PROLOGUE IS FEATURE OF "SMILIN' THROUGH" "Smilin' Through," the great com edy success by Allan Longdon Mar tin will be presented y the Univer sity Flayers Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at the Temple thea ter. The cast 1s led by Lewellen Hawley, Mrs. Carlisle Logan-Jones, ahd Harte Jenks, the latter two tak ing double roles. "Smilin' Through" is exoected by the players to be one of the most pop ular plays presented this year. It is a delightful, whimsical comedy, carrying with it a significant lesson without losing its interest as a play and becoming in any sense of the, word a preachment, say members of the cast. It deals with a young Irish girl who has fallen in love with the Bon of the man whom her uncle, with whom nlie lives, hates worse than any one else in the world. Just as the young man is off for war, the uncle forbids them ever seeing one another again. Then memory steps in; he lives over again the years of his life which the father of the boy lived, and in living them, sees the error of his way, forgives the couple and, in so doing finds the happiness he never has been able to find before. One of the exceptional features of "Smilin' Through" is the manner in which the play starts, the so-called prologue being the only thing of its sort on the American stage today. Its record in New York, Chicago and San Francisco is one of long sue cessful runs, and advance seat sales indicate that the production here February 7, 8 and 9, will be well at tended.

"There is also a larger numbeT of girls than ever before who find it necessary to work in private homes in order to stay in school.

HERTZLER SPEAKS ON RISE OF SOCIAL ORDER Professor Tells Freshman Lec ture Students Changes Are Still Going On. "Discoveries of relics left behind by prehistoric man have given a fair conception of social life in prehis toric ages. The beginnings of the rise of social order are shrouded in the mistiness of hundreds of thous ands of years in the past and only by studying the Temains of primitive man are we able to glean informa tion of his social life," said Prof. J. O. Hertzler to the freshman lecture class, speaking on the subject "Rise of Social Order," Monday evening and Tuesday morning. "The social order has changed in the past, and will change continually in the future. The question is whether man can control the future changes wisely, and it is the work of the so ciologist to watch the changes in the social order and seek to give a rea sonable amount of direction in order that the mistakes of the past may not be repeated." These early signs found in the excavated relics show that man was concerned with procuring food, with warfare, and also that "he bad a re ligious life, Professor Hertzler said. There is also an evidence of speciali zation in work. The man who would chip a flint best was given that work to do for the rest. The artistic nature of man is seen in drawings of animals now known on the walls of caves, and of achieve ments in the chase and battle. The primitive painters liked to take wo men for subjects just as the modern artists do, Professor Hertzler said.
