AN AMATEUR PLAY mi n i "MILLER ANDrMUELLER" BY THE GERMAN CLUB FRfOAY. 1 0K000)K)!30 presentation at the Temple Well Pat ron IzecLJ-Pronounced An Artistic . and Financial Success. LINCOLN HOTEL MARCH THIRTEEN FRESHMAN HOP Coming close upon tho Dramatic club's successful presentation of Ber nard Shaw's "You Jever Can Tell," pie success of ti.e German comedy, "Miller and Mueller," given by the Gor man club at the Temple last Friday evening has given a great stimulus to dramatics In tho University and shown the great opportunities to be afforded the university public by the now Tem ple theatre." Tho comedy of "Miller and Mueler," is'dellctously funny and novel and the Interpretation given It by tho members pfcthe dub was fully satisfying. The staging of tho play Was under tho di rection of Miss Heppner and was con sistent German as was tho music of the evening. That oven those who do not understand German, had no diffi culty In following the plot of the play thru its quite Intricate course, Is a testimony .to tho acting of the particip ants. Tho efforts of all were well appre ciated but perhaps Fritz K. Kruoger, having the part most capable of amus ing interpretation, received the most applause. His loye-maklng was lrre slstaple as a laugh producer. Miss Amanda Heppner. played tho part of Hannchen, the heroine's companion, very cleverly and has a good stage presence. F. H. Reinsch, as tho typ ical German father, capitulated grace fully In the last act and pronounced hlB blesBlng freely upon the two young coupleB who furnished the "entangle ments" of the plot. Miss Wilhelmlno Herold, as Frlederike the daughter, was a very natural, simple, German girl. Mr. Albert Aron as EmU JMuel ler, was very -convincing, especially to those who know him, for his nat urally quiet manner, was entirely lost invttie lively part which he played. Miss Elizabeth Wlttman played tho part of Frau Schraitye the washerwo man Mn a charming manner. Hex "coaching' of E. Miller, the bashful 'lover, was one of tho best scenes in the pjay. Will Mattlson and Theodore tftrueger as .the ''Kellner" and 'the ''Lohndlener" tho their -parts, were small,' added materially to the gen eral "effect In producing a German at mosphere. Miss Heppner as Hann schon, was presented by her friends 'With a large bouquet of roses. Op. the whole it is the common opln Ipn of those who attend "Miller -and Mueller" that It has sot a high stand- ard for university dramatics, and that 'his effort of the students oj .uerman in giving such a finished production is. deserving of much commendation. The synopsis of the play is given Be- low: ' 1 Act 1 rMr, Forstbach plana to marry ,ls daughter, Frlederike, to the son .dt an old friend. To prevent this, Hannchen writes to E. Mueller, 'Frled- fetlke's lover. The letter Is by mistake ' '"" , . (Continued on page four.) INFORMAL TICKETS $1.50 DAD ELLIOTT SOON GREAT 8TUDENT LEADER WILL VI8IT THE UNIVER8ITY.

J. Elliott for March 20th for a special address to Unlvorslty men. Mr. Elliott 1b familiarly known among the west as "Dad" Elliott, a namo which has clung to him even sinco tho days whon ho was accuse, tomed to hit tho onomles line on the gridiron at Northwostorn. At tho preB- eht time he Is student secretary of. tho' International committee of tho Y. M. C. A. and has won wide reputation as a speaker to college men. It Is tho tes timony of men who have heard him that no man over spoko with greHlor zeal and earnestness than does "Dad" Elliott. Onetof the things which has been an aid to him in securing a hearing from bo many college men Is the fact that during his undergraduate days he rep resented In a striking manner the highest type of all-round collogo mon. He was a star football man and In 1901 was named the all-western end. He was twice captain of the track team and had the record of 10 1-5. in the 100. yard dash. He was prominent In fraternity life of frls college; Jlng a member Pt Pol,ta Tau Ppita'an'jJ in' his senior year was elected to tho pur no society which correspond to our So ciety of Innocents. After his graduation from college ho was called to fill a large place in the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. as director of Associations religious activities, and at the' time ho stepped in to his presort position ho was recognized as thp strongest religious work director In the. Yjoung Men's Christian Associa tion. During the past few months. lu has visited many of tho colleges and universities of tlie west. He has had remarkable success especially in the state universities. It is especially urged that none of the classes or or ganisations of tho University sched ule affairs or functions for that night as all university men should make It a point to hear Elliot To Test Lighting Plant.
