CONGER Four stars means extraordinary. And if ever af show deserved that rating "Little Man, What Now?" does. Without any misgivings whatever, we say it's the best picture Ann Arbor has seen since "Cavalcade." And you're not apt to see an- other like it this summea. The ordinary reviewer takes into consideration the following ingredients -all part of the movie recipe: (1) story, (2) directing, (3) acting, (4) photography, and (5) musical accompaniment. ' Usually two or three of these are weak. But not so "Little Man, What Now?" Each ingredient 'stands alone as being above the ordinary. The story is adapted from the best-seller novel of the same title, written by Hans Fallada (Rudolf Besier is his real name). It's a simple narrative of a young couple who fall in love, marry, and have a baby. There's nothing unusual about that. But when they do this in the face of economic adverstiy, conflicts arise and an unusually touching story results. Hans Fallada caught the spirit of the Depression in his novel - the hardship - the rama - the poignant tragi-happiness of it. It's a story with a meaning for any and all have have either witnessed or been a part of the mad eco- nomic crisis which some say has passed-but whose effects are still all too apparent in every village and hamlet from Battle Creek to Bucharest. To effectively film a story like this, excellent directing is imperative. Frank Borzage is one of the few who could do it justice. His gifted imag- ination is felt in every scene and sequence of this subtly-meaningful drama. And no better pair than Margaret Sullavan and Douglass Montgomery could have been chosen to portray the "little man" and "little woman" of this story. They handle their parts with just the right touch of understanding. Moments of carefree joy are heightened by scenes of mad despair. Every level in the scale of human emotions is attained. The photography is on a par with the directing, which is a high compliment, and the scenes are all photographed to an accompaniment of music ideally chosen to carry out the desired effect. On thinking it over the music, acting, and pho- tography are so perfectly interwoven that dialogue is almost superfluous. It could just as well be a story in pantomime.--C.AB. person at the other end : "Sorry, we can't use you," naybe my brain would not have developed this mental callous. But there you are, from another point of view. No two persons will have experienced this dear-blasted depression in exactly the same proportion. Thank goodness. Shall we say that college is college and work is work and never the twain shall meet? Or are you still angry? But I warn you, the American Revolution was fought for a clash in ideals and really it is too hot. But, I wish you luck with your furnaces and yourt hard living. Luck that will endure and see you through and mayhap into an easier world than the one of the last five years. -A Pedagogue. SURPIUSE TO HIM To the Editor: I was rather interested to learn from Saturday's Daily that I have been teaching students to fly every Sunday out at the Airport. Although I admit that I made arrangements a few Sundays ago so that my students at the University might obtain rides and have an opportunity to take hold of the ;controls, I confess that I quit flying some four years ago, was never qualified, to give this type of instruction, and have been up in a plane only twice during the past year. Aside from these items, the article is correct. t --Harry C. Carver.

EFORM MOVEMENTS the world over have been led or motivated by a class within a nation called the intelligentsia. Intelligentsia is a comparatively modern term in- dicating a61c la that observes, analyzes, and acts regrdinlg to certain social, political, and economic phenorena, with reform as its objective. During the last century these liberal groups have pushed the causes of republicanism. The Russian intelligentsia forced the czarist government to establish the duma, and the liberal party in Spain iaugurated the constitutional monarchy and more recently the republic. The independence of our own country was made possiblethrough the sup- port of the English intellectuals of the colonists cause. Many similar cases in point could be cited. The enemies of reform ase tradition, prejudice, ignorance, and a public sentiment that believes in the status quo. The friend of reform is in- telligence with a sense of social justice. Intelligence is neither common sense nor the expedient. The first term is loose and can make an opinion appear authoritative; the second is at best temporary. Intelligence rather involves fact finding, objec- tive analysis of the facts from which tentative con- clusions are drawn, and appropriate action taken upon the conclusions with the end of advancing the general welfare. The intelligentsias of the past have too often been pseudo-intellectuals without adequate appreciation of the problems they sought to solve. Reform is only popular in times of crisis. When the status quo is being successfully maintained, advocation of change appears not only ridiculous, but as a threat to the well-being of the people. Persons whose prosperity and power depend upon the maintenance of the established order and pro- tection -of their vested interests naturally oppose reform even though the stresses and strains within the social order mean their ultimate overthrow. Persons with intelligence observe and try to under- stand these stresses and strains that are inevitable when a society does not keep progress with its culture. True intelligence demands that the causes of the stresses and strains be eliminated. Elimination ,usually means a redistribution of power and wealth. Privileged groups adversely affected by such a re- dlstributioh can through their position prevent re- form. If reform is postponed too long, a crisis is precipitated, the inequities of the social order come to a head, and authority is threatened by popular unrest. By this time what might once have been a minor readjustment of society must now be a major change. In the past the task of making such a great change has been too great and has resulted in failure, the reform group discredited, and the old order re-established, though on a slightly different basis. Intelligence devoted to social ends is usually toolimited in numbers to be able to express itself except in crises. Universa intelligence, the ideal objective of popular education, would supposedly make adjustments in society as soon as the need appeared. What can be hoped for is a sufficiently wide-spread intelligence to make adjustments be- fore the necessary changes become too great. Extensive studies made by Prof. R .J. Sprague, sociologist, in the Journal of Heredity, show that Wellesley graduates are producing one-third of a child per graduate; Bryn Mawr, about two-thirds; Mount Holyoke about nine-tenths; and Vassar about eight-tenths. The average mother in the United States and Canada has about two and a half children. Makes those Canadian quintuplets look silly, doesn't it?

Jane Fletcher * * * * (Continued from.Page.1) the universal uniformity of flying conditions makes it possible to pro- duce agreements which will always be applicable," Professor Hyde said in commenting on the value of these conventions. He stated that the only unfortunate feature of these conventions was the fact that the terms bound only the contracting countries. The agreement drawn up in 1919 was amended at the convention in 1929 when the International Com- mission for Air Naviation was estab- lished, he said. The right of air sov- ereignty was reaffirmed and oppor- tunity for international flight was also provided. The Rome convention of 1933 dis- cussed the unification of rules for at- tachment of aircraft, according to Professor Hyde, and also considered means of operator and passenger protection. AT THE MAJESTIC "LAUGHING BOY" Ramon NoVarro and Lupe Velez come to the Majestic Theatre today in the film version of Oliver La Farge's Pulitzer Prize story, "Laughing Boy." The book from which the new picture is adapted was one of America's best-sellers of a few years ago, and concerns the life of a young Navajo Indian who comes from the mountain regions of his reser- vation home to learn about things it would have been better for him not to have learned. Novarro plays the title role of "Laughing Boy," the Indian who learns of love from a girl in his pribe familiar with the white man's civilization. This girl (Lupe Velez) uses her wiles learned in white cities, to keep him from a knowledge that would crush his depth of primitive feeling. With the exception of a role played by William Davidson, the entire supporting cast is composed of more than 1,000 Navajo tribesmen. They were photographed on their reservation in northern Arizona. Col. W. S. Van Dyke, director noted for "White Shadows in the South Seas," "Trader Horn," and "The Prizefighter and the Lady" handled the direc- tion of this film. It's a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production. v o Campus Opinion A - Letters published in this column should not be con- strued as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

I write to vindicate the lack of feeling we Come- ins have for you. The Undergrad of today- knows, and feels his hard times. He didn't cause this world depression (I have no respect for it anymore, so I do not capitalize it for which I'm somewhat sorry). But here he is having -a fight for his educa- tion. I am not so unimaginative but that I can appre- ;ciate your strife. But this cruel world of yours is ret kinder than that world on the outside of college. I'll tell you why. Thank you, I have the floor, for I can sense your wrath. I have lived on the outside of the safety of college walls, right on the dirt floor of the depression. I'm supposed to have had my fling in college and be able to earn my bread and water. I haven't always had a job. In college there is a sentiment about youth strug- gling for higher education. Outside the college, we have been graduated, and the sentiment is gone. Why, you dear abused one, don't you know that Michigan i s maaerifn i ai ia r., JOHN LEE DOLL is not related to James V. Doll Although James V. is better known to Ann Arbor audiences for his work in connection with the Play Production group, John Lee is to be remembered fo his work during the last three summer seasons, anc as Wingblatt in "Both Your Houses." * * * * NANCY BOWMAN is one of the old timers ir Repertory Players' shows. She comes back every summer and is one of the most enthusiastic an well-liked members of the group. "The School for Scandal" is her 1934 premiere. * * * * SARAH PEIRCE will be given an opportunity tc prove for the -nth time that she's a gifted anc versatile actress in the role of Sir Teazle's young wife. A country girl by birth, she (Lady Teazle) sets out to show London society a thing or two She shows 'em - but oh, how they talk. * * * * THIS PRODUCTION makes it two in a row foi Goddard Light, Claribel Baird, Frank Funk, Cal- vin Pettit, Morris Greenstein, Jay Pozz, and John Doll. 1 r I. r ri ATTEND MICHIGAN ..

He was approached recently by a quaking news- paper man ordered out to the embassy to get a passport for the dog of a movie star who was England bound. All dogs entering England must go into quarantine for six months, and the star disliked the idea. Several conferences ended by Sir Ronald's say- ing solemnly: "Even the dogs of the Prince of Wales enter quarantine. A few days later Sir Ronald was waiting in the outer office of Secretary of State Hull. He started as he saw the newspaper man and then ex- claimed, "Now just a minute. I've only come to ee a man about a dog." J OSEPH P. KENNEDY, chairman of the new se- curities and exchange commission, holds a unique position among 'new deal" chiefs.

Then, counting bags, carrying tickets and grabbing Mrs. Hopkins, he swung on to a moving train for New York. They scrambled into their coach suc- cessfully, but suddenly a horrified Hopkins saw his green tickets fluttering down the platform.
