Maxine Elliott Yearns For Life on a Farm So She Tells Student
Star in "Lord and Lady Algy"
Finds University Audience
Unusually Appreciative
"My idea of perfect happiness is life on a farm," said Maxine Elliott rather wearily, as the ninth "super" approached her behind the scenes, and asked her to write her name on his program. Miss Elliott is starring with William Faversham in "Lord and Lady Algy" which was presented at the Bowersock展. The night the glorious velvet-and-rose riding costume which appeared in the second act, but the whip drooped in her hand, and she looked completely tired out—a marked contrast to her stage presence.
"Your University women are much prettier," said Miss Elliott, "than the women who appeared in the ball-room scene in Kansas City. They are more youthful, and freshly attractive."
"I am very, very tired," she said. "We've had a number of 1-night stands, and this week will be a continuation of them." Faversham's company will play in Topola tonight and Wichita Wednesday night. "But it's worth the extra effort to play to university audience. People in UniTeach are incredibly intelligent and appreciative. Students are youthful and exuberant. They are enthusiastic, and meet players more than half-way."
Maxine Elliott asked the "super" how many men in the University had served in the war, where they are now, and whether the University has a distinct military unit in France. Her interest in the war is very genuine, for she gave two years, 1915 and 1916, to relief work in Belgium. Half her fortune, which was considerable, was spent in building homes for the refugee women and children of that devastated country.
Miss Elliott is enthusiastic-bershef She was interested in the amateur dramatic work done in the University and questioned the lucky "super" who had been a performance artist of length as to dramatic activities and productions at K. U.
Miss Elliott is a perfect example, according to her managers, of the new spirit between England and America. She is very fond of both countries, and has an English home and one on this side. She has divided her time about evenly between the two countries, but she last few years. Miss Elliott is what stage people call a "road star"—she plays to capacity houses and is as fully appreciated all over the United States as she is in New York.
Faversham and Ellott are among the few remaining members of the old school of artists, which included Sothern, Marlowe, Maude Adams, and Henry Miller. The stars in "Lord Lady Jadagh" led the establishment of the old Empire Stock Company of New York, a dramatic organization with which most of the best known American and English actors of the past fourth century were affiliated.

Native of India Tells Of Conditions in India Before Graduate Club
Parahaman Singh, a native of India, who is taking work for a doctor's degree in the University of Kansas, gave an interesting talk of his own life and native country, before the Graduate Club Saturday. Miss Lulu Brookwalter, who has been a missionary to India for six years and thoroughly undertakes the natives and their customs, told of the traditions and bribe she used the native symbols and depicted the length of time taken to write an Indian song illustrating it by Indian music.
"America a Fountain of Learning for Us," Said Pardaman Singh
"He who is in a hurry is deficient of common sense," said Miss Brook-
Mr. Singh is a graduate of a northern Punjab University of India and belongs to the Sikh people or the Soldiers. He has traveled 18,000 miles since leaving India, in 1914 intending to go to France or Germany to study industry and commerce with the intention of applying his knowledge of it to India. He reached the Suez Canal as war was declared and proceeded to England where he studied law and medicine, but soon left for the United States arriving in California.
"I consulted several catalogues of universities," said the speaker," and decided to come to the University of Kansas because I believed that it offered me the best course, in sociology and economics."
"We hear little of the backward nations. As long ago as 2000 B. C," continued Mr. Singh, "but the Aryan race came from Asia minor into India and conquered the people. They divided the natives into four castes; Kshatriyas or the warriors; Vaisyas or farmers and the Sundras or menial laborers."

The speaker told of the universities which were developed, six 'of which are famous for solving theories of the Universe. He explain the philosophy of India and the Brahmain, Buddhist and other Hindu religions.
"Early in the history of India," he continued, "art of all kinds was wide spread. About 400 A. D. Chinese students went to India. In 600 A. D. other foreigners went there. There was a good educational environment." Every village had a small republic and each had its own officials and merchants.
"There were eighteen famies between 1100 and 1745," Mr. Singh continued, "but between 1876 and 1900 there were many more. The training of the Indian people has been too much toward asceticism and people coming from the outside have taken advantage of her resources.
"Universities were established throughout India and were supported by contributions of the people and the princes. It was a custom in India to hold a period of fasting every five years and to spend at that time, any taxes collected by the princess for the benefit of the people.
caused a change in this condition. The people of India weathered the storm of Mohammedan and in 1600 A. D. were flourishing. The Portuguese and English, however, soon came to India and conditions were worse again."
"Agriculture, art and commerce were all in good condition but the Mohammedans came from Arabia and
"The Oriental people are being awakened; Japan has learned her lesson," he said, "and they are beginning to know that they cannot always remain secluded at home. Many of them have travelled to Asia and other western countries to gain knowledge that they may take back to their own countries.
"The United States is a fountain of learning for us," he concluded. She stands for the democracy that President Wilson is so nobly upholding and that Abraham Lincoln secured for the slave class."
Mr. Singh displayed the process of making several beautiful Indian shawls and tapestries which he brought with him from India.
