THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XX NUMBER 94 K.U.Dramatic Club Makes Big Success Of Modern Classic UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1923 "The Admirable Crichton Shows Result of Much Time, Money, and Effort Bv Ben Hibbs In the biggest thing it has ever attempted, the presentation of one of the modern classics, the K. U. Draatic Club net with real success. The audience represented in Barrie's "The Admiralle Crichton," given at the Bowersock Theater last night. Although the attendance capacity, the attendance was good. The Dramatic Club put forth more effort, time and money than is usually devoted to annette productions and the result was gratifying. All of her plays were in the minor defects, the heavy parts were well worked out. The brilliant island settings, the costumes, and the clever lighting added not a little to the attractiveness of the drama. Such elaboration is not always found in college plays. Play an English Satire Barrie's play is a sativa on the artificial social distinctions in England. The first act gives the audience a glimpse of an aristocratic English household. In the second and third acts the English family is found living on a tropical island on which they have been shipwrecked. Here they meet the butcher, Crichton, who at home is the butter, is master of them all. Mary, the oldest daughter of the family, falls in love with Crion on and the two are engaged to be married, when a ship finds the island and takes them all back to England. There social alignments at once drop further from former order, and Mary marries a man of her own social standing. The action of the plays seemed to move too slowly in places, and this, together with the length of time necessary to change the sets, detracted from the overall flow. The sense was sorry that promptings were necessary at several points. Zach Taylor a Favorite (Continued on page 4) Among the men of the cast Zach Taylor, as Hon. Ernest Woolley, was easily the favorite of the audience. His was a humorous part, and he played it well. This is the second time this season that Taylor has interpreted a humorous role in an exceptional fashion. Lloyd Hamilton, in the leading role of Crichton, handled the difficult part credibly. His serious, unbending dedication made him a barrie for Barrie.pursuit. The Earls of Loam, played by Fred Preble, was a bit disappointing in the second and Y. W. C. A.

French Invasion Unites Germany, Declares Ebert Baden, Germany, Feb. 13.—President Ebert of Germany keeping carefully out of territory forbidden cabinet ministers and high officials by the French, made a second speech last night in which he declared France's invasion had served to solidify the German republic. The tour arranged by New York University differs from the other European tours in that those who take part in this one will be just as much or more likely to attend lectures in the classroom. Collegic credit towards a degree will be awarded to those who do the work required of those who take the tour. This is the first time a university offers such a course. Those who enroll will be provided with material for preparatory study, and preliminary lectures will be given in the course of the ocean voyage so that the students may be well grounded in oceanography. Four points towards a college degree will be allowed for each of these courses, but no student will be permitted to take more than two of them. Those who make the tour without taking any of all the courses, they may take any or all of the courses. Ebert called upon the "world conscience" to protest against the Ruhr and Baden invasion which he characterized as unjustifiable. The north and south of Germany now are under excavations, exhouses, Ebert declared. He served notice that Germany intends to "fight through." Wichita Rotarians Hear Chancellor Lindley Speak "The big point of today is to keep alive the spirit of the leader," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley last night in a speech before the Wichita Rotary Club, where he gave the title of the Chancellor's address. The Rotary club was not the only audience at the time, however, for the entire United States was admitted through the medium of radio. The Rotary Club was used to broadcast the speech. "Machine production has reached perfection," said Chancellor Lindley, "and the human factor is becoming inefficient in industry and business. There must be a development of the individual of the group." "Man has to learn before he can earn. Man in organization has three jobs, the one that makes the man and the one that. To keep alive to the spirit of the learner enables one to keep advancing instead of just marking time.

Court To Decide On Bonus Legion Test Case Will Receive Consideration Soon Topeka, Kan., Feb. 13—The Kansas Supreme court will probably take up the soldier bonus test case as soon as the members of the court meet for consultation Wednesday.
