M is Oummtr THE WEATHER UNSETTLED TODAY ttl ASSOCIATED PRESS DAY AND NIGHT WIRE SERVICE VOL. XV. No. 20 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JULY 13, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS MOENTEE PLAYERS PRESENT MODERN SELECTIONS HERE SHAKESPEARE PLAYHOUSE GIVES FOUR PERFORMANCES ON CAMPUS ACTORS RETURN AFTER FORMER ENGAGEMENTS Modern Plays Among Group Offered By Famous Dxamati Organ- Izaton Frank McEntee and his Shake- speare Playhouse company will ap- pear here on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week in four perfor- mances which will embrace plays of the modern school as well as one Shakespearean play. The Playhouse company has appear- ed here consecutively for several summers, replacing the old Ben Greet players who for years presented a series of performances here every summer. The Shakespeare Playhouse com- pany was founded several seasons ago by Frank McEntee with the purpose of keeping Shakespeare before the public as a constant source of in- spiration. Mr. McEntee himself di- rected his players, taking little part in the acting, and for the past year, has been playing Hamlet in an ex- tensive series of performances on tour. Eugene O'Neill's fascinating play, "Behind the Horizon," will be given in the opening performance on Thurs- day night. Its theme is modern, de- picting a young man struggling to rise above the materialistic world in which he is living. On Friday even- ing, Justin McCarthy's "If I Were King," will be presented, this being the play presented by the Senior wo- men in their annual play. Shake- speare's "Hamlet," will be given Sat- urday afternoon, and the engagement will close Saturday night with a pre- sentation of Ibsen's "A Doll's House." Tickets which will be priced at 75 cents for single admission and $2.50 for the whole series, will go on sale at Wahr's bookstore at noon, Tuesday.

Davis Most Logical Choice For Democrats Says Shartel Ohio Man Heads U. S. Commerce Body FINLAND WIlNS IN 10,000 METER RUN WITH STRONG LEAD "In discussing political affairs," Prof. Burke Shartel, of the La'w school, said. "I believe that we of the faculty are in somewhat the position of a judge-we should take rather a non-partisan position." "But," Professor Shartell said, "Mr. Davis seems to be the most logical man that the Democrats could have .chosen, after the fracas in Madison Square Garden. The fact that Mr. Davis has been an attorney for a num- ber of big business men in the east, I do not believe that should be held against him as a candidate for the Presidency. It rather indicates that he is capable as an executive, or he would not have been entrusted with the legal business of men like Mor- gan." "Mr. Davis is a real gentleman," said Professor Shartel. "He is known for his polish and smoothness. He is essentially an aristocrat. And the Democrats had to pick a western man as an antidote for some of the poison spread about Davis. They were probably wise in their selection of Charles W. Bryan as Mr. Davis run- ning mate." In speaking of the effect the La Follette nomination will have upon the two major parties, Professor Shar- tell said, "It will be difficulty to tell just how. much of an inroad LaFol- lette is going to make in either party. But Davis may lose a considerable amount of Progressive Democratic votes to LaFollette, especially in Cal- ifornia and the middle west. How- ever, Governor Bryan may be able to hold the mid-western Progressive Demrocats pretty solidly together." Professor Wright, of the University of California Law school, who is in- structor in corporations and agencies in the law department here this sum- mer, speaks of Mr. Davis as a man of great intelligence, well fitted for executive work. "He is not a particu- larly forceful public speaker, but is a very gracious man to meet. He is a tremendous thinker; a keen law- yer. But perhaps the fact that his law practice in New York has included some of the financial magnates of the nation, such as the House of Morgan, may cost him many votes in Novem.. ber, especially among the western people." "California thinks a great deal of Hiram Johnson," said Professor Wright, "and Davis is not very strong there. So it is difficult to tell where many of the progressive votes will go in that state. The Bryan-Davis combination, though it is a queer one, was a clever move on the part of the Democrats to hold the Progressive Democratic votes in the west togeth- er."

The first trip started at 8:15 each night. Relays of approximately 50 people an hour were shown the points of interest by Professor Hus- sey and his assistants. A telescope with a 37 5-8 inch lens, is situated in the larger dome. The dome revolves electrically until it is stopped at the proper position, the shutters are moved back and provid- ing the temperature is right, the lens case may be removed. This means that the observer cannot start work until 8 o'clock in winter and 9:30 to 10 o'clock in the summer. The lens must be kept as a nearly constant temperature to guard against expan- sion. The telescope is made of an ordinary open tube through which light rays travel to a mirror. Rays are reflected back to a secondary mir- ror and then to a spectrograph. In the smaller dome, a telescope with a 12 inch lens is trained on the moon every cloudless night. The meth- od of procedure was that each visitor was allowed about one minute to climb up a ladder and take a look at the moon. a craze for undergoing sensational experiences. Horseback rides, leaps over cliffs, sensational airplane tricks and hair-raising auto stunts cram the picture, forming the background for a hilarious series of adventures.
