Drama Season
To Star Na gel,
Madge Evans
By JEAN SHAPERO
Headed by such outstanding actors
as Conrad Nagel, Madge Evans, Lu-
ther Adler and Sylvia Sydney, a gal-
axy of theatrical stars will bring to
Ann Arbor one of the finest Drama
Seasons held here in recent years.
The first play will open May 19 and
the festival will continue through
June 21.
Initial play of the group will be
the James Thurber-Elliott Nugent
comedy of campus life, "The Male
Animal," which was a Broadway hit
last year and an equally popular show
on the road. Conrad Nagel, former
screen star who has been devoting his
talents in recent years to the field
of radio, will play the leading role.
Ilka Chase To Appear
Ilka Chase, stage, screen and radio
star will appear in the Gertrude Law-
rence role in "Skylark," which will
run the second week of the drama
festival. The comedy by Samson Ra-
phaelson ran last year on Broadway
and will provide a new vehicle for
the versatile Miss Chase, who has re-
cently made many appearances on the
lecture platform throughout the
country. '
"Ladiestin Retirement," termed by
many critics the best mystery play
of latecseasons, will feature Ruth
Gordon, known for her screen ap-
pearances as Mary Todd in "Abe Lin-
coln in Illinois," Victoria in "Dis-
raeli" and Mrs.sEhrlich in "Dr. Ehr-
lich's Magic Bullet." Like the two
preceding plays, "Ladies in Retire-
ment" has enjoyed a successful sea-
son on Broadway and the road the
past year.
"Man And Superman"
George Bernard Shaw's work will
again be performed at the Lydia Men-
delssohn as "Man and Superman" will
be presented the fourth week of the
festival, Madge Evans, whose appear-
ance last year in "The World We
Make" brought requests for her re-
turn, will play a leading part, oppo-
site Hiram Sherman, who will be re-
membered by Ann Arbor audiences
for his portrayal of Autolycus in last
year's "Winter's Tale."
Concluding the season will be Clif-
ford Odets' hit "Golden Boy," with
Luther Adler playing the role he cre-
ated on Broadway. His co-star in the
recent success "The Gentle People"
- will play opposite him in "Golden
Boy," as Sylvia Sidney will appear in
the role of the prize fighter's girl
friend. She will be remembered too,
for her screen roles in "Dead End,"
"Fury" and "The Trail of the Lone-
some Pine," among others.
Windt Will Direct
Prof. Valentine B. Windt of the
speech department, who directed the
season last year, will return again
this year as director, with Mrs. Lu-
cille W. Walz as business manager
and James D. Murnan as company
manager. Counter sale of season tick-
ets will open Thursday, May 1, at the
Garden Room of the Michigan
League, with mail orders being filled
before that date.
Patrons will receive the complete

To General Meeting
Demonstration Plans
Will Be Discussed
A former student of the University
-Senator Burton K. Wheeler, '05L,
of Montana-will return to Ann
Arbor May 5 to address the annual
student peace rally.
The senior Democratic senator, an
outspoken foe of the President's for-
eign policy, accepted the invitation
of the Campus Peace Council to be
its keynote speaker at the traditional
spring peace demonstration after
weeks of negotiating to fit the local
rally into his crowded schedule.
Wheeler is at present on a national
barnstorming tour to personally bring
the position of Administration foes
before the people. ,
Nominal leader of the group
of approximately 75 Congressmen
pledged to opposition to the Presi-
dent's foreign policy, Wheeler will
bring to the campus the silver tongue
which friends say first elected him
a United States Senator in 1922. He
has been in the Senate continously
since then, ran for vice-president as
a Progressive in 1924 with the elder
LaFollette andt figured prominently
as a presidential candidate in the
last election.
Though he declined to oppose the
third term aspirations of the Presi-
dent, he has since become a bitter
foe, paralleling the leadership he
took in the battle over the court re-
organization in 197. Wheeler and
his associates beat the President on
that issue, but lost the first round
of the present bout when Congress
passed the lease-lend bill by substan-
tial majorities. According to his
own statement he is now taking that
fight before the American public in
a series of radio and platform ad-
dresses throughout the counry, son-
sored by the loose coalition of 'peace'
groups which have formed in recent
months.
There will be a general meetipg
of the Campus Peace Council at 8
p.m. tomorrow in Room 304 of the
Union. Definite plans, including
program, finances and publicity. All
students interested in working on this
committee are invited to attend.
Co-Op Group

Tomorrow
The first interviews for men in-
terested in membership in student
cooperative houses next semester will

operative Council Personnel Commit-
tee announced yesterday.

or board in one of Michigan's famous
cooperatives are requested to apply
by coming in person for an inter-
view. The interviews will be given

'Worse Than Dunkerque
As Germans Advance
Frontier Battle
RagesIn Albania
CFSME, Turkey, April 21.-P)-
Against odds figured as worse than
those at Dunkerque a, British army
of between 50000 and 80,000 men to-
night was reported fighting a slow
retreat to the southernmost embarka-
tion point of Greece.
The heroic Greek infantry, with
little or no chance to escape the coun-
try, is sacrificing itself to cover the
British flank in an allied disaster
that has been inevitable since the
third day of te German Balkan cam-
paign, when a Nazi armored column
smashed southward through Bitol
Gap.
Allied Forces Saved
Feats of legendary heroism by
Greeks and British alike saved the
Allied forces on Mount Olympus from
being cut off by German tanks fan-
ning out over the plain of Thessaly.
Unless a long rearguard action can
be fought in central Greece and the
Peloponnesus; it was feared there was
small chance for the escape of the
Australian and New Zealand divisions
and detachments of Britons and
Scots.
A large amount of motorized equip-
ment, guns, munitions, and other
stores must be considered as lost.
A wound 9d British pilot said Stuka
bombers destroyed 17 British planes
at a big air base in Larisa before the
Germans captured that town. Fifty
of the ground crew were killed.
Other Stukas were said to have
fired 41 Yugoslav planes refuged on
Greek fields.
Battle Rages In Albania
Meanwhile, Italian dispatches
said a "big battle to wipe out the
Greek army" was in progress today
along the Albanian frontier, with 14
divisions threatened at their back by
the Germans and caught in a vise
between the Italians and the Ionian
Sea.
The Greeks were declared to be vir-
tually helpless, partly because of the
clutter of their own impedimenta of
war, which they now have to aban-
don on the cloggedroads.
The greatest slaughter and destruc-
tion is taking place at the ruins of
Perati Bridge, which slianned* the
Viosa River gorge at the Greek-Al-
banian frontier, Il Popolo di Roma's
correspondent reported.
Fascist dive-bombers were said to
have blasted away at the structure,
trapping the Greek army on jammed
roads. Waves of 500 bombing and
machine-gunning planes and shell
bursts from Italian artillery were de-
clared working havoc among them.

Miners To End
Coal1Dispute
(By The Associated Press)
President Roosevelt intervened in
the coal dispute last night, asserting
in a public statement that production
"must be resumed, and promptly" in
the interest of national defense.
He proposed that the northern op-
erators of the Appalachian area and
United Mine Workers, who came to
an understanding last week on a new
wage contract, resume production un-
der the terms of that agreement.

Good Will To U.S., Bryan Says
By BILL BAKER
The one man who has done the
most to promote good will and friend-
ship between the United States and
Argentina has been, paradoxically
enough, Adolf Hitler, Julien Bryan,
photographer and lecturer, stated
here in an Oratorical Series illustrat-
ed lecture last night.
France's fall was a great blow to
the people of Argentina, whose clos-
est cultural ties were with that na-

motion pictures, will deal with

occupation of Paris, Argentinians
have begun to distrust Hitler more
than ever before.
problem now, chiefly by economic
activity."
Mr. Bryan proposed two remedies
to combat Axis penetration into Ar-
gentina and other South American
countries. The first involves not only
the increase in our sales to that
country, but more important, the in-
crease in the goods that we buy
from Argentina.
Our buying from Argentina will
not compete with producers of simi-
lar products in our country, he ex-
plained. In the case of beef, which
would be their main export, we would
buy only canned beef, and little or
no American beef is sold as tinned
meat. Cattle growers have admit-
ted that the importation of $50,000,-
000 worth of Argentine tinned beef
a year would in no way hurt their
business.
In addition to this, he continued,
we must promote "three way trade,"
