PRICE S CENTS
FINAL PLAY OF
SEASON GIVEN
Last Production for Thu Year,
"The Devil's Disciple,"
Is Success.
AUDIENCE THURSDAY
NIGHT APPRECIATIVE
The final offering of the Univer
sity Players for the present college
year, "The Devil's Disciple," by Ber
nard Shaw, was presented to an ap
preciative audience Thursday eve
ning at the Temple Theater.
The blemishes of hypocrisy and the
fine nature of the man judged by the
hypocrites are brought out in excel
lent manner, both by the play and by
the players. Motivation in the plot
is subtle, effective, and entirely lack
ing in obviosity. Delineation of
character, mood, emotion and action
is at no time affected or unreal. '
Herbert Yenne, "Devil's Disciple"
according to his own notion and ad
mission, as Richard Dudgeon, the
smuggling, poaching, black-sheep son,
thought by his relatives to be entirely
lacking in worth-while characterist
ics, gradually swings the Sympathy of
the audience to realization of the
true fineness and firmness of his
character. Surrounded by those he
had thought were the best of the re
ligious classes, the most strict Puri
tan in action, yet whom he knew to
be of evil tendencies in spite of their
protestations of religious ardor, he
rebels against their kind of life. He
is shunned by all.
Background I Historical.
He lives his life, which is incident
ally presented in a correct historical
background, until his chance to live
the kind of life he has dreamed of
comes. He can sacrifice for a cause
that is just. He is taken to be
hanged, but he goes in the place of
the minister.
Soldiers of Major Swindon's army
have been making examples of the
finest men in the land, and he is to
be made the example for his com
munity by a cruel mockery of fate.
He is saved by the return of the min
ister, who has come to realization of
his own hypocrisy. The true char
acter of the individuals tomes to
light, and the play ends in a settled
way except for clarity In he rela
tions of Dick Dudgeon and Judith
Anderson, the minister's wife, played
by Dolores Bosse.
Major Swindon, played by Harold
Sumption, and General Burgoyne,
Oarrell Starnes, carry the weight of
the third act in a manner that ef
fectively supports the leading parts.
Essia and Christy, plsyed by Pauline
Gellatly and Ray Ramsey, furnish ex
cellent opportunities for fine work
that are taken advantage of in an
understanding manner.
Announce Ticket Sale.
Announcement was made that sea
son tickets for the seven performanc
es to be given next year will go on
sale March 31. The same price will

LECTURE GIVEN
BY FRANKFORTER
Names of Men Selected for Phi
Lambda Epsilon Also An
nounced in Meeting.
At the open meeting of Phi Lamb
da Epsilon, honorary chemistry fra
ternity, last evening in .Chemistry
Hall, Professor C. J. Frankforter lec
tured on "The Manufacture and Use
of Explosives." The lecture was well
attended by the public. The meeting
was opened by R. W. Maxwell, presi-
dnt of the fraternity, who explained
the purpose of the meeting which was
to announce the names of the stu
dents elected to membership for this
year.
The six men elected to member
ship are Ernest G. Almy, Donald J.
Loder, George M. Bahrt, Elmer E.
Fleck, Royce H. LeRoy, and Henry S.
Stubblefield. The requirements for
membership in the frsternity are
high scholarship standings.
Professor Frankforter explained
that the field of explosives was far
too extensive to cover completely in
an evening so he selected only the
most interesting parts of the subject.
He first gave a short resume of the
history of gunpowder telling of the
discovery by the Chinese in ancient
times. Gunpowder was first usea in
warfare and it was not until rtcent
times that its use in the fields of in
dustry was discovered. Very little
was done toward the advancement of
explosives until 1860. The basic
principles in the msnufacture of gun
powder have changed greatly since
this time but the materials remain the
same.
"There are two classes of explos
ives," said Professor Franklorter,
"low explosives acting slowly in com
parison to high explosives such at ni
troglycerin and T. N. T."
The uses of explosives are variea.
Dynamite may be used in a great
number of way; the principle uses
are in mining, quarrying and the
clearing of land. The kind of explos
ive used and the method of placing
the charge is determined to a great
extent by the character of the work
to be accomplished. In coal mining
it is necessary to use an expiosiv
that will break the coal up into fine
pieces and that will not give off any
amount of poisonous gases.
The lecture was illustrated oy a
number of experiments showing the
explosive powers of different pow
ders and by two reels of films. The
films were donsted by the Industrial
Department of the Y. M. C. A. and
by the Schilles Powder Compsny.
Violations of the basing rules at
the University f Minnesota are
punishable by Indefinite suspension
or expulsion from school.

Captain Everett Crites of the team
and Coach "Indian" Schulte have

the station before the train pulls
out. There will be no parade to the
station. The University Band will be
present and play selections as at
former rallies.
Twenty-two men will be taken on
this trip, the first long one of the
year. It is not known yet who they
will be, but that will be decided at
the final tryouts Saturday afternoon.
"We don't know how long we will
be gone, "Coach Schulte said yester
day, "but we will probably be back
the following week-end, after we
have kept out two engagements."
Because of the weather yesterday,
few men were working out. Those

WILL SHOW UOVID
IN COiNYOCATION
'The Single Ridge" to Be
Screened Before Engineers
in Regular Meeting.
"The Single Ridge" is the title of
the three-reel moving picture on the
manufacture of insulated wires and
cables which will be shown at the
regular College of Engineering con
vocation at 10 o'clock today in Me
chanical Engineering 206. Prof.
Clarke E. Mickey, chairman of the
department of civil engineering, will
deliver the accompanying lecture.
The film is sent out by the Okonite
Company of New York.
The gathering and treatment of
rubber will be depicted in the film,
the drawing and treatment of the .
copper wire, and the two methods of
applying the compound. This is usu
ally done by the "tubing" or "spew
ering" process. The Okonite meth
od, on the other hand, is that of
wrapping the compound around the
copper conductor before vulcanis
ing.
' Other features to be shown are
the tensile strength test of insula
tion after vulcanizing, and the con
ductivity test of the completed pro
duct. The purpose and the results
of the vulcanizing process are also
set forth in the -film. Various types
snd purposes of the outer covering
sre included in the illustrated expo
sition. The ordinary covering is of
braided silk, cotton, or steel wire.
The processes of wrapping with steel
tape and sheathing with a lead cover
undr hydraulic pressure, and final
ly, armoring with steel wire, will be
shown.
