Plans are already under way to
make thiss season of the Michigan
.Repertoiry Players unusual)iy out-
standing, Valentine B. Windt, direc-
tor of Play 'Production, who is in
charge of the Players, announced yes-
terday.
As in former years the Players will
present a series of nine or ten plays,
opening on the first day of registra-
tion, June 26, and closing on Au-
gust 21. A different play will be
given each week, running from Wed-
nesday through Saturday.
Kane To Direct
Whitford Kane, one of the most dis-
tinguished character actors on the
American stage, will act as guest di-
rector for the players. Mr. Kane
is at present here in Ann Arbor to
appear in several plays of the five-
week Dramatic Season produced by
Robert Henderson. He has been as-
sociated with the most important
theatre organizations in both Great
Britain and America, among them
the New York Theatre Guild School,
the Goodman Theatre in Chicago,
the University of Washington, and
New York University. Frederic O.
Crandall, who was assistant director
last summer will complete the staff
of directors.
Special advanced and intermediate
work in stagecraft will be conducted
by Alexander Wyckoff, who has been
Art Director for the Players for sev-
eral seasons. Costumes for all the
productions will be designed by Miss
Evelyn Cohen, who will also give a
special course in costume design.
Plan Musical Show
"The purpose of the work done by
the Repertory Players," Mr. Windt
said, "is two-fold. First we aim to
supply the community and students
of the Summer Session with a high
type of entertainment, and also to
offer to those who are interested in
the theatre, excellent experience in
acting, directing, staging and cos-
tuming."
A policy of presenting at least one
musical production, in collaboration
with the School of Music, which was
inaugurated last summer when "The
Chocolate Soldier" by Oscar Strauss
and Stanislaus Stange, was given,
will be continued. This proved to be
one of the outstanding successes'of
the whole season, and for this reason
a similar production is being ar-
ranged for this summer.
Other noteworthy plays which were
produced last summer were Toth-
eroh's "Moor Born," a story of the
Brontes; "The Perfect Alibi," a de-
tective play by A. A. Milne; "Mer-
rily We Roll Along," a Broadway suc-
cess of last year, written by George S.
Kaufman and Moss Hart; John
Drinkwater's comedy, "Bird in Hand";
Moliere's famous "The Doctor in Spite
of Himself"; "Shall We Join the
Ladies?," J. M. Barrie's satire on mys-
tery melodrama; Martinez-Sierra's
"The Kingdom of God," and Seiler's
children's play, "The Princess and
Mr. Parker."

Music may have charms that sooth-
eth the savage breast, but the spoken
word hath lpowers to subdue the
world. At least this seems to be
the theory upon which the Depart-.
ment of Speech and General Linguis-
tics will operate during the ensuing
Summer Session.
Beginning June 29, the official date
of the opening of the forty-third an-
nual Summer Session, and continu-
ing until August 21, this department
will carry on an extended and varied
program of forensic and research ac-
tivities.
To Conduct Research
Speech courses scheduled for this
summer will be designed to provide a
knowledge of and proficiency in pub-
lic speaking, debate, oral reading,
dramatics, broadcasting and hermen-
eutics. Research and experimental
work will bet conducted in many
phases of speech, phonetics, general
linguistics, and, the correction of
speech disorders.
Of special interest to beginning stu-
dents are the modifications and de-
velopments in linguistic courses. The
changes in these courses have been
made in response to an insistent de-
mand for a more vital and organic
interpretation of language in rela-
tion to the building of the person-
ality and to the problems of daily
life.
Several courses will be provided fo
students of ancient and modern lan-
guages, with the aim of familiarizing
the student with the general prin-
ciples and methods of the science o:
language, for presenting the most im-
portant facts in the growth of eac
language, and of directing the student
inoriginal investigations.
Especially qualified students will be
trained to become teachers in on
or more of the following fields; (1.
the composition and delivery o
speeches; (2) debate and coaching
of debate teams; (3) oral readini
and dramatics (acting and produc
ing); (4) phonetics and general ling-
uistics; (5) correction of seech dis
orders.
Committee Has Charge
Courses will be presented which leac
to the degrees of Doctor of Philos-
ophy and'Doctor of Science. A com
mittee of the department will direc
the concentration of programs of al
students desiring to follow a degre
program in speech.
This summer the department offer
cpceptional opportunit(es to high
school and college teachers of dra
matics, to community and little-the
atre directors and to those lookin
forward to professional careers in th
theater. Extensive plans have bee
made whereby students enrolled in th
courses may come into close contac
with the multifold workings of a liv
theatre organization. These oppor
tunities will be supplemented by clas
instruction and participation in pri
vate laboratory presentations fo
those students whose experience an
