Blackstone 2591FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1916.IN DEFENSE OF FEMINISMj' In last week's Maroon, as at the.same time every quarter, the scholastic averages of the eighteen fraternities at the University were published. Despite the fact that overemphasis upon the importance ofgrades may embody many evils, TheMaroon believes that the custom ofprinting the standings of the Greekletter societies is decidedly worthwhile. _Consequently, the questionarises, why exempt women's clubsfrom so desirable a practlce?The advantages of giving publicityto the academic rating of such organizations lie in the facts that the issuing of grades tends to act as a stimulant to efficient work and that scholastic excellence' merits recognition,even as scholastic mediocrity deservesexposure. The very reasons :whichjustify the publication of fraternities'averages apply to the women's clubs.T,he fair sex is continually crying forequal rights: why not grant this privilege?A DRAMATIC MILESTONEThe fact that Percy Hammond hasdeemed the program of English plays,to be given tonight in Mandel, of sufficient note to mention the performane at considerable length, mayarouse the attention of hitherto disinterested undergraduates. Studentsmust, under all circumstances, realizethe scope of the production, which isof significance, not alone within thelimits of the campus, but throughoutall educational and artistic circles. Byvirtue of the fact that one of theplays is being staged for the first timein America, and that all arrangementsfor costuming, staging, lighting andincidental matters are being designedwith the utmost accuracy in historical details and artistic correctness,the presentation will undoubtedly attain its purpose.The first accepteu principle of theEnglish department, under whose auspices the plays are to be given, wasto add a memorable program to theinternational tercentenary commemoration of Shakespeare's death. Andthe second ideal of the managementwas to make the occasion perfect inreproduction. The program will represent the history of the Englishstage from the twe!fth century to theElizabethan period, immediately pre-_ ceding Shakespeare. The coaches,stage managers and faculty committees have been expending time andenergy in an effort to reproduce- to the most niggling detail-the atmosphere of the four old plays. Bymeans of novel lighting and stage effects, the audience will seem to beviewing the performance as titoug,hin the original environment in thecourt or open theater of early times.To the undergraduate, then, who isinterested in artistic perfection andwho appreciates intellectual pleasure,the English plays ,will offer an exceptional opportunity. If Ihis objection is that the prices of admissionare exorbitant, or that the managementis catering to the wealthy members ofthe community, he is unquestionablywrong. He may find a few dresssuits and a tiara or two scatteredthrough the audience, but he willleave satisfied that the owners musthave attended, just as he, for the delight of seeing a good performancewell done. The cost of seats arehigh-e-though not so very high, atthat-s-because the expense of production is high. But not to those seriously inclined, the cost of non-attendance is, we believe, irnmeasureablyhigher.SCARLET OR GRAY? undesirable to place men of theirstamp in the two wards in which theUniversity is interested. If men likeNance and Kimball are scarlet wolves-and only you and the man whowrites your speeches for you knowwhat that phrase is intended to mean-well, we'd rather have scarlet wolves representing us in our city government than gray wolves.Rouge et noir, eh?Rouge, thank you.Keno.ROBERTR. �LLlA�SD� IN CALIFORNIAThe Rev.

LJtIIMayor William Hale Thompson isvigorous in his denunciation of Alderman Merriam, Nance, Kimball, Buck,McCormick and their associates, andthe quality of .his remarks is not particularly strained. Neither are, hisphrases startlingly original, We refer particularly to the latest epithet-",scarlet wolves."This epithet may have 'been coined--or should one say counterfeited?to distinguish Aldermen of the Nanceand Kimball type, to whom it was applied, from the gray wolves of longstanding, such as Coughlin, Kenna,Martin and Cullerton. There is onlya small handful of really gray wolvesleft in the 'Council-the 'Pack hasdwindled sadly of recent years-butsuch as remain stand nobly by andfor our Mayor.To the gray wolf the si�ht of a"scarlet" wolf must be obnoxious inthe extreme.' Scarlet wolves are usually associated with bromo-seltzers,headaches, parched Iips and similarunpleasant sensations. But if HisHonor, William Hale Thompson, isholding out-to us the alternative ofremaining with either the scarletwolves or the gray, the answer islaughably easy.The only aldermen who have consistently backed the Mayor' in all ofhis--ahem-"constructive" measuresare, the gray wolves. On every rollcall Mayor Thompson has had the unquestioning support of BathhouseJohn Coughlin, Hinky Dink KennaOscar De Priest, Ed Cullerton, Johnny Powers and such men as M. A.Michaelson, whose attempt to defendBoiler Inspector George E. Nye stillprovokes a reminiscent snicker aroundthe Council chamber.

OPINIONS ON PLAYS' OF THE WEEKBy Howard Mumford Jo�es."The Ohio Lady," by Booth Tarkington and Julian Street; a comedy infour acts: at the Blackstone theater.The patrons of the Blackstone theater have 'had a number of mild disappointments this season and somedisagreeable surprises. "The IOhioLady" is both of these. Had thesign announcing this play appearedover the entrance to the Princess theater most play-goers would have beenable to guess the type of pray andmight even have made a shrewd guessat the plot. But the well earned reputation of the Blackstone for presenting plays, -dramatlcally good, playsthat are brilliantly written and ar;.:tistically presented, ought to be aguarantee to the ticket purchaser thathe is not going to se a rehabilitationof a type of play given up for deadfifteen years ago and that assuredly deserved to die.The sweet young girl, fresh fromthe pure West (Ohio, time the present) 'has gone to stay (perhaps) withhe, very wicked father and his recently acquired wife in New Yorkand has left h'er mother (who had earlier divorced her father for spendingthe. family, fortune) in Ohio. Fatherand Maude, the new wife, being verymuch in love with the three hundredthousand dollars that U ncle Ben hasleft to Eleanor, seek to endear themselves to 'her and to lead her withina few days to abandon all wish! toreturn to the country. They dazzle,her with sinful pleasures and -she appears to take them quite naturally.A150 they find her eager to take country houses for the season and' buythem pearl necklaces and other tokens of newly discovered esteem,But quite artlessly she invites hercousin, Laura 'Price, to visit her..Laura arrives with, a ready tongue,good old Ohio morals, much geo-. graphic and' economic lore about t'hemiddle ,West, and a wicker' suitcase., It. seems that a wicker suitcase is ahissing to New Yorkers. At any ratethe assembled hcusehcld decide at,once that she is fair game and dowhat mortal New Yorkers can do tosnub her- sufficiently. For no otherapparent reason she decides to stay.Stay she does; and in the course of afew hours she intercepts the newtwenty-five thousand dollar -"gift" necklace, by a fortunate circumstan�cis able to unmask that gray iniquity,Gore, who is 'her cousin's new stepmamma's wicked lover and who foryears has paid her father a free salary, and induces Mr. George Tewkesberry Reynolds III. (pronounced, byher, I-I-I) to beg for the job ofcarrying her wicker suitcase forever.Now if there had been some wit inthe wickedness' of the New Yorkersor if wit had been necessary, or notbeing necessary, had been used incircumventing them the play mighthave been tolerable. My guess is thatonly the sheer swiftness of commonplace of the, dialogue prevented thesmall house from becoming no houseat all before the curtain came downfor there is a certain element of surprise to most persons in first realizing how snappily one extremely dullspeech may follow another.Poor Miss Nash and :Mr. O'Brien!They deserve a really good vehicle ofexpression. Mr. O'Brien in particularhas one of the pleasantest speakingvoices it has been my pleasure to hearon the stage this season. He had apart sufficiently brainless to make itextremely difficult to speak pleasingly without ether underplaying or overplaying the part. He is enough o,fan artist to playa bad part well with:" Iout losing his personal charm.
