FAIRIES' FACES GILDED
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
Produced in Renaissance Style
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
From Philadelphia North-American.
Granville Barker has recently produced a novel staging "The Ridiculous Annunciation" in New York which has brought a volley of both favorable and unfavorable comment from critics.
"A Midsummer Nights Association with Mr. Barker was Norman Wilkinson, who design his scenery and create a backdrop of painted cloth, a cloth hicko in the forest, 'high facetful view of Athens and the pergola of a Greek palace were the only pictures which the audience was invited to witness. Cecil Sharp
has arranged for the performance incidental music based on appropriate English folk songs as a substitute for the Mendelssohn music usually played. They proved to be suitable to the action and illustrated the scenes of the play eloquently. Their musical value must be determined by authorities on the subject of folk music.
Unconventionality Rules
Unconventional
Mr. Barker divides the comedy into two acts; the second shorter, and the chiefly the play in the palace scene. The first division was devoted to the trick of Oberon the difficulties of the lovers, Titania's passages of deluded fascination, admirably played by Ernest Cossart, and the pranks of fairies. There was nothing else that added so much to
the unconventionality and freshness of this performance as the use of the platform stage with its three steps to the inner stage. A green hillock rose to a peak in the center of the stage, over it hung a naturalized wreath of flowers and fruit suspended, like Mohammed's coffin, between heaven and earth. About the stage in a semicircle separate pillars painted anguely like the green of a forest, hugged like them was the glimpse of blue sky.
Mr. Baker has perhaps gone further in his search for novelty in presenting all the fairs glided nicely on their dresses but as to their faces.
TO TRAIN WITH MUSIC
Steve Farrell's to Induce Mich
igan Athletes to Better Efforts
The New York Times
From the New York Times
Trainer Steve Farrell of the University of Michigan has just discovered a way to methodify by which he hopes to instill in his charges the sense of enthusiasm and vim that is necessity to the successful track team. Farrell proposes to make the athletes of Michigan do their training to the accompaniment of music furnished by the varsity band, and his plan is heartily advocated by the supporters of the team, who see in this new method the successes for their write in cinder path composition, notwithstanding the fact that the prospects for a strong track man are decidedly poor.
team. After carefully considering the hit for several weeks Farrell hit upon the idea of turning the musical ability of his charges to good account. His plan requires an operation of heavy body at all tracts muscles, where Farrell intends to the musicians render tunes a trifle faster than the natural stride of the Michigan star in that particular event. The athletes their strides can slow in the gymnasium and then the band will be able to play a little faster. It is expected that the inspiration of the music and the natural efforts of the dancers to get in time should make the Michigan men they are themselves more willing and it is hoped that this development of training his athletes will get for Farrell the desired amount of interest from his charges.

Students and professors, who live on the south side of the Hill and approach the University by way of the street car track, are becoming very proficient in walking the rails. By next year we may even expect to find that Prof. N. P. Sherwood and Prof. P. C. Dockeray have stretched a tight rope from the Hill to some convenient fence post, and will come serenely gliding down holding a parasol to steady themselves.

Maureen Goes Armed
Maureen McKernan, junior College, came near cause of a riot when she appeared in campus the other day with a big double-barreled shot gun over her shoulder. Word was brought to Harry Willon and Booze Busenark that Nemesis was on their trail at last, and those two worthy gentlemen fied for parts known. After some time, an apusense of women from a department of journalism approached Maureen and found to their relief that she was only bringing the gun for use in a theatrical.

Plowman Going Up
Earl Plowman is going up. To those who know Earl this may seem a misfortune—he is six feet away, but what he refers to is his position in the newspaper world. Plowman, a student in the department of journalism last year, is now employed on the Arkansas Gazette of Little Rock, Ark, as senate reporter in the Arkansas legislature. He says: "I'm sure the luckiest boat that ever lived. Ten days after I landed in Little Rock, the man and star reporter assigned to go to the St. Louis office, and the man into his office and told me that he was going to give我 a tryout on the job. I am still on it."
A University, woman who is prou
of the number* of dates she has, is
suffering from a bad cold this week
and "the worst of it is," she says,
"that I never have a cold unless
someone gives it to me."
"Yes I'm helpin' some," said Frank Strong, Jr., as he changed his spade against the coating of ice on the Adams street walk. "Now see that big chuck I got," he continued triumphantly displaying a loosened piece. "At that rate I'll get through in a little while." For over an hour the young chancellor added determined force to the efforts of the workers cleaning the walk on the corner of the street running from the corner of Spooner Library past the Strong home. When the work was completed a clean space of over six feet in length was due to his efforts.

Attendance at morning prayers was the largest it has been this week. The services are intended primarily for those five boys and girls during the Mott Campaign, but many others are attending.

MOVING PICTURES
Using Tennyson's "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of" as his main theme, Dr. Stanton Linger this morning developed a number of Mott Campaigns. "The work of the campaign," he said, "will be like the seeds in the Biblical parable: some of them will fall on the rocks, some among the bramble and some on the river—some with good soil and of lasting benefit to the people and the University."
