Seesye, November 8

erwin Beds" the laugh festival
by Salisbury Field and Margaret
Mayo, will come to the Seeiye
theatre, Tuesday, November 8.
"Twin Beds" distinct departure
In farces, is as clean as a rollicking
north wind There is nothing In line
or situation which can possibly Of
fend. It Is, In brief, a valuable les
son In the exhileration Of clean
laughter and wholesome fun. It's
lines sparkles with rapier-like wit
AMI surprising slang, and the rich
humor Of the situation Is permitted
to develop itself naturally.

with the felicities and infelicities OF
three married couples Ito say moth
ing of q maid who il paragon In
twenty ways) In their futile efforts
to rid themselves Of uncomfortable
and trouble brewing proximity In a
fashionable apartment house.
Harry Hawkins Is a young bust
ness man who married for home"
In addition to being distractedly In
love with his charming young wife,
he resents In no unmistakable man
ner his wifc's fOndncss for giving
parties to her acquaintances. In par
ticular he objects to an Italian tenor
and his Amazon OF wife, who have
the apartment above them, whose
tenth wedding anniversary the Haw-
kins are celebrating mt the opening
of the play to the utter disgust OF
Harry. This disgust inspired him
with the clever idea of moving to all
other part OF the town. Unhappily
he follows his inspiration to the dot,
and embrOils himself In troubles so
thick and fast that he barely
escapes them In time for the final
curtain.
The management has chosen an
deal cast of comedians for the pOr-
trayal Of this piece Of incessant fun
among whom are Helen

MOVED WESLEYAN BUILDING
Brick Structure Showed But a Few
Cracks

With the Kansas Wesleyan admin
istration building resting on It's new
location, interior improvements must
be made. The Wesleyan Advance
says Of this feature of the work:
Now that the journey Is over, the
inside work must be started on rne
administration building. Any one
coming up Santa Fe avenue would
imagine the structure had either burn
ed down or was moved completely of
the campus. The building is located
behind so many trees that its view is
almost obscured. However, when the
new walks are all built and the stu
dents start over west to school, it
won't take long for people to find out
that the administration building is
still on the Wesleyan campus.
Even before 1t had reached the
place, masons were there working on
the inside wall. Dean A. Fl. King
went through the building, even to
the roof, to see the condition Of the
walls. He found them In almost per-
feet condition. There are a few
cracks on the inside wall. There is
not a noticeable scar anywhere in the
chapel. The Delphian hall has one

HERE BY WIRELESS

entertained a number of friends Friday
evening at aylecture and photograph con-
cert. The unique part of the affair was
that the concert and lecture were held In
Pittsburgh, Pa, but those present at Mr..
Smiths home were able to hear it. Mr..
Smith has a wireless telephone outfit at
his home and it was with this that it was
possible to hear distinctly the concert
and the lecture. The experiment was
under the auspices of the Westinghouse
Electrical COMPANY. At the sending sta
ton there was a photograph which play-
ed several numbers and then there was
a short lecture on wireless telephony by
one of the specialists of the Westing-
house company. Mr.. Smiths outfit out
fit is strictly home made and works with
