PLAYERS GIVE
MYSTERY PLAY
FORFIRSTTIME
"The Black Flamingo" at Pre
,ented I Well Received
By University Audience
TWENTY ARE IN CAST
Ray Ramsay, Gertrude Rowe,
Ramay and Schmitt Have
Leading Roles
"The Black Flamingo" thrilling
mystery play ot the French Revolu
tion presented by the University
Players for the first time Thursday
evening, registered an unespected
triumph, and looks like the best
thing presented by the Players this
season. The play, written by Sam
Janney, contains all the elements
that are necessary for an unusual
mystery story, and in addition has a
sombre atmosphere of the unearthly
that adds to the suspense.
A cast of twenty players took part
in the production, notable among
them being El wood Ramay in the
role of Bourien, swashbucking, cun
ning and superstitutious thief eager
to rob the aristocrats of their
wealth. Mr. Ramay's performance
stood out as one of the most distinc
tive of the play. Ray Ramsay as the
pseudo priest and outcast noble
added an unusual angle to the piled
up mystery of the play with his un
canny power which is believed to be
magic. Supplying a high comedy
relief, Herbert Yenne as the femin
ine and vain Popo, kept the audi
ence in a continuous state of laugh
ter with his ridiculous speech and af
fected manner. The leads, Gertrude
Rowe as Diana de Lussac and Cecil
Schmitt as Trigaud, the wandering
violinist, carried their parts with dig
nity and distinction. A blood-thirsty
crowd of revolutionists acted their
minor roles with much realism.
Play Given by Content
A diamond necklace, the property
of Marie Antoinette, is the basis of
the complicated plot that gradually
rolls up a chain of circumstances that
baffle the audience. The queer ar
rangement of the setting of the play
nriHs much to the atmosohere. A
strong element of the supernatural,
plus a realistic storm, and a fireplace
supposed to be guarded by an evil
spirit are all parts of the tangled
plot, that is not finally straightened
out until the final act
The play is eiven in the costumes
of the period 1789, the action taking
place July 15, immediately following
the fall of the Bastille. The Inn of
the Black Flamingo, to which various
aristocrats, some in disguise, arrive,
forms the scene of the action.
The play is presented here by the
special consent of the author, Sam

" 'the world stands aside to let that

not so necessary today to make sure
that the field is open to women vo
cations are open to women in every

but merely entering a vocation.
Studyits specifications and then de
cide whether you have the ability or

'ALL AC COUNCIL

Hedges and Marcott Her J "-ommittee
To Meet with Horn, cc to
Formulate Plant
The possibilities of an "AU-Ag"
council, plans for presentation of
medals to judging teams, and a Home
Ec ekit were the matters considered
at an Ag Club meeting held Wednes
day evening, January 11.
Plans for an all ag council com'
posed the greater part of the discus
sion at the meeting. Opinions brought
out at the meeting seemed to be that
the College of Agriculture needs a
small group of representative people,
from both the Home Ec Club and the
Ag Club, who will consider the prob
lems of the College of Agriculture.
It was generally agreed that this
council would work in cooperation
with these two clubs rather than re
place them.

SQUAD MORALE IMPROVES
Basket Shooting and Passing
Are More Accurate Than
Earlier in Week
Nine men who will make the trip
to Des Moines for the games there
Saturday were named by Coach
Charley Black after the practice ses
sion Thursday. Captain Tom Elliott,
"Jug" Brown, "Dutch" Witte, Har
vey Grace, Elmer Holm, Bob Krall,
Carl Olson, Kenny Othmer, and Bob
Gohde were selected to make the
journey to the Drake camp and will
leave this afternoon at 4:15 o'clock
via the Rock Island.
The squad named is smaller than
usual as twelve men made the first
trip to Missouri and Washington.
With Carleton Freas, senior man
ager, and Coach Black, the nine mem
bers will pull out for the Bulldog
stronghold after a short practice
drill Friday afternoon.
Thursday's game with the year
ling outfit found the Varsity in bet
ter spirits and possessing more fight
than they evidenced in the Wednes
day workout. Basket shooting was
much more accurate and the passing
game was much improved. The mor
ale of the squad also underwent a
change for the better and the Bus
kers will pull out for Drake in ex
cellent moral and physical condition.
Many Freshmen Out
Kimball, freshman center, worked
with the Varsity reserves for a few
minutes and turned in a good game
at the pivot position. Although
shorter, he took the tip-off from
Munn several times. Horace Jones,
ex-captain of basketball at Omaha
Central, came out for freshman prac
tice and looks like a possible can
didate for the first yearling quintet,
according to Bunny Oaken, freshman
basketball coach.
Drake reports indicate that the
Bulldogs are going through extensive
basket and floor drill in preparation
for the Hu'sker invasion Saturday
night. Nebraska and Drake rank alike
in the Valley percentage table, each
having won one game and lost three.
As both teams play in and out bas
