the male lead of the show,
Herbert Yenne, member of the
. l Diversity Flayers and instructor
3 in the department of dramatics,
(; riled the audience with his usual
snle of acting and personality,
lortraying the part of a young
business man, engaged to a girl
broad, and falling In love with an
Cher, Mr. Yenne, plays opposite
Miss Faye, the young stenographer,
who suddenly turns house maid and
lor whose sake? Only one guess.
With an excellent supporting
rast, consisting of Ray Ramsay,
.Margaret Masterson, Mary Murchl
son, Irene Martin, Grace Rowe,
Irene Davies, El wood Ramay, Joy
Storm. Robert Reade, and John
Dunman, "Two Girls Wanted"
probably Is one of the best truly
modern comedy-dramas produced
the last few seasons.
Recently Close on Broadway
A new play, recently finishing
its premier showing on Broadway,
for which the Players paid $350
royalty, "Two Girls Wanted" pre
ints a new angle on the problem
t-f trying to get your man and keep
him. However, it Isn't at all one
sided, as seen by the art of love,
which Herbert- Yenne uncannily
possesses.
"Two Girls Wanted" has the
most ultra-modern settings. From
the poorly furnished room in Mrs.
Cock's rooming house, to the pala
tial living room of Mrs. Delafield's
home, the superior designing of
I'rof. Dwlght Klrsch is shown. A
permanent member of the Univer
sity Players production staff, Mr.
Kirsch has done much In the ad
vancement of a new type of stage
art.
Acting Is Good
Individual acting which is espe
cially worthy of mention was
found In the character of Miss
Timoney, Mrs. Delafield, and Edna
Delafield, the parts portrayed by
Irene Martin, Grace Rowe, and
Irene Davies, respectively. Al

For Armistice Parade
All classes will be suspended
on Monday, November 12, to al

tenth anniversary of the sign
ing of the Armistice, according
to T. J. Thompson, dean of stu
dent affairs. A bulletin to that
effect will be sent to all instruc
tional officers some time this

office.
Classes will be dismissed In
order to permit students to
take part in the military parade
but the day will not be a holi

Campus Will Be Requested
To Give Aid in Sending
R.O.T.C. Band East
MORE SPIRIT JS NEEDED
An urgent appeal to the Ne
braska student body to support the
project of sending the band to West
Point will be launched ou the Corn
husker campus within the next
week, with the idea of Cornhusker
students doing their bit toward
sending a representation east when
the fighting Huskers meet the
strong Army eleven, November 24.
To date response for assistance
in the project has been very good
from down town business firms aud
state alumni but It is the opinion of
those in charge that the students
should do their bit In this worth
while enterprise.
Army Game Is Tough
Nebraska will meet their tough
est assignment of the season at
West Point and a victory over the
Army team would be welcomed by
Husker supporters. The far famed
Cornhusker spirit has done a great
deal toward the victorious season
to date and a team backed by that
same spirit stands a great chance
of continuing on their victorious
march.
The sending of the band east
means a great deal to the univer
sity from a publicity point of view
and will carry the message to New
York that Nebraska not only has
a great football team but also a
great student body that is support
ing them to the end.

one-half of all the money realized
from ticket saleB by members of

that organization.
Approximately $5,000 Is needed
to send the Cadet Band to the

this amount was netted from the

needed for the trip.
