"A Message from Mars" at the Ol iver tlieater Saturday night, which was the crowning ovent of Junior Week, proved a grand success. It was undoubtedly tho most stupendu ous undertaking of Its kind ever at tempted at Nebraska, and tno largo audience boro testimony of Its ap preciation by much applause. The play Itself Is a strong cine, with a great moral. Still It is brought out in a way that causes laughter. Tho most amusing part is that of tho skeptical Horace Parker, who is reajly with a cynical reply to any protest or admonishing, whllo his predicaments meet with no sympathy except from himself. . As an amateur performance it would bo hard to equal, and tho character dolineation from thoniosthnnortant Id" the" more, minor parts was excel lent. Coach Scott is certainly to be congratulated on the production. W. L. Bates in tho role of Horaco Parker made a good cynical philosopher who could see nothing but hiinself"und was J more than anxious to make amends as soon as convinced- that he was wrong. Good Acting. Dalo Boylos enme in for his share of the applause, In portraying the Tramp, and his acting was tho best of tho evening. Hazel Johnson mado a pleasing Mary Templar, and Ella M. Wilson as Miss Martha Parker acted the old maid well. Arthur Dlcoy, tho bright man of society with no particular aim in Hfo, was most fittingly takon by Searlo IIolmeB. JnmeB E. Ellis was tho Messenger and did well In portraying the mystic personage from Mars who had come with a task to perform. Bella, tho servant, was most aptly takdn by Eula Bates. Those taking the minor . parts were equally as good as Vhe principals. Tho scenery was as good as thai used by any professional company, and the effects wore most pleasing. Financially tho play was a success. Tho committee in charge was: Henry P. Wunder, chairman and general manager; Ernest H. Graves, business manager; Clarenco L. Clark, stage manager; and Hazel Johnson, Mildred Bevlns, Dale S. Boyles. Cast of Characters. Mary Templar Hazel Johnson Miss Martha Parker. .Ella M.

He also told tho students of tho groat opportunities beforo them Ttnd-BniatlUlt Work with ono'a utmoBt energy was the only way to Improve them. Champ Clark Liked. Champ Clark's gait and manner of speech made an immense hit with the crowd. It was somo mlnuteB beforo ho could begin. Mr. Clark advlsod all tho men to go Into politics, far enough any way to know how and why he was voting. Ho said this talk of pdbllc men nil becoming corrupt wns Blander. Thero is no reason why tho politician should not be as honest as any other man. Mr. cWk's address contained a good deal of humor and his talk was much enjoyed. Calls for Bryan. Calls for Mr. Bryan brought him forward, though ho siild ho did not wish to apeak. Ho had enjoyed listen ing to tho addrcsHcs.
