THE DAILY NEBRASKAN 3 Lots of pep this week. One of the best lineups in entertainment that Lincoln theater goers have had in a long time. By the way, "it's too late now, but those who missed the opportunity to see "The Barker'V missed one of the best plays and some 0f the finest acting that has ever been seen in any theater in Lincoln. At the) Lincoln It will not be a habit of this writer to praise a program that does not. at least have some thing that is out standing or worth while. The pro am at the Lincoln is one of the best if not the best, that has been offered there since the "Deluxe" shows were introduced. Jane Decker can really dance. She does everything that any good dan cer does and throws in a few extra steps for good measure. Martin and Mayo are clowns whose capers are not exactly original, but clever enough to get some good laughs. Their partner, Miss Tweedie sings and dances. The best is left. Ed (Who acts as master of ceremonies) and Morton Beck are two singing funsters that will make you chuckle in i spite of your mood. To the average youth the fore part of the feature "After midnight," might not seem exactly natural. It is the story of a really "good" girl, who is able to brush aside all tempta tion in pursuit of an ideal that is temporarily lost. Norma Shearer, in the role of Mary, is her usual sweet self. The way in which she succumbs to the temptation of the dazzling life "After midnight," the actions of a wayward sister, mixed with a ro mance that has a unique beginning and an attractive movement, forms a very interesting chapter in the life of this cigarette girl.

At th Orpheum. The Orpheum is more than main taining the high standard of latest film successes Bhown there in the last two weeks, by bringing to Lincoln Mary Pickford's latest picture, "My Best Girl." Pickford fans have an opportunity to see her in one of the best works of her career. After you see "My Best Girl," you'll know why she is called "America's sweetheart"; and girls, the new leading man is per fection, physically, perhaps one of the most handsome actors in f ilmdom. "My Best Girl" is the story of a poor girl who falls in love with a boy who's station in life is very much higher than her own. The girl, how ever, is unaware of the fact that he is the son of her millionaire employ er. The little love scenes and their complications are absolutely real These, with Maggie's family, succeed in depicting one of the most natural human interest st r?es ever flashed upon the screen. The picture is1 crowded with whole some humor, with a few little drama tic touches that will bring a catch to your throat. A rare combination that is 'just right." With news and a Hal Roach gang comedy, this prog ram will please, well, it should please everybody. At the Liberty. If you are a "one show a week person, by all means make this week "Liberty" week. If the reaction of a select group of first nighters can be taken as an indication of the qual ity of a show, than "Mary's Other Husband" is by far the best play that Mr. TVatkin has offered to Lin coln audiences. Monday nights' ca pacity house was kept in a continual uproar of laughter. If you can im agine a proud young wife whose 'im agination is very elastic, boasting about her wonderful home with all its elaborate furnishings and her troupe of servants; the uncle to whom she has told all this, making an unex pected call; the husband playing the role of the butler; another man sub stituted for the husband; a burglar stealing the borrowed furnishings;- and the baby. If you can imagine all this with the humorous complications that would naturally arise, then you will know why '.he audience Monday night Taughed loud and long. The, play is direct from broaiway, and Mr. Watkin, M;ss Dulcie Cooper of Hollywood, California, who was formerly Charles Ray's leading lady, now leading lady here, and the new leading man, Mr. John Glynn McFar lane, must be given cr?dit for putting it over in a "Broadway fashion."

I Their supporting caste is exception ally strong. With the usual musical charm of "The Revelers," you have an eve ning's entertainment, that you can not afford to miss. We made quite a long trip over the week end to see the Messrs Shu berts' new production, or rather their new version of the old produc tion "Blossom Time" in order to be able to tell Lincoln folks whether or not it had lost any of its charm. It has not. For though the piece has been changed a bit, the haunting melodies of the industrious Schubert, a sensitive love story and delightful comedy altogether a combination that is equal to and in some instances superior to the lovely operetta that has so often been warmly welcomed to Lincoln in the past. If you have not seen "Blossom Time," or desire to see it again, this, according to managerial announcement, is your last chance. To those who will be privileged to see it, during its short stay in Lin coln, we can only say, "You will not be disappointed." At the Rialto. The story of the life of Jesse James, enacted by Fred Thompson, has plenty of action. You will see all of Thompson's old tricks and a few new ones. At the Colonial. "Tell it to Sweeney" is a railroad story, with a mirth-provoking comedy team Conklin and Bancroft. By Al. CYCLONES GET SET FOR BULLDOG GAME Coach Workman Considers Drake Most Dangerous Opponent Since Nebraska Ames, Iowa, Nov. 1 Special: Scheduled to face the best running attack since the first game with Ne braska, Iowa State is settling down for a week of intensive drill for the game with the Drake Bulldogs at Des Moines Saturday. Coach Work man has intimated that the Buttdo'gs will be one of the hardest teams that the Cyclones have to face. In spite of reverses the Drake team has proved the equal of Pittsburgh and the Navy in power of running at tack, and will present a stronger driving offense than Illinois, in the opinion of the Cyclone coaches. Backfield la Powerful In Cockayne, Barnes, Myers and Cook the Bulldogs have plenty of backfield power, which with the fact that it will be the Drake homecom ing game, with Iowa State, her old rival, and that Drake has been get ting better in spite of setbacks, will make it a hard afternoon for the Cyclones, is the belief of the Iowa State coaches. Although the no scouting rule prevents the Cyclone mentors from knowing what the Bulldogs have, press statistics of the game show that Drake is strong. Few Injuries in Kansas State Game With the exception of Burton, right end, the Iowa State team came through the 12 to 7 victory over Kansas State in good shaDe. Burton's sprained ankle may not keep him out of the game Saturday, but in scrimmage sessions Rudi, reformed fullback is taking care of the right wing. The coaches are satisfied with Rudi's playing in the Aggie game. Monday two new plays were given out, pointing toward the Drake game, and in addition the old plays re ceived considerable renovation. The latter part of the week will be taken up with defensive work aimed at stopping the Bulldogs' hard driving backfield.

HIEDALS AWARDED FOR SCHOLARSHIP Eight Students at Iowa State Honored for Scholastic Attainment Ames, Iowa, Nov. 1 Special: Ei .ht Iowa State collt'.je students who made the highest scholastic re cords in the different divisions and classes of the college last year, to day are wearing medals, emblematic of the'r achievement, which were presented to them this morning in an all-college convocation by R. M. Hughes, president of the college. Medals and certificates were awarded to five sophomores, one from each of the five divisions of the col lege, who made the highest grades in their respective divisions during their freshman year. Similar awards were given to the sophomore and junior of last year who ranked high est, to the sophomore who made the best record last year in freshman chemistry and to the athlete among last year's freshmen who made the best grades. Freshmen At Creighton Are Proud of Caps Omaha, Nebraska, Nov. 1 Off again, on again! That's the story of the green and black freshman cap at Creighton university, where the wearing of the headpiece was abolish ed by the student board of control this fall as a means 'of promoting democracy and harmony on the cam pus. Scarcely had the cap been ordered off the heads of the freshmen when the sophomore class met and de cided that this year's crop of new comers should receive the same treatment which was accorded Creighton freshmen last year. So the sopohomores voted to buy caps and make the freshmen wear them. Freshmen Like Caps A struggle was expected until the freshmen themselves met and de cided that they liked the caps, be cause they wanted to be known as yearlings. So, while campus onlook ers rubbed their eyes in amazement, the freshmen scrambled for the caps donned them proudly and strutted about the campus with them perched high on their heads. And now they are saying at Creighton that if hazing were per mitted at the Omaha institution, the freshmen would clamor for it. Upperclassmen Speak At Freshmen Meeting Merle Jones, president of the In nocents, Thomas Elliott, basketball captain and chairman of the freshman-sophomore Olympics, and Ken neth Morrison, freshman president, were speakers at a meetiner of the freshman class held in Social Scien ces auditorium Tuesday night.
