MED FDD IV 91 Austro - Swiss Atmospheric Drama Will Be Offered By Mrs. A. L. Beck The cast has been chosen and rehear sals are well on their way for the Swiss folk opera “The Hour Hand,” written by Anna Landsbury Beck, to be pre sented at the Heilig theatre May 31. Most of the cast has been selected from students in the school of music. The characters in the play are for the large part simple Swiss peasants and village folk. The plot of the story centers around village life in the pro-1 vince of Berne. The songs, the dances | and the sports introduced in the opera subscribe to the plot as well as provide j atmosphere. For intensity, there’s a secret intrigue with Austria with spies and plots worthy of the darkest “drammer.” The songs sung are about cheeses and wine and cows and one about clocks by the old clock maker, who sings it in pendulum rhythm as he works, and philosophizes. The clock-makers play an important part in the develop-; ment of the theme of the opera. The cast which has been chosen is as follows: Zwing Radbod, a cow herd who sweeps' the clock shop in winter. . Charles Dawson Gertrude Gehrhardt, who serves the guests at the tavern . . Bernice Altstock Albrecht Furst, apprentice to the master clock-maker .... Wayne Akers Landoldt von Brune, the bailiff, known as the jovial tyrant . . Robert MeKnight Heinrich, an Austrian spy . . Alfred Myers Peter and Theodore, Austrian mes sengers . . Dale Cooley and Russell Brown Nicholas Keller, the master clock maker .! Aubrey Furry Frieda Keller, his daughter . . Florence Garrett Arnold Erlach, owner of a herd .... . Arthur Johnson Frau Kessler, tavern keeper . . Maxine Buren Frederick, cow herd .... Wilbur Phillips Reginald Montague, a traveler from England . Curtis Phillips Village maids and swains. BERNICE YEO GIVES EXCELLENT RECITAL Pianist is Assisted by Joanna James, Soprano, in Varied Program which Is Well Presented Bernice Yeo, pianist, assisted by Joanna James, soprano, gave a most delightful recital last night, in alumni hall of the Woman’s building. Miss Yeo opened her program with two Liszt etudes, which were especial ly well given, and were played with marked contrast. For the second number of the pro gram, Miss James gave “Alone in Love’s Garden,” Hfewitt, which seemed particularly suited to her voice. “Romance,” Sibelius, and “Valse de Concert,” Moskowski, were given by Miss Yeo as the third groups of the program, and she completed the pro gram with three Chopin numbers, “Noc turne in F Major,” “Butterfly Etude,” and “Ballade in A Flat.” The Chopin numbers, of varying modes, were in terpreted in a way that proved Miss Yeo a musician of great promise. The Moskowski and Sibelius numbers are of a lighter nautre, and made the splen did presentation of the rest of Miss Yeo’s program more marked.

STUDENTS TO ELECT FOR 1923-24 TODAY (Continued from page one.-) of battle. Oregon students in the past have always supported the winners, and we, as members of the Greater Ore gon, will certainly do likewise. It is the belief of the few veteran campus politicians that the campaign just terminated has been one of the cleanest ever held on the campus. It is believed that students are realizing more each year that the best person should be elected to office, and the fre quent question, Who is the better man has been advanced as a proof that the members of the A. S. IT. O. are earnest in their endeavor to elect the best-fit ted students 'to offices. No electioneering will be tolerated in Villard hall, near any of the * en trances to that building, or within 100 feet of the hall, according to Dick Sun leleaf, chairman of the election board. Persons who have been named to assist in supervising the balloting have been notified by Sundeleaf that a time sche dule will be posted on the first floor of Villard this morning and the officials are requested to make certain what hours they will be on duty. Ballot coun ters are asked to report in Villard hall at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Sunde leaf has also stressed the importance of being careful in marking ballots. After 3 o’clock this afternoon, elec tion returns will be posted in Villard every hour. I No information will be given out between hours. All technical details of the balloting have been worked out, and Sundeleaf reports his machine is in readiness for a busy day. Students are asked to cooperate by voting early. TWENTY-NINE SENIORS PLEDGE DURING WEEK Total of 65 Have Signed Cards for the Payment of Ten Dollars Each Year for Ten Years Twenty-nine seniors turned in pledge cards, calling for payment of ten dol lars a year for ten years to a student union fund, during the past week. This is more than twice as many as have res ponded in any other week since the class went on record as favoring the project. Sixty-five seniors have res ponded to date, according to records on file at the office of Lamar Tooze, field director of the ten millioii dollar gift campaign. The renewed interest shown in tjie movement, by seniors during the past seven days is taken as proof by Mr. Tooze and officers of the class that the class will sign up one hundred per cent strong before the term ends. Following are members of the class who turned in their pledge cards since last Wednesday: Charlotte Howells, Jean A. Mitchell, Ivan B. McKinney, Irving Curtis Hun tington, Leonard B. Jordan, Harold B. Gourley, Bae M. Bowles, Vernon E. Bul lock, Paul L. Patterson, Leona Greog ory, Harriet Hudson, Bernice Altstoek, Alta B. Landon, Ruby D. Baugh, Al bert M.

WARNER Oriental Art Collection in Woman’s Building Lends Color to Reception A visit to the summer palace in China in the company of a Manchu ‘princess, former lady in waiting to the empress dowager but now the wife of an Ameri can, was only one of the interesting ex periences told by Mrs. Murray Warner as she entertained a group of art students and instructors in the museum yesterday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. The; museum, on the third floor of the j Woman ’sb uuilding, was an appropriate setting, filled as it is with the Warner1 collection of oriental art, which was pro nounced the finest in the west by Mrs. I.uoy Dodd Rambgrg on her last trip to the cutnjus. Conditions in China show the unrest of other countries of the world following the war, is Mrs. Warner’s opinion, as well as that of friends of Mrs. War ner’s in government circles in Pekin, said that traveling was no more danger ous there, on the whole, than in this country, and that she went everywhere alone. As she served chocolate to the stu dents she graciously answered all ques tions about museum pieces.
