THE D A I L Y NE BRAS KAN
"The Bat" Comes To The
Orpheum Early This Week
Wagenhals and Kemper, two of the
most successful theatrical managers
In the country, bring the great drn
matic success, "The Bat", by Mary
Roberts Riuehart and Avery Hopwood
to the Orpheum theater on Monday
and Tuesday, March 13 and 14.
"The Bat," which is thrilling, mys
terious and at the same time scream
ingly funny, stands out sharp and
clear among all dramatic plays of
fered during the past generation. At
the present time, "The Bat" is iu its
second year at the Morosco theater,
New York and in addition, another
company, with a run of one ycai at
Chicago, broke all records for pop
ularity in that city. On its present
triumphant tour, "The uat" has play
ed to absolute capacity iu every city
in which it has appeared and there
is every indication that its perform
ances in this city will establish new
records for the Orpheum theater.
Just what "The Bat" is all about
that s a secret. In fact, wherever
"The Bat" has been played, the au
dience and critics are earnestly re
quested not to disclose the secret
of the story and they never do. Suf
fice to say, it is one thrill after an
other, interspersed with countless
laughs.
Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery
Hopwood, (co-authors of "The Bat'
are two of the most successful play
wrights in America today. In fact, the
record of their collaborations fail to
show a single failure. Their first
play, years ago, was "Seven Days
Great as was its success, however,
"The Bat" has far surpassed it.
Wagenhals and Kemper prisent
"The Bat" in identically tli3 same
manner as it is being given in New
York and the cast is exceptionally
strong.
FIRST GALL OUT SOON
FOR DIAMOND PLAYERS
Coach Dawson to Call Men To
gethcr for First Meeting in
Armory Soon.
One swallow and a call for bass ball
players is generally conceded to in
dicate the advent of spring and Coach
Dawson announced Tuesday (list pit
chers and catchers will begin warming
up the old "soupers" next Monday.
As soon as the armory gymnasium
is available, which will be w-V.iin a
week, Coach Dawson intends issuing
the general call for all exponents of
the national pastime.
"The weather must be taken into
consideration in this country and I
don't want to start the boys outside
and then have to bring them in again,"
Coach Dawson said in explaining his
reason for delaying the general call.
Captain McCrory . has been scout
ing for material and with several Vet
erans in th lineup he believes Ne

University of California The de

place the California Memorial Sta
dium in Strawberry canyon will not
be reconsidered. The fact that the
Regents hare made first payment on
all necessary lands is given ag the
reason. The purchase will amount to
$ 175.0(H).

Reports that Wall Street is driving
its employees into action against the
soldier's compensation bill have
reached headquarters of the American
Legion. One Stock Exchange firm,
the Legion asserts, assisted its
workers in groups and gave them no
tice that each man and woman was
expected to prepare four letters ex
pressing disapproval of the bonus bill
two to be sent to the writer's rp
presentatives in the Senate, one to
the Congressman representing his dis
trict, and one to President Harding.
The mandatory order issued by this
concern, the report states included a
suggested form to be folowed in writ
ing the letters. Exsoidiers were to
state that they were writing "as ex-
service men opposed" to the adjusted
Compensation bill. An implied pen
alty for refusing to comply with the
order was discharge.
The U. S. Chamber of Commerce i
lined up with Wall Street against the
bonus, the Legion reports; but con
stituent bodies in widely separated
parts of the country have declared
flatly in favor of compensation. In !
Omaha, Battle Creek. Mich., Lake
Charles, La., and in several cities in I
Oklahoma and Ohio, commerce cham
bers have voted counter to the stand
of the national body. A questionnaire
has been sent to ail commerce boards
by the U. S. Chamber, and in Toledo,
following a hearing by the American
Legion, business men of the local
board refused to vote on the question,
charging that it had not been impar
tially presented. They stated that a
vote had been asked on the cash and
the insurance options, ignoring the
three other provisions of the bill.
In Marion, O., home of President
Harding, the commerce chamber de
clared in favor of compensation.
The board of directors of the Lin
coln Chamber, after hearing Com
mander Bernard G. Westover speak
in defense of the justice and need of
the bill and hold the questionnaire
did not cover the actual questions in
volved, decided to take no action on
the matter.
Margaret Black, '23, spent last we-k

friends.
Nebraska, as a friend of the supreme
court, has filed a brief in support of
the constitutionality of the Btatute,
Eleven of the leading law firms in ..he
state sign the brief. They are Pitzcr,
Clino and Tyler, Robert O. Simmons
Brogan, Elllck and Raymond, Fred W
Ashton, Sackett and Brewster, Kd
ward P. McDermott, Holmes, Cham
bors and Mann, T. J. McGuire, Hast
ings, Ritchie, Mantz and Cannaday
Spillman and Muffley and Mothers
head and York.
In supporting the Legion's position
i the case, the brief asserts that dur
Ing the war "many who were born in
this country and reared in foreign
settlements were Incapable of render
ing efficient service because of in-
familiarity with our language. They
were unable to understand the true
purposes of our government because
their information was gathered i.e
ly from foreign language newspapers
and foreign speaking propagandists,
whose sympathies were not with this
country."
The Legion attorneys vigorously
take issue with the contention that
the law infringes on religious free
dom. The other side has injected the
subject of religion into the discussion
merely to defeat the measure, they
say, and insist that the enforcement
of the Reed-Norval act does not inter
fere with the religious instruction of
any children in the state. They point
out, in addition, that the supreme
court recently decided this point in
the Meyer case. "We have never
heard," they say, "that the Omni
potent is better acquainted with one
anguage than another."
They say that the opinion in the
Meyer case disposed of all of the con
troverted points save that over sec
tion 4, and this does not forbid the
use of foreign languages, but dis
crimination against the use of Eng
lish. This section forbids any organi
zation, social, religious or commer
cial, to forbid the use of English in
any meeting, school of proceeding.
and for any officer, director, member
or persons in authority to pass, pro
mulgate, connive at, publish, enforce
or attempt to enforce any such pro
hibition or discrimination.
Is the right to study foreign lan
guages in the schools so sacred, tiny
ask, that no circumstance of public
welfare can require regulation of it.
There is nothing so sacred ab.iut a
foreign tongue as to place it above
legislative control.
The only question, according to the
Legion brief, which can be urged
seriously is whether the law is a
proper exercise of the police power of
the state. "We believe that under
the facts as they existed when this
law was passed and as they still exist,
the legislature was amply justified
... in the passage of this law."
