Freshman Views Vaudeville
Practice—Oh My!
Sees Many Notables, Also Cos
tumes; Requested to Leave
By B. G. and H. L.
W ell, 1 had heard a lot about the
j Junior Vodvil so thought that J
might go u] and look it over, win
tering the stately portals of our
most austere and ancient Villard
ball, it was somewhat of a shock to
hear some very snappy strains of
joyous jazz emulating from the
assembly hall. 1 remembered that
four years ago, or maybe it was
three, that two students and one
professor were removed from the
institution for playing Beethoven in
the same assembly. I had a few
qualms and wondered what the dis
astrous result of this careless type
of entertainment might be. J was
especially worried about Stevie
Smith.
So, when I got there I saw a great
flash of extraordinarily thin legs
and knobby knees. That didn *\
make much difference because the
practice costumes were scanty
enough to make one forget the de
tails. And there was Maxine
Glover, our own rehearsal pianist,
hammering away at one of Boone
Hendricks’ melodies as though it
were a matter of life and death.
She really should have been danc
ing. Just then Virginia Moore
would have to shout out above the
crowd, and all operations immedi
ately ceased. It was just as though
Me Bride had called ‘Tut’’ for the
campus tnu\ ie scene.
After they had that out of their
system, the rehearsal took on a new
life, .first l saw Anne Ntange, the
Delta Gamma “Joan Crawford,” in
the second row, and strangely
enough, Bill Gillette was right be
hind her. o
Then right along side of Gillette
were a couple of very stiff kneed
chorus men by the name of Hunt
and Dunham, having a grand time.
And who should be in the middle
of the line but the Delt flash and
silver throated oriole bird, Mauriee
Kinneyf He was swell. That just
about did up the row of men, ex
eept for Grosby Owens, who really
seemed to have only one reason for
being there, and that wasn’t darn
ing.
Then 1 should immediately take
notice of the girls again. I just
couldn’t seem to keep my eyes off
of the pony chorus. They trotted
so gracefully. And who should we
see but Avis Hartsmun, right down
r.in the front row. ft he is a Chi
Omega. ,
Just about the time that I was
really starting to enjoy Betty t-Sliip
lev’s and Helen Katenbrink’s cos
tumes, that fellow Hendricks came
along and told me that this was
HIS show, and that I might leave
now anytime. Jo Kalston bellowed
out a husky goodbye as .1 blushed
my way out of the doors.
FOOTBALL DRAWS FROSH
Nine lettermen Working at Spring
Practice; Show Up Well
The freshman class is well repre
sented in spring football practice
with nine fresh numeral men show
ing up as promising material for
next year’s varsity team. The fresh
men who are working under Coach
MeKwan and Merrill Hagan, line
coach, are: Irvin Scluiltze, taekle:
Al Browne, half; Jack lirdlev, end;
Gene Tnrbell, end; William Hayden,
guard; Erie Forsta, center; Neal
Carter, center; and John Londnhl,
half.
These men are being groomed for
next season and it is certain that
some of them will see action on the
varsity next year. Jack lirdloy and
Gene Tarboll are showing up.iiij
great style at end, while Forsta at |
center is a real find. Sehultze and j
West, two husky tackles, are the]
best bets for that position. Both
need but a little experience to qual
ify them for regulars.
HIGH SCHOOL BILLS PLAY
.\ three act comedy, “The Col
onel’s Maid,” by (’. Leona Dal
ryiuple, will be presented by the
University high school dramatic
club April 25 and 2(3. The play will
be given at Guild ball and is under
the direction of Mrs. Edna Assen
heinier and Miss Mary Goldsmith,
both of whom have done work with
the Guild Hall players.

REVIEWS WINNING SHORT STORIES
Work of Winners in Edison Marshall Short Story Contest
Found Pleasing by Freshman Critic
By Bob Guild
(Tho following is :i review of tlio
short story, “Tliou Ask Not Wlioro
fore’’ liv Carvel Nolson, which won
first place in the Edison .Marshal
Short Story contest, it nil the throe
other stories which won honornhlo
mention. They are: “In Any Lan
guage” by Robert Hunt, “fast the
I’op-eoin Wagon” by Alice Krieknel,
and "Fern” by Wilfred Brown).
"Then ask not wherefore, here,
alone,
Conversing as I may,
1 sit upon this old grey stone
And dream my time away.”
With those words we are trans
ported to the sleepy streets of a
middle western town, where bees
are humming, birds are resting, and
the world is asleep. We move slow
ly from event to event, as though
we, too, were living in the dull heat
of the dusty August. Lovable old
Balt MeCready, the dreamer, is by
our side. He is a character of
which Booth Tarkington jvould have
been proud.
With him we dream of the day
when Littleton, Illinois, will no
longer be a slumbering little town,
and with him we share his slow,
lazy, optimistic dreams. We all
know his nagging wife, his jobless
son-in-law, the mean old banker, his
sceptical cronies. They are old
friends whom we greet with open
arms.
His scheme is our scheme, his
triumph is our triumph. We rejoice
with him at the discomfiture of his
old enemy, the skinflint banker. In
fact Carvel Nelson’s story, “Then
ask not wherefore, here, alone,” is
real and close to us. We like it.
1 wonder why people persist in
writing short stories about swash
buckling firemen and gin drinking
sailors and the pathetic picture of
a homely man looking for a beau
tiful woman. 1 wonder why they
do. Maybe it’s because they’d like
to swashbuckle and drink gin and
look for beautiful women them
selves. Here is a trite story which
everyone but myself has liked, so
it must be good. Only it might ns
veil have been a homeless collie
with brown eyes ns a woman.
Big Jerry Kilvin sat in the sit
ting room of liis small house. He
wiis drinking com whiskey. Being
the swashbuckling fireman he was
iiscil to the fifrv effects and got
a wiiy with .something like three
pints. Another (iungu Din. For
ten years deny had looked for a
lover. For ten years, oil every Sat
urday night, he had gotten drunk
and looked for his love. Tonight
he found her when she begged him
for food.
We are introduced again to all
our old friends, .terry, the pathetic,
frail little girl, begging on the
streets, the starving baby brother,
and the cruel step-father. Jerry
has to beat up three or four incon
sequential persons, but he gets bis
woman, and the kill. lluz/.a!
shouted Toni Hover. Virtue tri
umphs!
The name of this story, by the
way, is, “In Any Language,” which
probably means that one will find
it in any country in the world
where magazines are sold for a
dime.
We look at life through the eyes I
of a pop-corn vendor. I)ny after I
day lie sits in hot wagon and ,
watches people go by. He also won
ders where all the things lie sees
in the papers happen. He doesn’t
know,1 but he sees it all. It is a
cross-section of life. Old Jim is a
good character. We see him plain
ly, and are not told a word about
him. All day long he sits and thinks
about beef stew, while lie cheerfully
greets escaped bandits, bank rob
bers, run away girls, and policemen.
Of course he doesn't know.
“Past tlio Pop-corn Wagon” is
not n very heavy story, or a very
long one, lint it is enjoyable. I
wonder if the author was thinking
about all the people who sit and
think about beef stew while life
passes them by. Maybe she was.
11’s a good story.
Hail to the mighty fern! The
story of a man who was linked but
didn’t know it. Stories like that
are always sueresses. He fights,
and is beaten, and comes back to
fight again. America! This is the
farmers’ plea to Burbank. If lie
hnd done something about ferns
some time ago, this would never
hnd happened.
Well, here is Matthew, trying to
make a success of tin1 little farm
in the hollow. Kveryone warned
him of the ever present fern, but he.
is a true hero, and dives into the
lmltie. There was also Mary, and
together they are good Jean Strat
ton Porter characters. They phil
osophize about life, and worship
trees, all the while they are trying
to kill ferns so that they might
make their strawberries grow. It
remained for a fire to put him on
his lmek, a fire that ho himself
started, in order to beat the ferns.
But he got up again, and was buck
In the battle, the brave man.
You might guess it, lml the titlu
of this is “Tins Fern.” Oil well.
