ALL THIS WEEK
G. Walter Vogt Plays Part
Of Husband; Gestures
Are Realistic.
COMMENT IS FAVORABLE
Jcrc Mickcl Takes Rclc of
Modern Son; Falls
In Love.
Gwen Thiza Fay displays un
usual acting ability In her presen
tation of the role of Madame Lisa
Delia Robbia, the temperamental
prima donna In "Enter Madame"
which is being given by the Uni
versity Players at the Temple
theater this week.
Mlsa Fay who speaks Italian
phrases with the rapidity and ease
of a native la very convincing In
her part. With her dark bair and
coloring she looks the part, and
her voice which she raises and
lowers frequently add to the valid
ity of her characterization.
Miss Fay la ably assisted by G.
Walter Vogt who Is cast as her
husband. Gerald Fitzgerald. Mr.
Vogt who has received much fa
vorable comment in the numerous
other parts In which he has played
during the year, upholds his
standard in "Enter Madame." His
gestures and facial expressions
are both natural and realistic. Mr.
Vogt seems to be in his right ele
ment in emotional roles.
Jere Mickle, as the son John,
of this unusual family, is also a
favorite. Mr. Mickle typifies the
current impression of the modern
college boy who thinks his family
is a responsibility to him rather
than that he is one to them. He
is supposed to be in love with
Aline Chalmers, played by Ger
trude Sullivan, but unlike his emo
tional mother, he is very calm and
collected about it.
Other members of the cast are:
Prudence Brown as Mrs. Flora
Preston, the widow who almost
wins Gerald Fitzgerald away from
his wife; Paul Miller as Mr. Fitz
gerald's servant; Valerie Worrell
as Madame's personal maid; Ed
win Quinn as Archlmede, ma
dame's Italian. chef;. Paul Thomp
son as her doctor; and Eleanor
Foley as her secretary, Miss
Smith.
The action of the play takes
place in a bachelor's apartment in

Hiking Long Distances Is Professor
Gass' Hobby and Choice Recreation
By MARGARET TINLEY.
"WouM walking be called a hobby?" asks Prof. S. B. Cass
of the English department. "Jf it would, then I have a hobby,
one that 1 have always enjoyed."
Tramps through the mountains of Switzerland, the lanes
of Enghnd and valleys of Germany as well as along the prairie
roads or jNenrassa auu iuuKi
trulls t,r the Sierras have civen
Mr. Gass experience enough to be
called an authority. "In France,
one time, 1 startea a Dicycie
trip but after losing my way, try
ing to find it by inquiries in halt
ing French, and attempting to get
through muddy roads in an un
ending rain storm. I turned around
and took the train," he laughed.
Spvpm vears aero he was one
of a quartet, of professors of the
university, all Keenly mLeresiea in
hiking. Recently the group has
been broken up but Professor Gass
still enjoys long walks when time
and weather permit.

be well worn to tne nana, oe
light but strong and preferably
havo a Innn tn hfLncr on the arm
so that the hand may be free at
times to light the pipe or to pick
up interesting objects found along
the road.
Fine days in Nebraska offer
the most delightful walking
weather of any Professor Gass has
known. Along the Platte valley
there is nature scenery that rivals
any country's. A trip to Crete is
one of his favorite saiuraay
Jaunts.
Disagreeing with Hazlitt and
Stevenson, perhaps tha most fa

BREAK VALLEY RECORDS
A M F.S. la. (Special to The

college swimming team, champions
of the Big Six conference last

of Nebraska natators here tonight
in the first meet of the year for
both teams.

first 100 yards, but Pattavlna, Ne
braska's breaststroker, opened a
wide margin over M. Smith.
Huskers Take Five Firsts.
The Cornhuskers took first in
five of the nine events and bettered
one Big Six conference record
when Mockler swam the 150-yard
backstroke in 1:58.7, one-tenth sec
ond faster than his own conference
record. M. Smith of Iowa State
bettered by 16 seconds the confer
ence record in the 440-yard free
style when he swam the distance
in 6:5. Hestbeck of Nebraska was
a close second. All three place
winners finished well under the
conference mark.
50-Yard Dash Featured.
Although not swam in fast time,
the 50-yard dash was the feature

of Iowa State and Young and

Two valley records were broken.
Mockler of Nebraska bettered his
not as pleasant as one with a
companion or two. With his
friends, Mr. Gass often walks to
Crete and sometimes they go to
Seward or Fremont, other times
to Nebraska City or Beatrice.
"Twenty-eight or thirty miles in
one day is about the right length
of a hike for me," he says.
"The lighter the pack, the more
pleasure one can find in tramp
ing." he continues. "If you must
carry your food the pack is likely
t he too heavv. One of the most
pleasant trips I ever took waa in
Switzerland when I carnea oniy a
change of clothes and an extra
coat for rainy weather. On one
trip in California we followed a
trail in the coast range for about
ISO miles, depending on scattered
hermits to obtain food and
shelter.
"There should be some objective
for stimulation of any walking
trip but the walk itself should be
the important factor. A round
trip hike in one day la not inter
esting, m Mr. Gass's opinion. One
must walk to some point far
enough away to make it worth
while, then after a night'a rest the
return is enjoyable too.
He does not walk to make bo
tanical studies or do geological
research: it is the fun of tramp
ing with a friend that makes his
hobby interesting. Mr. Gass ex
plained, the love of continuous ex
ercise in the open air and the ap
