Theodore Dreiser's Life Reviewed by Neimeye
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, PEIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1990
The life and works of Theodore Dreiser were reviewed by Carl Neinerey in his lecture in 205 Fraser yesterday afternoon.
"Theodore Dreiser," said Mr. Nei-meyer, "is 'one of America's leading realists. He writes about real happenings. His philosophy of life is interesting in its hopelessness. Dreiser thinks of the world as a small number of men and by queer boundaries are confused and dismayed by their surroundings."
Little is known about Dreiser's early life except that he is of German descent and the youngest of a large family. His brother, Paul Dreiser has become famous as a song writer while his sister Louise is an actress. He is unusual for three prominent plays to come from one humble family.
Some of Dricier's best novels were briefly reviewed by Mr. Neimeyer. Among these were "Sister Carrie," "The Thief in the Hat," "The Traveler at Forty," Twelve Men," and his late success "The American Tragedy."
Doctor Nalismith, inventor of basketball and now consulting physician for all Kansas University athletic teams, dealt very largely upon the three sides of a successful team, mental and moral development.

The orchestra accompaniment was in volume. Professor Downing's encore was Needham's "Four Ducks on a Pond."
"The Rustic Wedding," was the most pretentious, selection played at the concert and is supposed to be the truly severe test of any opera. Orchestra played the last four of the entire five sections of the number.

List's "Dreams of Love," was another number the pop star program, intended for a short passage in it that was played by Proff Waidemar Geltch, of the 1950s.
