Latest Production of Players
Is Heralded Most Popular
Comedy of Season
JACK RANK HEADS CAST
Miss Gellatiey Has Feminine
Lead Supported by Able
Group of Veterans
The latest New York comedy suc
cess, "Tommy," written by Howard
Lindsay and Bert Robinson, will be
presented by the University Players
for the first time this evening in the
Temple Theatre, and on Friday and
Saturday. "Tommy" is taking one of
its first plunges into stock production,
after having completed long runs in
New York and Chicago, and is prom
ised to be the best comedy of the
season. It is entirely comedy, with
no serious spots to slow up the fun,
and will demonstrate what is bound
to happen when a small town love
triangle gets complicated.
"Tommy," one of the suitors for
the hand of the heroine, and after
whom the play is titled, is the dis
turbing element in the play, causing
as he does the enmity of the girl's
parents, who enter the lists in favor
of the other suitor. When the girl's
family Uikes up the cudgels to pick a
suitable husband for their daughter,
the humorous situations come in
quirk succession. Everything ends
happily for till the cast, however.
The universal comedy appeal of
the rlay will make it very popular,

HIS THIRD LECTURE
'Does Religion Make Any Difference
Is Topic of Final Address
By Noted Speaker
"Dad" A. J. Elliott gave his last
lecture of a group of three to an
audience of select university stu
dents last evening in Social Science
auditorium. He named the subject
matter with the question, "Does re
ligion make any difference?"
There has never been an age that
needed leadership more than the
present, "Dad" Elliott stated as he
opened the meeting. He reminded
his listeners that the whole object
of his appearance before them was
to present the situations that actual
ly confront students.
A life that lives to suck the blood
from society is a life that does not
reach its goal, "Dad" Elliott said.
In order for a man to be able to lead
a Christian life he must change his
desires. Citing examples from bis
own life, he first asked "How can I
have my desires changed?"
"A man comes into a religious
spirit in the same way that he be
comes a football player. He cannot
be sitting in the bleachers and be on
the gridiron at the same time. A
man must learn the rules of the
game; Nor can he be of the type
who does not want to get into the
fight because he has a clean suit on."
Using instances of his own expe
rience to illustrate his points, "Dad"
Elliott bared -his whole life and show
ed in a striking manner how one man
had come into a Christtian life. And
it was then, he added, that he had
answered the question "Does reli
gion make any difference?"
The first lecture Monday evening
concerned the influences of group
rule on individual idealism and tt
second, on the followlhg evening
dealt with the relations of men and
women.
Until noon today "Dad" Elliott
will be at the Temple and meet any
persons who wish to see him con
cerning his work. He will leave for
Denver in the afternoon. From
there he will go to Fort Collins and
then to points in Kansas.

PASTOR SPEAKS AT
FORUM LUNCHEON
Palmer Says Humanism Depends on
Intelligence and Does Not
Worship Reason
"Humanism does not worship hu
manity. Divinity is hidden within
man. If God is found he will be in
the heart of man" stated Reverend
Edwin C. Palmer, pastor of the Uni
tarian church at the World Forum
luncheon yesterday noon. 1
"Since the time of Amos in 800
B. C, when he entered Palestine and
saw the way in which the human be
ings were degraded and oppressed,
humanism has been rapidly develop
ing in life. Since that time, man has
turned his attention to values, in
cluding education and enlargement
of human life. Man has developed
the relation for enhancement of the
spirit for human life. Humanism is
organic, rather than materialistic
and stresses that point of life. Hu
manism possesses a beautiful and
wonderful reverence for human life.
Is End to Means
"Humanism is dependent upon in
telligence and does not worship rea
son," Reverend Palmer continued.
"We, ourselves, must be dependent
upon intelligence. It concerns hu
man life and supreme work as a val
ue. It is not a means to some end
but an end to some means. The
chief end of man is to glorify God
and enjoy him forever. Humanism
says that man is an end in himself,
which it denies, though it is used to
work and comsic purposes. Morals
are a use of man while economics,,
social life, and political institutions
are a service. Man does not serve
