Ann Arbor turns today from the
brilliant May Festival to the festival
of the theatre which will be pre-
sented for the next five weeks in the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, during
the 1936 Dramatic Season under the
direction of Robert Henderson.
In a season ranging from Shake-
speare to the latest New York suc-
cesses of the year, the Dramatic Sea-
son brings such noted New York
and Hollywood stars as Blanche
Yurka, Kenneth MacKenna, Ian
Keith, Estelle Winwood, Eddie Garr,
Francis Maddux, Albert Van Dekker,
Margalo Gilmore and Effie Shannon
in the five weeks from May 18 through
June 20.
"Libel" Shows First
The festival opens tomorrow night
at 8:15 p.m. with the latest Gilbert
Miller Success, "Libel," by Edward
Wooll, which has just completed a
season's run at the Henry Miller
theatre in New York. "Libel" will
play a five-day run which will in-
clude matinees on Wednesday and
Friday.
The leading role will be taken by
Kenneth McKenna, who has been an
actor and manager in both stage
and film productions. The cast in-
cludes Ernest Lawford in the role
he created in the original New York
production; Doris Dalton, beautiful
young Broadway star; Muriel Hutch-
inson, a protege of Blanche Yurka,
who will also appear in "The Dis-
taff Side" during the third week of
th Festival; -Anai Handley, George
Somnes, Eduard Franz, Reginald Pole
and Mr. Henderson.
"Hamlet" Given Third Week
Ivor Novello's comedy with music,
"Party," with Estelle Winwood, Miss
Dalton, Eddie Garr and Francis Mad-
dux will succeed "Libel" from May
23 through May 29. In its third week,
the Festival will reach its climax with
Ian Keith playing "Hamlet" to Miss
Dalton's Ophelia and Miss Winwood's
Queen Gertrude. Miss Winwood will
play the same role next fall in Leslie
Howard's production of "Hamlet."
The sets for this production have
been created by the New York de-
signer, Norman Bel-Geddes.
The last two productions of the
Festival will be Elsie Schauffler's cur-
rent New York success, "Parnell," with
Albert Van Dekker in the title role,
Effie Shannon of the original cast,
and Margalo Gilmore and Ann i
Rand's "Night of January 16," a melo-
drama which has enjoyed the long-
est run of any play presented on
Broadway this year, with Van Dekker,
a member of the original New York
cast, as prosecuting attorney.
Pole Gives Four Lectures
In addition to the six plays of the
Dramatic Season, there will also be

14-Hit Barage Enables The
Wolverines To Win Last
Game With Ease
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., May 16. - (Spe-
cial to The Daily) - The University
of Michigan's championship-bound
baseball team split a double bill here
today with Illinois to remain in a tie
for first place with Iowa which also
dropped its first Big Ten game to
Wisconsin.
Although outhit in the first game,
the fighting Illini came across with
the winning punch in the fifth in-
ning to win the tilt 3 to 2. A 14-hit
barrage by the Wolverines in the sec-
ond game enabled them to take the
night cap with ease, 9 to 3.
Michigan's two runs in the opener
came in the first inning. Rudness,
stealing second after garnering a saf-
ety from Swanson, ace of the Illinois
moundsmen, came home with the first
run of the game on Lerner's single.
Lerner advanced to third on Uricek's
single and scored when Jablonski was
called safe on the keystone sack after
an Illini error.
Illinois also scored in the first and
won the game in the fifth inning on
Dancisak's triple which scored both
Melino and Reinhart, who got on the
paths through Brewer's error. Cap-
tain Berger Larson, pitching the whole
route for the Wolverines allowed only
five hits while his teammates were
garnering eight from Swanson.
The tables were turned in the final
game when the Illini scored all three
of their runs in the first inning while
Michigan was able to push across
only one run in their half of that
stanza, Rudness scoring on Jablon-
ski's hit after he had been advanced
on the bases by Uricek's single. Kre-
mer scored for the Wolverines in the
second on Heyliger's single and the
score was tied up in the third when
another Michigan run was pushed
across the home plate.
Rudness sacrificed Fishman, who
allowed only four hits in the seven
innings that he worked, to second,
and the Wolverine left hander then
scored on Brewer's hit in the fifth
inning to put the Illini at a one run
disadvantage. a
A five run hitting spree in the
eighth stanza put the game on ice for
Coach Ray Fisher's men, who added
one more run in the ninth just for
good measure. Uricek opened the
eighth with a triple and scored imme-
diately as Jablonski duplicated his
feat.
Lerner followed with a double that
scored the Wolverine catcher, and
then scored himself on a fielder's
choice after he had advanced to third
on a wild throw by the Illinois catcher.
Berg then surrendered the mound to
Cherry who in turn abdicated in fa-
vor of Sainti when Nichelwicz went
to bat for the second Illini pitcher
in the ninth inning. Lanky John
Gee pitched the first two innings for
the Wolverines, allowing four hits
in the time that he worked. Fishman

pleasure seekers at a Detroit amuse-.

night as flames swept through four
concessions. Firemen continued a
search of the ruins after a report a j
child also might have been trapped
by the flames.
The three bodies were taken from
the dimly-lighted "Jungles," a maze
of passages overhung with grass, in
which mechanical animals with
lighted eyes leaped out at thrill-
seekers.
Three other persons were brought
to a Detroit hospital, one, Mrs.
Frances Zomkowski, 22, seriously'
burned on the face and arms.
The flames, spreading swiftly to
adjoning concessions, threw the elec-
trio plant of the (Eastwood) park out
of commission, and halted a giant
ferris wheel.
