chance as a leading man in 1919 In
"Marta of the Lowlands." In 1920
the Players began to expand their
programs and give more plays. It
was In that year also that they
first began to attempt Shakespear
ean drama, presenting "Twelfth
Night."
Miss Howsll 6tars.
In 1921 their greatest success
was Shakespeare's "The Winter's
Tale." In 1922 the group pre
sented James Barries "What
Every Woman Knows." "Madame
X," in 1923, was Miss H. Alice
Howell's own show, according to
Mr. Yenne. Miss Howell played
Madame X, and gave one of the
finest performances or her career.
In 1925, Ray Ramsay made his
first appearance as the dumb boy
in Shaw's 'The Devil's Disciple.
The University Players In 1928 at
tempted one of their most difficult
presentations. 'Romeo and Juliet
In which Herbert Yenne played
Romeo and Frances McChesney
played Juliet.
"Caponsacni, taken from
Browning's poem, "The Ring and
the Book, was the feature pre
sentation of 1929. For that play
Harte Jenks returned to Lincoln
to play a role after three years of
Shakespearean Characterization in
New York City. "Arms and the
Man" by George Bernard Shaw
and "Emperor Jones" were the
best plays of 1929. Last season the
two best presentations were
Wilde's "Lady Windemere's Fan"
and "Hamlet." Harte Jenks again
rsturned to Lincoln to play the dif
ficult role of Hamlet in that show.
Handicapped by Stage.
The Players have always been
handicapped by inadequate stage
space but despite this handicap
have managed to design the stage
settings realistically. It is a dream
of the group to some day nave a
theater of their own.
Of the famous graduates of the
dramatic department of the uni
versity and the alumni of the Uni
versity Players. Harte Jenks is
perhaps the best known. For six
years Jenks has been portraying
Shakespearean roles to New York
audiences and his name Is rapidly
going to the top as a fine por
trayer of those difficult character
izations.
Maurice Clark, a former member
of the organization, is now a suc
cessful play writer. Other mem
bers of the group who have also
achieved fame since graduation
from Nebraska are Susie Scott
and Gert Moran, both of whom ap
peared in plays on Broadway;
Jack Rank; Ed Taylor, who for
three years was with Shuberts;
Pete Sumption, playing stock in
Toronto; and Carlisle Jones, pub
licity manager for John Barry
more, Al Jolson and George Arliss.
The University Players are com
posed mostly of juniors and Sen
iors in the dramatic department as
it is an organisation in that de
partment. Many of the players are
members of Pi Epsllon Delta, na
tional collegiate players fraternity.
For the first years of its exist
ence the organization made a pay
ing proposition of their presenta
tions but in recent years they have
lost monev until two years ago the
finance department of the univer
sity took over the management of
the plays. Now, according to L. E.
Gunderson, fiance secretary, the
organization is again making
money and is slowly but surely
getting out of debt.
The plays already given by the
players are "Journey's End" and
"Holiday." Plays to be presented
are "The Importance of Being
Earnest." next week, 'Porgy" in
February, "The Criminal Code," In
March, and one of Shakespeare's
plays for the close of the season.
