SOLE CHICAGO TALK BYALFRED NOYES TOMORROWTickets for Lecture in Mandel onSal� in Cobb-Dean Linn Says Af­fair Will be Rare Treat.That the lecture by Alfred Noyeson "The Optimism in the Poetry ofthe Future," scheduled for tomorrownight at 8 in Mandel will be the onlylecture that the poet will deliver dur­ing his present visit to Chicago, wasthe statement made yesterday by PaulRussell, general chairman of the af­fair. Mr. Noyes will arrive in Chicagothis morning and will reside at theBlackstone hotel during hs stay inthe city."This is the first time in over twoyears that Alfred Noyes has visitedChicago, and it is doubtful whetherhe will return again within the nexttwo or three years," said ChairmanRussell. "Mr. Noyes' duties at Prince­ton will soon be over and he willprobably return to England. Thispresent opportunity to hear himspeak on poetry and give readingsfrom his own verse should not beneglected. Get your tickets now."Boxes Not Sold.The ticket sale for the lecture isprogressing well, according to GiffordPlume, chairman of the ticket com­mittce. A number of boxes. how­ever, have not yet been reserved. Boxseats sen at the same rate as the otherseats, and the bxes are convenientor parties of six or less. PresidentJudson will have one of the boxes atthe_'lecture. -, All -tickets ciii' be 'se-cured from members of the ticketcommittee or at the box office inCobb.The publicity committee, of whichLawrence McGregor is chairman, havesent out circulars to the members ofthe faculties asking them to announcethe lecture in the various classes. Theproceeds of the affair, which is be­ing given under the auspices of theSenior class, wiU be devoted to a classgift. A gift committee will be an­nounced later by President Redmon.The chairman of the arrangementscommittee is Harod Moore. ;Is Widely Acdaimed.Few English authors since the daysof Charles Dickens have been greetedwith such attention and publicity in'America as has Mr. Noyes. He hasbeen entertained at Yale. Columbia,Pennsylvania and Dartmouth, at theMacDowell club of New York, theTwentieth Century club of Chicagoand the Contemporary club of Phila­delphia. He has been the guest ofCarnegie, Roosevelt, Wi11iam DeanHowells, Mrs. Thomas Bailey Aldrichand others.When Mr. Noyes made his lastvisit to America in 1913, he was asked'by the officials of Princeton, univer­sity to accept a position of visitingprofessor of English. He arrived inthis country last year to take up thatwork, and his duties at Princetn haveallowed hi� to lecture considerably,and he already has spent some timein lecturing at the universities of theWest and Middle West. Soon afterhis visit in Chicago, Mr. Noyes willreturn to his work at Princeton.Is Rare Opportunity."Alfred Noyes reads poetry, andparticularly his own poetry, betterthan any living man I know," saidAssociate Prof. Linn in one of hisclasses yesterday. "It would be un­wise for anyone who has never heardMr. Noyes lecture not to attend thetalk tomorrow night, and extremelyunwise for one who has never heardhim read poetry."

Blackstone 2591.FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1916.A LAMENTABLE EPISODE.A liberal education is the stock intrade of every university and .college,To accuse an institution of learning,where tolerance is unquestionablyfundamental, of suppressing legitimatespeech is as serious an allegation ascould be made against any univer­sity. I t is a regrettable fact that aman of Owen Wister's wide reputeshould' be associated with' so' inex­cusable a misapprehension, and thata �ost justifiable and commonplacecircumstance should be so grosslymisconstrued.THE INTERCLASS ATHLETICASSOCIATION.The establishment of an InterclassAthletic association; despite the acuteinflammation in student activities, maybe -looked, upon as' the justifiable cre­ation of a new body, which has asits sphere of endeavor a compara­tively recently opened field of work.And if the Interclass Athletic asso­ciation is not a flash in the pan, tobe created and then retire into a Rip­van .... Winklian state of apathy, it isreplete with possibilities.There are too many undergraduateorganizations in existence today, andthe new association must show itsvitality in order to earn the reputa­tion of a worthy student institution.Many observers of matters collegiatehave, in years past, assailed the over­organization 6£' s'ttident: activities andthe plethora of clubs and societies onthe campus; some of these objectionsare, The Maroon believes, well found­ed. It is not a satisfactory state ofaffairs when the normal enjoymentof music is perverted in to an intri­cate orchestra or Glee club with num­erous officers, and when the desirefor companionship among the under­graduate classes is met by parties anddances, all managed by committees,sub-committees and chairmen. Andso systematic are these committees, soefficiently is the formal dance man­aged, that the outcome is usuallymuch consummation of time and ener­gy. an abundance of excitement, anda minimum of free and easy fun.Cognizant of all these facts, we arencvcrthclc s s convinced that there isa place for the Interclass Athleticassociation. The d cvc lopment of ath­letic competition among men whoparticipate in sports for sport's sakeis to be encouraged. The associationshould be conducted as a means tothe ends of entertainment and closerrelationship between the classes. Itwill probably be to interclass ath­letics that the universities will lookas a remedy for the evils of intercol­legiate athletics. The newly formedassociation will have the opportunity,f,1,.. '.' to provide healthful, inexpensive andenjoyable exercise for the many. Thenew association should be of inesti­mable value to the undergraduatebody at the University. The successor failure of the Interclass Athleticassociation may be considered signifi­cant when the final reckoning on in­tercollegiate sports is made.COMMUNICATIONS(In view of the fact that the com­munication column of The Daily.Maroon is maintained as a elearing­house for student oplmon, TheMaroon accepts no responsibility forthe sentiments therein expressed. Com­munications must be signed as an evi­dence of good faith, although thename will not be published withoutthe wrlter's consent.)Service Poor, Cost Low, PricesHigh.To the Editor:I t seems that the management ofthe men's commons is reducing ex­penses. That should mean lower orat least constant prices, should it not?Ordinarily, it should, but the com­mons management is, perhaps. notordinary. A caterer ia is instituted at,breakfast in .place of the former tableservice, and fewer waiters are needed.However, prices on the food have goneup simultaneously with the reductionin cost. Formerly, most of us usedto order a club breakfast ranging inprice from fifteen to twenty-five cents.Now, the club meals are abolished;and to buy the same food while be­ing inconvenienced by having to serveourselves, costs almost fifty per cent.more than it did last quarter.Perhaps the most popular clubbreakfast last quarter was that knownas 'Number 2. it cost fifteen' cents,and included a fruit or cereal, onepoached egg on toast, toast or a hotroll, and 'coffee, tea, milk or cocoa.Toduplicate that breakfast now coststwenty-two' cents. Club Number 3has been raised in price apprximatelythirty per cent.; club Number 1 hasbeen raised about one-fourth; and soon through all of the meals. Thus,for the inconvenience of a cafeteriaservice, we pay from twenty-five tofifty per 'cent. more than we did lastQuarter, and the commons saves onits expenses besides!In 't�e evening, the staff of waitershas been cut down from ten to fif­teen. Last night, five regular cus­torners of the commons waited fortyminutes before they were served.Four others walked out after twentyminutes waiting, One of the waiterstold me that he was actually ashamedto give the patrons of the commonssuch abominable service as he wasforced to give under the new arrange­ments. I know that there are manyof the other customers of the com­mons besides myself who feel as I doin the matter. Do you think it isunfair to ask that something be doneto bring conditions back to wherethey were last quarter? Eating atthe commons was at least bearablethen, if not advisable. ,Maybe wemay anticipate even an improvementover last quarter's service.

Maroonwas scheduled to attend "NobodyHome" at the Prnicess. but the busi­ness manager, being in a merry mood,failed to reserve tickets at that showhouse, and the amateur of the dramawas left to his own devices. It wasremembered that George Arllss wasstill playing, and accordingly he curs­ed the business manager, crossed theloop and entered the Blackstone. Thisstatement is necessary to account fora review of a play whose life in Chi­cago is nearly done-though, indeed,there is no reason why a post-engage­ment article should not be as valuablein its way as the critique of an open­ing night.There were not many people in thehouse-it was a wintry night-andfor that reason, probably, the playseemed to lack a certain enthusiasm.Or was it indeed that most of Knob­lauch's plays lack a certain enthusi­asm? Mr. Knoblauch is an interest­ing experimenter in dramatic form,but it must be confessed that a goodmany of his plays depend for theirinterest largely in the pleasant varietyof form he manages to achieve. Theyare not drama, though they are ofthe stage: They give the same im­pression as an amateur magician giveswho pulls a rabbit from some unusualportion of his anatomy and after thatone bright spurt of or_iginality revertsto the standard parlor tricks. So itwas with "My Lady's Dress" and"Mile-Stones"; so it is with "Paga-nini."jNow that the run is nearly over andwe have ti�e to reflect, it -will be con­ceded. I 'think, that without GeorgeArliss "Paganini" would be as dull,stale, flat an'd unprofitable as a highschool performance of "The Merchantof Venice." This comment is obviusbut it is also significant, deeply sig­nificant, for it touches upon two vitaldifficulties of moment in the construc­tion of plays. The first difficulty isthat if you build your play for a star,you must give the star plenty ofheaven to twinkle in, you must al­low for all his favorite tricks of act­ing, for mannerism and voice and ageand gesture, and the result is that sofar as construction of plays is con­cerned,' details entirely unnecessary tothe play, matters which should besubordinated come to take up toomuch space. Your play becomes lop­sided. Other characters are merelysketched or skimped; they becomeuninteresting; and when your hero isoff the stage (as he necessarily mustsometimes be) the audience is bored. It is the difference, let us say, be­tween Paganini and Cyrano de Ber­gerac, to use a familiar illustration.Rostand is always musing whetherCyrano be on the stage or not; butthose parts of Paganini which lackGeorge Arliss are dull.The second difficulty that Mr.Knoblauch failed _to overcome is thegood old-fashioned one of lack ofconflict. The reason why CaptainJoseph Strangford is a stick is partlybecause he is badly acted and partlybecause Paul Gordon who does thepart, can not help being a stick, werehe ever so good an actor. The pointof the play was evidently intendedto be, "Who gets the girl?-Paganinior the' Captain?" but to force Char­lotta back to the awkward arms o,fthe Captain. the dramatist has had'to employ a trick so palpably badthat the whole play comes tumblingdown.There is no conflict between music_and love with Paganini; we are ex­pressly assured that Charlotta is theinspiration for his music, and when- the 'Captain seizes the violinist'sGuarini with much rhodomontadeabout music, one may be pardonedfor inquiring how Paganini could beexpected .to support Charlotta if hedidn't have his violin and supposinghe kept her? And when Arliss whohas ripped up the stolid British argu­ments for a duel, etc., etc., with un­ca�ny preCISIOn melodramaticallygives up the girl, one is confrontedwith the choice .of supposing that amind which, a minute ago was verykeen has suddenly been turned upsidedown, or of thinking that Kn9blaucbwas hard put to it to end his play.1\{ r, Knoblauch's trouble is that 'asbetween Paganini and the Captainthere can be conflict {or the posses­sion of Charlotta; the forces are too­unequal; the genius simply -walksaway with the situation, and the ordi-­nary man makes an ass of himself.The Captain is an ordinary-a very or­dinary man.At this late date it is unnecessaryto say that George Arliss is-:-GeorgeArliss, that is Paganini himself; norto comment on the stupidities of theStrangford family or the competent;if overcolored Bianchi of FlorenceXuer. Exactly why Leontine Fay wasbrought' into the play is not clear;in spite of Miss Dane's utmost ef­forts the character is a bore. Thewaiter of Mr. Bayfield was-and is-a pleasant acting of a minor role.Probably the bcst comment onPaganini was made by a man and his,wife who sat next to the writer ofthis screed. "The costumes are verypretty," said she, tc which he retort­ed, "It isn't very exciting." Bothwere right. LjStanley Roth.Prof. Manly is 111.Prof. John M.
