Old, Exciting Days
HEAD OF U. S. C. GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT HAS KNOWN HOST OF FAMOUS WESTERNERS AND EEEN A FOOTBALL CAPTAIN, JOURNALIST, AND EXPLORER, AS WELL AS PROFESSOR
Few people in the audience, recognized the chapel of the old college building, scene of so many big events in the history of the university, a complete stage had been built, with lighting effects, on a par with the average professional stage. Too much credit cannot be given to John Oliver, the stage carpenter, and Leslie Waffer-man, the electrician. Much of the success of the plays was due to these men. students in the College of Oratory.
CAMPUS LIKED PLAYS
Representatives of the several little theater movements in Los Angeles, | were in the audience. Proof was given ! by the campus that it welcomed a movement, similar to that carried on n Wisconsin and at Harvard.	t
First on the program wras a charming comedy, “He Said and She Said.” Briefly, the ploY tells of the gossip who comes into a honeymoon home and tries to fcreak up a life-long friendship between Felix, the husband. Enid, the wife, and Diana, the friend. The sue cess of the play depended almost entirely upon the delivery of the lines. Probably there was too little action, hut the four players lived their parts, and were acceptable in every instance. Inez Puckett, as the gossip, had the chance for showing histrionic skill, and made the best of her opportunities. Not a point was lost. Betty Wheat, as Diana, made a charming friend, rising with true spirit 4o the climax. Alice Ingram played Enid, the wife. Miss Ingram had depth and feeling in her role of the puzzled wife, who wants to believe her husband and friend, hut cannot. Marquis Busby, as the husband. conveyed the lighter parts of his role in the “but” scene successfully, as he did his heavier scenes.
“ADDIO” VERY SUCCESSFUL
" vddio,” a bit of life in an eastside akery shop of Ne\y York followed the I comedy. This plffy is an exceedingly j difficult one, dealing with the search ! of a little Italian man for his sweet-
the author of the play is particularly adept. R#al drama, however, is combined with the comedy so that neither is sacrificed for the other.
CONFLICT BETWEEN BROTHERS
“The Lucky One” is the story of a conflim between two brothers. Of course, there is a woman connected with the affair. The elder brother finally denounces his younger brother. ‘The Lucky One,” and violently condemns him for his unwitting good fortune. The younger brother’s comeback, and the ultimate solution, is one of the things which only the presentation of the play w ill reveal.
Among the parts offered are. an English barister, a youth of 19, who is just beginning to realize what a great man he is and what an important figure he ik socially, the heroine, the lucky one. the so-called unfortunate brother, and a frivilous vivacious ingenue.

NEW POLICIES ADOPTED
Bruin Manager Has Decision of Pasadena Game in His Hands
According to indications received late yesterday, the Tour nament Park game for Jannary 2nd was still undecided as to a Western representative, although indications pointed to acceptance by the California Bears. Dean Barrow’s representative met Mr. Mitchell of Pasadena last night to settle the matter.
The San Diego game will be without a western team to meet Centre College, inasmuch as both U. S. C. and California were unwilling to have their elevens capitalized by outside promoters. That the Trojan and Bear athletic managements are in complete harmony was brought out at the conference yesterday between Warren Bovard and Dean Barrow’s representative from Berkeley. Both teams desire no post-season games unless their own athletic management has complete charge. The Roses committee has practically conceded this point, but San Diego’s unwillingness to do so led to the refusal of them by both U. S. C. and California.
Due to the lengthy controversy over he financial arrangements by the San l iego officials, which lead to theii choice of Notre Dame as an opponent cf the Centre College eleven, the pre vailing opinion is that U. S. C. demand I ed all the remaining cash taken in. after the expenses of the game were paid. As a matter of fact, the Atheltic Committee of the Trojan institution I sought only to prevent the commercial | izing of the sport, and objected to a few individuals reaping immense proflits from an amateur athletic contest.
FOR NEW GYMNASIUM i The amount received by U. S. C. I would have gone for the construction | of a new gymnasium, and a re-vamping of the athletic field, which, as everyone will admit, are two sadly needed improvements. In no event would the amount received exceed that granted to the Centre College, namely, $17,000.
A representative of the northern j institution was in conference with j Warren Bovard, university comptroller. ! until a late hour yesterday afternoon. 1011 matters supposedly relative to the [New Year’s game. Whatever the ar rangements are, it is certain that the friendly spirit between the Trojan and Bear will not be lost.
All (roast colleges are adopting poli kies for the future which will arrange j post season games to be made only b> ’*e university managers of the fastitu j * ions, thus preventing the commercial jiz uion cf the great college sport
