FRITZ LETBER in
HAMLET, COMING
Many College Girls Have AL
ready Bought I'ickets.---In
Columbus Tuesday,
October 18th.
(From The Spectator. }


"0n Fortunes cap we are the very
buttons
1t is not often that we have a
chance to see real dramatic play
,enacted by real dramatic artists. But
al last this opportm y has present
ed Itsef and thee are not many If
us who are nor waiting with beea
anticipation the performance Of
Fritz Leiber-the newest and young
est and one of most brilliant Hamlets.
His former presentations have
brought much favorable comment.
Louis Shefwin in New York Globe
says "Fritz Leiber, to my mind is one
of the best actors of Shakespearean
roles on the English speaking stage.
Mr.. Leiber is infinitely superior to
most Of the widely advertised Shake
speaYean stars. He has the advan-
tage of knowing how to project his
voice-an organ of real power, and of
knowing the value Of rhythm, of
which few of our mummers have any
conception"
Perhaps some Of us have as lucid
an idea of Hamlet as one of our
would-be Freshmen who, answering an
English entrance exam question on
Shakespeare, said 81 have read Ham
mond. He had his ups and downs but
in the end he got what he deserved. :"
This answer cleverly evaded any al
fusion to Hamlet-but those who have
little knowledge will enjoy being en-
lightened and interested by Fritz
Leiber.
Fritz Leiber's reading of the lines
denotes a fine understanding of their
subtleties, an intelligent grasp of
their less obvious signifcancies and :,
cultured appreciation and feeling for
their beauties. Those who have stud
led Shakespeare will be able to recog-
nize and deeply appreciate his in
depreciation and subtleties. Their
of Fritz Leiber will be
the greater because of their own
knowledge. The disciples of Shake
speare through "Dere Teacher" will
glow with pleasure when they recog-
nize the many famous spot pas
sages, and because of certain tests
will be able to shudder with the
tradegy Of it.

quick tempered is just plain bunk;
that he has known people with black
hair to be as high-tempered as pepo-
pie with red hair, and, furthermore,
that he has met some bald-headed
people in his travels who seemed
ready to fly off the handle at the
slightest provocation. So, after all
it is in the peOplpe themselves and
not in their hair.

If it should call the impending strike

"If the board shall declare the

were polled individually.
1T will not" was the unhesitating
reply.

not relevant in the present issue, Mr..

Major Turner explained he was de-
tailed to investigate charges of killing
and ill-treatment of natives by ma
rines.
He said he was instructed to "go
to the bottom of the irregularities,
and that, although he had made every
effort to do so, he had found little
or nothing" to sustain the charges.
He admitted the matters investigat-
ed did not include the road work.
Major Turner testified that air.
planes were used in fighting "Cacos,"
irregular bands of Haitians.
He said that in at least one in
stance machine guns were used against
them and he also knew of q case
where bombs were dropped upon them.
He said the use of bombs was dis
continued because they could not find
enough Haitians together to make it
worth while.
Turner estimated that $500 "Cacos"
have been killed in the fighting since
American occupation of Haiti.
He testified that in two districts the
"Corvee" system was maintained after
it had been ordered discontinued.
