author's natural dislike for seeing his
name in print and his refusal to allow
the play to run unless his dislike was
respected, prevent the publishing of
the author's name at this time. The
Gargoyle staff insists that the strength!
of the appeal contained in the play will
be enough to settle the conference
question for good in the minds of the
student body.

AT THE GARRICK, DETROIT
No theatrical event of the year has
attracted more widespread attention
than the coming week's appearances,
beginning next Monday evening, of E.
H. Sothern at the Garrick theater, De-
troit. This brief visit marks the fare-
well of America's most distinguished
actor and will be signalized by a note-
worthy act of generosity on his part
as Mr. Sothern is giving outright to
the Red Cross every penny of his share
of the proceeds, amounting to 25 per
cent of the gross receipts. Not only
is he paying his own personal ex-
penses, but he is even paying the cost
of transmitting the money to the Red
Cross headquarters in London. In ad-
dition, Mr. Lee Shubert, under whose
personal direction Mr. Sothern con-
tinues to be, will give one-fourth of the
profits of the tour to that same agency
of mercy.
For this occasion Mr. Sothern has
selected Justin Huntley McCarthy's
splendidly colorful romantic play, "If
I Were Ding." Mr. Sothern's role of
the semi-legendary poet-soldier-lover,
Francois Villon, is unquestionably his
romantic masterpiece. In his hands it
has gone down in the theatrical his-
tory as one of the truly memorable
character-creations, breathing the very
essence of romance, filled with the
lovely spirit of youth. It is a poet's
conception of a poet, enacted by a
poet. The mad adventures of Villon,
his gallantry to the beautiful Kather-
ine de Vaucelles, his temporary eleva-
tion to great power by King Louis XI
of France, his peril and his regenera-
tion through love makes a dramatic
action that has no equal in modern
stage annals.
action of the piece is keyed up to the
highest pitch, feature following feature
in such rapid succession that encores
have to be eliminated. This is to be
expected when one views the roster of
the principals of the company, which
includes William Norris. Conroy and
Le Maire, Collins and Hart, the Court-
ney Sisters, Wanda Lyon, Rosie Quinn,
Margaret Edwards, McMahon, Diamond
and Chaplow, and Franklin Batie.
practically a new stage creation in
that it is absolutely true to life. All
the characters are those we have met
and talked with thousands of times.
The art of. Mr. Broadhurst in as-
sembling his perfectly true incidents
in a perfect manner, naturally makes
an unbeatable arrangement when com-
bined with the true to life characters
who are affected by those incidents.
As the story is unfolded before us on
the screen, it is not so much a play
as the real thing. Alice Brady first
appears as the charming school girl
whom everyone knows and loves. In
stringent circumstances, she is com-
pelled to leave school and go out to
support. After her marriage to a
multi-millionaire her work really
starts and Miss Brady's presentation
of the struggles she has to bring out
the good side of her husband's nature,
will not easily be forgotten. Miss
Brady has scored big successes in
every release she has had since ap-
pearing before the camera.

"The Miracle of Saint Anthony" by
Maurice Maeterlink is one of the of-
ferings of the Washington Square Play-
ers who come to the Whitney theater
Dec. 15. The play deals with the
question of whether or not a person
is willing to give up a valuable legacy
left at the death of a friend in order
to restore that friend life if it were
offered him by some miracle.
In "A World of Pleasure," which
comes to the Whitney theater Satur-
day, Dec. 16, the directors of the
Winter Garden are said to have clearly
demonstrated that the American the-
atergoing public will give heartiest
support to a thoroughly clean musical
extravaganza, provided it has comedy,
musical, dancing, scenic, and costum-
ing embellishments of merit. These
qualifications belong to "A World of
Pleasure," and from the rise of the
