UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIII.
FAMOUS PIANIST TONIGHT
Harold Bauer, World's Greatest Player, Gives Recital in Robinson Gymnasium Tonight
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 9, 1915.
"The world's greatest pianist will give a recital, here in Lawrence, tonight," said Prof. C, S. Skilton today when seen by a Kansan man who has performed by Harold Bauer. "Most critics in England and the United States say that Harold Bauer is easily first among all pianists now before the public, and that he is one of the most popular in the world. Think of it." A man who has toured continents, and has held recitals in the greatest cities of the world, where audiences of thousands have come to hear him power, is to appear here in this small town of Lawrence tonight.
Encouraged by Paderewski "Mr. Bauer is making his seventh American tour; and it will probably even exceed his great record of two years ago, when he played in eight recitals in the course of the season.
"This man has played in concertss with the great Paderewski and from him received the encouragement to go on with his chosen career.
"The program tonight includes the most popular of Beethoven's Sonatas, the 'Appassionate', a word meaning 'sorrow', and the thudded Professor Skilton." "When asked as to its meaning the composer said, "Read Shakespeare' Tempest."
"The A Flint Ballade, by Chopin is a story told in music. Chopin had in mind a knight in Iolaid betrothed to a lady who was a fairy; to test his costume she wore a bridle and to other women during her absence, and immediately changed herself into another beautiful maiden and returned to put him to the test. Finding him susceptible to ber borrowed charms she lured him over a ladder and then revealed herself to him. She let him drown for his perfidy. The music does not seem to fit this story very well. Many prefer to see in it a maiden parting from her soild lover, vainly seeking pleasure during his absence and welcoming his trumpet return with joyous transports.
"The remainder of the program is directed to modern compositions."
All men will have the privilege to meet Mr. Bauer, at the University Club Smoker, given this evening at 9:30 o'clock in his honor.
TO LECTURE ON DRAMATICS
Former Belasco Play-reader Wil
Lecture in Fraser Chapel
November 15
Stuart Walker, originator of the Portmanteau theater, and David Belf asco's play-reader and general stage manager. Erasher Hall, November 15 at 4:30; Fraser Hall, November 15 at 4:30.
One of the subjects in the address will be Mr. Walker's dream, the Portmanteau theater, which is in part commercial, in part philanthropic and in very large part, art for art's sake; another, the practical craftsmanship, reaching after the art side of drama and after the so, the artless expression emotion because it is less difficult than mastering technique.
Sitting in his bath one day, he conceived the idea of the folding theater, suggested by the folding conveniences found in the studio. He set to work and without changing his original conception designed the tiny theater, which has the diminutive name of Portsmanteau, although it put up ten boxes weighing 250 pounds.
His lectures on dramatics were heard by the students of Leland-Nantucket and Berkeley, who will not but may hear, but will confine himself to his lecture subject.
W. O. Hake on Debate Team
Twenty-eight men were in the cry-
 Friday, for four days, de-
tailing sound against the University of Nebraska. In naming the succes-
ful contestants the Kansan yesterday
made a misstatement to the effect
that Edward C. Hake was chosen on
the squad. His brother, Wallace O.
Hake, was one of the successful
candidates.
W. Q. Hake on Debate Team
Arnott R. Lamb, '08 Law, football '06-'07, was in Lawrence Saturday attending the football game. Mr. Lamb is another football man who wore a mask and was practicing law in Coffeyville, and is a member of the state legislature.

Harold Reed, 17 Engineering, spent Saturday and Sunday in Ottawa.
FRESHIM AND SOPHOMORE
WOMEN WILL SCRIMAGM
The first practice scrimage between the freshman and sophomore teams will be held in the gymnasium immediately after the girls rally for each class. The gymnasium for each class will be on the floor to fight for their respective classes.
"This game will not affect the finals in any way," said Miss Pratt, "but I just want the other girls of the University to see the enthusiasm that the girl's are putting into even these practice games. The trouble is, the girls really don't know what they are missing by not coming out for the basketball game." In a world of exhilaration that goes with exercise which no girl would intentionally miss if she knew about it," ended Miss Pratt.
There will probably be music and some sort of an informal program, but the main idea is to get the girls to come out and show that the enthusiasm of K. U. is very much alive."
ON SIGNIFICANCE OF ART
Raymond Wyer Will Lecture in Fraser Hall Tomorrow Afternoon
Mr. Raymond Weyer, director of the Hackley Gallery of Fine Arts at Muskegon, Mich., will lecture at 4:50 tomorrow afternoon in Fraser chapel on the subject 'Art and Its Significance.'
Mr. Weyer is a man of national reputation in art circles and is connected with the largest are institute in the United States outside of the large cities. His lectures do not deal with history of art and lives of artists but deal with the art itself—the forms or pictures of sculpture. He endeavors to show the relation of art to its period and its environment.
Prof. F. R. Hamilton of the Extension Division wishes to emphasize the fact that the lectures that are being given, in Fraser chapel are not merely affairs and extends an invitation to any outsiders who care to attend.
UNUSUAL AD IN WINDOW.
NOT APPRECIATED BY OWNER
He was such a tiny mouse to cause io much trouble. He sat on his manhures back of a large plate glass bowl, covered with pink candy and nibbled at a delicious piece of bright, pink candy. Of course, the assebly hadn't any business to stop o watch him, because it attracted o watch him, because it so unusual--this astet fad in ads.
He sat up so straight and looked so wise and nibbled so delicately that it was a pleasure to watch him. The passerby had an idea that the proprietor would appreciate the joke, so she let him in the secret. She unanimously admitted an unintelligible exclamation and flew for an iron eradicator. The mouse stopped nibbling, cast a sorrowful glance at the passerby, and fled. The proprietor searched high and low for the little vargant, but finally gave up and began rather reluctantly, so it fell apart, not partly nibbled slices of candy.
he may be nature-faking, but the messybery declares that she heard a distinct, mousselike chuckle as she dined away.
To Bring Church Letters
The plan of an All-University Sunday has been followed for the last few years and so is not a new one, but more extensive plans are being made than ever before and a special feature is being emphasized ofhaventhespecialplan to teachers or join their church on that day. The idea of the plan as stated by Reverend Gordon B. Thompson who has the general management of the affair is to "turn the minds of the students to think about religious things and to come to church for the first time." That will catch a bigger view of what churches mean and will resolve to take up work with them."
To Argue Color Line
The University Debating Society will meet at seven-thirty Wednesday evening in the basement of Green Hall. The question for debate will be: "Resolved, That the white citizens of the South are justified in using all peaceable means to secure public peace."

The rally will center around a celebration of enthusiasm among the girls for the corshaking that will be done Saturday.

Not long ago a number of prizes were offered by the W. S. G. A. for the best pop songs for this rally, and a number of them will be tried out at the time of the wienie roast-ralty Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts at The University of Chicago.

"In this class we have a number of activities and can take part in them, making them whole-class affairs not limited to about one-sixth of the members of the class. If we can unite the juniors and make each member responsible for a part of the activity of the affair of the class, our administration will have been a success."
Jones added, "The success of the girl's mixer, the fact that Glacoe of the memorial committee has turned in a considerable amount of money for her work, which is to take place early in March are well under way, show that the class is awake.
