Some of the players are fast and have had con siderable experience in the sport of the boxed court, so that some thrilling matches are in promise.

RETURN OF SPIRIT OF PLAY IS IDEAL (Continued from page one) of true dramatic representation as ! found in the old, old, ballads and primitive, middle and modern plays.” Stuart Walker is not only a play wright and poet, but he is a practical man of the theatre, and Stuart Wal ker, the practical man, has been able to realize and quicken into life the dreams of Stuart Walker, the dream er. Ilis interest iu the theatre began as a small boy in Covington, Ky. His father bought him a toy theatre and he gave performances for the neighborhood children. Later at col lege, Mr. Walker was director' and : actor in any number of amateur j productions from Shakespeare to lb- 1 sen. After being graduated he went into the lumber business, but this proved entirely too prosaic an enter prise, so he went to New York, sub sequently becoming general stage director and plav-reader for David Belasco. He resigned his position with Mr. Belasco after six years in order to exercise, without restraint, his own ideas of imaginative play production. He had an idea that mystery, and youth, nud romance, had been lost in the American theatre and that, the reason was that there was too much of gTim realism in it. He lectured ou the imaginative staging of plays for a time after leaving Mr. Belasco and it was about this time that the idea of the Portmanteau Theatre was evolved. GRAD HAS LEAD IN PLAY Janet Young Appears at Portland in “Mr. Pirn Passes By” Janet Young, graduate of ’14, is playing the lead in “Mr. Pirn: Passes By,” in Portland this week. She is with the Moroni Olsen players. Mr. Olsen, the director and | head of this company is a noted j actor who played opposite Margeret Anglin in New York for several years. Miss Young majored in the! dramatic department when she was j here. After she graduated she i played with the Baker Stock com-1 pany in Portland for some time, j Later she went into Chatuaqua, playing with Ellison-White in the United States, Canada, Australia and New' Zealand. For several years she was head of her town companies in the Chnutaqua. She played at the Salt Lake Social Hall theatre for a season and wont from there to New York, where she was leading lady for Maurice Browne. For the last two years she ,has been holding a responsible posi tion with the Swarthmore Cliatau qua at Swarthmore, Pennsvt "inia as assistant business manager. Last summer she played an important! part in the organization of the Moroni Olsen players, who are in Portland now. At the Theatres o----*• HEX At the Bex theatre last evening , the writer was given an opportunity to pass judgment on the screen version of the Hutchinson story “If Winter Comes,” which M illiam Pox has produced, under the di rection of Harry Millarde. The verdict was overwhelmingly in favor of the picture. Headers of I book were delighted to find that the qualities which had made it such a popular success were all in cluded in the screen version. From the skilful handling of the scenery to the selection of the members of the excellent cast and the shooting, , titling and cutting of the film each , step in putting the novel into pic j ture form is marked by a fine s artistic sense and strict fidelity to the famous story. CASTLE Booth Tarkington, famous Ameri can author, who wrote “Boy of Mine,” the First National picture now showing at the Castle theatre, playing today and Wednesday, has I written Producer .1. K. McDonald to the effect that he believes it to ] bo tho best film yet based on one of his stories. Tarkington took a personal interest in the production, assisting in casting and titling of the picture. COLLEGES MM Emerald Receives Outline From California PLAN HAS POSSIBILITIES Ideas Can be Broadened by Interchanging Views The organization of an inter collegiate correspondence staff is the plan outlined in a letter re ceived recently by the Emerald from the Daily Californian, the student publication of the Univer sity of California. The purpose of the movement is to make possible the interchanging of ideas and opinions on current student problems and movements. College papers which are listed as members of the system will ex change articles on important camp us topics. Sample subjects which might be of interest in this line are: honor spirit, campus theaters, stadiums, student union buildings and dramatics. Drives Are Assisted “Exchange of stories on these and similar subjects would assist in the campus drives, broaden the scope of the paper, and furnish readers of the campus daily with viewpoints of other universities, which might prove of constructive help in the reorganization of old activities and stimulate new ones,” states the letter, which is signed by Helen Duprey, feature editor of the Californian. Norborno _ Berkeley, exchange editor of the Emerald, says that | the plan has great possibilities if the various college papers and the students they represent will take an interest in the exchanges. Sign ed article -are to be sent out to other papers, and in this wTay stu dents may become “I. N. S. cor respondents” on a small scale. An article may be written by a stu dent of Oregon giving his opinion on a certain subject. By means of this exchange system, the article might be printed in a California I paper and 'a student from there ; might answer the article, based on j his experiences in that school. This feature will be valuable in giving students broader ideas and better understanding of problems of the other campus. Staff is Separate The gift campaign in the rusar future and the plan for a student union building on the Oregon campus will benefit by the pro posed exchange system. The new intercollegiate staff will be entirely separate from the pre sent Pacific Intercollegiate News Service. In the past only news stories have been exchanged, but the new organization will make possible the exchange of many articles on important topics, in cluding proposed changes and suc cessful plans. LUTHERN STUDENTS MAY ORGANIZE CLUB Work is Promoted by 'Rev. C. P. Harry Who Was Recent Visitor on the Campus A meeting of the committee on the establishment of a Lutheran students’ organization on the camp us will be held at the campus Y. M. C. A. next Wednesday to formu late plans for such an organization. It is planned to call a meeting of all Lutheran students in the Uni versity in the near future. These plans for a Lutheran club on the campus are the results of a visit made to the University re cently by Rev. C. P. Harry, of Philadelphia, who has been inter ested in the organizing of Lutheran college students throughout the United States. At the time of his recent visit to the campus, he visited the other, state institutions ■ of the northwest and was suecess ' ful in organizing student organiza t tions at O. A. C., Washington, Washington State and Idaho. These organizations are small in compari son with those at Pennsylvania State college, the University of iMinnesota and the University of Wisconsin, where there are several hundred Lutheran students and Ernest Henrikson, chairman; Camil where the clubs are very strong. The local committee consists of Ernst Hendrikson, chairman; Camil la Anderson, Esther Christensen and Jalmar Johnson. I WALKS ARE COMMENDED Thoroughfares on Campus Receive Heavy Gravel Surface Some one has observed the slip pings and siblings'of the Univer sity and high school students who traverse the walks around the Edu cation building and University high school and has taken pity. These said students returned this term to find the old, damp narrow walks all replaced with brand new wide ones. Much rejoicing was done. The same person or some one as kind also has beautified the grounds around the two buildings by planting new shrubbery at cor ners and near the fralks. It appears that pity was also taken on the muddy boots that come from Kincaicl street, as new gravel walks have been started there.
