farce comedy written by Richard
Maybaum and Harry Clorke, will

Max Whlttacker as Peter Russo,
Stan Klein as Joseph O'Rourke,
and Josephine Gold as Fay

The story deals with young
graduates of a law college who

hopes that business will come
their way, but it doesn't. For
tunately Arthur Lee is engaged
toFay Frankel, daughter of a
delicatessen proprietor, therefore
saving the law firm from starva
tion. Millionaire comes to rescue.
As the going begins to really
get tough, a millionaire playboy,
Robert Carlin, played by Glenn
Nelson, walks Into the office and
agrees to hire them to defend
him exclusively for $25,000 a
year. Robert is an eccentric fel
low, his ventures including such
antics as kidnapping chorus
girls, spending weekends in
morgues, wrestling with sales
girls, tying milk wagons to fire
plugs, and on and on.
Into the midst of all this new
activity walks Morris Schneerer,
played by Irving Simon, who
rents a desk in the outer office.
Because he keeps the telephone
in use constantly the other mem
bers are forced to install a pay
phone in his office.
After many successful trials,
the lawyers finally establish
themselves, and as the curtain
falls, everyone is happy.
Armand Hunter, the director,
announced that the Tassels will be

Willkie favored oyer FDR
by Um students in Daily pell
This week the DAILY features a student poll of men students and
their attitudes toward the presidential election of Roosevelt versus
Willkie. Next week the women will have their opportunity to ex
press their views Then the DAILY intends to segregate the opinions
further, to follow the trends, the shifts in opinions. To climax this
feeling of the student pulse, an actual straw-vote will be held,
probably in conjunction with the annual school fall elections.
By Ralph S. Combs.
Anti-third termites, anti-Roosevelt
men, and dyed-in-the-wool re
publicans thru their opinions ex
pressed to the DAILY yesterday
indicated that Willkie is Nebras
ka's choice by the narrow margin
of 28 to 22 over Roosevelt in a poll
of 50 men students.
On segregating those questioned
into classifications in the univer
sity, viz., freshman, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors, we find that
the freshmen favor Willkie four
to three; that the sophomores are
backing Roosevelt nine to seven;
while the juniors are pro-Willkie
nine to four; and the seniors arc
eight against six for Roosevelt.
Willkie carriel a majority in
both the junior and senior
groups, and nosed out Roosevelt
in the freshman class. The only
group carried by Roosevelt was
the sophomore class, and he did
not have a majority there.
No group sentimental.
Opinion seems to be well scat
tered, with no particular group
being strongly pro-Roosevelt or
pro-Willkie. Many students ques
tioned stated that they were unde
cided. While many of the com

Daily advertising
brings back $19;
faith in mankind
It pays to advertise and there's
still a lot of good souls in this
world, freshman Eleanor Watson
decided Sunday.
On Friday of last week, Eleanor
lost her pockctbook containing $19
"somewhere on the campus." In
her own words, "I felt bad. Every
time I saw a bird, it reminded me
of my $19 taking wings and flying
away."
The one thing for her to do was
to advertise in the DAILY NE
BRASKA! and then pray that her
hope in mankind was not an illu
sion. And so it was that on Sunday,
two men, both students, called at
Raymond hall and asked for a
"Miss Watson." They wouldn't
give their names, shunned any
kind of a reward, told her that
they knew how it would be to lose
$19, then left.
And Monday, In the DAILY of
fice, Eleanor said, "I hope all of
the new students at Nebraska
think as much of the people who
are attending here as I do."

to the Second Baptist Church at
