COLLINS TELLS OF
EARLY CATHEDRALS
Assistant Curator of Museum Speaks
On Historic English Buildings
And Architecture
A lecture "An old English Cathe
dral" was given in Morrill hall, Sun
day afternoon, by F. G. Collins, as
sistant curator of the museum. Mr.
Collins lived for several years in
Exeter, England, in which is the his
toric old Exeter cathedral.
The Exeter cathedral took several
centuries for its completion. Addi
tions were made from time to time,
and several types of architecture
were used. Examples of the Nor
man, Early English, Decorated, and
Perpendicular types of arhitecture
are to be found in this fine old edi
fice. Old documents, which contain the
grant to build the cathedral, are pre
served to this day. These are signed
by Edward the Confessor, Earl Har
old, and others whose names are
found in early English history. The
fabric rolls or expense accounts of
the church are still preserved. The
expenditures of the church for hun
dreds of years are recorded on these
rolls.
Mr. Collins stated that the cathe
dral has always played an important
role in the lives of the people who
lived near it. The curfew bell, some
seven hundred years old, is still in
use rnd is obeyed by the people of
the town.
Another lecture, the topic of which
will be announced, will be given in
Morrill hall next Sunday afternoon.

CARRIE B. RAYMOND

Musical Director for Many Years
Succumbs to Heart Disease
After Month's Illness
Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond, for many
years a member of the University of

PLAYERS GIVE
COMEDY FARCE
"Alias the Deacon" to Be
Staged in Temple Octo
ber 6, 7 and 8
COMMENTS FAVORABLE)
"Alias the Deacon," successful
comedy farce which ran for 250
nights in New York, will be presen
ted by the University Players Octo
ber 6, 7, and 8, inclusive, in the
Temple Theatre. Eastern press com
ment haa characterized this farce as
a gold mint of entertainment, and
full of rich humor.
The action starts off immediately,
and grips interest at the outset with
the unusual prologue which takes
place in a box car travelling across
tho country. There are three hoboes,
one a girl in disguise, and a smooth
card-shark, addressed by his associa
tes as the "Deacon," who is the ma
jor laugh producer throughout the
whole play. It is this supposedly in
nocent "Deacon" that assumes ig
norance at poker and bridge, and
consequently cunningly fleeces his
victims out of their bank rolls, even
while he makes nil sorts of ludicrous
mistakes, but holds miraculous hands.
The love affair of the mysterious
girl of the box car, with one of the
other members of the "Deacon's"
crowd, furnishes the theme for ex
citing action, involving a prize fight,
a missing wallet, and the capture of
a notorious murderer, when the ac
tion switches to a town in Act I. It
is at the point where complications
are at the seething point, that the
bland "Deacon" arrives, and with
his customary and admirable smooth
ness, manages to straighten out the
tangles he finds in the town, by
fleecing everyone he gets involved
in a game of cards.
Interesting Plot
It is this lovable, though unscrup
ulous card-shark, the "Deacon," that
smoothes out matters for Phillis, the
girl, and her lover, captures a mur
