'-“Come Out of the Kitchen” Has
Entangled Situations That
Hold Suspense
LINES ARE HELD AMUSING
Experienced Players Compose
Cast; Coach Keeney Con
fident of Success
With Lorna Coolidge in the leading
role doing the best work she has done
this year, A. E. Thomas’s big success,
‘‘Come Out of the Kitchen,” will be
staged for one performance at the
Heilig theater by Mask and Buskin
tonight. The production has been
coached by Claire Keeney who is con
fident of its success, and the cast is
composed with one or two exceptions of
* well-known Guild hall stars.
The fact that this play has been a
phenomenal success wherever it has
been produced is not an accident, for
the lines are clever, the situations amus
ing, and the interest at top height until
the last moment of the play. Aristo
cratic southern children who have never
done any work of any sort, thrust by
queer circumstances into the positions
•of maid, butlers, and cook, and their
tangled experiences; a very inadequate
poet who finds himself in a closet with
a colored mammy built on rather gener
ous lines; a “Yankee man” who rents
the old family home and finds himself
at a loss how to account for an Irish
cook with English brothers; all these
and many more are the funny incidents
woven into the story of the play.
Guild Favorites Star
Olivia Danger-field, afterward the
cook, Jane Ellen, is a role that will win
every heart with Lorna Coolidge lend
ing to it her charming personality. She
puts an appealing quality in the part
that is as impossible for an audience
to resist as for the many men who in
the course of the play wander into her
attractive kitchen.
Vern Fudge, as the Yankee from the
North, proves to Jane Ellen how much
he cares for Olivia, playing the part
in a very satisfactory fashion. Kath
erine Pinneo is the other one of the
three most outstanding members in the
cast, playing very ably the devoted old
mammy.
The cast includes.Darrel Larsen, Star
Norton, Elizabeth Robinson, Alfred
Myers, Ted Larsen, Virgil Mulkey, and
Ted Baker.
Players Well Coached
Mask and Buskin productions are
looked forward to by campus and town
people alike, since the expert direction
and the experience of the players ad
mit of nothing short of excellence in
the result. Claire Keeney has worked
hard spurring the players to do their
very best and has expressed his belief
in the success of their efforts.
Mask and Buskin is the University of
Oregon chapter of the Associated Uni
versity Players and admits to member
ship those demonstrating their dram
atic ability.
LUNCHEON GIVEN
The first luncheon of a series that has
been planned was given at the Y. M. C.
A. hut yesterday by the ladies circle of
the Fail-mount Congregational church.
The ‘able was set for 30. A charge
of thirty-five cents a plate was made.
The proceeds will go toward a fund
to erect a new church building for the
Farimount Congregationalists.
LEMMY QUOTED
IN BIG COMICS,
OREGON JOKES APPEAR OFTEN
IN JUDGE AND LIRE
Anniversary Number, Out This Month
to Be Printed in New Blue
Tone Process
Oregon’s coneoctors of humor, who
write for Lemon Punch, have lately
been gaining a great deal of recogni
tion from humorous publications all
o\er the country. A glimpse of almost
any one of the leading magazines of
this character discloses a number of
clippings from “Lemmy” equal to that
from any other publication, and in ex
cess of most. Among the magazines
which contained material from it are
such well-known humorous periodicals
as- Judge, Life, The Pelican (Califor
nia), The Sun-Dodger (Washington),
The Goblin (Toronto), and College Hu
mor, published by Collegiate World
Publishing company. In the last nam
ed publication there were several arti-1
eles and a few cartoons which had
appeared in Lemon Punch in one of
this year’s issues. Among those Ore
gon students whose work appeared in
this magazine were “Doc” Braddock,
“Al” Krohn, “Stu” Biles, “Bill” Net
tleship, and Claude Snow.
“Lemmy” has lately been recognized
by the National Advertising associa
tion. The movies have been showing
stuff taken from it in their films of
items from the press.
Due to sickness of “Doc” Braddock,
editor, the Punch will not be out today
as was announced in the Emerald yes
terday. Editor Braddock promises a
new feature in this month’s issue, in
the blue color of the printing, brought
about by the new “Bluetone” process,
which gives the sheet a distinctive a >
pearance. This feature will be in tnis
issue only, to celebrate the third anni
versary of the publication.
JOINT RECITAL WILL BE
IN METHODIST CHURCH
Reid and Seifert of Music Fac
ulty Appear February 29
Ronald Reid, instructor in piano and
John B Siefert, teacher of voice in
the school of music, are preparing a
program for a joint recital to be given
in the Methodist church on Tuesday
evening, February 29.
Mr. Reid will be heard in two
groups, the first of which is composed
of three Chopin numbers, and the
second is a miscellaneous group
containing four numbers by Cyril Scott,
Debussy and Percy Grainger. In addi
tion to being a splendid pianist, Mr.
Reid is very favorably known as an
accompanist, having served the men’s
glee club last season in this capacity.
He will also make the trip with the
club during the spring vacation.
Mr. Siefert will open the program
with a recitative and aria from Han
del’s oratorio, Jeptha. In addition he
will sing songs by Scbuberti, Brahms,
Bernberg, Bleichmann, Liszt, Dvorak,
and Woodman. Two old English songs
and the well known “Ah Moon of My
Delight” from the Persian Garden, Liza
Lehrmann, are also listed as part of
the program. A few press notices are
appended:
“His remarkable voice in the,singing
of his well chosen numbers stirred
the emotions of all who heard him,
winning a place in their hearts, as a
tenor of exceptional merit.”—Eugene
Daily Guard.
“He is a finely educated singer, and
he sings with refinement, good taste

Peevish Pug Pledge Provokes
Gracious Greeks; Given Gate
Exit Pete.
Pete the pestiferous, pugnacious
pledge of the Sigma Nu’s is soon to de
part for other fields and other climes.
Peter the Great, who terrorized-the
canine element of Eugene and vicinity
with his unquenchable desire for battle
is or soon will be on the road to regions
Temote.
Pete will discover new fields to con
quer, new tow-wows to batter and bite
into submission, but they who know
Pete feel that he will give a good ac
count of himself and will exhibit co
pious quantities of tho old Oregon fight.
Pete, in leaving Oregon, leaves many
friends and likewise many enemies. The
students were always glad to see the
bull hound come galloping to greet
them. On the other hand there are
many who did not relish the sight of
the aforesaid canine bouncing toward
them. Most of Eugene’s dogdom will
testify to this. Also Eugene’s citizenry
did not take to Pete.
Pete leaves behind an enviable name
and record. He has broken into print
more perhaps, than a good many prizei
winners with their scads of blue rib
bons. He leaves town with the heavy
weight crown of Eugene's dogdom rest
ing firmly on his pate. He retires the
undefeated champion. Pete didn’t hag
gle over the weight or the purse. He
fought ’em all, any time, any place, as
is shown by his many battles with
Nero, the plaster rat terrior on the
business streets.
Pete was pledged to the Sigma Nu
house in the fall and was an honored
and esteemed member of the frater
nity until popular sentiment got to
work and made it necessary/ that Pete
be deported for the ultimate good of all
other dogs and the peace of mind of
Eugene.
Elaborate cards were printed which
1 announced that “Gamma Zeta of Sig
ma Nu announces the release from
pledge, of Pete.”
So midst weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth, Pete goes away to
the country to forget, just as they do
in the movies or in books.
Good-by Pete.
Methodist Auditorium Chosen
Because Its Acoustic
Qualities Are Better
OTHER CONCERT RECALLED
Tenor Who Sings February 21
Hailed as Leader in
American Opera
Paul Althouse, the noted American
tenor who has been scheduled to sing
here, Wednesday, evening, February 21,
will sing in the Methodist church, in
stead of the University Woman’s build
ing, according to an announcement from
the graduate manager’s office, yester
day. It was decided to hold the concert
in the church auditorium, because of
its better acoustic quality, according to
Boy Bryson, student manager of the
concert.
Interest on the campus has already
bestirred itself with regard to the visit
of the great tenor, according to Bryson.
Many of the University students now
on the campus recall the former concert
given by Althouse, approximately two
years ago, and are looking forward to
his coming visit.
Althouse Also Voice Trainer
According to present day critics,
Paul Althouse is probably America’s
leading operatic tenor today, but in ad
dition to being a great singer, Althouse
is notable also as a voice trainer and
he strongly advocates the practice of
singing for all young people.
Onfc of these days, if Paul Althouse
speaks truly, people will discover that
singing may yield benefits to the sing
er other than those represented in the
coin of the realm.
Mr. Althouse, who has been engaged
to appear here during the present mus
ic season, is one of the few who believes
that our young people miss the possi
bilities of singing. I
“One need not strive to be a second
Melba or Caruso, or even a singer of the
next grade, to justify learning how
to use the voice,” asserted Mr. Alt
house to a New York representative for
this newspaper.
Singing Benefits Health
“The fault with most young Ameri
can boys and girls is their pride. They
feel that they must turn into a mon
etary return whatever time and physi
cal expenditure they put into singing.
This, to my mind, is all wrong. Every
one cannot have a career, or even turn
to music as an avocation. But there
are other compensations from studying
singing, and practicing, than ensue
from a financial source.
“Let us take the matter of health
solely.
“We want our young people to have
sound bodies. We want their lungs to
be strong, and their eyes to be bright,
and their step alert. I know of uo ex
ercise which is more beneficial than
singing for an hour a day—or longer,
if the time is available.
“It is time,” continued Mr. Althouse,
“to appreciate that only the signally
gifted ana most musically intelligent j
can struggle successfully in the face
of the cuinDCtition which exists today, j
Critics Increase Audiences
"But it *f» “re to have singers we
also require audiences to hear them.
What can i>a better than to increase
the numbers who are able to listen cri
tically to wnat is sung, and to approve
or disapprove. a.t the proper moments..
“So, I say; sing; and study singing,
too. But try, you young people to steer
clear of any delusion that it must be
made a life work. Cultivate your voi
ces, but do not seek to follow a path
which is long and difficult to travel—
unless someone wno knows, and who
advises you without prejudice.”
ATTENDANCE ON INCREASE
Extension Division Has 214 More Stu
dents in Winter Enrollment
The fall registration of students en
rolled in the extension department has
surpassed that of any previous term.
There are 982 students compared to 768
of last winter term. The extension de
partment expects before registration is
completed, at least 1,000 will be enroll
ed.
The department thinks increased reg
istration is due to the more thorough
outlines being covered. An effort is be
ing made, according to Dr. Dan E.
Clark, of the extension division, to have
students enroll for a continuous course
throughout the year, and to center on a
particular line, rather than in a more
general way. , *

SIIFFOBD TO GIIIE
FACTS OF RECENT
SCIENTIFIC FINOS
Head of Chemistry Department
to Discuss Public Service
Phase of Field
SLIDES WILL BE SHOWN
Great Economy Results from
Invention of Process
to Save Wood
“Scientific Research and Public Ser
vice” will be the topic of the assembly
address this morning in Villard hall
given bv Professor Grin Stafford, head
of the chemistry department of the
University. The speaker ’s subject re
minds us that he is the discoverer of a
new process for the utilization of waste
wood products which is regarded as one
of the greatest contributions made to
science and to the lumber industry of
tne country in recent years, according
to his contemporaries in the field of
research. In speaking of Professor Staf
ford ’s address, Karl Onthank, secretary
to the president of the University, said
yesterday, “He is one of the best lec
turers on the University staff and is
much in demand as a speaker.”
Professor Stafford has a number of
slides which he will use to illustrate
his lecture. His discussion will con
cern the relation of research in the mod
ern laboratory of science to the public
and its value in the industries of the
country. Because of his own success
ful work in the chemistry laboratory
the students will have an unusual op
portunity to hear the story of scienti
fic research from a man who can tell
it first hand.
Process Perfected Here
After extensive study in the East and
a year of research work in Germany,
Professor Stafford went to Kansas and
spent some time there before coming to
the University. He began his study of
the drj distillation of wood in the East
and has perfected the process which
is based upon his earlier experiments
in the University laboratories.
The announcement of his discovery
that the waste wood materials which
are now so great a loss to lumber mills
financially, may be utilized in the pro
duction of a fine grade of charcoal
which can now be obtained from it as
well as all the other usual by-products,
is-greatly welcomed by the men in the
lumber industry. They may now turn
their waste ^wood materials over at a
profit *to th# wood distillation industry
and the total financial gain will be a
great boon to all mill owners. The sal
vage of waste materials in lumber mills
has long been a problem and this new
method of conservation will permit far
more economy in the entire industry.
Students who contemplate continuing
scientific research after their work in
college is finished are particularly urg
ed to "heai Professor Stafford this morn
ing as the actual experiences of a suc
cessful scientist in their field will point
out to them the importance of their
work. Since inventions in science have
become so related to the industrial
world a need for more men to do re
search work in the laboratories of the
country is being felt, according to those
who come in contact with the results
of inventions either at their source or
in the industries which they affect.
With the increasing demand for im
provements in all methods of manufac
ture it is natural that the profit in
scientific work is increasing and this
as well as the great value of invention
to the public are the inducements which
are offered to science students to con
tinue in their field after graduation.
Industrial Importance Topic
Professor Stafford will dwell on the
idea of public service in his work and
show how each discovery adds to the
sum of industrial knowledge and saves
labor and time in industry, and partic
ularly he will explain the effect of the
investigations which have been comple
ted in the laboratories on the campus
on the industries of the Northwest.
Ronald Reid, an instructor in the Uni
versity school of music, will furnish the
musical program wTitli several piano
solos.
BAND HOLDS SMOKER
The University band gave a get-to
gether smoker at the Y. M. C. A. hut
Tuesday evening in honor of Captain
Lewis who has recently resigned from
the University military staff to enter
the lumber business. In appreciation
of his work, the band presented him
with a silver cigarette case. Special
guests included members of the milit
i ary department, Colonel Sinclair, Cap
tain Arnold and Lieutenant Knowles
Each of the guests spoke to the mem
bers of the band on the usefulness ot
, its work in the support given by it t<

INITIATE STAGES
STUNT AND FAINTS
SENIORS WEAR SOMBREROS INTO
LIBRARY; ONE CARRIED OUT
Ye Tabard Inn Neophytes Will Don
Smocks Before Appearing on Campus
Today; Hoyt and Evans Victims
Using the terminology frequently
' found in scientific works, a freshman
wearing cords and smoking cigarettes,!
j while resting on the senior bench, would ^
be u phenomenon. Two seniors stalk- j
ing into the main reading room of the I
library wearing the class headgear—mas-1
sive sombreros— and asking for a vol
ume of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales
would be a phenomena. The phenomena j
came to pass yesterday evening just after :
the dinner hour.
Good journalism dictates that the most |
striking feature of the story be played
lip in the lead. The interesting phase of!
the story enacted in the library last
night was the fact that one of the sen
iors fainted after receiving Chaucer’s
book and was carried out of the room |
by his companion. Students scattered |
about the room looked and wondered;
librarians scowled and in inaudible tones
asked, “How come”? Twas lib i.nis:
Ye Tabbard Inn of Sigma Upsilon,
national honorary literary fraternity, re
cently. elected to membership Ep Hoyt
and Harold (Gus) Evans. Part of the
initiatory rites was that the neophytes
stroll into the library wearing their som
breros. The throwing of the faint might
have been part of the stunt. Just before
j going to press Hoyt stated he was too
I weak to give out an interview,
j Garbed in the smock of a Bohemian,
; the neophytes today will meander about
[the campus.
I On previous occasions neophytes of Ye
! Tabard Inn staged their initiatory stunt
I in front of the library before the as
sembled campus populace, but it was
found that many of the verbal gems were
wasted on unappreciative ears.
JIINlOfCLASS STARTS
PLANS FOR WEEK-END
Meeting Will Be Held at 4:30
in Villard Hall
Although Junior Week-end is 85 days
away, May 11 and 12, Jimmie Meek,
president of the class of ’24, and the
class officers have been working this
week on committee appointments,
which will be announced in a junior
meeting at 4:30 today in Villard hall.
A complete list of members of all
committees from the general chairman
down is being prepared, according, to
President Meek, who urges every mem
ber of the class to be present at the
meeting.
That the week-end program will bo
two days instead of three was definitely
announced yesterday, the earlier an
nouncement of a possible three-day fes
tival being labled as “premature” and
made without any particular consider
ation of the matter.
Work will begin at once on the pub
licity for the week-end and details of
the program. New features, in so far
as they are practical, arc planned to
make the program interesting. One im
portant change which will be put into
effect is the scheduling of the junior
“Vod-Vil” in place of the usual play,
according to advance announcements, j
SWIMMERS ON VARSITY
PRACTICE FOR MEETS
Team Will Meet O. A. C. on March 9
and April 13; Coach Barnes Urges
More Men to Turn Out
With two meets with O. A. C. ap
proaching, the varsity swimming team
under the direction of coach Jerry
Barnes is practicing every night except
‘ Monday from 5 to 5:45 in the tank in
! the men’s gym. The first meet comes
| March 9 at Corvallis, and the second
i is to take place April 13 in the local
pool.
Coach Barnes has some good men in
the sprints, distance events, and breast
,stroke, but is bewailing the lack of
material for the backstroke, plunging,
1 and diving. Men who are good at these
* events have an excellent chance of
| making the team.
I Men who are turning out now are
Captain Palmer, Hockett and Page in
the sprints, Horsefall and Horton in
j the distance event, Littlefield and Bu
| chanan in the breast stroke. For the
' backstroke Yoran and Saunders are
! practicing. Plungers are Horton and
I Rankin, while Enke, Angell and Wolfe
are out for the diving event.
Coach Barnes has no information
i about the Aggie team, but expects stiff
j competition in the coming events.
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
I At the Kappa Sigma house last night
Donald Fraser of Ashland announced
his engagement to Miss Marjorie Me
Elvaney of Ashland. Fraser, who is a
| sophomore in geology, is a member of
Theta Xi fraternity, at Stanford. He
I and Miss McElvaney were schoolmates
i in Ashland high school.
SPRING BASEMLL
PROSPECTS EDOD:
WORK TO STMT
Majority of Lettermen Back;
Gray and Leslie Will Be
Missed in Line-Up
PITCHING IS FEARED WEAK
Batting Cage Will Be Used
Next Week; Field Work If
Weather Is Good
3y A1 Trackman
“In the spring, a young man’s fancy
lightly turns to—” Baseball, of course!
Coach Bohler has taken clown the mats,
protectors, gloves, and other baseball par
aphernalia and begun to shako the dust
from them after yesterday’s first sample
of spring weather.
Baseball training activities will start
next week, when the varsity men, and
perhaps a few of the prospective frosh,
will begin workouts in the new batting
cage which has been built on one end of
the grand-stand in Hayward field. If
good weather prevails for the next few
days and the field dries- out, it is possible
that field practice will take place. How
ever, no intensive training will be un
dertaken until next quarter, when the
weather will be more settled and the
men that are eligible definitely known.
Of last year’s varsity, there are about
twelve lettermen who will be here to an
swer the call this quarter. Aside from
those, there are about a dozen from the
last year’s frosh team. Almost all of
the men, however, are good hitters.
Frosh in Lineup
The real shortcoming of the varsity
this year will be in pitchers. Because
of this, the hope for strength will not
lie so much in the pitching, but in the
hitting and fielding; both of which is
good, says Coach Bohler. Itollo Gray,
last year’s pitcher, is not here this quar
ter, and probably will not be back for
the spring quarter. The prospective
twirlers for this season are Douglas
Wright, Phil Ringle, Lefty Baldwin and
Bill Collins. Hunk Latham may also be
worked in as pitcher. Others who will
probably try for the pitcher’s box are:
Brooks, former frosh pitcher and out
fielder; Branaman, former frosh pitcher,
and Parks and Skinner, both pitchers and
also last year’s frosh.
On the whole, however, the baseball
prospects look good, considering the fol
lowing list of lettermen and their years
of experience who will be available:
Outfielders; Zimmerman, two years; Roy
croft, one year; and Sorsby, one.
Catcher: Ward Johnson, one year. In
fielders: Jimmy Ross, one; Phil Ringle,
one; Hunk Latham, one; Carl Svaverud,
one; Terry Johnson, one. Pitchers:
Douglas Wright, one; “Lefty” Baldwin,
one; and Bill Collins, two years.
“Spike” Leslie, varsity catcher, and
(! ray a re gone.
Prom last year’s frosh team are:
Vester, short; Cook and Orr, catchers;
Sullivan, 2b; Young, 3b; Troutman, 3b;
Brooks, pitcher and outfielder; Brana
man and Skinner, pitchers.
Heavy Schedule Arranged
Quito a li^avy schedule has been ar
ranged for the team by Graduate Mana
ger Jack Benefiel. A total of 16 games
have been lined up, six of which are to
be played on the homo campus. The first
games will be played hero on April 23
and 24, against Idaho. The schedule is
as follows:
April 23 Idaho at Eugene
April 24 Idaho at Eugene.
May 11 O. A. C. at Corvallis
May 12 O. A. C. at Corvallis
May 14 W. S. C. at Eugene
May 15 W. S. C. at Eugene
May 18 O. A. C. at Eugene
May 19 O. A. C. at Eugene
May 21 U. of W. at Seattle
May 22 U. of W. at Seattle
May 23 W. S. C. at Pullman
May 24 W. S. C. at Pullamn
May 25 Idaho at Moscow
May 26 Idaho at Moscow
May 28 Whitman at Walla Walla
May 29 Whitman at Walla Walla
How the frosh team will stand, will not
be known until all have turned out, and
the material assembled. Three of the
frosh, however, are known to be roal
ball players. They are Hobson, Slade
and Carsons. Last season Portland tried
‘o sign Slade for the coast league, but
he refused.
