Tho annual Gorman play of tho Uni versity of Nebraska will bo glvon Fri day night at tho Tomplo theater, un der, the auspices oftho Gorman de partment. This year "it Is Roeknlcker atrasBe," a comedy, rich in good solid humor and ludicrous situations. Throughout it shows great Bpontanlotj with an inexhaustible flow of wit and nfforvonrlntr nnlrit. It is a nlav that appeals to anyone In search of amuse ment or diversion. In tho first net the curtain rises upon a domestic scene, a room of Mr. Drohso's Iioubo In Berlin. Hnrrassed by troublesomo tenants, and their un ending doraands of him, Mr. Brohse de cides to exchango his home, Koopnlck erstrasse 120, for Ludorsdorr, a coun try estate, belonging to Horr Krafft. Tho lattor is also dissatisfied with his property,' his crops are bad, tho forest ho has depended on for timber Is ex hausted, and ho realizes that the fol lowing year it would require a fortune to keep tho estate running. Ho Is thoroughly disgusted and Is more than willinc to exchange Ludorsdorf for sly attorney, and brother-in-law of Horr Brohso's, consummates tho doal, KoepnlckorstrosBO 120. Horr Soldol, a' having docslved both of the gontlomon as. to tho real condition of tho two properties. Heleno, tho charming young daughter of Horr 'BrohBo, and tho Homowhat countrified son of Krafft, Hugo, lend a ludicrous love Interest to tho act Tho second net is located in the gar- den-of Ludersdorfwhero, lntho first! Bcene, preparations aro made for wel coming tho now landlord and his wlfo. Whilo1 peacefully engaging In a little toto-a-teto under a tree, Heleno and Rosa, nleco df Soidol, aro exceedingly BurpriBod by a little "stunt" of Hugo's. It Is on this occasion that tho eaves dropper Hugo ovorhears his beloved Heleno refer to him as "clodhopper," which results in a surprise to tho young ladles, Hugo, and tho audloncqi A mistake of tho young ladles in tho Identity of Drossol gives rise' to a very comical situation. After much oxer- tton and many .difficulties, such as Ihe breaking down of a bridge, and wading over a mdfaBS for a half an hour, Horr Brohso and his wife finally arrlvo at Ludorsdorf, quite spent. Horo Horr Brohso's troubles begin, whon ho en gages a young and pretty housekeeper. Declare Their Love. Tho third nct'transpire In n room at Ludorsdorf. In Bplto of tho obJec jjon of tho BroliBeBand"llio scuoralng of Soldol tho ardent suitors, DroBsel and Hugo, succeed In declaring tholr lovo to ItoBa and Holone respectively. A graud mixup occurs when Seidel In sists on having Rosa and Hugo en gaged," instead of Rosa and DrosBol. Hugo also. gets into deep water, for, by trying to ascertain who'thor 'Rosa loves Drossol gives her the impres sion that he is asking her whether she loves him Hugo. And hero .Uncle Soldol comes In, and, without a hear ing gives them bis confront and bless ing, Mr, Bohso has found out that Ludorsdorf Is ntft flowing with milk 'and honey, and that his engaging i Miss Plckenbach, the pretty house keeper, was only the beginning of his trouble. To cap the climax ho Is ar rested for shooting a rabbit contrary. to the gamo law, and for trespassing J In th government forest ,x t The fourth ad last act opehs;on scono in Mr. Krafft's house, Koopnlck erstrasse 120. Hoping to profit by tho city's plan to open a street through this property, Seldol persuades Krafft to soil It to him, and at the same time announces Rosa's engagement to Hugo, thus causing innumerable mis understandings and confusion. It de velops, however,- that Koepnlckor strasse 110 will be torn down to build a .now street, nrid Mr. Soldol's little plan js spoiled. He now attempts to sell tho house back to Krafft and Brohse, but neither will have It at any price. Brohso's interest in Krafft's son's, Hugo's, engagement, causes Krafft considerable surprhso, who, of course, believes that Rosa and Hugo nre engaged. Finally all mistakes aro rectified, nnd everyone, except Seidel, Is happy, and both pairs 6f lovers are happily united. Cast of Characters..
