JUNIOR - PLAY BOUND TO
- CREATE JIN IMPRESSION
HAS EFFECT ON THOSE WHO
TAKE PART IN PRODUCTION.
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.

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

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. In-relays

As soon as one. set became tirer aa-

continued until the painting 'was fin
ished, tho nrtlst working at white
heut from modelB In constant motion.
"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

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. Mrs. Raymond can bo seen
at rehearsals, which take place Mon
days and Wednesdays at 5 p. m., in
