Rod And Reel Devotees Repair
Waders For May Day Opening
By ROBERT B. BROWN
Last minute preparations and fren-
zied activity in general are charac-
terestics of the large body of local
sportsmen who await the opening of
the trout fishing season ,tomorrow. .
May 1 may be a day of dangerous
disturbances in Europe and of dem-
onstration and marching in the
United States, but to 5,000,000 anglers'
it is the banner day of the year for
an altogether different reason. The
long winter of poring over catalogues,
varnishing rods, tying flies and buy-
ing all kinds of expensive and more;
or less unnecessary equipment is,
over, and once again they can go outt
before dawn to follow in the footsteps]
of Izaak Walton.
Around Ann Arbor there are few
streams and less trout, but hope inthe
heart of a fisherman is eternally;
elastic, and regardless of all the fish-]
less days of last spring, he will be]
THE SCREEN f
AT THE MICHIGAN
"RECKLESS"1
A Metro-Goidwyn-Mayer picture,
starring Jean Harlow and William Pow- I
eli, featuing Franchot Tone and May
Robeson -
"Reckless" is not only the title of
this, La Harlow's latest vehicle, but
is the best one word description of
the manner in which it races throught
a series of hectic events and comes1
to a bombastic climax at the end. It
is a perfect vehicle for the platinum-
haired voluptuary and, if you read the
newspapers, you know just about
what that constitutes.
Having as its origin the experiences
of the Broadway torch singer, Libby
Holman, with. her playboy husband,
it tells the story of a musical comedyt
favorite who marries (while on a
bender) a very rich and very melan-
cholic young hell raiser who, the day
after, realizes that he has jilted his
debutante fiancee and has incurred
the wrath of his socialite father. Af-
ter a sequence of scenes with his high
hat friends and his family, his de-
despondency leads him to suicide, and
his bride is accussed of murdering
him. Although she is freed, public
opinion goes very much against her,
and when she tries a comeback on
the stage, life is very black for her
for a while. Oh, yes, she has a baby,
too; and there is a big brother in the
on the stream as soon as he can see
the water, or perhaps before, and
elbow his way along the crowded
bank to his favorite hole. Crowded,
because on opening day every man,
woman and chil in the country who
has ever held a fish pole and who
can think of. any earthly excuse to get
out in the country will be there. Na-
turally the fish are practically ter-
rorized before the day is over, but
to the real fisherman even this is
acceptable.
"You see," he will explain to you,"
all of the tin-horn sports who don't
catch anything the first day will get
disguested, and then there'll be hard-
ly anyone on the stream during the
rest of the season!"
If you ask any trout fisherman
what he usese for bait, he will prob-
ably reply "flies" in a hurt and in-
jured tone, as if asking you what he
has ever done that you should accuse
him of using anything else, for the;
aristocrat among fishermen reput-
edly would rather be dead than be
seen using worms. But around the
afternoon of opening day when the
angler is getting tired and the creel
is still empty it is altogether liable
that you will see him discard hisI
"principles" and revert to the "garden
hackle," the earth work which Izaak
Walton himself used with success.
So, when you get an unexpected
bolt Wednesday, or when the profes-
sor stares disparagingly at numerous
empty seats, it may all be attributed
to the red letter date marked on every
fisherman's calenger, the First of
May, Opening Day!
THE STAGE
By ROBERT HENDERSON
And what will be the best play of
the Season? Who will be the most
popular artist? Part of the excite-
ment of the Dramatic Seasons lies
in the very fact that no one really
knows. Obviously, each represents.
to a marked degree, our own especial
prejudices and enthusiasms in the
theater.
Yet such is the naradox of the
theater that frequently the very play
or artist least featured and least pub-
licized may turn the tables and run
away with the popularity of the en-
tire season. Olive Olsen is a case in
point. When I engaged her last
spring, I thought I was engaging
someone else; it happened that the
night I thought I saw her in "Good
News" actually she was ill and I saw
her understudy in her place.
Patrons stop me and ask me, in
confidence, which of the plays to
choose. Naturally, I like them all,
and all are -- we hope - adroitly con-
trasted, so that the Season actually
accomplishes its ideal which is to
present a veritable "parade" of the
stimulating plays and players of the
New York stage.
'Two Enthusiasms'
This spring I have two definite
enthusiasms, Nazimova and the new
play, "The Ugly Runts." Of Nazi-
Smova it is unnecessary to speak. She
is the finest artist we have ever
brought to the Seasons; and the list
of the past seasons comprise a Blue
Book of the American theater. If a
patron could afford to see only two
plays in the entire season, I would
immediately urge him to see Nazi-
mova in "Ghosts," and then "The
Ugly Runts."
Besides the central committee, Earl
V. Moore and Kenneth Rowe, no one
in AnnrArbor has read the script of
"The Ugly Runts." In New York. the
theatrical-wise are agog over it. This
is absolutely the truth. George Jean
Nathan has read it and calls Robert
Raynoids "the American Sean
O'Casey"; a double compliment if you
consider Mr. Nathan's propaganda
in favor of O'Casey (and Lillian
Gish!)
Two Months' Rehearsal
Nazimova's performance in
"Ghosts"-not forgptting Romney
Brent as Oswald - should make a
bit of history. The production will
come to Ann Arbor with nearly two
months' rehearsal. The company has
been working in New York since the
middle of April. As Romney Brent.
told me recently, Nazimova will be
so electric as Mrs. Alving the rest
of the cast might as well not be on,
the stage; and the cast supporting
Nazimova is all-star in its own right.
What I say of "Ghosts" and "The
Ugly Runts" is no derogation of the
other productions. If I did not think

Forest W or k
Is Discussed
At Conference
Forestry and conservation activ-
ities in Michigan and their relation
to a correlated program for the Great
Lakes states of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota provided the subject
of a two-day conference at Madison,
Wisconsin from which Dean S. T.
Dana and Prof. W. F. Ramnsdell of the
department of forestry and conserva-
tion have just returned.
In commenting upon the meeting,
Prof. Ramsdell pointed out the scope
of the present conservation activities
as emphasized by the presence at the
conference of representatives not only
from the U.S. Forest Service, but also
from the National Park Service, Bio-
logical Survey, Soil Erosion Service,
AAA, FERA, State Departments of
Conservation, state universities, col-
leges and experiment stations.
Great Concern was expressed over
the multiplicity of Washington bu-!
reaus and emergency organizations.
dealing in land use adjustment with
conservation objectives, and the con-
sequent lack of correlated policy and
program. A plea was sent to Wash-
ington for setting a regional Federal
long use adjustment office in the in-,
terest of more unified program and
-reater efficiency.
