Henry Pringle has jumped off
the deep end in the February
Ladies Home Journal. He purports
to disclose "What the Women of
America Think," which woulii
seem, even to the most optimistic,
to require a ileal of telling. The
women of America don't think, you
think? But by golly they can
speak their mind.
The women the Journal inter
viewed in their cross section-cross
country survey slated their views, j
and right definite they were, on
marriage, divorce and sex educa
tion. The results were carefully
tabualted according to age groups,
environment groups, rcjigious
groups, income groups, marital
status. And although it is danger
ous to draw generalizations from
figures, some insight is gained into
the feminine mind of the land from
the percentages of the poll.
Ducats Prove Marital Waterloo.
Sixty-nine percent of the women
in the United States believe in di
vorce and 94 percent think that
the divorce laws of all states
should be uniform. They believe,
too, 69 percent of them, that
money 13 the chief matrimonial
Waterloo. Adultery was consid
ered by far the most valid grounds
for divorce. But the concept of the
double standard still persists in
that 44 percent of the women
polled thought infidelity sufficient
grounds for a wife's seeking di
vorce, while 54 percent held that
adultery provided justification for
suit by the husband.
Three conclusions were agreed
upon concerning the younger gen
eration. There arc that young
people should be taught more
about sex before they get married,
that sex instruction should be
given their parents, and that girls
should not marry with the mental
reservation that divorce can free
them. Altho all of these belief i

To Witness Initial Showing
Grand Opening of Play Set
For Tomorrow Night
On Temple Stage.
By Dick de Brown.
Nothing less than a world
premiere will be the lot of patrons
who attend the University Players
this week. To be sure, it will be
free of the superficial outward
trappings which usually flash in
one's mind when that be-glam-oured
expression is used. There
will be no powerful searchlights
placed in lront of the Temple to
comb the sky with restless light.
There won't be any microphones
plHced in the entrance to the
theater with gushing maulers of
ceremonies to beg for "Just a
word" from attending celebrities.
There won't be. any orchids and
there won't lie any ermine. White
ties will be noticeable only by
their absence. But such things Hrt
not really a part of a premiere,
being rather Hollywood and Broad
way Innovations. . That they will
not be found at 12th and K sts.,
tills wwek makes the university
players production no less of a
world premiere.

vpportunity of giving one of his
plays its first trial behind foot

ers produced his "The Brighter
Flame," and beginning tomorrow
evening they will offer a week of

Playwrighting Lawyer's Hobby.
Altho Mr. Felton is a lawyer by
profession, playwrighting is his
hobby and lie displays consider
able talent for it. "I Know Her"
is a drama dealing with a rather
unusual theme. In it Pat Martin is
an extreme example of that qual
ity of wh eh almost all of us are
possessed to some extent. Namely,
.she has a very definite idea about
I just what the world and its hc-
t.ons should be like. Her ideas of
I perfection do not always jibe with
j those of other people but that does
1 not deter her from trying to force
them on whomever she meets.
If her husbands tastes in neck
ties arid shoes don't agree with
hers, I'at very firmly forces turn
Into line. She tells people whom
they should marry, what they
should eat, what they should read,
whether they are sick or well, and
in fact Just about everything.
Oddly enough Put does all this be
en use she likes (01 loves) these
people and is anxious to help
