"Monsieur Beaucaire" Is probably the best known play from the pen of Booth Tarkington, Nebraska's most popular playwright.

In plot, it deals with the adventures incognito of the Duke de L Orleans in the courtly society of Bath, Eng land, In the seventeenth century. In "Monsieur Beaucaire" as In "The Man From Home," and others from his pen, Tarkington has striven to point out to us by homely incident and appeals to our better Instincts the shallowness and worthlessness of appearances. Briefly, the story is as follows: The Duke de L' Orleans (Leon Snyder), escapes from a country estate, where he has been exiled by the wrath of his cousin, the King of Prance, and gets passage to England as the lackey of the French ambassador.

EXHIBITION DRILL OHJTHLETIC FIELD Execution of Butt's Manual to Band Music Pleases Spectators Major Commends the Officers The Annual Government Inspection of the Cadet Regiment, which was held on the athletic field Friday, was one of the most successful Inspections that the University Regiment has ever experienced. The inspection was made by Major Andrew Moses of the College Inspection Board of the Gen eral Army Staff of Washington, D. C It is expected that his official report will be very satisfactory for the Uni versity. In calling the officers together after the battle maneuver, Major Moses said, "You are playing the game hard and you are playing it right." He also stated thafthose who understand mili tary affairs and had held commissions as officers would be in demand by the government in event of war, and would be placed immediately at the head of companies and battalions in the field. The assembly was promptly affected at 2:00 p. m. and the regiment was led by the band to the athletic field, where Colonel Fowler ordered the regiment to pass in review. After the review the battalions were assembled in column of companies and the in spection was started. Major Moses made a very thorough inspection, after which the work was divided into several parts. Company G performed guard duty, Companies E and F per formed bayonet exercise. The First battalion, under Major Harley, ex ecuted a variety of movements in bat talion close order drill. The Third battalion, under Major Allison, ex ecuted Butt's Manual to band music. This was commented on by many of the spectators as the most pleasing exhibition of the afternoon. At 3:00 p. mt the regiment was di vided into an offensive and defensive party and marched north of the Hay ward school. After a short field ma neuver and a talk by Major Moses, the regiment was marched to the Armory for dismissal.

GIVEN HOME PERFORMANCE OF PROF. SCOTT'S TROUPE AT TEMPLE ORPHEUM-LIKE BILL IS GOOD Well-Filled House Applaud Work of Students Musical Comedy Play let Ends Enjoyably Even ing's Entertainment The home entertainment of the Uni versity Road Show was given Friday evening at the Temple Theatre to a well-filled house of University stu dents. This was the fourth performance of this program and showed the careful preparation and attention which was given it by the cast and coach. Pro fessor Scott deserves much praise for the admirable work done by his stu dents. The program, which made a decided hit during University Week, was arranged by Professor Scott and the last act was written by him. A tumbling act by "Dick" Ruther ford and Phil Southwick opened the bill. Their act was representative of the work done in the Physical Edu cation department and was freely ap plauded. Rutherford was suffering from an injured arm but it was made unnotlceable by his superb muscle con trol. Miss Charlotte Sixta played a violin solo for the second act and the audi ence compelled her to play again and again. A dramatic act, entitled, "The Lit tlest Girl," was presented by Ralph Northrup as Van Bibber and Orville Chatt as Caruthers. This act has proven a success upon the Orpheum and its interpretation by Messrs. North rup and Chatt was all that could be desired. The quartet, consisting of Warner.

It will not be possible in the half hour to give the complete symphony but it will acord students an opportunity to be come familiar with the music before they hear it given by the full orchestra of sixty pieces at the May Festival. The seventh symphony is one of the most Dowerful of the nine. Much had happened in Beethoven's life since he wrote the Pastoral symphony. His en gagement with the Countess Theresa Brunswick had been broken off. his deafness had become very serious, much of his work had been received verv critically. To Just what extent these Influences affected his music, it Is, of course, Impossible to say, but the mental image raised by No. is. as Grave says, larger than that of any of its predecessors. Beethoven rarely praised or blamed his own com positions but he referred to this one twice as one of his best works.

T E TRACK TEAM TAKES PRACTICE MEET FROM COYOTES SIXTY-FOUR TO FIFTY-THREE. Work of Husker Sprinters Features Wesleyan Strong In Field Events Scott, Goetze and Corey In dividual Point Makers The Husker track squad made Its 'first public appearance at University Place, Friday afternoon, in competition with the Wesleyan team before a stand-full of yellow and brown sup porters, and a sprinkling of "State guys." ' The meet, which is an annual event scheduled with the purpose in mind of affording the squad its first taste of outside competition and preparing it for valley meets to come, served its purpose well, the Methodist team showing up strong in the field events and taking two or three firsts on the track. The weather handicapped the ath letes greatly, being especially opposed to any display of fast time by the sprinters and distance men, which made the work of the Husker short- distance men, Scott, Zumwinkle, Bates and Irwin In the face of a swift and dust-laden wind the feature of the meet. In the half-mile relay an al most impromptu event Nebraska fairly ran away from the Sunflower athletes. Prior to the relay Scott and Irwin had taken both places In the hundred; Scott and Zumwinkle first and second in the two-twenty; and Bates first In the four-forty, Captain Zumwinkle not running in the latter event. Goetze, a new man at the hurdles, took first in both the high and low events. Corey ran away with the hammer throw, hurling it an even 148 feet, thereby surprising the Wes leyan supporters who had supreme confidence in their corpulent repre sentative, Lesh. Scott in the 100, 220, and relay, scored, most of Nebraska's points and on this basis was the individual point- maker of the day. Corey scored eleven of the Husker's points first in the hammer throw, second in the shot put and discus. Goetze added ten points to Nebraska's total by taking first place in the two hurdle events.
