Ernest Hardin Directs
Play At University
(By Marie Cronin.)
"Lady Windermere's Fan" by
that exotic dramatist Oscar
Wilde was the offering of the
Curtain Club of the University
of Texas last Friday night and
we were fortunate enought to
see it.
It was given in the Hogg Mem-
orial Auritorium. The play was
well rendered the lines read
with effectiveness fine enuncia-
tion a delightful understanding
and translation of the subtle
philosophy always the underly-
ing raison d'etre of the Wilde
drama.
That the Curtain Club is un
der the direction of Ernest Har-
din gave the performance added
interest to Bartlett and George
town folk where his work in
drama is so well known.
We are at a loss to say which
gave the greater delight the
play or the setting thereof all
the stage effects having been
arranged and painted by Mr.
Hardin. The pale morning light
f- .sunset moonlight upon Winder-
mere terrace the golden splen-
dor of the Darlington Studio
were all conceived with rare
breath-taking beauty.
-We doubt not that Mr. Hardin
will make a mark either in the
field of drama or art perhaps
bv combining the two might he
not some day reach the heights
nil T- 1
or tne great Jtseiasco.

Field Representative
Explains Eligibility
For Relief Work
SEASONAL OR TEMPORARY
UNEMPLOYMENT DOES NOT
ENTITLE ONE TO GET ON
RELIEF ROLLS
Hundreds of citizens are ap-
plying for work under the Civil
Works Administration program
who are acting under an entirely
mistaken idea as to whSt consti-
tutes eligibility to work accord
ing to a statement prepared by
F. H. Bushick Jr. field repre
sentative of the Texas Relief
Commission. The statement fol
lows :
Men are laboring under the im
pression that merely because
they happen to be unemployed
during the winter season or be-tween-crops
season that they
are entitled to work regardless
of whether or not they are act-
ually in need or destitute. In
other words that this Civil
Works program is just a cash
money opportunity and that be-
cause the United States Govern-
ment is putting up the money
they might as well get their
share of it. In the first place
there1 is a distinct limit to the
amount of money that will be
available to the state of Texas
and this money is allotted to 254
counties which means that
there is only a limited amount
of funds allotted to each county.
When this is used up there will
be no more.
