MTMLIPHITHRE
FOUND FOR' ‘PEER BUT
Commencement Week Play Will be
Staged in Outdoor Theatre
Near Eugene.
“Peer Gynt,” to be staged during
Commencement Week by Professor
Reddie and the class in Dramatic In
terpretation, will be played outdoors
in a natural amphitheatre. A suit
able site has been located in the
“Braes” district, two and one-half
miles from Eugene on the College
Hill car line. It is in the shape of
a half-circle, with the sides rising one
hundred and fifty feet. About 5,000
people can be seated on the sloping
hillsides.
Mr. Thome, part owner of the land,
is at present busy with a force of
three men clearing away the under
brush. There is a level place in front
of the half-circle for the stage and
back of this is a dense forest.
The idea of giving outdoor shows
during Commencement Week was in
stituted last year when “As You Like
It” was played on the college campus
to a crowd of 2,000 or 2,000. This
year it was decided to find a better
adapted place to give the show and
Professor Reddie thinks he has found
it. The theatre is only about a quar
ter of a mile from the car linn and
automobiles and carriages will be used
to convey the crowd to the grounds.
All this will be free of charge,-as the
show is given solely as an entertain
ment for the University’s guests.
WOMEN’S CHORA! CLUB
SCORES SUCCESS
(Continued from First Page.)
the most, enthusiastic reception of
all.
The Club Quartette scored a suc
cess in “Leva; Lou” that was en
hanced by their encore, “Banjo Land.”
The first part of the program was
concluded with several instrumental
numbers. The stringed quartette,
composed of tin; Misses Goldsmith and
Abrams, violins, Miss DeBar, viola,
and Miss Davis, piano, played three
passages from St. George’s “L’Ancien
Regime,” and iVliss Bess Bach, the
club accompanist, drew a goodly share
of applause with her rendition of the
“('antique d’Amour,” from Liszt.
Skit Was Evening's Hit.
The second part of the program
consisted of the one-act musical farce,
“When the Irish Meet the Greek,” a
college skit from the pen of Oregon’s
lisciple of George Ade, Lyman G.
Rice, ’14. The motif of the skit, do
mestic intranquillities in a local sor
ority house, furnishes the ground for
a wealth of amusing situations, set
otr by catchy music and lyrics. The
acting of Leola Ball and Myrtle
Gram, as the rivul cooks, was remark
able for faithful portrayal and free
dom from artificiality. Catherine
Carson ,as the Grand President, and
Marie Hagar, as the “thinker,” sus
tained their parts well. Miss Ilagar’s
solo work in the musical numbers call
ing forth much favorable comment.
Women Manage Affair Well.
The uniform successes of this, the
first venture into Student Body activ
ities of a distinctively woman’s organ
ization is attributed largely to the un
tiring efforts of Miss Florence Avery,
the President and leader, and Miss
Catherine Carson, the manager and
business director of the Club. Mr.
Melvin Ogden added luster to his
already brilliant record as director
and trainer. Financially, the concert '
was highly successful. Encouraged by
the reception accorded their initial ef
forts, it is reported the Club is con
templating appearing in several
nearby towns, notably at Corvallis,
where thi Glee Club recently exper
ienced a flattering reception.

Y. M. C. A. Speaker Says That Chris
tianity is Factor in Changing
Conditions.
“Changing standards in the atti
tude of men towards business, and in
the attitude of society towards the
double standard in morality,” is the
predominating movement of the day,
according to Hon. Oliver P. Coshow,
of Roseburg, who spoke before the Y.
M. C. A. last evening.
Economic forces are not responsible
for the anti-militarism movement
among nations today, continued Mr.
Coshow, but it is due instead to “the
persistent forces of Christianity in the
hearts ofman.” Applying this change
to local conditions, the speaker point
ed out that this state was formerly a
vide open commonwealth for track
gambling but that the same “under
lying cause” that is working through
the nations has been experienced here.
“Don’t be discouraged if we don’t
see immediate results in our efforts
to attain the single standard of mor
ality,” Coshow advised, “for today too
much effort is being made to enact
everything into laws at once.” As a
final word of advice, the harm of
arousing religious prejudice in the
effort to attain the reforms desired
was pointed out.

LONDON—The British naval pro

several submarines and destroyers.
PORTLAND—Cyrus H. K. Curtis,

cause Oregon’s coach is a pitcher, and
declares Oregon’s available material
is excellent. At present Welch, Big
bee, and Tuerck, are first material,
but Ayer declared last night that
Flemming has shown splendid im
provement in the past week.
The team needs fair weather. It
j must have time for practice. Last
I year’s reputation, declares Ayer, will
| do no good without a lot of practice.
[ '('he loss of the infield men has broken
the backbone of last year’s squad, and
instead of having a team this year, at
present, all he can claim is a bunch
of rattling good material.
Captain Chandler is not over en
couraged at the situation. He de
clares the batting is poor, and the
team must have much training before
coming into shape. On Monday be
gins real hard work. A five inning
game will occur each day.
Preliminary to the opening of the
college season are to be played several
practice games. Efforts are being
made to have the Portland Colts stop
here on the way north from California
early in April. Negotiations are un
der way for a game with the Regina,
Canada, team which is to soon begin
training in Albany, and a game with
tho Albany city team will also be
sought.
