Such a pro¬duction was the presentation of Max¬well Anderson’s “Valley Forge’’ bythe Hull House Players.•Admittedly the production had nopatent-leather gloss, although thesets and lighting by Edward Spolinwere well done. The tempo was slowin many places due to missed cuesand forgotten lines. But the spirit of(be patriotic play was sustainedthroughout. This spirit or sincerity isone of the most interesting problemsin such a play. The lack of it makesthe playwright’s work evangelisticand hammy, and this was exactly howthe first part of “Abe Lincoln in Illi¬nois’’ struck me when I saw it. Al-Uiough Sherwood’s play itself is muchinferior to Anderson’s there is thesame problem of presenting a greathistorical figure realistically. Sur¬prisingly enough the Hull HousePlayers, without a Raymond Masseyand with a number of decidedly un-American accents, managed to solvethe problem without incongruity.Credit goes to director Maurice Si¬mon for putting those actors with greater technical knowledge in placeswhere studied artificiality instead ofsincerity w’as desirable. Thus Howe’scourt, the Congressmen, and LaFay-ette form an interesting contrast tothe rest of the players, who as a re¬sult become convincing backwoodsAmericans.The comedy especially was adeptlyhandled. History was made real with¬out effort, and we wonder if CarlSandburg, who was rumored to be atthe performance, could put his Lin¬coln on the stage as effectively.The performance is repeated thisSaturday in the Hull House Theater.Discuss Courtship ^Engagement TodayDr. Harold Bowman, pastor of thFirst Presbyterian Church of Chicagtand a former psychiatrist, will spealon “Courtship and Engagement’’ today at 4:30 in the Graduate Education Lecture room.This is the second of a series of lec¬tures on marriage problems sponsoredby an all-campus committe under thechairmanship of Webb Fiser. Thespeakers for the next two lectureshave not yet been posted, but will beannounced shortly. A similar seriesof lectures was given two years ago. CollegiumPlaysBach’s SaintJohn’s PassionOf Bach’s many hundreds of com¬positions, one of his greatest, his“Passion According to Saint John,’’as yet remains unperformed in Chi¬cago. Its first complete performancehas been scheduled for March 1 and3, by the chorus and orchestra of theCollegium Musicum under the direc¬tion of Siegmund Levarie.The St. John’s Passion, written a-bout 1725, represents probably thehighest achievement of the passion(form. The form itself is descendedfrom the old practice of the RomanChurch of presenting a semi-theatri¬cal story of the life of Christ eachHoly Week. Music became a part ofthis presentation at a very early date.Tenor EvangelistIn Bach’s passion, the narrator ofthe story, or evangelist, is a tenor.Occasional solo parts are given tovarious characters in the narration,and the chorus represents a mass ofpeople.The performers on this occasionwill consist of a chorus of abouttwenty, and an orchestra consistingof strings, 2 flutes, and two oboes.The following are the soloists: Evan¬gelist— Julian Miller; Jesus — JohnNeher; and Pilate — Lee Hewitt. So¬prano arias will be sung by Henri¬etta Chase; Barbara Russel will singthe contralto solos; and EmmanuelTzukor and Lee Hewitt will do thetenor and bass solos. The organistwill be Gilman Chase. A special harp¬sichord sent from Ypsilanti, Michigan,will fill in the figured basses.The music Department is breakingprecedent in charging a twenty-fivecent admission charge, due to thelarge cost of production. Tickets willgo on sale sometime next week.Sandburg TalksIn May UnderWalgreen GiftCarl Sandburg, the poet and bi¬ographer of Lincoln, will be added tothe list of colorful characters pre¬sented to the campus by the WalgreenFoundation.Sandburg is scheduled to deliver aseries of six lectures during the firstthree weeks in May. These six are tobe divided into two parts. The firstseries of three will be devoted toAbraham Lincoln, and the remainingthree to various undesignated literarytopics of special interest to Mr.Sandburg.Informal DiscussionAccording to Dr. William T. Hutch¬inson, Secretary of the WalgreenFoundation, Mr. Sandburg has agreedto meet students informally duringhis stay; however no definite arrange¬ments have yet been made.Dr. Hutchinson suggests that per¬haps after each of the first three lec¬tures, which will be more or less his¬torical, discussions for history stu¬dents will be held, while during theliterary portion of the series, Englishstudents will be given an opportunityto meet the Illinois sage.“The People, Yes’’Sandburg’s place is contemporaryAmerican literature is unique. Hisstrong felt sympathy for mankind asvigorously expressed in such books ofpoetry as “The People, Yes’’, temper¬ed by a rustic background fit Sand¬burg naturally for his role as poetand sage of the “people.’’ But it washis great admiration for Lincoln thatcaused him to turn historian and bi¬ographer and to produce his most ap¬preciated literary work, the monu¬mental “Lincoln and the PrairieYears,’’ and the recently completed“War Years.’’ Describe Duties Of UnsungTechnical Workers For MirrorBig stars, little stars, chorines, singers, and all the other Mirror Par¬ticipants who are to appear before the footlights in Mandel Hall on March1 and 2, will depend more than they realize upon the six committees actingbehind the scenes. Seventy-six people will be handling the technical end ofthe production. Committees and chairmen are respectively: publicity, RuthSteel; box office, Blanche Graver; program, Doris Daniels; costume, MaryHammel; stage manager, Henrietta Mahon; and properties, Jane Warren.It is the job of the publicity committee, often working with the Uni¬versity’s Press Relations Bureau, to hand out all newspaper stories, fur¬nish various publications with pretty girl pictures, arrange for campusposters, provide members of the Mirror cast for Hotel “College Nights,’’and promote all publicity contests.Box Office, Program, CostumeThe main function of the box office committee is selling tickets. Notonly must campus sales be pushed, but also outside groups must be con¬tacted. The program committee has the difficult task of selling enough ad¬vertising to pay for the expensive program which is given away to eachticket holder. Songs from the show as well as the names of the membersof the cast are included in it.The costume committee has the tremendous responsibility of seeing thatall the costumes fit, have the necessary numbers of buttons, hooks and snapssewed on, and that the costumes are ready for quick changes at thepsychological moment. It is up to the stage manager and her assistantsto oversee everything. They are theones who make sure that each persondoes what he is supposed to do at thetime he is supposed to do it.The props staff has the task ofgathering whatever may be requiredby the situations contained in thescript. Once they have acquired theproperties, they must see to it that nosingle unit is misplaced.As evidence of the fact that suchproduction work has as many takersas the performing spots in Mirrorsare the numbers of workers on eachof these committees. Mary Hammel’scostumers total twenty-six; DorisDaniels’ program forces number sev¬enteen; there are eighteen membersof Blanche Graver’s box office com¬mittee; the publicity, stage managerand properties have four, three andfour members respectively.Mirror Stage ManagerHenrietta MahonUniversity BansMassacre’Movie;Lack PermitAnnounce Showing ofHearst Strike Film forNext Week.Movies of the Memorial Day “Mas¬sacre” of 1937 scheduled to be shownon campus yesterday afternoon werebanned by the Dean’s office becausethe proper police permits had not beenprocured. Neither Dean Randall orthe Police w’anted to see the pictureforcibly interrupted.It has been announced by the LaborProblems Council that the film willbe shown next week free of charge.Information from the Police is that apermit must be secured to show anyfilm in the city and that the film willnot be allowed to run until the per¬mit is obtained. The permit is notcontingent on an admission charge.A film of the Hearst Guild strikerswas shown as scheduled. It depictedthe activities of some 230 personswho spend their days conducting thestrike which is now fourteen monthsold. The strike is organized like abusiness enterprise with a fund-rais¬ing department, a huge publicity de¬partment, a speakers bureau, and apicket department. Strikers keep asclose a watch on advertising in theHerald-American as does the manage¬ment. Firm.s that advertise are ap¬proached by committees and shownwhy they should stop.

Nelson Metcalf, direc¬tor of athletics. Rugby is one of thesports now under consideration by theadministration, but as yet no an¬nouncement has been made concern¬ing the program to be followed dur¬ing the Fall Quarter.The petition recommends that rug¬by be instituted at the University,that several clubs be formed to pro¬vide intramural competition and ifpossible, that varsity competition bearranged with various colleges thatalready sponsor the sport.Rugby is popular on the east andwest coasts, but unfortunately, has notyet met with the enthusiastic supportof midwestern universities. There are,however, a few amateur clubs in Chi¬cago and the immediate vicinitywhich would probably be glad to com¬pete with a University team.Clubs Unite toGive Negro LecturesBecause of the need to know moiabout Negro problems in order twork toward a better understandinbetween races, the YWCA, Chap(Union, the ASU, Science and Societyand the Negro Student Club, are C(operating on a series of lectures o“The History of the American Negro.There will be three lectures thiquarter by Dr. Metz Lochard, whicwill be followed up next quarter wita series of lectures on special pro!lems of the Negro, such as the Negrin industry, the southern Negro, anthe civil liberties of Negroes.The first of these lectures will bthis Friday at 3:30, the other twwill be on the following successivTuesdays.

PECKBefore the DelugeDuring the coming year on¬slaughts of wild and viciouspropaganda such as in a saneworld ought never to insult thesenses of decent human beingsare certain to assail us. Streamsof words screaming hatred, ap¬pealing to our emotions and of¬ten to the baser of these; tor¬rents of words calculated to a-rouse anything but clarity ofthought, are what we have tolook forward to. In this year,many of us who are Universitystudents will be able to vote forthe first time: we will be amongthe objects of these words. Itis very important, therefore,that we know what the wordsmean.Because we are facing one ofthe gravest crises this countryhas had to deal with for manyyears. Right now all the thingswe hold dear, consciously ornot, are endangered. We can befairly certain, then, that theflow of words will be aroundthese things dear to us. We canexpect to hear the names of de-1mocracy, Americanism, free- ^dom, security, fair play, of'work, peace, and of God taken |in vain by the hour. And if we Iare fooled by what we hear, the jconsequences may be terrible. ITo keep from being swirled off !our feet in the floods of words, jwe had better try to steady our¬selves by finding out w'hat thewords really mean — and what |they signify in propaganda weencounter. Maybe by the timepeople are University studentsthey should know automatical¬ly what the great names reallystand for. But how many do?We can’t help it — we haven’t jbeen brought up right. Through |lethargy, concentration on isomething else, or just becauseof bad education we’re as likelyto be suckers in political actionas any veteran ditch-digger.True, University students,because of certain academic re¬quirements, have encounteredfacts about politics and prop¬aganda along the way. We’reas likely as anyone to be famil¬iar with the history, organiza¬tion, and ideals of this nation,and of the philosophies ofothers. But too often, what weknow of these things are onlywords, memorized for purposesof examination. Because theycome from books or classroomlectures the words may seemtrite—we forget they may rep¬resent ideas, and the ideas standfor real things that affect ourlives. That much we accept “in¬tellectually” remains actuallymeaningless to us is shown bythe fact that it is possible forpiople who have passed courses I The Band blared forth in its Mid-sound and fury means, and how j winter affair in Mandel on Sunday,to evaluate it.
