An Old Wound Never Heals
History repeats itself attain with uncanny precision. Anl
Spain the University Flayers have heM up their left hands and
cried "foul" against criticism of their show, "Family Por
trait," appearing in the DAILY. Since the days of old, the
riavers have, at least once during the rear, heen the luitt of
nasty little comments about their attempts
to produce something cood and fine. No
campus wound between these two organiza
tions has a Mircer scab that never heals. No
single deserving campus organization, with
its friends included, can blow forth so quickly
with a mawkish outburst of sentiment as tho
Flayers.
Their cries are justified if we accept
their way of looking at it. They spend, as
we do. Ions: hours in preparation of some
thing in which they have their hearts and souls. Like us, of
the DAILY, they are so close to the production side that it is
often hard to see another point of view. The Players, like the
DAILY, have their share of grief. To them we offer con
dolences. They feel put out because they must use all students
in their east. The quality of their production is lowered, they
say, because they have been forced to discontinue the use of
more experienced actors who naturally are not attending uni
versity. The DAILY can make the same excuses. Somehow or
other, it has never been able to get a qualified critic to judge
Flayer productions. For some mysterious reason, it also is lim
ited in its scope and endeavor by those who are new at the job
and are merely getting their first chance to experiment. And
bo, to us too, condolences arc in order.
Ye do not condemn the writer of our
criticism the other day, no more than the
Flayers would condemn one of their brethren
for a questionable performance. Yc are
aware of the Flayers' hardships. We have
attempted to foster their efforts this year.
Their casts have always come under the cri
tical eye even of the Flayers themselves.
Their theater is inadequate. Their chief ticket-selling
agents, the Tassels, have a hard
time convincing students that enjoyable en
tertainment can be cultural. Their attendance figures on Lin
coln townspeople are small. The Flayers need every aid they
can muster. Fut that w ill never excuse them for turning in any
questionable performance before the eyes of an audience prob
ably lacking the experience of being critical like our critic,
who may have put it a little strong.

Get orange sunburned. Orange
will soon start peeling.
Scare orange. Grab skin when
it jumps out of it.
Tell orange that it has the skin
you love to touch. Orange will
tremble like a leaf. Skin will shake
loose and drop off.
Turn orange over to gold-digger.
Orange will soon be stripped.
Hypnotize orange. Tell orange
that it is a snake. Orange will
shed skin.
Call orange yellow. Orange will
want to fight. Will remove jacket.
Advise orange that too many
clothes are unhealthy. Orange will

Will undress completely.

Feed orange cod liver oil. Orange
will slip right out of its skin.
Wait for the advancement of
science and the time when we will
have skinless oranges.

a great movement.

The U. S. state departr.nt may

bo far as the country's colleges
are concerned.
A recent study of the approxi

that almost 25 percent are from
the "big three" universities of the

Yale second, and Princeton third
Next in rank come Cornell,

Nebraska has no representatives
in the state department at Wash

To the Editor:
The lead story of Wednesday's
Daily Ntbraskan was concerned
with the University Players' pres
entation of "Family Portrait." The
student reporting the play pre
sented her opinion of the per
formance. It seems only fair to a cast who
have worked long weeks to pro
duce a play for the enjoyment of
the students of the university and
the people of Lincoln that another
opinion should be presented in
your columns.
"A prophet is not without hon
our but in his own country, and
among his own kin, and in his
own house." This was the theme
of the play. It was developed by
presenting the ordinary life of the
family of the prophet in question.
The players took this story, the
most famous in all literature, and
presented it to the best of their
ability. The story of the Cruci
fixion of Jesus is too well-known
to be described here. But I should
like to describe some of the out
standing points of the story as
our students told it
Few people in the audience
will forget the closing of each
scene. Particularly outstanding
was the close of scene two in act
one, when the stranger turns to
Mary and tells her he is Judas
Iscariot. When the favorite
brother Judah turns agninst Jesus
and cries "I hate him!", when
Judas says: "Nothing can destroy
him," and when His mother
sneaks the closing lines of the
play: "It's a nice name, I woufdnt
want it to be forgotten, it took a
hardened Heart to remain un
moved.
For pure drama the scene in
the upper room in Jerusalem
would be hard to beat. The three
Marys wait and hear the cries of
the mob outside as they seize and
crucify the man so dear too all of
them.
When criticizing individual
actors their roles mu.t be consid
ered. The hardest role in the
world is that of Christ, and that
of Mary, His mother, is second
The play revolves around Doris
Pellot in this difficult part, and
she handles it with restraint and
just enough emotion. The other
two Marys fit well into their roles
The sons are not ju.it the brothers
of Jesus, they are four types of
mankind found in Jesus time and
still found today. Jon Pruden
Jack Bittner, Verne Geissingcr
and Bob Johnston realized this
and played their parts accord

Contemporary
Comment
Thursday's fashion edition of
the Daily Nebraskan, university
newspaper, smelled. ,
Literally.
To complicate the matter, the
editorial staff was glad to re
ceive comments from readers to
that effect.
Wednesday night the student
staff went into a huddle and
decided to put on "airs." The re
sult: A messenger was dispatched
for a fly sprayer, 25 cents: 12
ounces of rose water, 50 cents;
an unidentified "parfum," 53
for three bottles, and rum. no
one asked the price. The blend
was sprayed on the Nebraskans
as they came off the press.
Quality was sacrificed for
strength as the smell had to
permeate the pages and hang on
for at least three hours while
the papers were being delivered.
The cost was only $3.50, but
the effect was priceless, defi
nitely. Lincoln Journal.

inelv. Max Whittaker played tne
part of "A Disciple" with intense
feeling and understanding. The
dancer in the wineshop, Mathias
the merchant and Eban, the ped
dler, all deserve praise for ful
filling their parts successfully.
Not being well-informed in dra
matic criticism. I hesitate to men
tion technicalities. I can speak
for the general impression of the
play, and for the emotions pro
duced by the technicalities. Con
tributing factors to both of these
were the organ music and me
beautifully done settings.
So I say congratulations to tne
cast for a well produced and well
acted play. Far from not having
enough oomph they keyed the
performance down to Heighten us
dramatic intensity. The finest
story in the world, presented in
an original and entertaining man
ner. That's "Family Portrait."
