In the picture, as in Mrs. Aldrich's book, the school is identified as Midwestern- University. Its first building is "Central Hall," where Ella Bishop, portrayed by Martha Scott, appears as a member of the Ifirst class of the just-opened in stitution. On the screen, "Midwestern was recognized as the University of Nebraska campus and "Central Hall" was recognized as U Hall. The Hollywood cast did not come to the campus, so U Hall was re produced on a Hollywood set. For University students, the campus suddenly iook on we glamour of a Hollywood sound stage and their Interest in the pro ceedings sometimes created a traf fic problem.

Serving as dou bles were: Louise Lemon, Lin coln; John Schwartz and Dick DeBrown, Lincoln; Marcell Bauer, Omaha; and Clint Jurgen sen, Julesburg, Colorado.

The second-yearj law student, in an effort to work his way through college, works as publican conventions last July, he realized the ineffectiveness of our state primary laws. Nebraskans had neither the opportunity to vote on the strongest presidential candidates nor the means to bind their delegates." He decided to do something about it. Dick began studying pn V a"itorom K t0 10 P-m- mary laws in other states. He so Mondays through Fridays. hicited the artvirA nf ifartinp noli- . . - - - O 1 His second project, for which he receives only valuable experl ence, consists of aiding State Sen. Hal Bridenbaugh of Dakota City in drafting a bill designed to amend what Dick calls an "inef fective state primary election law." Dick's janitoring began two years ago when he entered law college. He says hours and pay are fairly good better than those of running messages which he did while a pre-Iaw student. He credits television with launching him on his second oroi- ect.

Briden oaugn, who also had the same feeling after the conventions, be gan digging for facts with the hope of correcting the situation at the next legislature session. In their search for the answer. Dick and the senator were intro duced by a mutual friend. To gether they put long hours of re search and conferences before they reached what they thought was the solution. Recently Sen. Bridenbaueh in troduced L.B. 260 and L.B. 261 which "are aimed at giving the voters a stronger voice in the se lection of their presidential can didates, j Sen. Bridenbaugh calls Dick's work "outstanding." "It is very unusual for a joune fellow of Dick's age to be so interested in such a project. His enthusiasm has impressed me greatly." Dick feels that he is rennvin?! me state in a small way for the fine education which the state is giving him at the University, And what makes me feel good," Dick said, "is that mem bers ofboth political parties are mieresiea in our work and are giving us all the help they can." In seeking out individual opin ions on primary laws, Dick re ceived this encouragement from Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennps- see: "The work you have done is nne. .uke you, I am very much interested in primary revision and it is good to .know of your keen Interest along this line." Another University la who aided Dick in research work was Fred Schroeder Jr., son of. mr. ana Mrs. tred Schroeder Sr. oi Curtis. Dick is the son of Mr. and Mrs H. H. Hansen of Lincoln.

One of the concluding shots In the, picture Is that in which Miss Bishop is whisked across Lincoln to a big reception given. in her. honor. The Hollywood cast included: Edmund Gwenn as the first col lege president; William Gargan, Mary Anderson, aioney uiacK mer, Dorothy Peterson, Marsha Hunt, Sterling Holloway, Donald Douglas, and Lois Ranson. The movie tells of Miss Bishop's life in a midwestern university, from the time she is a freshman way back in the 1880's, up until she is the 27 year old honoree at an alumni banquet. . It also tells of her romantic life, which did not bring her hap piness that teaching did. The day before her marriage, Miss Bish op's boy-crazy cousin swipes her young man and the marriage has to be called off. The next time she falls in love, it is with a pro fessor who unfortunately already has a wife. But Miss Bishop makes the best of it and gets much pleasure out of seeing her pupils grow up to be responsible men and women. William Gargan plays the boy who grew up with her and al ways loved her. Sidney Blackmer and Donald Douglas play the men who might have been Miss Bish op's husbands, but were not. The Hollywood stars came to Lincoln for the World Premiere which was held at the Stuart theatre.
