TONIGHT: Mimes present Rob-
ert E. Sherwood's satire on
Kings and Queens "The
Queen's Husband" in their
theatre, beginning at 8:15,
curtain at 8:30 o'clock.3
"THE QUEEN'S HUSBAND"
Reviewed By William J. Gorman
Sherwood's play, because it con--
sists of little but a deft combina-
tion of several conventional types
of comic material-the farce of the
weak, amiable, superfluous little
ruler, the tragedy and Graustark(
romance of the Princess, and a
satiric revolution-has for merit
1little but the merit of uproarious
situations and smart lines. Mimes
has admirably suited their per-
formance to the nature of the play.
The cast slips successfully through
the loose transitions by the agree-
ableness and enthusiasm of the
acting. Those skillfully-conceived
episodes which really give the play
its vitality-the king's checker
matches with his flunkey, his calm
acceptance of and joy in the revo-
lution-are correctly and enthus-
iastically emphasized in the per.
formance. A careful but enthusias-
tic performance was needed to dis-
guise the fickleness of Sherwood's
mood and the looseness of his com-
edy; and Mimes gives it.
Kenneth White as the "queen's
husband" is supreme. In the first
act, thoroughly squelched by the
I Queen's termagant tongue, the
king's futility is a bit pathetic. His
gradual rise to power, culminating
in the glorous victory of the mar-
riage of his daughter to a plumb-
er's son, is excellently done by
White. He has successfully caught
the droll evasiveness of the good-
humored king. His whole con-
ception of Eric VIII is an amus-
ingly arid portrayal, unfailing in
its sharp, incisive humor.
Though the other characters are
fragmentar ly presented, they are
given the same zest of presentation
as White has given to ftis lull por-
traiture. Eugenie Chapel plays the
Princess with eagerness and sin-
Scerity. Kurvink, with extented
chest and loudkintonations, is a
'highly amusing Premier. These
are outstanding but the other per-
formances, Josephine Rankin as the

CORRECTING THE PERCENTAGE
COLUMN
Baseball fans attach a greatl
deal of importance to the percent-
age column in picking the winner.
The same is true of the Conference
officials who finally name' the win-
ner by the magnitude of the third
figure to the right, which tells the
story, but only part, of the suc-
cesses and failures of each team
throughout the season.
Just why percentages tell but a
part of the story is evident to any-
one who has spent any time in this
!particular region of the globe. Jup-
iter Pluvius is usually affected by
a crying jag about this season of,
the year, and takes great pleasure
in ascertaining just how many
ball games he can break up by
dampening the spirits of all con-
cerned. But in doing this, he is not
playing fair, because after all,
games scheduled and games play-
ed are not the same thing, and the
officials consider only those play-
ed.

which is apparently an attempt to
sum up the action taken thus far

as a "clean-up" article for the
question, that paper has either ig-

pertinent facts. #,
The Tribune admits that the

that had it under advisement, is
two steps ahead of the position the
former bill gained in the House but
goes on to report as absolute fact
that:
"-it will be necessary for
some member of the Senate to
move, when the bill is reported
out, that it be placed on general
orders and printed."
"If the bill should happen to
be placed on general orders and
printed, the time before ad-
journment is too short for the
bill to get very far."
The Daily wonders where the
Tribune has been during the action
taken on the Conlon bill in the Sen-
ate. The bill has written across
its face:
"Senate Bill No. 303. March
21,1929, Introduced by Senator
Conlon, ordered printed, and
referred to the Committee on
Taxation."
Across the printed bill is the of-

Ito all is considered, some such
