English Club Told
History of Theater

DR.. Robert NJ. Limpus OF the
English department OF Michigan
State Normal College outlined the
history OF the theater. emphasizing
particularly its development in De
troit, when he addressed members
Of the English Club at their meet
ing Wednesday evening in Charles
McKenny Hall
DR.. Limpus set 1853 as the date
when the first theatrical activity
in the United States began. He
said that the travelling stock com
panies were preceded by the local
amateur units In Detroit. 1t was
not uncommon for one actor to
know II or II Shakespearian plays,
and be able to take any part i'm
mediately. DR.. Limpus stated.
The speaker pointed out that
plays were better reflection OF
the thought of the people during
historical times than the contem-
porary literature, for only the high
ly educated read, while the theater
enjoyed large attendance.
DIR. Limpus' source of informa-
tion for his talk was chiefly old
newspapers.
Miss Lenora Haab, Ann Arbor,
president of the English Club, in
troduced the speaker.

That wouldn'. be a bad idea,

Mana tapped pencil against her

Went to Princeton, as l remember.
Asked me to sing at some fra
ternity party or other. He used TO
be pretty gay, cutting up the way
college kids do. He got in a few
minor jams, like painting a cam
pus statue, or stealing trolley car
or something"
We'll, if that's ALL" Fran said
with relief.
"Oh, he graduated to bigger and
better ones. There was some fuss
about his not having the proper re-
spect for the Japanese mikado
when he was in Toxic. Then one of
the chorus girls in the High
Jinks" company sued him for
breach of promise and it was set
tied out of court"
The other girls mouth frightened
and she looked like a worried
mother hen.
Mana patted her hand. Don't
let that get you down, Frances.
After all, we've been around and
we both know that any boy who
has a string of polo ponies and his
own plane is an easy target. Any
kid who's filthy rich gets into
jams-and print, all too easily. His
mother takes him off on the family
yacht and everything blows over.
Say, don't you remember all the
stuff there was in the newspapers
about him starting from: the Dot
tom in the shipping business last
year? His mothers family owns

"A nice, steady, old-fashioned

What would you do IL you
wanted to go shooting and you had
five or six million dollars in your

Fran buttoned her coat. I'D go
