FIRST PERFORMANCE IN LINCOLN Play Chosen Because of the Pre-eminence of Author and Dramatic Possibilities Replete with Tense Situations. With a little more than a week be fore tho final presentation of "Pillars of Society," the seniors are making ac tlvo preparations to make tlUU Un epoch In the history of University dra matics. The caBt for tho paBt two weeks has been sacrificing most of Its time In tho Interests of tho play, and It Is felt by those in touch with the big ovent that their work on tho after noon and night of Juno 5 will be worthy of their best efforts. Interest In Ibsen. With tho approach of tho perform ance, considerable Interest is being aroused on the campus In Ibsen and his work. "Pillars of Society" was selected first because of the renown and pre-eminence of tho author, and second, because of tho tremendous dramatic possibilities of the play it self. Of nil tho long Hat of Ibsen's colebrated plays there have been none that have commanded more wide spread Ilnterest or received greater ap proval of the theatre-going public than the Pillars. The chief reason for this is found in the number of tense situations that run through tho piece, together with the strength and resolve of the lines. As one famous writer has put it: "The dialogue is extremely simple, torse, natural, forcible, replete with sonority, color and rhythm. Yet It is a stum bling block; beneath the dramatist's sentences are pools of uncertainty." First Performance In Lincoln. Further interest is being shown on account of the fact that this will be tho first production In Lincoln. Two performances will be given Thursday matinee and night, June 6. The ad vance sale of tickets will begin Mon day morning at 9 o'clock at the Oliver box office. Edna Biles is visiting friends in the city. Silver Lynx announces the pledging of Reed B.
