'Holiday,' Starting at the
Temple Nov. 17 Said
to Be Clever Play.
STORY OF HIGH SOCIETY
"Holiday," an entertaining com
edy by Philip Barry, is to be pre
sented by the University Players
Nov. 17 to No. 22 in the Temple
theater. A cast composed of fam
iliar faces and several new ones
will present this popular play
which is filled with clever lines and
abounding in opportunity for bits
of good acting.
Two sisters and a brother grow
up under the tyranny of a domin
eering, multi-millionaire father in
fashionable New York society. The
younger daughter becomes en
gaged to a young lawyer of no so
cial prominence who is determined
not to follow the life outlined for
him by his fiancee and her father,
but to take the money he has made
on the stock market and go off on
a holiday" until it givs out and
then to come back and do what
ever he wishes.
Much Suspense.
The older sister who has been
struggling all her life to throw off
the fetters of her convention
bound lift, sympathizes with
Johnny, ard finally falls in love
with him herself. The clash of
dominant personalities, each deter
mined that he is right, fills the
plav with much suspense.
The charater of Linda, played by
Dorothy Zin.mer, is an outstand
ing creation. Art Singely plays
the part of Johnny Case, the
young lawyer engaged to Julia,
portrayed by Augusta French.
In the supporting cast, Lucille
Cypreansen and Paul Thompson
fill the parts of Laura Cram and
her husband Seton Cram, the dis
tasteful but always-ready-to-help
cousins of the family. Harlan G.
East on is tne domineering old
father and Jere Mickel plays the
part of Ned, the brother, which
completes the Seton family.
Herbert Yenne and DeLellis
Shramek play Nick and Susan
Potter, friends of Linda that cause
much of the merriment in the play.
Leland Bennett, Kdwin Mortensen,
and Ethelyn Colwell complete the
cast.

They will go on as a tap team de

La amatic authorities and super
critics on song and dance acts
pronounce the skit a "big time"
number. Critics aud authorities
are never wrong aud all present
predictions indicate a merry frolic
in Sir Dan's pleasure-bent cabaret.
Sympathetic music will be served
in jazzy portions by an especially
reserved dance band which has
been imported from Lincoln for the
turkey-morning event, and there's
no cover charge.
As to the details of the night
club production the master of cere
monies maintains an eloquent sil
ence. A good tip has been re
leased, however, that the act will
have a brilliant finale which is
"absolutely the ast word."
FILINGS CLOSE
FOR SWEETHEART
AT 12 O'CLOCK
Aspirants for Position
Must Register By
Noon Today.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
Men Speculate on Identity
of Contestants for
Kosmet Honor.
Filings for Nebraska sweetheart,
honorary position created by Uni
versity of Nebraska Kosmet Klub,
will close at noon today, In accord
ance with a deadline set by club
members two weeks ago. All fil
ings are being made to John K.
Selleck, in the student activities
office.
Selleck could not give the num
ber who had filed up to late yes
terday, stating that club members
expected more coeds to register
their names this morning and that
a complete check would be made
and released after this noon.
Considerable Interest.
A great deal of interest has been
manifest in Nebraska sweetheart
ever since filings were called for,
according to members of Kosmet
Klub. Sororities discussed her in
weekly business meetings and de
cided on candidates, and it is said
men all over the campus have been
speculating on who will file and
what their chances will be.
The sweetheart will be elected
by all men of the university at a
special election in the Temple on
Nov. 20. Sponsored by Kosmet
Klub, the ballot will be under the
supervision of the student council.
Combinations Probable.
Until filings are released, it will
be impossible to tell just what
combinations will be formed for
election purposes. It is thought,
however, that sororities with can
didates . will .do considerable .log
rolling between both organizations
of theirs and the opposite sex.
Nebraska sweetheart will be pre
sented in the Kosmet Klub morn
ing revue as princess of King Kos
met's royal court and will auto
matically become queen of the
court the year following this. The

Dear Alumni and Fikmls:
It h a pleasure to turn aside from the regular duties of
tlio day and extend a welcome to the friends and alumni
of the University. You aro indeed welcome.
If the nlumni "nose about," they will find that the fine
traditions of their doy are still being earned forward by the
present splendid student generation. And I should say if one
may rely on his memory and that of those who knew you, the
present, student generat ion is no worse in scholarship, et eetern,
than some of you were. In fact some of the older faculty
members say that they see in the faces of the present student
body the very pictures of some of the alumni.
We are glad you are coming. Our latsebstring is out.
Yours sineerelv,

ONLY NINE DAYS
LEFT EOR PICTURES
All Yearbook Photos Must
Bo Taken By Nov. 25,
Says Gammill.
Only nine days, or little more
than a week remain during which
students may get their pictures
taken for the 1931 Cornhusker an
nual. The number of students who
h.ive appeared at Hauck's and
Townsend's for yearbook photos
during the past two days has ma
terially increased, according to
Kenneth Gammill. Cornhusker
editor but sufficient studio provi
sions have been made to accom
modate all patrons during the re
mainder of the period.
"The Cornhusker staff will have
absolutely no power to arrange
appointments for pictures after
Nov. 25," asserted Gammill. "This
applies to pictures for fraternity
and sorority sections as well as for
junior and senior divisions of the
book."
Contracts with the downtown
photographers make it necessary
for every student who wishes a
place inj.he yearbook to get a pho
tograph taken within the next nine
days. Although the Cornhusker
staff is making many appoint
ments, an appointment is not ab
solutely necessary said Gammill,
for usually either Hauck's or
Townsend's are able to accommo
date any student who wishes a
picture.
MISSliNlNSON
AT
'Welfare Work in Nebraska'
Is Subject of Talk
to Women.
Miss Lilian Johnson, of the de
partment of Public Welfare of Ne
braska, spoke at the general meet
ing of the League of Women Vot
ers, Thursday, on "Welfare Work
in Nebraska-" There are three
legislative steps which should be
taken by the state to insure more
effective welfare work, according
to Miss Johnson.
The first of these is a forming
of county commissions under state
supervision with committees made
up of local representatives; this
commission would pay for a social
worker to take care of the cases
in that community.
The second legislative request is
let it be provided that the chief
of the bureau be "a university
graduate, specialized in social
sciences, and having, also, five
years of experience.
The last request is that a state
children's welfare commission be
created to act under the Public
Welfare commission, and to work
without remuneration. Although
the department now does all it
can to take care of the many chil
dren, it is not yet adequate and
there are many cases neglected
and overlooked.

BE PARTY FEATURE
Male Trio to Present
Third All-University
Dance Saturday.
at
SULTAN'
ON PROGRAM
Featuring a Turkish theme,
final plans have been made for
the third All-University party to
be held Saturday, Nov. 15.
The feature of the stage show
will be a Turkish dance. This
dance will be presented by a male
trio. A mystery singer, "the sul
tan" is to be one of the main at
tractions. It is whispered that at
some time during the dance he will
sing a true Turk love song to a
harem. It seems that the song is
a chronical of the wonderful ad
ventures of a lovely maiden who
made a journey to Mecca: Allen
Williams, chairman of the party
committee states that he is con
sidering organizing a guard to
keep amorous coeds from running
off with the "sultan." Having
journeyed from the land of the
Turks to sing a native melody for
th sole amusement of patrons of
tli rall.v- t 13 expected that he
will be ' received with great ap
plaifc. Decorations.
The ff 'i.um will be decorated
with colored streamers and colored
!i;hts will be used to increase the
rffcet. For the first time this vear
confetti and japanese serpentine
will be used. The serpentine ha
five different colored strands which
will unfold when thrown.
The chaperones for the party
will be Mr. and Mrs. Warfil, Mr.
and Mrs. Cape, Mr. and Mrs.
Nevins. Professor and Mrs. Mickey
and Mrs. Rosenquist. A special
pavilion for the chaperones has
been constructed. It is built in
Turkish style with a fish pond in
the center.
Austin Waltz.
The Austin Waltz, new dance
feature, will have a prominent
place on the program. Latest news
on this is to the effect that the
Barb council is considering getting
a copyright on this dance, accord
ing to Williams. As this dance Is
claimed to be original it is ex
pected that it will meet with in
stant approval. An Austin car will
be available for free rides around
the floor and all who are interest
ed in miniature locomotion may
participate.
The music will be furnished by
the Omaha Night Owls. This col
ored orchestra has been imported
from Omaha to play especially for
the All-University party. It has
been suggested that a colored or
chestra does not fit in with the
Turkish theme but Williams states
the Night Owls will present music
which will blend with the theme.
The fact that this is Home
coming week leads to the predic
tion by Williams that this party
will be the best attended and larg
est this year.
