Revolving Stage Will Be Used By Kansas Players in Drama, 'Beggar on Horseback'
Bv Bill Fey
Special to the University Daily Kansan
"We're bringing Broadway to Fraser Theatre," is the cry of Hill thesplans these days. Salesmen out of Green hall are telling one and all that "Beggar on Horseback" will use a revolving stage, only one in captivity in this part of the country, outside of Kansas City.
A revolving stage is nothing new in the theatrical world. Indeed, when an actor in ancient Japanese theatres trailed out to do his stunt with the dragon, he often chased said beast for miles—running in the same place while a stage turned and scenery went whizh by. Then, no equipment dropped, and no equipment dropped out and wasn't used again until this century when the German stages started turning again.
Take a pie. Now slice it into equal halves, and there you have an excellent diagram of the revolving stage production of The Kansai Players.
Fraser Theatre's new stage is a production of the combined ingenuity of Prof. Allen Crafton of the speech department and his technical adviser, Don Dixon. These two, with their assistants, have put in a great many hours planning a d building this stage. The finished product is well worth having, and its apron extending out over the footlights at the same level, used about $50 board feet of pine flooring in its construction. You wonder where the lighting for the play comes from?—"babies,"
Y. W. HOLDS FUNDS, ELDON M'ILRAVY MEMBERSHIP DRIVE IS SERIOUSLY HURT
Twenty-seven feet in diameter, this circular stage weighs something over 1500 pounds. One would think of a bedlam breaking loose when it hits the floor, but the rubber-tired casters support the stage while it turns with practically no sound. Although details of the mechanism "for revolving the stage" are not given, they do believe a windlass to be built by hand will do the trick.
The idea in using this kind of a stage is for quick scene changes. In "Beggar on Horseback," there are 18 scenes of which these are samples: a railroad station, a courtroom, the royal bedchamber of the Prince and Queen, two business offices, and many others using just as contrasting scenery. So, you see the necessity of the revolving stage. When "Beggar on Horseback" is finished, the stage will remain in place. It is not until he hones "Queen," Maxwell Anderson's historical drama to be given December 6.
RJTH HARRIS IS HEAD
Technical speaking, "Beggar on Horseback" is not unlike last year's "Bury the Dead" which found immediate approval with student theatre-goers. Satire, burlesque of many of the serious phases of life, force an comedy was seen last year and conferred to those who attend the first performance of the Kansas Players this year. Besides, one doesn't very often get to see a genuine revolving stage that really revolves.

Nebraska Sophomore Fullback Suffers Skull Fracture and Hemorrhage
STILL IN DEEP COMA
There Is Nothing We Can D
For Twenty-four Hours,'
Says Doctor Bepten
Lincoln, Nebr. Oct. 2—(UP)—Eldron McIlroy, University of Nebraska sophomore fullback, is in a critical condition from injuries suffered in the Nebraska - Minnesota football game.
To the victor belongs the spoils, but all is not joyous student celebration on the campus of the university. Nebraska won a well-earned victory over a great Minnesota team but she may stand to lose one of her "future greats." McLravy was a brilliant back and he was a power in the Nebraska offense. His loss would be keenly felt. Sympathetically the student body awaits the outcome of McLravy's battle with death.
In the student hospital lies a great sophomore back, Eldon McIlravy, in a coma from a skull injury. He had given his best in the game with Minnesota and maybe this will prove to be his supreme sacrifice. His left side is partially paralyzed and complete paralysis has set in on his left leg. He lay in a deep coma. Dr. Erall N. Bepen team prepares to mount the action upon McIlravy's condition the doctor said, "there is nothing we can do for twenty-four hours, we cannot tell whether he will recover."

PHOTO LECTURES TO BE PRESENTED BY OREN BINGHAM
Fundamentals of Photography Is Subject of Talks in Journalism Building
FIRST MEETING FRIDAY
Plan Darkroom Facilities To Be Available to All University Students Interested
The underlying fundamentals of photography will be the general subject of a series of lectures to be presented under the auspices of the University photographic bureau, is co-operating in the program and will give a series of talks designed to acquaint amateur photographers with informational photography under the understanding of photography.
The lectures, to be given in the Journalism building, will be open to all University students seriously interested in the subject. z
Hold First Meeting Friday
A preliminary meeting is scheduled to be held in room 102, Journalism building, at 7 o'clock next Friday evening to present an outline of the series and to determine a conference meeting time for the lecture series.
Darkroom facilities in the Journalism building will be made available to those attending the lectures. As planned by Mr. Bingham and E. N. Doon, assistant professor of journalism, the series will be an orderly development of the subject starting with a discussion of light and its effects on the photograph and the photographic problems involved. This will be followed by a lecture on color sensitivity and filters.
The discussion will continue with material on lenses and their properties. The development of sensitive materials, the various kinds of film, and the making of the print will also be discussed.
To Present Major Aspects
Both Mr. Bingham and Mr. Doan emphasized the point that no attempt is being made to present the whole subject of photography in a few easy lessons. Particular stress will be given to those aspects of photography and photographic equipment that are necessary in the taking of good pictures, according to the collaborators.

I hardly know how to begin this ten. Don and I have been close witness to the University of Arizona.

He was wounded Sept. 2 during our drive on the Aragon front, and died the following morning about 7 o'clock."
Was Crack First-Alder
"Don was known as the crack first-aider man on the Lincoln battalion and I can say sincerely that he was respected and liked by all his comrades, for many of them went out of their way to tell me so. I was not told anything about him. I do know this. He was aiding his wounded comrades when under heavy fire he was hit. It was a position of great danger, but Don considered it his duty to be there.
"Please accept the heartfelt sympathy of all Don's comrades and my own at this sad moment.
