Before the Civil War Francis W. Pickens was ambassador to Prussia. Busts were made of the governor and his wife and shipped to the United States.

The critical first audience of Monday pronounced each a success and were happiest when all the actors were on the stage. The stage settings were as effective as those of "Romance." There were only two, but they were done in the best of taste. The play is thoroughly American, a product of the Harvard school and is wrapped around the emotions of a Successful New York Business Man who is tired of manu facturing good soap and who feels that he must return to a childhood passion for painting which he forsook when he married his devoted wife. The fortunes of his son, Roderick, and the girl next door who Roddy loves turn in the opposite directions. As Roddy gives up a chance to study architecture abroad, his father ends his business career, and at the end when he finally decides to go abroad his father has learned that his art is no miore than cleverness of the brush. Kathryn Powell, of the University, was captivating and although she played a minor part her acting dle mandls her appearance in future Stage Society p)roductions. Her experience as the airtist's model wvill not soon be forgotten Dawson Beattie, already wvell known in Town Theatre circles and recruitedl fromt Carolina for his first services there, carried off the part of Roderick in masterly fashion. Miss Dorothy Blurney, (laughter of Dr. Burney, head of the Chemistry dlepartmient, acted opp)osite him had a more difficult part but went through it wvith facility. Roddy's father was p)layedl by Mr. A. C. Flora and the part of his wife was taken by Mrs. J. Fraser Lyon. G. Tr. Warren, a very successful business man, was Mr. R. H. Dutrow, and Geof frey Nichols, writer of the p)opular novel, was Mr. B. George Barber. -F.M. -- U.s.c. - the use of books reserved for classes.

WOMEN'S DEAN GIVEN BID TO POLICE COURT VIOLATES PARKING LAW Miss Dillard Let Off After Elo quent Pleas by Two Law Students As though a bomb had exploded un expectidly, students on the campus were shocked beyond memory when it became known that Dean Irene Dil lard had been hailed into police court. It was no serious crime that Miss Dillard committed. She just parked her new Cheviolet coupe too long in one place. Miss Dillard went to the business center Satuday morning to do some shopping. She parked the new coupe on Hampton] Avenue between Assem bly and Main streets, and was off on a buying tour. Cop Leaves "Visiting Card" After some minutes had clapsed say about an hour and a quarter-Miss Dillard returned to her automobile and found the steering wheel deco rated with a ticket. She soon discovered it was an ur gent invitation to visit the police sta tion. She had parked the car in one place longer than the law allowed. Yes, Miss Dillard had failed to read the sign: Park One Hour Only. Quickly, she carried the case to her attorneys, "Cy" Young and Dave Jen kins. These two University law stu dents heard the story of Miss Dillard and made necessary preparations to defend her at the bar of justice. Appears At Police Court Shortly afterwards Miss Dillard and her attorneys appeared before the desk sergeant at the police station. Having a sense of humor, the desk sergeant listened to the law students' argument in which it was contended that the defendant was ignorant of the parking law and was excited over her new coupe.
