ian were honored here today in the

sentation. They are Doctors GeorgeI
Minot and William P. Murphy of the
Harvard University medical school,
and Dr. George H. Whipple of the
University of Rochester, joint win-
ners of the award in medicine.

cabinet. In the words of Lord North-
cliffe, "he saw more of the World
War than any other man." He was
on all fronts writing for the Amer-
ican public.
At 27 he was an intimate of sul-
tans, prime ministers, and kings. He
was the companion of Lawrence, the
mystery man of Arabia, and confidant
of "Red" Rosa Luxemburg and Carl
Liebnecht, the German Nihilist.
}Lowell Thomas was the only Amer-
ican observer who witnessed the re-
claiming of the Holy Land, who saw
the assembling of the 60,000 camels,
the gathering of troops from many
climes, and the final campaign in the
desert and was able to record these
spectacular events through the lens of
a motion picture camera.
When Allenby began his great ad-
vance the British staff at Cairo rushed
Mr. Thomas to the front in a racing
battle plane.
Tickets for the lecture are selling
rapidly, according to Oratorical Asso-
ciation officials. They may be ob-
tained at Wahr's Bookstore and are
priced at 50 and 75 cents.

An Unusual And Varied
Career As Adventurer
Lowell Thomas, writer and lecturer,
who will speak at 8:30 p.m. Thurs-
day in Hill Auditorium on "Adven-
tures in the Air and Around the
World," is a veritable modern Marco
Polo, having been to both ends of the
earth.
There are few men in the world to-
day whose lives have been as full of
adventures as has Mr. Thomas'. Ex-
plorer in Alaska and the Arctic, gold
miner, star reporter on metropolitan
dailies, literary free lance, magazine
writer, both professor and student at
a great college of law, are only a few
of the experiences he has had.
At the time of the World War
Mr. Thomas was sent to Europe

Max Gordon presents "Roberta"
adapted from Alice Duerr Miller's novel,1
"Gowns By Roberta." Music by Jerome
Kern. Books and lyrics by Otto Har-
bach. Gowns designed by Kiviette, and
settings by Clark Robinson.
Max Gordon has in "Roberta" one
of the best musical comedies that De-
troit has had the pleasure of seeing,
and that includes "As Thousands,
Cheer" and "Of Thee I Sing." "Ro-
berta" is delightful in its subtleness
of wit, its graciousness of costume and'
dance, and its sophistication of song.
Tamara, in the role of Stephanie,
the Russian princess and manager at
Roberta's is most outstanding. Per-
haps it is her Russian blood, because
she actually was forced to flee Russia
with her mother during the Revolu-.
tion, or perhaps it is just good acting.!
Nevertheless, she is admirable in her
presentation. Her characterization is
well done, but her most outstanding
bit is her interpretation of the show's
greatest song hit, "Smoke Gets In
Your Eyes."
