'Robin Hood9
Will Appear
In Union Show
Early Fairbanks9 Thriller
To Be Presented Sunday
In Ballroom Program
Wallace Berry, Alan Hale, and
the favorite .he-man adventurer of
the theater, past and present,
Douglas Fairbanks, sr., will com
bine talents once again in a re
turn performance of the long re
membered "Robin Hood" with
Dough himself in the feature roll.
The two-hour movie will be shown
at the Union flicker show Sunday
at 8 p. m. in the Union ballroom.
For this most grandiose and
spectacular film the world had
seen before November, 1922, when
the premier was given in Holly
wood, Fairbanks gambled his en
tire fortune, employed 3,000 ac
tors then on relief, and contracted
for a huge mass of solid stone ma
sonry over 200 feet high which
was revealed to the amazed world
at Notingham Castle. Doug's tac
tics in the production of this show
won for him the title of "showman
extraordinary of the business."
Casted along with Doug are
Wallace Berry, well-known actor
today, as Richard I, and Alan
Hale, also popular today, as Little
John. Old-time favorites in the
cast Include Enid Bennett as Lady
Marion and Lloyd Talman as
Alan-a-Dale.
Hot buttered popcorn, . fresh,
roasted peanuts, and Ross Gibson
as pianist will finish off the pro
gram in the best Union flicker
show style. Admission is by identi
fication card.

Jim Selzer isn't like "Bromo-Seltzer" he doesn't bubble
over. Yesterday, at least, Selzer maintained silence as members
of the Daily Nebraskan staff fired questions at him in an at
tempt to solve the band-for-the-Prom mystery.
From the Nebraskan office came screams and cries and?
Mr. Selzer, what orchestra has been signed for the Prom?
, "The Junior-Senior Prom, Nebraska's most traditional social
event will be held March 6 at the coliseum."
Now wait, Mr. Selzer. You are chairman of the Innocents'
committee handling the party; surely, you know what band
has been signed.
"The 1942 BDOC, the Prom Girl, beauty queens and un.
successful candidates for BDOC will take part in the colorful
ceremonies ' '
But what
"Which will be patterned after the coronation ceremonies
of the King and Queen of Ak-Sar-Ben in Omaha. Anything
else?"
Reliable sources have informed the Nebraskan that the
band is associated with the "sweetest music this side of
heaven." Would you comment on that, Mr. Selzer?
"Why, yes, the music will be excellent, and the Innocents
have made arrangements for an improved public address sys
tem. There will also be colorful lighting effects"
When did you sign Jan Savitt, Selzer?
"We want as many coeds as possible to file for Prom
Girl who we hope will be the representative UN coed. Filings
begin today and close next Friday."

To qualify, a candidate must

Ag Board Discontinues
Farmers' Fair Activities
By Randall Pratt.
There will be. no Farmers' Fair
this year. That means no rodeo,
no Inter-sororlty ride, carnival,
dance, and all the other things
what wera connected with it.
The Fair Board thought it best
to discontinue the fair for the
duration of the war to avoid the
expense of financing and also to
save money on the part of stu
dents. Defense bonds will be purchased
with the money that is in the
treasury. There ia quite a large
sum collected, $450.00 to be more
exact. Of. course all .this money
