SOME RECENT EVENTS IN BLACK AND WHITE
FACULTY REDENTS ITS LIKENESS IN THE "DAILY KANSAN"
CO-EDS FEEL SLIGHTED
THE JINK HAS GOT OUR TRACK TEAM
"DULTY KARANI" SAYS PROF. MODEL Likes WIND IN NO WHICKERS.
PREPARATION STARTS FOR THE "FINAL"
"DOPE" INTRODUCES REAL COLLEGE LIFE
Ice Cream Wagon and Mc Cook Field Were Successful Features
WILL GIVE IT AGAIN TONIGHT
Numerous Local Hits Introduced-
Secret of Third Act is Feature of Local Coloring.
A college atmosphere was introduced upon the stage at the senior play, "Dope," that was given for the first time in Bowersock's theater last night. The setting of the play was entirely local and the features that were developed are familiar to all the students on the "hill."
The Ice Cream wagon, the fence at McCook field, and "Red" Lupton, the mascot of the football team, were the cachet features of the play.
The play told the story of a star football player who was doped before a big game. He lost the game for the home team and immediately disappeared from the college circle. A year later he was found playing in a company putting on "Crossing the Divide." He came to his old college town and could not resist the temptation to play before the college audience. His old friends recognized him and made him return to the University circle.
The construction of the first and second acts is good for an amateur production. The proverbial college bill collector was ever present bothering the college chaps for money when their pockets were empty. The local hits were worked into the lines of the play well.
However, at the beginning of the third act, the audience is thrown entirely into the dark concerning the status of the play. They are confused and not until fourteen minutes after the curtain goes up, does a ny intelligence of the relation of the third act of the senior play. "Dope" dawn upon the unsuspecting audience, when from among their own number, the players in the former senior play spring upon the stage over the foot lights to stop the show and claim for their number one of the players in the company putting on "Crossing the Divide." Many critics pronounce "Dope" the best senior play in the past three or four years. For local color and spirit in acting, the play was well presented. Many errors were made in the construction of the plot, but the college actors playing to a college audience and in presenting many of the interesting things that have happened on the campus in the past year held their auditions attention closely.
The Weather.
"No excuse for not attending the senior play tonight," choreased the meter twins Thermo and Baro in their prediction of fair and warmer for tonight and tomorrow.
