The University orchestra will make its second public appearance next Fri day and Saturday evening when it will play for the two performances of “The ! Wizard of Oz,” which is being played by the dramatic department of the Univer | sity. The orchestra will play between intermissions and for the several dances which are in the play. The annual orchestra concert will be given this year in March. The program has already been arranged and consist ent work started on the selections. A | feature of the program will be “The Toy Symphony,” which will be the last num ber on the program. It is the plan of Miss Winifred Forbes, director of the orchestra, to have the members appear in costume for this selection. Many special instruments are required for this number and they have all been sent for. The rest of the program consists of very interesting numbers among which are selections from the “Surprise Symphony,” an overture from “Martha” and many groups of short, attractive pieces. There will also be some solo and ensemble selections. MRS. THORNE LOIR Instructor in Dramatics Appar ently Losing in Battle for Life. Strange Case Baffles Eugene Physicians Who Are Power less to Help. Mrs. .T. Frederic Thorne, assistant instructor in dramatic interpretation, who has been seriously ill for several weeks has taken a sudden turn for the worse according to attending physicians. At one time yesterday little hope was entertained for Mrs. Thorne’s life. Three doctors and a trained nurse are in attendance at Mrs. Thorne’s home in the Hull apartments. Eugene physicians and nerve experts have been baffled by the strange case with which Mrs. Thorne is suffering. For a considerable period of time the patient has been unconscious and fails to ree ornige familiar faces or speak intelligibly when consciousness does appear to re turn for a time. A part of her face is now paralyzed, seeming to indicate that her condition is growing worse. One explanation advanced by attend ing physicians is that a growth exists on the bone about the skull, caused by a concussion probably due to a fall. This growth they say, may have continued slowly to increase, and push into the brain itself, thus causing a loss of con sciousness.

Play With Eccentric Parts to Be Staged December 15-16. Character Actors Develop as Rehearsals for “Magic of Oz” Progress, Russell Fox. Surprising talent for playing character roles has been discovered during the re hearsals for the “'Magic of Oz” which will be given in Guild hall on the evenings of December 15 and 16. Although this will be the first appearance of many of the east, they are showing skill in the handling of the parts. Cleome Carroll, as Eureka', plays the cat. Her intonations are lifelike, and her “meuws” realistic. Martha Beer, although experienced in this line of work, has been given an en tirely different part than ever before. Sho plays the Patchwork Girl, which gives her opportunities to show dancing ability. Jay Gore also has an unusual part. He is the Tik-Tok Man, who is shaped like a clock, and talks with a clocky rythm. Anne Dawson, in a boy’s role, makes “Tip” a very fascinating youth. The leading role, that of Dorothy Gale, who is blown into the Land of Oz by a Kansas cyclone, will be played by Leta Rhodes. A clever piece of character acting is being done by Mamie Gillette, who is Mamby, the witch, who later turns into a princess. Miss Gillette is especially good in assuming the voice of an old woman. The comedy role will be taken by Vic tor Sether, who plays the cowardly lion. Mr. Sether has a most natural roar, which he is continually using. The cast is a long one, and contains many minor rifles, all of which are eccen tric. The “Magic of Oz” will be pre formed on next Friday and Saturday evenings, with possibly matinee on Sat urday.
