Cathedral
Choir May
Sing at Fair
Choral Group Must
Have Sponsor for Trip
,Jolin M. Rosborough's Lincoln
Cathedral choir may make an
other trip east this spring. The di
rector of the nationally famous
music group received a telegram
stating that an invitation for his
singers to appear at the New York
world fair is in the mails.
Olin Downcs, chairman of the
music of the fair, and music critic
for the New York Times, sent the
telegram informing the choir of
the coming of the formal invita
tion. Also serving on the music
committee with Downcs is the in
ternationally famous singer, Law
rence Tibbctts.
Whether or not the choir can
accept the Invitation is undecided.
Their trip will depend upon the
type of invitation and upon
whether or not they will be able
to find a sponsor. Until the for
mal message arrives, Mr. Rosbor
ough will not know on what days
the choir is expected to sing or
on what part of the fair grounds.
The Cathedral choir has made
several trips to the east in recent
years. It had a week's engage
ment in the Waldorf-Astoria, and
gave concerts for the president,
on the ship Normandie, and In
Carnegie hall.

Schooner Stories Reprinted
'Phantom Airships' Strike Fancy
Of National Digest Magazines
Excerpts from Schooner articles,
"Phantom Airships of the Nine
ties," by Rudolph Umland, and
"Lazarus at the Sycamore" by
George Ellison, will be soon ready
in two of the nations leading
magazines, The New Current Di
gest and The Digest and Review.
Kdltor Iwry C. VVimberley re
ceived requests last Friday from
the Current Dl;cst to reprint ex
cerpts from Umland'a article, and
a request from Digest and Kevlcw
on Saturday seeking permission
to use parts of KlUson's article.
Until of these articles appeared in
the December issue of the Scho
oner. The appearance of "phantom
airships" over Nebraska and
many of the other states of the
Union provided as much thrill and
speculation among American
people in the nineties as the "Men
From Mars" created this fall, ac
cording to Umland, who vividly
pd'trays the effect that they had

upon the citizenry of the country
and more specifically, the people
of Nebraska.
Congress Started It.
Umland's article deals with the
newsnaner history which was
made in Nebraska ond surround
lnrr states when nconle from all
parts of tho stale allegedly re
norted witnessing nicht Hlchta of
airships over their cities. The il
lusions became so many that it
attracted nationwide I n te r c s t.
People started p.-clng these "man
made flying creatures" soon after
Congress had appropriated $.ri0,
000 for tho invention of a flying
machine.
Ellison's story concerns tha tals
of a near lynching of an innocent
school teashcrs and the effect up
on those who were responsible for
his plight. Local color along with
vivid description In the words of a
would be lyncher, made It one of
the Schooner outstanding glories
of the year.
Dr. Ruth Leverton. assistant
professor of home economics, ad
dressed the monthly meeting of
the Sigma XI association held last
night at the agriculture college.
She spoke on "The Need for Pro
teins and Minerals in the Diet of
the Average College Girl."
Dr. Leverton is conducting a
survey which is intended to show
whether women, during the late
years of adolescence and early
years of adulthood, still continue
to store up these two types of
food elements.
Store Protein.
"We have found that some girls
on liberal intakes are storing pro
tein and many of the minerals,"
she pointed out. "Some of them on
intakes which are very near the
adult requirements are not stor
Ing the nutrients, while girls on
low intakes do not have enough
of the essentials to replace that
used for daily wear and tear."
"It Is most significant that these
college girls who are no longer
growing and who are considered
by most people to be physically
adults are storing calcium and
phonnhorus for bone, iron and cop
per for blood, and protein for liv
ing tissues when these essentials
are supplied in nmoupta over and
above the requirement for main
tenance," Dr. Leverton slated.
Promotes Health, Vigor.
"Indications are that if given
a chance a 19 or 20 year o!d col
leire girl will store us much cal
cium in a tl.iv ns a 5 year old
chiM. but nnlllc the child will use
it to Increase the mineral content
of already formed hones and teeth
and circulating fluids where It
serves to promote general health
and vigor."
Fifteen Actors Take
Part in Novel Billing
Of One Act Play Trio
University Players open tonight
in three one-act plays by Noel
Coward, the first such program
they have presented in ten years.
Taken from "Tonight at 8:30,"
a ring of nine short dramas, the
Players' program includes "Ways
and Means," "The Astonished
Heart," and "Fumed Oak."
Seven of of a total of 15 actors
take leading roles in this spark
ling "triple bill." In "Ways and
Means," Doris Poellet and Don
Meier characterize Stella and Toby
Cartwright. The feminine spot
light in "The Astonished Heart" is
divided between Claudine Burt
and Marjorie Bannister who have
the parts of Lenora Vail and Bar
bara Faber respectively. Male lead
is Ray Brown as Chris Faber. In
"Fumed Oak," Virginia Nolte is
Doris Gow, a nagging wife, and
John Gaeth is Henry Gow.
New Type Design.
Theater goers will see used for
the first time on Temple stags
"suggestive realism," a technique
of stage design in which as little
scenery as possible is set up, giv
ing play to the imagination of the
audience. The three brightly col
ored sets, yellow, brown and blue,
have no ceilings; and the walls
are backed by a black cyeloiama
or curtain which gives the Illu
sion of empty space.
"Ways and Means," is an ultra-
smart comedy about a couple of
those perennial guests found
wherever the haute momie an l the
nouveau riche build their villas
in this case somewhere along
the Mediterranean const. In siite
of the ubiquitous censor's pencil,
which muti'a'.es many of the usque
lines for which Coward is famous,
