KOSMET KLUB SCORES AGAIN Tut Tut," 192S Production, Well Received by Lincoln and Omaha Audiences. CLEVER LINES AND SONGS FEATURE SHOW "Tut Tut," the Kosmet Klub's 1925 production, which was presented be fore well filled houses at the Orph- eum Friday night and at the Bran deis in Omaha on Saturday night, was a distinct success. With a capable cast and chorus of University students, clever lines, and catchy songs, it was judged the most succesful in Kosmet history Members of the cast were called back for encores at both performances. Cyril L. Combs, is the author and director of the show. Every member of the cast acquit ted himself favorably. Especially clever was Orville Andrews as Luci fer, the black-faced servant of Pro fessor Wherishe, and Harold Sump tion as the professor himself. Fran ces McChesney as Prunella Wher ishe also did well in her love affair with Judge DeCision impersonated by Clayton Goar. Harriet Cruise and Dwight Merri- am as the two lovers, Mary Ann and Lieutenant Ogden had several solos and -duets which were well received Dietrich Dierks as King Tutankha men surprised Lucifer and the pro fessor by ascending from his tomb bby a song by his mummy chorus of ten girls singing "Tut-Tut-Tutank-hamen." Apache Dance Colorful The Apache dance placed in a street scene in Port Said and pre sented by TCatherine Saylor and Ralph Ireland, was one of the most colorful and unusual numbers of the performance and added considerable variety. The comedy opens in the country home of Professor Wherishe where a guests sing several songs in which two quartets have a prominent part. Doctor Layman, taken by Sutton Morris, prescribed a trip to Egypt for Professor Wherishe who has dig ging tendencies, annoying to his wife and daughter. The second scene was on board the ship "The Acrobatic" where Orr Goodson, as the captain, Lucifer, and the pony chorus had important mes sages. The sailor chorus and dance was the hit of the scene. Arriving in Egypt and Cairo the scenery was oriental in character. The bazaar set was emphasized, by tents, a mosque, and ladies of' the desert. Ward Wray sang "Cairo" one of the feature songs of the play. Lucifer and Professor Wherishe had an interesting time with their burro, purchased from the natives. Amusing Scan ia Tomb Perhaps the most amusing scene took place within Tut Tut's tomb, when a mummy chorus featuring the song, "Tut Tut Tutankhamen," prov ed to be one of the outstanding num bers. The last scene was again in Cairo. The professor was cured, principally by his trouble with the desert fleas which caused him endless misery. The story ended happily with Mary Ann and Lieutenant Ogden united and the Judge and Prunella together. The members of the Klub and cast were entertained by Phi Rho Sigma, medical fraternity, at a house dance Saturday after the show. Alumni of the University and others in Omaha helped to make the third annual trip there a success. The scenery, designed and painted by Dwight Kirsh, gave a delightful suggestion of pageantry to the pro duction. Orchestrations and special arrangements were by August Diets, and dances were-directed by Herbert Yenne and Ralph Ireland. Music and lyrics were prepared by Mr. Coombs with the collaboration of his wife, Irma Wolfe Coombs. The or chestra was under the direction of William Quick and the pianist was Rosanna Williams.

In the fourth frame, however, the Acacias tied the score and in the sixth, chalked up another point. Three runs in the last inning settled the game for the win ners. The score was 11 to 8. . The P. A. D.-Sigma Phi Epsilon match was unexpectedly one sided, the Sig Eps winning by a score of 15 to 2. The Hoffman-Raun battery for the winners was especially effective and let the lawyers down with few hits. The Sig Eps took the lead and the game in the first inning, scoring nine counters in that frame to one for the P. A. Ds. A closely played game was the Phi Gamma Delta-Delta Sigma Delta con test.

Farmers9 ti ll ill': A Farmers' Fair without a parade would be like a dragon without a tail. Dragons in story books were not made that way and neither are Farmers' Fairs.

BUILD WIRE FENCE AROUND AG CAMPUS Farmers' Fair Committees Pre paring for Big Celebra tion Saturday. There was great activity at the campus of the College of Agriculture all day Saturday.

The construc tion gang consisted of a large num ber of Ag students. The fence is built to prevent any one from entering the Fair grounds without first having paid admission. The northeast corner of the campus will also be surrounded by a high fence this year as it is estimated t'.iat more than a thousand persons entered here last year without pay- inc admission. , There will probably, .be more ade quate facilities for the parking of automobiles this year than at any previous Fair.
