Here Is Your Chance . . S OME PHILANTHROPIC young col- lege man or woman has a great opportunity to help those students enrolled in the University of Michigan for the simple purpose of gaining an education. It would be difficult; it would require a good many hours of boredom; it would be at times in- tensely interesting; and it would require impar- tiality and keen judgment. His job would be to divide the University of Michigan professors into two classes: Those who lead their students in vigorous discussion, who pic- ture their subject in its true light, making it inter- esting to the student whose, mentality is not dumb; and those who require memorization for memoriza- tion's sake, who want facts and more facts, giving the student who has burned the candle the lowest the highest grade. Such a canvass could be put to great use. A stu- dent who was here for true education could take courses from professors in the first category. To leain the subjects that professors of the second class teach he could buy a few text books, master the courses in his spare time, and not bother to attend classes. He would not be bored by professors who repeat what he has read in the text books. He would not find so many subjects devoid of interest because the pertinent problems were not brought up by the professor. He wouldn't lose interest to such an ex- tent, as so many students do now, that he would quit studying he course. He would learn to reason, clear and rationally. Logical thought would be his goal -not perfect memorization, which always results in a dull, drab personality. He wouldn't be filled with disgust after taking a 'pure fact' exam. He might learn facts, but he would learn them easily because he would want them to employ in a problem which interested him. Here is your chance. bor, we get a kick out of wearing white shoes in the midst .of winter. Somehow, we find it fun to be different. Even governors of states must distinguish them- selves from their peers-which, we must admit is just, because they are humans, after all. In this respect Gov. Clyde L. Herring of Iowa, a great hog-raising state, is right at present head and shoulders above the other 47 governors. He, perhaps because he has nothing else to do, bet Governor Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota a pig on the Iowa-Minnesota football game last Saturday. But, we must admit, there is nothing slouchy about Governor Herring. He's going to present the Min- nesota governor a 220-pound son of Blue Boy, grand champion boar at the Iowa State Fair. And what's more, he tells newspapermen, he's going to herd the pig right into the office of Gov- ernor Olson, "and if the police arrest me for vio- lating an old city ordinance, I'll get an immediate pardon from my host." Just a great big boy in the governor's chair where he can have his fun with real pomp and display.

About Those Paintings No w To The Editor: That the exhibition of "Twelve Paintings by Six French Artists" now on view in Alumni Me- morial Hall should arouse partisan discussion in Ann Arbor was to be expected. The Five French artists--Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Leger, and Masson-have been the subjects of bitter parti- san attack from the conservative forces for the' last thirty years on both sides of the Atlantic. There is nothing new in the arguments of the Ann Arbor Conservatives -nothing which has not been spoken of or written many times before. The confirmed Conservative agues that an° abstraction by Picasso, Braque, Leger, or Masson is not art. He insists, for example, that the' "Still Life" by Braque is not beautiful. He is very dogmatic in his position on that point. Be-; cause objects such as a banjo, a dish of grapes,; a page of music, the corner of a mantle are used; in a manner with which he is not familiar such use is therefore not beautiful and the result of such a combination of objects is not art. Many have tried but no one has yet written an adequate definition of art. All agree, however, on certain desiderata in a work of art. Braque as artist has as much right to paint an abstraction such as his Still Life in the present exhibition as the conservative critic has to object to such an ab- straction. If it pleases Braque to create an abstract decorative design enriched by arbitrary color planes and variations in the texture of paint, it is largely his affair. Possibly such a painting is little more than a laboratory experiment. But to say that it is not art is quite another matter. The Conservative's definition of art admits nothing which does not please him indi- vidually. He likes that with which he is familiar; what he does not understand must necessarily be wrong. No amount of argument can change him since he is unwilling to admit any point of view save his own. The Armory Exhibition of 1913 presented the first comprehensive collection of the works of Ma- tisse and the other "fauves" to the gentry of New York. He showed then such paintings as "The Game of Checkers." They were not recognized as beautiful designs in line, mass and color because the human figure, the inanimate object were used in a non-representational manner. We do not ex- pect absolute realism in a Byzantine mosaic or a Coptic textile; we are satisfied with a pleasing pattern. We often get a pleasing pattern in line, mass and color in a painting by Matisse. A survey of the life work of Picasso would re- veal a considerable number of paintings of dis- tinction and beauty. He can draw; he can compose; he can paint. Such a painting as "La Toilette" in the Albright Art Gallery, Buffalo sub- stantiates such a claim. The "abstract" was simply a phase in his career; he has long since abandoned it. For the moment it pleased him to deny realism and to play with form and color. It need not be taken too seriously. When we enter into the realm of the subcon- scious - the dream phycho-analyses - as we do in the "Man in Garden" by Andre Masson, we are going a step farther into the impenetrable. No one can share our dreams with us; they may be very real to us but even a painted presentation of a dream must remain acutely personal. The "Man in Garden" is little more than a pattern in color to one who does not understand its inner significance, if any. Ann Arbor is to be congratulated on the exhibi- tion of the "Twelve Paintings by Six French Artists." It offers an opportunity to examine works of six of the most controversial artists of the current school of Paris. What they have to offer may be of slight importance in the his- tory of 20th century French painting. They rep- resent however an activity which is more interest- ing than the lethargy of the academic Conserva- tive. -Bruce M. Donaldson. Footnote For The Talmud (From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) OUR FAITH in the Talmud as a work literally reeking with the pearls of wisdom is rudely shaken by a quotation from it which has just come to our notice, viz: "The humblest man is ruler in his own house." The idea, we suppose, that Caspar Q. Milquetoast, after being buffeted around all day by traffic policemen, his boss, several insurance salesmen and the office boy, goes home at night uwith a nrand and hahte harin. seemino- to Mrs. The Conning Tower V- is THE DIARY OF OUR OWN SAMUEL PEPYS Saturday, November 9 UP TO THE OFFICE very betimes to draw up some letters, and to write some observations on Armistice Day, which is day after tomorrow, and a day which I am opopsed to the celebrating of. For I think that the general effect of it is martial. So to Brooklyn, to see the Manhattan football team trounce the LaSalle team, and so home to supper, and early to bed. Sunday, November 10 LAY TILL AFTER EIGHT, and so up and in- dulged in some Narcissism, and so did some work, but had a feeling that nothing that I could; do would be good enough, and after dinner to the office and thence home the rest of the day, casting up accounts and paying so many bills that it de- pleted my check book, for which I was mighty glad, albeit my wife tells me that she would give me some checks on another bank, and I might cross the name of it off, which I told her was a kindness I did not know what I had done to de- serve. So listened to the Town Crier tell about the war, and felt that he still is too sentimental; about a silly, boring rotten conflict that made nothing safe for democracy, nor was a war to end wars. Monday, November 11 U P, AND to the office, all the day, doing a great deal of business, and so after dinner to seei "Parnell," which I was deeply interested in, and read that Parnell's grandfather, for whom he was named, was Commodore Charles Stewart, first admiral of the American Navy, and commander of Old Ironsides. And in the encyclopedia, I read that he was cold and unemotional. Lord! I found it an engrossing play, and in no detail of acting could I find any flaw, Miss Rawlings and Mr. George Curzon and Mr. Ed McNamara mighty good, and Miss Effie Shannon I thought wonder- ful: Lord! howlong ago it is when I saw her and Mr. Kelcey in "A Coat of Many Colors"! Sate next J. Meilziner, and he full of praise for Mr. Chaney's settings of the play, Tuesday, November 12 TO MY OFFICE, and there met Iughie Fullerton,; who lives in Columbus, Ohio, and he tells me a tayle that may or may not be true, about two members of the football team poring over their studies, and one said, "I am having great difficulty with this Latin," and the other commented, "Well,' this long division is no sinecure, neither." So at the office all day, and so home, and read John Taintor Foote's story, "Daughters of Delilah," in, the Saturday Evening Post, and in it there was a great wreath of laurel for Don Stillman, thus: "It began last winter," said George. "Early last winter. She mentioned it first at the breakfast table. She said, 'George, we ought to have a Connecticut farm.' "I swallowed something the wrong way, I re- member. When I could speak I said, 'Why?' That's exactly what I said. 'Why?' No more, no less. Isabelle said, 'Because everybody has one.' I said, 'Who's everybody?' She said, 'Well, F.P.A. for one.' I thought she was talk- ing about something the brain trusters had rigged up that I'd missed. I said, 'What's F.P.A.?' She said, 'It isn't a what. Do you mean to sit there and tell me you don't know who F.P.A. is?' I told her I most emphatically did not. She said, 'Why, George Potter, he's the one who runs the column in the Tribune.' I told her the only column worth reading in the Tribune was Rod and Gun. I asked her what this other one was about. She said, 'Poetry, mostly.' I said, 'What has poetry got to do with farming?' You'll admit that's a natural question. I'll go further and say it's the only question that would occur to any many in his right mind. Well, she got up from the breakfast table. She said, 'George, you're hopeless -quite, quite hopeless.' Then she left the room.' So to Neil Thomas's and met there Mr. Sidney Kingsley and Bide Dudley's daughter, who tells me that she was born in 1917, and I was filled with amazement that she could walk, not to say talk plainly. So to Frances Ross's for dinner, and I won $8, taking a share in M. Fatio's back- gammon game against Harold. So home with Betty and Howard Dietz to see their new radio phonograph contraption, and thence home and to bed, and read Helen Woodward's "Three Flights Up," a candid story of her girlhood, which was 1not unpleasant, as most autobiographers like to think that theirs was. Wednesday, November 13 T COME on to rain this morning, warm and thick, and I felt mighty little like doing my work, and did almost not any, and so to publick and had a unflavored malted milk, yet not flavorless; and saw Mr. Wilcox the book-vendor, and he told me that Dr. E. Devol had been to see him that morning, and was seriously considering the pur- chase of a book. So home by omnibus, and waited more than fifteen minutes for one that went to Washington Square, and so home and in the evening to a parents' meeting, mighty interesting, and I contended that the harm done to children by listening to the Tracys and the Armstrongs and the Bensons was much exaggerated; though it may be that my criminal record may be traced to my delight in nickel novels, cheap melodramas, and variety and burlesque shows. Read "Stormy Years," the autobiography of Carter H. Harrison, who first was mayor of Chicago in 1897. Yet, though most of his life was a political one, me- seemed that there were other aspects of it that were interesting, too, that he should have touched upon. I should have liked to read about his brother-in-law Barrett Eastman, whose place I took on the Chicago Journal when he went on a three weeks' holiday. Thursday, November 14 LAST NIGHT I lay on my pillow, last night as I 1lov an my med. T had the best slumber and THE SCREEN AT THE MAJESTIC "THE CRUSADES A Paramount picture starring Loretta Young and Henry Wilcoxin, with Ian Keith, Katherine DeMille, C. Aubrey Smith, Alan Hale, C..Henry Gordon, Joseph Schildkraut, etc. Featured by magnificent acting by the principals, remarkable photog- raphy, an enormous cast, and all the color and romance of the third cru- sade, this picture is easily one of the most outstanding of the year. It is a spectacular production that even sur- passes the first three great pictures of Cecille B. DeMille in the same series, but one cannot help but be amazed at the thoroughness with which it was produced. Highest acting honors go to Ian Keith, as Saladin, Sultan of Islam; Loretta Young, as Berengaria, wife of Richard; and Henry Wilcoxin, as Richard the Lion-Heart. Keith really steals the show from everyone else by reason of his incomparabe portrayal of the infidel leader. In two scenes, before the gathering of Christian kings and in his own headquarters when Richard makes peace, he shows such ability that one is convinced he is living, rather than acting, his part. And Miss Young gives one of the best performances of her career, in- terpreting her role that necessitates both tenderness and indomitable courage in a perfectly balanced man- ner. Wilcoxin is excellently cast as the blustering King Richard who bows to no power until he is con- verted to the Christian faith in the end. The story tells of Richard's enter- ing the crusade to escape an unwel- come marriage, arranged by his fa- ther, with Princess Alice of France (KatherinesDeMilley. The proposed marriage is being pushed by King Philip of France (C. Henry Gordon) and Richard's refusal to go through with it almost breaks up the crusade. It proceeds, however, and while pass- ing through Navarre Richard is forced to marry Berengaria, without having seen her, in order to procure her dowry, which is enough food for his hungry army. The crusaders lay seige to Acre but are repulsed until Berengaria and the hermit (C. Aubrey Smith) are cap- tured by Saladin. This so infuriates the Christian armies that they carry the city, only to find Saladin has left with the new English queen. They pursue to Jerusalem, where terrific fighting depletes the crusaders forces. Richard follows to the Sultan's tent alone, and is persuaded to make peace and send his men into the city with- out arms - the main goal for which the crusaders were fighting. Rich- ard is converted to the Christian ban- ners in spirit as well as actions, and reclaims Berengaria from captivity. The surrounding program, includ- ing a silly Symphony, is above the average. -J.C.F.H. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1935l VOL.

AT THE MICHIGAN "SHE COULDN'T TAKE IT" and THE STARDUST REVUE AtColumbia picture starring George Raft and Joan Bennett, with Walter Connolly, Billie Burke, Wallace Ford, etc. The Michigan in these two offerings has a bill that should appeal to one and all, and it seems that the stage show found its most ardent support- ers among the men and the picture among the ladies. We liked both of them. To start with the revue, it is easily the best thing that has been seen on the Michigan stage in many years, and we couldn't find a person in it who isn't deserving of the highest praise. And in particular the stars of the stardust are (we don't know the names) the girl who did the first dance; the kid ballet team; the dead- pan dancers; the girl who sang "Out in The Cold Again"; and the toe-tap dancer. Benny Davis, as master of ceremonies, did a good job. In the picture, the real star was Walter Connolly, and he was closely pushed by Wallace Ford. George Raft is cast in one of the roles (that of a gangster) that he does well, and so does well enough. We still had to stretch our imagination to the breaking point to conceive a romance between Joan Bennett and George, but anything is possible in the movies. Outside of that, it's a great comedy,' with a plot so preposterous that it keeps one laughing all the time. And there are enough police in the show to quell any sort of a riot. Joan and Billie Burke are the daughter and wife and are known as the maddest people in town, due to their antics. Husband and father decides it's about time he started something instead of letting them cause all the trouble so he goes to prison on an income tax count, where he has public enemy number one (Raft) for a cell-mate. When he feels that he's going to die he makes Raft the trustee of his entire for- tune, in the hope that this will calm his family.
