ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT IN USE hTtU8er"byC(fri5r-nrr-Whieh- Charles Hawtry Starred In Hands of University Cast. Evidently "A Message from Mars" is a play bound to create an Impres sion. It Is a play In Itself distinctly different from any other. There are the beautiful scenes with masmlficnnt oleptrical effects that characterize the swift moving comedy. Besides, there Is a moral In the play that can not bo mistaken. Tho story was told yesterday by Coach Scott of an eminent actor, by name' Porter, who played tho part of i tho selfish business man. P.orter was woalthy and did not need to work for hla. livelihood. After a time Che play seemed to make a change in the man and' for each performance ho .bought a carload of salt to bo used as snow In tho second act, and then distributed to the needy. He also turned over the entiro compensation he received from his work to philanthropic purposes. Original Manuscript.- It was only at a recent date that "A Message from Mars" haB been leased to stock companies. There has been such a demand for manuscript that Sanger & Jordan of New York, owners of tho copyright, have been unable td supply all orders. The orig inal manuscript used by Charles Haw try and his company wqb 'first lent to a stock company In Brooklyn. This same manuscript is now being UBed by the junior cast which will present tho play next Saturday night at the Oliver. It was with great difficult that copies could bo secured at all. Big 8eat Sale. 'Everywhere tho play has been pro duced It has created a furor and is considered by critics to be far above tfyo average. This is mainly because of; its ability to amuse and entertain as well as teach, a great lesson about solfiishness. The advanced sale so far has been most gratifying, having surpassed that far any other porfprmanco given by a university cast. There will lie little difficulty in filling the house to capacity. ' f NEBRASKA WRESTLERS MEET IOWA March 21 has been set for fir8t intercollegiate MATCH. The first annual wrestling meet be tween Nebraska and Iowa will be held in, Iowa City next Tuesday night, March 21. This is the final date set, being the result of three postpone ments. .Although it might have, been more convenient for Nebraska to have held tho contest after the annual gym nastic exhibition In which a try-out for tile HtfddleHvelght representative m,ighl have- been held; Iowa has a vlldi contention for the early date in thfactUiat; two of the wrestler? are q qualify fqr tba track,team. c A1ccaTmir"to me-present-pians-a. try-out wllU fee held la the- latter- part oU&eeekv,to 4etsBnlne, the light weight representative, Ruby and-Mun- son being the aspirants for the posi tion. Elliott will bo the ropresentatlvo in the heavy-weight event, while Miller will uphold the middle-weight. Iowa nt first asked that March 14 be set as the day for tho mat contest, but Nebraska demanded a later date, and JJarch 22 was finally compromised on. Tho rules submitted by Dr. Clapp have met with approval. Not only will the strangle holds bo barred ns usual, but also some others that are dangerous and have-heretofore-beon allowed. The too hold, made famous by 'Frank Gotch, can not be used, it being very likely to cause injury to the wrestler. Next year tho match Is to bo held at Nebraska and will undoubtedly be come n permanent part of the athletic program. In the largo universities of tho east intercollegiate wrestling has become as porulnr as basketball or other Indoor sports. To make a safe guess on tho outcome Is almost an lm possibility. MISS HAYDEN RETURNS tells how sorolla has AC COMPLISHED HIS FAME BY HARD WORK. Miss Ifayden of the fine arts depart ment haB returned from Chicago, where she went to Bee tho Sorolla ex hibition. She was enthusiastic and do- clares the 'Spaniard the greatest paint er of hiB day. MAn Insight Into the methods where by Sorolla, the distinguished Spanish painter, has achieved his signal suc cess may not come amiss to a large number of students who expect by a year of resultory study to be prepared for teaching," said Miss Hayden. "For thirty years, beginning with hiB entrance at an art school at the age of soventeen, Sorolla has given his entire time, strength and energy to his work, and of this period he counts tho first twenty years as merely pre paratory. Even now with his reputa tion firmly established, with highest honors bestowed on him by nearly every country of Europe, ho has no thought of relaxing his tremendous In dustry. It Is his habit during the long summer months, the time when he produces his wonderful sunlit can vases, to work dally from nine to twelve and again from 'one to four. The physical strain of this, apart from all mental effort can only be realized by those who have struggled against the. distracting conditions of out-of-door painting. His mastery of tech nlque is so complete it looks the easi est thing In tho world to 'do a Sorolla,' but let those thus deceived try it! "To give one Instance of difficulties to be overcome, I will quote his ex perience In painting two of the most marvellous pictures shown in tho re cent exhibition in Chicago. Thoy rep resent boyB swimming not as mere heads dotting the water, but close. to the spectator, now seen, now disap pearing aB the water laps over them; they Hseem actually to move before one's eyes, and children standing wide-eyed before these canvases invol untarily make similar gestures. "This Is how he did it:' In the first place a rock out in the water was leveled' to, glye sufficient foothold; next holes were drilled in the rock and two poles firmly Inserted to hold the. canvas securely; then bx smaH boys were engaged- to swim.

"It Is interesting to noto that So rolla places small stress on talent; it Is work, work that ho omphasizoB, but with the provision that it must bo dono with enthusiasm to bo dono happily and successfully. In theso days of short-cuts, when too often tho chlof desire Is to obtain tho most from the minimum acquirements, tho example and precopts of this man. who stands hnml ntlrl FtlinillrlitrR nlinVA hla -fa1lnwa-L .. .. . ... ---"" 1 come ns a rerreBMiig contradiction to modern methods. Natural ability Is undoubtedly his, but it would hnvc availed him but little without Ills strong, single mindedncss of purpose, his untiring porsevorence nnd his tre mendous capacity for work." WEBER'S "DIE FEISCIIUTZ" IS OPERA SELECTED BY THE UNI- VERSITY CHORU8 FOR PRESENTATION. Tho university chorus, under the di rection of Mib. Raymond, has bogun preparation for an opern to bo given before tho Matinee Musical club and later will probably be given before a university nudlcnce. InBt year tho chorus gave portions of "Faust" and wece very successful In their work. This year tlie opera is "Dor FrloB chutz" (The Poacher), a romanco by -Weber; It-wlll-jrobably be-ready-byr the flrst( part of April. Soloists of promlnencovwlll assist the choniB and a Inrge orchestra will ronder the music. Any studentB who read music and wish to take part in the production can do so If thoy'begln at once.
