Held over.
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,

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.
The Stratford Comedy do a sKit
called "Fun in A School Room," it
even sounds funny. The Sie Tahar
Company are Russian dancers.

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. The

library serves the whole University as
does not other single department,
coming in touch at aome point with
every student and every professor.
Much more of service that it would
like to give, must be withheld in its
present inadeqquate quarters and

the foundations have been well laid,
the growth has een carefully guided

tion with the Council of Religious
Workers on the Campus, been able

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.

(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.
