One of the girls in the class is writing the legend IfoT the play, and all twenty girls in the *class will3 participate. The performance will be held in Barbour Gymnasium.

Well, in the first place, the play is by Shaw; and that, according. to the hard-boiled critic, places it in the realm of good plays. "What merit has the play other than the auth1or's merit?" asks Mr. Bannal betwen the second and the third acts, thus turn- ing the laugh upon himself. "But," added the count, "we can't deny that the actors are fine!" Shaw has sometimes been accused of gnomic passages, and, indeed, "Fanny's First Play," has its share, but the passages are all so typically Sahvian, so well selected and so ab- solutely to the point, that nobody minds their tendency toward the aphoristic. And although "fanny'sI First Play" is one of Jir. Shaw's{ lighter plays, and although he himself3 says that his characters are mere pup- pets put in the play to "spout Shaw," there is still a feeling that Mr. Gilbey in the person of Charles Edgecombe isE a very real person. Perhaps that is because he is a well-known type-the so-called "respectable" business man, "respectable" because he is monoton- ous and keeps out of the public eye. That, decides Mr. Shaw, is the middle class standard of morality; the main- tenance of an inconspicuous position half way between the too good and the too bad.C Another reason why Mr. Gilbey, the outraged father, disgraced by a way- ward son, was so convincingly a real person was Mr. Edgecombe. His in- terpretation was spirited and com- plete even to the tapping of his fin- gers on the arm of his chair when he was so agitated that words simply failed him. Wetzel Draws Comment Mr. Knox, too, played by Robert Wetzel, was another type of the self- pitying righteous man, who feels that all his work for the last forty years has been ruined in 14 days by his "en- lightened" daughter. We never can feel much sympathy for Mr. Knox be- cause we know all the time that he has worked for his position because he, Mr. Knox, wanted it and not be- cause he was such a slave for his family. We are beginning to see things through Shaw's clear-cut spec- tacles with all the glamour removed. This really is contrary to form, to find 'distinct characterizations in a Shaw play-but they sem to have been created some way, if not by the E author, then certainly by the actors. And Elsie Herndon Kearns contrib- uted a great deal to this "creation." Her interpretation of "Darling Dora" was superb. Her dialect well studied and her spirit indomitable. She was the first of the company to undergo I the ordeal of holding in one long con- tinued speeech the major part of an act . Dora is the girl of the streets, sympathetically portrayel, and it is said that she was the model which Shaw later developed into Eliza Doo- little in "Pygmalion.'' And in the second act, Margaret, the missing daughter of the Knox household, returns, and Amy Loomis in this role repeats Miss Kearns' act of holding the audience by a long recital of her experiences, following her attendance at a prayer meeting and her subsequent 14 days at Hollo- way jail. Duvallet By Henderson * Helen Hughes, as Mrs. Knox, and, Robert Henderson as the bouncing Frenchman, Duvallet, also have long, Shavian orations which they articu- late easily and effectively. And Iwho can say that Shaw does not create real characters and contrasts in thet bland Mrs. Gilbey, who cannot keep her mind on the .sub ect but who mustt ask so irrelevant a thing as "What did you say a concertina was?" right in the middle of Dora's recital of Bobby's deviltry. And in the straight-1 faced Juggins who turns out, after all, into the highly romantic personage of' the younger brother of a duke! Jug- gins was such a good butler, due to Frena Rothier, that somehow every- one expected something better of him -but a duke! The reason for these seemingly ex- travagant situations was because Fanny, the author of the play, was only nineteen. It was her play, and her birthday; consequently her indul- gent old father, a man sensitive to an extreme to anything beautiful, had her play produced by "real" actors and judged by "real" critics. Samuel Bonnell, in the role of the father, had the difficult task of walking up the aisle and starting the whole show off with a monologue. That is a trying situation, but Mr. Bonnell carried the part off with spirit. Critics Are Critics The critics who came in to judge the play were obviously not profes- sional ?ctors: they were, to be sure, mere critics! But rather clever at I that. And in their trite remarks upon the drama in general and upon such' specific characters as Granville Bar-: ker, Sir Arthur Pinero and their caustic digs at Shaw himself succeed- ed in ridiculing both the author and the whole profession of criticism with weapons none too gentle.

Mrs. Okkelberg is an artist of wide recognition. After completing her studies at the University School ofj Music under Albert Lockwood, sheI spent several years in Europe ,where she studied under both Mr. and Mrs. Josef Lhevinne for an extended period of time. Upon her return to this country she engaged in concert ac-1 tivities, and held several importantj teaching positions before resuming her work on the Faculty of the Uni- versity School of Music. She has ap- peared many times as solo artist in Ann Arbor.l IN ROCKFORD CAST ree--ockjaw, antiraux, and botu- linus (ripe olive poisoning)-are not killed by just plain soap and water. Few People Know Prevention Few people are aware of this sim- ple preventive of disease. In fact, most germs die from simple exposure Io air and sunlight. Diphtheria virus is injured by cold, and the germs of meningitis die when removed from body temperature. Disinfection by fumigation, once be- lieved so necessary, has given way to the soap-and-water method. Even with diphtheria, the germs die by (hemselves. Distinfection is largely valuable as an indication that persons are trying to prevent further infec- tion. Isolation Effective There are disease carriers, however, but isolation usually will render these nersons harmless in the course of a few weeks. Only one out of every thousand persons has virulent germs of diphtheria in his throat, Dr. Gris- wold mentioned. This is a negligible figure, when compared to other sources of infectioni. "School children, directly exposed to disease in the home, should be iso- lated from the rest for a week. In case of an exposure of the casual type--when one child comes down with measles in the school room,} for instance-the children exposed should come to school as usual but they should be examined individually each day for a wek. If a child has been present in a large group where the presence of a contagious disease was suspected, he need merely be watched a week for any unusual dis- turbances," Dr. Griswold concluded.
