--Saly Place. The Band, under Leonard Falcone, with Joseph Brinkman, soloist, is playing in Detroit at the Naval Armory tonight. Screen Reflections AT TIlE MAJESTIC -- "BOLERO" Raoul . . .......... . . . .......George Raft Helen .. . .. . . . ..........Carole Lombard Mike ........ . ... . .....William Frawley Directed by ............ Wesley Ruggles Amateur night at a nickleodeon, 1910: Young, cock-sure Raoul DeBaere "gets the hook" in his second attempt to put himself over as a dancer. But Raoul will not accept defeat. He is sure he has what it takes.i Thus opens Paramount's latest feature to reach town. It is kind of stringy in that the scenes are none too well knit together, but on the whole Director Ruggles has turned out a pretty good show that is above the average in entertain- ment value inasmuch as its photography is beau- tiful, its acting capable, and its dancing graceful if not exactly intricate. Raoul realizes that a female partner is needed to give the act flash and color, but has trouble with each of his short-lived partners because they in- sist on falling in love with him. Consistent with his principle that "you can't mix business with pleasure," he has numerous partners until he teams up with a girl, Helen, whose ideas on the subject are much the same. They hit it off swell, rising gradually to great success as a dancing team in the most exclusive night clubs on the continent, until Raoul slips and falls for Helen. But his pride keeps him from letting her know until it is a bit too late. The climax of the film is effectively con- structed and is sincerely the most intense point in the narrative. Reaching stardom for the first time, George Raft manages to evade the sleekly-gigilo type he has hitherto portrayed. Consequently he is much more natural and likable. Much money was spent in reproducing with accuracy the nickelodeon of the past, the Hoboken beer gardens of the tales we heard tell on our mother's lap but never saw, and the night salons of the pre-war Paris. No doubt much more money was spent than was necessary. It is an old Hollywood habit that insists on going the limit as far as clothes and scenery go, but pinches when the studio help and extras demand higher salaries. -J.C.S.

Accompanist PALMER CHRISTIAN Organist AT THE WHITNEY "BEGGARS IN ERMINE" ** The Whitney offering for this week-end is not as unpreposessing as its title sounds. "Beggars in Ermine" is an unusual story built around the mis-' fortunes of the manager of a steel mill. The man, portrayed quite convincingly by Lionel Atwill, is ruined by an enemy by means of having molten steel accidentally dropped on the ground near him, splattering his legs, and making him a cripple. His wife deserts him, taking his daughter with her. He becomes a begger and organizes hundreds of other beggars to form a sort of profit-sharing union. His purpose in life is to find his daughter, support her secretly, and eventually get revenge on his enemies. The subsequent situations are well thought out and developed into a successful climax which is handled with a dexterity that puts the picture above the ordinary standard of its type, There are definitely weak spots present, but not enough of them to drag the story down to an inferior level. The cast supporting Mr. Atwill is satisfyingly capable, and, in all, "Beggars in Er- mine" is an acceptable picture. -C.B.C. Coleite Obsef:rver By BUD BERNARD A professor of the forestry department at the University of California offered prospective fire- fighters this bit of sane advice: "The main thing to remember in fighting a forest fire," he told his class last week, "is to keep cool." At the Los Angeles Junior College students taking a history test were asked to state briefly the Monroe Doctrine. The laurel wreath went to him who answered, "Scram, foreigners." * * * * Members of a world-famed prohibition organi- zation have recently entered their objections to the use of wine-flavored lipsticks "because young co- eds and high school girls are the ones who will buy these lipsticks." to "make the story as dirty as you can."* (The re- porter has admitted this. There are thirty wit- nesses.) Why does the Daily want to expel these students? Because some went in to make a sociological study of what happens when a city government tramples under foot the Constitutional guarantees of free speech and free assemblage to the people of the United States. Because others wanted tangibly to show their sympathy with Detroiters who were American enough to resent this brazen denial of their rights as citizens. That is whom The Daily wants to expel. But I am wrong. I don't believe The Daily wants this. I don't believe the majority of students who faithfully work on The Daily want this. And I know the great student body who support and read The Daily, whose paper it is supposed to be, do not want this. Who does then? A small political group who occupy some of the most important positions on The Daily, who have long ceased to reflect student opinion, who either consider it a joyous lark to see students expelled for no just cause, or are mali- ciously inspired to wreak as much havoc as possible during the short time they are in school - even to the extent of wrecking the lives and futures of innocent fellow students. I voice my determined protest against the flag- rant yellow journalism displayed in the offending editorial. I call on all self-respecting students of the University of Michigan, who want to be able Organizations THE UNIVERSITY CHORAL UNION....... .........30 Voices THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ............70 Players YOUNG PEOPLE'S FESTIVAL CHORUS..............400 Voices THE STANLEY CHORUS..............................Women Choral"Wor ks SONG OF PEACE (Ein Friedenslied) ...............

With over $275,000 in delinquent taxes, made uncollectable by State legislative action, Ann Arbor will find itself embarrassed when its $100,000 bond issue comes due in August. The State Legislature, ut of consideration for the home and property owners in Michigan who have not paid taxes of 1933 and prior years, reduced the penalty and extended the time limit on delinquent taxes due the city, the school-board; the county, and itself. This was accomplished through the Moore-Holbeck Bill of 1933, and others that have followed. In the Moore-Holbeck Bill, which still arouses argument with regard to its efficacy and intention, State senators announced that they would permit the payment of delinquent taxes due in 1932 and prior in ten annual payments, beginning Sep- tember, 1935. Penalties hae been reduced to four per cent beginning in 1936. To Ann Arbor, this means that of over $163,000 due in delinquent taxes from that period, only ten per cent will be available to the city, and that not until September, 1935. Another generous grant to delinquent taxpayers was a bit of legislation passed this year which made taxes due in 1933 uncollectable until No- vember of this year by reducing the penalty from 10 per cent to 3 per cent if paid at that time.

MAY DAY EXPULSIONS To The Editor: A recent editorial in The Daily advocates the expulsion of the so-called "leaders" of the student delegation that went into Detroit on May Day. (That it does so in an undercover way by singling out one of these "leaders" whom it would like to see "far removed from the campus," does not lessen the gravity of the charge and the likelihood of The Daily's action being extended to include others). The Daily advocates the expulsion of those indi- viduals whom it points to as "leaders,?" when it knows that the delegation was voluntary, largely spontaneous, without any actual leaders, except
