TRAGEDIAN TO PLAY IN HAAALET AND OTHELLO Walter Hampden Will Appear in Eugene May 1 and 2 One of the most notable events in the field of dramatic art of the whole season will be the coming to Eugene of Walter Hampden, tragedian and in terpreter of Shakespeare, who will ap pear in Hamlet and Othello at the Eugene theatre on Monday and Tues day nights. May 1 and 2. Miss Mary E. Watson, of the English department, saw Mr. Hampden three vears ago in New York in the role of Hamlet, and speaks highly of his work. “He ranks with Sotliern and Forbes Robertson as a Shakespearean tragedian,” she said. “He has a pleas ing personality and appearance, is tall and dark, and speaks his lines with poetic feeling and true dramatic inter pretation. He is entirely satisfying as Hamlet—is just what you hope to see. In the earlier part of his stage career he was doing the lighter and more popular type of dramatic work but was working at several of Shakes I peare’s tragedies on the side, with a cast composed of people who were doing it for love of the work. His marked success in interpreting Shakespeare at tracted notice and he was soon making a name for himself before the public, and is today the greatest American in terpreter of Shakespeare’s tragedies.” Speaking of repertoire playing and the few who attain it, the Outlook says: “Emphatically, of this class is Walter Hampden, an actor who deserves well of the American public, not only for his skill but also because for many years he has manifested an understand ing of that high dignity to which the stage may attain when it is treated with the respect and honor due a great art.” Mr. Hampden also attracted a great deal of attention and favorable com ment several years ago when “The Wayfarer,” in which, he played the lead, was given at Madison Square Garden under the auspices of the Inter church World Movement. Several thousand people took part in this pro duction, which was classed in the same rank with the famous “Passion Play” at Oberammergau. Hampden and his company are on a tour which includes only the large cities. The management felt, however, that, the students of the University would be attracted by such an unusual opportunity and is therefore bringing the troupe to Eugene directly from San ^ Francisco.

REX Soiled, muddy shoest That’s where you lose, appearances will tell. Here in this chair I’ll put a glare upon them something swell. I’ll also fix those yellow kicks and make them black as night; No acids used, no shoes abused, with black I treat you white! Each pair I shine is right in line with patent - leathers, pard! Selected stock that none can knock, so keep this little card— It points the way to the only kinds: They are the Right way Real.

ALPHA CHI OMEGA (Continued from page one) computing the standing of the organi zations the comparison is placed on a much fairer basis,” he explained. New System Used The standings for the winter term were computed under the system of counting the entire number of hours in each house, rather than averaging the individual grades. This method was adopted some time ago. Under the new method the total numbers of each grade is divided by the number of students in the house. The change was made because it was believed that the old system was not a fair indication of the scholastic standings. A report will be made to the indi vidual houses showing the grades made by each of the members, according to Mr. Spencer. It is planned to send these lists out by next Tuesday. This term, for the first time, sheets showing the house standings will not be mailed to the different organizations.

GREENWICH FOLLIES COMING The most noteworthy girl-and-inusic show that will visit Eugene this season is the annual production of the Green wich Village Follies, which comes to the Eugene theatre Tuesday, April 25. The first of these annuals, sponsored by the Bohemians, Inc., played here last season. This second and later ver sion played all of last season at the Greenwich Village and Shubert theatre in New York. None of the players, epi sodes or specialties of the initial edition are to be found in the current “Fol lies.” It is a later, an entirely new and different show. The “Follies” will be presented here identically as during its notable en gagements in New York and Chicago. Neither company nor production has been altered or diluted for its transcon tinental tour. Among its more con spicuous players are Bert Savoy and Jay Brennan, Pee Wee Myers and Ford Hanford, Phil Baker, McCarthy Sisters, James Clemons, Russell Scott, Louis Berkoff and sister Frieda, Collins and Hart, Julia Silvers, Hap Hadley, Hari ette Gimbel, Virginia Bell, and Olga Ziceva. Tihrty famous artists’ models light up the ensembles with their naive and refreshing beauty. CAMPUS WILL BE KEPT GREEN DUNG SUMMER Lack of Funds Will Prevent | Extensive Improvements The lack of funds and the necessity of keeping all expenses down to the minimum will permit very little in the way of improvement on the campus of the University this year, according to W. K. Newell, superintendent of prop erties. It is not his plan, however, to let the shortage of funds interfere with keeping the campus in its present state of beauty. Among the things outlined by Mr. Newell as a part of his spring and sum mer program, is the possibility of paint ing the men’s gym and the R. O. T. C. buildings during the summer. Roth of these buildings are badly in need of paint. The driveway leading to the east entrance of the Woman’s building will be fixed as soon as the ground dries out and the material to do the i work can be obtained. No new cement walks will be con structed on the campus this year, ac cording to Mr. Newell, because of the present lack of funds and because of the future building plans of the Uni versity a definite system of walks could not be laid out at present. Many things have been done during the past season under Mr. Newell’s di rection to beautify the campus. The large tract of land composing a part of the campus between the Music, building and the University high school has been plowed and sown with grass. Boston Ivy, a creeping vine growing on the walls of several buildings on the cam pus, has been planted around the Wom an’s building. The portion of the campus between the Administration building and the Woman’s building is now being developed into a lawn and will be completed whenever the finances of the University will permit. Flower boxes on the windows of Mary Spiller and Susan Campbell halls will soon be filled with attractive flowers. During the winter and early spring all the trees on the campus vere pruned and trimmed into symmetrical shapes by the campus gardener::. The Doug lass fir trees which predominate "n the campus will soon begin to lose some of their midwinter lustre but may be re placed by a myriad of other blossoming flowers and shrubs. Every day of sun shine increases that sweet honey-like smell arising from the balm trees and brings forth other blossoms to help make the University campus the Cam pus Beautiful.

It is the desperate urge that compels man to throw to the winds even the ideals he has cherished through ages . . ^ i Do you know what lore is? Von Stroheim DOES and he knows women. And he knows what women who imagine themselves in love do. He shows just how they suppress or demonstrate love. All the peculiar twists and tangles that upset even the proudest women. He depicts this in a background of splendor such as the eye of a camera has not looked upon since first the move ment of human beings were recorded in action. In the Million Dollar Miracle Manuscript of the Screen. Foolish Wives” By and with Erich Von Stroheim THE MAN YOU WILL LOVE TO HATE TO YE OREGON STUDES: Regarding the Productions: When the parting curtain bares the screen for the initial pre sentation of “Foolish Wives,” please remember that for very minute that it is shown thereon more than $6,000 has been spent on its production. But you will forget to think in terms of money as you watch the unfoldment of the drama; gaze in fascination at a world more strange than the customs of a savage land—a world of wealth and wanton folly and fashion’s frivolities; the creed of whose devotees is self-indulgence, whose ambition, the perfect achieve ment of nothing. Without parallel in the world’s history the exotic life of Monte Carlo has created its own atmosphere—an atmosphere possible of screen presentation only by the reproduction down to the smallest detail of the surroundings, the magnificent Casino, the Cafe de Paris, the chateaux and villas, the gardens and the seas; the streets, the cosmopolitan crowds—their types and costumes, their mode of life; the supreme reign of the queenly and glorious women—their intrigues, extravagances and adventures. It is in this manner that more than a million dollars in money —a seeming eternity of strenuous activity on the part of thous ands of people, and nearly two years in actual time, have been spent in the production of “Foolish Wives.’/ Thus, “Foolish Wives” is not only the first real million dollar picture, but, without a doubt, it is the first costly picture that justifies its seeming extravagance. So fine is its artistry that its huge cost will be among the least of the lasting impressions it will make upon you. It has been prepared for your enjoyment. 1 trust that you will enjoy it.
