ILEGE OF CHORU 8 PRACTICE
REHEARSAL MONDAY EVENINGS
Many Have Been Deprived of Chorus
Practice By Drill New Class
to Permit More To
Register.
Men taking military work will be
permitted to take chorus next Bemes
ter b an innovation just Introduced
.by Mrs. Raymond. ThiB is to be a
special rehearsal at 7 o'clock each
Monday eenlng for all those who
can not be present at the Monday and
Wednesday 5:00 o'clock rehearsals.
However, this will not excuse those
taking it from the Friday afternoon
chorus practice or special programs
which still count as absences.
There will still be a limited num
ber of men who may substitute the
Monday and Wednesday chorus for
drill on those days, but formerly this
number was too small to mean that
any reasonable number of men could
enjoy the privilege of instruction un
der Mrs. Raymond. The new rehear
sal on Monday night will remedy this
and will probably Induce a largo num
ber of men to register for this tvork
the coming semester.
Those desiring to' register for this
instruction, which allows one hour uni
versity credit, should consult Mrs.
Raymond from 4 to 5 o'clock on Mon
day, Wednesday or Friday of next
week. If it is impossible to see her
.at these hours, a special appointment
may be made by calling hor at her

for Degree of Ph.D., On Subject
of "Court Masques of James I
HAD INFLUENCE ON SHAKESPERE
"Court Masques of James I" and
their influence on Shakespeare and
the public theatres is the title and
substance of a new monographlcal
work prepared by Miss Mary E. Sulli
van and presented to the Unlveraltj
of Nebraska Graduate College for the
decree of Doctor of Philosophy, this
month.
The "masque," a form of piny upon
which external Influences had a de
cided effect, waB a strong element In
the theatrical world of Ellzabcnan
times and during the reign of James
I. Miss Sullivan has made an exhaus
tive study of the masques of those
times and her thesis contains much
of the original material. Stage ar
rangements, seating of audiences, and
the variou-j small details that go to
make up both private and public the
atrical efforts are includod and all of
these, along with the plots that were
used in presenting the masques, have
a direct Influence on the Shakespear
ean dramas and aid the student in
understanding these masterpieces. It
waB the hope of shedding a little light
on the Shakespearean drama that
Miss Sullivan undertook the work, and
speaking as an authority on Shako
spoare's works, Miss Sullivan states
that she believes that these interest
ing masques had an influence on his
work.
