Lyceum-"CharlIe's Aunt"

Even a dyspeptic could not refrain from
laughing at "Charlies aunt Of Brazil,
where the nuts come FROM" as she and
her friends are faithfully portrayed by the
Ferris Stock company this week. Why one
laughs is a question, but laugh one does.
There is no brilliant humor in the dia-
log, there is nothing Of intrinsic worth in
the plot 1t is merely a collection Of i'm
possible situations and abnormal absurdi-
ties. It is "howling farce" but it has
'go" to it that is irresistible. The laugh
is there and as q care destroyer Charles
Aunt, will always have a warm spot in
the hearts of American theater-goers.
The play Is an old friend. Most people
know how the Oxford college gents -
seeking for tete-a-tetes with their sweet
hearts, invite the young ladies to meet
Charles aunt, a wealthy widow from
Brazil. The aunt fails the young men
at the eleventh hour and they impress in
to their service Lord Fancourt Babberly,
who is given to amateur theatricals and
who plays the aunt thru countless and
intricate vicisstudes. The real aunt ap-
pears inopportunely, to be introduced to
herself, and the troubles of the lovelorn
youths &! are too too numerous and too absurd
to&details IA ksg3sf TTS4sS - q
Lawrence Grattan plays the counter
felt aunt with a dash and drollness that
his excellent work in romantic and serious
roles has never suggested. His interpre-
tation seems little too broad at times,
but he never pals and his comedy bust
ness is really clever.

OVERRIDING the Side Issues.

Is there a reign Of graft at the uni
versity? It is too much to accuse the
student body Of a low state of morals
with regard to it's dealings with the
public, but it is not too much to say
that the regents and the faculty have a
duty to perform in supervising the
whole life Of the university. The reve-
lations coming out with regard to the
Gopher indicate a confusion of ideas
upon money questions which is not en-
couraging to those parents who are send
ing their children to the university in
the hope that they will learn how to
best take care Of themselves in the
world. The boy Tho cannot or will not
keep accounts straight in college, has lit
tie or no chance slof developing into a
business man afterward. So. - 3-t3E3
1t is apparent also that there is too
much outside employment among the
students. There. is a section mana cling
football, another traversing the city in
the publishing business, a third which
is employing it's energies in vast and
far-reaching. social plans, which involve
great expenditures Of cash and greater
expenditures Of time. The faculty
should be cognizant of what all these
groups are doing. This may strain the
energies of the faculty. 1t would
perhaps be fairer to turn over
to the faculty's care that por.
ton Of the student body which
is just getting it's lessons and al
low the regents to directly supervise the
others. The regents would thus obtain
frst-hand information as to the amount
of time devoted to the side issues oil
student life. If they found that toe
much time was being thus con
sumed it would become their duty tx
discourage some Of the enterprises thai
interfere with the development of rea
scholarship.
The university is big institution
It has tremendous population. It ha
always been the policy Of the authoritie
to permit the largest liberty of individ
ual action. Freedom may be overdone
however, and it is overdone whenever i
runs away from the direct and simpl
purpose of university residence.
