rAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JAN 20, 1937 Prof. E.C. Case Tells Of State's EarlyAnimals Musemn Head Discusses Mastodons, Elephants In Radio Broadcast In one of the "actuality" broadcast features of the University radio sta- tion, Prof. Waldo Abbot, director of the studio, yesterday interviewed Prof. Ermine C.' Case, head of the Museum of Paleontology, on the early mastodons, elephants, and Paul Bunyan musk-oxen, which inhabited Michigan millions of years ago. Michigan was literally infested with mastodons hundreds of mil- lions of years ago, according to Pro- fessor Case, who explained that mas- todons and elephants are not essen- tially warm climate animals. "The reason," he said, "we have such ac- curate knowledge of the mastodons is that they have been very well pre- served for us They were accustomed to eat vegetation, buds, grass, and flowers, that grew near the swamps located in the northern part of the! State. Then, when they died, and sank in the mud, the mud would eventually harden, leaving the fos- sils." As for the Paul Bunyan musk-ox that used to roam the wilds of Mich- igan, Professor Case was somewhat doubtful whether the large one, whose remains were on exhibition, ever was able to cut through a six- ieet thick tree in six minutes as some have maintained. Nevertheless, the broadcast revealed that this animal did have many capabilities. There is a fairly long period of time that remains unrecorded in the history of Michigan, ProfessornCase said-several hundred million years, in fact. It seems, he explained, that the glaciers coming down from Canada made a mess of everything, leaving rocks and sand and spoiling the fun of a lot of animals that used to play around this territory. As a matter of fact, he said, that is the reason why Michigan lost out in the carboniferous period when the coal was being formed. Also, at that time the territory was somewhat sub- merged. Exhibit Of Art Photos OnViewI For Two Weeks Display Includes Works By Alumni Of American College In Rome An exhibit of photographs of works by members of the Alumni Associa- tion of the American Academy in Rome are now on display for a two- week period in the third floor exhibi- tion room of the College of Archi- tecture building. The exhibition, sponsored by the College Art Association, consists of photographs compiled by the Alumni Association of outstanding works by several of its members in the fields of painting, sculpture, architecture, and landscape design. It consists of over 125 large size photographs of works by about 54 different 'artists. The Association is active in art fields, especially in New York City where a majority of its members reside, and this exhibit is one of a number of exhibitions and competitions it has sponsored. Among painters who are repre- sented in the exhibit are Ezra Win- ter, of Detroit, who painted the mur- als of the Cunard Building in New York City, and Alfred Floegel, who did the stained glass work at Cran- brook Chapel. Others include Eugene Savage, Salvatore Lescari, Berry Faulkner, and Francis Bradford. In a separate group are works of fa- mous sculptors who are members of the Association. These include photographs of works done by Leo Friedlander, Herman MacNell, and, John Gregory among men of older l reputation, and among younger men who are becoming well known, Ed- mond Amateis, Paul Jennewein, and Walker Hancock. Projects of Wil- liam Douglas, William Bottomley, and F. C. Hirons are among those in- cluded among the architects. The exhibition will be in Ann Ar- bor until Jan. 29, only as it is on a tour of several universities and col- leges throughout the country. Stu- dents interested in fine arts, sculp- ture, and architecture will be most interested in the exhibit, Prof. Ralph W. Hammett of the College of Ar- chitecture, who is in charge, stated yesterday. It is of special general interest because of the excellence of the photography and because of the subject, he said.

John Wagner, a member of the com- mittee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. raising the money, an- nounced yesterday. Mr. Wagner explained that $400 is deeded to complete the fund from{ which transmitting and receiving, equipment for each of the three local scout cars as well as a transmitting and receiving equipment for the po- lice station will be purchased. Eleven hundred dollars have already been raised by subscription of local mer- chants. Some equipment has already been purchased, Mr. Wagner said, and the amount requested is required to buy materials necessary for the complete system. Thetwo-way communication will be put . into use as soon as the remaining materials are bought, and the transmitters and receivers are constructed, he declared. "For," Mr. Wagner went on to explain, "there are several officers of the police force that already have complete radio training, and are able to operate1 both transmitters and receivers." Many other policemen are now re- ceiving radio training. "It is hoped that the fraternities will give their cooperation to this drive, for a quicker means of com- munication between the police sta- tion and scout cars will greatly aid in cutting down crime in Ann Arbor," Cheery 'Good Morning' Old Globe Theatre Players Are Praised By Dr. Harold Whitehall The popularized version of Shake- spearean drama presented by the Old Globe Theatre Players last week at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre was applauded yesterday by Dr. Har- old Whitehall of the English depart- ment as recreating the true atmo- sphere of the Shakespeare of Eliza- bethan days. "We tend to approach Shakespeare in the same spirit in which we go to church," said Dr. Whitehall. "We are obsessed with his greatness as a poet, his depth of philosophy and hisv development of character to such a degree that we seldom think of him as a playwright pure and simple. That was the most important thing the Globe Players did -show us Shakespeare as his contemporaries saw him, a playwright with every skill a playwright must have at his fingertips.

Coming Events J.G.P., Members of the Ticket Com- mittee: The first meeting will be held Friday, Jan. 22, at 4:30 p.m. The room will be posted on the bul- letin board. It is important for all members to attend. Independents planning on attend- ing the J-Hop, who have not made booth arrangements, meet at 7:301 "The lines of Shakespeare, aside from their poetical value. are stage dialogues of the utmost brilliance. The great Shakespearean metaphors, marvellously effective as poetry, were shown by the Players to be equally effective as dramatic passages." Dr. Whitehall praised the direction of Thomas Wood Stevens and the arranging of B. Iden Payne in par- ticular, saying that it was chiefly their work which gave the perform- ances their tremendous pace and liveliness. The cutting, which in some instances he admitted may have been detrimental to the production, "Dr. Whitehall said was necessary to keep the presentation in the channel planned by Stevens, that of an Eliz- abethan Shakespeare. "Maxwell Anderson has attempted in some of his recent plays, as "Win- terset" and "Wingless Victory," a use of poetical language similar to that of Shakespeare," Dr. Whitehall re- marked, "but although his dialogue is undeniably ef ective, he lacks Shakespeare's concrete imagery and vocabulary "With a direction of the eminence of S'evens' it is unfortunate that he isn't subsidized to be given a com- pletely free hand for his theories and allowed to become a permanent dramatic institution in this country," Dr. Whitehall concluded. Two Stolen Cars Are Recovered By Police Two automobiles, one stolen from the rear of the University City Sales garage, 315 W. Huron, and one taken from Mrs. Wanda Walker, Jennings house, were recovered by police Monday night. A 12-year old boy admitted the theft of the car from the garage and was taken into custody by the police.

His purpose in making the tour, he said, was not to determine means of combatting technological ob- stacles, but to find out the best means of projecting the best avail-' able educational training with the equipment already at his disposa. "Michigan," he emphasized, "is really a prophet unhonored in its own locale.
