Trumpeter Insures
Lips for $250,000
BY JERRY COIIN.
Sonny Dunham, the man who
can switch from the trombone to
the trumpet alternately, much to
the amazement of musicians and
doctors alike, said in an interview
Saturday that his lips are so val
uable that, while in Miami re
cently, he had them insured for a
quarter of a million dollars.
The ability to play both instru
ments requires a different set of
lip muscles, which is called era
bouchre. Insurance was needed
because his lips are subject to
paralysis at any time.
Sonny was formerly featured
with Paul Tremaine's orchestra
and Glen Gray's Casa Loma or
chestra. Sixth Year.

Nebraska is one of three states

to teach without college prepara
tion. The convention will discuss
the feasibility of the bill before
the last session of the legislature
which would require prospective
teachers graduating from normal
training high schools to have one
additional summer session's train
ing at some college. This would
grant a certificate at the end of
the summer session which would
need to be renewed by taking an
additional college summer ses
sion's work every year.

the Nebraska Department of Pub
lic Instruction, the Nebraska State
Education association, Teachers
College of the Nebraska univer
sity, and the Nebraska Depart

One-Act Plays
BY PATTY JENSON.
Gaylcrd Marr, author and lead
ing actor of "New Tomorrow," an
original one act play presented
Thursday night in the Temple
theater, showed promise in both
fields in an intriguing story of a
returned veteran suffering with an
extreme case of war nerves.
The story was presented in a
series of flashbacks with Bill Lu
cas playing the part of a reporter
and narrating the action from an
improvised platform to the right
of the main stage. Marr and Lucas
gave the outstanding perform
ances of the evening.
Ann Proper was Kitty, the wife
who the veteran felt had become
disloyal during his three year ab
sence. At times her characteriza
tion appeared to be somewhat
forced.
Minor Roles.
Robert Wheeler, Rex Cosier,
Fred Lorenz, Lois Jarman and
Arlene Marylander gave convinc
ing performances as minor char
acters. Ditoction of Blanche Duck
