FACULTY TO APPEAR IN SPIRITUAL PLAY “Passing of Third Floor Back’’ to Dedicate Guild Theatre October 8 and 9. “The business of art la to show the beauty that underlie all things,’’ says the artist In the “ Passing of the Third Floor Back,’’ the play to be presented by the faculty of the Uni versity at the opening of the Guild theatre, in Johnson hall, October 8 and 9. The author, Jerome K. Jerome, had In his consciousness this quoted idea when he made it the business of his art to show the beauty that underlies even tho sordidness of a London boarding house. It Is hardly a play, rather a sort of parable, oonbanning p. prologue in which the eleven members of a boarding house are continually wrangling, backbiting and exhibiting snobbery, selfishness and sordidness. At this point, the ’Stranger,” played by Prof. A. F. lleddle, enters. In the intermediary acts following the prologue, transformation of each member of the house is accomplished by the “Stranger," through a series of' situations and through dialogue in which lie makes each of them see the good things in their characters and forget the petty meannesses. The epilogue finds ttie boarders living with each other, entirely trans formed, in serenity and good fellow ship. The “Stranger" slips from their midst as quietly as he came, his mis sion is accomplished. Nowhere in the play has an Inkling been given as to his identity, but it is understood that he is meant to be Christ re-ln carnated in the form of a modern “gentleman.” University of Pennsylvania, Phila delphia—According to an approxi mation of the total enrollment In the University this year, it is esti mated that about 7,500 students have registered. This number, which will probably be Increased by late regis trations, eclipses the total of last year by S00. OREGON IS PENALIZED Irle, Lucas and Abrahams Are Stars for Vsiting Cong regationalists.
