THE TAR HEEL ADAM AND EVA RIVALS HAMLET (Continued from page one) enterluiilnent back in 1919. when it was .... Kiif It is 'Dretty stale in these s0 modern times. The company was scheduled to give a matinee at the ; reasonable charge of fifty cents a head, but refused to play to a measley audience of sixty people. Which is very surprising, because on the basis of their artistry, they should be '.molv satisfied with thirty dollars in week. Their pride almost lost them the presence- of the present reviewer, but during the course of the afternoon we were presented with a Tar Heel comp. on the stimulation that we write a brief notice of the performance. It now strikes us that tins was malice aforethought. At any rate, the Playmakers' Theatre, short on age but long on suffering, will be much, much older before it sees any thing more terrible. And our estimation of the Playmakers rose thirty degrees Fahrenheit. Fortunately or unfortunately, as the case may be, it began to rain, soon after the opening curtain and we, being with out slickers, were confined within the portals until the bitter end. As a result we found out what finally happened to Lord Andrew, the true-blue Britisher, in the last act, the uncertainty of whose fate lent a slender interest to the sad businses. t, Tourist third cabin EUROPE With collets parties on famoua "O ' teamera of The Royal Mail Line Writ for Ulattraled booUtt School of Foreign .

But it is the usual thing in this sort ! i. .. - juurnansuc excrescence to say a few well chosen Words about the-plot. Well, mis one is variation number seven hundred of an idea used to great ad vantage by Plautus and Terence and probably stolen by them from the origi nal Chinese. ' It seems that there is a wealthy rub ber man, one who fiddles around in the rubber market that is, but withal an indulgent father, who has a family of parasites' on his hands, whom he domin ates by the mighty power of his checque book. If you don't like that sentence we'll make 'em shorter and more periodic, having had English One, though you might not believe it. Well anyway, the children plot, very scurvily, to ship father off to South America for the good of his health. So father goes off to some place called the Neuse (while the aud ience longed for the noose of another part) and thus removed from the boards for the major portion of, two acts one of the three decent actors in the cast. But before he leaves he discovers the plot (not the plot of the play, because a grammar school kid sitting behind us discovered that on the eighth speech of the first act, but his dear offsprings plot) and places in his shoe as family head a young employee who has just re turned from die Icmeliness of , the Ama zonian wilderness with 'a vast longing for the alleged bliss of a home and family. A very sentimental young man is this Adam Smith (for that is our heroe's name) oh, much more senti mental than Joseph Surface eVer dared be and played by a sentimental young actor with no idea of restraint of the proper way to be 'sentimental on stage, it was quite the most distressing piece of business we have seen for many moons. The remainder of the play is concerned with the mutual education of Adam and the family. Adam acquires polish and the family acquires horse sense. Of course the family is very peeved at first at the tightening of the purse strings. The idle son-in-law saj's catty things; the society daughter (married) makes Adam eat dinner alone ; and the charm ing but pampered single daughter be comes engaged to the fortune-hunting British lord out of spite. But Adam, being a young man of many resources, stages a double enten dre. , He purloins the family jewels and ruins" the family fortune. Suddenly struck penniless, the family. is about to sit on its thumbs until father returns, but Adam convinces them all that they are insects, and they all turn but to be true blue. So the idle son-in-law goes off to peddle gingery Kollege Kut Klothes while the rest of the family goes to New Joisy to raise chickens. The fortune hnnting duke, who, as we hinted before, also turns out to be true blue, goes along and opens a livery stable. By the beginning of the third act the family is entirely reformed and doing nicely with eighty thousand chickens and four million bees. (But the bees whisper had no knees.) Came the dawn of a new Thanksgiving and the idle son-in-law, now a go-getter, returns and father returns. Adam explains his duplicity and marries Eva, the charming and erstwhile pampered daughter, and everybody lives happily ever after in the dying glow of the setting sun as the aud ience peacefully) expires. Except the duke, who wipes away a furtive tear at the loss of Eva and plunges into the livery business with a whole heart We seem to have lost our program and our stultified brain cannot remember the names of the actors, but it really make? no difference. The leading man, Adam, was also the leading egg. It Is no wonder he was druv out of the Gar den of Eden. The other members of the cast were less bad in varying degrees, depending on the importance of their roles. Except for the duke. For the company he was in the duke was really a superb -actor; he deserves better treat ment at the hands of fate. And for tunately; most of the comedy fell to his lot. The futher and the maid were good enought to be oppressive, but both, were offstage for distressingly long periods of time. The two girls and Adam and the son-in-law would go well in tabloids, maybe, from the standpoint of voice, appearance, and acting ability. For the most part one expression and one In flection, stepped up or stepped down, did triple duty for joy, sorrow, and frus trated desire. A Freudian complex was evidenced, whenever the business called for it, by a slight raising of the left eyebrow and an equally slight drawing down of the right corner of the month. We have labored for several hours to reproduce the peculiar combination of vowel sounds achieved by the leading lady In getting across to her . public the work "chicken", but as yet have not succeeded. Chicken and bee culture seems to be a profitable business In New Jersey, but from our observation of the Fercival Vivian Players, we should say that pork farming In the neighborhood of Newark is a dead loss. , ONE OF FIVE MISSING ELEMENTS DISCOVERED Scientists At the University of Illinois Meet With Success After Twenty Years of Research. ' The fact that the scientific world is constantly and untiringly absorbed In research work and that the intricacies of chemistry are becoming more, and more penetrated has been recently demon strated in the discovery of one of the five missing elements. , . A new element to which has been as signed the atomic number 61 has been discovered by the science department of the University of Illinois. The exist ence of this element was presumed and In the periodic classification of the ele ments a place has been reserved for such an element. This' discovery is the result of 20 years of constant research in the group of "rare earth" metals. . Scien tists at the University of . Ilinois have worked untiringly for 20 years and have at last met with success. Up to the time of this discovery, there Were five un known but supposedly existent elements. The discovery of element number 61 Is another step in the progress and ad vancement of chemistry. This new find is particularly interest ing on account of the fact that this new element is the first and only one ever discovered in the United States. The chemical world was surprised, perhaps, and gratified when the announcement of this discovery was made last Wednesday by the science department of the Uni versity of Illinois. Chief chedit for this valuable work is due to Dr. B. S. Hop kins, professor of inorganic chemistry at the University' of Illinois. Dr. Hopkins was assisted in his research work by L. F. Yntema and J.'A. Harris of the chem ical staff of the same university. :' No name has yet been suggested for the new element. : For the present, the atomic number 61 will be used as a label for the new element. As to the nature of this element, it has properties re sembling those of a metal. Chemists so far are uncertain about its value. It is not known whether It will prove to be of high commercial value, but it has been presumed that the new metal will prove to be very rare. This conclusion was drawn from the fact that from 400 pounds of "rare earth" material used by scientists In carrying on this research work only one-half of an ounce of the metal remained. Among notable research work being carried on in the study of the elements is that of England and Germany. In both of these countries, claims have been made that the missing elements assigned the atomic numbers 43 and 75 have been found. However, these claims have not yet been substantiated. Dr. J. M. Bell, head of the Chemistry Department of the University of North Carolina, is also working on elements number 43 and 75 and has been carrying on this research work for some time. Ilustrated Lecture' Given , At Deutsche Verein Meeting A large crowd was present at the meeting of the Deutsche Verein Thurs day night to hear Dr. Metzenthin, of the University German department, give an illustrated lecture based on his travels in Germany during the last summer. Dr. Metzenthin's lecture was a brief continuation of one which he gave to the club some time before on the sub ject of "Germany From - Bremen , to Berlin." . In the first lecture, Professor Metzenthin was forced "by lack of time to pursue his subject no farther than the banks of ,the Rhine. ' Thursday the account of the trip was taken up at the banks of the . historic old river, and a brief description of the country and civilization between the Rhine and the German capital was given. .. ORATORICAL CONTEST TO BE HELD APRIL 15 (Continued from page one) that a limitation is drawn on the theory of exterminating wars as a' means of securing peace. It is held annually un der the auspices of the North Carolina Peace Society. M. A. James, the Carolina represent ative two years ago, won forty dollars for being adjudged the second best ora tor in the contest. Several years ago D. R. Hodgin, of Carolina,, won first place in tiie contest. Since that time no Carolina man lias won it. Wake Forest has - won the first prize of sixty dollars on three or four occasions. - Carolina's representative last year was G. H. Jones. Speeches should not be over 15 minutes in length; that will be the time allotted each man in the preliminaries. ! It is expected that the annual Southern Oratorical contest, in which any subject may be used, will be held in Chapel Hill this year. The contest waa held at the Uninversity of Kentucky last year and at Sewanee the previous year. M. A. James, Carolina representative two years ago, won second place, while D. R. Hod- gin, of Carolina, won first place several years ago. Hodgin also represented Car olina last year, in the contest held at Lexington.

Young has a powerful cut at the ball and was one of the most consistent batters on the freshman nine last spring, He played first base for the yearlings, but he is not new to the outfield, for he played a' garden position in high school. CAPTAIN WARREN WINS TWO TITLES ALL-UNIVERSITY MEET SATURDAY .

(Continued from page one) there this season, Warren has never been defeated in the collegiate ring and has been one of the mainstays of the Carolina team since its, organization. The individual record for the meet also went to Captain Warren, since he won the South Atlantic title in two weights, an uncommon occurrence. The Bun has the following to say in praise of the work of the Carolina mitman: s "Warren brightenel up in the evening for the spectators by winning two slash ing bouts, the first in the 173-pound class and the next in the unlimited class. In the first setto he gained the decision over Martin Gallagher, St. Stephen's A. C Washington, holder of the" South Atlantic championship title, and eliminated him from further competition. Hangs K. O. on Funderburk i "In his next appearance in the ring the Tar Heel had as his opponent Ben Funderburk, who recently gained fame by appearing in the same ring . with Champion Jack Dempsey here. "Funderburk made one pass at War ren and then .went to the floor from a roaring right hook. He to'ok his time about rising and a few seconds later Warren knocked him over the top rope and he hung there like a sackvof meal for the fifth count. "Gallagher started off with a woman like left hand in the opening round and seemed t- be able to worry Warren with it, but tli husky lad from North Caro lina soon solved the bothersome attack and started a counter-offensive composed chiefly of a rollicking wallop with both right and left hand that gave the reci pent something to worry about. ;: Warren Speedy. "Warren is fast for a big man and showed considerable cleverness in his ring work and it looks like his defeatings record since entering the Tar Heel school is to remain unblemished." The rumor that Warren had won the North and South American amateur Championships has been declared un founded, the error being acceredited to a misinterpretation of the initials S. A. to mean South American instead of South Atlantic. The championships which the undefeated captain won, how ever, were not restricted ,to collegiate boxing but to all amateur, boxing in the South Atlantic . states. Colleges, among, them Carolina, were asked to send representatives, and it' is considered quite an honor that Carolina should win two of the six titles awarded in Balti more. ' LETTERS TO FIVE ATHLETIC TEAMS (Continued from page one) elect Add Warren, of Edwards, and "Mott" Motsinger, of Wallburg, while men receiving letters for the first time were E. G. Thompson, of Roxboro, T. E. Clemmons, of Hallsboro, E. P. Leary, of Old Trap, Dick Taylor, of Tarboro, and "Speedy" Blankenship, of Charlotte. W. B. Pipkin, of Reidsville, received a manager's letter. Minor sport letters went to the mem bers of the boxing and cross-country teams. ; Boxers receiving the awards were Graden Shuford, of Lincolnton, Roy Proflit, of Bald Creek, Ed Butler, of Glen Alpinfe, "Moose" Tenney, of Portsmouth, Va., Jim Bullitt, of Chapel Hill, "Piggy" Jarrell, of Charlotte, and Manager B. C. Wilson, of Glenville. The harriers receiving cross-country awards were Andy Bell, of Greensboro, Hoyt Pritchett, of Greensboro, Galen Elliott, of Washington, Johnny Henderson, of Asheville, and Arthur Daniels, of Char lotte. Class of 1929 numerals for basketeball went to R. R. Huckney, of Durham, H. H. Satterfield, of Durham, Bower Gray, of Winston-Salem, S. K. Wall, of Rural Hull, C. II. Oakley, of Roxboro, R. B.

Webb looks slow for the short assign ment, but can handle third welL The scrap in the catching department seems narrowed to two men, Sharpe and Green, and the outfield is apparently settled. Hatley has been shifted from leftfleld to center, and Dodderer is hold ing the leftfleld job. Both of these men were on the 1925 varsity and will Whiskers have gone out of style with everybody but Santa Clans. Today, the smooth-shaven man holds sway. To make shaving less of a task, In ventors have devised keen-cutting razors and many creams and soaps to soften the beard,; but until recently there has been nothing on the market completely satisfactory to put on the face after shaving to prevent soreness, smarting and perhaps infection. ' Men who object to preparations con taining alchohol, which tend to dry the skin and which afford only temporary relief to tender faces, and to sticky, greasy and messy creams for use after shaving, will hall with delight, the new discovery, called Derma-Glo. ' Derma-Glo is the most marvelous thing man has ever rubbed on his face follow ing a shave. It is refreshingly cool; as soothing as a spring breeze; and imparts a feelmg of comfort to a razor-worn skin that is nothing short of magical.
