HE tenth season of the University Players was one of unparalleled success. Their effort to bring better drama to the students of the University and to the people of Lincoln were increasingly evidenced by larger and more appreciative audiences than ever before. The season opened with a new American comedy, "The Goose Hangs High," followed by an evening of one-act plays. Next came the 1924 Pulitzer prize play, "Hell Bent Fer Heaven." The English stage subscribed her best to the repertoire of seven plays in the form of Sutton Vane's famous drama of death, "Outward Bound," and the English comedy of manners, "Aren't We All?"

     An extra matinee of the last two plays was given because of the interest displayed in their production. One was Andreyev's greatly discussed Russian drama, "He Who Gets Slapped," and the other, the closing number, "Romeo and Juliet."

      The exceptional services of Mr. Dwight Kirsch and Mr. Harold Sumption in the preparation of the scenery and artistic stage settings, the co-operation of the business offices, and the perfect confidence of the players, under the innimitable (sic) direction of Miss Howell, all contributed to the consummate production.

      The past has been full, but the future is without bounds in this group where the predominating idea is art, where commercialism is excluded, where plays are done because they are good and clean and the best, and where perfect co-ordination, harmony and trust reign supreme.
