lull'' V JILL HAS 2 OPEN DATES Last Saturday In October November See No tests as Yet and First in Con. NEBRASKA IS A POSSIBILITY Following the official announcement that Michigan will not play Princeton next year, football followers here at the Wolverine college are wondering who will appear on the 1917 schedule. Michigan still has the last Saturday in October and the first one in Novem- ber open. These are two of the most attractive dates on the season's list of bookings and Michigan is still search- ing for an opponent. Princeton seems to be out of the question and in the middle west the conference colleges are of course beyond consideration. Michigan's early games for 1917 will be with Case and Mount Union and there will probably be a couple of mid- week affairs scheduled, although there is considerable speculation as to just who these aggregations will be. The University of Detroit is anxious to op- pose the Varsity and -there is some chance that the eleven from the City of the Straits will appear on Ferry field, although no definite action has been taken as yet. Will Not Meet Syracuse. Michigan will not meet Syracuse thisn ? year. That seems assured. The east- erners were offered a game, but it was with the understanding that it should. be played on Ferry field and tbhe Orange authorities couldn't see it that way and their list of bookings ap- peared recently with the Wolverines missing. Michigan meets the Aggies on the 20th of October, but the staging for the annual game is still unsettled. Michigan has journeyed to East Lan- sing every third year in the past with the Aggies appearing on Ferry field the other two occasions. This year it is Michigan's turn to make the trip to Lansing, but the lack of seating facil- ities is very properly causing the Maize and Blue to hesitate. Last year 22,- 000 people saw the Michigan-Farmer game and the Aggies can't squeeze a new born babe into their park after 10,000 have been seated. Hence the Wolverines are strong for playing the game here in Ann Arbor, but as yet they have not been able to convince. the authorities in Lansing that such should be the case.

New York 's Auto Exhibition Stat ts Big Review of Motor Driven Vehicles in Gotham Should Eclipse All Former Efforts New York Jan. 6.-The greatest auto show in the world, according to all advance indications, opened yesterday in Grand Central Palace, New York, to continue one week. While monster exhibitions of auto- mobiles and accessories were held in London, Berlin and Paris before the war, it is the opinion everywhere that the forthcoming show will eclipse any- thing the world ever has seen. It cer- tainly will be more of an American show than any other ever held, for American manufacturers will be rep- resented almost solely. Seventeenth Annual Exhibit. The show will be the seventeenth1 r There will be many new cars on ex- hibition, but the main group will in- clude products of those manufacturers whose plants have been the basis of the growth of the automobile industry. Few Changes in Design. Every one of the 16 types of bodies, and every price at which cars can be obtained will be represented. There are few changes in body design, the main upsets being in motor construc- tion.

How About Nebraska? There is some talk of Michigan meet- ing Nebraska on one of the two open dates, but this is nothing more than conjecture at present. The westerners played on Ferry field in 1911 and they held the Wolverines to a lone touch- down and to the surprise of everyone present pushed across the final line themselves. Michigan can not play the western college on the 27th, however, as M. A. C. has them signed for this date. In the meantime the campus is sit- ting back awaiting results. A story issued from Minnesota which stated that the entire student body in that college was strong for a Michigan- Minnesota game and surely there could be no opponent whom the Wolverines would welcome more gladly than her OW whntereeviAi ild I Pop.

Monday-Tuesday, Jan. 8-9 25 cents Nazimova is undoubtedly the greatest emotional photoplay actress of today. Herbert Brennon, the director of-this play, is recognized as the most successful producer of special Features of the present year. "War Brides" is undoubtedly the greatest photoplay yet filmed. Read what the critics say about this wonderful production. SPECIAL MUSIC I A STRONG EDITORII L COMMENDATION T is rare that a large city daily nakes independent editorial com- ment on theatrical productions. It is done only when a play of far more thantusual merit is prejented. The editor ofeThe Detroit News saw Nazimova in "War EIrides" recently at the Broadway- Strand Theatre and here is his tribe ate to this remarkable photoplay: "'War Brides,' at the Broadwa y-Strand, is beyond any question the best photo-play ever shown in Detroit. It is, for two reasons. Nazimova is wonderfully the superi, dr of any motion picture actress or any legitimate actress that has essayed motion picture roles. By pantomime and expression, discardin.g all the limiting convention and 'technique' that already have clutter d acting for the screen, she 'gets over' the furious emotions that rock Joan in a manner that admitsof no description. "Then, Herbert Brenon, the produeer, has been courageous. The play is full of faults. Some of the phot )graphy is bad. 'But all these faults are swept beyond notice as it drivies through terror and sorrow to. its grim end. "But Nazimova is the play! As Joa.n, the high-strung girl who weds the peasant, sees him taken by war, hears of his death, and fail- ing to stop the struggle, kills herself rather than bear her child to be the victim of the next generation's war, she is a revelation in the pictures. Her support is perfect. Gertrude Berkley, as the mother of four sons taken by the war, is sFcond only to the star. "Comparison with 'The Birth of a Nation' is hackneyed, but De- troit knows and greatly admires that picture. 'War Brides' makes 'The Birth of a Nation' look like grandiose nonsense." WHAT "WID" SAYS "Wid" Gunning, the famous New York motion picture critic, among many other flattering remarks concerning this production, has this to say: "I believe that this production should rival 'The Birth of a Na- tion,' 'Intolerance,' 'A Daughter of the Gods,' 'Civilization,' and all our other big productions at the box office, because it has a story of greater appeal than any dramatic production we have ever seen in this coun- try. It is doubly timely because it has both the plea for peace from women and an argument for suffrage without allowing either of these thoughts to subordinate the dramatic theme at any time. "This is the first screen appearance of Nazimova. Her work should be a revelation to many of our screen stars, principally because of her sincerity and her varied emotional register. Surely, Nazimova has a distinctive personality, and her portrayal of the peasant woman willing to die for a cause which she believed right will be remembered forever by any who see her. The screen brings a star into moie inti- mate contact with an audience than any stage production, and for that reason those who see Nazimova in this will be more favorably impress- ed by her personality than they could ever be by seeing her in any- thing on the speaking stage." James P. Sinnott in New York Evening Mail I ALLA NAZIMOVA I sat in the Broadway Theatre last night and watched the greatest' actress in the world, Alla Nazimova, in Herbert Brenon's film version of "War Brides." Around me sat as distinguished an audience as any first night has known this fall. They cheered for five minutes when the picture ended-cheered and shouted foi Nazimova and Herbert Brenon. Mr. Brenon appeared and made a neat speech of appreciation. Mme. Nazimova was unfortunately not present. As I sat and watched the work of the geratest actress in the world I am afraid I thought strange thoughts. I thought that perhaps Nazimova and Herbert Brenon have entered into a conspiracy to make something of motion pictures. I thought of the difference in the work of the greatest actress in the world and some who have reaped the golden harvest from pictures. I wondered if any of them seated in the audience would be more humble in the future-if they would learn something from Nazimova. In the last scene of the picture the women hold Nazimova up over their heads for the king to gaze on. She is dead, having just committed suicide. I could not but think that in presenting her on Broadway in "War Brides" Herbert Brenon was holding Nazimova up over his head for the motion picture world and the public to gaze at. To gaze at in wonder and awe. _I I : I I BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY "War Brides'' is the thing for which we have long been waiting. It hits the nail squarely on the head and at one mighty clip sends it home "for keeps." About "War Brides" there is no foolishness, no trifling, no dilly- dally-with the audience, no playing with noise and red-fire just for the sake of the sensations they may make. It has serious business on hand, and from start to finish it sticks to its task like the burr to the sheep's wool. The task that Herbert Brenon had before him while creating his wonderful picture was to show us that war is hell-hell let loose on earth-the horror of horrors, the crime of crimes, the most barbarous of all the barbarous customs that we have inherited from the blood- .stained past. It were well if every ruler of every nation could be made to wit- iness the scene in which Joan, heading the multitude of grief-crazed women, meets the King as he is on his way to the front, where the War Monster is getting in his hellish work. That one scene alone would be sufficient to sicken the most stal- wart of the advocates of war, and to convince him of the fact that war is nothing less than infernal, and that its promoters are the greatest enemies of the human race. I said to myself as I watched Mr. Brenon's great play, so admir- ably acted by the matchless Nazimova, "If this picture could have been shown in the capitals of Europe before the fatal Third of August, 1914, there would have been no war." And I believe that I was right. Even if they had already planned the great conflict, the sight of this masterful production would have caused the kings and emperors, the foreign secretaries and premiers, to .drop their heads in shame and remorse and swear that never again would they advocate the rightfulness of war. 1;f 111 i "1- Twelve Delighted Friends eliminating 9*;)-.
