Campus Play
Makes Final
Run Tonight
‘Queen’s Husband’
Pleases Attendants
In Third Showing
Given Last Night
By WILFRED ROADMAN
“The Queen's Husband” will be
given for the last time tonight in
the Guild theater starting at 8:00.
The court comedy delighted atten
dants last night with the matters
of state and love that runs through
Robert E. Sherwood's tale of
royalty, romance, and revolution as
presented in the University theat
er’s production under the direction
of Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt.
The audience was again charmed
with John Casteel's inimitable
character ization of luke - warm
King Eric VIII and it liked Alice
Hult’s interpretation of a “true”
queen who placed duty to her
country above everything.
Miss Booth, Barclay Do Well
Portia Booth and Charles Bar
clay displayed their love-making
talents to everyone’s satisfaction.
As the indulgent, worldly cal
who is to marry the king's daugh
ter, Bill Cottrell as Prince William
does a small but effective bit of
work.
The game of checkers between
Phipps, the king’s favorite foot
man and his majesty, also proves
to be one of the plays most inter
esting moments.
No Let-Down Noticed
In general, the play suffered no
let-down in tempo or spirit as the
result of a week’s rest, as the ac
tors seemingly enjoyed themselves
as much as the audience.
Tickets for tonight's final show
ing of “The Queen's Husband” are
on sale today from 10 a. m. until
8 p. m. in the theater box office
in the administration building.
Tickets may be reserved by tele
phoning the box office, 3300, local

Student Sets Forth Secret
Woes of Every Roommate
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
Host students are inclined to
bear the foibles of their roommates
in more or less anguished silence,
hut a University of Wisconsin co
ed burst into articulate annoyance
recently, and in a communication
to the Gripers’ Club, student paper
column, set forth the woes of all
roommates everywhere.
‘‘My dear, dear roommate,” she
wrote, "we have now enjoyed each
other’s delightful company for
three whole weeks. When I first
met you, that beautiful maiden’s
smile of yours, your every-gay dis
position, your happy-go-lucky air
assured me that our school life to
gether would be semester after
semester of bliss. Certain minor
things have come up that irk me.
I have tried to tell them to you
time and again, but when I see
you go blithely through the day, a
personification of a ray of sun
shine, I haven’t the heart to take
the chance of spoiling your happi
ness. So, my beloved roommate, I
am taking this opportunity to get
these irksome things off my mind,
out of my hair. I know you won't
read this, and even if you do it
will do no good. At any rate,
sweetheart, here is what I increas
ingly can’t stand,

grin off your kisser.
“(b) When I lend you silk stock

“(c) Who cares how popular
you were in your home town? The

of forever fixing you up with
dates, consequently making him-1

Psychologist Taylor Gets
Queer Inquiry for Advice
Psychologists arc confronted
with the queerest things! The
other day H. R. Taylor, chairman
of the department of psychology
in the University, received a letter
from the Mail-Well Envelope com
pany of Portland, asking learned
counsel upon tire subject of vision

It seems that the company ran
an ad stating that “87 per cent of
all impressions are received
through the eyes.” Some customer
in Salt Lake City was self-think
ing enough to question the veracity
of the statement, and wrote to the
company asking for verification of
it. A form letter for their sales
campaign had been followed, and

suited in discovering that every
one had taken the statement as
an “accepted fact.”
So, they wrote to Dr. Taylor
whose research explained, in part:
"Professor Griffitts of Michigan
reported studies of this kind in
which 90 per cent of his subjects
relied mainly upon visual imagery.
This, however, is not the same
thing . . .”
No definite study has yet been
found upon which the original
statement might have been based.
