din-Simmons university, will be
presented tonight at 8 o'clock at
the HSU auditorium with Eva Le-
Gallienne heading a Broadway

ponent of Ibsen, is also producer
and director of the play Her com-

coming to the Georgia-Georgla
Tech football game Saturday
with "about two (2) gallons of
good liquor which must be con-
sumed at the x x x game "
A request was added that
“your ushers wait until we have
finished the Ambrosia before es-
corting us to our rooms."
“Always glad to oblige, said
the chief. "Our rates are $7 (the
usual fine for drunkenness) a
night—all rooms without bath.”

ing man, is one of the most com-
petent she has ever assembled and
includes Peter Capell, Lionel Ho-
garth, Matthew Smith, Marion
Evensen, Alice John and Katherine
Squire
Hedda Gabler has remained one
of Miss LeGallienne's favorite roles
since she presented the Ibsen mas-
terwork in her famed Civic Rep-
ertory theater in New York, Since
then she has been generally rank-
ed among the greatest students
and exponents of Ibsen's women,
and her straightforward interpre-
tations. without disturbing and ex-
traneus mannerisms, are consid-
ered authoritative and of remark-
able depth.
Miss LeGallienne's company was
due to arrive at 1:20 this after-
noon from Waco Tickets are on
sale today at Ward's Hilton phar-
macy or may be bought from G.
B Sandefer, HSU artist course
manager.
Navicert System
Goes Into Effect
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1——
Great Britain's navicert system,
designed to speed approved Amer-
ican goods through contraband
patrol areas to neutral European
ports, went into effect today.
The system amounts to a pre-
examination of American exports
by British consulates. The consuls
were authorized to accept the first
applications for such examinations
today.
A navicert, or naval certificate,
may be presented to a British con-
traband patrol to show that the
British government already knows
the nature of a shipment and has
no objection to its transportation
to a neutral country.
