Reasons For Supporting Kipke
A, University Of Michigan Regent
BY WILLIS WARD
Former L. Of NJ. Football and Track Star

For eight years, Throughout my football and track
career have known and cherished the friendship of
1.-The great Harry kpke, former football coach of the
University of Michigan.
Upon graduating from Northwestern High School
was told that colored boy could not make the foot
ball team at the University of Michigan. With this in
mind decided not to enroll at Ann Arbor
In the Spring of 1881, however, had an occasion
o meet Harry Kipke. His interest IL my activities and
hs advice to my in football and track proved
TO me that at least Harry Kipke would give me fair
and equal opportunity in the field of athletics.
For four years, as the first Negro member of the
football team since the coming of Fielding Yost to Mich
iran knew Mr.. Kipke intimately and received from
him encouragement and help that enabled to do my
mart for our great University
Those of us who realize the Importance of the posi-
zion on the Board of Regents of the University must al
realize how important it is that only fair and just
men serve on the Board. Regardless of what others
might say our interest colored citizens would be best
served by the election of this humanitarian leader and
sincere friend, Harry c. Kipke

Paramount Turns
No End Mysterious

Paramount has announced plans
for production of mysterious pic
ture entitled "Dr. Cyclops." On the
grounds the film will contain tech
nical and story innovations Of such
a sensational and unusual nature
that they can be protected only
by secrecy, the studio is taking un-
precedented steps to keep facts
regarding it even from persons
within the organization.
A short announcement from Will
liam lie Baron, managing director OF
production, merely reveals that DIR.
Cyclops" will be produced by Dale
Van Every and directed by Ernest
B. Schoedsack, who arc working in
close cooperation with the studios
experts on special effects and trick
photography, Gordon Jennings and
Farciot Edouart.
The story Is an ,rlg'na by Tom
fitzpatrick, well known in Hollywood
for the unusual pictures with which
he has bee nassociated. Schoedsack
directed King Kong" "Son OF
Kong" and Last Days Of Pompeii"
and was co-partner of Grass"
and Chang"
AS an example of the extremes
to which the studio is going to pro-
tect "Dr. Cyclops" story details, only
eight persons have been permitted
to see the original story IN Its en-
tirety-Le Baron, Y. Frank Freeman,
Van Every, Schoedsack, Jennings,
Edouart, A. M. Botsford and George
Bagnall. Others are shown only

rectly involved.

children who drop in with their va
riouS acute love problems for pop
the old expert-to solve.
A situation like that can be funny,
but you will never know how funny
until you see Mr.. Barrymore In 1t.
When he starts cropping for the
names of the various offspring, re-
members them and their mothers
In terms of the Shakespeare he was
playing at the time, it is not the Oft
told tale of the peripatetic ham. It
is much better because it is played
with a different, a more distin-
guished touch. If the play seems a
bit slow in this early passage in
which the father and children are
finally meeting, it is probably more
a tribute to the hero's lost charm
than a criticism of the playwrights
or Director Otto Preminger. It takes
time to get children from all corners
of large country like this one to a
Swiss chateau, where the sire is de-
caying in suitable grandeur.
The action really begins when the
father starts settling the heart af-
fairs Of the children in the midst Of
a half-hearted attempt to start a
new one Of his own.
In dealing with their men, and his
recalcitrant, temperamental women,
Mr.. Barrymore is given a royal op-
portunity to revert to those famous
speeches in which Shakespeare dis
posed of infamy. They ring, you
can bet. They ring loudest, with a
reminiscent or a legendary signifi-
canoe, when the star dons the old
tights and, with a deep feeling for
caricature, struts briefly through
the old, great moments of Shake
Spearean actor.

There were dialogue troubles, not
too many and only one outstand-
ingly conspicuous, in the perform
ance. They did not conceal the fact
that MY Dear Children" has some
bright and ironical things to say.
One that combines both qualities is
that in which Mr.. Barrymore, gaz-
ing at a painting of himself as
Hamlet, observes: Damn you. You
thought you had troubles"
Apart from Mr.. Barrymore and
Miss Barrie, the cast boasts of such
capable players as Tala Birell, as
a full-fledged siren, out for what's
left of the actors scalp; Dorothy
Mcclure and Lois Hall as the be-
wildered daughters Miss Barrie
plays the third one, who is very we'll
informed, Philip Reed as the
juvenile scoundrel. and Lloyd Cough
as an Oxford intellectual who rather
fancies himself as a lover. All of
them are capable enough.
MY Dear Children is played
against a single setting, Swiss
chateau, which serves its purpose
nicely except for a doorway so small
that Mr.. Barrymore bumped his
head on nearby ornament on one
entrance. The show is rather wildly
dressed, not merely in its Shake
spearean areas. but elsewhere;
especially Mr.. Barrymore and Miss
Barrie.

the case of Robert Wayne, who

In Bauer's
Concert
Agriculture's
Orchestra
Heard

Introducing rather unusual ar
ray Of compositions for solo with or
chestral background and also SYM
phony OF great distinction, DR.. WAL
ter Bauer, conductor of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture Orchestra, gave
an interesting concert yesterday eve
ming at the Department of Agricul-
ture auditorium
The palm of achievement went
last night to Anne O'Brien, the at
tractive young harpist of this SYM
phonic group, who was heard in
Widors "Chorale and Variations"
for harp and orchestra. Technically
mature, Miss O'Brien gave a crisp
and polished performance of Widor's
brilliant work Obbligati played by
the flutes, cello and violin in turn
lent additional interest and color to
a composition so admirably suited
to the technique of the harp. The
young artist was enthusiastically ap-
plauded and recalled several times.
A rather unusual combination Of
a solo violin accompanied by q mems
chorus, was another feature of the
program, with Irving Ginberg, con-
certmaster. as soloist. Mr.. Ginbergs
manner Of playing Is broad and
warm and while the mems voices
do not lend any greater charm to
this instrument they furnished
sustained accompaniment, which
showed possibilities for developing
this idea in combination with small
group of string instruments.
The same section of mems voices,
prepared by c. S. Tenley and led
by DR.. Bauer. sang the Sailors
Chorus" from Wagner's The Flying
Dutchman" The work of this group
as well as that Of the women, which
performed Brahms ave Maria"
and Weinler's Dance Song" gave
credit to both Mr.. Tenley and Ruth
Morgan, director Of the women's
section. A good ensemble, a mellow
tone and sense of balance were
always in evidence.
Preceding his program by a re-
mark that Mr.. Pointer, first chair
OF the viola section, was taking the
place OF Kurt Waenke, the absent
French horn player, DR.. Bauer led
the overture to Glinka's Russian

effect. The same can be said OF
Bruckner's symphony No. T." in

special mention. since much de-

A serious composer of great tai

to that Of Wagner. In his treat.

Bruckner does not belong to the

raphy of its star, is not perfect
theater. It is grand entertainment,
however, and never was an ovation
better aimed than that directed at
Mr.. Barrymore when the final cur
tain fell. If he really was playing
with that reported fever of 102.
there was no hint in the spirit and
zest of his performance to indicate
that 102 is not the normal tempera-
ture of a Barrymore.
The major truth (where's Pilate?)
to be uttered of my Dear Children"
Is that Mr.. Barrymore unfailingly
Is dramatic. He provides constant
excitement which seems to exist
beyond the play which was written,
and competently, by Catherine Tur-
ney and Jerry Horwin. It may be
unfair to the authors to deny them
credit for the fascination of those
interludes in which Mr. Barrymore
tosses off vignettes of his famous
stage roles, but it looks like such
pure Barrymore that one cannot
resist. And it looks even more like
pure Barrymore when the star de-
serts the script to reprove the
prompter for a whisper that achieves
the proportions of disorderly con-
duct. 1t actually enhanced the en-
tertainment.
