The Crucible was presented by the Senior class of the School of AHPA' culture before a fair sized audience at the Temple theater Saturday night. The play, a four-act comedy-drama bb' Edgar Selwyn, well adapted for ama- teur performance, gave excellent op- -portunity for character work. The members of the cast fitted into their parts very well, and under the direc- tion of Mr Maurice Clark, ll member of the Kosmet Club at the University of Nebraska, had developed consid- erable ability in. portraying dlflicult characters. The School of Agriculture orchestra kept the audience ln a good humor while waiting for the curtain to go up . The Crucible of Experience de- pended for its humor on character rather than situation, although one se- rious situation in the last act appealed to the students as irresistibly funny and was greeted with prolonged daugh- was the country a large- nmg by win his ter and applause. The story familiar one of the untried boy and his experiences in city, a welcome change being having the boy return home to success Tom Wilson, the inexperi- enced boy, goes to New York to ac- cept a position, urged by his mother and his sweetheart, Jane Belknap, who has given him a year in which to make good. He meets the usual temptations and failures. Saved from suicide by Fred Merkle, a newspaper man. Tom enters into partnership with him and Joe Weinstein, a theatrical ticket specuiator, who is temporarily affluent as the result of a hunch. The newspaper which they start in Tom's home town proves a great suc- cess and Tom is winning his way back into Jane's favor when the paper of which he ls business manager, threat- ens an expose of her father Mr Bel- knap is led to see that his course is wrong, the story is suppressed, and the play ends with everyone satisfied -unless it be Hezekiah Jenks, Mr. Be1knap's secretary, who aspired in vain to Jane's hand, James Grifhth as Tom Wilson was as irresponsible and charming as a pleasing personality, great faith in hu- man natnre, inexperience and an in- dulgent mother could make him. One doubted whether his experience had' altered him as much as the author' would have us suppose. but Fern Dick- son made Jane Belknap so convincing- ly sensible and well balanced that one had no fear for their future happiness since Tom seemed quite willing to be managed. Perhaps the most interest- ing character was Merkel, as portrayed by Rudolph Sanstedt. His understand-- ing of human nature, his appreciation of the home which he found with Tom's mother, his loyal and unselhsh friendship, all covered by a gruif ex- terior, made him a favorite with' the audience. The most amusing charac- ter, without doubt, was Joe Weinstein, Allen Kennedy was as consistently slangy, as superstitious, as grasping and as ill bred a New Yorker as could be found anywhere, and ye one felt tContinued on page 41 188 SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1916.

Instead they returned ln a 'butchered form They were de- feated 29-l9. The score really does not justify the quality of play given out by South Omaha, They are a team that is to be feared and respect- ed. The flrst half was close and hard fought. Close guarding featured, which made basket shooting very dini- cult. The first half ended 10-4 in favor of the Aggies The good work of Root, Ohlheiser and the center for S. O was above par The second half was a signal for a spurt by both teams in basket shoot ing. The S. O team really lost the game by taking too many chances on long shots. S. O. made a spurt and came up to the Aggies, but realizing the danger, the Farm team began to display a whirlwind exhibition of team .work and basket shooting. The game ended 29-19 in favor of the Aggies The second game lwalkawayj ol the evening was staged by the Freshles and the Juniors, the school cham- pions. It really could not be classi- fied among good basketball games. The Freshies were completely out- classed by the larger and stronger Juniors. The Freshies put up'a game light, but lt was hopeless. They never had a chance from the start The Juniors shot backet after basket, while the Freshles looked on with dls- may We hate to mention the score, but as a matter of courtesy to the Juniors 'it must be ddne. The score was 23-3 in favor of the Juniors . Commandant One grandfatlEr living? Is he on your father's or mother's side? Freshy: Oh, 'e varies, sir: 'B varies.

The music was furnished by Warde's orchestra and he sure put up themusic in a way that pleased everybody, The dancing started at 9' o'ciock, and lasted until 12 o'clock.
