The Majestic presents a program this week that would be a great deal better if it were not given all in one dose. The first picture, "Girl Without a Room," has a rather gay touch, having the Latin quarter of Paris for its setting. Since Hol- lywood has only one or two ways of handling a Bohemian life picture, and even fewer plots for such an attempt, this one offers nothing new and different in this phase of entertainment. How- ever, "A Man's Castle" is a little more interest-' ing because its old, hashed-over plot has an un- usual disguise, and Loretta Young is in it. Her charm would pull almost any picture out of the doldrums. And for the ladies there is Spencer Tracy's sex appeal. Charles Farrell, who always seems to resemble a smooth-haired fox tel ier of some sort, awakens one morning in Tennessee to find that his pic- ture, "The Thorn," has won him a scholarship to study in Paris. He immediately packs his straw suitcase, sails for the Latin Quarter, and there meets "The Girl Without a Room." He is timid and dumb; she is wise and needs some- thing to freshen her up a bit. They consequently fall in love, and he goes through the usual night club life with a siren who wants his money before he gets wire and realizes that "The Girl Without a Room" shoyld share his studio for a long time to come. Charles Ruggles with his morning-after jitters is in it, and the most amusing thing he does is to get himself mixed up in a duel which matures into a good comedy scene. The castle in "A Man's Castle" is no more than a shanty in the New York tramp residential sec- tion. The man is Spencer Tracy, and his role is no more than that of a tramp with a wanderlust that seems incurable until another tramp, played by Loretta Young, comes along and cooks her way into his heart. This picture has very good mo- ments, and the hero gets himself into some sit- uations that are entertaining enough to make the audience forget the parts of the picture that make one squirm in his seat. If you can stick it out for two and three-quar- ter hours, and if you are not looking for too much, this program should entertain you fairly well. The news reel and the announcement of "Eskimo" (including that catchy little advertise- ment - wife traders - that always accompanies the title) are the only added features that can be crowded into this already bulging program. -C. B. C. Caimpus Opinion, The majority rules in this world. Last night the majority of the audience liked the concert, very much. For them it was pieasurable and delightful. More power to them. For actually it was a nice concert, performed with tonal plenitude, r"hythmic fluctuation, and with climaxes carefully worked out, The brasses were sonorous and well-balanced; they were used to advantage in each item of the program, from the brass choir on the Choral in the Zemachson Choral and Fugue, on through the Rachmaninoff and of course in the familiar Wag- ner excerpts. The strings came across with edge and nuance. In itself, somewhat wearing in its length and, almost conscious adoption of the lyric manner, the Rachmaninoff was completely read; the Wagner, The Prelude and Love Death, The Ride of The Valkyrie, and the Overture to Tann- hauser, sounding out sincere and strong, a little rubato, were well received. As a kindly gesture, Gabrilowitsch played as an encore, eagerly de- manded, the March Slav, in recognition of re- quests from students for it, both last year after the concert and before this one. And that con- cluded a program, easy to listen to, full of melody, Gand well-loved. The bickering and chittering minority of the audience who always must have something to say, felt that the potentialities of the orchestra were larger than the results. That is, the program verged on the trite, in view of the many times that these things have been done, and in view of what little symphonic meat there is available in three symphony programs during a season, and in view of the fact that this is a University au- dience. The level of interest, too, was hardly varied, since from the beginning to the end, there was a continual richness, blandness, an emotional gravy not quite reached in the Rachmaninoff, perhaps, but decidedly present in the Wagner. But, as I say, these comments are only for and by the hyper-critical audience. -Sally Place. SWIFT ENTERTAINMENT: "SEE NAPLES AND DIE" By JOHN W. PRITCHARDI W ITH the colorful background of a Neopolitan landscape, upon the terrace of a small inn peopled by a cosmopolitan group of hilariously funny characters, Elmer Rice is so good as to fur- nish a play whose dialogue, while swift and funny enough to stand by itself, is dependent upon an interesting plot whose development is in evi- dence all during the opus. This is "See Naples and Die," which Play Production will offer Ann Arbor play-goers tonight at the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre. It is not a terribly involved plot, but it never- theless offers high dramatic possibilities. The latter are thoroughly exploited by Mr. Rice: not content with presenting average comedy of man- ners which glisters but has little depth or scope, he combines plot, lines, and excellent character studies in order to extort chuckles from the audi- ence. He does more than that, in fact: he inserts a restrained sort of pathos here and there that is subtle, yet pronounced enough to make humor- ous moments more lofty. And almost everything that happens is credible: this is a virtue not pos- sessed by "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney," for in- stance. l NIGHT EDITOR: RALPH G. COULTER Stanford's Wilbur And aternaliSm, . S TANFORD'S President Ray Lyman Wilbur evidently didn't catch Pa- ternalism during his brief visit last year in Ann Arbor. From the coast we receive information that President Wilbur granted a request for per- mission for co-eds to visit men's dormitory rooms during the recent Stanford Toyan Ball. Everyone who thinks a man's home is his castle and who believes in the sanctity of privacy will applaud this move toward appreciation by a uni- versity administration that students desire to be treated like men and women. President Wilbur is no experimenting neophyte. Outstanding among the country's educators, he has demonstrated a great versatility, capacity, and knowledge of human psychology, as Dean of Stanford's medical school, as Secretary of the In- terior under Hoover, and as longtime (from 1916 on) holder of his present position. College presidents, deans, and Common Coun- cils will do well to ponder his recent gesture of respect for students. People 11 Decide.

EASY MONEY AND THE UNION FEE To the Editor: At times when money is passing freely from the hands of employed to employer (that's the order advocated by the New Deal), financing plans are completed with a minimum of immediate dif- ficulty. At such a time, about 1914-17, the Mich- igan Union was conceived. Actual construction,. however, was overtaken by the high prices of our own war years and the completed cost, over $900,- 000 (swimming pool and library omitted) was far greater than that originally contemplated. With the laying of the last brick an indebtedness of outrageous proportions had been saddled upon incoming generations of freshmen. But there was a great building set up, bringing with it the element of fixity which is the basis of innumerable intelligent and insidious attempts at mass control. In the face of a 'fait accompli' the opposition was powerless to do otherwise than accept the necessity of paying the c a r r y i n g charges. Fixed though the building was, the debt, alas, was not fixed but thriving on a ration of compound interest so staggering that the men of 1920-21 lost their enthusiasm for supplying the goutish diet to a monster which consumed dollars as rapidly in hard times as in easy years. Sensing the possibilities of the historic period of easy money from1926 to 1929 the regents in- creased the Union membership fee to $10, stipu- lating that $5 was to go to capital account. So the saddle of debt was cinched so tightly upon the future that there was no escape. But part of what was once the future is already past. Money is come upon difficult times and is so hard to get that the Legislature cancelled the remain- ing indebtedness of the Union, about $260,000, last fall. Rationally one would expect the benefits of this act to accrue to the contributing students. Eut the fee has not been reduced! If I am asked 'Why?' I can only refer once more to the idea of fixity. Voluntary change on the part of those responsible for the original fixation is hardly to be expected; hence, if we wish to change this condition agitation is necessary. It is my purpose to work not only for a reduc- tion in the amount of the fee but also to strive to place the membership of the Union on an en- tirely voluntary basis. Strangely enough we could here seize advantage of the very fixity which binds us. The building exists, free from debt! Our patronage is needed. It will be a white elephant, rapidly becoming pink, if we as students refuse to 'come through' as we have in the past. Our first step is to refuse to pay again the indebted- ness which was swept out by the undertow fol- lowing the wave of 1929! Force the Union to operate upon a voluntary membership and we will discover prices being reduced in order that it will be desirable for all men to willingly become con- tributing members. Such an undertaking would be a laudable endeavor on the part of a paper rep- resenting the students and which gave three front '.I ' i i 9 I k ASIT IS w icran, aiy Classified Ads NEW FILM JUST RELEASED By and With JULIAN RYAN Speaking in Persom AMERICA'S DARING PHOTOGRAPHER-LECTURER DIRECT from CROWDED THEATRES in NEW YORK and CHKfCAGO CHICAGO DAILY NEWS: "Chicago has never seen a more comprehensive and unbiased survey."

See and Hear the Truth I The reading of the play thus was sufficient to make me eager for tonight to make its advent. Yet there was an element which worried me. I read a production copy, and was able to study the cuttings. They are atrocious. Although I have no definite data on this point, I do not sup- pose that this can be blamed on Play Production: the group probably was required to cut such lines as were considered salacious by the powers that be. But there are a number of points about such censorship which require discussion, and upon which I shall have more to say in the immediate future. I T has been the pleasant task of The Daily to announce the suc- ss of Citizens' Charter Amendment Repeal Com- ittee in its drive to bring the East of -Division eer question before the people. Through the immittee's efforts the voters of Ann Arbor will >w be able to decide directly whether or not ographical discrimination is to be exercised by ie Common Council in granting licenses to sell e beverages of low alcoholic content. The drive has disproved many of the arguments the dry members of the Council. For one zing, it has shown that the sentiment of the eponderant majority of the faculty is against Ze Division Street ruling: nine-tenths of thej culty men who were contacted signed. The reception of the committee's representa- ves in the Seventh Ward indicated that Profes- r Sadler's poll of last year was not representa- ve. Professor Sadler claimed there was a three one majority in favor of the ordinance, yet an verwhelming majority of those residents of the eventh Ward who were approached for signa- ires readily gave them. One worker, by way of xample, received 85 signatures from the 88 people e visited. The battle, of course, has only begun. But it as at least been removed from the small arena the Council chamber, where less than ten men >uld with effrontery quash the most vigorously >iced request of the people. The Daily believes iat this will prove to be a long step tov ard ulti- late victory. 11 By a great stroke of luck, the censorship does not badly mutilate the context of the play. One minor (although originally quite delightful) char- acter is obliterated, and another more important character is malformed: also, the motivation of the plot, under the censored form, brings a hint of incredulity. This, of course, is sufficient to condemn the cutting, but not the production. The bulk of Mr. Rice's delightful wit is left intact (chiefly because most of it is irreproachably vir- ginal), and thus the. performance is likely to be at least as amusing as any strictly comic piece that Play Production has presented this season. i Collegiate Observer By BUD BERNARD English prof at the University of Mary- land: "This examination will be conducted strictly on the honor system; please sit four seats apart." 6 I 6 I our Daily Offers: Fact No. I THE MICHIGAN DAILY IS PRINTED ON A DUPLEX MODEL E FLAT BED PRESS, THE MAXIMUM SPEED OF WHICH IS 6,000 EIGHT-PAGE PAPERS PER HOUR, PRINTED, FOLDED AND CUT.
