Drama Class to Give Proceeds of Plays to Organization. “Nance Oldfield,” “The Neigh bors” and “The Game” in Guild Hall May 4 and 5. The dramatic interpretation depart ment will give to the Red Cross organi zation the proceeds from three one-act plays to he presented in Guild hall at 8:15 on Friday and Saturday nights, May the fourth and fifth. Two of the plays, “Nance Oldfield” and “The Neighbors”, are comedies, and the other play, entitled "The Game” which wns written by Louise Bryant 'OS. and is very significant at the present time. "Nance Oldfield” is the story of that famous actress and costumes of the per iod of the '70’s are used. “ 'The Neighbors’ is one of the best cast plays we have put on”, said Mrs. Frederick Thorne, who is aiding in the coaching, "The characters are country people who insist in saying things in a ridiculously funny way. Tracy Byers as the bashful lovesick swain, Arlo Bris tow as Ezra, and Mary Alice Hill as gradtna are particularly funny.” The plays in the order of their pre sentation and the casts follow: “The .Neighbors” Grandma .Mary Alice Hill Mrs. Abel .Helen Braeht Ezra .

The University women are rallying to the coursees offered military pre paredness. Two of the courses, physical preparedness, and first aid and emer gencies, have begun, and the lectures on Red Cross, which is a volunteer course for which no University credit is given, will begin next Tuesday at three o’clock. Fifteen girls are appearing every af ternoon at four o’clock for military drill under Miss Mabel Cummings, director of the woman’s gymnasium, and they, as well as the men, now have the right to boast of stiff joints and sore backs. Sixty-two girls have entered the class in first aid and emergencies, which meets three times each week nt three o’clock. The course is given under the instruc tion of Miss Lulu Geil, a certified Red Cross nurse. Although in order to take the last two courses mentioned, the two girls are permitted to drop a corresponding num ber of hours of regular work, the girls seem loath to do it, and in the majority of cases are taking their preparedness courses in addition to their other duties.

HMSJj LAUDED Work of Students Wins Praise From the “Spectator.” Creation of State Theatre Which Will Belong to Pub lic Predicted. In a recent issue of “The Spectator” there appeared an article on “How the University Serves the State” in which it spoke of the need of arts as a back ground for all the professions and the necessity of democratizing all the voca tions through art. In regard to Oregon’s course in Dra matic Interpretation and its cooperation with the English department, The Spec tator says, “Some of the most interest ing democratic work of the University comes through the cooperation of the de partment of dramatics with the English department, for‘every year the classes in dramatic production present the worthy work done in the English courses. The Dramatic department has recognized the value of the drama as an expression of the people, and so is doing a fnr larger work than merely to train students for professional acting. “Not only has the department had a far-reaching influence giving suggestions to the small schools and to all manner of clubs and other organizations through out the State; but it has trained students to plan dramatic undertakings for various communities and various conditions, par ticularly in the country places where it is difficult to plan the production of a play. The significance of this work lies in the general interest created in devel oping sincere and artistic productions and means that before long we can hope for a state theatre which will belong to the public and have no need for endow ments and will always be where it is wanted. “Thus we can in a large way hope to bring the beautiful ideas into the life of the people and at the same time give our own poets a medium for expression.” Patronize Advertisers Phone One Two Three For your Laundry Work Ordinary Repairiifg Done Free.
