DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENTS.
HIGH CLASS YAUDEVILLE
Fully Equal to Any Orpheum
Program in Character
of Performances
Fully equal to an ordinary Orpheum
bill in excellence and" surpassing it in
interest to a University audience was
the vaudeville given under the aus
picies of the University Dramatic club
Saturday evening in the Temple thea
tre. On the whole the program was
quite professional and there was the
proper proportion of music, dancing
and pretty girls.
The headliner was the highly
polished little playlet, "Madame But
terfly" with Susie Scott playing the
part of Cho-Cho San. the deserted
little Japanese girl who wait for the
robins to "nest again" so that her
beloved Lieut. Pinkerton may come
back to her Miss Scott's attractive
personality along with her sudden
changes from powerful seriousness to
melting coquettishness, made the play
into a equlsite thing.
The bill was started by a short but
rollicklngly funny minstrel show fol
lowed by a humorous reading "Red
Head," by Gladyce Appleman, the
Hebrew comedy, "Common Cents,"
some very attractive dancing and a
skit by Fogg and Jackson. After
this three University athletes took
the floor and held the attention of
the audience much better than such
numbers hold ordinary audiences.
"Amateurs of Blngvllle" was a clever
little act representing a program in a
country theatre" where amaicuis are
allowed to tryout, providing they do
not "get the hook." "Gloria" the girl
with the bonfire head and "Rosalie,"
the song bird completed the bill.
Senior Girls Notice
All senior girls are
asked to meet at ' the
Armory tonight, May 7,
at 8 o'clock, to practice
the songs for the campus
Ivy Day program.

The work of this company In both
close order and skirmish work was
not only a surprise o those who have
been keeping in touch with the mili

some to be almost perfection. Out of
a possible 660 points, the company's
score was 590, a margin of 30 points

In spite of having had changes In
captaincies twice this year, the last
change two weeks before compet, the
machine-like precision with which

coln assumed the lead after the second
event, and managed to stay from three
to eight potnts In the front of Omaha,
their nearest rival, throughout the
meet.
Gothenberg, winner of last year's
classic, fell below expectations, when
It dropped to poor third, and the twen
ty points she scored were due largely
to the stellar work of "Red" Layton.

twelve points, which placed his school
In fourth place. Fremont, Stanton,
Ravenna, Albion and Falls City
brought up the rear In the order
named.
Three Nebraska high school records
were shattered during the afternoon.

from the former high hurdle record
when he dashed over the barriers In
16 3-5 seconds; FItzimmons put Fre
mont in the limelight when he nego
tiated the 440 in 54 3-5 seconds, which
lowered Vreeland's 1908 mark by one
fifth of a second. Dusky Nichols of
Lincoln sprinted to the tape for a new
mile record of 4.41.
Gish Individual Star
Herbert Gish of Lincoln was the In
dividual point winner of the meet, with
a total of 17 points to his credit.
Gish finished ahead in both the hurdles,
captured first in the broad Jump and
tied for second in the high Jump. Gene
Noble, the metropolitan speedster, an
nexed 13 points to his school's credit
by winning first in the 100-yard dash
and high Jump, and taking second In
the 220-yard dash. Layton was able
to muster only 12 points. He romped
off with the 220-yard dash for his only
gold medal, while seconds was the
best he could do In the high hurdles
and 100-yard dash.
The sensational race of the day was
the mile battle between Nichols of
Lincoln and Nelson of Omaha, which
the dusky lad won by a few feet. Nel
son led the field up to the home stretch

raced neck and neck for the tape. At

Tap Black Masques and Innocents
Schembeck's Jazz Phlends
The Interest of the afternoon Is cen
tered onrthe tapping of the Innocents
and Black Masques, which will take
place after the Bhow In the movie
house. Thirteen men are chosen from
the Junior class by the Innocents, who
now are all seniors, to comprise the
personnel of that honorary fraternity
next year. Dressed in long flowing
robes, the old members scatter through
the crowd and pick out the pledges
who are to be tapped. "Tapping" Is
hardly a suitable word by which to
describe the ceremony, however, for
with one mighty blow the victim Is
slapped on the back and thereby Is ad
mitted to the sacred union. The blow
Is hardly felt, for he Is usually over
come with the great honor.
Tapping the- thirteen women for
Black Masque Is on the same order
but much less violent. They are picked
out and tapped on the shoulder, but
the blow is never very Injurious to tb
candidate.
Tickets for tne picnic supper, which
is next In the order of the day, are to
eo on sale today. They may be pur
chased for 30 cents from D wight Thom
as, Chester Grau, Roger Jenkins, Joe

to furnish the syncopation for danc
ing after supper. The dancing pavilion
will be all decked out In holiday attire
and the Joy will be unrefined.
The Traction Company will furnish
car service to the Beach, but as there
is a limit to all things, there will be
a last car, and when that pulls into the
station, the dancing will in all prob
ability stop.
The regular admission of 10 cents
will be charged at the entrance to the
Beach.

ward the little canine when it came
slinking up to her, and she gathered it
in her arms and told the dog catcher
he couldn't have her puppy and that
he ought to be ashamed of himself for
being so cruel to dumb animals. She

crt and send It to her horn fn
Council Bluffs, bo Bhe can have it for
her playmate this summer.
