TUESDAY, MAY '9, 1916.YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPERAnnouncement of more extensiveplans for furthering the French War-Orphan fund was made last week.Co-operation with several eastern,western and middle-western uni­versities in this relief work isplanned.

(And that is the perfectly nor­mal condition). These heads of fam­ilies are either dead, disabled, desert­ers, insane, in prison, feeble-minded,or ill at. home or in hispitals. The av­erage number to be provided for inthese families is four and one-half.Governmental agencies are inade--quate, The work necessarily devolvesupon the United Charities, an organi­zation depending entirely upon thecontributions of Chicago's citizens.And Chicago's citizens have failed tocontribute. For, only last Friday thatorganization was forced to borrow$5,000 to meet immediate needs. And$30,000 is needed monthly for itswork.Our duty toward the 14,000 needypersons in these 3.000 families is un­deniable. The future prosperity ofour country must depend upon the in­dividuals potentially capable of citi­zenship. If we passively sit by andallow thousands of them to grow up,stunted, ignorant, irresponsible, ournegligence becomes criminal. Canany person question his duty as be-I tween a contribution to the French'I War Orphan fund and one to the Unit­ed. <llarities 1· The one is the morespectacular; but the other is -a duty,I solemn and not to be ,shirked.

Forthere is, oh, so subtle a - disculturalinfluence in our midst! Perhaps, how- 'ever, it is not an influence, we add asa still, small, frightened after-thought.Perhaps an evidence-a reflection!But be it evidence or influence, be itfish, flesh or fowl, or even good redherring, the contents of the magazine'vending rack at the University ofChicago Press will reassure those whoview with an alarm engendered byNoyes recitals and pre-Shakespearean Iplays what they believe is a tendency ,, on our part to become cultured. -ICultured! Well, we rather scorn­fully guess not. At least not whileThe Nation is not offered for sale bythe Press, ,bless its low-brow littleheart, and The Smart Set and Lifeare. Not while the Press, which has,not on its stand The Review of Re­views offers for sale periodicals which,by the mercy of Prov' dence and thegrace of the Federal constitution,barely escape being barred from theU. S. mails.The Press magazine stand is cer­tainly a grand little Palladium of-of­of something, and it enforces its guar­dianship even at the-well-risk of mak­ing itself ridiculous. For of coursethe Press vends its own publicationswhich are the last word in profession­al journals. Hence we see such sci- ; entific periodicals as The Botanical'Gazette, The Journal of Geology, andvarious zoological and medical publi­cations standing on the same shelfas, let us say, Lif�a magazine whichproclaims to the' world that vaccina­tion is a curse, that doctors are crim­inals, that 'Jenner and Pasteur wereno better than morons, and that ma­teria medica is a farce.

Sofar as they refleCt the controversywhich has somewhat unexpectedly aris-en over the play, they are typical ofa misunderstanding of the purpose ofHr. Jones who Wrote the critici�and of the Maroon, which asked himto do so. Careful _analysis of Mr •Poague's letter reveals that in his­fund8uie:n:tal opinions he agrees withMr.-Jones th�t "A Rhenisb Rhomanee"is a conVentional colnic opera which'"these rather indulgent audiences;' re­ceived, laughed - at where they could,and went home. This is almost the.lan�age 'of Satu�y's criticism.Dean Boynton is, "so. comple�lyagreed- with the f"ll'St column of Mr.Jones's comments '''that he migh�have written it himself."�r. BoyntOn, who "didnot read thedetails '!hich followed" bas heard thatthe killed, wounded and missing wereunexpectedly numerous, and that thegeneral deductoin from Mr. J ones'scriticism was "that no' good reasonexisted for going to a Friars' pro­duction." A reading of" the rest ofMr. Jones's criticism, will, we aresure, convince Mr. Boynton that thisis an unwarranted deduction to drawfrom a temperate and careful artiCle.Mr. Poague complains that the criticdid not devote enough space to Mr.Dyrenfort;h, -Mr.. Windrow and Mr.Bannister. Surely the merits of Mr.Dyrenforth and Mr. Windrow asfunny men are points on which op­,inion may legitimately differ; never-,theless the critic paid, them the_ com­pliment of 'Careful attention and ofconstructive suggestions for improve­ment. And if Mr. Poague will oncemore read the article he will find thatMr. Jones so highly approved of Mr.Bannister's work that he remarked onthe "astounding thing" he did in cre­ating a character part. Even for Mr.'Pogue praise can hardly go higher.Mr. Boynton then goes on to declarethat he liked the show, for which weare glad, and Mr. Poague descants atlength on the difficulties of Blackfri­ars productions in general-a matterwhich hardly involves the merits ofI."A Rhenish Rhomance" as a spec-tacle to see.If, then, these communications eith­er agree with Mr. Jones in his com­ments or do not carefully considerwhat was said, why does Mr. Boynton()pen his letter by declaring that "thi,sis not a 'reply' to the criticism" and .., /Get a Copy OJThe New View Book24 Views, Including New BuildingsPRICE, $1.00THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESSA· 'd Room 106 Emmons Blaine Han5750 Ellis venue ... an ...FOR HEALTH AND STRENGTH- Students uk forh 0 R Lie K' 5, tile Origina�.

I wish in­so-far as is possible to draw the atten­tion of the readers of this paper tothe fact that the play offered thisyear is not �nly a "respectable suc­cess" but as evidenecd by the audi­ences of Friday and Saturday nights and the resultan_t disc:usaion, a ·rath­er unusual suc:eeas..While Mr. JOl)es 'gave some credit.to the composers and to Mr. Coleman�the producer and spoke in the mainfavorably of the principals, he did notstate that, the effec:ts and the choruswork are the DlOBt complicated andthe best done of any Friars' show infive years. Nor did he devote as muehspace as the excellence of the workinvolved called for to Mr. Dyrenforth,Mr. Windrow and Mr. Bannister. Itis the first time I can remember since"Capturing Calypro" �t I have seen .a comedian in Mandel hall who heldan audience so well that he brought.a laugh at every attempt. This re­'fers to Mr. Windrow, who had almost� laugh 11 lirie on Saturday night.. Hiswork � expert and sure and did notappear, to tire on the audience al­though he was on stage a great dealof the time. 'In a play in which the girl parts aretaken by men, there must of neces­sity be much burlesque, indeed, �hatis what the Blackfriars' plays alwaysapproach. That being the case whyshould we mind a familiar type Of�tory, so long as it amuses, which thisplay certainly does? The judgeschose this libretto from others ofentirely different sorts, because theyfelt that the college audiences wanteda return to the fonner style of play.That their judgment was right isshown by the comments heard on allsides, that this is a "good show".That is what these rather indulgentaudiences came to see, a good show-'which means plenty of laughs, boysin high heeled shoes, some tunefulmusic and clever dancing.
