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.”

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.

_
Affair to Be Held in Woman’s Building
Instead of Armory as Planned;
O. A. C. Visitors Invited
Owing to the fact that the Oregon- j
O. 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.
A special invitation is to be issued
to the O. A. C. visitors in the city for
the week-end.
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.
Two games yet remain to be played
off before the final game can be sched
uled to determine the champions of
leauge 2. At 2 o’clock today, the Kap
pas will play Oregon club and Monday
the Thetas will play the Kappas. Four
teams, Alpha Phi, Kappa, Theta and
Oregon Club, are on record as having
only one defeat. Class basketball prac
tice will begin Alonday afternoon, and
all girls interested in class work are
urged to come out.

ADVANCED STUDENTS TO
LECTURE IN HISTORY
Special Topics Will Be Discussed in
Professor Barnes’ Classes;
Plan Formerly Adopted
'A number of Walter C. 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.

neglect their studies in order to earn
the necessary money, or resort to the
other expedient of dropping out of
school every now and then to replen

many would be forced to give up their
college education entirely. Others state
that as it is they' are compelled to drag
out their college course over many
years due to lack of funds with the
result that they are not in position to

after they have, in a measure, lost
several of the best and most productive
years of their lives. “It would cut
