MONROE DOCTRINE OF
EAST IMPORTANT NEWS
History 4 Class Interested in Develop
ments Concerning Japan's Protec
torate Over China.
PROTEST FROM UNITED STATES
The History 4 class, studying current
events, considers the Japanese policy
in China, called the Monroe Doctrine
of the Far East, the most important de
velopment in the history of the past
two weeks. This move on Japan's part
has been interpreted as "an attempt to
establish a protectorate over China."
The British and United States govern
ments protested immediately but sepa
rately, as a combination of powers was
considered inadvisable by the govern
ment authorities.

CRITIC COMMENDS
LEADS AND FOWLER
"Don't' Mumble Your Words" is
Most Appreciated Expres
sion of Evening.
COMEDY BRINGS LAUGHS
The Dramatic Council scored one of
its higgest successes with the produc
tion of Booth Tarkington's play, "The
Man from Home," Saturday night,
April 21. Tills refreshing comedy was
staged with 1111 able cast of players be
fore an appreciative audience. Prof.
Philip Furnas coached and rounded the
material into shape for the splendid
program.
The main honors go to Virginia Lev
ering, (icorge Silver, anil Franklin
Fowler, who portrayed their parts un
usually well. Virginia Levering as the
lovely American girl betrothed to a son
of Kuglish royalty showed a keen un
derstanding of her part. She held her
audience from the time she entered as
a piquant. young girl and left as a
snsible, sane young woman who had
been made to realize the folly of her
engagement by the Kokomo, Indiana,
lawyer, ieorge Silver. Silver played
naturally, assisted by that "million dol
lar smile." Franklin Fowler as the
silly, spoiled youth who had only his
family's reputation to live on, is to be
commended on his consistent acting.
John Macomber in the role of a
smart inn-keeper deserves especial mer
it for his Italian pronunciation.
Frances Alexander looked lier part
to perfection, and her dramatization
of the Flench mndame whose love lias
been stolen by the Englishman, Warren
liraanson, helped to prove to Miss Le
vering the imprudence of her engage
ment. Bessnnsoti acted the part of a
two-faced "gentleman" to whom Rob
ert was blind, and the audience felt
sorry for I'oole's inexperience despite
his nonchalant, self-confident air as
Miss Levering's brother.
Dorothy Sturdivant came tip to all
expectations as the deaf, aristocratic
English woman whose pet expression
was "don't mumble your words," and
felt insulted at any prefix other than
"lady."
