The Little Clay Cart' Is

In Comedy Role Please
Player Audience.
The Little Clay Cart," which In
being presented by the University
Flayer lit (he Temple theater this
week proved to be one of tbr most
unusual productions ever given on
the Nebraska stage.
The Action of the play drain
with the love of Vasantasena. a
courtesan for Cbarudatta, a Brah
man merchant, who because of his
unusual virtues and generosity baa
lost all of bis riches. Sansthanaka,
the villatuous brotber-ln-law of the
king1 pursues Vasantasena and at
tempts to kill her when she spurns
bis love.
lie then blames the murder on
Cbarudutla who la tried and Is
convicted. Just as the executioner
is about to cut off the bead of the
cirtuous merchant. Vasantasena,
L who hadn't oeen killed after all,
' walks in and saves him.
Fay Stars.
Tbiria Pay, as the courtesan,
Vasantasena docs a very nice piece
of acting. In ber long flowing robe
she makes a very graceful nnd
.itatucsque figure .Her voice uaa u
clear musical tone which u very
pleasing.
I Jere Mickel carries the role of j
Charudatta, the Brahman mer
chant with notable success. Mr.
Mickel, although he is now attend
ing the university, was formerly a
member of the original Goodman
Theater cast which presented "The
Little Clay Cart" in Chicago. It
was through the valuable services
of Mr. Mickel that the Players
were able to produce the play at
this time.
Harlan G. Easton as the villain
ous protber-in-law of the king,
Sansthanaka, added considerably
to the merits of the play. Mr.
Faston brought much of the
humor of the play by his clever
interpretation of this simple
minded treacherous individual. Mr.
Easton should be complimented
upon his lisp.
Lerner Amuses.
W. Zolley Lerner as .Sharvilaka,
a Brahman in love with Madnika,
Vasantasena's maid also furnishes
much of the amusement for the
audience. His actions in cutting
en imaginary hole in an imaginary
wi.ll and crawling" through are
very much enjoyed. Pauline
Gellatly as Madanika and Paul
Miller as a Sbampooer who turns
Buddist mock also do some credit
able acting.
Other members of the cast are:
Arthur Slngley as Maitreya; Lois
Grandstaff as Radanika, a maid;
Richard Page as a courtier; Doris
Hosman as a maid; Edwin Quinn
as Mathura, a gambling master;
I Judd Brenton as another gamhler;
Valerie Worrell aa the wife of
Charudatta; Al Tiffany as Stha
varaka, Sansthanaka's slave; Ken
neth Threlkeld as Chandanaka, a
policeman; and Katherlne Gal
lagher as Vasantasena's mother.
The scenic decorations and light
ing effects were very picturesque.
The music which was played dur
ing several of the scenes added to
the general atmosphere of unusual
ness. The audiences were forced
to exercise their imaginations be
cause of the utter disregard of
stage limitations.

other heat, England, a fresh
man, came through for a mark

KNIGHT WRITES ARTICLE
Engineers' week issue of the Ne
braska Blue Print haa gone to
press and will be ready for distri
bution witbiin the next, few days,
according to John M. Clema. editor-in-chief.
This issue is to be U
biggest one of the vear and will
contain the Engineers' week activ
ities and program and a Urge
number of feature articles.
"Potash Industry of Western Ne
braska" by Edward M. Knight,
electrical engineering '32, is the
feature article of the issue. In
this article Knight describes the
industry as it started over night,
arose to great heights, and fell as
quickly as it started.
He estimates the resources of
the great potash fields and points
out the necessity for their devel
opment. At the present time the
United States is totally dependent
on Germany for their potash sup
ply. The huge plants now stand
idle. Until a method of extraction
can be found that can compete in
cost with the price of German pot
ash It will not be possible to de
velop the Industry without protec
tive tariff.
Article On Talkies.
"Recent Developments in Talk
ing Pictures" is an article point
ing out the principals involved in
light wave sound transmission. All
the essentials of talking motion
pictures at low sound intensity
have been known for many years
but only recently have they been
made possible in a practical way.'
There are two general classes of
sound records, the wax disc as
used by the vitapbonc and the
photographic record used by the
photophone and movietone.
"Dependable C o m m u n ication
from Ship to Shore" by H. G.
Wiltse. electrical engineering '30,

new telephone service from steam
ships to various cities made pos
sible by a series of telephone and

Ferguson Contributes.
In Dean Fergusons' article on
"The Hazard in Going to School"

by many students and gives accur
ate figures for the numbers who
drop out of school for various rea
sons. Hia figures show that only
about 10 percent of the students
w bo enter tbe engineering college
graduate. His data comes from
the accurate reports of Prof. A. A.
Ried kept for the years of '23, '24,
and '2r.
"Engineering Features of the
Moffat Tunnel" by John Van Dyke,
mechanical engineering 32, is an
article describing the outstanding
