HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY DURHAM MEET TONIGHT Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, March 9, 1923 LARGE CROWD DELIGHTED BY FIRST MASQUE AND WIGUE PRODUCTION MONDAY NIGHT Number 40 Ernest Thompson's Original Mu sical Comedy of Harem Life Provides Enjoyment. DANCING IS A FEATURE ' Gentlemen Chorus Girls Scatter Flowers Throughout Audience 700 Spectators Attend. "Harems ain't what they used to be," said the Kalif in the original musical comedy, "The Kalif of Ka- vak," which delighted a large audi euee in Memorial hall Monday night. With LeGrand Everett playing the title role and Wmslow 8. Mclver tak ing the part of Jack, as the two out standing stars, the first musical comedy staged by the Wigue and Masque was a great success. Sparkling wit, spright ly music, and spectacular dancing char acterized the performance. These more than made up for the mediocre voices and few false notes. The music was written by P. II. Dag gett and Ernest Thompson, the author of the comedy, and orchestraed by P. J. Weaver. The composers succeeded in matching the Turkish spirit of the play Jind transcribing it into music. The scenes were laid iu a Turkish harem and Market of Matrimony. The singing, dancing, and colorful costum ing of the harem girls, each one a "per fect gentleman," made a rich back ground for the slender plot. It is ru mored that some of the gentlemanly ravishing chorus girls stared many hearts among the students, who were astonished to learn what fair damsels their lanky roommates could make. At the end of the second act the fair inmates of the harem descended from the platform and, dancing down the aisles of the big hall, displayed their harms to nearer view, throwing flow ers to favored ones. President Chase and his wife were spotted and rained upon with flowers. Castoria, the favorite but tned-of wife, played by Jules Welch, Jr., per formed well and caused much merri ment. Frank II. Hursey, however, tak ing the part of the American mother of rather large proportions, furnished the broadest comedy. A. 8. Murry play ed well the part of the typical auction eer. The heroine, Kathleen, played by Harold J. Bowen, was somewhat disap pointing. He might have made a good hero, but was too stiff ami masculine for a heroine, in spite of some fairly jfood acting. The Spanish dancing number of C. B. McBae and J. II. Spain, and the American dancing by B. R. Dye and C. F. Prince, both were real Sensations and evoked much favorable comment. The performance had been well ad vertised and was attended by 700 pe sons, although coming just one week from examinations. The cast was as follows: Kalif LeGrand Everett; Grand Viz ier -Frank McGlaughon; Tut-Ankh Mama J. G. Blackwellp Castoria Jules Welch, Jr.; Chief Steward Wm J. Faucette; Mother Frank II. Hursey Kathleen Harold J. Bowen; Jack (Continued on page three) LECTURE ON LIQUID AIR TONIGHT AT 8:30 A lecture on the subject, "Liquid Air," by Prof. C. W.

VALUABLE INFORMATION OF LIFE IN CAROLINA IS Latest Bulletin Published by the worth Carolina Club Largest In Its History. FIRST IN COUNTRY, BELIEF (By H. E. FULLER) The Xorth Carolina Club Year-Book, just off the press, is the largest bulle tin ever published by the University, with the exception of the catalogue. Also it has the distinction of being, as far as the rural sociology depart- 1 ment knows, the only bulletin of its kind on "Home and Farm Ownership" ever published in the United States. The bulletin is an original piece of research work on the part of Univer sity students and faculty. It embodies the studies in Xorth Carolina tenancy made by the club during the last col lege year. Its 207 pages are packed full of information about conditions in rural and urban North Carolina and with suggested solutions of the many vexing problems presented. The chapters of the yenr-bok are di vided into fine divisions. The first di vision gives a study of the facts of tenancy in both town and country re gions of North Carolina, the United States, and other countries. The second division is concerned with causes of tenancy and the status of the farm tenant. One chapter in this di vision, "How Farm Tenants Live in Mid-State Carolina," by J. A. Dickey ami IC. C. Branson, was published sep arately and provoked thought and edi torial comment throughout the state.

POUND China Will Become a Great Christian Nation if She FoUows America's Example, Says "Y" Worker. China, her great possibilities for do velopment in the arts of civilization and religion, and the work of the Amer ican Y. M. C. A. toward the attainment of that end, was the general topic dealt with by W. W. Brockman, a leading "Y" worker in China, in a series of two lectures given respectively in Ger- rard and Memorial halls, on Sunday and Monday. That China is at present in a molten state, and easily susceptible to influ ences brought to bear on her by other countries, was pointed out in the first speech. Continuing, he asserted that the future of the country depends large ly on those influences. If she follows the example of Japan she will become militaristic; if she fol lows in the footprints of Russia she will become bolshevistic; but if she fol lows the example set by America, she will become a Christian nation. The fact that the Chinese are capable of great progress is shown by their ad vancement in the science of medicine, and the remarkable improvement shown in their educational system. Although the Chinese are slow in grasping the need of religion, they make hard work ers when once interested. The work of Eugene Barnette, first general secretary of the "Y" organi zation in Hang Chow, in establishing Christianity and placing it on a firm footing in that city by gaining the good will of a powerful prince was re lated to the students in chapel Mon day morning. "There are 21 self-supporting, self -propagating organizations in China at present," ho said, "and less than two per cent of the workers are foreigners. The students are the great potential force iu China, and in Canton they were the cause of the abo lition of gambling and prostitution." The faith of the Chinese in America was illustrated by the prayer of a nat ive minister in which he said, "Oh God, may China be dominated by Paul, John: and Woodiow Wilson." The speaker told of the co-operation of Yale, Har vard and other northern universities, and the work of the southern institu tions, Washington and Lee, Mississippi anil t.eorgia, in raising money for the extension of the "Y" work. Iu con cluding he said, "I long to see the time when the University of North Carolina will take part iu this work; and I hope the time will soon come when Eugene Barnette himself will tell you more about his great work."

' ALUMNI DAY PROGRAM TO HAVE NEW FEATURES Committee Will Meet Here March 24th to Formulate Plans for an Inter esting Alumni Day. There will be a meeting of the re union committee of the alumni associ ation here March 24th to make plans for Alumni Day which comes on June 12th. This committee will work out a program that will appeal to the alumni who come here for that occasion. Sev eral interesting items will feature the day. For the first time, the Carolina Virginia game will come on Alumni day and this in itself will prove a drawing card for the alumni to come back to the Hill. Besides the Carolina-Virginia base ball game there will be games arranged botween the different classes of the alumni. Another unusual and interest ing feature of tho day will be the be ginning of the custom of inducting the graduating class into the alumni asso ciation. This will be accompanied with some kind of ceremonies which as yet have not been fully worked out. Those who will be here include Presi dent Walter Murphy of the alumni as sociation and the committee in charge of the program for tho day. This com mittee is as follows: J. Frank Wilkes, J. Crawford Biggs, W. J. Brogden, N. W. Walker, M. Robins, A. L. M. Wig gins, W. B. Wunsch, L. J. Phipps, O. C. Cox and E. R. Rankin. Daniel L. Grant ex-officio secretary of the commit tee.

Dr. Abernethy, the University physician, was immediately summoned and carried Cheek to the infirmary. Lat cr he was taken to his home iu Dur ham. Cheek, who rooms at 209 "C" dor mitory, was visiting one of his friends at 201 of that building when the acci dent occurred. It is thought that Cheek either was not expecting the cap to explode or else ho did not realize that enough power was contained iu that insignificant pill to break the glass. Reports from Durham say that he is improving. (Bj HENRY D. DULS) The February number of the Caro una Magazine made its appearance on the campus last Friday, March 2. Bu taking 32 days to get from Durham to Chapel Hill did not affect tho quality or quantity of tho Magazine's couleii at all. This number is the first one of the year which has no specialty in i contents. In other words, it is not "Greater State Number' 'or a "South cm Literature Number," but just plain old-time miscellaneous number The editorial on the merit system electing student periodical oflicials ver sus the present political system is one of tho most practical editorials pub Iished 111 the Magazine this year. The other editorials follow much the same line, which is a marked and surprising change in the editorial policy of this year, though perhaps the advent of the political season or of the spring wea ther accounts for the same. The range of material covered in this issue runs all the way from Dr. Moss well-nigh classic article on "Horace Williams and His Message" to C. B Yarley's masterpiece which "was not intended to" and we might say, does not "display any mark of literary genius." J. Osier Bailoy's article on historical letters of University students of 1816 to 1847 is interesting matter, though its title, "Dog Ears vs. VanHeusens," is too deep for the subject. The Maga zine did a great service to its readers iu publishing Paul Greens 's "Whit Dresses," a vivid and, we hate to say true story of negro life. Henry Ralph Graves, a "Tar Heel in Metropolitan Journalism," is a well written biography by Henry . Fuller, The writer handled his material very creditably. Reed Kitchin tells inter cstingly of "Our Tar Heel Waluen sinus," about whom very little is wide ly known throughout the state. Par son Moss s intimate connections with "Horace" Williams make the article written by him about one of the throe great philosophers one of particular significance. It does, indeed, as the editor claims, "provoke thought." An other "inside" sketch is given, also This time, however, it is about "Stu dent Life in Switzerland," by a Swit zorianiior, ti, Jiossliara, instructor in German in the University. "Seeing Latin America Through a Port Hole' is out of keeping with the tone of the other articles published in the Maga zine, but nevertheless interesting, espe cially to the numerous friends of Mr. Yarlev. BILLY CARMICHAEL WRITES RING LARDNER STUFF ON BASKETBALL Sends Nice Little Comment to Atlanta Newspaper on Seasons of Last Two Years. .More than one person is still puzzled, Joe 's getting too 'much of the dope Carl Woignn, of the local bar, was speaker at the county commencement exercises held at Columbia, N, C, last Thursday night. as to the cause of Carolina's disaster in the Southern tournament. Chief among the perplexed ones is "Billy" Carmichael, who is now working in lit tie old New York. He sent the follow ing letter to Morgan Blake, sporting editor of the Atlanta Journal 1 ' My Dear Morg: "The advertising agencv to which I am shackled eets newspapers from every little old town in the country- so T am having the pleasure of doing a daily dozen with your sporting cor ruptions. "I have just learned from this dopey column of yours that some team from Mississippi messed up the hair of our boys from the Tar Heel state and the incident has all the sport writers try ing to explain how it happened. "I am very sorry that I am not able to give you any assistance in an imme diate solution of this question as I ami still engaged trying to find out how North Carolina ever won last year's tourney. There's a real puzzle, Morg. "I'll bet Joe Person would present tho most logical alibi of anybody in the contest. By tho way, Morg, while I think of it, one word about Joe. You know Joe's grandmother invented this famous aboriginal tanlac called "Mrs. Joe Person's Bemedy." Well, during the experimental stages she had to have someone to try it on nnd as there were no pet animals in the house the job fell to Joe. Yon can jt;rss tho rest of the story, Morg.

"Morg, Johnnie Johnston, a friend of mine from the university, is signed with Atlanta this season and I wish you would do all you can for him. "While Johnston was at the univer sity he had to have an operation and Hie "attending physician," who was a former athlete of the university, did n't charge Johnnie as much as he usu ally charged for this particular opera tion just charged him about what it was realy worth, you know and the other school started hollering that 'it was being made easy for Johnston at the university!'

And at 01:0 time I can remember they got o despotic on him that the3' even made him attend classes in the heat of the 'lay. "Well, Morg; New York isn't much of a place. Not for a countryman, any way. You take my advice and stay right in Atlanta and try to keep your columns upright! I'm for you strong, Morg! "Yours till Oglethorpe wins the tour ney, "BILLY CARMICHAEL."
