FACULTY TO GIVE
DRAMA TONIGHT
Thorns and Orange Blossoms'
Is Romantic Conception
Of Life.
DEBATING TEAM
GOES TO BOSTON
Under the direction of Wil-
our uaniel Steele " and Faul
Green, a group of University
faculty members and townspeo
ple will give a benefit perform
ance of Bertha M. Clay's cele
brated melodrama of the 1880's,
"Thorns and Orange Blossoms,''
in the Playmaker theatre tonight
and tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.
Howard Mumford Jones,
whose portrayal of Joe Morgan,
the drunkard, in "Ten Nights
in a Bar-Room," stands as one
of the greatest triumphs in the
history of the drama in Chapel
Hill, will have the role of the
villainous Carstone.
The troupe organized by
Green and Steele is called "The
Imperial Stock Company."
Music and novelties ranging
from "Over the Waves Waltz"
and "Home Sweet Home" down
to "Four Little Blackberries"
and "Don't Swat Yer Mother,
It's .Mean" will be given be
tween acts and will add much to
the sentimentality. .
The production of this play in
Chapel Hill is similar to what
is being done by Christopher
Morley in Hoboken, N. J., where
he has been presenting "The
Black Crook," and other plays,
and also to what is being done
in London. "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" is a very sophisticat
ed melodrama of the English
nobility of the 1880's, and was
very popular at that time.
Those in the cast include How
ard . Mumford J ones, Harry K.
Russell, W. D. MacMillan, Cor
nelia Love R. B. House, Fran
ces Stratton, Russell Potter,
George McKie, W. A. Olsen and
Jesse McCoy,
The University debating team
leaves today for Boston for the
contest with Boston University
on Sunday. Those who will rep
Sunday. Representing Carolina
are J. M. Baley, G. P. Carr
and John. Wilkinson. The Tar
Heel debaters will uphold the
negative side, of the question,
"Resolved, That the nations of
the world should adopt some
plan of complete disarmament of
all forces, except those which are
needed for police purposes."
This will be a return debate
with the Boston University team
they having been entertained
here on April 19. At that time
our debaters supported the af
firmative side of the disarma
ment question and won. It
was a very hotly contested de
bate and the first that the Bos
ton forensic artists lost this
year.

PARKER HONORED
BY KAPPA ALPHA
Junius Parker, an alumnus of
the University and of the Kap
pa Alpha Fraternity, was en
tertained by the local chapter at
an informal luncheon at the
Carolina Inn Wednesday. . -In

honor, he following were pres
ent: Dr. E. W. Knight, profes
sor of Education, J. de R.
Hamilton, Jr., president of the
local chapter, William Lindsay,
Arthur Little, Jack Ward, Frank
Howell, Billy Trotter, Gene
Wells, Steve Millender, Ed
Mann, Hugh Lobdell, Bill Tay
lor, Alfred Hamilton, Bill Oliver,
Henry Redding, . Wriston Carpen
ter, John Herbert, Sam Peace,

with that othe present day. ' ed this year.
The speaker for the annual
tapping ceremonies of the Order
of the Golden Fleece will be Dr.
Harry Woodburn Chase, presi
dent of the University, accord
ing to an announcement by
Fleece officials.

day, May 6th, and will take place
in the' Methodist church, which
it is hoped will be large enough
to accommodate the crowds
which annually turn out for the
affair. -
President Chase's Fleece ad
dress will be one of his last ap
pearances as head of the Univer
sity. This fact, added to the
interest of the campus in the se
lection of men for membership
in the Order, and the picturesque
character of the ceremony, will
make the tapping this year one
of the most interesting in the
history of the Fleece.
The speaker last, year was
Governor O. Max Gardner. At
the conclusion of his address,
Governor Gardner was tapped
for membership in the Order.
President Chase is himself an
honorary member of the Golden
Fleece.
Following a period of intense
interest and speculation last
year ten men were picked. These
men were tapped in Memorial
hall by gowned and hooded fig
ures who stalked up and down
the aisles, suddenly pouncing one
by one upon the men selected.
The active members of the or
der, assisted by the Fleecemen
tapped in other years who are
still on the campus, will make
the selection of men to be elect
