Club Gets Biggest Ovation of Its Whole Year. ALL ENCORES ARE USED Musical Critics Reported As Favorably Impressed. The first appearance of a Girls’ Glee Clnh in Portland, which was in the nature of an experiment, was a complete success in every way, according to Professor Poland A. Coon, director of the dull. The concert was given at the Heilig theatre last Wednesday evening and the first number brought an ovation from an audi ence which represented the best people of Portland. At no previous appearance during the year has such enthusiasm been shown, said Professor Coon. The members of the club presented a pleasing appearance in their evening dresses, and the attractive stage settings with the lighting effects which were well worked out, added to the effectiveness of the whole. The audience was so in sistent in its appreciation that all of the encore numbers were used. The new’ song, “Chanson Provencale,” by Dell 'Acqua-Shelley, which w'as used by the chili for the first time this year, was one of the most effective numbers on the program. The stunt also brought the usual ovation. Solos We!l Received. The solo numbers were all well pre sented and received and the soloists were the recipients of many beautiful flow’ers. flaskets and bouquets of the beautiful roses for which the Rose City is famed were received. Vincent Engeldinger, pianist with the club, is declared to have a peculiar preference for red carnations rather than the more expensive roses. The soloists with the glee club wejc Genevieve Clancy, soprano; Laura Rand, contralto; Alberta Potter, violinist, and Vincent Engeldinger, pianist. The fact that the glee club concert was so well advertised played an import ant part in the success of the undertak ing, according to Professor Coon. One thousand letters were sent to Portland alumni. The girls sent personal letters to their friends in Portland, one girl sending 35. The concert was advertised in the big business houses, on street cars and in the daily papers. VIMI/OI3 tt 111 r raise. A great deal of the success of the ad vertising campaign was due to the efforts of the president of the glee club, Gene vieve Clancy, and Jack Dundore, busi ness manager, for the trip. The club is indebted to the Sherman-Clay Music com pany, which extended every possible fa vor. They furnished the Steinway Con cert Grand piano for the occasion and as sisted in the publication of the programs. Several of the girls went to Portland in advance of the club and sang at the various high schools. They also gave talks telling of the University, the Jun ior Week-end, and the glee club concert. The high school youngsters were evident ly pleased for they insisted as many numbers as they could get. The girls were entertained at various homes and returned to the campus on Thursday in time to represent their organizations in the canoe fetfe in the evening. Director Well Pleased. “A number of music critics were pres ent, said Ptofessor Coon, “and they wer^ favorably impressed with the work of the glee club. They will probably write up the concert for the musical journals. 1 am well pleased with the results of this first concert in every way. It was our first appearance in Portland but not the last. I am sure. A very good impression was created on this trip and other con certs will be made easier.” Professor Coon stated that this would be the last formal concert of the year. BRITAIN DOES MUCH • TO AID IN INDIA (Continued from Page 1.) for. went on tlie bishop, is public order, protection of life, home, and business, f'f course, he continued, England can be- criticized for her salt tax on the naj f''"es, and for other and similar things. Put when one thinks of the fact that one fifth of all the human race, embracing perhaps the most superstitious fifth, has been placed under the guardianship of England, and has been brought out of a carnival of blood and cruelty, the crit icisms seem petty. Criticism Easier Than Doing. “It is easy to criticize,” snapped out the speaker in a jovial sarcasm. "It’s the easiest thing I know of. It doesn’t fake much brain to criticize—I can criti cize a cake and I couldn’t make one; I could criticize a professor, and I couldn’t teach his classes. If you want to set up in a business with little capital, set up in criticism; but if you want a man-sized job, take the job you criticize and do it- ’ he finished with emphasis on the “do.” England has established five universi ties in India, that carry on a bewildering: sjwtem of education, said the bishop, who spent seven years as exam iner in them. “Britain didn’t have to do that, he declared in his forceful way: s >e did it because she wanted to lift up the natives.” England lias built 100, 000 ,m,es of railroad in India, besides many other improvements, according to Bishop Stuntz. “Eddy Minds” Excited. Those who criticize England for her contro! of India, he went on. only show the unfurnished condition of their men tal rooms.” In nearly everv ease he said, criticism comes from what lie calls eddy minds. Some minds, he said arc ike the current of a great river, they low right along with purpose; others are like the little eddies that occur beside the current. “The eddies.” he said, “never get anywhere, but only go round and round; but there are a lot of them in the world, and ” he added with his ever ready wit, “when one of them gets to bo an edi-tor, it is awful.” In regard to England’s being driven out of India, the speaker was positive that such a thing can not be done. The natives, he said, have been entirely dis armed for the last six years, they haven’t a rifle, a pistol, or a gun of any kind. "If I know anything about it.” said the bishop, “it is a part of the divine plan that England shall hold India, until India becomes seasoned to the new order of life. Christianity Winning India. There is now in India,” he continued, “the greatest single movement toward! /the Christian faith that has over been known since Christ died for the sins of man.” One hundred million of the three million people in India are coming, from all ranks, to the Christian faith. To show that the Indians have ability, he (cited the case of one educated native (whom he declares far surpasses Rabind ranath Tagore in the beauty and imagery pf his expressed thought. This man, said the bishop, holds spellbound audiences of 10,000 or 15,000 persons who come to bear him tell of the Christian religion. Bishop Stuntz closed his talk with a plea to the college students that they hail the opportunity of going to India, to stand by the side of his son, who is a Christian educator there. The bishop drew many laughs from his audience by his forceful, original and sometimes caus tic comments on present practices in j American politics, as a sidelight on his remarks concerning England’s control of India. At the opening of the assembly, Glen Morrow', baritone, sang “There is a Place i of Dreams,” and responded with an en core. WHOLE COLLEGE STUDENT BODY IN HAWLEY FILM Making a whole college work in the pictures—that’s what happened last fall in Los Angeles. It all came about dur ing the making of “The Snob,” a college comedy-drama filmed by Rcalart as a 'H onda Hawley starring vehicle. Campus scenes were needed—and a Southern California university nicked as the locale But when the company arrived diffi culties cropped up. All the collegians insisted on taking snapshots of Miss Hawley. William E. Lawrence, Walter Hiers, Sylvia Ashton and other prom inent players in the production. It seemed almost impossible to clear a space for the motion picture scenes. Finally Director Sam Wood called out “If you people will all get in the scenes we’ll give you fifteen minutes to snap all the pictures you want!” And so it is that the campus scenes look “real”—with actual collegians giv ing true and accurate atmosphere. “I felt right at home,” said Miss Hawley, “It seemed only a few days isnce I was a co-ed at the University of Washington. I was thrilled to death when one collegian, apparently not know | mg 1 was a part of tlit* movie group. | tame up and asked if l was going to the Junior 'Prom’!” ; "The Snob" will appear at the Castle theatre for two days beginning Friday It was scenflmed by Alice Kyton from (he \\ illiatn J.
