I The leading characlera are tin-

mien and well modulated voice

scorn. She, however, approaches
the brink herself when she allow,
jealousy of her husband to over

adapted himself to hia part with

apart.

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.

The poor Lady Agatha never has
a chance to say more than "Yes.

entire play.
W. Zolley Lerner as Lord Aug-
an actor. In direct contrast to the
last play, his part is purely com

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

ABOUT EDISON WORK
Inventor Discovers Method
Of Producing Rubber
From Goldenrod.
Dean W. W. Burr of the agricul
tural college. after reading
Thomas A. 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.

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

wanted to know If ebe w-as in the
movies and If she would send a
photograph of herself. He won

Falling In love, dumbness and
too much Intelligence.
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. While falling
in love usually la accompanied with
a corresponding decrease in the
grade column it sometimes Is in
spirational and the victim's marks
ascend with rapidity, Dr. Worces
ter finds.
