Uni Theatre Play 'Prologue
To Glory Opens Wednesday
The University Theater will pre
sent "Prologue to Glory" on the
stage of the Temple Theater open
ing Wednesday night, Dec. 10, and
running for three days. The play,
the second in the regular theater
series, is the story of the younger
days of Abraham Lincoln.
In two acts and eight scenes
"Prologue to Glory" takes Lincoln
from his father's Illinois farm to
the village of New Salem and the
events surrounding this change in
his life portray some of the most
interesting and moving times in
his eventful career.
No play based on Lincoln's life
would be complete without touches
of the dry humor that character
ized the man. "Prologue to Glory"

Ident Pictures
In Next Issue
A little horror will be combined
with the humor element of this
month's Awgwan which will come
out Dec. 15, manned by a com
plete staff announced yesterday
by Jim Lipsey, editor.
The horror angle comes in the
"Refined Rogues' Gallery" which
has something to do with identifi
cation pictures of prominent cam
pus men and women. Plenty of
thievery was required for this fea
ture, staff editors said.
Revised staff heads are Shiiley
Kyhn and Joan Metcalf, assistant
editors; Val Anderson, photog
raphy editor; Norris Anderson,
copy editor; Julius Cohn, exchange
editor; Dennis Brunner, art edi
tor. Something new in the next issue
will bo an article a serious one
by a member of the faculty. If
students like the idea, it will be
come a monthly fixture.
Norris Anderson has a feature
story; scattered picture show shots
of the Kosmfct Klub show and
around campus scenes. There will
be an unusual cover picture.
And, of course, the magazine
will include the same old jokes,
gore and cartoons.

is packed with the typical dry wit
of America's hero. Among the
thrilling moments of the play are
the fight with Jack Armstrong,
the village bully; Lincoln's first
stump speech when he campaigns
for the Illinois legislature; and his
historic debate on the subject "Re
solved that Bees Are More Valu
able Than Ants."
In the play, E. P. Conkle, a na
tive Nebraska playwright and a
university alumnus, has written a
drama that has been rated moving
and effective in its sheer simplic
ity. Clarence Flick, teacher's college
senior will play the part of Young
Abe, while a junior in the same
college, Dorothy Filley, will be
seen as Ann Rutledge.
Others in the cast include: Mar
tha Ann Bengston as Abe's mother

Fine Arts School Observes
Messiah's 200th
. .
The school of fine arts will ob
serve the 200th anniversary of the
creation of Handel's masterpiece,
"The Messiah," when it presents
the oratorio for the 46th time Sun
day, Dec. 14, in the coliseum.
"The Messiah" is the only work
in musical literature which has re
mained in continuous popular fa
vor for such a long period. It was
written in 24 days by Handel of
which one biographer has said,
"Considering the immensity of the
work and the time involved, it will
remain, perhaps forever, the great
est feat in the whole history of
musical composition."
Depressed by a long series of
opera failures in -London, Handel
had no idea of presenting "The
Messiah" after he finished it. An
invitation from Dublin, however,
changed hi3 mind, and there the
first performance was given on
April 13, 1742.
Because of the small size of the
theater, the Dublin papers request

Delford Brummer, technical di

the play in a semi-realistic man

1831 period and will help to create
the mood' of the production.
The play is under the direction
of Theater Director Paul L. Bo

Curtain time will be at 8 p. m.
with tickets going on sale tomor

Seven hundred persons heard this
first performance which was billed
as a "Grand Oratorio."
An uncut version of "The Mes
siah" takes considerably more
than two hours for performance,
but the version to be presented by
the university is less than hslf this
length. Cuts are necessitated' by
time rather than because of any
inferiority of the rest of the ora
