PLAY PRODUCING
CLASS PRESENTS
ONE-ACT DRAMAS
(By D. M.)
Prof. R. D. T. Hollister's class in
play production exhibited three one-
I abt plays, Lady Gregory's "Workhouse
Ward," Alice Gerstenberg's "Over
S tones," and George Middleton's "Tra-
dition," yesterday afternoon in the
Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
Taking into consideration all the ob-
stacles which presented themselves,
the work was admirably done. The
entire' absence of scenery and proper-
ties of any kind and the lack of cos-
r tumes made the success of the plays
entirely dependent on the acting, and
for an amateur presentation-the per-
formance was truly creditable.
Lady' Gregory's "The Workhouse
o Ward," is written around two old men
who have come to spend their few re-
maining days in the workhouse. They
are forced to' pass all of their time in
bed, and occupy themselves with lively
harangue, telling each other what pol-
troons they were in former days. A
countrywoman comes with the offer
e to take one of the men to her home,
but he will not leave unless the other
old man can go with him. She leaves
and the wordy battle between the pau-
pers starts afresh, ending in a pillow

PLAN TO COMBINE
DANCE ORCHESTRAS)
. I
'he Union this coming year is plan-
y ning a combination of all campus or-
chestras, according to Earl B. Mc-
t Kinley, '22M, the formulator of the
plan, which'includes the payment of
of a flate rate of two dollars. per hour
to all musicians consenting to abide
by the rules. All money collected over
and above the amount necessary to pay
t the musicians will be pooled, and later
divided among the men in proportion
to the hours they have played.
The exponents of the scheme claim
that in this way the musicians will
become the best paid workers on the
campus, and that the campus societies
and clubs will be able to secure the
best orchestras without paying un-
d reasonable- rates. During the past
y year, some orchestras obtained as
' high as $15 a piece, according to Mc-
e Kinley.
QUN AND BLADE MEETING"
ARRANGES VETERANS' CAMP

. Plans for the veterans' vacation
camp at CampSheridan occupied the
~ most of the discussion at the regularj
I meeting of the Gun and Blade club,;
d Thursday evening.
_e TAfter the regular procedure of
t business, L. F. Dawson, acting presi-
dent of the club, explained in detail

to the camp as set forth by the social
n director who visited Ann Arbor Tues-
d day. The men will leave Ann Arbor

his customary questioning rounds Fri-
day, this time with a new query on<
his lips, "What do, you think of' the,
Union tap room as compared to State.
street?" it did not take long to con-
vince him that the tap room should do
a rousing business if all the students
held to their apparent convictions that#
the soda bar there was far more rea.-
sonable in price than regular campus
dealers, and hence deserved patronage.
The questioner was all ears; thea
questionees emphatic. A few of the
answers received are given here, as
follows:
Always Goes to Union
Thomas H. Spain, '22E: "Whenever
I do any soda buying, I go to the Un-1
ion. You can much better dishes_
down there. I never could.understand
why anycne would go down on State
street and pay 20 to 28 cents for a°
glass of slop when they could get
good dishes at the tap room for 15
cents. I don't regard sodas as neces-
sities, however, and I very seldom buy
any of them anyhow."
F. D. Webb, '21: "t not only think{
the prices are too high, but I notice
that there is a considerable variation
in price among the various stores
around town. If .one Th giving |aI
square deal, all the rest aren't. And#
the Union is just about the lowest
of the bunch in price and the highest
in quality."
W. W. Gower, '22: "In two years I
haven't gone into a store on State
street,to buy'a soda or sundae. When
I want anything of that sort I always
go to .the Union where I can get
something for my money."
Would Have Gone to Union
Milburn Kusterer, '21: "On account
of the high cost 'of sodas I haven't
been able to buy one all summer. If I
had, however, I'd have gone to the tap
room. I don't mind saying that spare
cash is too scarce to be wasted on
State street confectioneries, especi-
ally when you can get better stuff
at more reasonable prices in the Un-
ion."w
George A. Schuster, '21: "The tap
room is much less pf a strain on the,
pocketbook than the State street soft
drink parlors. Henceforth, the Union
shall have my patronage. I hope the
rest miss me." ,.
WESLEYAN GUIL)D MOCK TRIAL
ENS IN AMUSING CLIMAX
when it grows a little older, students
'at last will revert to its originators.{
When this happens Smollett will be
rediscovered inevitably, to receive his
due," said Prof. Robert M. Wenley, of
the philosophy department, in his lec-
ture on "The Bicentenary/of Smollett,"f
at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon in the
Natural Science auditorium. "With all
'his faults and his unusual tempera-t
ment, it'remains unquestioned that he1
was one of the three or four creators
of modern literature's most charac-
teristic medium."
Born near Bonhill, Scotland, Smoll-
ett at an early age, was forced to sup-
port his family after the leath of his-
father. This -life, however, was too
mild for the impetuous Smollett and,
at the age of 16, armed with a tragedy
--the infamous "Regicide"-and some
letters of introduction, he entered
London. Cold-shouldered in London
and literally on his uppers he became1
a surgeon's mate on one of the 16 ships
then leaving England on a nefarioust
expedit4on. It was during this expedi-
tion that Smollett saw the credulity of
the soldiers and sailors and shared
their sufferings. At Jamaica, lie left]
the navy and, marrying Nancy Las-
celles, returned to London. Here he,
began as a surgeon, but was far bet-
ter known as a wit.
A Kindly Character
"He .would rather say a kind thing,
roughly than a harsh thing genially,".
said Professor Wenley. "This preval-
ent lustiness lost nothing from mix-
ture with a certain'peppery impetuous-
ity, the result of keen personal sensi-,
bility, rendered even frailer than usu-
al by a large share .of amour propre,
not to say pride. "Neurotically in-
tense, this disposition magnified every-
thing that touched him, joy no less
than .sorrow. Thus we must not talk
of his brutality or callousness, but
rather of the abuses which so marred
society then, interfering with his ge-
nius, nay, souring -his daily bread," said
Professor Wenley' in' defense of Smoll--
ett's character.
Forceful and Bold.
All through his life we find Smollett
forceful, daring and bold. "He was
like a gladiator wielding a sledge ham-
mer as a favorite weapon," as Profes-
sor Wenley put it.
In his day, Smollett dominated Lon-
don by his fearlessness and even Dr
Johnson bowed before him.
Besides his novels and plays, Smoll-
ett translated both Gil Blas and Don
Quixote into English. He died at
Leghorn, in Sept. 1771.
