He said that the mostgeneral reason for opposition to aMichigan game was the opinion thatthe Camp Custer-Camp Grant gamewhich has been sanctioned, win probably be as effective in raising mo­ney for the war funds as a post-season .battle .between the-Maroons andWolverines.The faculty members thought thatthere is no need for setting a precedent against the playing of gamesafter the Saturday before Thanksgiving if money can be raised in anyother way besides the one proposed.They said that the main object of theMichigan encounter was the aceumulation of a great sum; for war fundpurposes.

There seems to be every reason whyMiss Clare Kummer's play "A Suc­cessful Calamity" presented at theStudebaker Theater should be a suc­cess. It compares favorably in funwith Miss Kummer's earlier effort,"Good Gracious, Annabelle." Thoughit never rises to the skill and punchof the first act of that comedy, neitherdocs it sink to the waste weariness ofthe second act. It deals with pleasantpeople in a situation which never be­comes .really serious, and it has forits hero Mr. William Gillette, middleaged, 'resourceful, exploding with hisusual dry sputter. It has, moreover,a new tone or atmosphere, a newtempo, .perhaps, whicr mayor maynot add to its popularity.Miss Kummer is a deft rather thana careful playwright. She presentsher characters in true movie fashionone at a time, and allows her audienceto survey them before the businessof the evening begins. Since theyare all of them -good to look upon,the spectator is not bored by theprocess. She makes clear, however,the inception of the idea of the cal­culated calamity on which her storyhangs by an iteration much less sub­tle than any movie audience wouldallow. She builds her situations ofmaterials which are old, but whichin her hands take a fresh life, muchas 'an old bonnet becomes vital inthe hands of a skillful milliner. Theold can be recognized but the newtreatment is fetching, though theremay be justifiable doubts about thesecurity with which the materials areput together.The actors are quite as plaesantas the people in the "story. Mr. Gil­lette, as Henry Wilton "who longs tospend a quiet evening at home," is adomesticated Sherlock Holmes and amarried secret service agent (mar­ried a second time, of course) rolledinto one, with the addition of judi­ciously placed, gray hairs, a velvethouse coat, and two grown children.His wife, Miss' Louise Rutter; andhis daughter, Miss Ruth Findlay, are-, fail! to see, as are also in but slightly,less degree Miss Katherine Alexan­der, one of, the people to whom someone I is or is not engaged at the endof the -play, it's a bit difficult to saywhich or' to whom, and Miss MariaAscaraga, the French maid and al­most villianess, who nearly makes thecalamity real. The various fiancesappertaining to the Wilton menage-_are sufficiently w.cll. embodied in M:r. 8&0 East &3rd StreetKeedwell, Mr. Sterhn, and Mr. Ren-I .del, while; Mr. Manart Kippen's 2 to II p. m. daily Price IOc and 5cPietro Rafaelo ,an tIalian portrait ' TODAY ,painter, looks fresh from our OWl'. 1 ' '57th Street art colony. Antonio Moreno in'tom hair and passionate tears. WhenMr. Wilton, however, feign s a busi­ness failure to achieve a domesticdinner, his family merely dismiss thehairdresser, who happens to be about,declare all bets-bridge and pugilis­tic-ofT, and settle down to cribbageand proposals. When the young andpretty wife seems to poison her brok­en husband and elope with the Italianpainter and the family jewels, thedaughter of the house presses adry cheek to Mr. Gillette's right la­pel, and Mr. Gillette after a vaguetotter walks over to his desk to writea note of forgiveness and a check.It may be, of course, that this isconceived to be the sort of self con­trol exhibited in our upper classes inwhich one is obliged to learn to re­ceive without staggering the infor­mation that he has made three mil­lion dollars over night. The review­er would like to see' in the perform ..ance something different, somethingnew. Our comedies deal not withreal people, but with situations, con­versations, and manners all of Which,so far as the stage is concerned, havebecome highly conventionalized. Whyshould not our acting become equallyconventional with a studied artisticconventionality? The point to be.made concerning Mr. Wi�ton's familyis that they love him in spite of hiswealth. It is not necessary that Mrs.Wilton disturb her curls, Miss Wil­ton her negligee, or the junior Mr.Wilton his cravat. Mrs. Wiltonmerely does her own hair, Miss Wil­ton puts on her own second bestgown, Mr. Wilton, Jr., takes a drink,and the family' dines at home.

In Miss Kummer's play,however, the result is a certain casu­alness which is a bit disconcerting atfirst, but which saves the play fromsentimentality and melodrama, andgives it an atmosphere of unhurriedinterest. Some day, when Miss Kum­mer has learned to see her playsthrough before she writes them or torewrite them after they have cooledshe, with the co-operation of the pres­ent company and Mr. Robert EdmondJones, who makes extraordinarily ef­fective settings, may present a near­ly perfect entertainment.
