Wednesday evening, Professor Red die gave in his class room, for the benefit of any who cared to come, a dramatic reading of Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities.” About fifty were pres ent, listening through the two hour reading with an attention that was unbroken and intense. His hearers were struck with the earnestness and simple dignity of Professor Reddie’s manner. His work is to him his mis sion. “The Tale of Two Cities” is a story of the French revolution, which gives adequate cause for the reign of La Guillotine in the crazed despair of the citizens of Paris. It is a story of heroism which culminates in the death of Sidney Carton. Professor Reddie’s interpretation lay not merely in his powerful dramatization, but in his skillful choice of selection as well. Two Multnomah tennis players, James F. Erwing and Brandt Wicker sham, have been placed among the first ten in the Northwestern rank ings, which have been recently giv en out by the committee. Wicker sham is in seventh place and Erwing in ninth position. ■ATTEND LARA WAY’S REMOVAL SALE I am compelled to move the first of the year and will occupy the building just north of the Hoff man Hotel and will not have room for all my extensive line.
