Arthur Goodrich Dramatizes
Browning's Epic 'Ring
And the Book'
"Caponsacchi," dramatic presenta
tion of Browning's poem, "Ring and
the Book," will be presented for the
first time this evening by the Uni
versity Players in the Temple thea
ter. Additional matinee and evening
performances will be offered Friday
and Saturday of this week, with
evening performances the whole
week beginning April 30.
The Players hold the distinction
of being the only group, outside of
the Walter Hampden New York com
pany, to offer this drama. Hart
Jonks, of the original eastern cast
takes the leading role. The cast is a
large one, and the production will
be offered in costume.
Scene l Papal Court
The action revolves around the re
cital of the priest, Caponsacchi, be
fore the papal court of Italy. He
tells of the torturous treatment of
the girl, Pompilia, by Guido, her hus
band. The puzzling and intricate
seventeenth-century murder story
unfolds in a dramatic manner.
"Caponsacchi" comes to Lincoln,
the second place it has ever been
presented, fresh from a successful
Broadway run of 337 nights. Arthur
Goodrich, who transposed the orig
inal epic into dramatic form, devoted
months to preparing the text in such
true Browning fashion that the most
noted critics have failed to discern
where Browning "left off," and
Goodrich has "come in."
Evening performances start
promptly at 8:20 o'clock. Student
matinees Friday and Saturday start
at 3 o'clock. Additional evening per
formances the week of April 30
start at 8:20 o'clock.

Johnson Makes Comment
A critical comment, by A. E. John
son says that Mr. Thomas has
preened himself precisely. There
is a "bite" to his work, and the lover
of sharpness and economy in writing
may possibly prefer the fourth bird
to the other three.
Another comment, by the Schenec
tady Un'ion-Star, remarks that the
authors, without making a deliberate
effort to do so, have kept well away
from the dullness an conventionality
that is sometimes associated with the
tutorial atmosphere.

NEED IS FELT FOR
NEW POWER PLANT
Operating Superintendent Declares
Present Heating System
Is Inadequate
Nebraska university is in need of
a new power plant, stated F. L. Sea-
ton, operating superintendent of the
University. Due to the number of
new buildings that have been added
in the last few years, the present
generators and boilers are greatly
over-taxed.
On cloudy days it is necessary to
buy electricity from outside sources
because of the inadequacy of the
present plant, he said. Aside from
this, Mr. Seaton stated that there
might be some danger in having the
supply of coal cut off since the
tracks now used are merely tempor
ary ones, having been used for the
building of the stadium.
