Princeton University, on Thursday,

O'Flaherty's 'Puritan'
Will Be Shown Here
Liam O'Flaherty has created an-
other picture, which in the opinion of
several critics, "is one of the most
powerful, one of the most challeng-
ing produced since the same author's
prize-winner, 'The Informer'."
"The Puritan," a French produc-
tion, will be shown at 8:15 p.m.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday in
the Lydia Medelssohn Theatre by the
Art Cinemha League. Tickets will go
on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the
League box office.
The film, the source of a great deal
of controversy in Ireland and par-
ticularly in New York state, is a deep
psychological study of a man who
kills a woman, and an expression of
opposition to censorship imposed out-
side the law. Full of subtle and soul-
ful meanings, "The Puritan" is one of
the most provocative films ever to
be shown in Ann Arbor.

EX- GOVERNOR DICKI?4SON
LANSING, Nov. 15-IP)-Luren D.
Dickinson, 82-year-old former gover-
nor, informed news men today he
wished women would cease asking for
his hand in marriage-especially
those he described as "maiden an-
tiques."
"I have to use some time and tact,"
he complained in a prepared state
ment "with the numerous selfstyled
AacIeNGrel, Ncomp5-a'Dnnbl
and loveable grass and other widows,
and shy, artificial faced maiden an-
tiques who write me from Arkansas,
Oklahoma, California and elsewhere."
His complaint was similar to one
he voited when, as governor at 81,
he reported he was receivmng many
wooing letters.
As ti those instances, Dickinson
declared, he replies by "guardedly
telling them that sailing on the mat-
rimonial sea with me might not be as
smooth as they picture.c g
Mrs. Dickinson died in 1940.
Dickinson is to leave soon for a
trip to Florida, "for a change but not
a vacation, as I don't know what that
is like."
