'Bond Between" Appears!
Outstanding in Opinion
of Reviewer.
Novelty of production technique
featured last night's Studio theater
program when four one-act plays
were presented from a central
arena type of stage built in the
middle of the room with the audi
ence seated on all four sides. Bc-twi-en
the plays, the spectators
were invited into the hall for re
freshments while the .stage set
tings were changed, and all in all
everyone seemed to have quite a
gill time. This Lss formal mode
of production somehow seems ad
mirably suited to a summer's eve
ning.
"The Bond Between" was per
hrrns the outstanding play pre
sented last night, with Gladys
Neff and Ruth Carr doing partit
uljrly able work. Also good were
,Ituth McDuffee and Janctte Sec
berg. Wanda Crawmer was the
director.
Mildred Burnham and Elsie
Coleman performed capably in the
roles of Mrs. McGregor and Mrs.
Sawyer in the second play, "All
My Life. Mary Hibbard in the
part of Mary Sawyer and Hilda
Wiebe as Miss Jarvis, the wise
representative of a publishing
company, both gave 1 convincing
portrayals also. Directing was
LaVcrn Mungcr.
"Fleurcttc & Co." was rather a
charming little play featuring
Jane Kecfer as Madam and Inez
Thompson as Mrs. Poyntcr. Jean
Gist directed.
Extremely funny was the con
cluding play of the evening enti
tled Rollo" and featuring the
ptnrnal trianele situation. Ex
tremely eood performances fea
turod the action with Robert
Johnston portraying the husband,
Claud ine Burt the wife, and Betty
Rowland the other woman.
Mexico, land of exti ernes
contradictions, where rich
poor, aid and new, courteous
rude alike are found, was
scribed graphically last night by
Ray Ramsey, alumni secretary,
who showed pictures of his tou
through Mexico last summer to the
crowd which gathered in the Slu
dent Union ballroom.
One hundred colored pictures
taken In and around Mexico City
were shown. "Mexico City is far
from being the hot, dry, dusty
city which most people think. Mr.
Ramsey stated. "In this city is
the most ideal climate of North
America. "Throughout the year
the temperature is between 68
and 74 degrees."
In the high valley in which Mex
ico City is located lies much of the
beauty of Mexico, the alumni direc
tor stated. "Here we find a high
type of civilization extending
back 9,000 years. We find pyra
mids bigger than those of Egypt,
built 5,000 years ago. But we
also find present day methods,
present day facilities. For Mexico
City is one of the most modern of
western cities."
Head of University Served
on Nebraska Faculty
for 39 Years.
Chancellor E. A. Burnett, head
of the university for the past 11
years and a member of its faculty
for 39 years, has retired at his
own request from active leader
ship of one of the largest educa
tional institutions in the country
to become chancellor emeritus.
Announcement of his immediate
retirement at the age of 72 was
made by the regents Wednesday
at the same time as their an
nouncement of the appointment of
Dr. C. S. Boucher of Morgantown,
W. Va., as the new chancellor.
Chancellor Burnett informed the
university board of regents sev
eral weeks ago of his desire to
relinquish active leadership of the
state university because of the in
creasing strain and demands of the
position. He plans to remain in
Lincoln for a few days to aid in
introducing the new chancellor to
the faculty and the work of the
office. He and Mrs. Burnett ex
pect to leave Friday to make a
short visit Willi th ir son, Knox,
