In a theater formed by a burlap
canopy stretched over the campus be-
tween the Library and the Museum,
the Shakespearean Playhouse com-
pany of New York, will give two
Shakespearean and two modern plays
on Aug. 3, 4, and 5. This 'company
is being brought here byethe English
department of the University, and is'
a part of the summer entertainment,
program.
The Shakespearean Playhouse, which
was founded by Frank McEntee in-
1918, is ais association of artists and
experienced actors for the production
not only of Shakespearean drama but
also for the best modern plays. The
press of New York City has com-
:mented enthusiastically on the pur-
pose and ability of this organization,
and newspapers in many cities have
endorsed this praise.
Mr. McEntee was for many years
an actor with the original Ben .Greet
Players, taking part in Ap less than
75 different Shakespearean roles. For
three years he directed the eastern
division of the enlarged Ben Greet
organization and' at the other time he
was associate director with Henry
Jewett of the Copley theater at Boston.,
Mr. McEntee is at present playing
leading roles in his own company
which is the one appearing here un-
der his. directorship.
Miss Elsie Herndon Kearns, one of
the company, was with McEntee in
the original Shakespeare Playhouse
productions of the "Merchant of Ven-
ice" at the Cort theater in New York
City. Miss Kearns headed her own
company on tour in a Shakespearean
repertory and last summer she play-
ed leading roles-with McEntee on tour.
Ealrier this season Miss Kearns has
been playing leading parts on tour
with Walter Hampden's company.

a number of years was broken at .the
Flint Country club today, when C. S.
Wells,'University of Michigan instruc-
tor and G. M. Guilbert, of Saginaw, a
newcomer in state 'golf circles sur-
prised the 200 entries. They led the
Worden Hunter, Country club, of De-
field with 75, one stroke'better than T.

Three other players got in with bet-

tenaw, scored 78; while James B.
Standish, Jr., and A. Z. Lee, Jr., Loch-
moor, of Detroit and Detroit Golf club,
-scored 79.

Seven players tied at 85 and since
there was room for only three of them

hole while the other two won their
positions with three's by the short
second.
Worden Hunter, one of the earlier.
starters, held the lead with his 76 un-
til in mid-afternoon when Gilbert
slipped under the wire one stroke
better than the .Detroiter with 75.
DENBY HAS NARROW ESCAPE
WHEN 'PLANE ENGINE FAILS

(By Katherine E. Styer)
Changes in methods of giving per-
formances in the French theater from
the sixteenth century to the present
day were-discussed in connection with
a brief tracing of the history of "The
Development of, the French Theaer"
by Dean John R. Effinger, of the Lit-
erary college, in Natural Science aud-
itorium yeserday afternoon. The lec-
ture was illustrated with slides made
from the collection of engravings in
the National ibrary in Paris.
A minature reproduction of the me-
dieval theater taken from a picture in
"T.he Passion Play" given in 1574 was
shown. The scenes were all set 'on
the stage at the same time and the
actors sinply changed their positions
to indicate that the scene had shifted.
Street Shows in Vogue
About 1570, street performances
were greatly in vogue, but these grad-
ually resolved themselves into shows
in booths given chiefly for the pur-
pose of attracting the attention of the
passing crowds to the owner's wares,
patent medicines, "positive antidotes
for poison,"' and so forth.
Gradually all scenery was done
away with and the conventional set-
ting was a perfectly bare room with a
door in each of the three walls. A,
chair placed in the center" of the
back of the stage indicated that an
interior rather than an exterior scene
was represented. This type .of set-
ting was used for practically all of,
the plays of Corneille, Racine, and,
Moliere. No effort was made to wear1
appropriate costumes; they were sim-j
ply copied fromi those of the court.
The scant use of scenery at this time
was not' due to'the inability of the
people to produce the desired effectsj
but to their belief that it was im-
uroper; to use it in literary plays.-
Also, due to this attitude toward lit-
erary plays, there was very little ac-
tion; the plays were simply reelted.-
The practice of seating the audi-
ence on the stage slowly gave way to
boxes ,immediately above it, and
then to the present day system. The
announcements that the performance
would begin at "deux heures pre-1
cises" usually meant "4 o'clock, or
thereabouts."1
' "Matinee" Is Misused#
The present misuse of the word
"matinee" for an afternon perform-
ance was explained by Dean Effinger.
Originally the performance of the
day was given in the afternoon and
if an extra show was to be put on it
was given in the morning, "matin"
in French. When the system was
changed and the usual performance
was shown at night, the extra one
was moved along to the afternoon, but
it still retained its original name.
