TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1933 PRACTICAL ART To civilized people, the opening of the Nelson and Atkins Memorial gallery in Kansas City, and the foundation of the symphony orchestra in that city, are two events of the greatest significance to the middle west. The orchestra has yet to prove itself in the coming first few years of its growth, but the art museum has received the plaudits of authorities and important people from artistic centers of the country and of Europe. This comment is not for those who have an appreciation of art; they already have seen or will spend hours in contemplation of the fine examples of the pictorial art to be found there, and they understand the deep value of a place where these treasures can be enjoyed, and where uninitiated and children can come to learn the real meaning in art. Rather it is for those who have not an appreciation of art. This great gallery and this' orchestra are of value to you, too. Cities begin to grow and to have significance in the eyes of the world when they become art centers. Anything that contributes to the advancement of Kansas City does an equal service to all of the middle west. GRIDIRON BROADCASTING Psychology will have a practical application when it can properly and correctly interpret a young lady's "maybe." Three of the conference schools favor putting the games on the air, two are undecided, and the University is against the project. The question of whether to broadcast Big Six football and basketball games popped up at a meeting of the conference athletic directors recently and refused to be subdued. "My position has always been for a fair study of the proposition in an endeavor to arrive at a decision of what will benefit the most concerned," said Dr. F. C. Allen, athletic director, representing Kansas. It would seem that the greatest number of sport followers would be served by broadcasting these games, and with little or no harm to the athletic turnstiles. A fan who has the money or the opportunity to see a game in person is not going to be satisfied with listening to a radio account. If he is unable to attend the game, however, the radio could bring him an exciting and fairly satisfying description. Aside from box office considerations, the University and other schools in the conference are losing out on a splendid medium for publicising their schools. A good many people will listen to a radio broadcast of the game when they would not give a second glance to a sport page. WAR 4 A weeping wife sows. Her husband pats her hand and whispers a farewell and, turning, marches swiftly from her with one despairing look back. A son tears himself from his sobbing mother with a croaking, "Goodbye, Mother." A ship is sunk at sea and five hundred blameless men have paid the supreme price. A cannon belches fire and lead into a forest; murdering mere boys—the cream of the land. An airplane crashes, brought down by firing of the enemy, and death takes another victim as the screaming pilot is burned to a crisp. Shrapnel bursts overhead and a grey breaded man with a family of six falls with a spinner of steel in his brain. War! War is a social atrocity; it is fendish; truly it is hell. How do student letter writers blend these two famous passages: "so very busy studying, I secretly want to study at the most important social whirl requires money?" OUT OF THE DEBRIS Students apply themselves more intensively and thoughtfully today than formerly. Such is an observation of Robert Lafollette in "Social Science," and is seen by him as one of the valuable byproducts which has come out of the throes of this economic dilemma marking the last half-decade. But this is not the only valuable by-product seen by him. Among others are a stimulation of invention, a back-to-the-land movement, seven to 173 per cent increase in book borrowing at public libraries with vocational and technical books ranking first in demand, a new social outlook in the church, and, politically, people are demanding leaders of truth, intelligence, and resoluteness. The significance of these products of the depression is astounding, and whether or not Mr. LaFollette has overestimated it it is not so important as the fact that it is a hopeful sign when retrospection can visualize even a hint of such constructive patterns as these in the debris of this economic chaos. At the Play By Elliott Penner, gr. This should be a most excellent and discerning review. Two women sitting behind the critic spent every minute between the acts in comprehensive criticism of the actors, interspersed during moments of the play with as many of TD like to choose him," He was like that in *rehearsal*," and so forth. We did not jibie at all points, however. Once, at the end of what we consider the poorest written, most unfortunately played portion of the piece, there was an audible sniff from the rear. Perhaps it was only a bad cold that was responsible. Perhaps the persons who participated in this unfortunate scene should not be blamed, however, for it was a piece of unfortunate wordiness that we doubt any players could have done successfully. Those who have seen the play will recognize the portion as that in Johnnie (Farrell Strawn). Otherwise, these two people do the best work of the play. George Taylor, who payed Bill "The Great!" Truedale, and who looked the part and seemed the part at first, fell by the sideway even before that last act, in which the marianettes finally got his soul completely. Edythe Mulveyhill and Harold Grasse, who played the parts of the Crawfords, were very good as foils for the characters whose story the play purported to tell. Both of them did difficult jobs well, except perhaps for Miss Mulveyhill's extreme haste in the first nervous moments of the play. Grasse was very good; his reaction to situations and persons of the play were at times all that saved the effect of them. Holen Kissell, who is new in a lead part to the University audience, takes a difficult part and makes her character, a girl who things and can still be funny, come to life. She does as well as possible in spite of the last act, which would require super acting and super directing to amount to anything, in which key members of the cast dropped in spite of their efforts, and which, if we were cruel, we would say laid an egg. All of the players were too stiff and mechanical, both in action and enunci- Virgil Crook, who had little to do outgle and make eyes as Evie Lawrence, who married a man immersed in business and tried to lead her newly married former love astray, was fairly successful in her scene in which she OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXXI Tuesday, Dec. 12, 1933 No. 59 The annual A.S.C.E. banquet, scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 14, has been unavailably postponed until Jan. 11.

"Dancing Lady," Joan Crawford's much-heralded new picture, opened at the Pate Sunday, with Clarke Gable, Franchot Tone, Fred Astaire, THealey and his stooges, and several others lending Miss Crawford assistance in a highly entertaining performance. The picture, which is considered as something in the nature of a comeback for the star, presents the former Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in the role of a Broadwa dancer who TAU SIGMA: A.

But even the sophisticated comedy touches of Donald Gleden Stewart failed to produce a laugh equal to the one Allen Crafton drew when he was discovered back center in a sweat shirt and work pants as the curtain rose second act. Mr. Crafton made an effective if somewhat undignified exit. RUTH PYLE, President. One of the interesting characters of the play, Henry Jaffrey, played by Robert Cunningham, did not seem nearly as effective as he should have been. A man of a different generation, a different outlook, perhaps, and contrasting with all of the other characters of the play, the port had impressive possibilities. The only other older character of the play was the mother, Mrs. Jaffrey, played by Bernetta Brooks. It was a comic part in comedy-character style and had only enough exaggeration or whatever-it-takes to evoke a few tentative laughs from the audience. If someone takes each of the people in the cast and gives him a good limb-ing-up shaking before he goes on the stage tonight, the play will be much better than it was at the performance last night. MARY ELIZABETH EDIE, President. Gil Reynolds, as Lyman Patterson, moved through the play smoothly, although it is difficult to remember afterward just what or how he did. He registered peevishism a couple of times, we think. Before it was finished we were so mixed up anyway that we hardly dared try to think what was good, what was bad, and what was just plain itchy-scratchy lousy. Some of the best lines the audience seemed to miss entirely. Dick Wulff, who played the part of Jules, a French waiter troubled with "pummoony" or some other chest anilment, did a good job. He should stick to acting instead of musical activities. James Campbell, as Pierre, speaks French better than he holds up his end of a scene. Perhaps we are wrong about that. Maybe the director told him to hold out his hands and look like a clothesline to register bewilderment. Marta, the maid, who appeared in one scene, had a facial expression of astonishment. A bionding of the other characters as she made her exit. The part was played by Grace Sullivan. We sincerely hope that it was planned. If so, it was an excellent little piece of work. teaches are up, a part he loves freezing relief from the heavy drama given him by her in the past. Aided by excellent comedy bits, inspired acting on the part of Gable and Tone, clew photography and direction, Miss Crawford carries the picture gaily along the thread of an inconsequential plot to a finish that, to the audience at least, is just what they expected and thereforewholly satisfying. The dance numbers are well-staged and effectively presented, with little or no attempt to achieve the stunning elaborateness that has been the rage of recent Hollywood musicals. Miss Crawford's own dance routines are handled with an enthusiastic ability that is pleasing. On the whole, Dancing Lady is excellent entertainment. It is a well-balanced show, with the best of talent in dancing and music comedy as well as acting. Joan Crawford is far more funny than aunt in some for some time, the rest of the cast is far better than just good, and the whole clicks. Anyone who sees "The Invisible Man" now playing at the Varsity theater, and does not experience their hair standing on end just a bit, is not quite human. The Invisible Man, Claude Rainey, is a young chemist who discovers a formula whereby he makes himself invisible. This formula, however, affects his mind and causes him to be mad. Gloria Sturm, his financee, her father, and William Harrigan, another young chemist, attempts to bring Rainey back to normal, but they are unsuccessful. Raine starts out to control the world through his unheard-of powers and he terrorizes the surrounding towns, murdering several citizens. Finally, the police surround Raine and are able to move in by seeing his footsteps in the snow. The Invisible Man's headquarters are in an English tavern, and Dudley Digers, Una O'Connor turn in excellent role as the tavern-keeper and his wife. Perhaps only H. G. Wells could write a story so fantastic and gloriously. If you want to have the gooseflesh creep, and your skin tingle, be sure and see "The Invisible Man." There is a comedy, entitled "Umph" which anyone would like to hear if the must wasn't so loud. However, an interesting travelogue is shown. KANSAS-MSSOURI TRACKMEN TO MEET MAY 12, THIS YEAR The University of Kansas and the University of Missouri will renew their long standing outdoor dual track rivalry at Columbia, May 12, it was announced yesterday by C.
