YESTERDAY ON UNIVERSITY

"A DOLLS HOUSE" IS
LAST PRESENTATION
Interpretation of Shakespearean Trag-
edy Called Best of Playhouse
Work During Stay
Frank McEntee and his New York
Players presented Shakespeare's Ham-
let yesterday afternoofl before an
audience that almost filled University
Hall. The play was undoubtedly the
best work done by the players during'
their Ann Arbor engagements
Mr. McEntee brought to his interpre-
tation of Hamlet a carefully studied;
characterization, nurtured through
long experience of ShakespeareanJ
acting. For many years, an associ-
ate of Ben Greet, with whom he play-
ed more than seventy five roles in the
Shakespearean repertoire. He plays
flamlet with a poise and finesse that
js marred only by his imperfect artic-
Illation. The rest of the company were
as usual well cast.
Hamlet, to many is the favorite and
the greatest of the Shakespearean
plays. Presenting as itdoes the pi-
ture of a youth, upon whom te Gods
have placed a severe test, who be-
cause of the sensitiveness of his nat-
ure is unable to meet the strain, and
under it goes mad, it is universallyc
appealing. the beauty and grace of the
Elizabethan language, the richness
and the elegance of their manners, the
mnagi wonder of the blank verset
of Shakespeare render the play for-
ever eternal. The cast, and especially
Mr. McEntee, yielding to the newer,
idea of impressionism, spoke theirt
lines in a way in which the natural
poetic beauty was lost.
Present "A Doll's House"
Ibsen's play "A Doll's House" was
the last play given by the players last
night. The play is the greatest writ-
ten by this author, and it opens great
possibilities for fine acting and inter-
pretation. It is full of dramatic sit-'
uations and some tense situations
arise.
The parts were taken in much thel
manner as in proceeding productions
which have been given here by thist
company. The acoustics of Univer-
sity hall prevented fine enunciation,3
and made the players hard to under-
stand. Miss Elsie Herndon Kearns
seem to overcome the situation better3
than any one else in the company, and1
it is easy to understand her. She has
poise and grace, combined with a sense
of the dramatic which makes her an
actress.
Thesplay is a difficult one to inter-
pret and the company showed that
they had carefully studied the pro-
duction. The acting done by Nora
and her husband gave rise to some
scenes which had strength and person- I
ality.
These players have come to Ann
Arbor for the last two years, and have
delighted audiences in out-door theat-~
ers. It is to be hoped that when they
visit here again they will be furnish-
ed with a better place in which to
show their talent than in University
hall. It seems like an almost utter1
impossibility to present a play with
any great success on that stage, and it,
is to the credit of the Shakespeare
players that they played to full houses
for every performance.;

McEntee Says Movie Is Driving
Drama Back Into The Library)
"The Amoving picture is driving the
lrama back into the library," stated
Mr. Frank McEntee, of the Shakes-
peare playhouse company, of New
York city, when questioned about the
:miovie vs. drama situation in this coun-
try.
Mr. McEntee continued to point out
the significant factors which bring
about the popularity of the moving
pictures. The most important cause
is an economic one, according to Mc-
Entee, who believes that the price of
the movie, which is within the reach
,f all classes of people, attracts the
oublic and at the same time satisfies
them. The moving picture has all the
advantages in the world. The prod-I
act of the picture industry may be
!oxed in a small package and sent to
all parts of the world. In this way,
it is continually bringing in box office
receipts.
At the same time, continued McEn-
ee, the drama has every obstacle to
overcome. There are personalities,
human ills and moods to deal with,
is well as the expenses, scenery and
stage hands to arrange for in the
drama. Mr. McEntee believes that
without a doubt, the moving picture
,as taken the place of the drama but
that it never will wipe the drama out
of existence.
In speaking of his work, Mr. Mc-
E7ntee said that his best acting has
>een done when he was so tired that
me wondered where Jis voice was com
nig from. His favorite role is that of
Hamlet which he played yesterday af-
ternoon.
The Shakespeare playhouse company'
will go to Lansing from here to play at
Michigan Agricultural college and will
hen play at Madison, Wis., and Bloom-
ington, Ind., before returning to New
7ork.
Isaburo Yoshida, counsellor of the
Japanese embassy in Wasington, is
now in charge of his country's affairs
in the United States. The Toyko
government is not expected to send
a successor to M. Hanihara soon.

Divergence of French, British Views
Perturbing Feature of Allied
Conference
AMERICANS SUGGEST PLANS,
DO NOT EFFECT COMPROMISE
London, July 1.-(By AP)-Diver-
gence in the French and British views
as to manner of dealing with possi-
ble German defaults under the Dawes
reparations scheme is one of the per-
turbing features of the inter-Allied
conference in session here. An un-
successful attempt was made yester-
day to thresh out the fundamental
differences between the two nations
but it is hoped that a compromise
agreement may yet be reached.
There will be somewhat of a lull
in the conference over the weekend,
many of the delegates going to the
Wembley exposition and making other
visits.
Americans who are in the closest
touch with the conference proceed-
ings are of the opinion the fate of
the whole meeting depends on the de-
gree of understanding to be reached
by Premiers Ramsay MacDonald and
Edouard Herriot.
Unofficial American suggestions of
the matter of German defaults were
laid before the experts yesterday but
they did not produce a compromise
agreement.
H USSEY TO SPEAK ON
PROPOSED OBSERVATORY
Prof. W. J. Hussey, director of the
observatory, who conducted an as-
tronomical expedition in South Af-
rica during the past year, will speak
on "The Proposed South African Ob-
servatory of the University" at 5 o'-
clock tomorrow in the auditorium of
the Natural Science building. His
Slecture will be illustrated.
The purpose of Professor Hussey's
expedition was to locate a site for
the new 27-inch refracting telescope
which was presented to the University
by Robert P. Lamont, '91E, of Chica-
go. A definite location for the new
observatory has not been decided upon
as yet and a decision will not be made
until the data which Professor Hussey
collected and the results of his in-
vestigation have been gone over by
those in charge of the expedition at
the University.
Sofia, July 19.-The Sobranja has

ine Tingley, American theosophist
leader, who arrived at Gothenburg
Tuesday, was received by the chief
Swedish theosophist, Gyllengerg. Her

Universities In
U.S.-Philippines
Like Says Kalaw
"The various universities of the
Philippines, are in all essentials,
very similar to American universi-
ties," said Dean Maximo M. Kalaw,
of the University of the Philippines,
in an interview Friday. "There are,
at present in the islands, three higher
educational institutions exclusive of
normal colleges. The oldest of these,
St. Thomas, was founded by the Span-
iards in 1611. The University of the
Philippines was founded in 1907, and
now has an attendance of over 5000
students.
"The student bodies of these insti-
tutions are made up mostly of Phili-
pinos, though there is an increasing
number of Chinese and other nation-
altiies. All of the universities are
co-educational, with large. numbers
of women in attendance. The Uni-
versity of the Philippines is a metro-
politan institution similar to some of
the largest American universities,
with seven schools and colleges, in-
cluding agriculture. liberal arts, eng-
ineering, education, and others. Mil-
itary training is compulsory for two
years for all students.
"Fraternities, though there are some
in existence, are still young, and do
not in any case keep houses, although
we expect to see fraternity houses
soon," said Dean Kalaw. "We have,
of course, all sorts of student activi-
ties, including a variety of student
clubs of which the debating clubs are
at present the most popular, American
sports are widely indulged In. W
emphasize the idea of athletics for
all, rather than place stress upon in-
dividual stars. We have an official
student publication which attracts in-
terest. Dancing is also growing in
popularity."
"Naturally at this early stage the
staffs of the various colleges mst
have American professors in some
subjects recently introduced," he
stated. "However, it is only in such
subjects as science, English literature,
and so on, that this is necessary,
since in the other fields Philipino teach-
ers are available. The spirit of our
universities is much the same as at
yours, although our devleopment must
naturally be influenced somewhat by
our different environment. We aim to
make our universities thoroughly up-
to-date and metropolitan institutions."
