POST FESTUM.
Seutscher Verein to Present Wich
ert’s One Act Comedy “After the
Ball”.
People fortunate enough a year
ago to attend the successful pre
sentation of “Der Neffe als Onkel"
by the Deutscher Verein will be
particularly interested in knowing
that the organization is again re
hearsing a play which promises to
maintain its former high standard of
excellence.
After much deliberation the
Verein finally chose Ernest Wich
ert’s comedy, Post Festum, as be
ing particularly fitted for its pur
pose. Those in charge of selecting
a German play are always confront
ed with the problem of presenting
one that will meet the approbation
of those readily understanding Ger
man and, at the same time, meeting
the requirements of those who, be
cause of less familiarity with Ger
man, depen<TTargefpnj{JmS4te-2£t
ing out of the plot for the evening’s 1
enjoyment. All who are familiar <
with the play or any who have wit- '
nessed the rehearsals thus far feel i
certain that Post Festum will be i
satisfactory to all.
The play is largely pantomime.
The old General, impatient with the
demands of social events and him
self a good fellow in an informal
way; Stem, the absent-minded Pro
cessor,_sc-J*mch in-love - with - the-
General’s daughter that his failing
is even accentuated, and who there
fore considerably complicates mat
ters; von Brunnen, the debonair
young law student; Frida the
daughter—these are but some of
the characters that lend interest to
the plot and in whose delineation
there is presented opportunity for
the display of histrionic talent by
the cast.
The rehearsals have been going
on for some time and promise well
for the general success of the play.
The sale of tickets has been en
couraging and the management feels
that from all present indi
cations, Thursday evening, Feb.
29, will witness an event worthy of
anything done by the Verein
in past years. It may be of
interest to those not understanding
German to learn that a very com
plete English synopsis is to be in
cluded in the program.
The College Prohibition Movement.
Through the efforts of Mr. Cal
vin, the representative of the Inter
collegiate Prohibition Association, a
College Prohibition League has
been organized. The league has
for its purpose the equipment of
college men for service and leader
ship in the settlement of the liquor
problem. It stimulates broad,
many sided and systematic discus
sion, and a study of the whole ques
tion, so as to guard against narrow
ness and unsatisfactory methods; it
enlists young men for service in non
license, local and State prohibition,
legislative districts, "out-to-win”,
and other campaign work.
Its occasion is the crying demand
for educated men with principle and
conviction in public affairs, in the
city, state and nation, and the
heartfelt conviction on the part of
thousands of University and Col
lege men that no point of attack is
more strategic than that of the
liquor traffic. It is independent of

an"ouTtwiSti-'i anjf- movements but
co-operates, by furnishing them
with young workers, with all such
organizations as need the services of
college men.
The investigations of the Prohi
bition Movement are conducted by
means of student leagues, dis
cussions, oratorical contests, labora
tory work in campaigns, instructions
in the principles of the prohibition
-reform ,-andJeaves—with-the-student
tbe right to decide where his life
influence shall be placed, the only
right way to guide thinking young
men.
The next meeting of the league
will be held in the Old Chapel at
6:30 p. m. on Friday Feb. 23, 1912
At this time the history of license
and the methods for putting a
check on the liquor traffic will be
discussed by upper classmen and
members of the faculty. Later
on in the year members of the
league will have an ooportunity to
compete in local, state, interstate,
and National Oratorical contests on
subjects suitable to the question at
hand, prizes from $5 to $5O will be
given to the winner of such con
tests. These contests are open to
any Penn State man who is a mem
ber of the league. This is an excel
lent opportunity for the men who
have lately taken the stand to live
an offensive Christian life, to be
come acquainted with the methods
employed in fighting down one of
our greatest national evils. Don't
forget the meeting Friday night.

Liberal Arts Play.
In these days of rapidly eclipsed
musical comedy it is refreshing to
turn to some drama which has
stood the test of time and has been
appreciated by many generations.
Such a one is "She Stoops to
Conquer," which will be played by
the members of the Liberal Arts
Club on Saturday evening, March 2.
The educative value of Gold
smith's comedy is equalled only by
the liveliness of the situations and
the sparkle of the dialogue. It is a
play which seems ever new, adopt
ing itself to peoples of all times
equally well. It is one of the dis
tinctive things in English; Literature
with which every college man and
woman ought to be acquainted.
