SCHOOL OF DRAMA
JVILL GIVE PLAY
"Ghosts," Ibsen's Dramatic Master,
piece, to Be Given Thursday ,
the Twentieth
The University School of Drama will
give, on Thursday evening, May 20,
Ibsen's "Ghosts." Some time ago it
was announced that the School of
Drama would give a performance
every month, but owing to the difficul
ties of starting the new school, and
the high standard of excellence de
sired, only one performance previous
to this has been given.
The cast has been at work on this
play since the first of the year, giving
almost the whole class time to this
one production. Prof. Paul H. Grum
mann has given much work to the
interpretative side of this play, which
is considered not only as one of Ib
sen's best, but also as one of the
epoch-making ' plays of the century.
Lincoln audiences are rarely favored
with a dramatic treat of the type that
this performance promises to be, and
although it is now being played suc
cessfully in New York City, it has not
been played on the road since Mary
Shaw brought it to Lincoln about five
years ago. People who have been
wondering Just what a school of
drama is, devoted to an intensive
study of great contemporary drama
with an eye to its artistic representa
tion, will be answered by so ambitious
a production as "Ghosts."
The cast is:
Mrs. Alving Essie Jones
Oswald Alving Maurice Clark
Pastor Manders Harold Campbell
Ogina Louise Dobbs
Engstrand Fred Bobcock

WILL PLAY BAKER
BAKER UNIVERSITY TRIO HERE

Baker Men Are Out for the Inter
collegiate Championship of Ne
braskaHave Made a
Northern Trip

the trio of players representing Baker
University this morning at the Coun
try Club.
The visitors have been on a north
ern trip and will seek to take the in
tercollegiate championship of Nebras
ka to Kansas with them. Nebraska,
by defeating Bellevue College last
Saturday, demonstrated her superior
ity over the other colleges of the state.
Bellevue won from Creighton Univer
sity Friday in both singles and
doubles, and Nebraska, represented by
Captain Ellis, Chatt, and France, won
every match from the Presbyterians
the following day. Ellis won from,
Kenner, 8-6 and 7-5. France defeated

taking three matches out of four.
Ellis defeated Thompson 6-4 and 6-3.

6- 1. France lost to Cassiday, 7-5 and
7- 5. Ellis and Chatt won in doubles,

exceptionally fine courts and proved
to be royal entertainers.
Bellevue College, with fifty students,
have six good tennis courts, in con
trast to Nebraska University which
boasts of over three thousand students
and at least should be ashamed to ad
mit that she keeps but two courts for
the privilege of her students.
The tournament with Baker Univer
sity wil start at ten o'clock. Two
singles matches and one doubles
match will be played.
TEACHERS FAIL ON
JiGLISH QUESTIONS
One-Third Failed on the State Teach,
ers' English Composition Examina
tion One Grade Above Ninety
Out of one hundred and eighty pa
pers sent in from the state teachers
examination in English composition,
about one-third failed to pass, while
only one received a nyirk above nine
ty. This seems to have been due, at
least In part, to the fact that one of
the questions asked for an account of
all rhetoric and English literature
taken.
There was but one wio had taken
Rhetoric 1 and 2 in the University,
and it was the one receiving the grade
of ninety -two. Hence it will be noted
by all Freshmen who come to school
at 12:01 on Saturday to deliver
themes that at last some material use
has been found for this work and their
efforts have not been in vain.
Notice
There will be no football practice
this afternoon on account of the girls'
track meet -
