ROSE HEREIN PRAISES OPERA “Hour Hand” Said to be Full of Pep and Sparkle QUAINT DIALOGUE USED Member of Music Faculty Finds Human Appeal “The opera is full of youth, sparkle, and pep,” said Madame Bose McGrow, of the school of music, in speaking of “The Hour Hand,” which is to be presented tomorrow night at the Heilig theater by school of music students. “Mrs. Beck, the composer, has been exceptionally interesting and original with her theme and has clung closely to the ’ characteristic traditional music of the country,” continued Madame McGrow. The dialogue easily exemplifies the the quaint and old-fashioned speech of the Swiss people and the situa tions are plain, true and homely as found in any Alpine village. Patriotism Shown The characters are true to life, especially the old clockmaker whose prominence in the vilage is very characteristic of Switzerand. One of the difficult situations in the opera is the strugglo of the young nobleman between Switzerland, the country of his birth, and Austria, his mother’s country. Ilis wish for power and love of money, as well as his desire for tho respect of the Swiss people, at last leads to intrigue which causes keen sus pense throughout the performance and is solved only at the close. “Mrs. Beck has done a splendid thing for us,” said Madamo Mc Grow, “for sh0 has brought the lives of the Swiss people so closo to us. Few pcoplo know very much of Switzerland except what they have read in books, and by putting it on tho stage she has made the human appeal so strong that tho many ideals and character istics are easily understood by the audience.” Madame McGrew Assisting Madame McGrew, who is the stage director for “Tho Hour Hand,” sang tho lead in “Los Benz des Vasclios,” a heavy and wonderful Swiss opera produced in Germany several years ago. The same opera was rocently produced by tho Metropolitan Opera com pany. Tod Gillcnwators, manager, an nounced Jate yesterday that tho tickets are selling fast. All seats must bo reserved. The box office is now open, so for any one who has not already reserved his seat it is very important that he do so .at oneo.

Eastern Paper Publishes Story from Emerald Blind Golf Player is Subject of Item Arounl the country and back again—or the tale of a news story which did not die the day it was printed. On November 24 of last year, the Emerald carried the story of Edward Bobbins, blind journalism major, who is making an attempt to learn to play golf. A few days ago comes a clip ping from the Philadelphia Ameri can, sent by the Lawrence clip ping bureau of Pennsylvania, in which the story is reprinted in somewhat abbreviated form. The story in the eastern news paper says in part: “Edward Bobbins, blind stu dent of the school of journalism of the University *of Oregon, bo Upvcs that if .Too Kirkwood and Chick Evans can hit ’em while blindfolded, there is no reason why ho should not become a golfer.” The story goes on to explain the method used by Bobbins in playing the game.

At the Theatres I REX Ono of the most fascinating and entertaining stories which we have ever seen is on view for last times today at the Rex theater. It is “ The Song of Love,” starring the mag netic Norma Talmadge, and it would | be difficult to visualize a role more; fitting for tho star. It is one of the j finest and most artistic perform-! ances to her credit. Miss Talmadge plays the part of an Arabian dancing girl who be- j comes the center of devious intrigues and conspiracies. Joseph Schildkraut, one of the sensations of the Broadway stage, is Miss Talmadgo’s leading man. “The Song of Love” was adapted from Margaret Peterson’s novel, “Dust of Desire,” was directed by Chester Franklin and Francis Marion. In its presentation* of this newest Norma Talmadge production, the Rex has arranged a colorful Arabian pro logue in which Johanna James, so prano supreme, is heard in a dram- j atic rendition of “For All Eternity.” Special stage settings and har monious lighting effects form a strik ing background for this newest Rex specialty, which precedes tho show ing of the picture at 7:20 and 9:20 p. m. again tonight. CASTLE One of the most delicious come dies which it has ever been our pleas ure to see is on view at the Castle theater today, Thursday and Friday. , Tt is “Painted People,” a First Na tional picture featuring Colleen Emery Insurance Agency Representative for OREGON FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION 37 9th Avenue West Phone 667 Moore, the little star who created a sensation throughout the country through her impersonation of the thrill-seeking flapper in “Flaming Youth.” “Painted People,” which is based on Richard Connell’s Collier’s Week ly story, “The Swamp Angel,” deals with the adventures of a boy and a girl who are entranced by the vis ions of “high life” afforded them by the residents living on the “other side of the tracks” in their town, and who deliberately set out to gain admission to the sacred precincts. BACHELORDON DEFEATS BETA HANDBALL TEAM Hard-played Contest Was Well Matched; Phi Psi is Also Victorious in Tilt Tn a very evenly contested match, the P>aehelordon handball team was victorious over the Beta Theta Pi combination, by a score of 21-14, 21-15. The winning aggregation was made up by Patterson and Garner, while playing on the Beta team were Beatie and Westergren. The game was hard-played throughout, but due to superior team work and a well timed drive, the Bachelordon pair emerged victors in both tilts. It was a contest between two looming cham pionship contenders, in which team work, reserve, and speed, were the de ciding factors. Having won from the fast Beta team, the Bachelordon aggregation will probably remain leaders in their league for the re mainder of the tournament. Tn the contest between the Phi Kappa Psi team, made up with Hunt and Cook, and the Phi Sigma Pi re-1 presentatives, Lawler and Trow bridge, the Phi Psi were victorious "classified aps^ I Mifiimum charsre, 1 time, 25c: 2 tiroes, I 1 45c: 3 times, 60c: 1 week, $1.20.
