.L CLUB
PLAY HOLDS;
L; INCLUDES
30
Final dress rehearsal for "Phor-
mio," the Classical club play which
will be presented at 8 o'clock Wed-
nesday night in University Hall, was
held last night. Those in charge of
the production stated that it realized
all that had been hoped for from the
competent cast selected for the pre-
sentation.
Ralph M. Carson, grad, whose work
in the "Manaechmi," and "Iphigenia
Among the Taurians," former Classi-
cal club plays, will be remember-
ed on the campus, assumes the title
role this year in "Phormio," playing
the part of a shrewd, inventive man
about town who makes his living by
his wits.
G. D. Wilner Takes Comic Part
George. D. Wilner, instructor in the
oratory department and director of
the play, whose versatility as an ac-
tor has been demonstrated by suc-
cesses in "The Servant in the House,"
"Manaechmi," "The Magic Carpet,"
"The Merry Wives of Windsor," "The
Pillars of Society," and the Shakes-
pearean pageant, takes the part of
Geta in this production. As the half-
starved, ragged slave of Demipho, he
undoubtedly has the best comic role
which he has yet attempted.
Antipho and Phaedria are ably por-
trayed by Lewis P. Waldo, '18, who
has appeared before on the campus in
the "Manaechmi" and "Iphigenia
Among the Taurians," and Lionel G.
Crocker, '18, familiar for his work in
"The Tragedy of Nan."
Cast Sets High Standard
Other members of the cast, while
not yet prominent among campus
dramatic stars, play well up to the
standard set by the more experienced
actors.
Robert T. Monroe, '18, will appear
as Davus, a slave; Elizabeth B. Oakes,
'20, as Nausitrata, wife of Chremes;
William K. Chidester, '20, as Chremes,
the brother of Demipho; Geraldine
Brasie, '21, as Saphrona, a nurse; Al-
bert C. Jacobs, '21, as Demipho, a gen-
tleman of Athens, and Wilfried R.
Lawrie, '21, as Dorio, a slave dealer.

Prof. A. S. Whitney Praises Dewey
Professor Dewey was a member of
the University of Michigan faculty
during the years 1884-90, going to the
University of Chicago when it was
opened. Prof.. Allen S. Whitney of
the University department of educa-
tion says of him: "He is perhaps the
foremost philosopher and educator in
the United States, if not in the world."
Prof. Dewey has written a book on
philosophy "School and Society,
which Dr. Kirschsteiner of Munich
speaks of as the only American book
that has been used in continuation
schools in Germany.
Dr. Jessup is likewise an educator
of national repute. He will be enter-
tained, during his stay here, by Pro-
fessor and Mrs. Whitney. Professor
Dewey will be entertained by Dean
Alfred H. Lloyd of the Graduate
school.

fessor Dewey and Dr. Jessup will de-

ance might be smaller this year due
to the war.
CITY CANVASSED
IN STAMP DRIVE
Every house in Ann Arbor, includ-
ing fraternities, were canvassed till
late last night in the interest of the
thrift stamp campaign. Although no
reports were made to Postmaster Hor-
atio J. Abbott last night, it is expected
that the success of the drive will equal
that of a similar Red Cross drive,
which was so successful in the rais-
ing of funds for that organization.
The entire-city was divided into dis-
tricts over which captains had been
appointed. Under these captains were
selected lieutenants to assist them,
each covering an entire city block.
Late last night Mr. Abbott said- that
he had received no report from any of
the solicitors, but that they were
working far in the night. The orders
will be taken to Mr. Abbott who will
distribute the stamps in the next two
days, collecting the money for them
upon their delivery.
ASK RETRIAI FOR MOONEY
AT LocALMASS MEETING
JUDGE E. J. JEFFRIES OF DE-
TROIT SPEAKS IN BEHALF
OF LABOR LEADER
Judge E. J. Jeffries, of the record-
er's court in Detroit, last night ad-
dressed a large audience at Labor
temple, which had gathered to protest
against the hanging of Tom Mooney.
He sketched the aims of the labor
unions of the country and told Qf the
prejudice they have had to fight in
order to maintain themselves.
"People in small communities such
as this," said Judge Jeffries, "fail to
realize the contrast between their own
conditions of labor and those In the
large cities. Here the men come in
personal touch with their employer,
but in the vast industries of the city
the employers do not know their em-
ployees and pay no attention to them,
unless they are forced to do so."
In his plea for Mooney, Judge Jef-
fries said that courts and judges are
only human and follow the instincts
of their class. He is sure that they
have over reached themselves in Cali-
fornia and he urged labor to make its
voiceheard in demanding a new trial
for these men.
Harry Weinberger, well known la-
bor attorney of New York, made a
plea at the meeting in behalf of Moon-
ey. Mr. Johanson-of California gave
a recital of the facts of the trial.
Resolutions were passed at the meet-
ing to send telegrams to President
Wilson and the -Governor of Califor-
nia urging that Mooney be - given a
new trial.

SUCCESS PREDICTED
FOR JUNIOR PLAY

der the direction of Prof. John R.
Brumm, of the rhetoric department,
