The Triumph of El Indiano (Continued from first page) ence a marvelous amount of amuse ment. All in all however, C. W. Gunter as Achilles Aponte, the fierce guardian of his family's honor and the best friend of Prospero Waters, and Pros pero himself, the versatile hero of the play, acquitted themselves with most credit. Altho Gunler's part was not so hard to play he played it perfectly to the finish. I, Harding Hughes, El Indiano, who played the leading part in the play acquitted himself marvelously well and well earned the praise of the audience. Mr. Vermont who acted as coach this fall deserves to be complimented on the excellent work he has done. Not only did the boys show perfect training but the '-..whole play ran smoothly from curtain to curtain, a witness to the ability of the manager. After such a success the dramatic club may rest from their labors and troubles with a sense of satisfaction and pride. Reports from Gerrard Hall Chapel exercises for this week have been conducted by Mr. Hogue, Shorj talks have been made by the President, Mr. Vermont and Dr. Herty. On Monday morning Dr. Venable discussed athletics in relation to the other phases of college life, While ad, mitting that athletics are given undue prominence in some colleges, Dr. Ven able said that such is not the case at Carolina. He said that athletics area real part of an education, and that the participation in them goes to make a well rounded man. The President said that it would be a sad day for col leges when athletics are abolished. The names of several of the Alumni who have contributed to the athletic association were then read by the President. Mr. Vermont spoke for a few min utes on Tuesday in the interest of the Dramatic Club. Mr. Vermont said that at this university where all that is beautiful in architecture, aft, and music is honored, dramatics, which trains the body and makes it the great est instrument of expression, ought to be welcomed. The speaker, said that more men are needed by the Dramatic Club, which on Thursday night will present The Indian, a Spanish play translated into English. On Wednesday morning Dr. Herty spoke on "Chemistry as a Profession." The speaker said that the demand for trained men in the scientific depart ments is greater than the supply, and that there ought to be no anxiety about getting a "job" by a graduate of the Chemistry Department. Dr. Herty said that the chief qualifications as a chemist are: An insatiable curiosity concerning the laws governing action among matter, and a thorough train ing. He divided the field of chemical activity into two parts: namely, that of teaching, and that of technical chemistry. Taking up these in order, Dr. Herty said that the work of teach ing chemistry is pleasant,and that the opportunities for research work are great. As to techinal chemistry, -Dr. Herty said that the field was bound less, and that success was solely de pendent on thorough training and willingness to apply one's self steadily and consistently. On Thursday Dr. Herty spoke of the various men who have gone out of the Chemistry Department of the Uni versity and achieved success. Among the men who have become , teachers, Dr. Herty mentioned the names of Baskerville, Mills, Davis, and Jordan. The graduates of this department who have entered the field of technical chemistry are scattered all over the Southland are giving their training and thought for the development of her resources. Following Dr. Herty's talks of Wed nesday and Thursday on choosing Chemistry as a profession Prof. Col lier Cobb spoke for a few minutes Fri day morning on the broad field for service that is open to students of Geology. After showing how closely Geology is related to other sciences, Prof. Cobb said that the field of geo logical activity is, just as in Chemis try, divided into two parts, that of teaching, and that of the several gov ernmental surveys. Prof. Cobb men tioned the names of a large number of men, graduates of the department of Geology at Carolina, who have become noted, and have rendered good service to the country. By these few concrete examples of the success attained by graduates of the department of Geolo gy, Prof. Cobb showed how important this department is. Seniors Start Series with Sophs. The class tennis series was begun Wednesday afternoon by a match be tween the seniors and the sophomores. The seniors were represented by Hy man and Lasley, the sophomores by Barker and Hobgood. in the doubles the senions won. The sophs look the the first set eaisily 6-2 but after that were able to score only one game. All thru the playing was slow and unin teresting. Seniors 2-6-6-0 Sophomores 6-0-1-0 Friday the Seniors played their first singles with the Sophomores. By common agreement two out of three sets was to decide. Lasley won two straight sets from Hobgood, giving the meet to the Seniors. Score: Lasley 6 - 6 Hobgood 2-4 Success of the Pickwick The Pickwcik. preeminent among the theatres of Chapel Hill, opened its doors and bade the public welcome for the first time about a week ago. Since then the stately 'and artistic ticket office has been massed and thronged by surging, anxious, not -to-be forbidden students and otherwise. The light is furnished for the pictures by an engine in the rear of the opera house. (The people who run the uni versity lighting plant ought to go to the Pickwick and see a real light one time.) As for the pictures! They are marvels of pantomimic comedy and pathos. The Y. M. C. A. has officially stated that they; will never conduct another moving picture show after the Pickwick and then the songs! The management has been fortunate indeed in securing the ser vices of Mr. . The gentleman's name has not been divulged to the public yet but when it does come to the ears of his many ardent admirers 'twill be held before the gaze of an awe-struck world along side of that of Caruso andTettrazini. His, the Pick ; wicker's, voice is a marvelous base of extensive range and raike power very rare. Altogether the Pickwick is pleasing the students with some very good performances. From Washington and Lee Possibly many of us have thought it strange that Washington and Lee failed to play the tennis match scheduled here Wednesday the 24th. A recent letter from their manager offers an explanation to gether with an apology. The team was left by the Lynchburg train, but telegrahed Guilford for new dates. Guilford could not give other dates, so the trip was broken up. The team intended to come on to us, but one member was taken sick and couldn't come. It seems no one could be found who would take his place. ; To Fight Forest Fires The geology department is issuing a bulletin to citizens in all parts of t'ie state in search for statistics on the for est fires in North Carolina and the damage they do. All over the country a campaign is being inaugurated against this scourge. In North Caro lina great damage is done yearly by woods fires. These bulletins and let ters which accompany them are a part of an effort that is being made in our state to get the facts in the case so that the difficulties may be met. G. C.
