There was no program this after- • noon, but Dr. Brown spoke to the stu-dents about his plans for this year. He impressed upon the freshmen the importance of following the teachers' Instructions, as this is essential in laying the foundation for their future work. He also gave some directions about the care of the practice rooms. Dr. Brown next discussed the week of opera that the college is going to have in January. He said that It was the greatest event in his life, that here at this college there was going to be a whole week devoted to operas, giving the students opportunities that were not dreamed of twenty years ago. He concluded his remarks by wishing each student a successful year. Two very interesting plays have been scheduled by the Playlikers for the first of the coming season. The association is opening the year by giving a presentation of "The Pat-sy," October 27th. This was recently produced as a movie with Marion Davies playing the leading role.

The action takes place in an old English garden. The time varies, as the first scene is 1914, the second, 1865, and the last, 1918. It is an Irish love story in which the song, "Smiling Through,'; plays a prominent part. Monday, October 8th, the cast was chosen.

STATE FIRE CHEF IS CHAPEL SPEAKER Sherwood Brockwell Interests College Assembly in Fire Prevention Speech ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE KOSLOFF BALLET ACCOMPANIES PLAYUKERS HOLD TRY-OUTS IN STUDENTS « 125 Girls Bid for Entrance to Dramatic Organisation—TUrty-eight Are Accepted The try-outs for entrance into the Playlikers were, held Monday night, September 24, 1928, In the auditorium of the Students Building. Approximately 125 girls turned out for the occasion, which proved to be quite successful, considering that 88 freshmen and upperclassmen from this group were accepted as new members. The Playlikers is the dramatic or-ganisation of N. C. C. W. This dub has been rather exclusive, strictly 1 uniting Its membership to upperclassmen of recognized dramatic ability. The policy of permitting freshmen to join the Playlikers was Inaugurated for the trot time this fall. Greensboro is shortly to have a visit from Xenia Makletzova, a famous Rui> sian classic dancer, accompanied by her partner, Monsienr D. Bines, and the Koslpff Ballet, who is on an exclusive tonr of the United States. Wherever Mme. Makletzova has appeared, she has been hailed as one of the greatest danc-ers Russia has produced, and she has been compared by cities only to Pav-lova. The National Theater patrons may look forward to a real artistic treat on Tuesday, October 16, when they appear here. Color, variety, and the entire gamut of human emotions will characterize the elaborate dance program. Bizarre costumes of the olden colorfnl days of Spain, China, Greece, Persia, with up-to- the-minute dance creations of Paris, are shown in the artistic ensembles and solo achievements. Mr. Kosloff's name stands out in the world of dance. In presenting the Alexis Kosloff Ballet he never forgets the claim of real beauty. In his ballet all the arts of the stage are combined. They are life, but life glamorous with magnificent color, with the strange glow of exotic settings, with the allurement of exquisite girls, magnificent costumes, irresistible music. Not for a moment does the onlook-er's eye fail to be enchanted with the msrvelously intricate interweavings of living motion. The interplay of gor-geous color, the sparkle of grace and beauty of rhythmic movement. Thus, with the Terpsichorean colt is the spirit I of the days. One of the most interesting chapel programs of the year was presented Tuesday in keeping with Fire Preven-tion Week. Mr. Sherwood Brockwell, fire chief of North Carolina, gave a most charming talk in the interest of fire prevention. Mr. Brockwell is, without doubt, that rarest of individuals—an interesting speaker. His energy, vivacity, and dra-matic talent, made his prosaic subject bristling with life and color. In a humorous, catchy style he called our at-tention to th'e fact that North Carolina lost $6,000,000 worth of property by fire last year, and that we burn 51 cents worth of property for every $1.00 put into our good roads. He begged ns for our own sakes to help prevent lire by putting into practice in our homes and in the schools, where most of us will go to teach, the simple, common sense rules of fire prevention. These rules are: -"Dont let trash accumulate; don't leave matches where children and rats can get hold of them; and kill every rat you see." Before the talk Mr. Hnrley made an announcement concerning the lecture course for this year. The course seems to offer many enjoyable evenings for the year. It will be opened Friday eve-ning by William Beebe, the scientist and explorer, who will speak on "The Wonders of Sea Life." The lecture will be illustrated by moving pictures. The chapel program for this coining Friday will be a piano recital by Miss Nevora Bergman, of the musie depart-ment. ' ORCHESTRA HOLDS ITS FIRST PRACTICE TUES. »-. — i, Is Enlarged 'by the Addition of Five Violin Players, One Viola and ' Two Cello Players WILLIAM BEEBE TO SPEAK FRIDAY NIGHT "Under the Tropic Seas" Will Be the Subject of the Scientist's Lecture at the Auditorium MOTION PICTURES TO BE SHOWN The first lecture of the fine series sponsored by North Carolina college this season will be given by William Beebe, noted scientist and explorer, Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock in Aycoek au-ditorium, according to L. B. Hurley, of the department of English at the state institution for women. "Under Tropie Seas" is Mr. Beebe's subject. Motion pictures, showing ljfe beneath the surface of Gonave bay, Haiti, will be used to describe the fairyland filled with strange living things which make the background for the speaker's mes-sage. The scientist is said to be aa unusually brilliant lecturer. Material which forms the basis of the story of wonders Mr. Beebe gathered during exciting experiences of an expe-dition to Haiti. The pictures were taken with a specially constructed motion pic-ture camera. Mr. Beebe is director of tropical re-search for the New York Zoological So-ciety, He has long been spoken of as a scientist with a popular appeal. COLLEGE EDITORS' MEET POSTPONED TILL NOV. 1 FACULTY MEMBERS TAKE TRIP ABROAD ■ ■♦ Dr. Collings Talks of Journey to Europe—Misses Largent and Spier Go Also TOUR VARIOUS COUNTRIES Meeting Scheduled to Be on October 11 Proves Inconvenient to Hosts snd Others The orchestra held Its first practice Tuesday night, October 2, at 7:30 o'clock, in the basement of the music building. The orchestra is much enlarged this year.- There are five new violin play-ers, one viola, and two 'cellos. It Is Interesting to observe that each year, probably as a direct result of the state music contest held here each spring, the high schools are sending out a greater number of more skilled players. The orchestra rehearsals will be held regularly every Tuesday night, and any student, playing any orchestral Instru-ment that would like to be in the or-chestra during the coming year, wljl be cordially welcomed to attend the next rehearsal. The North Carolina Collegiate Press Association meeting, which was sched-uled to be held at Davidson College October 11, 12 and 13, has been post-poned until Npvember 1-3.

Katie Gravely, editor-in-chief of the Carolinian, and vice-president of the N. C. C. P. A., and Christie Maynard, managing editor of the Carolinian, will represent this publication. Elizabeth Moore, editor, and Betty Sloan, busi-ness manager, will be sent by the Co-raddi. Elisabeth McCombs, editor, and Era Linker, assistant business manager, will go from the Pine Needles staff. SPEAKERS' CLUB SELECTS HILDA BURTON AS LEADER Despite the fact that Dr. Buth Col-lings said that she had nothing different to tell about her trip abroad, after tour-ing England, Scotland, Holland, Bel-gium. France, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany it seems that she had a most enjoyable summer. Dr. Collings and Miss Vera Largent, of the history de-partment of North Carolina College, went together. They toured Great Brit-ain alone, but. later joined a party of 20 people. The party was privately con-ducted by Miss Jeraldine Dalla, of Rol-lins College. Miss "Etta Spier, of the Education department, was a member of the travelers. Dr. Collings said that she believed she liked Great Britain especially be-cause of its historical background. She visited an island a bit off the coast of Glasgow, Scotland, where her mother's people live. This island, the Island of Islay, is practically unknown to most tourists. Dr. Collings described it as being rather bleak, cold, and rocky. Here the English and Scotch quite often come for the summer. The only Amer-ican ship which was torpedoed during the World War was washed up at the Island of Islay. A monument has been erected there in memory of the Ameri-can soldiers and sailors of the disaster. Miss Largent and Dr. Collings, then, were the only Americans on the island.

The president spoke of the beginning of the college 36 years ago—of the 200 students and 13 faculty members assem-bled to start work.
