Shubert's Loves
In Art Cinema
By ARTHUR A. MILLER 1
After the latest of the Art Cinema
League's private films screenings, it
was decided to bring "Unfinished
Symphony" to the Lydia Mendels-
sohn Theater for exhibitions next
Friday and Saturday evenings.
Members of the League have seen
foreign movies privately since the
beginningofthe semester but not
since "Man of Aran" was shown have
they unanimously concurred in the
suitability of a film as they have
in "Unfinished Symphony."
The picture was produced by Gau-
mont-British. It is the story of
Franz Shubert's life and with the
playing of the B-minor symphony,
Ave Maria and others of the com-
poser's works, it is said to do the
master full justice.
Shubert is played by Hans Jaray
and from the likenesses available
of the composer, Jaray might very
well be a reincarnated Shubert.

Union, after which they will march
down State Street to the Stadium,
accompanied by the corps of Varsity
cheerleaders.
Saturday night, the Athletic As-
sociation will fete Michigan sports
writers at a dinner in the Union, as-
sociation officials announced last
night.
Dixon called attention to the fact
that Mr. Baird is commonly credited
with having built up the Michigan
athletic plant to its present point,
where it is considered the finest in the
country.
"Always an active alumnus, a bene-
factor to the University through both
his time and his money, it is only fit-
ting that the "M" Club give M.
Baird his due honor," Dixon said. He
urged students to attend the cere-
mony in the Union and follow the
band to the station.
Nearly 60,000 persons are expected
to attend the Homecoming game Sat-
urday afternoon, officials at the Ath-
letic Association's ticket office said.
The game will not only be colorful
from the standpoint of a fierce grid-
iron fight, they pointed out, but also
because of the fact that the gaudily-
outfitted Pennsylvania band, noted
throughout the East as an outstand-
ing musical organization, will parade
on the field between halves.

Latest Picture Council Offers
Helen Chandler is the first love of
Shubert during the days when he had
to pawn his belongings at her fath-
er's shop.
The locale of the picture is Vienna,
where Shubert lived, and Hungary
where Marta Eggerth, his second love,
spent her days in her father's feudal
mansion.
Miss Eggerth portrays the part of
a countess who has disrupted Shu-
bert's debut by laughing during his
playing of his B-minor symphony at
a fashionable Vienna salon. This
break in his performance occurs at
the juncture where he is conceiving
a new ending for his symphony and
from then until he realizes his love
for the countess he is unable to com-
plete his work.
With due credit to the acting in
"Unfinished Symphony," the music
which is supplied by the Vienna Phil-
harmonic Orchestra and the singing
of the famous Vienna Boys Choir,
overshadows all the rest. Miss Eg-
gerth is a member of the Vienna
Opera Company and her singing,
combined with her dancing, especial-
ly during the scene in a Hungarian
tavern, is said to be refreshing, com-
ing as it does through the medium
of the screen.
Throughout the picture there is no
trace of Hollywood's "playing up"
to the musical sequences. Reviewers
state that Jaray, as Shubert, is con-'
vincing and when an unseen orches-
tra blends with his piano offerings
it is "more like a stream of fin-
ished music flowing through his mind
than an inserted accompaniment."
According to Prof. Harold J. Mc-
Farlan of the engineering college,
chairman of the League's faculty
board, the showing of "Unfinished
Symphony" was not "entirely expect-
ed." For Professor McFarlan declared
that if "Man of Aran" hadn't been
such a complete success, "Unfinished
Symphony" would have had to re-
main one of those pictures the League
could not afford to bring to Ann
Arbor."

Modern civilization has completely changed all this. We have lightly tossed aside the fact
that our ey\es were in the process of developing for hundreds of thousands of years-develop-
ing fr distance seeing under tremendous quantities of natural daylight. In the last few
centur we.ve have taken liberties with all four of nature's principles-distance seeing, lots
of light to aid our eves, a relatively short day, and easy visual tasks. Instead, we have
substitu-ed close-seeing indoors, extremely low levels of lighting, a much .longer day,
