The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII--NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1919 NUMBER 71 "SAFE AT COLLEGE" CLEVERLY PLAYED BY IOWA ENGINEERS Dethlefs As a Rookie Puts Across Laughs At Expense of the Lieutenant HEROINE WINS FLOWERS Vadeville Numbers Between Acts Give Zest And Merriment To Large Crowd Much vaudeville and music bound together with a fair amount of plot made up to the engineers' play, "Safe At The College," presented at the Englert theatre last Tuesday. As a whole the play was cleverly and carefully planned, more so than many of its predecessors. "Bobs" Dethlefs as a rookie from Zwingle, Iowa, filled his part to perfection and put across the majority of laughs. His "All right!" and "Whatever you say goes, sergeant," always brought a response from the audience. However, he 'crabbed' the lieutenant's part by impromptu speeches which left the latter without any cues. During the dress rehearsal the lieutenant carried off his part very well, and in the evening extrecated himself from embarrassing situations with ease. The leading lady's first remark in a deep bass voice won the biggest laugh of the evening. Leonard Rohret, the girl back home, was a stunning brunette. It was a joy to watch him perambulate across the stage, The way he caught his bouquet was an accomplishment no girl can claim. Lester S. Wright as sergeant was typical of S. A. T. C., non-coms. His orders to "Shake a leg" and "Put that gun on your shoulder" were given with such vim that no one argued with him. Charles Maruth, in the role of Roland Jackson, an Iowa S. A. T. C. soldier, recuperated from the flu only to discover that his sweetheart had come to "Iowa" to be his nurse. The mandolin and guitar music by Maruth and Boynton was god. When William Gallaher, the sailor with the adorable uniform" was disappointed in love, he merely curled his lip and said, "Oh, let him have her," and all joined in singing "You can Have It." Of the vaudeville stunts, the gipsy dance by Paul Mercer and Robert Luscomb, and "Shorty" Hanapel's act, with diamond studdied clubs, were the best. 'A Courtship in Rags" was very clever. The physical drill by eight gobs and Bradish and Morrison's globe trot were well given. The Katter and the Stokes twins brought a good laugh in the magician's trick. The chorus put zip and pep in the songs. READERS, ATTENTION This is the last issue of The Iowan during the second quarter. Publication will be resumed on Thursday morning, March 27 on a four issue a week basis, the paper appearing on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. The extra issue each week will be delivered free to all subscribers. Show yourself a real time during vacation. Eva Richardson of Albia will enter school here again next quarter. Mrs. Nellie S. Aurner's condition is reported to be about the same. STUDENT PRESENT PLAYS Emma Dumke, Director of Class--Is Credited for Success Students of the educational dramatics class presented two one act plays last night in the natural science auditorium. "The Violin Maker of Cremona" by Francois Coppee and "The Finger of God" by Percival Wilde were the plays. Both productions were creditably performed. The work of Charles Brown as the hunchback in "The Violin Maker" showed unusual ability and he deserves special mention. The acting of Frances Garris playing opposite him as Giannina was also of high merit. In the "Finger of God", the story of a great temptation and how it was overcome, John L. Murphy and Martha Darrah in the leading roles played convincingly. This is the last appearance of the dramatic class for the quarter. Credit for the performance outside that due the participants themselves goes to Miss Emma Dumke, director of the class. LAUDS ITALY'S PART IN THE GREAT WAR Dr. Charles Upson Clark Tells University Audience of Conditions at Piave That Italy has played a far more important part in the world war than she has been given credit for, was the statement made by Dr. Charles Upson Clark, director of classical studies at the American Academy in Rome in his lecture here Monday night. Six times as many ruined villages are to be found in Italy as in Belgium, he declared. Italian soldiers have been among the most courageous of the allies. The holding of the Piave river for two days against the invading Austrians by a small number of 18 and 19 year old Italian boys should rank in importance, he insisted, and be as well remembered as the battle of the Marne. Owing to the part that she has played in the war, Dr. Clark does not think Italy's demands on the other side of the Adriatic are unreasonable. Slides were shown during the latter part of the evening, illustrating the ruined villages and the various Italian war activities. These pictures brought out clearly the excellence of Italian road-making. Professor Clark has visited all the Italian armies on both official and informal visits. In company with Secretary Gilenza and Lord Methuen, the Governor-General of Malta, he was entertained by Victor Emanuel, the Duke of Oosta, General Diaz, and the Prince of Wales. He went through the famous air raid at Padua, Aug. 25. IRVING ELECTS OFFICERS Irving Institute has elected the following officers for the next quarter: president, D. Richard Young; vice-president, Harold Rigler; recording secretary, Harold Gibeaut; corresponding secretary, Lloyd E. Anderson. Edward Chamberlin retains his position as treasurer. Initiation will be held at the next meeting, March 28. Beulah Mussetter left Wednesday for her home at Victor after a visit at the Gamma Phi Beta house. MARION MACDOWELL TO INTERPRET HER HUSBAND'S WORKS Artist Will Appear in Piano Concert in Natural Science Auditorium March 26. STUDIED WITH HER AUNT First Concert to be Given By University Music Council After Spring Vacation Mrs. Marion Nevins MacDowell, who will appear in a piano concert in the natural science auditorium Wednesday evening, March 26, is considered the best exponent of the MacDowell works. She stands unique and alone in the musical world today. Mrs. MacDowell was born in New York, and at a very early age evinced her musical talent. She studied under her aunt until she was eighteen years ould, when she went to Europe to study under Clara Schumann. However, when she learned that this would require one year's study with one of the daughters, to be admitted to Frau Schumann's classes, Mrs. MacDowell sought the advice of Joachim Raff who advised her to study under Edward MacDowell, the American composer. During this period of four years' study, a close relationship arose between the apt pupil and the earnest teacher, which resulted in their marriage a year later upon Mr. MacDowell's return to this country. Although she was prepared for a concert career, Mrs. MacDowell decided, much against her husband's wishes, to subordinate her own plans to assist him in his greater work of composition. Since the composer's death, Mrs. MacDowell has been touring the United States, interpreting his works. She has charge of the MacDowell Memorial association at Peterborough, N. H., where the 1919 Biennial of the National Federation of Musical clubs will be held. Her Iowa City concert will include many of the more familiar MacDowell nature sketches. OFFICIAL NOTICE All students now registered in the University who expect to complete their courses between March 27 and June 13, and to receive degrees, and certificates at the University convocation to be held in June, are requested to call at the Registrar's office immediately, to fill out a card thus making formal application for the degrees, or certificates, which they expect to receive. All such students should write their names on these application cards exactly as they wish them to appear in their diplomas. Please give prompt attention to this request, for otherwise a student who may meet all other requirements for graduation at the June convocation may fail to be included in the list of candidates recommended for degrees and certificates. Another reason for very prompt action is that it is necessary for us to know immediately the name of every candidate for graduation in June for the purpose of determining who are entitled to honors at graduation, and in Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa. Respectfully, H. C. DORCAS, Registrar. IOWA LOSES STAR PITCHER Rhinehart of Ackley Signs Up With St. Louis Nationals Iowa's hopes for a star pitching staff were somewhat jolted when Arthur Rhinehart, star freshman pitcher of last year signed up for a spring tryout with the St. Louis Nationals. Cardinal scouts have been watching the Ackley youth and have lost no time in grabbing the amateur star. Last year he pitched for Kerwick's freshman team and gave varsity the stiffest of opposition from the firing line. With Hamilton and Belding to work with he would have made a valuable twirler for Coach Jones' squad and especially on the long eastern trips that the Hawkeyes will take. Some of the best teams in the conference will be met and that means that the pitchers will have a heavy schedule to face. If Rhinehart make good he will have an enviable record. He is but 19 years old, and stands more than six feet tall and weighs 175 pounds. He is a southpaw, with good control, a fast ball and wide variety of benders. IOWA MUSEUM IS A MODEL FOR COUNTRY East Looks to Iowa to Furnish Workers and New Ideas for Museums Iowa stands at the top in training for museum work. The largest natural museum in the country, the American museum in New York, when asked by a state educational institution of the East where they might find a man to develop their proposed museum referred to the museum school at the University as a model and as capable of supplying a man to direct such work. As a result of the inquiry made to Professor Homer R. Dill, museum expert at the University, the University of Ohio will model its new museum after Iowa's and will take as its taxidermist some student of Professor Dill's. This student, who has not yet been selected, will accompany the Ohio man to Alaska where he will spend twenty months in collecting specimens; then he will return to Ohio and start building up the new museum. The Alaska trip will be undertaken in a few weeks. Professor Dill has discovered a number of unusual methods for preserving birds and animals, and this, with his artistic settings for groups, has led to the widespread fame of the University of Iowa museum. His expedition to the Mississippi Delta, Laysan Island in the Pacific, and northern Canada has furnished him with unusual specimens. O'CONNOR ELECTED SECRETARY Lieut. Edward O'Connor was elected secretary of the Storm Lake Commercial club by the board of directors and will take up his new duties at once. Lieutenant O'Connor is a graduate of the liberal arts college and at the time war was declared was a student in the law college. He will be the first full-time secretary of the club. Zetagathian literary society has elected the following officers: President, Gerhardt W. Gotke; vice-president, R. J. N. Steussy; recording-secretary, Warren P. Lawrence; corresponding-secretary, Earl W. Wells; treasurer, Eugene P. Murray. WELLER HEADS DRIVE FOR LIBERTY LOAN IN JOHNSON COUNTY Says People Will Respond Cheerfully in Fifth Campaign Because This is Joy Loan GETS STATE WIDE PRAISE Sec. Glass Will Speak at Chicago Meeting of Directors Friday--Weller and Raymond Attend Prof. C. H. Weller, University editor and head of the department of Greek and history of art, has been appointed chairman of the Fifth loan campaign of Johnson county by the federal reserve bank. Announcement of his appointment was made at the Commercial club this week. The drive itself will take place in April. Director Last Year Professor Weller is president of the Iowa Ad club, was on the board of directors of the Iowa City Commercial club for two years and was director of the financial campaign in the University last year for war work of the Y. M. C. A. which raised $15,000, a sum equal to the total contribution from the rest of Johnson county including Iowa City. He supervised the publicity for the other Liberty loans in this county. His work has been deemed by John M. Grimm, district Liberty loan chairman, as the most thorough of that carried on in any county in the state. H. W. Raymond, secretary of the Commercial club, will aid him in the executive work for the coming loan. Success Assured Success for the Fifth loan is assured, according to Professor Weller who calls it a "joy loan", and adds: "A great victory has been won and this is a time of gladness. People are going to subscribe cheerfully to this loan as a means of showing their gratitude for the triumph which this country has attained. Of course, we are going to put the thing across and are going to oversubscribe our quota. I have that much faith in the people of Johnson county." Professor Weller received his B. A. degree from Yale in 1895 and his Ph. D in 1905. He is a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Delta Chi, and Rotary club. He has been director of University publicity for thirteen years and has built up this phase of the machinery of Iowa to a position of prominence and value. Has Varied Interests Another side of Professor Weller's versatility in his direction of the summer session which is constantly growing here. Enrollment in summer sessions in other Universities and colleges is almost universally decreasing. As an author, his "Athens and Its Monuments" is regarded as an excellent literary production and an authorative treatment of a subject in which he is a specialist. His extensive travels in Greece contribute to his wide range of information and make his teaching practical as well as theoretical. Accompanied by Mr. Raymond, Professor Weller will go to Chicago Friday to attend a meeting of directors of the middle western district at which Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, will speak.
