X. U. STUDENTS GIVE PLAY.
The Seniors Make Great Hit in
"Cerebrotentanum."

Lawrence, Kan, May 27.-The senior
class of the University of Kansas scor-
ed a tremendous hit Saturday evening
in its annual play, "Cerebrotentanum,
or the Professors Malady." The pre-
sentation of the play marked the OPEN
ing of. the commencement season at
the university and a large number of
former students were back for the oc-
casion.
AS has been the custom for years,
the play was written by committee
of seniors and was entirely local in it's
setting. The plot centered around the
love affairs of a K. U. professor and the
efforts of two women to win him. On
the whole, it was of a much more seri
Gus nature than past senior plays, some
of the scenes and parts requiring ex-'
ceedingly skillful Interpretation The
second act, the setting of which was
Kansas wheat field, was especially
strong and the. work of the chorus in
troduced in this scene was unusually
effective and made the hit of the even
ing's performance. The committee who
wrote the play was as follows: Miss Ivy
Brock, chairman; Mabel Marsh, Flo
Shanklin, Florence Heller, Fred Brett,
Lawrence Cooper, George Ahlborn and
Harry GoWanS.
The real honors of the evening were
divided by Flo Shanklin and Marjorie
Marshall, both of Lawrence Miss Mar
shall had the part of Ruth White, the
exceedingly clever stenographer. while
Miss Shanklin represented very cleverly'
the part of Mrs. Emily Pullman. a win
ming winsome widow. The rivalry of
these two for the hand of the profess
sor was exceedingly we'll Interpreted.
Genevieve Sterling as the professors
sister, Miss Gertrude Cullers as Mrs.
Mildred, Pullman, the senator's better
half and Miss Ivy Brock as Nora Fa-
gan, the maid, all did very acceptable
work
Carol Getty, of Ellsworth, took the
leading mans part, that Of the profess
sor and did creditable work. Harry
Gowans as DR.. Hartley, the jolly doc
tor from Rosedaie, and Harry Rhodes
as DR.. Herbert Chestie, did some clever
character work. Jack Harris and Job
White both made hits in their work as
comedians, making their interpreta-
lions of the part of the country lovers
very realistic. Sam Porter did excel
lent work as a radical Kansas senator.
Others carrying minor parts in the play
were George Putnam, Edgar Bailey,
Wilbur Lapham, Elmer Sigler, Addle
Lander: Neva, Funk, Lucille McNaugh-
ton and Alverta Bingler.
