DRAMA OF BRITISH LIFE
Picture Drawn of Manners and
Class; Action Takes Place
In Liverpool
"Old English," Galsworthy's 'fa
mous drama of English life and busi
ness, scored a decided hit in its pre
mier presentation Wednesday even
ing by the University Players. The
drama was a powerful study of the
dominating personality of Sylvanus
Heythorp, which was portrayed in a
forceful, sincere manner by Ray
Ramsay.
Mr. Ramsay's portrayal surpassed
anything he has ever done, and
brought down the house. His strong,
vivid acting of a man who is beset
by old fige and enemies anxious to
dispossess him of his power was one
of the finest, most finished pieces of
acting ever offered by the Players.
The play is long, and has a large
cast. Action takes place in the
Liverpool office of the Island Naviga
tion company, of which Heythorp is
chairman. The plot revolves around

NEED FOR TRAINED MEN
"TheTe is no lack of opportunities
for anyone who intends to enter the
ministry as his life's work," declared
Rev. Clifton H. Walcott. pastor of
the First Baptist churcfr of Lincoln,
in a "Vocational" lecture on "The
Ministry" last evening at the Social
Sciences auditorium.
Among the opportunities for ser
vice are the traditional duties of the
minister which include preaching,
teaching, and pastoral work, he
pointed out. Other fields of endeavor
such as religious education and spir

Dearth of Trained Men
"There is a dearth of highly train

Spring Clothes

Return of Cold
(By Ralph Pray)
Spring, that much talked about
time of year, came for a moment and
has gone. Clothing dealers advertis.
ing wear for spring smiled, but their
smiles are gone. Co-eds swung gaily
down the avenues in their fresh
spring frocks, but the frock's are
gone. Again the ruling power of
Old Man Winter holds sway. Again
spring clothes are out of date. Again
fur coftts and heavy wear is the
vogue.
Smiling down out of an azure sky,
the sun brought forth rejoicing on
every hand. We see it no more. The
weather man has turned the tables
and, according to all reports on the
subjects, conditions are liable to re

Latest reports from the office of the
weather bureau indicate that cole
and blustery weather may stay with
us for a few days and even give us
a promise of snow in some localities
There is hope for a change, how

PLANS FINISHED
Professor Crawford Will Speak
At Thursday Luncheon of
Theta Sigma Phi
TICKETS ARE ON SALE
Plans have been completed for the
luncheon sponsored by Theta Sigma
Phi, to be held this noon at the
Right-A-Way cafe, at which Profes
sor R. P. Crawford will speak on
"What to Write and Where to Sell."
Tickets are fifty cents and may be
bought from any member of Theta
Sigma Phi, from the Journalism of
fice U 104 or the College Book store.
Mr. Crawford is a professor of
agricultural journalism and in his
course in advanced feature writing,
stresses the practical side. Many
students have sold their first article
under his direction. "Take a survey
of the markets and then write for
the field," advises Professor Craw
ford. The luncheon today will be the
third of a series of monthly lunch
eons planned under the auspices of
Theta Sigma Phi to sponsor practical
development in professional writing
pected to again be seen in lighter and a vocational interest in journal-
for one week under the supervision
of the teacher in charge.
This plan has been employed for
two years under the supervision of
L. J. Gilkeson. It appears to have
had satisfactory results because
everv member of tho class since its
origin has proven successful in the
positions they have later taken. Up
to the present date every girl who
has worked under this plan has been
reelected to her present position.

Stage Hands at Work
The advance stage experts with the
company had planned to work all of
last night to finish placing the sev

yesterday. Nearly fifty men are re

alone.
A good example of the complexity
are the real 300-pound anvils which
are used in the famous "Anvil Chor

tricians are employed to see that the
massive pieces are connected up so
that they will ring true and give the
realistic effect of the forge.
Armor, swords, and wardrobe ma

cast arrives. Several wardrobe mist

Professor Swezey announces that
if the skies are clear this evening
the observatory will be open to the
public between the hours of seven

moon is visible tonight and some very
interesting features can be viewed.
Most people have the conception that
a full moon is the best to study, but
this is not true, for the sun's rays
shining on the craters reflect shad
