First Public Appearance in
“Spring Beauties.”
The “Ins and Outs of Shakespeare
Criticism” was the subject of a pa
per by Professor Herbert Crombie
iiowe before the regular assembly
l'3sterday morning. The title “Ins”
was given to Shakespearean critics
|,-ho explain the character of all
Shakespeare’s works by his own per
sonality, and the “Outs” to those who
attribute his manner of treatment of
ids subject and characters by the edu
cation of the audiences who were to
witness his plays, the theatres where
ITrfecsci Herbert Crombie Howe.
\
the plays were produced, and the
'castes of each.
Professor Howe said that the con
tention of the “Ins” is supported by
Hie professorial critics, and that of
the “Outs” principally by unacademic
/riters. He said: “Mr. Frank Harris
is the most notable advocate of the
explanation of the “Ins.” and Mr.
Brander Matthews is the best repres
entative of the position of the “Outs.”
Professor Howe, in his paper, gave
a brief outline of the love affair of
Shakespeare with Mary Fitton, and
described the family relations of

ROYAL EGYPTIAN FLIRT NOT
BRUNETTE. SAYS PROF. DUNN
Cleopatra of Grecian, not Egyptian
Birth—Caesar and Anthony
Figure i»* Lecture.
“Cleopatra was in all probability
an entrancing blonde instead of the
dusky skinned beauty as is commonly
believed,” was the statement of Pro
fessor Dunn in his lecture on art yes
terday afternoon. He attributes her
attractiveness not so much to sheer
physical loveliness as to personal
magnetism. The lecturer bore out
his statement by showing on the
screen photographs of coins bearing
her image, of busts modeled from
paintings, and of wall decorations
which contain her picture.
He also proved that the Egyptian
queen was of Grecian birth, thus up
setting another common belief con
cerning the famous sweetheart of the
Roman general.
In the latter part of his address,
Professor Dunn gave a short but
comprehensive history of her life, de
tailing many points of interest gen
erally unknown to the reading public.
The next lecture in this series will
'os “Famous Greek Celebrities.”

RUSSIAN THRILLS MANY
\udience of 800, Musicians and Non
Musicians Awed by Power Shown
by Tina Lerner.
Eight hundred students and towns
people were guests of Mu Phi Epsi
lon Wednesday evening, in Villard
Hall. And eight hundred people left
Villard Hall firm in the conviction
that they had heard one of the most
brilliant and talented pianists of the
age.
As the first soft caressing notes of
the Caprice on “Alceste” drifted and
eddied through the dingy arches of
old Villard—threading the rhythmic
measures of the Waltz in A Flat—
caught up and carried through the
mazes of Rubenstein’s Barcarolle—
and gently brought back to reality
with the last lingering trill of the
Spanish Rhapsodie—each of the
eight hundred, artist or novice, neo
phyte or sceptic, emerged with a
deeper sense of the marvellous power
of the Art of Arts; and a respect that
was almost awe for the youthful art
ist who, unassisted and in a strange
land, could hold sway at once over
the sympathetic, and the untutored
devotee of ragtime.
Miss Lerner is touring the West
under the management of Mr. Loudon
Charlton, and is now playing under
the auspices of the Portland Musical
Association. Her appearance here
was in the form of a complimentary
concert by Mu Phi Epsilon to the
University and city. The patronesses
for the occassion were Mrs. P. L.
Campbell. Mrs. A. C. Dixon, Mrs. M.
H. Douglass, and Miss G. W. Lewis.

CO-ED ATHLETES
GYM EXHIBIT!
AND ADVISERS WOULD OPEN
TO GENERAL COLLEGE PUBLIC
VARSITY WOMEN FAVOR SCHEME WITHOUT EXCEPTION —
MISS PERKINS AFRAID OF PLAN, BUT
WOMENS DEAN IS ARDENT
BOOSTER
There has long: been at the Uni
versity a sentiment in favor of mak
ing- the inter-sorority and interclass
basketball games among the college
women general college contests, held
perhaps in the larger gymnasium, but
at least open to all of the students.
At present an effort is under way to
have the exclusive nature of these
contests changed.
Dr. Bertha Stuart, physical direc
tor of women at the University, is one
of those favoring the open games.
Speaking of this she says:
“Personally 1 am heartily in favor
of such an action. When this ques
tion was put to a vote among the
gi:ls last spring, it was lost by only
a few votes. Yes, I think that it
would be a good thing.”
“Should the girl's basketball games
and spring gymnasium drill be played
in the Men’s Gymnasium and be open
to University students?” Miss Eva
Roche, captain of the Senior class
team, was asked. “Why shouldn’t
they be?” she said, “the games are
of interest to everyone in college and
they ought to be admitted, but of
course Dr. Stua’t should decide this.”
7. he captain of the Junior class
team, Miss Hazel Rader, was not so
■,a e about the basketball games being
pen to all, but felt that the gyrnna
fsium diills should be. Miss Gladys
Grayhill. leader of the Freshman
team, thought that, “providing invi
tations are given out, I see no reason
against it.” Captains of all the sor
ority basketball teams were inter
viewed,—none were opposed to the
idea. To get the concensus of opinion
among the girls, a great many young
women were consulted,—out of the
number only one was directly op
posed to the girls playing before an
audience of college students. Secre
tary of the Student Body, Miss Eli
zabeth Busch, thought that “only by
seeing the gills play could the stu
dents judge their skill, and they have
some awfullj good games,” she ad
ded. “Well, 1 should like to see
every one enjoy the games,” said Miss
Nell Hememvay; and Miss Flora
Dunham, editor of the Oregon
Monthly, told the repoiter that “it is
done very successfully in Eastern
schools, many of them even have in
tercollegiate teams.”
“At Washington 5.ate Collage,’
said Miss Gertrude Miller, formerly a
student there, “girls basketball is not
much played, bat the girls join with
the boys in giving a gymnasium ex
hibition. Hundreds of people attend,
for the most part students and par
ents,—the audiences are respectful,—
they are inteiested in the work ana
the girls enjoy it.” Bess Young, who
previously went to Idaho College,
said, "1 have been used to the girl’s
games being open to the students.
The plan worked splendidly and
there were no objections to it.”
Miss Mary Perkins, instructor in
English, did not think the idea could
be worked successfully, but Miss Ruth
Guppy, Dean of Women, said thut
“to her mind the plan would lend more
interest to girls athletics and result
in a more democratic feeling among
them. There is nothing unladylike
about it, and I hope that they will
open their games to the college stu
dents that wish to attend.”
Boynton Speaks in Portland.
Professor W. P. Boynton, of the de
partment of Physics, will speak to the
Portland Y. M. C. A. tonight on the
subject of “Wireless Telegraphy.”
This is one of the lectures of a

on modern problems by members of
the 0. A. C. and University of Ore
gon faculties. The wireless appartus
recently installed by the Association
will be utilized during the lecture.

HAYWARD PI TS WEIGHT ON
SKINNY GRIDIRON MEN
0 -ebon's Vest Pocket Quarterback
(Jains 11 Pounds by Use of Bill’s
Taftinir Process.
(By Lee Hendricks.)
Wow! Also zowie! Who was that
fat person who almost mashed us
against the library door, Grayce?
That. Edythe, is "Arise” Cornell, who
used to be called our midget quarter
back. I’m sure he didn’t mean toi
crowd 11s, though, but he just can’t
1 elp it since he’s been following the
latest flesh-building system.
It surely has Mrs. Susanna Co
in oft’s method and all the other sys
tems for Tafting the human race an
chored to the track for results. It’s
simplicity itself. All you have to do
is to turn out for football under
’’inkham and Hayward, and you’ll
outgrow your belt in a short time.
It. sounds strange, because football
was formerly supposed to be wear
ing on the physique, but it’s true.
When Cornell came here last fall,
he was known as the midget, the
pygmy, the diminutive marvel, the
vest pocket edition of a quarterback.
Now they can’t call him any of these
names, because he has grown so.
Not. up and down, you understand,
but back and forth, or, to speak
geographically, north and south.
h r he weighed 125, now, at last ac
counts, it is 136. It’s the same way
vith Parsons. He came up from 151
to 163. Others have waxed fat in
)i opoi tion.

Y. M. C. A. MEETING WILL
NOT CONFLICT WITH PLAY
Gale Seaman, Pacific Coast Secre
tary of the Student Y. M. C. A., will
speak to the men of the University
next Friday evening, of the subject
“Character Building.”
Mr. Seaman has appeared several
times before the college men, and has
an intimate acquaintance with the
colleges on the coast and the condi
tions of the students.
Although the meeting comes on the
same night as the Dramatic Club
play, the address will be concluded in
plenty of time as to enable the men
to attend both.
