OPERA DELIGHTS THEM COEDS Esther Snyker Scores in New Role as Substitute for Leading Soprano The American Light Opera Company, ■which is playing at the Heilig theater this week-end, scored another triumph last night when it played The Mikado to a well-filled house and an audience that liked their work and asked for more. Theo Pennington, prima donna so prano of the company, has been ill for a week, and her place was taken by Esther Snyker, who was to liave sung the part of Peep-Bo. Edith Lumsden substituted for Miss Snyker. Miss Snyker has an exquisite voice; her interpretation of the role of Yum Yum was delightful and left nothing to be desired. She is a resident of Hel ena, Montana, and studied voice in Helena and then spout two years at the Dunbar Opera school in Chicago. Miss Snyker has been with the com pany for over a year. This afternoon /Miss Snyker visited the campus, the journalism shack, the Woman’s build ing, and was given a birds-eye view of the other buildings. The swimming pool in the Woman's building complete ly captivated her, and she was more generous in her praise of Alumni hall. Tenor Voice Is Excellent The role of Nanki-Poo was sung by Harry Pfeil, tenor, to the complete sat isfaction of every one present. His voice is excellent and his acting adds much to the enjoyment of the opera. Ed Andrews, who plays the part of the Lord High Executioner, does it with a drollness which keeps his audience in constant merriment. He never descends to buffoonery, and everything he does has a spontaneity about it that is de lightful. Too much cannott be said of Paula Ayres in the role of Katisha. She acts and sings it with a deftness that is remarkable and the resonance and dep th of her voice will be remembered for a long time. At one minute she soared to high notes, and then caine back again with sureness and eveness, that did not, at any time, waver. Comic Opera on Today This afternoon the company is of fering Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic op era, II. M. S. Pinafore. Pinafore is filled with keen satire and the music is attractive. Briefly the story is of the Captain of the Pinafore, who wants his daughter to marry Sir Joseph Por ter. Josephino is in love with Balpli, a seaman, and it is because of this that her father does not want him to marry her. Various mix-ups occur which final ly are straightened out by Buttercup, who tells them that Ralph and the Captain were exchanged when infants and the ridiculousness of the plot is revealed when the seaman is given com mand of the ship and the Captain mar ries Buttercup. Harry Pfeil is to sing the part of Ralph Rackstraw; Irma Tico will play Buttercup, and the part of Josephine will probably be taken by Mary Peters with Ed Andrews por traying the part of Sir Joseph Porter. Last Play Given Tonight The appearance of the company is to close Saturday night, with the Chimes of Normandy. The story is quite complicated, and is more dra matic than any of the other operas given. Irma Tice wil play Serpolette; Ed Andrews. Gaspard the miser; Carl Bundsehu, the Marquis do Valleroi and Paula Ayres will play Germaine. Miss Ayres and Mr. Andrews have been given especially good notice in the papers commending their interpretation of the roles. Arthur Caylor of the Portland Telegram says of Andrews: “Not only was his acting superb but his voice was full and rich. Although Andrews is a comedian with whom gro tesque antics seem almost inborn, he did the old miser with a serious spirit that was thoroughly fitting.. . Paula Ayres could have gone on singing The Legend of the Bells all night. In the second act the audience seemed to get the idea that she would sing indefinite ly if it applauded long enough, but she cut her listeners short with three en cores.” VARSITY BEATS BEARCATS (Continued from page 008.1 const conference last year, and is con-1 sidered even better this season. Chapman Shows Speed The Oregon quintet seems to be; strictly a five-man team this year, as the use of any of the substitutes seems to destroy teamwork. Zimmerman and Gowans make the best combination in j the forward positions and the speed of both Chapman nad Schafer make them valuable on the offense.

A. C. game is to be played at the armory February 9, the Frosh Glee, which was to have been held there, has been transferred to the Woman’s build ing. Secrecy surrounds the scheme of the decorations, which are to be of black and yellow; but Freda Runes, chairman of the decoration committee, promises that they will be a pleasant and uni que surprise. Jack Meyer’s “Midnite Sons” will furnish the music, and this is expected to be a big drawing card. “The committee is working so well, and the ideas are so original, that the affair can’t help being a success,” said Miss Runes.

The personnel of the committee is as follows: Freda Runes, chairman; An na DeWitt, Paul Krause, Mamie Tur ner, Frances Drinker and Otto Mauthe. OREGON CLUB DEFEATS THETAS IN FAST GAAAE Two Contests Remain Before Big Final Tilt The Theta basketball team suffered its first defeat last night, losing to Oregon club 19 to 15 in a fast and even game. During the first half Oregon club consistently piled up the score which resulted in 14 to 4 at the end of the first half. In a few minutes af >ter the second half had begun the The tas came back stronger and faster and annexed several baskets in quick suc cession. Charlotte Howells, side center for Oregon club, played a brilliant game and was instrumental in getting the ball to her forwards a good share of the time. The Quinlans upheld their reputation in netting baskets and kept their opposing guards continuously on the jump. For the Thetas, Genevieve Phelps held up their end in the for ward field and made several good, ra ther long shots.

Barnes’ stu dents in history will give lectures this i term before their classes on topics of history in which they are especially in terested. The plan of having advanced students prepare lectures to be given during regular class hours has been used by Mr. Barnes in former years and will be adopted again during the pre sent term. The kind of work done by these classes during the fall term made the plan impractical during the first few months of the University year. Mr. Barnes also felt that it would be ad visable to try the students out during the first term’s work in order to de termine the ones best fitted for prepar ing lectures. • About twelve out of the sixty-six students have shown sufficient ability and interest to be entrusted with this work, according to Mr. Barnes. These students may receive help from the in structor in choosing their subjects and preparing their material. The tendency of this plan is to cause more work rather than less on /the part of the instructor, but Mr. Barnes feels that the extra effort is worth while as it gives the student an active interest in the subject. Most of the students who will prepare talks are upperclassmen but a few sophomores showing unusual interest in the subject will probably speak.
