KEATS H0N0RED
ACCOMMODATION
Dean Vernon P. squires
Gave Address in Men,
Dry of Famous Poet.

An interesting and interpretative
study Of the poet John Keats was CIV
en- at the university, c~onvocation ex-
ercises this morning by Dean Vernon
Z. Squires in memory of the centen-
NAL of Keats death.
- In the course of his talk Dean
Squires made mention of the most
important facts in the poets life,
stressing especially his early death
and the amount and worth Of the
work done within a few short years.
All of the writing which came from
the pen Of Keats was done before he
was rs years of age and, though he
thought it of little worth, ranks
among the greatest of English litera-
ture. E
The theme upon which he dwelt
mostly, which is pre-eminent in all
of his work, is that of beauty. AS an
illustration of the poets love for the
beautiful, Dean Squtres quoted several
passages including the lines of intro
duction to Endynion. In the open
ing line of this is portrayed the belief
of the man. "a thing of beauty is a
joy forever"
Three phases of Keats work were
taken up and discussed, namely: his
method, his message, and his motive,
1t was exactly one hundred years
ago yesterday hat the death OF
Keats occurred. Not only at the uni
versity but throughout this and other
countries, services are being held in
his honor, as one of the greatest Eng
lish poets.
Professor Gottfried E. HUT presid-
ed at the exercises.

PLAYMAKERS TO
PRESENTDRAMA
HERE TONIGHT
Rose O. Plymouth Town
to Be Given at Metropoli-
tan Theater.

One Of the most unique and enter
tanning productions on the local theat-
rical calendar for the year is "A Rose
O. Plymouth Town." the play in cele-
bration Of the Pilgrim Tercentenary to
be given by the Dakota Playmakers in
the Metropolitan theatre this evening.
This play is one of the best ever
written about the Pilgrim days. 1t has
lived for nearly a score of years, being
presented first on the professional
stage and later on the amateur stage
with it's popularity steadily increasing
since its release to amateurs. A ro-
mantle comedy in four acts. full of ac-
ton, full of laughter, full of suspense.
it has come down as the outstanding
dramatic picture of Pilgrim life: A
phase of colonial life is emphasized
which is seldom connected with the
gruff old founders of our nation, that
of their humor.
No part Of the at~tractiveness OF the
production will be lost at the. hands
Of the university players. One of the
strongest casts representing h socle-
ty for some time will be on the stage
this evening. The colonial setting has
been especially prepared, special fur
niture and costuming being made as
well as old relics having been secured.
The society has been working its
hardest under the able leadership of
Mrs. j. B. Cooley, coach, to make this
play the finest bit of work shown un-
der its auspices in several seasons.
The story of the play itself aside
from it's appearance on the stage is of
special interest. The historical charac-
tiers and events woven through from
beginning to end make it one of the
best hat the players could have chos-
en- to give in celebration of the Ter
centenary Of the landing Of the Pill
grims.
The seat sale for the presentation
has been unusually strong, both among
the students and city folk.

See Gilbert Parker's
Behold My Wife" Al
The Strand Next Week

The novels of Sir Gilbert Parker,
packed as they are with appealing
love interest and red-blooded action,
are excellent material for the movie
makers. Parker's 1.-The Right of
Way and 1.-THE Seats of The Mighty
have long since been filmed. and next
week we are to have one of his best
stories. THE Translation of a Saw
age" exhibited at the Strand theater
under the title of Behold My Wife,"
This is a special Paramount release
produced by George Melford. who
%picturized The Sea Wolf" Every
woman and other successful photo
plays.
Practically an all-star cast is seid
to interpret Behold My Wife. The
leads are played by Mabel Julienne
Scott, a Minneapolis girl. and Milton
Stills. An important role is assigned
to Elliott Dexter. who has been a To-
cal favorite. Intense sympathy. it is
said, is created by the personality OF
the Indian girl heroine, wed to a mar
who at first despises, but finally
learns to appreciate her at her true
value. The regeneration of the here
is skillfully wrought out and the en-
tire production in the opinion of those
who have viewed it in other cities
stands u as one of unusual distinc-
ton.
