BARRIE PLAY TO BE AT GUILD THEATRE Alice-Sit-By-The-Fire Will Be Repeated Three Nights Oct. 18, 19, 20 Seldom has a play caused as m«ch favorable comment on the campus as “ Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire,” produced this summer under the direction of Fergus Reddie and having for one of its b it advertisements -Mrs. Leader in the title role. Since comparatively few of the regular students had the opportunity of seeing it, it will be repeated three nights of this week, October 18, 19 and 20, at Guild theater in the Administra- i tion building. The lust play produced during the regular school year was “ I tom bey and Son,” in which Mr. Reddie played the part of the kind hearted, if somewhat rough, Captain Cuttle, and all who saw him in that role will realize that it is a long road to the part of Colonel Grey j which he takes in this production, but Fergus Reddie’s seven league dramatic boots are equal to it. If you want to know just how much you will miss if you do not see it, read a few of these comments by persons who saw the sum mer performance: Miss Uurgess: “I was simply charmed with it—and I sat in the row with the longest and loudest laughers. The whole thing was so delightful and skillful that it is hard to distinguish between the actors. Mrs. Solve did a very finished piece of work on the part, of Amy, and Mrs. Leader was charming, natural, and lovely. I thought that Alfons Korn was a most clever, timorous lad, and Arthur Johnson was especially versatile in interpreting the several aspects of the character of Stephen itollo. Mr. Rod die as Colonel Grey was very strong in the part. Miss Repinen was very good as usual. Katherine Watson identified herself so successfully with the part of Richardson, the Lnglish slavey, that she was unrecognizable. Anyone who fails to go to see “ Alice Bit-Ity-t lie Fire” would be punishing himself.” Colonel Leader: “The best play 1 have ever seen at the University of Ore gon.” Professor Hates: “One of the best per formances Mr. Reddie has ever put on. I saw I he play for the first time and was particularly happy to have had the opportunity.” Miss Watson: “One of the most de light fill things ever produced on tho cnmpuN. A very clever play.” And some by the students of lesser prominence but none the less critics: "An especially good play. The cast seemed to me to be well chosen and the lines were clever.” “Not much to say but that 1 am go ing to see it again.” The entire cast is: Colonel Grey Fergus Reddie Alice Grey Mrs. Lender Stephen Itollo. Arthur Johnson Cosmo.Alfons Korn Ginevra llildegarde Repinen Amy Norma Dobie Solve Richardson Katherine Watson The Nurse Margaret Nelson The Maid Margaret Skuvlnn GIRLS’ GLEE TRYOUTS SCHEDULED FOR TODAY Southern Oregon Trip Plan for Spring; Final Tryouts Are Given Thirteen Men Tryouts l'or the Girls' giro club will bo held this afternoon and every one who van sing is asked to be there. The tryouts will be conducted by John Stark Kraus, director of both glee! clubs, in his studio at 1:15 o'clock. Previous musical training is not re I <|uired and for the lirst tryouts it is not necessary to have a solo since the work will consist of scales for voice placement and range. Solos will be needed, however, for those who make the second tryouts. There arc a few vacancies in each of the voice parts and because of the large amount of material on the campus this year to draw from the old members of the club will be required to try out too. It was decided also this year that old members may be replaced by new ones if they are better. Plans for trips are still more or less in the making but the club is sure i>f, One home concert and possible a tripj through southern Oregon during Spring vacation. This will he the longest trip of the season and shorter ones will he taki it during the year. Thirteen men who are trying out t'oi tile Men's glee club were given their final tryout Monday afternoon but the! personnel of the club will not be an ; pounced until later. Moth glee clubs are members of the vested choir and will sing at the Vesper sen ices which arc held once a mouth in the various churches of Kugene. The date of the first serv ice has not been I definitely decided.

PREXY TO VISIT WHITMAN President Campbell, Dean Dyment Lamar Tooze, Mr. Newell and Profcsso Howe will be among the Oregon rooter at the Oregon-Whitman game to be hel* in Pendleton next Saturday. In addi tion to rooting for the Oregon tean the party will work in the interest ol tire $10,000,000 fund campaign which b now being carried on by the University Talks will be made by members of tlx party at Whitman college, the variou: eastern Oregon high schools and to tlx alumni in that section of the country ALFRED POWERS HAS STORY IN ST. NICHOLAS Ingenius Escape of Maroonec Boy in Lake Described The October Ht. Nicholas carries at its leading story, a tale entitled “Ma rooned in Crater Lake,” written by At fred Powers, director of the Universit) Extension division. “I received the inspiration for m3 story,” says Mr. Powers, “through s visit made to Crater lake in 1916 ir the company of Ben H. Williams, for inerly of the University faculty and al present professor of political science ir the University of Pennsylvania.” “Mr. Williams and I were sitting or a precipice overlooking the lake with a copy of Joaquin Miller’s description of Crater lake, published in the Sou them Pacific folder, and checking this description with the scene before us.’ “Anyone looking at Crater laki would wonder how he could ever gel out should he be marooned on one o1 those beaches so far below us. Y01 will wonder why 1 laid the story in 1910. Did you ever make the discovery ns 1 did, that in 1910 the government changed the postage stamp in denomin ations up to seven, from a picture of Ben Franklin to one of George Wash ington ? That is why, as you will sec when reading the story, that the time was carried back six years to the time of Ben Franklin postage stamps.” The rescue of the boy in Mr. Power’s Story is brought about through his hav ing in his possession a book of out cent postage stamps. The picturo of Ben Franklin on the stamps gives him the idea of making a kite with the usi of the stamps to glue it together, and the board, paper and fishline which he happens to have in his possession. With the kite he attracts the attention of the caretaker at the lodge two thousand feet above him. This is not the first of Mr. Powers’ articles to have been published, as one of his stories, “Hickory Bank,” printed in the Youths Companion some time ago, has been incorporated in the fourth reader now in use in the New York City schools. The editor of the 8t. Nicholas maga zine also asked Mr. Powers for an ar ticle in the near future on “TUo Sky l.ino Trail” which ho hopes to write as soon as his duties as extension director will allow him the time. DANCE Wednesday—Dreamland Bob Stewart's Orchestra When Nature Wont “IN THE NAME OF THE LAW Will Thrill you to your toes EUGENE THEATRE GUILD THEATRE HAS ORCHESTRA Small Orchestras Organized to Be Under Direction of Music Majors The incidental music for Alice-Sit-by-' ' thc-Fire will be supplied by the Guild theater orchestra, an organization form ed by, Director Rex Underwood from his surplus of capable candidates for 'the University orchestra. The number of places in the University orchestra is limited to L’5 and there are few va cancies, so that some arrangement was necessary to take care of the 35 new people who turned out for practice last evening. The idea of a theater orchestra is new and originated through Mr. Under . wood’s being asked last year to supply music for the plays put on by the Uni versity players. The orchestra/is to spe-' I cialize in theater music an 1 special pro grams will be wonted out for each play, except in cases v here the music*is al ready suggested. Since most of the plays are put mi for three nights the orchestra will be divided into three groups, on° for each night, so that the members of the or chestra will not be inconvenienced an! the groups will j iov in tun. Practice for the orchcs.ru will be held once a week from five until six o'clock. Sub stitutes for thj University orchestra v ill be taken from the theater groups in ease of illness, vacancies or unsatis factory work. Mr. Underwood is also organizing smaller orchestras which are to have from ten to twelve members. There will be no tryouts for these groups and everyone who can play any kind of an instrument (ukeleles barred) is asked to join. So that all possible players will DO-NUT SUPPLIES at EUGENE GUN STORE For the Co-ed We want you to buy the OREGON MAID HAIR NET Double ami single mesh, 10c silk Hose S5c, $1.25 and 2.00 A splendid line of handker chiefs.

These small orchestras will be di rected by students majoring in music | supervision who are taking orchestra tion, and they in turn will be under the direction of Mr. Underwood. It is be lieved that since orchestra and public school, especially high school work, so often go together that this will be of special benefit to the students who may have to direct an orchestra at some time or other. The University orchestra will make! its first appearance this year on Pledge day, October 26, when it will play at | assembly.
