That's what the management of the Lyric Theater decided to do with the "Gorilla." This play has caused an unprecendet ulir in Lincoln and for the first time on record a stock production is to be held for a second week. Remember, this is in Lincoln not Chicago. The stark chill of the play brings screams from the fem inine members of the audience that can be heard for blocks, and if it were not for the uproarious antics of the two detectives, Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Garrity, there would be not tell ing just how intense the thing would get However, they put in a comedy touch and spread it on with alavish brush of good humor. As for the gorilla, himself, he manages to step up the heart beats of the audiences in such a fashion that the audiences scream in the same excess that they they roar with laughter. Johnny Hines has been everything from the wearer of a brown derby to a nut race track driver. But this time the producers let him take a different role. This time he is a shoe clerk with a bad memory and a slick tongue. He lost his position try ing to prove where the cloth goes from a hole in the stocking and hired out as a guide for a party of tourists in the far East. Then he didn't have any better judgment than to fall in love with the daughter of his employer. To start things moving, when they came to the Saharah, a sheik who had to marry the fat Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the feature is Paramount Picture - - - "The phone Girl" With wonderful cast including Madge Bellamy, Holbrook Blinn, ' Warner Baxter, May Allison, Law rence Gray, Hale Hamilton and others.

ALL WEEK TEE daughter of a neighboring tribe, sold Johnny his garb and managed things so that Sheik Hines was the groom at the wedding. Meantime the fair beauty had been captured and Johnny has to go through a sand storm and rescue her. But that didn't help things any, he still had his heavy bride. How he switched women is the secret of the comedy. Whoopee! the Injuns are coming, such is the "Overland Stage," at the Colonial. Way up in North Dakota, a long time ago there was a heap bad man, who wanted to keep all the pale faces away so that he could sell fire water to the injuns and grow heap rich. But the kind fate that guards all stage companies, sent a bold, brave handsome, he-man scout out to see why the injuns were always taking target practice at their stage drivers. Conditions were becoming as bad as they were in Chicago and something had to be did. Then the director had a rival store keeper lo cate in the territory, and bring his good looking daughter along. ' Both the bad man and the curly headed hero sought to win the heart and hand of the beautiful one. The vil lian was repulsed and staged an In dian raid to show his disapproval and in the following fight he was anniah- lated, and, well go to the Colonial and see the rest for yourself. "Hello, this is the "Telephone Op erator," at the Rialto the first half, about a politician who did some very unwise things and then when he ran for governor, his opponents were go ing to use his past life as blackmail. But the big reason they couldn't was because they did not know the wo man in the case. But I knew the number that was always called. I was in love with the nominee's son, but his mother couldn't see me for the switchboard. Anyway, the de tectives started grilling me for in formation and then, number please. Awfully sorry, but am so busy that you will have to see me at the Rialto if you wish to know the rest of the story." The Liberty's tretrt this week for th. first half is opened with the Bird Cabaret, a number of feathered song sters. Then Joe Geiger makes , his talking violin perform a number of feats. Walt and Betty Burke do a few songs, some jokes and a number of steps. "Gibson's Navigators" is feminine band, which Cooks should be using to make traveling popular.

T O t WEEK APRIL 17 DAILY NEBRASKAN Miss Compton Discusses Library (Continued from Page One ) that at least elbows will not touch while you work, that your books and the next man's will not crowd each other, beautiful room if possible, but at least room. Our present reading room seats 215. The reading rooms which we hope to arrange for in the former Fine Arts rooms will reieve this condition a great deal, but not sufficiently." The assistant librariian said that a university library should provide suf ficient and sufficiently skilled serv ice to give to faculty and students quickly and efficiently all the assist ance they need. Desires Easy Access to Book "The library should give opportun ity, too for every student to indulge or to acquire a taste for books and ready. Very few Nebraska students have had access to a large library be fore coming to the university. There are only a few large public or good high school libraries as yet in this state. The library is the laboratory for many university courses, history, economics, education, literature: it should also be a sort of experiment station for every student, a place where he would be tempted to try out all kinds of books, until he could learn which have the greatest appeal for him individually, until he could form the fire individually, until he could form the friendships with books which may become the most treasured of college memories. For this there should be a large open shelf collec tion, near to, or perhaps about the walls of the main reading room and there should also be a "browsing room," a collection of the best books of all ages, and languages. "Stretching ourselves out in the space just acquired will bo a great relief but we -shall not be able to shake out nearly all the folds and wrinkles that have grown into our system through all these years of crowding," Miss Compton said. Library is Friuimily Fur Reference "Whiile the library is, as has been said, primarily a reference library built up for the use of the faculty and students of the university in their university work, this statement must not be taken to mean that there are no books to interest the general reader or to tempt him to browse among the shelves. Most of the best literature of all the world in all ages is here: books on all the sociologic and economic problems of the day. Students are prone to confine their college reading to the work assigned by their professors, and professors often find little time for books not on their one particular subject, so that a certain typo of excursive read ing in the University library has been largely missing, greatly to the regret of those who know its wealth of books." Many Request For Information "The use of the library as a work ing and reference collection of books has always been gratifying," the speaker told the audience. "In addi tion to assigned and required reading, there is a very large use of the li brary by students in preparing pa pers and debates, and in looking up all sorts of subjects or momentary or permanent interest, while from out side the University come many re quests for information and assist ance." "Probably few people even in the University itself realize the worth of this library to the University and to the state. ' It is the largest and by ifar the most valuable collection of I books in Nebraska. The books have been most carefully chosen for their value as a working collection, and there are few subjects upon which it does not contain good material.

Much more of service that it would like to give, must be withheld in its present inadeqquate quarters and with its small staff of workers, but the foundations have been well laid, the growth has een carefully guided and when the opportunity comes, the larger service will be given." ALLISON STATES "Y" ACTIVITIES tion with the Council of Religious Workers on the Campus, been able f Viini snmo vprv noted sneakers to the University. Mr. Allison stated that these are merely the tangible things that can be pointed to, "while the real work of the "Y" has been in the personal contacts and personal discussions that have taken place among those associated in the work. If only for-i mal activities had been put on the work would have amounted to r.oth-i ing. He feels that if a few students , have been encouraged to think about ! life, its meaning and their place in it, then something of real and lusting j worth will have been accomplished. World education and religion are what the Y. M. C. A. is striving for, he declared. Hunt Outline Plan Joe M. Hunt, president-elect of the "Y" at this time made a brief statement as to a plan for develop ing the program for the coming year based upon a study of the situation rather than on a following of prece dent. Mr. Hays gave a short report on the financial standing of the organi zation and mentioned especially the hearty cooperation received from the alumni in Omaha and other cities of the state. The matter of University Virjht was discussed and a committee was appointed consisting of Dean Sea lock, Joe M. Hunt, and the d'aiinmu of the board and general secretary to confer with the faculty committee on student activities on the matter. Retiring members of the board according to the constitution are: Prof. O. R. Martin, Dean W. E. Sea- lock, Prof. J. 0. Rankin, Prof. It. J. Pool, Mr. Harold Holtz, and Mr. W. Edgar Gates. The place of these men will be filled through election at a joint meeting of the retiring student cabinet and the new student cabinet. PHI SIG OFFICER MAKES VISIT Vice-President Entertained During Stay at Local Chapter J. A. Barger of Detroit,, Michigan, regional vice-president of Phi Sigma Kappa, was in Lincoln on a visit to the local chapter Saturday and Sun day.

Wake : Now we want to get busy and get some good candidates. Well clean up right. Nominations for se nior president aro in order. (Wright, Kern, and West jump to feet.) All three: Mr. Chairman 1 (Wake recognizes Wright.) Wright: Gentlemen, I rise to nom inate a man who has been more often a candidate than any other in school. Seldom has he got beyond the faction caucus; but he has always stood ready to carry the banner of our party in battle. Gentlemen, you have been promising Tau Kappa Epsilon an off ice for years, since 1832, in fact. That my friends, was an illustrious year; for in 1832 a Teke was secre tary of the sophomore class. But the time has com, my friends, for our merit to be recognized again. I wish to nominate a man who is widely known and is one of, the leaders in the law college, Franklin F. Yearsley. Kern: Mr. Chairman. (Wake rec ognizes him.) Kern: I rise to nominate a man who can be more easily elected than any other man you can nominate. Since baseball has been eliminated he hasn't had much chance to show his stuff, but he is a true and loyal Corn husker just the same. He has the in terests of tha University at heart, and what is more important, he has the interests of this faction at heart. Above all, Gentlemen, he is a mem-! hr of the student council and you know what that means 1 Gentlemen, if you nominate this man, you won't even have to go to the polls to elect him he'll elect himself. I take great pleasure in nominating Erwin Do meier. West: Mr. Chairman. (He is rec ognized.) West: Mr. President, Kenny Cook was supposed to come here tonight but was unable to come, so IH have to speak for him. Here's the speech he gave me to read. (Reads.) "Gentlemen, I rise to nominate a man who would make a fitting leader for this great senior class of ours. He is a man whom absolutely every one knows. He has been m the thick of activities since that glorious Sep tember day when he first set foot on our campus. I quote from the Corn- husker: Phi Sigma Kappa, Vikings president; Cornhusker staff, 2; asso- siate editor, 3; Phi Tau Theta; Pi Epislon Pi; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, 2, 3; Daily Nebraskan, 2; contributing ed itor, 3 ; N Book and student directory, manager, 3 ; Uni Players season ticket drive, 3 ; University Night committee, 2: business manager, 3. Since that time, gentlemen, he has become busi ness manager of The Prairie Schoon er some of you may have heard of that publication and a member of Sigma Upsilon. He is chairman of the University night committee this year. 1 wish to nominate v. itoyce West. (Cheers.) Wake: I hate to do this, beings that I am chairman, but we have such a promising candidate over at the Sig Chi house that I feel his name must be brought before you. He has not been in so many activities, but that does not mean that he is not well-known. He is plump, blonde, and has curly hair, so he ought to pull a lot of sorority votes. He has achieved great fame as a female im personator, as all who saw the Kos met show will testify. I take great pleasure in nominating the logical man for the senior presidency, Rich ard Brown. (Pause) If there, are no more nominations we will procede to vote. Candidates are Yearsley, Domeier, West, and Brown. The secretary will ce'lect the ballots. (He and Morton count the votes and an nounce the results Yearsley, 3; Do meier, 4; Brown, 6; West, 0.) Wake: Dick Brown is our candi date for the senior presidency. (West sulks in his chair. Wake sees him and calls Morton over, into the cor ner.) Wake (to Morton, aside) : Say, Morton, West's getting sore. The Phi Sigs are likely to go over to the other side. Morton: Let's give him the posi tion of sergeant-at-arms of the senior class. Wake: That's a good idea. (Goes ove to West.) Royce, well see that you're elected sergeant-at-arms. West (happy again) : That's fine. Wake: We will now consider 'nom inations for the position of president of the junior class. Everyone (rising and shoutmg at once) : Mr. Chairman, I wish to nominate a man who (Curtain) Selling milk is one of the profitable means of earning one's living at the Texas Technical College.
