PLAY PROMISES MUCH
Dramatic Club's Enterprise an
Assured Success.
The Dramatic Club's play "Every
man," which will be produced at the
Oliver theatre, December 1, Is already
attracting much attention The play
was pioduced at the University of Chi
cago last year, and proved a great suc
cess. But little is known concerning
the play at Nebraska, however, and
the following facts will consequent!)
prove of much Interest
In America "Ever) man" has been
welcomed wiui quite as much favor
as in England Lengthy engagements
have been played in Now Yoik, Boston,
Chicago, and other large cities, and
special performances have been given
at Harvard .Yale, Chicago, and other
universities.
In "Everyman" we have one of those
old plays, so reverently composed, and
religiously performed by the monks
Anyone who has seen this beautiful
morality play will readily understand
how these servants of the Lord, .n tho
c.ark ages of the twelfth to the six
teenth centuries, regarded their per
rormnnce of the play as eonselen-1
tiously as they did their prayers Many
of tho verses have a sort of haunting
music, nnd, were persons to see it
played, or road it, fifty times, they
would obtain more good from, and like
it better each time. Tho character of
