WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 TO BE OFFERED BY OAC PLAYERS "The Show Off," by George Kelly Is the best comedy ever written by an American," said Heywood Braun, outstanding dramatic critic. "Such human personality aa Is portrayed in this play has never been made more vivid, more truthful and more complete In the American theater.' Many favorable comments have been made by Mr. Braun on this comedy of George Kelly, famous playwright, to be presented by Na tional Collegiate Players of Oregon Agricultural college at the Capitol theater Thursday, Marcn zz. The plot centers around the show off, Aubrey Piper, a loud-mouthed character whose talkativeness and cockiness get him Into many trou bles. He is a $30-a-weck clerk who gives the impression that he can run everything, In I act, a financial wizard. Pate tries to change his habit of thought, but the Aubrey Piper whom we see at the close of the play la precisely tne jame per son who stalked into the first act. Mr. Braun believes the character of Aubrey Is no creature within the wings of the theater. He has been wrenched from life he has bumped against us in the subway and prob bly lives in the flat Just across the hall. Aubrey brings to us the real ization of the toughness of human fiber the truth that personality en dures the blows of circumstance. "George Kelly builds up the story around Aubrey Piper by countless Bmall strokes," said Mr. Braun. "By degrees he opens up the heart of t: j man. There he stand liar, braggart, egoist, but the very con sistency of his faults colors them with magniflcance. Be yourself, Mother Fisher,' cried Aubrey to his mother-in-law In time of stress and It Is the slogan which ho took to heart. There Is no need for anyone to say 'Be yourself, Aubrey he never Is tempted for a moment to be anyone else." UNIQUE PENALTY PAID BL YOUTH Muskegon, Mich., Mar. 21 (P) John Yokubones, 10, has discharged his first obligations under a sent ence given him a few days ago by Probate Judge Ruth Thompson to serve as a "big brother" to two mall boys he made fatherless two weeks ago when his car struck and killed Ployd Torrey. The youth, who works at a bench in a shop here, took several bundles, Includ ing toys, to the boys, Gene Torrey, Blx, and Paulie Torrey, eight years old, and promised to visit them again soon. He visited them at the home of their grandmother, Mrs. Jennlo Torrey, with whom they are now making their home, and saw them for the first time. He came away expressing a de sire to "do all I can for them." The woman probate Judge, who refused to permit prosecution of the youth, sentenced him to visit the father less children at least once every two weeks for two years and to spend at least $400 of his earnings for their support during that period. The unusual sentence is regarded us an experiment and Is attracting widespread attention here. DIDN'T WANT DOLE Stratford, Eng. (LP) The dole of 25 ih 11 lings, about $5, which the British government weekly distributes to each unemployed person, apparently holds no appeal for one workless man here. The man'j mother re cently complained that, although her son had been living with her several years, he failed to give her any money. She told the Judge that her son was "too lazy to get up and go for the dole". The probation officer was instructed to see to It that the on collected his bounty each week and turned It over to his mother.

At mid-term, Tom Duffy was added. All others on the squad had little or no experience as basketeers, but they were devel oped to the extent that they ranked as third nest In the state, and were almost equally as good as Wash ington high and Mer'ford. Just one fortunate shot might have let Salem top Medford, and given the Salem ltes a chance to drop Washington for the title.
