Marie Harlan Start iu Title Hoi Tragedy U'im Well Acted Belle Wind May Pole on Campus Before Performance in Richardson Hall. The annual Belles Lettres play, this year "Herod" was given Tbursda night before a good house. It was one of the most successful plays ever produced by the society. Herod Is a greek play, staging the Bible tragedy of the Galilean song Herod, is written by Stephen Phillips. The costumes and stage pictures were indeed beautiful and artistic.

Marie Harlan played the role of Herod in her usual execllent fashion. Her action was splendid protraying well an extremely heavy and difficult part. Her voice was at its best revealing wide range and power as well as the more delicate shades of expression. Helen Graham as Queen Miriamne played her part In an equally artistic manner. Her protrayal of the Queen's alienation from Herod was especially good, for change of attitude being perfect and complete.

Other parts deserving special mention are those of G.enna Smith as Herod sister, Vida Eckhardt as (Continued on Page Four.) ACS KEEP UP DEBATE RECORD Preps Win Both Ends of Dual Debate With Bethel Academy of Newton. Southwestern's debate record is still to the good for this year. The S. C. Ac's showed they have the right stuff for which S.

A' team was handicapped because John Pratheroe who was injured in baseball practice several weeks ago was unable to take part. On Thursday evening, the day before the debate, J. P. Groom was put on the job, and with Lloyd Banbury as leader, the Bethelites were hopelessly swamped by a 3-0 decision. Southwestern Acs' had more pep and apparently a better grasp of the subject than their opponents.

In rebuttal this was especially no ticeable. The judges here were Supt. J. B. Heffelfinger, of Arkansas City, Judge A.

L. Hamilton of El Dorado and Professor Young of the English department Wichita High School. At the same time the affirmative was winning here, the Acedemy's negative team was winning a 2-1 victory at Newton, thus giving Prof. Stuckel's protegees both ends of the question Oliver Parker led the negative side to a win with the able aid of Woodard It would not be an unheard of thing If some these debaters are heard from in collegiate debates later, for some of S. strongest debaters were Academy products.
