Show "UNIVERSITY NIGHT" DRAWS BIG CROWDS Students Rather Disappointed Because Sophomores and Freshmen Fail to Clash. "University night" at the Pantages j last night brought forth just about the ' most enthusiasm and the largest crowds that the playhouse has held for some time. The "U,J men and women came j j with the idea of entertaining eaoh j i other as much as they came to be en-i en-i tertained. and, judged by the merriment merri-ment which they aroused in "kidding the actors," they certainly fulfilled their purpose. Incidentally, Frank B. Newman, man-1 man-1 ager of the theater, showed that he was either very crafty or very lucky in refusing the freshmen of the university uni-versity permission to stage a littlo act i of their own. The act might -have1 gone through with flying colors except; for one fact the freshmen had planned on using the sophomore president as the unwilling principal in the play. After having once captured Dan Spencer, sophomore president, some two; weeks ago, and then having him escape, es-cape, they mado another try yesterday and succeeded in keeping him. They j planned, and the sophomore secret ; service detected the plan, to make Danj the "goat" in the act. The second-; year men were unable to locate thei prisoner, so they settled upon another scheme. I They got the first few rows, of seats! at the Pantages and made ready to scale the footlights at the first sign of j tho would-be actors. Everybody ad-! mitted that it would be one of the I greatest little battles which has yet been held by the under classmen, and iu some quarters, at least, there was disappointment. At any rate, the impromptu play did not materialize, and the "U" students made merry in the customary way. The question of Spencer's whereabouts, however, remains unanswered, though the sophomores are continuing their search diligently. |
