TO GIVE ANNUAL
Will Hold Performance in
Coliseum; Feature March
By Sousa.
The University of Nebraska band
will give its winter concert in the
coliseum Sunday afternoon, Janu
ary 14 at three o'clock, according
to plans being made by W. T.
Quick, director of bands. More
than 100 musicians are expected
to take part in the performance,
and an interesting and varied pro
gram has been arranged.
Among numbers to be featured
will be the march, "University of
Nebraska," written by the late
John Philip Sousa especially for
this school and band. Sousa in 1923
presented the University band with
a cup to honor the excellence of its
performance.
Chancellor Urges Support.
Chancellor E. A. Burnett has
given a special invitation to stu
dents and faculty members in a
statement saying: "I am very de
sirous that there be developed in
this University a greater apprecia
tion of student organizations that
contribute to the life of the institu
tion. Few people perhaps appre
ciate the fact that this is one of
the important university bands in
the United States. Director Quick
has taken a great interest in de
veloping this organization and I
do not think I overstate the mat
ter when I say that it ranks very
high indeed in the national field."
"The boys in this band give
generously of their time and labor
throughout the school year and I
am hoping that the student body
will lend them every support In
this concert, which, needless to say,
is entirely free. It is a little dis
appointing to arrange a concert,
have several thousand people there
from outside the university com
munity, and to find only a com
paratively small proportion of our
sti dents and faculty in attend
ance "

Tonight; Miss Howell
Commends Actor.
Portraying five characters and
speaking in four languages. Jack
Rank, well known actor, will pre
sent his "one man" play, "Vien
na Express" at the Temple The
atre tonight at 7:30. Rank gradu
ated from the university in 1926,
and served as an assistant in the
dramatics department for a year
The play itself was written by
Rank, adapting it from Hubeit
Dail's "The Ape Monster" which is
based on an actual railroad disas
ter in Austria. In addition to writ
ing the play Rank designed and
executed the scenery and cos
tumes. The action takes place in Aus
tria where a German peasant risen
to the head of a group of revolu
tionists, plans to wreck the Vienna
Express as it passes over a certain
famous bridge, in order to give
work for the people whom he rep
resents. According to members of the
dramatics department his instan
taneous changes from one charac
ter to another cause the audience
to forget that one person is play
ing all the parts. Miss H. Alice
Howell, chairman of the dramatics
department, recommended Rar.lv
highly in stating that there could
be no limit to the praise he de
serves in the "Vienna-Express." .
