expressed the hope of some day
equipping the coliseum with a full
size kitcbea which will enable such
gatherings to be held there.

Take Leads.
PLAY OPENSJJEXT WEEK
Herbert Yenne. Walter Vogt
Betty Craft, and Cornelia Ayres
havo been selected to portray the
leading roles in the third produc
tion of the season. "Lady Winder
mere's Fan" to be offered by the
University Players at the Temple
theater from Dec. 13 to 19 inclu
sive. Mr. Yenne will take the part of
Lord Windermere, a very virtu
ous, dignified English gentleman.
This role will be an extreme con
trast to the one Mr. Yenne first
appeared in this season in "The
Royal Family" where he was the
boisterous, irratic devil-may-care
son of a theatrical family.
Miss Craft will appear as
Lady Windermere, the beutiful and
Irreproachable wife of Lord Win
dermere who despite all her vir
tute" allow Jealousy to enter in
and almost wreck ber entire life.
Miss Craft won recognition last
year by her excellent acting in the
Shakespearian offering of the
players, A Mid-Summer Night's
Dream."
Vogt Vlllian.
Mr. Vogt w-as also a member of
the cast of "A Mid-Summer
Night's Dream." He assumes the
mildly villianous part of Lord
Darlington in the coming produc
tion. This gentleman who con
siders being good a bore and being
bad a virtue tries to entice Lady
Windermere away from her bus
band. Cornelia Ayres having demon
strated ber acting ability in lead
ing parts in "The Outsider." and
"He and She." has been given the
task of portraying Mrs. Erlynne in
"Lady Windermere's Fan." Mrs.
Erlynne is the irresistable widow
with a past and a future. The
men flock to her, and even the
perfect Lord Windermere is seen
with her constantly.
Oscar Wilde, the author of this
four act comedy, has proved his
dramatic ability in this play. He
is a master in the technique of
arousing suspence, and can hold
the Interest of his audience
throughout. The play abounds in
extremely clever sayings and in
tensely embarrassing situations.
Mr. Wilde seems to have use for
society. He places himself defintely
on the side of the sinner. He
seems to believe the philosophy
which be once puts into the mouth
of one of his characters when that
individual exclaimed in comparing
sinners and saints. "Stints have a
part, but sinners have a future!"
