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.
FROSH GLEE WILL BE
BRILLIANT OCCASION
Original Features Are Promised
by Chairman; Decorations
Are Kept Secret
“The Frosh Glee is to be held this
Friday night in the armory. Uni-1
vorsity students arc urged to make |

brilliant event of the winter term,”
said Bobert Love, chairman of the
affair, when interviewed yesterday.
“Tho decorative committee is work
ing overtime to make tho old hall1
into a new place. Our features are
absolutely original and in keeping
with the spirit of the affair. The
music will be so arranged as to give
the greatest possible volume, and the
floor will be in such a condition as
to make dancing nearly effortless.”
The Freshmen resolutely refuse to
divulge the nature of their decora
tions, and only reiterate that they
will be worth seeing.

appointed chairman of the committee
to secure patrons, has withdrawn from
school, and his place has been filled

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.

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
