For the first time, Lawrence playgoers will have the opportunity of serving as a "first night" audience for a play that will be presented several more times. While Lawrence will probably not have another opportunity of seeing the performance, Lawrence will see the play as part of the University publicity campaign of the Extension Division.
TO GO ON ROAD
Two performances will be given in DeSoto the afternoon and night of Saturday, January 15. Some week end during the month the cast will travel to Chanute for a Friday matinee, Iola for an evening performance on Saturday night. The manager of an Atchison theater will come to Lawrence Monday to see the play, preparatory to contracting for a performance there. All the elements which are required to make a good play are embodied in these plays, according to critics who have watched rehearsals. The play itself, written by Hubert Henry Davies, one of the greatest living playwriters, combines a strong plot with humorous and dramatic situations. A detective and a love eluent vie with each other predominance throughout the show.

The play calls for a better display of dramatic ability than most, plays the club has presented, according to Professor Arthur MacMurray, the coach Butt. he further maintains, the cost is well able to produce the required
At the regular meeting Tuesday night of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, the following officers were elected: Howard Smith, president; Katherine M. Johnson, secretary; Martin M. Johnson, historian;
Tentative plans were also approved which provide for a large general open meeting of the faternity at which some alumnus of prominence in the engineering field will be asked to speak. The exact date has not as yet been decided upon but it will probably be held early this spring.
Margaret Mathews, as the scheming Mrs. Gorringe, whose stained diamond necklace, "with drops," forms the basis of the plot, carries most of the humorous element. Fred Prebble as Captain Mowbray, retired, has a number of strong dramatic scenes. Jessie Martindale in the part of Mr. Jarland, Jude Duggan in the part of a retired colonel, present an excellent pair. David Sheffrey, the weak and vacillating lover of Isabelle Kret, Betty Bradbury, supports much of the dramatic element, and furnishes a touch of tragedy at the end of the play. Dorothea Eng plays the lively young sister of Isabelle Iotpets takes the part of Miss Potts, an elderly friend of the juries. Joe Schwartz Detective inspector of Scotland Vard, finds herself in a new role for him. Spencer Gard plays Charles, a footman.
The seat sale indicates a big audise, according to the business manager, but plenty of desirable seats can be sold at the Bound Corner drug store.

any student in the University will be
invited and students in the School of
Business will be especially urged

Snapshots and write-ups of the work of Oreed Training School will also be included in the section. Because of the large number of seniors at Oreed High this year, it is expected that interest will be shown in the section.
