Difference in Audience
"You know, theater crowds are
different." Jenks mused as he said
these words, reminiscencing perhaps,
"both eastern and western theater
udiences seem to appreciate drama
equally, but in New York, the play
ers greet a more cosmopolitan crowd
which displays more emotion. West
ern audiences are more reserved.
Stock shows are rapidly coming
back into their own, to replace the
motion pictures, to a large extent.
There is a brilliant future in the
spoken drama. The University
Players, here, have a fine opportun
ity to present better shows than can
be rehearsed in three days.
"Caponsacchi was rehearsed for
five weeks before it was presented
the opening night. It made thirty
seven weeks on Broadway for the
first run, almost ten weeks more
than the average actor has the op
portunity to play during the season.
I don't now whether I'll go back to
New York this season or not. You
know, I'd like to stay here in Lincoln
and play in some shows I have seen
on Broadway. Although the Colise
um lacks equipment it has a wonder
ful stage and would make a splendid
theater. 1 makes me feel greedy
every time I think of that stage."
Hart Jenks paused thoughtfully.
What price docs a man pay to be
an actor?

What kind of magazines do college
students buy? According to a prom
inent Pullman newsdealer, adventure
stories and cheap fiction in general
are the most popular. Outstanding
in this feild are the confession and
True Story type of magazine (the
latter having the largest newstand
value in the world) with co-eds buy
ing 90 per cent of the student trade!
"There are two types of maga
zines, educational and. those for en
tertainment," he said. "The latter
are not made to be remembered, and
students don't buy the other kind be
cause they are too much like class
work. Sometimes instructors assign
reading in this type, and then stu
dents demand them in a rush. Of
the high-grade magazines, like Harp
er's, we sell very little, carrying but
one or two in stock.
Se-elc Something New
"It is claimed that you can tell a
person by the magazine he buys, as
his natural tastes can be judged from
what he reads, for it gets him away
from his ordinary run of life. He
wants to read about something that
he doesn't know anything about and
yet it not too unusual to be believ
able. Amazing stories are a good
example of this, and they are big
sellers. If a person reads about
something that he knows something
about he can pick out the faults in it
and consequently doesn't enjoy it."
The best selling stories now are
war stories, and since Lindbergh's
flights the trend in the new type of
reading is strong in magazines de
voted to air stories. Magazines have
a tendency to trend on what public
sentiment is interested in at the pres
ent. Liberty is coming to the front
now because of its biographies of
sport kings, which the other maga
zines are taking up, because women
are as interested in that material as
the men. He stated that anything
would go good providing that there
is something to back it up. Radio
magazines have declined because
now the making of home sets doesn't
hold the interest it used to on ac
count of the better and cheaper man
ufactured sets.
Higher Type Also Sold
"However, cheap fiction is not all
that is read, for the higher type is
sold through subscriptions," he con
tinued. "The Literary Digest has an
especially large sale because it is an
authority, but in general these mag
azines are sold by subscriptions be
cause of the prize offers they make.
I myself have several sets of books
that I got in these channels, although
I take no interest in the magazine."
In contrast to the 125 Western
Stories alone that this down town
dealer sells, the book store sells
about 60 each of the Saturday Eve
ning Post and Cosmopolitan type.
According to C. A. Pettibone, head
clerk, the confessions type has no
sale at all, five remaining on the
stand for over a month. Because of
its having the best short stories, ha
said, the Saturday Evening Post
leads.
The more solid type, as Harper's
and Atlantic Monthly, has a larger
sale here, about six of each being
sold. Comparatively few humor
magazines are sold, most of these
being bought by students who read
them while eating in the booths and
leave them there. Although college
students are sometimes considered to
have juvenile tastes, it is notable
that Child Life, which has a good
sale at almost any newsstand, is not
sold here. The Evergreen.
