This is highly interesting and is done admirably leaving out the many objectionable qualities of any picture revealing, for instance, the life, customs, code, and habits of the Amer- ican people and such things as the relationship between man and wife are done in a very dis- criminating manner, in fact a much better one than is usually present in the average American film. Mala sees a shot-gun for the first time when a friend of his brings one back from the "floating house of the white man". He packs up and begins a long trek to the ship to trade firs for the "boom- gun". The ship, sadly lacking in the homey touch usually lent by the fair sex, has a rather wild time and Mala's wife becomes involved with. the ship's captain: After this Mala refuses to take his family aboard the ship and when he re- turns from a thrilling encounter with a whale he finds that his wife has been accidently slain by one of the crew while hunting seal. Mala kills the captain and escapes into the night. The Canadian Northwest Mounted now sets up a post near the location of the' ship. The news of the murder of the ship's captain reaches the post and from this point on Mala is a marked man. Mala now changes his name to Kripik in order to forget his lost wife. Kripik now marries a second time( in fact he marries two women at the same time) and one of the two women is rather a gem for those parts and proves to be his devoted wife. The Mounted, in search of Mala, flounders miserably in a storm and is rescued by their victim without knowing it. A fast friendship is struck up between one of the officers and Kripik. The officer learns that his friend is Mala. "Eskimo" is solved in a clever way from this point on and the chase at the finish is a thrilling as well as bit trying in spots. (Kripik is forced to eat his dog-team to keep from starving). Mala is, and this is representative of all the Eskimoes, forced to believe that the white man is nothing but a white man with a black heart by the treatment of his first wife, and though he never realizes it, the white man finally proves to be his friend and a happy medium for the finish is thus struck.

In addition to the poor cultural diet imposed upon Ann Arbor audiences by overly stringent censorship, the scope and thoroughness of the training which is given students of dramatic art must be limited and vitiated. It is supposed that the primary purpose of Play Production is to give groundwork in acting and producing to students who intend to go into these fields after grad- uation; that its secondary purpose is to aid any student to polish off his cultural development and to acquire the poise, and ability to cope with situations, which are so needful in a pretty well- veneered world. When such students are denied the possibility of working out many of the cur- rent problems in modern drama, then growth in both branches; of Play Production's work is obviously checked and stunted. About Student Moral Standards Students who take part in these productions, and students who watch them, are not likely to have their moral values undermined by such plays. Cases of moral turpitude in college are reassuringly infrequent, and when they occur they can invariably be traced to hereditary or en- vironmental causes which would be operative un- der any conditions of dramatic censorship. The moral standards of students are, by the time they reach college, pretty well formed -sufficiently so, at least, that a work of art will be taX n at its face value, and ordinarily cannot exert a vicious effect. It is unfortunate that Play Production and Comedy Club are forced to feel so strongly the austerity of censorship at the present time that they, knowing the committee's dictum in advance, reject many excellent plays without even bother- ing to submit them to the censors. I cannot express too strongly our hope and de- sire that this suggestion be seriously considered by the committee. I speak officially for The Daily, unofficially for every lover of drama in Ann Arbor. Courteously yours, JOHN W. PSITCHARD Musi Events s 5ERVICE1 I'1 ENT ROOMS.,..i RECOVER LOST AURTICLES....

NIGHT EDITOR: A. ELLIS BALL [le CQ1gai aust let - oW .-- THE DRIVE for initiative petitions to repeal the 'East of Division breet' beer ban has accomplished one prominent sult. It has nliade future action on the matter andatory. A legal technicality has kept the charter amend- ent which the Citizens' Committee proposed off e ballot. However, 1,600 persons have signified teir will in this matter. During the past year, veral members of the Council have insisted that tere is no interest in the repeal of the charter nendment and that for that reason submission the electorate was unwarranted. The recent 'ive has completely exploded this theory. The nnber of persons who had the opportunity of ining the petitions in the short time of less than ur days is probably insignificant as gompared the number who were interested in the subject. le number of signatures was, however, a good trometer of the sentiment prevailing in the city r a decision. It is not too late to get an amendment on the pril ballot. The Common Council still has the iportunity to make submission possible. If the uncil has any respect for the plainly expressed 11 of the people, it will vote for submission. Its ity is clear. It does not matter whether an in- vidual member of the Council is a wet or dry, iether he is personally in favor of the repeal the charter amendment or not. He is not com- itting himself to either side of the controversy voting for submission. After all, we are still ing in a democracy and the will of the people .ght to mean som~ething to their representatives. the Council fails to vote submission, the indica- )n would be that it is not wiling to allow the vot- s of Ann Arbor to run their own government. ich a decision would indicate that ours is not a mocratic city but one throttled in the grasp of 1 oligarchy. We believe that the members of the council 11 realize their position. We believe that a ma- rity of them have. acted at all times with com- ete sincerity, and that their sincerity will make ;elf manifest now. Since the city attorney de- ared the petitions invalid, we have heard com- ents from all sides with the one theme - the mncil must act now. We have complete faith the integrity of the Council. We are sure that will act. Screen Reflections Stu~dent Publications IBldg, The Theatre OPEN LETTER REGA DING CENSORSHIP OF CAMPUS PLAYS To the Members of the University Dramatic C mmittee: STRINGENT censorship of lines and situations in Elmer Rice's comedy "See Naples and Die," which was acted on Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday nights by Play Production, has brought conspicuously to the attention of Ann Arbor audi- ences the effects of artificially narrowing the scope of University dramatic enterprises, official or unofficial. In view of our consideration that such limitation is usually bad for the interests of all concerned, we wish respectfully to suggest to you that greater leniency be the. keynote of dra- matic censorship, and to present to you the rea-. sons for our desire. We appreciate the fact that certain plays, be- cause of cheapness and poor art coupled with un- necessary moral license, should be banned en- tirely. 'In this connection the function of cen- sorship is an advantageous one, for it prevents the campus theatres from being cluttered with dramatic rubbish, and even dramatic filth. Thus discriminating censorship is excellent if it makes a point of keeping the standards of produced plays an artistically high one. Nevertheless, when in an innocuous comedy like "See Naples and Die" the cutting is carried so far that one character is obliterated, one char- acter is materially weakened, several minor char- acters are distorted, the plot (which originally was credible enough for a comedy) is made too incredible for any use, and many amusing situations and lines are utterly lost - and all be- cause of an objection to lines that are typical of discussions which form a part of everyday con- versation in mixed 'company - we feel that the function of censorship is carried too far. In consequence, we are requesting a more lenient censorship, for the reasons which follow. Sex in the Modern Play Many works of realistic or naturalistic dra- matic art which are being written every year, and which are applauded by critics, must necessarily contain a certain amount of sex discussion or situation. No one today even thinks of denying that sex has been brought out of its shroud of darkness and is frankly recognized as one of the foremost problems of human adjustment. Many, of course, will state that the light thrown on sexual matters today is excessive and deleterious. Most psychologists will probably disagree with such an opinion, and will assert that sex is never more pernicious than when it is, banned from polite conversation and forced to smoulder un- seen. Regardless of this opinion, the fact remains that sex is frankly regarded as a problem with which we of today must contend. Art reflects nature; the realistic and naturalistic arts carry the process farther, for they very nearly repro- duce nature. Sex, therefore, whether in comedy or in tragic drama, must be an element of vary- inL~r imrun~ncP_ Thm awen . rl. ;c nnn Tae Pi0ctures And have a permanent record of your student life on the campus- See us for material and sup- plies necessary for either in- door o outIoor pictures KODAK$ - - FILMS FLASH BULBS Francisco-Boyce Photo Co. Open Eveni~gs and Sunday Plioie 21214 THE BOYS have been promoted. Before this time the Varsity Glee Club has assisted at various and sundry functions wherever a good old Michigan spirit needed pepping up. This after- noon the Varsity Glee Club is appearing as a musical organization whose purpose it is to. put on a performance of importance equal to the other concerts of the Faculty Concert Series. This is no small task. Therefore the program is not of the four-part harmony type that our ears have been accustomed to hearing from glee-clubs, which now may gather round the flowing bowl (west of Division Street, for the time being) and produce what has heretofore been the co-ed's de- light, good part-singing by a group of men. This program calls for more than that, it requires in- telligence and technique. Two works of American parentage have been picked for the star positions of this concert. "General Booth Enters Into Heaven," is a set- ting of Vachel Lindsay's poem, by Philip James, having a spirit of fanatacism, of energy and fervor, that is evident in all parts of the arrange- ment: snare drums roll, the trombone and cornet blare with street-corner incitement, as the inci- dent concerning the Founder of the Salvation Army is told by the chorus. The other exceptional American work that has been chosen for this program is Charles Martin Loeffler's setting of words from Whitman's "Drum Taps", written for unison voices with addition of a small band and two pianos. Loeffler, a natural- ized American composer, now residing in Boston, who, according to Louis Elson, has been one of radical composers in American music, is one of our oldest composers living. "Beat! Beat! Drums!" is stirring, vigorous, and militaristically colorful, with piccolos and drums, cornets and trombones, saxaphones and tuba, sup- ported by two pianos. An interlude of individuality will be contributed by the ensemble of six harps under the tutelage and direction of Miss Ruth Pfohl of the School of Music Faculty. The arrangement of the Debussy is by Miss Pfohl. Salzedo was Miss Pfohl's teacher at the Curtis Institute of music and is considered the world's most distinguished harpist. David Mattern of the School of Music Faculty directs the Glee Club. This program is something different, and some- thing worth your time and attention. -Sally Place I will not vouch for the truthfulness of this article but the story came to me about a freshman at Kentucky University who signed up for a lan- guage course and then attended a geology class r I ~ 4 REA D THE DAILY CLASSWIED ADS AT THE MAJESTIC "ESKIMO" 14r t. 9
