THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIX
THEY DUCKED A FEW AT THE W.A.A.CIRCUS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FIDAY, APRIL 21, 1022.
Some Male Invaders Received Rough Treatment—One Got His Hair Cut
AND THE BARKERS BARKED
The Wild Woman From Borne
Was There—So Was the
Famous Snake-Charmer
The seventh annual W. A. A. Circus given in the gymnasium last night was all that it promised to be and more—but that comes later. Features of duets were added for but did a great deal toward the evening's entertainment.
About 7:30 o'clock a large crowd gathered on the first floor of the gymnasium where the few side shows were in full tilt. Lusty-lumging, d forcem mached circus spielers invited the crowd to take in the charm of the wild woman from Borneo, or to win as the famous snake charmer and the three live armadillos out of the crowd of eights flashed now fast and then, a dainty maiden on the arm of some dark-looking villain.
The real circus ring was on the second floor. The program commenced with the band of "village vamps" "playing" "T'll Say I Love You." It was followed by a line of a fine aggregation of animals. Some of them were Amy and Gwendolyn, two large African elephants; Maria and Mordica, billed as the largest snapping turtles in cartability; and a grizzly bear.
But in the midst of their march a sturdy ery brought the crowd to its feet. "What is it?" was on everyone's lips—and then the horrible answer came back. "A Man," said fifty husky women sprang. surrounded, dragging him into the swimming pool where he was ducked by strong hands. After this the women came back for the entertainment but not for long. Another man was discovered in the hall. He did not fare well as well as the first victim. Today he is not wearing the pompadon that appeared yesterday, but is used by the girls, eager for revenge, have more than fringed his lovely hair.
By far the biggest performance of the Circus was the representation of living statues as portrayed by Nudie Cox and Elizabeth Abbott. The Flying Mercury, the Wrestlers, The Thinker, and the Dying Gaul were illustrated.
Meanwhile the circus performance was continuing. The acrobatic and pyramid work of the girls was not to be excelled. The wrestling match between Larry S and "Fatty" A篮塞 gave the championship to "Fatty." Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties portrayed by the Cih Omegas gave an excellent stunt with the song "Sit by the Seaside."
FRENCH PLAY IS SATURDAY
One more man received a ducking before the end of the Curcus and about fifteen suspicious characters who had come to keep them from gaining entrance.
No Admission Charged For "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme"
K. U. French students will stage Moliere's famous play, "La Bourgens Gentilhomme," at 8 o'clock Saturday evening in the Little Theater of Green Hall in honor of the tercentary of Molère's birth.
"Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" shows the folly of a member of the middle class to break into the nobility. The well-known critic of the Columbia University, Bernard Mathews, says, "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" is one of Molière's most characteristic plays. It contains not a few of his most ingenious scenes, at once humorous and veracious. Monsieur Jourdain himself is a never failing joy in his innocent fatality."
The general public is invited to attend and enjoy a good laugh. The admission is free.

ASKS UNIVERSITY'S AID ON MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Subscription Drive Here Next Week For University of Louvain Library
Nicholas Murray Butler, chancellor of Columbia University, has written to Chancellor Lindley, enlisting the support of the University of Kansas in a drive for a library to be built in Belgium, at the university's medical school, from the student body of the world to the soldiers who died in the World War.
It is hoped by the National Committee for the memorial in this country that every school, college and University will have its esecutum enoon the walls of the great assembly hall in memory of those of its sons who died in the World War, in fact that every stone may be a memorial to protest against the wanton Teenon destruction.
The site of the library was given by the Belgium authorities, the cornerstone being laid July 28th, 1921; before in assembly, consisting of the King and Queen of Belgium, Cardinal Mercier, and R. Raymond Poincaré, expresident of France and thousands of Babelians.
Several hundred Americans have already answered the call in a generous manner. But there is yet $800-00, to be subscribed at Columbia University, Dr. Butter reports that, according to one study, while in France and Belgium, the school children have subscribed 200, 000 francs.
The purpose of the drive at the University of Kansas is to collect small subscriptions from the student body, so as to allow Kansas to be represented with an association about the other universities of the country.
Mr. Roy Towner and Mr. J. Neales
Carmen of the department of romance
languages, made up the committee,
which is to direct the drive here. Cer-
tainly take a leading role in the
drive. The drive will begin
here next week.

PRAISED SCHUMANN-HEINK
Cleveland Plain Dealer Complimented Noted Singer
Two days, after Mime Schumann-Heink's most successful recital in Chicago, she appeared in Cleveland, singing before an audience which completely filled the great Masonic Hall in that city. James H. Rogers, noted American critic and composer, has the following criticism in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, under the date of March 2.
"Mine, Schnunnan-Heink has never sung in Cleveland, before a greater audience than the one that gave her a royal welcome in Mascino Hall last night. Every seat was sold even to the chairs in the box which serves as organ loft. The stage was packed with meums of egers entirely cut off on one side; and a goodly number of song lovers stood throughout the evening behind the topmost row of gallery seats.
"The vastness of the assemblage was in itself a tribute. There is some motherly matter about Mme. Sahu mum-u-Heink, something grandmotherly too, and everybody loves her for she comes on the stair and beams me up, on all sides, on sunday, and all and sunday, respond in right heavy fashion.
"So a recital by the famous contrabala is material for a human interest tervess as well as an occasion for discussion," she explained, as exemplified in her performance.
The Lawrence public and the University students will have the opportunity of hearing the incomparable controlls in recital on the evening of April 18, 2014. The $1,000 seats have been sold; but arrangements have been made whereby seventy-two more chairs can be placed in the auditorium which will be sold for $1.00.
