ARRANGING PLAYS
DRAMATIC CLUB TO GIVE PRO
S' ' '
I DUCTION8.
Among.the Plays Under Consideration
.ls One By Bernard Shaw the Sen
v satlonal English Playwright.
, For the paat mouth, the different
'committees o the Dramatic Club have
been arranging for different produc
tions to be put on In the now theater
this winter, and in the meeting held
Tuesday, the committee on plays and
casts announced that Ihey had decided
, to put on a number of short one act
plays immediately, to be followed by a
finished performance of a big play.
The reason for giving a great num
ber of 'small plays Is to find out the
.caliber, of the material of the club gen
erally 'and especially of the twenty
live new members that were taken In
alout a month ago. These plays will
lust bo presented berore the ciuu witn
oul scenery or costume, and the club
will then decide what plays will be
rendered before the public. Those
that are selected as par excellent will
then be given In the form of after
noon matinees.
' Perhaps the moBt highly recom'
mended of these plays and one that
has been played by some of America's
stars, Is "In Honor Bound," which
will be produced by Mr. E. Johnson,
. Mr. Bumstead, Miss Llndermann .and
Miss Frances Gould". "'Grin Golr" Is
another that has a reputation behind
It. "Miss Jesslo Cook will play the
leading- role.'
'Wance Olefleld," by Jerome K. Je
rome will be gven with Miss Ruth
Bailey as principal. Richard Harding
Davis' "The Little Girl, "The Holly
Tree Inn," a skotch from Dickens,
"Mrs Plodding's Nieces" by nine young
ladles, and "Washington's First Re
treat" with Mr. Robertson, Miss Faulk
onberg, and MIsb Frum as principals,
are other "one-act playB that are re
garded as the best of American play
lets, .
.-Perhaps the most charming of all
is "The Flower of Ifoddo," one of the
most delicate of the Japanese stories
that have been so popular in Ameri
ca' within the last two years. This
will bo presented by four very clever
amateurs, Mr. Coulter, Mrs. Sherman,
Miss Shlnn, and Miss Bailey.
These plays are all under the super
vision of Miss -Howell of the Elocution
Department and will he Vendered with
as much artistic effect as any of the
mbro elaborate productions to bo
given later in the year. The Club is
now 'aiscuBslng the project of putting
on a clever modern play by Bernard
Shaw, who has been attracting tho
.theater going public strongly. In the
.course of a-few days this play will
probably be announced
Tho following casts are announced:

COUNTY FAIR.
Great Things Being Planned for the
Country Folks.
-rho annual County Fair will tako
place In the Armory Saturday evening,
December 7.
This great 'and wonderful exhibition
of all the "phun" enthusiasts of the
University and elsewhere will bo vis
ited this year by some famous celeb
rities from dlfferont countries" of the
Far East, attracted here by the fame
of the County Fairs of past years.
The proBpect of a visit by thqso
strangers from the Far East has oc
casioned a flutter of expectation
among the country folkB. who annual
ly visit the Fair. The preparations
which are being made in honor of the
visit far exceed anything over known
In the history of this exhibition. The
fact Is, everyone for miles around la
planning to greet these visitors.
Aunt Samantha and Undo Josiah
have already notified the authorities
that they will bring their family of
twelve, and they are expecting to stop
at the Outside Outt (inn). Not only
these, but countless otllerahro plan
ning to attend the Fair. A band of
gypsies are at present crossing tho
prairies en route to the Armory. They
are accompanied by a former circus
man who Is bringing a herd of ele
phants and giraffes to exhibit on
Derby Day. We are also delighted to
announce that tho whole town of
Strawberry Point will attend tho Fair
on masse, chaperoned by Uncle Sam
and Aunt Dinah, who have not In
years misBed this occasion to show
the Point a good time.
Under tho direction of Miss How
ells, a special booth will be provided
where mothers may leavo their babies
while enJoyTnglB'e revelry nnd frolic
of the "Pike" to their heart's content.
Also special provision for families
from the smaller country townB will
bo nfade in one of the booths, so that
no one need be left at home because
of the fear of parents that children
will not bo taken care of. Tho dra
matic booth promises to bo one of
the main attractions on the "Pike,
especially in the variety and scope of.
its dramas and tho versatility of its
actors. Warning is given, however,
that all Shakespearean and other
plays produced will bo strictly guard
ed by copyright
Along with the many and various
attractions of the 'Pike" will be found
tho pop-corn and the peanut man, tho
ice cream and the waffle man, and the
man with the balloons. If all arrange
ments can be satisfactorily made, as
the authorities hope, M. Pierre and
his latest and most modern airship
win arrive at the Fair grounds prompt
ly on 'December 7th and will make
periodic excursions to heights un
known. No one can .afford to mlBS the Coun
ty Fair. Drive in and bring your
folks or your best girl. You, will find
plenty to sed and all that you can
eat, December 7th, at tho Armory.
Inter-Class Athletic Board., Holds
Meeting.
The Inter-Class Athletic Board met
last night in ordeT'to draft a now con
stitution, tho old one having unfor
tunately been destroyed. It remained
in session until nearly ten o'clock bo-.
fore all was finished. No Important
changes "were made, however, and no
business of any importance was trans
acted, although it was rumored before
tho mooting that the Seniors would
protest the game lost to the Juniors
on tho ground that there were some
men who played on the J.unlor team
who wore not eligible under the rules,
having, won their letters in minor state
colleges.
At Michigan the Comedy Club has
selected the"bldEngllsh comedy, "The
Recruiting' Officer," for presentation
In a few weeks. tThe play was first
produced in 1708, at Dury Lane The-
ater.

Doane promises to drnw a big crowd.
This gamo will mark tho last appear
ance of Captain Wellor on Nobraska
Field, and tho supporters of tho Corn
buskers should make It an ovation

of the success attainod In this year's
Kschedule has boon duo to tho conBlat-'
ent playing of Captain John Wollor,
