NEW SUCCESS IN

'Wednesday's Child' Shows
Trend Towards Better
Productions.
BOB AGER STEALS SHOW
Lincoln Boy Gives Sincere
Portrayal of Role in
Atlas Play.
By MEREDITH OVERPECK.
Another Broadway success
has conic to Lincoln, this lime
in the University Players' pres
entation of Leopold Atlas'
n e v d ra i n a , " Wed nesd ay 's
Child." The opening; last evening
of this play in the Temple theater
shows the increasing tend toward
better productions. Supervised by
Miss H. Alice Howell of the dra
matics department, the drama was
staged by Harold '"Pete" Sump
tion. "Wednesday's Child" was Leo
pold Atlas' first plav on Broadway,
end was first produced by George
Haight and Henry Potter. The
producers and the author were
schoolmates at Professor Baker's
work shop at Yale, where they
all acted in a play called "L." Mr.
Atlas has chosen the line "Wednes
day's child is a child of woe" from
the well known poem "A Day of
Brith," and has made of his chief
character a realistic "child of
woo."
Story of Divorced Family.
This is a story of divorced par
ents, hoth of which remarry. The
child, placed in a military acad
emy, is not happy in either home
of his again-married mother and
father. The tragic theme in this
interpretation x of modern "tri
angles" is the unfortunate experi
ences of an eleven year old boy
who can't comprehend the reason
for the separation of his parents.
It is a dramatic, emotional story.
Bob Ager as the child, Bobby
Phillips, has S8 sides to his part,
and steals the show. It is re
markable that such a youthful per
son is capable of so many inter
pretations, facial expressions and
general theatrical knowledge as
Bob Ager radiates.
This is his first major role in a
theatrical production, but his read
ing of the role is professional. A
natural child actor is not often
found; however, the performance
given in this play by the young
actor was by far the high light of,
the show.
Makes Tragedy Real.
"With variety of gesture and
facial expression and intonation,
with sincerity and simplicity, the
boy makes Bobby Phillip's tragedy
a reality. There is apprehension,
subtly indicated, in the beginning,
where he realizes there is some
thing wrong in his home. There
is a healthy kid's bumptiousness
when he bosses the gang; a sharp
misery in his prayer, asking God
quite simply, to make his mother
love his father again when the
boys taunt him because they have

Students interested in securing

facetiously outlined the road to
glory as achieved thru the Y. W.

An article written bv Don Wake,
titled "They Gallop Again" had to
do with gridiron heroes of past
Husker wars. A double page

DRAMA
Control of Soil Erosion Regarded as
Problem Gradually Threatening Our
Economic Prosperity, Say Botanists
By DON WAGNER.
I'miceiiyiug the minds of the vast majority of the country's
populace, but considered by leading botanists as the foremost
problem today facing the nation is a relatively unheard of sub
ject, the control of soil erosion. At a convention of the coun
try's foremost botanists at Ames, Iowa, last, week, control of
soil
erosion was credited as a
problem gradually creeping for
ward to threaten the economic
prosperity of the future. Accord
ing to Prof. R. J. Pool, head of
the botany department at the uni
versity who was a principal
speaker at the convention, wash
ing of soils is looming more than
ever before as a great problem
that needs an immediate scientific
solution.
As the convention's main sub
ject, the program on soil erosion
dealt mostly with reports giving
the findings and facts concerning
the problem, all of which definite

ing, Prof. Pool said. Having been
previously considered as an engi
neering problem, its solution is
primarily of a botanical nature,
he related, and it is up to botanists
to preserve the plants and hence
retain the soil.
"If nothing were done to allay
the washing of the soil, a great
deal of the land's surface would be
washed into the sea and agricul
ture would be ruined," he stated.

Emergency Schools
Open Mew Field for
Home Ec Graduates
"A new and Interesting field
has opened up for Home Econom
ics graduates in the Emergency
Nursery Schools of Nebraska,
Miss Agnes Saunders, State Su
pervisor of the school stated in an
interview given yesterday. Miss
Saunders has recently returned
from a tri-conference on education
in Washington, attended by all
types of workers in the field of
education.
When organized in local commu
nities these schools not only "pro
vide employment for teachers, but
assure a needed educational pro
gram for young children and their
parents as well, Miss Saunders
said.
They operate under the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration,
and are for young children from 2
to 5 years of age. The daily ac
tivities and play of the children
are supervised by trained workers
and teachers; well balanced meals
are provided, as well as health ex
aminations. Thirteen of these schools were
established in Nebraska last year,
and more are being organized this
fall.
THIEF TAKES 1 ,500
COPIES DAILY PAPER
Affair Only Comparable to
Theft of Fourteen
Years Ago.
STYLE VOTES DESIRED
Theft of 1.500 copies of Sunday's
Daily Nebraskan from the Nebras
kan office early Monday morning
was announced Monday by Rich
ard Schmidt, business manager.
The loss was discovered by Wilbur
Erickson, circulation manager,
when he returned to the office at
7:45, after leaving at 7:00. to take
some papers to the Social Science
booth. The theft was reported to
the police immediately, and an
other printing of 1.500 Nebraskans
was run off at 2:00 o'clock.
The desire to secure voting cou
pons for the "Ag" style contest be
ing conducted by the Nebraskan
was advanced as a reason for the
theft by members of the business
staff. "We appreciate all the in
terest shown in the contest."
Schmidt stated, "but not when it
reaches such degree." No votes
from Sunday's edition will be
counted, according to Schmidt, in
order to keep out all the coupons
from the stolen editions.
"The occurrence is similar to a
theft of fourteen years ago," com
mented Gayle C. Walker, director
of the school of journalism, "when
an entire edition was stolen from
the print shop a few hours before
distribution. Interest in spring
elections was high that year, and
members of one faction believed
that the editor, who was the oppo
sition leader, might spoil their
chances a day before the election."
Many fraternity and sorority
houses on fraternity row reported
that their bundles 'of Nebraskans
have been missing during the past
week, and afterwards took them in
from their porches immediately
upon delivery.
One day of the contest, which
will designate five Nebraska Style
queens, remains for students to
cast their ballots. Over five mil
lion points have been turned in,
placing Jean Tucker first with 771
thousand, with Muriel Hook, Mar
garet Chase. Virginia Selleck and
Francis Ireland in the next four
places.
