Globe Theatre Players To Perform Here Next Saturday
For Last Month
Students Take Advantage
Of Christmas Vacation
For Minor Operations
The monthly report for December
issued yesterday by Dr. Margaret
Bell, acting director of the Health
Service, showed a slight increase in
dispensary calls over the same period
last year. There were 8,764 calls
during December, 1936, and 8.153
calls during the same month in 1935.
Dr. Bell said, "We seem to have
been quite fortunate in that the
rather general epidemic of flu did
not affect the students before vaca-
tion."
During the Christmas vacation the
Health Service was open, and many
students took advantage of this time
to secure non-emergency operations.
They also obtained care after their
operations in the Health Service In-
firmary. Forty-two elective nose and
throat operations were performed at
the Health Service during December,
of which 32 were done during the va-
cation period.
In December there were 162 pa-
tients in the Infirmary. Mental hy-
giene interviews were given to 1,279,
and laboratory determinartions to 1-
653. X-ray examinations were given
to 242 during the month.
There was a slight increase of re-
fractions for glasses in December
over the same period in 1935. During
the month 1,001 prescriptions were
filled.
Although there were 707 acute res-
piratory infections or "colds" there
were only two cases of pneumonia.
Ten students had acute appendicitis.
Two deaths occurred during the
month.
Four Members
Of Faculty Visit
Lingual Meeting
Four members of the University
German department spent the
Christmas holidays at the annual
convention for teachers of modern
languages, held this year in Rich-
mond, Va.
Those from Michigan were Prof.
Arthur Van Duren, Prof. Norman L.
Willey, Prof. John W. Eaton, and
Prof. Walter A. Reichart.
Professor Eaton presented a
treatise on "Popular Literature in
18th Century German" to the com-
paritive literature section of the con-
vention, while the committee on An-
glo-German literary relations was
headed by Professor Reichart. Prof.
Ernst A. Phillippson was scheduled
also to make the trip, however, last-
minute circumstances prevented his
departure and his paper was read to
the meeting.
The German section of the con-
vention was singularly honored, de-
clared Professor Reichart, by the
election of Prof. E. Prokosh, eminent
scholar and professor of German at
Yale University, to the presidency of
the convention for the coming year.
Art Cinema To Give
French Film Jan.12
The French version of Victor
Hugo's "Les Miserables," starring
Harry Baur, will be presented Tues-
day and Wednesday, Jan. 12 and 13,
at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre by
the Art Cinema League in conjunc-
tion with the Romance Language De-
partment.
The picture, which has English
sub-titles, will be shown at matinee
and evening performances on Tues-
day and Wednesday. The box office
of the Lydia Mendelssohn will open
Monday morning for reservations.
The film has a running time of two
and three-quarter hours, and con-
sists of two parts. The first, "A
Tempest in a Brain," traces Jean
Valjean's story from his escape from
the galleys to his experiences in the
French Revolution of 1832, which are
portrayed in the second part, "Lib-
erty, Dear Liberty."
FALLS 65 FEET SAFELY
CHARLESTON, W. Va., Jan. 9.-
( u-A boy fell 65 feetdfrom thertop
of the city building today and broke
only two small bones in his heels.
Police Chief Z. A. Tully said the,
boy, Harry Maxwell, of Columbus, O.,
escaped from a detention home where
he was being held for juvenile au-
thorities and climbed to the roof.
This picture shows a group of the Globe Theatre Players in typical costumes used in one of their Shake-
spearean presentations. At various times the Players have included among their members students and
graduates of the Univer'ity of Michigan. The director of the group, Thomas Wood Stevens, was guest
director cf the Michigan Repertory Players for several summers. The Players will present next Saturday
Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew," "Midsummer Night's Dream," "Comedy of Errors," and Marlowe's "Dr.
Faustus."
5OOOO Acres
Lost In Forest
Fires Of 1936
Isle Royale, Green School,
Luce And Traunik Blazes
Are Largest In State
Despite the driesu weather condi-
tions since 1931, when 200,000 acres
were burned,forest fire losses in 1936
were confined' to 50,000 acres of
Michigan land, figures from the State
Department of Conservation show.
Four fires took the major toll dur-
ing the year 1936. Of these the
Isle Royale fire which burned over
approximately 10,000 acres of land,
one third -of the island's total area,
did the most damage. Next in im-
portance was the Green School fire in
Schoolcraft county which took 8,000
acres. The other two were the Luce
county fire, 2,400 acres, and the
Traunik fire in the central part of
the Upper Peninsula which destroyed'
3,824 acres.
Reporting the condition to lum-
bermen's meeting here, Durwood
Robeson of the conservation depart-
ment declared, "The reduction in
acreage lost can be attributed to a
cooperative and fire-minded public,
additional fire equipment better
adapted to fire control and a better
trained and efficient fire organiza-
tion."
Training schools; held by the con-
servation department since 1932,
have greatly improved the efficiency
of the regional conservation officers
in all phases of their work, Robeson
said.
One of the outstanding mechanical
developments of the department is a
combination tractor-plow-pump. Af-
ter this unit has plowed a fire line,
the tractor power is used to drive a
well pump in "mop-up" work, prac-
tically doubling the usefulness of the
machine.
Radio is also playing an important
and increasing part in quick fire
management. At present a low-fre-
quency system is used for communi-
cation between district offices and
portable sets located at fire sites. In
addition, an ultra high-frequency
system is being developed to permit
talking between fire tower men and
the cars used by conservation officers
in the field.
36 ARE INDICTED
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 9.-(/P')-A
Federal grand jury clamped conspir-
acy indictments today on 36 persons,
mostly election officials, in a drive to
purge the city of notorious November
vote frauds.
The indictments were labeled "just
a start" by United Statps Attorney
Maurice M. Milligan.

New Nose - Spray
May Help Prevent
Infantile Paralysis
A new nose spray, consisting of a
one-half to one per cent solution of
zinc sulphate, is now being tested in
the University Hospital as appossible
preventive for infantile paralysis,
Dr. Max Peet, professor of surgery,
announced yesterday.
"The solution has real possibilities,"
Dr. Peet said. "In monkeys it has
given 100 per cent protection even
when they were given a highly ac-
tive virus."
Dr. Peet said he felt the solution
would prove to be even more effective
than the picric acid alum solution,
which was widely and very success-
fully used as a nose spray last year.
Knowledge of the new solution
came from Dr. Edwin W. Schultz, 49,
pathologist and professor of bacter-
iology at Stanford, whom Dr. Peet
met at a conference of the Medical
Advisory Committee of the Presi-
dent's Birthday Ball Commission for
Infantile Paralysis Research, which
met this week in New York.
The experimentation is being con-
ducted at the hospital to find out
how irritating the solution is to hu-
mans, Dr. Peet said.
Bureau To Hold
Placement And
Guidance Meet
A conference on "Guidance and
Placements" for students, business
personnel managers and high school
guidance teachers will be sponsored
by the University Bureau of Appoint-
ments and Occupational Information
during the second week in March, it
was announced yesterday by Dr. T.
Luther Purdom, director of the Bu-
reau.
"The purpose of the conference,"
Dr. Purdom said, "will be to acquaint
students with the factors necessary
for achievement after they receive
employment."
"At the same time," he said, "we of
the Bureau will attempt to acquaint
the businessmen and high school
guidance teachers with the type of
work the University is doing to help
the individual student make effective
personal adjustments in order to se-
cure the job for which he or she is
best suited."
Latin America
To Be Subject
Of Talk Jan.16
Foster To Discuss Conflict
In Mexico Between State
And Church
Dr. O. Delmer Foster, educator and
world-traveler, will deliver three lec-
tures on Mexico and Central America
to student and faculty members next
Saturday and Sunday.
Dr. Foster will speak on the con-
flict between the church and state
in Mexico, and in different lectures
will discuss archaeological and geo-
graphical wonders of Mexico and
Central America, from which coun-
tries he has just returned after a
year's sojourn.
Dr. Foster covered practically all of
Mexico in his travels by train, bus,
automobile, freight-boat, canoe,
horse and on foot. He carried letters
of introduction to bishops and arch-
bishops with whom he lived while
they were in hiding from the Mexican
government. He also became ac-
quainted and conferred frequently
with high officials in the Mexican
government.
He is a graduate of Manchester
College and has degrees from Oberlin
and Yale, at which University he
taught for some time. As Y.M.C.A.
speaker and organizer in the war, he
organized and directed the Comrades
in Service Movement, which included
all the welfare agencies in the war
along with officers and soldiers.

Globe Players Use Elizabethan
Sets For Shakespearean Plays
Reproduction Of Original
Stage Carried By Group
To All Parts Of U. S.
By ELSIE ROXBOROUGH
When men dressed as women, be-
cause it was deemed unladylike for!
women to play such daring parts as!
"Juliet" and "Desdemona," and!
when an audience of some boisterous
skeptical males came prepared with
lunchbaskets and clubs and stones to
spend from four to five hours on cold
rock seats, the structure of the
theatre was of necessity unique in-
deed-as is the set with which the
Globe Theatre Company now travels.
The Globe Theatre, which will pre-
sent a group of four plays at the
Lydia Mendelssohn theatre, Satur-
day, Jan. 16, condensed to 40 minutes
running time, as is their custom, is
one of the foremost Shakespearean
companies in America today.
Original Stage Reproduced
It is to be remembered that Shake-
speare's plays were facilitated in their!
tabloid form of continuous scenes by!
an inner and outer stage. A per-
manent balcony was an integral part
of the Elizabethan stage set, as well.
There were also the formal, arched
places of entrance and exit both on
the level and the balcony to make it
easier, too, for the characters to get
>n and off-and still apparently miss
one another, very discreetly and
'ompletely.
A faithful replica of this arrange-
nent has been carried around by the
Globe Theatre players for three suc-
cessful years now, during which tim e
they have enjoyed residence at the
World's Fair in Chicago, and the ex-
positions at San Diego, Dallas and
Cleveland. They have found the
present-day audiences much more re-
ceptive than those of the earlier six-
teenth century, who found it diffi-
cult to remain calm at the sight of a
villain or poor actor.
Caldwell Recalls Performance
As John Milton Caldwell, '36, cam-
pus playwright, recalls, "In Chicago,
'The Comedy of Errors' was so well
done and so completely understand-
able that housewives and salesmen
who had never heard of Shakespeare
and whose comedy fare had been
Mae West and Laurel and Hardy,
were really 'laid out in rows' and
laughed like fools!-and so did I."
Mr. Caldwell further described the
hilarity which the Chicago produc-
tion afforded in its dancing on the
green with flageolet and drum be-!
tween performances when simple
magic, a dancing bear, an organ-
grinder with his monkey and Scotch
highlanders with bagpipes also en-
tertained. He wondered wistfully if
the forthcoming company would sell
Banbury tarts during the Ann Arbor
performance!
Although the Globe Theatre does

not go far as to have thrones come
out of the air for the king to sit up-
on when he finds it necessary, and
title-marks to describe trees and for-
ests, they have done away with props
as much as possible. In very beau-
tifully designed Elizabethan costumes
they seek to make the spectator feel
that he is actually on Stratford-on-
the-Avon, far removed from the cyn-
icism of an American audience.

(Continued from Page 1)
that the estimates for relief and re-t
covery for the fiscal year of 1938t
will be considerably less than for this
year, Professor Dorr stated. "In thet
budget message the President empha-
sized the need for cooperation on the
part of business," he added, "but in-
timated. that he would be willing toj
spend any amount necessary to carry
out a relief program although he
hopes that business will help by ad-
justing itself to the situation and
thereby save itself from possible new
tax levies."
The Civilian Conservation Corpsf
has been transferred from the emer-
gency to the regular budget, Profes-
sor Dorr said, and it is reasonable to
expect, he added, that other emer-
gency items will be similarly trans-
ferred. "This is indicative," Profes-
sor Dori said, "that the national gov-
ernment intends to stay in the relief
business and naturally wants to ad-
minister the business efficiently."
The creation of a new department
with a cabinet secretary to look after
relief and recovery agencies would
definitely mark the placing of the re-
lief program in the category of a per-
manent governmental activity, Pro-
fessor Dorr feels.
"It is a pretty safe guess that
Harry Hopkins will be the one to be
appointed to the job if the post is
created," Professor Dorr said.
