Players Show Finish and Skill
in Presentation of "You and I"
"You and I," presented by the Uni
versity Players last evening, was a
most delightful comedy drawn with
a skill that characterizes the work
of the - local players. The Temple
theater was filled to overf'owing
long before the play began and 1 un
dred were turned away. Ihe play
will be given again this evening at
8 o'clock.
No one character was pictured with
an outstanding skill, but Gertrude
Moran taking the part of Etta, the
Whites' maid, rendered a truly twen
tieth century version of a ia:.d.
"Etta" added much humor to the
play in the scene where she attempted
to live the part of the "lady" as whom
she had posed for the portrait. Mary
Yabroff , as Nancy White, the mother,
felt her part more than the other
players and expressed that f eeling in
her acting. Roderick White, the son,
played by Harold Felton, added much
life and vivacity. Dwight Mernam
as the father, gave a realistic inter
pretation of the dissatisfied business
man.
Following is a resume of the com
edy: Roderick White, a young architect
just out of Harvard, falls in love
with Veronica Duane, a friend of the
Whites. Roderick gives up his plans
to go to Paris to study because of his
infatuation for "Ronny." His par
ents try to dissaude him but he is ob
durate.
Roderick's father has given up his

Six Members Unable to Take
Part in Illinois Relay at
Urbana.
IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN
MEDLEY THIS YEAR
Hard luck has cut the list of Hus-
ker track men who will make the
trip to the Illinois relays to a small
count, and has weakened the team
making the trip. The squad will
leave for Urbana over the Burling
ton today, by the way of Omaha.
Rhodes, with a sprained ankle
received in workouts last Saturday,
will not be able to make the trip.
Captain Maurice Gardner has not yet
fully recovered from an attack of
appendicitis. His absence in the mile
with that of Zimmerman, who'
undergoes an operation for bad ton
sils today, makes it impossible to
enter the medley race that Nebraska
won last year.
Hartman, star shot-putter for the
Huskers, may not be able to go on
account of the death of his brother.'
Locke, Bloodgood, and Trexler will
not make the trip because they did
not get themselves in shape.
Six or ' seven men will make the
trip according to Coach Schulte. The
mile relay team has been chosen, but
the other men to go are not picked
as yet. Crites, Layton, Whipper
man, and Scherich have been chosen
for this race. "Hob" Turner will no
doubt make the trip as Nebraska's
high jumper, and Ed Weir will repre
sent the Huskers in the hurdles, and
perhaps the pentathalon events.
Davis, pole vaulter, will make the
trip.

Will Take Officers'
0
Photos During Drill
Owing to the fact that some of
the officers failed to appear at the
hours stated for the taking of the
pictures, the arrangement, has now
been changed so that they will be
taken at some time during the drill
period.
No pictures will be taken this
noon. Instead the cadet officers
will be given a brief recess during
the class period to go to the campus
studio. This will assure the Corn
husker of every cadet appearing in
uniform with the group picture of
officers.
Starting with Headquarters com
pany next Monday, company pictures
will be taken throughout the week,
the Cornhusker office stated yester
day. Arts, said yesterday. Some of the
more noted painters who have ex
hibits in this collection are Jonas Lie,
Robert Henri, and William Ritschel.
The twenty-five pictures from
France are all works of Victor Char
reton, a noted French painter, whose
characteristic works are portrayals
of light and who is known as a "lum
inist". Twenty-nine pictures from the
National Gallery of Art, Washing
ton, D. C, represent examples of the
older painters whose works are not
as modern as those of the other ex
hibits. These are being sent back
to the National Gallery today.
All of the pictures are for Bale ex
cept those from the National Gallery.
Their total value is estimated by
Professor Grummann at $150,000.
