I PUBLIC DECIDES PLAYERS SHOW 'SEASON'S BEST Large Cast Presents 'Lady Windermere's Fan in Temple Theater. LEAD CHARACTERS GOOD Popular University Actors Receive Praise After Presentation. Y MOSELLE KLEEMAN "The beat play of the aeaaoo" I the general verdict paused on the presentation by Ihe university la ye re of Oscar wiwe a "Lady indermere'. Fan." The unuaually large cast com posed of many old favonlea give N On' Mr. Wllde'a clever line with a spirit and enthusiasm which makes the play an Inatantaneoua auccrii. I Leada Arc Unuaual. I The leading characlera are tin- usually good. Elizabeth Craft makes a gracefully charming Eng- nsn laay wno wun ner oignuieti mien and well modulated voice soon wins the sympathy of the au dience. She lakea the part of a "very good woman" who looks down upon the moralities of the other women of her age with scorn. She, however, approaches the brink herself when she allow, jealousy of her husband to over come her better Judgment. Walter Vogt. aa the handsome, wicked Lord Darlington who could "resist everything but temptation" waa alao excellent. Mr. Vogt adapted himself to hia part with an ease that wa Indeed creditable. Hia smooth Knglish accent and his expressive gesture set hi. acting apart. Yenne Surprise. Herbert Yenne surprised the au dience a. the serious, dignified husband of Lady Windermere. Those who were accustomed to seeing Mr. Yenne in lighter and more jovial parts were pleased at his handling of an entirely differ ent type of role. His characteriza tion of his part showed real acting ability The wicked widow. Mr. Krlynne, played by Cornelia Ayers, waa an other well handled part. Miss Ayers showed by her acting that she caught the spirit of this woman with her moments of Indif ference, cynicism and mother love. Miss Ayer seems perfectly al home on the stage. Other Do Well. Several of the less important I charactera did much to make the i rlHV success. Kathryn Ruegge lne I'Utnes of Berwick, and as her daughter. . ray1- r ininiiin Ijidy Agatha, were a aotirce of constant amusement. The duchess was a perfect gossip whose one ambition in life waa to get the Lady Agatha married to the prom ising Mr. Hopper from Australia. The poor Lady Agatha never has a chance to say more than "Yes. Mamma" at any time during the entire play. W. Zolley Lerner as Lord Aug- an actor. In direct contrast to the last play, his part is purely com edy. He plays the role of an el derly, simple English lord who Is so flattered by Mrs. Krlynne's at tention to him that he becomes thoroughly Infatuated with her and blusters and stutters with pride at each compliment. Richard Page as Mr. Dumby and Jere Mickle as the sophisticated Oxford graduate, Ce cil Graham, alao add their bit to the general merits of the produc tion. The curtain rises at 7:30 o'clock and admission is seventy-five cent.

Edison's announcement that a method of making rubber out of goldenrod had been discov ered, at once sent inquiries to friends in the east who a:e In touch with E!ison in order that the college might no prepared in I cajie there was anylmmedlate pro , spect of the new Industry becoming ' a reality. i If rubber were to be made from goldenrod on a commercial scale, it would be necessary to make ex periments to ascertain how the c rop should be seeded and har vested, and how to grow a larger plant. All this experimental work, however, depends on Information regarding the process which haa pot yet been made public. There are seventy-six varieties of golden lod, but in the opinion of Dean Burr, these do no differ greatly in fundamental properties. "If reports are true, Nebraska htands in a position to be one of the leading producers of the plant," said Dean Burr. "(Joldenrod grows In abundance throughout the United Slates but the factors which have made Nebraska one of the leading producers of agricul tural products will also make it a leader in the new Industry." Little is known about the golden rod plant, stated Dean Burr, except that it is known that the sap of the plant has some properties com mon to those or tne runner tree. Milkweed and other plants also have these properties, according to Prof. C. J. Frank forter, who spe cializes In industrial chemistry, but until the Edison discovery no method of using them had been found. Dean Burr stated that if golden rod did become a regular crop there is nothing to indicate that its production would in any way be detrimental to the production of other crops. if1 Lucille Wright Gels Fan Mail From 'John' in Michigan; Liked Her Face From Hillsdale. Mich, the other day came a letter addressed "To Ihe Pretty Miss Pictured Here, I'nlversity of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb." The envelope upon which this was inscribed had been cut away so that a picture of Lucille Wright, clipped from a Hillsdale newspaper, would show through. The picture was one of Mias Wright with five other members of the Taasels, girls' pep organiza tion of the university. The sender evidently wa attracted by her picture but did not know her name since the newspaper carried no "legend" identifying the girl. So he took that method of getting his message to her and hoer .he would get it. Miss Wright Is sophomore In the university and a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority. Her borne is in Stroms burg. The letter was dated Dec. 4. and commenced with the greeting "Hllo Unknown." It contained several remarks complimenting Miss Wright on her attractiveness. Then as the writer grew more eloquent, he declared be was send ing a ribbon to tie around her bair a a token of hia esteem. He wanted to know If ebe w-as in the movies and If she would send a photograph of herself.

Thse are three reasons why ! freshmen go home at midsemester - and slay. So explained Dr. Dean Armory Worcester, professor of educational psychology at the Uni versity of Nebraska, at a meeting of the faculty of Nebraska Wes leyan university Thursday after noon. In his category of dumbness most flunking freshmen fall. It all comes from the fact they haven't had a good basic education in grammar scnool grades. Dr. Wor cester says. Some can't divide by two or compose a simple -sentence. And that, in university, is tough on Ihe freshmen, acjoiding to the Nebraska professor. Dr. Worcester also discusses numerous contributing factors why students fail. Intelligence tests, aays Dr. Worcester, would show up 10 percent of the students and would eliminate 70 percent of the failures. Faulty health and emotional adjustments are things that must be overepme by certain type, of freshmen.
