Frank McEntee and his Shake-
speare Playhouse company will ap-
pear here on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of this week in four perfor-
mances which will embrace plays of
the modern school as well as one
Shakespearean play.
The Playhouse company has appear-
ed here consecutively for several
summers, replacing the old Ben Greet
players who for years presented a
series of performances here every
summer.
The Shakespeare Playhouse com-
pany was founded several seasons ago
by Frank McEntee with the purpose
of keeping Shakespeare before the
public as a constant source of in-
spiration. Mr. McEntee himself di-
rected his players, taking little part
in the acting, and for the past year,
has been playing Hamlet in an ex-
tensive series of performances on
tour.
Eugene O'Neill's fascinating play,
"Behind the Horizon," will be given
in the opening performance on Thurs-
day night. Its theme is modern, de-
picting a young man struggling to
rise above the materialistic world in
which he is living. On Friday even-
ing, Justin McCarthy's "If I Were
King," will be presented, this being
the play presented by the Senior wo-
men in their annual play. Shake-
speare's "Hamlet," will be given Sat-
urday afternoon, and the engagement
will close Saturday night with a pre-
sentation of Ibsen's "A Doll's House."
Tickets which will be priced
at 75 cents for single admission and
$2.50 for the whole series, will go on
sale at Wahr's bookstore at noon,
Tuesday.

also a specialist in x-ray, plan to at-
tend the meeting of the British As-
sociation' of Scientists which meets
this year in Toronto.
Professor Brag was awarded the
Nobel scientific prize for work in x-
ray recently. He expects to remain

Davis Most Logical Choice
For Democrats Says Shartel
Ohio Man Heads
U. S. Commerce Body
FINLAND WIlNS IN
10,000 METER RUN
WITH STRONG LEAD
"In discussing political affairs,"
Prof. Burke Shartel, of the La'w
school, said. "I believe that we of the
faculty are in somewhat the position
of a judge-we should take rather a
non-partisan position."
"But," Professor Shartell said, "Mr.
Davis seems to be the most logical
man that the Democrats could have
.chosen, after the fracas in Madison
Square Garden. The fact that Mr.
Davis has been an attorney for a num-
ber of big business men in the east,
I do not believe that should be held
against him as a candidate for the
Presidency. It rather indicates that
he is capable as an executive, or he
would not have been entrusted with
the legal business of men like Mor-
gan."
"Mr. Davis is a real gentleman,"
said Professor Shartel. "He is known
for his polish and smoothness. He is
essentially an aristocrat. And the
Democrats had to pick a western man
as an antidote for some of the poison
spread about Davis. They were
probably wise in their selection of
Charles W. Bryan as Mr. Davis run-
ning mate."
In speaking of the effect the La
Follette nomination will have upon
the two major parties, Professor Shar-
tell said, "It will be difficulty to tell
just how. much of an inroad LaFol-
lette is going to make in either party.
But Davis may lose a considerable
amount of Progressive Democratic
votes to LaFollette, especially in Cal-
ifornia and the middle west. How-
ever, Governor Bryan may be able to
hold the mid-western Progressive
Demrocats pretty solidly together."
Professor Wright, of the University
of California Law school, who is in-
structor in corporations and agencies
in the law department here this sum-
mer, speaks of Mr. Davis as a man
of great intelligence, well fitted for
executive work. "He is not a particu-
larly forceful public speaker, but is
a very gracious man to meet. He is
a tremendous thinker; a keen law-
yer. But perhaps the fact that his
law practice in New York has included
some of the financial magnates of the
nation, such as the House of Morgan,
may cost him many votes in Novem..
ber, especially among the western
people."
"California thinks a great deal of
Hiram Johnson," said Professor
Wright, "and Davis is not very strong
there. So it is difficult to tell where
many of the progressive votes will
go in that state. The Bryan-Davis
combination, though it is a queer one,
was a clever move on the part of the
Democrats to hold the Progressive
Democratic votes in the west togeth-
er."

WERTH
Motion picture fans who enjoy ro-
mantic plots, thrilling action. dram-
atic acting, and a powerful story for
their screen fare, will like the William
Fox version of -"The Plunderer", op-
ening today at the Wuerth, and run-
ning through Wednesday. Frank
Mayo has the leading part as a gold
mine superintendent in love with "The
Lily", a woman who owns the dance
hall and gambling rooms of the pict-
uresque town.
A remarkable screen battle which
leaves nothing to the imagination is
shown when Mayo and Santschi, "the
plunderer," engage in a fist fight.
Another thriller comes when the res-
ervoir is wrecked, releasing tons pf
water upon the little town below.
"You Are Quilty", these words pro-
nounced by the court wrecked the life
of an innocent man, sent him from the
girl he loved, from the mother who
adored him, and made him a world
wanderer on life's highway. Such is
the highly dramatic plot of "You Are
Guilty" which opens Thursday at the
Wuerth. The play is enacted by an
all-star cast, headed by James Kirk-
wood. Others in the cast are Doris
Kenyon, Robert Edeson, Mary Carr,
and little Russell Griffin.

SMALLER TELESCOPE TRAINED
ON MOON DURING INSPECTION
More than 470 people visited the Un-
iversity Observatory on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday nights, last
week. The first trip started at 8:15
each night. Relays of approximately
50 people an hour were shown the
points of interest by Professor Hus-
sey and his assistants.
A telescope with a 37 5-8 inch lens,
is situated in the larger dome. The
dome revolves electrically until it is
stopped at the proper position, the
shutters are moved back and provid-
ing the temperature is right, the lens
case may be removed. This means
that the observer cannot start work
until 8 o'clock in winter and 9:30 to
10 o'clock in the summer. The lens
must be kept as a nearly constant
temperature to guard against expan-
sion. The telescope is made of an
ordinary open tube through which
light rays travel to a mirror. Rays
are reflected back to a secondary mir-
ror and then to a spectrograph.
In the smaller dome, a telescope
with a 12 inch lens is trained on the
moon every cloudless night. The meth-
od of procedure was that each visitor
was allowed about one minute to climb
up a ladder and take a look at the
moon.

experiences. Horseback rides, leaps
over cliffs, sensational airplane tricks
and hair-raising auto stunts cram the
picture, forming the background for

Tincher support Miss LaP.imte in
"Excitement."
