Drama
Famous Stuart Walker Players Will Produce Costly
لا
Carrying with them $80,000 worth of lightings effect alone, the illusions of the stage, and the storm scenes introduced in almost life-like reality.
"The Book of Job," which was arranged and produced by Stuart Walker, will be presented at the Bowersock Theatre Friday, February 9. So costly is the production that it was necessary for the Lawrence business men to guarantee its success before it could be secured.
This play was first presented on any stage by Stuart Walker for a series of Lenten matines at the Booth Theatre in 1918. The following season thirty-four performances were given at the Punch and Judy Theatre, all to capacity houses. This season a tour of the leading cities of America Central West is made, creating a sensation everywhere.
"This play is undoubtedly the best production that will be in Lawrence this season," said Prof. H. A. Shimn. "The moment of public speaking this morning."
"The Book of Job," said Professor Shim, "has a background of the most exquisite music, based on the old Hebrew chants, arranged by Eli Liotnech. The ensemble consists of harp, violin cello, piano or organ and chimes. The musical expression is all behind the scenes. It is a musical drama of human drama production is taken almost literally from the Bible."
Stuart Walker attained his success in 1917 when with a company of forty-eight players he successfully put on Booth Tankington's "Seventeen." His "Portantman Plays" have brought him fame in the theatre in which they have been produced.

Doctor Tundles Into New Notoriety Here
There are nine students competing, instead of eight, because there was a tie in the voting in one of the schools. There are ten gentlemen, seven to two, a case, according to the latter, of quantity versus quality. The four classes represented are requested to be present at the meeting; one "tongued" speaker, Miss Cecile Burton, of the department of public speaking, announced today.
Possibly ten years have elapsed since Dr. Hugo DeVries visited our University and made himself locally famous as a tumbler. Dr. DeVries was already universally famous as a rocker that is eclipse by his local fame.
The doctor was so famous his relatives in Holland bade benignly upon him every time his worthy name was mentioned.
But that has nothing to do with the local climb to favor. Yes, it has been about eight or ten years since the doctor came to Lawrence to consult him and was invited during that visit that the local tumbling record was amused by him.
The steps to the last floor of Snow Hall almost succeed in vanishing within a few feet of the top and there are cracks on the record-breaking tumble.
The doctor was absorbed in his botanical learning and as is the custom of men of his sphere, he looked on not the lowly, worldly step, but climbed toward the top, engrossed in flowers and plants. He stepped aside, stepped the step, and catapulted down the stairs to a none gently rest on the floor below.
Thus was the tumbling record of Lawrence and Kansas lowered for all time and that is why the University of Kansas, like the relatives in Holland, held a memorial service often in connection with an acquaintance when Dr. Huey D'Avryt 'name is mentioned.

Students Still Find Time For Religious Affairs--Dean Kelley
University Average for Church Attendance Higher Than That of State
There are still a good many students who find time to attend church in spite of all that has been said to the contrary, according to a survey of the Lawrence churches made by Dean F. J., Kelly, as part of the material for the news letter which will soon be in distribution.
He found that more than two times the proportion of students are members of churches here than the state proportion at large, which means that sixty-nine per cent of University of Kansas students are members of one or another of the thirty-six different denominations represented.
Of the number of students who are affiliated with Lawrence churches, 1100 are Methodists, 581 Presbyterian, 363 Christians, 289 Baptisms, 184 Theology classes, 171 Catholics, and 127 Lutherans. Other churches average less than 100. In eight of the churches of the city, there is carried on each year 125 social events, with an average attendance of 250. Other events include such as receptions, mixers, socials, rack backs, hides, banquets, and the like.
In these same eight churches, there is an average attendance in Sunday School classes of more than 450 and an attendance at the Young People's meetings in the evening, of more than 400.

One hundred counties in Kansas send students to K. U. Five counties in the extreme southwestern part of the state which are scarcely populated send no students.

two students. Deater, Kearney, Logan, and Scott counties each send three students.

Chile skorlovskaya, 1; Japan, 1; Philippine Islands, 22; and Porto Rico, 1. The grand total of students is 3712.
