A. Milne’s “The Truth AboutBlayds” emerged last night at Mandelhall with surprising vividness and vi¬tality. It promises to be one of thebest productions in the checkered his¬tory of University of Chicago dra¬matics. And when one recalls thedays of Betty Brown and MelvinaScoville and Bart Cormack, this is nomean praise. For our occasional suc¬cesses have almost made up for ourmany failures.After I had got used to the spectacleof the ubiquitous Mr. Hanes dash¬ing madly up and down in his shirtsleeves and of Mr. George Downingcalmly drawing bricks on the fireplacewhile the actors spoke their lines, theperformance took on force and move¬ment.Blayds is an old Victorian poet. Heis about to celebrate his ninetiethbirthday. It appears presently thatthe household of the Blayds-Conwaysis devoted to the preservation of thelegend that clings about him. Lu¬cille Hoerr plays the part of his granddaughter, chafing at the museum-likechill that hovers over the Blaydsmansion. Fritz Handschy is herbrother, also in revolt and tired ofbeing on display. The old poet’sdaughters, played capably by Eliza¬beth Hyman and Martha Leutsker,are devoted handmaidens at the shrineof the last of the Victorians. It be¬comes evident that one of them haseven blighted her love-life to keepwatch and ward over the decaying oldgentleman. As the curtain descendsupon the first act the dying poet ismoved to confession. Go see for your¬self what he confesses and what havoc> >» he raises.Lest I forget, Irwin Fischer and thejustly famous Mr. Ghere will alternate* ‘ in the role of the patriarchal bard, theformer playing jt tonight, the latterSaturday night. The affair is for char¬ity, the proceeds going to the Univer-* “ sity Settlement. With few adjust¬ment in tempo and action this produc-* tion will be a high-spot in the annalsof the Gargoyles. If you can still getJ , 1 a ticket, you d do well to go.* U. S. vs. BritainIn New Oil War,Nearing PredictsInterpreting the Great War as astruggle of Oil vs. Coal, and declar¬ing it is quite likely that the StandardOil company now has control ofFrance in preparation for the next OilWar, Prof. Scott Nearing of the RandSchool of Political Economy, in a lec¬ture before the Liberal club last nightproposed a new remedy for the world'sills.The Balkan war, Prof. Nearing said,was not a glorious crusade to expellthe Turk from Europe. Great Britainwanted the oil fields of Asia Minor;so she provided ships and arms forGreece. France wanted the samething; so she equipped Turkey.We Back Standard OilHe predicts a second oil war, be¬tween the United States, hacking theStandard Oil company, and GreatBritain, backing her own great oiltrust.Not as a panacea, but as a plan thatlie believes will go far toward solvingthe oil problem, Mr. Nearing proposedthat the nation be supplanted by a newunit of administration—the industrialgroup. The miners of the world, hebelieves, should have their own gov¬ernment, so should the factory work¬ers. and the other major industries.EXPECT BIG SALEOF’FOLIO SCORESSeven Campus Women WriteMusic for ShowKitten, Ragamuffin, and Rainchoruses of Portfolio are to meetDixie Davis today at 4:45 in thelower gymnasium of Ida Noyeshall.Skill of campus women in the art ofcomposing syncopated melodies has as-1sured a large sale of musical scores from j“Ragamuffin Roads," according to HelenWooding, who is managing the sale.“Swish, Swish, Swish,’ ’a song sym¬bolizing rain pattering in the streetswhere Roseanne and Tobey, ragamuffinleads, play, was written by Betty Wil-ilams, who composed seven of the songsused in the production.

Predicts Chicago Will BeGreatest CityOn Earth“Chicago is another Babylon,” saidProf. Soett E. W. Bedford, in a lectureon the growth of cities delivered yester¬day before sociology classes. “Chicagohas all the evils of ancient Palmyra andNineveh but it also has something more.It has the righteousness of Jerusalem."Prof. Bedford declared that cities have Ialways been cursed as the breeding placesof all evil, hut that this side of themhad l>een considerably over-ejpphasized.He considers that they are now the homesof people who Want to live in them andwho feel that they have certain culturaladvantages over the country.“The most virile blood of our civiliza¬tion is now in the cities," said Prof.Bedford "and it is only natural thatsome of ths should go down in the strug¬gle. But those who win out have ac¬complished something far more vital thanthey could have accomplished if theyhad stayed in the country.”SENIORS APPROVESOCIAL PROGRAMIN CHAPEL QUIZCondemn Theatre Parties andLeap YearAffairGeneral approval of the tentativesocial program, suggestions for vari¬ous other class events, and ideas forthe clas gift came as a result of the !submission of a questionnaire in Sen¬ior chapel yesterday.Three hundred copies of the ques¬tionnaire were distributed in Seniorchapel and an appeal was made foran unauimous return of opinion inorder to give to the Social committeethe sentiment of the entire class.

Their showing thisevening will indicate a lot to the men¬tor of the fortunes later in the year.Although Chicago has had a num¬ber of bouts this year, upwards of ten,only two of these have been confer¬ence battles, Northwestern and Wis¬consin being the victims. V orres feelsthat his men have not really been ex¬pended so far and that they must de¬velop to have any chances at a Con-Iference title.t He has been handicapped by theloss of Henderson and CaptainTsoulos, the first being out because ofan injured knee of the football season,and the latter nursing a shoulderthrown out in the Swedish AmericanA.

At 8:00 tlie contest will startand it has been requested that anyoneinterested make an effort to arrive ontime.V orres said last night that Tsouloswas not in condition for action andas a result his lineup will probably bethe same that defeated the Badgers.Taikaki will handle the bantam as¬signment at 115 pounds and seems tohe on his way to a conference title.Hoosiers Green at GameAlthough it is reported that lack ofexperience is handicapping Indiana, ithas not affected them as yet.
