"Theatre," by W Somerset
Maugham. Doubleday, Doran; 202
p. $2.50 In Voertman's Loan Li-
brary.
Mr. Maugham's newest book
attempts to show what a famous
actress really looks like inside, and
we must report the X-ray picture
anything but glamorous and exotic.
Julia l^amhert got her first
:dart in a one-horse rural English
repertory company. She is not
beautiful, but her "india-rubber
face," as one director labelled it,
can register any emotion at the
drop of a handkerchief In short,
she i:- a "natural." She has worked
hard, lemming rapidly, when she
becomes infatuated with Michael,
a strikingly handsome creature,
but a mediocre actor. They are
soon married, although they do
not really love each other. Julia's
affections, such as they are, re-
main constant mainly because she
is busy getting somewhere in
the world. Michael is much better
in business than on the stage
and before long he ha- established
a successful London company
starring his wife. Julia finally
succumbs to temptation in the form
of a very young accountant, Tom
Fcnnell. whom Michael brings
home to dinner one evening. The
rest of the book is devoted to
extricating Julia from this affair
and closes with Julia completely

cured and free from entangle-
ments.
Mr. Maugham has produced a
model of novelistic construction,
good execution and smooth narra
tion. What he lacks is an inter
eating plot The colorless account
of second rate characters of low
intellectual and emotional levels
is hardly worth the reader's time
Julia, who can dilineate character
with such Oneness on the stage,
is in private life an earthy person
incapable of deeper feeling, which
seems to us a hit incongruous
Michael is a common creature
whose emptiness of character is
sui|>assed only by Tom who i-
.selflsh, ungrateful, crude, and an
example of the perfect cad. Most
people have something to make
them worth loving, but why Julia
picks Tom is never made apparent.
The liest characterisation is Julia's
seventeen-year-old red-headed son
who was packed off to boarding '
chool at an early age after the
best English manner and there
fore free from his mother's in-
fluence. The best scenes in
"Theatre" are not of the theatre,
but of midnight suppers and week
ends in the country, and they are
rather good.
Bernard de Voto calls the book
"Noel Coward without tears," but
we imagine Mr. Coward doesn't
appreciate the reference.

inan. book critic of "The New Yorker," in which Fad-
iman says he reads about eighteen books weekly,
"one to four of them page by page and the others
superfically." He continues: "The idea is to learn
to read in paragraphs instead of sentences, and
parades, then finally to read by pages. It may soun<! diffi-
cult, but it can be done, except in cases of .very
difficult prose. Also, after reading books for a
long time, you get a feeling for a book because of
this close association with them."
CLASSES. LASSES, . . .
This from Sunday's Daily Texan:
A good sense of humor and a handy eraser enabled
Dr. Joseph Jay Jones, instructor in English, to vet
even with some "smarties" in his class recently.
Before Dr. Jones came to class, one of the tu-
dents wrote the following announcement on the
board:
"Dr. Jones will not meet his classes Wednesday."
By the time Dr. Jones arrived, another student
had applied the eraser to leave the following:
"Dr. Jones will not meet his lasses Wednesday."
Not to be outdone, Dr. Jone« erased one more let-
ter.

Beneath an apple tree,
And dreamed of music and dancing feet
With ladies fair and free.
An apple hung upon the tree
And longed to break the law;
When gravity gave it a pull
It smacked Ike on the jaw.
And Ike, shaken by the blow,
Did spring up seeing red;
And in his agony he struck
A hornets' nest with his head!
The hornets quickly swarmed out
And saw an excellent chance
To establish their residence

(The Daily Texan)
Senator (i. II Nelson of Tahoka
and Dr. Joe Hay of North Texas
State Teachers College, two of the
leading authorities in Texas on a
unicameral legislative system,
spoke to the University Debate
Institute for higl. school students
here Saturday. Final winners in
the gills' and boys' debates were
announced Saturday night.
Saturday meetings closed the
two-day session of the first de-
bate conference of its kind ever
held in Texas. Foui hundred and
fifty high school debaters from
seventy-five schools attended the
three-day conference.
Senator Nelson, in addressing a
luncheon in the Union lounge, de-
clared that a bicameral legislature
could be corrupted six times more
easily than could a single house
under the unicameral system.
"Corruption and domination of
the Legislature," Nelson said,
"may be obtained by influencing
the Lieutenant-Governor or the
Speaker of the House, a majority
ol a conference committee which
each may appoint, or by influenc-
ing a majority on the floor of
each l>ody. With a unicameral sys-
tem the legislature could only !>e
influenced by dominut ng a ma-
jority of the body on the floor."
Senator Nelson's plan would
have two representatives elected
from each Congressional district
for overlapping terms of four
years, one to be elected every two
years.
The Senator refuted a question

the unicameral system the gover-
noi could not influence the Lieu-

informal session with the debaters
in Hogg Memorial Auditorium
Saturday morning that
lecture and answers to
from the audience.
Considerable time wa
discussing the function
stitutes for the conference com-
mittees system, which Dr. Hay des-
ignated as the "crux of the whole
debater matter." He pointed out
that the history of instructed
conference committees has been
fraught with disaster, because
neither portion of the committee
can comprise its demands when
it is sent from one of the legisla-
tive houses with definite instruc-
tions.
One method by which the bi-
cameral legislature could be re-
tained and yet avoid the possibil-
ity of tie-ups in legislation be-
muse of inability of the two
houses to agree in conference
committee would be to appoint a
joint committee system to investi-
gate and agree on impending bills
before they were presented to the
houses for vote, Dr. Ray sug-
gested.
Bills would still lie amended by
the two houses, he admitted, but
not so frequently and not so tad
ically that the houses could not
adjust the differences easily

Lack of responsibility for
failure to pass constructive legis
lation wouid not be eliminated by
adoption of unicameralism
Hay said, but would
erably lessened.
"The bicameral system

the
Dr.
consid
un-
doubtedly provides a check on
possible 'loose screws,' but it also
confuses responsibility," he ex-
plained. "At the end of the last
special session, the state senators
blamed the Hoi ie for failure to
pass any tax m usure, the House
blamed the Senate, and some of
the senators, not to leave anyone
out, blamed the governor."
Under the unicameral system
there would be fewer legislators
and therefore they would be more
prominent in the public eye, les-
sening the opportunity for lobby-
ists to influence them. Dr. Kay
said. Another advantage of uni-
cameralism he mentioned was that
legislators could Ite paid lietter
-alaries, which would mean that
better men usually would be at-
tracted to the offices.
Last rounds of the high school
debates were held Saturday aft-
ernoon.
"I wish to express my gratitude
for the co-operation of the De-
partment of Government, Dr. C.
P. Patterson. Dr. O. D. Weeks,
Dr. Kay, and Senator Nelson in
making the University High School
Debate Institute the success that
it was," said Thomns A Kousse,
coach of debate and director of
the institute. Mr. Rousse also sig-
nified gratitude for the assistance
rendered him by the members of
the Department of Public Speak-
ing and the Oratorical Association.
