STATE VOICES SUPPORT
Effort to Increase Safe

Next Semester.
Stickers and pledges, prom
ising full support to the Ne
braskan 's safe driving cam

Dailv Ncbraskan's offices to
day and at any time during exam
week. Each student applicant win

the "less sudden deatii" drive.
Although approximately 50 stu

pledges were delayed at the print

all student drivers are now urged
to come in immediately to promise
their support.
"The state commission expects
the university to support the drive
100 percent," Jack Fischer, Ne
braskan editor, declared. "I think
it is the duty of every student
driver to sign a safety pledge and
to practice safety in driving so
that the present excellent record
of the school will be maintained
in the future."
Continuing on into the second
semester the Ncbraskan's drive
will be in full co-operation with
the statewide campaign that is to
be launched in the near future.
Drives in Omaha and Lincoln and
on several other campuses are co
incident to the one now on the

FOREIGN FILM FEB. 8
'Prenez Garde a la Peinture'
To Appear at Varsity
Theater.
Taken from the comedy by M.
Rene Fauchois, "Prenez Garde a
la Peinture," will be showp Satur
day morning, 10 a. m., Feb. 8 at
the Varsity theater. The comedy
is the French version of "The Late
Christopher Bean" which was pre
pared for the English speaking
theater by Sidney Howard.
The situation that M. Fauchois
has scelcted is one in which most
of the fun occurs after Dr. Gada
rin, who has been a humble prac
titioner of his profession for many
years, discovers that one of his
former friends and patients, now
dead, was Mavier, the artist. It
does not take very long before a
horde of collectors is swarming
around the little home in an in
conspicuous comer of Provence.
It appears that only old Ursula,
played by Mile. Charlotte Classis,
is the sole possessor of the dis
carded canvases the great man
abandoned. The most prized of all
portraits is one in which the maid
was the subject and which she re
fused to part with.
In a review of the play after its
presentation at Harvard univer
sity by the French Talking Films

PAPER ON ECONOMICS
Professor Talks to Faculty
Members of Three
Colleges.
Dr. John D. Clark, professor of
economics, will speak on "Eco
nomic Nationalism" before the
regular monthly meeting of Eco
nomic which will be held Thurs
day night at the Cornhuskcr.
Economlca is an organization of
members of the departments of
Business Organization and Eco
nomics In the university, and those
In similar departments at Ne
braska Wesleyan university and
Union college.
The organization meets pnee a
month, at which time a paper on
me economic problem is pre-
red and delivered. Dr. Clark is
nsidered an authority on eco
nomic poblcms, and has appeared
before several congressional com
mittees discussing various aspects
of legislation of an economic na
ture. He also has been on several
investigating committees of tho
American Bar association, and has
done considerable research work
In economics.
University Players will pre
sent their first premiere' per
formance of the season as they
open with "The Brighter
Flame," a gay new drama re
flecting the backstage picture of a
search to find a play to fit an
actress, at the Temple theater Feb.
3. The production will be tnc
fourth for the Temple Players dur
ing the current season, having al
ready very commendably done two
bright comedies and Dorothy Mas
slngham's drama hit, "The Lake."
Dwight Perkins, senior in the
college of arts and sciences, and a
star in former Players hits, win
assume the leading role as the
players prepare to introduce the
new production. Opposite Perkins,
Eleanor Compton, Teacners college
sophomore, will enact the leading
feminine role.
Asstisting Miss Compton and
Mr. Perkins will be a cast that
features some of the greatest tal
ent in university theatrical circles.
Irving Hill and Donald Buell whose
work in the last production, "The
Lake," needs no refreshing in tne
minds of Temple patrons, will at
tempt to better their already en
viable records in two leading mas
culine roles of the pending production.
Remaining honors for feminine
distinction as champions of the
modern drama will be shared by
Marjorie Thompson and Julia
Vielc. Altho the cast is one of the
smallest ever presented by the
University Players the supreme
talent featured should more than
compensate any noticeable short
age in numbers.
Altho the manuscript was sub
mitted to Miss H. Alice Howell,
Players' director without the name
of the author, she indicated that
she believed that it might be the
work of a former member of the
student body and Temple players.
