Excellent Cast Ready to Give
Students Final Performance
' of Year
The University Players will close
their lfl21-l!)22 season of six plays
with a three night presentation of
"Grumpy." "Grumpy"will be produced
at the Temple Theatre Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings this
week. The play was chosen because
of it's unusually fine story and splen
did workmanship. It is from the pens
of Horace Hodges and T. Wigney
Tercyval, the two well-known English
dramatics.
This is the celebrated play in which
Cyril Maude originated the part of
an apparently half senile old man
with a crusty exterior, but a wonder
fully kindly nature and the keen wit
and indominable icourage of a Sher
lock Holmes. "Grumpy" is probably
the most expressive name the authors
of this play have chosen for it.
The story deals with the robbery
of a large uncut diamond and the de
tection of the thief through the con
summate shrewdness of the old man.
The robbery takes place in the house
of Mr. Andrew Bullivant, familiarly
called "Grumpy" by his granddaugh
ter, Virginia, and his nephew, Ernest
Heron. The latter is bearing the gem
to his employers in London, and is
about to pass the night in the house
of his uncle. Seated alone In the
siting room after all have retired, he
is mysteriously set upon in the dark
by an unknown assailant, rendered
unconscious and relieved of the valu
able stone. Through a white canielia,
the stem of which has been tied with
a woman's hair, with no other clue
to guide him, the amusing old man,
step by step, traces the perpetrator,
fastens the guilt upon an unsuspected
personage, and in the end makes him
disgorge the gem, and so crowns the
happiness of his nephew and grand
daughter, who love each other.
"Grumpy" is a distinct novelty and
a rare theatrical treat. I tis a sure
cure for the blues generally and for
prumpiness particularly. The New
York Herald said: 'Grumpy' is de
lightful. To see it is to enjoy one of
the best things in the theatre."
The Players are determined to close
their most successful season this year
with a climax of effort. An unusually
strong cast has been selected. The
l"ad"Grumpy" is being handled in
superlative fashion by Mr. Neil Brown
who was so thoroughly enjoyed in
"What Every Woman Knows." The
demands of the part are great, it being
fne of the longest leads in presen'
'lay dninia. Virginia is played by
Lucille Foster who will be remem
bered for her work in "The Tailor
Made Man." Floyd Johnson, the Ma
Rep of "Seven Keys to Baldpate' will
be seen as Jarvis. Hart Jenks, who
has appeared in ma?:y pails since join-
ollently chofen. It consists of Marip
hig of Players will be seen In the role
of Earnest.
The remainder of the cast Is as ex
cellent!) chosen. It consists om Marie
Mills, Viola LoosbrocV, Herbert Yennd,
Bavid Lindstrom, Lloyd Streeter and
John Dawson.
Xow that the Orpheum has closed
Its vaudeville season and there seem3
to be a dirth of road shows. The Play
r'i feel that in producing Mich fine
things as "Grumpy" and the other
Mays which they have given this seas
on they are doing their share of keep
ing the legitimate drama available
for students of the University and the
theatre going public of Lincoln. It
remains to be seen whether or not
moving pictures will eventually be
OQe the only form of theatre enter
tainment left. The Players need your
support to help them carry on their
Purpoge. Besides this, the Players
offer you a thoroughly enjoyable even
ing with "Grumpy". The doors are
Ien at 7:30 and the curtain will rise
Promptly at 8:20. Don't miss this
Plendid play. Tickets may be seemed

Captain Hartley Sends Out Call
For More Men For Daily
Grid Practice
COACHES DAY Ah.
YOUNG P Li T WORK
Fundamental of Football Being
Drilled Into Candidates
For 1922 Team
The Cornhusker spring football
squad has been holding strenuous
workouts on the athletic field daily
under the direction of coaches Bill
Day and Farley Young, who are drill
ing the candidates without letup. The
squad has dwindled to a bare eighteen
or twenty men instead of the fifty or
sixty who should be out daily. The
work is being severely hampered by
the large number of varsity gridsters
who are not reporting.
The men who are out for practice
daily include Captain - elect Chick
Hartley, Wenke, Pete Preston, Ber
quist, Sclioeppel, Sherer, Klempke,
Peterson', Henry, Addison, Herb De
wit z, Rufus DeWitz, McAllister, Ror
by, Packer, Phalen, Packer, Halbers
leben, Spies, Ilinnan, Shainholtz and
Cameron.
The coaches are devoting the work
outs to the drilling of the fundamen
tals of the gridiron sport. Tackling
the dummy, charging, backfield step
ping and duckwalking are forming a
part of the workouts. Scrimmaging
has also been a feature of the recent
practices. All the fundamentals are
being stressed now so that they can
be dispensed with in the fall work
outs. The necessity for a strenuous spring
training period at Nebraska is shown
by the fact that at all the colleges a
stiff spring training is being held
At Kansas University, Nebraska's
time-honored foe on the gridiron, hard
practice is being held, which is fea
tured by a scrimmage game every
Saturday. Notre Dame, Turkey Day
adversary next year, has a spring
training squad consisting of a hun
dred enthusiastic grid men.
HUSKER NET TEAM
WINS FIRST MEET
Tennis Team Opens the Season
With Victory Over City
Team Yesterday
The University of Nebraska tenni3
team opened the season yesterday
with a victory over the Lincoln city
te;im in a dual meet. The Huskers
copped three out of the four single
matches and one of the two double
matches. The feature of the meet
was the Russell and Skallherg vs. Ar-
cherd and McProud doubles match
The University Place stars won only
after a hard fight, the score of the
sets being 17-15, 0-6, 6-3.
In the singles, the Husker Philip
pino Btar, Conrado LImjoco, defeated
Don Elliott in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3
Bob Russell of tho Cornhuskers also
won his singles match, defeating Ced
Poiter, 7-5, 6-2. Crawford was victor
ious over Gregg McBride, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
Dean McProud was the only city team
man to win in the singles, defeating
Minor Skallberg, 6 4, 6-2.
Limjoco and Crawford, the other
Husker doubles team, copped the
match with Potter and Fullaway after
hard fight. The matches wers
slowed up considerable because the
players have not yet rounded into
mid-season form and because
courts are still somewhot soft.

GREEK PHOTOGRAPHS

An exhibition of photographs of
Greece are now on display in the art

TWEHTY
Ags Show Lots Of Pep Preparing
For Famous Fair To Come May 6
From the way those two hundred
from the standpoint of the Ags, a bus
ness in separate committee meetings
utter the peppy mass meeting Tues
day night, the Farmers Fair will be
a success. But above all it will be,
from the stanrpoint of the Ags ( a bus
iness proposition managed on a busi
ness like basis. An office will be
opened this week in the Y. M. C. A.
room of Ag Hull for use of the entire
college In making arrangements for
the fair.
The parade, bigger and better than
last year, will pass through O Street
at noon of May 6 as an attraction and
inducement to every onlooker to come
and enjoy the afternoon and evening
on Ag Campus. Plans for tho wildest
kind of a wild west show are very
nearly completed. Plenty of bronks
have been secured. Several steers
are Bpoken for. The one difficulty
confronting the committee is the lack
of two ar three days time to accom
modate the large number of entries.
The Home Economic girls are to
be seen every evening now practic
ing their pageant out of doors and
from all indications gathered through
casual observation the pageant will
be a beautifully staged costume enter
tainment that will even surpass the
envious reputation of these girls as
first-class entertainers.
The Midway carnival shows will in
clude all the novelties and freaks of
the age. The ingenuity and original
ity of the Ags has never before been
tested and taxed to such an extreme
but suffice it to say both faculties are
still intact.
The Snorpheum, that show com
pany that makes its debut May 6, has
already a program of the lightest of
the light fantastic combined with the
seriousness of the snappiest mixed
chorus ever assembled behind one row
of foot lights. The tumblers and the
comedians will contrast with the real
Ag quartette in furnishing the variety
for the show. A minstrel show of
forty five minutes length guarantees
right now a handsome prize to any
man, his wife are child who can stay
the full time without breaking their
shoe strings with laughter.
A great barbeque that will feed the
thousands will be served at the reg
ular dinner hour. The roast will be
prepared by expert chefs and from
the prize steers of the fine herd that
the College maintains.

BANQUET
Conflict in Dates Results in the
Change For Big Mystery
Program
Too much competition from other
events already scheduled for the night
of April 27 has resulted in a change
of the most important and most looked
for event to Thursday May 4 when all
of the students of the College of Arts
and Sciences will gather at the Cham
ber of Commerce for a banquet, and
the entertaining program which Is to
remain a mystery until that night
Only a limited number of tickets
will be sold, the Chamber of Commerce
is not large enough to seat and feed
the number of people who will want
tickets to this affair. A number of
students will cover the campus in a
concentrated ticket sale and tickets
for as many students as can be taken
care of will be sold.
Students of the college of Arts and
Sciences iave for Jmany years la
mented the fact that the other and
smaller colleges on the campus have
always had a closer organization
and a better group spirit than the
students of the largest colleges.
Efforts are now being made to re-
ieve this ancient situation by a big
gettogether banquet by which the
students of this college will be able
to meet each other both the men and
the women for the College of Arts,
and Sciences.
Professor C. W. Taylor of the
Teachers College will speak at tho
Superior Commercial Club Fri. noon.

ing will entertain you all. The best
orchestras of the country will be se
cured. No stone will be left unturned
to make this feature a high class af
fair. No one need go wandering about
the campus this year without a place
(to go. Guide books are being printed
that will contain anions other things
a map of the campus and the compute
program of the day.
The campus of Agricultural College
in itself is one of the attractivo spot3
of Lincoln. The buildings are filled
with attractive, interesting and in
structive educational exhibits such as
very few institutions possess. Every
building of the campus will he open
that afternoon and evening with stu
dents in the laboratories at their
work demonstrating sonio of the lab
oratory exercises carried on by stu
dents of the college. This is the main
purpose of the fair and special efforts
are being made this year to make this
phase a success.
