I IDEAL HUSBAND' ID BE TONIGHT Play Second Presented by Campus Dramatic Group Since Opening of Term COMEDY WORK OF WILDE Darrel! Larsen and Gerda Brown Take Leads; Three Performances Arranged Darrell Larsen, as Lord Goring, and Gerda Brown, as Mrs. Cheve ley, tal<e the leading parts in the Oscar Wilde play, “The Ideal Hus band” which opens tonight at Guild theatre for a run of three days. This is the second play pro duced during the winter term by the University dramatic company. Florence Couch, who had the lead in “Yellow Candle Light,” the last play given, assumes the role of Mabel Ohiltern, a very sweet, mod ern young lady who falls in love with Lord Goring. Paul Krausse has the characterization of Lord Oaversham, father to Lord Goring, who is most anxious to see' his seemingly flighty son' married to a steady, level-headed girl. Lady Markby, played by Beatrice Boeby, is a dowager to whom the author has seen fit to invest many of the cleverest lines of the play. Jeanne Gay Mas ±irst ±toie Jeanne Gav, a newcomer at. Guild theatre, has as her first role, the part of Mrs. Marehmont who, with Lady Basildon, played by Margaret Booth, feels that she is forever mis understood and unappreciated by her husband. Delbert Faust plays the part of the French diplomatist, Vicomte de Nanjae. Terva Hubbard as Sir Robert Chiltern and Claire Gibson as his wife, Lady Chiltern, are the two around whom all of the action of the play centers. Sparkling Wit Merit The greatest merit of “The Ideal Husband” lies in the sparkling wit and humor, for Oscar Wilde is, af ter all, among the very best of mod ern British humorists. The plot is of course, subservient to the lines but the comedy, while thoughtful is not of the highly intellectual ol der. “The Ideal Husband” is tin type of play by which Soutro Milne, and Lonsdale have been in financed. The germ of the new sov I of English comedy originating fron Wilde. OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL CLUB TO MEET TONIGHi The Oregon Normal school clu1 will hold a business meeting tn night, at 7:15, in the Y. W. C. A bungalow. Flans for the socia meeting will be discussed, and coir mittees appointed. The club hold a social meeting every two weeks Feathered Sage Heard From Tower Of Old Villard Wisdom in its feathered form ' has found haven at this insti tution. Surely, no more appro priate setting than the venerable shelter of Oregon could be found | for this messenger of discreet j erudition. And the tale is this: A dark night, a knight of learn- j ing stumbling homeward in the j misty fog of Oregon night. “Wh—o—oo. Wh—oo—oo—o!” ' And the seeker of knowledge ! clutched his voluminous note- j 'book, and uttered not an answer- I ing cry. “Wh—oo—oo. Wh—oo—oo.” “What’s that.’” The shaky tones had lost, their masculine confidence. “Who—o—o” answer ed him again. And it came to pass that an owl has established j headquarters in Villard hall. TRIANGLE DEBATERS ID MEET THURSDAY Idaho and Washington Send Competing Teams Tomorrow night the University of Oregon debate teams will meet the University of Washington and the University of Idaho in a tri angle debate. This event is the largest and most important one of the season for Oregon, states Os car U. Brown, debate coach. Sol Abramson and Lincoln Erwin, the negative group, left today for Seattle, to uphold their case against the Washington affirmative Thurs day night. I HP arrirmauve team consisi ing i of Benoit McCroslty ancl Ralph Bai ley will meet the Idaho negative group in Villard hall at 8 o’clock. The question for discussion is, Resolved: “That the constitution I should be so amended to enable Congress to re-enact by a two thirds vote, legislation overruled by the Supreme Court.” The popularity of this subject is evidenced by the fact that it has been used many times this year by ; debating teams of various colleges throughout the country. It is also ! pertinent politics, even, at the pres ent time. The topic is potentially the same as the one discussed in the O. A. C. debate in January. It lias, how ever, been entirely worked over and several improvements made. ACTIVITY AWARD DAYS WILL BE INAUGURATED Roy Bryson and Ted Gillenwaters have been appointed by Randall .Tones, president of the student body, to investigate the presenting of awards for student activities. Under their consideration will ' come the inauguration of award ) days for athletes and those parti - capating in forensics to receive . their awards, immediately upon the I close of the respective seasons, so - as not to be held over for a term 3 or more, as has previously been the . case. PIANISTS DELIGHT AUDIENCE WITH HARMONY OF ENSEMBLE (By Emily Houstont A perfect ensemble and a delight ful spontaneity marked the playing of the dual pianists, Guy Maier and Lee Pattison when they appeared last night in a program presented at the Woman’s building. The tonal effects were excellent show ing perfect control with little ef fort. The interpretation on the two pianos was so perfect, in har mony and rhythm that neither in strument could be distinguished. '‘Pause Macabre” by | Raint R&ens was perhaps the most en thusiastically received but others bringing rounds of applause were the ‘Scherzo.” Op. 37 by Raini Raens and the “Afternoon of a Faun” by Pebussv. The Andante and Variations by Rehumann showed the soft tonal effects with a delicate yet firm touch. Compositions of the artists them selves, the “Wedding Waltzes” from “The Veil of Pierette” by * Pohnanyi and Maier and the “Land of Bye and Bye” and the arrangement of “Arkansaw Travel ler” by Pattison were pleasing. A delightful interpretation was giv en of some of the Mother Goose rhymes including “Sleeping Beau ty,” the Chinese Empress and “Beauty and the Beast.” The story as it was interpreted was told in a few sentences by Mr. Maier be fore the interpretation enabling the audience to form a complete picture of the story. The last two numbers were “Spanish Rhapsody” by Chabriei and a Hungarian March. Each wa< an excellent interpretation of th( music of the country and weri pleasing in the staccato effects ai^ rhythmic runs. The two artists are probably tin first to study together and mak a specialty of dual piano playing Thev present some of the best oh music and have been the instiga tion for some excellent modern mi sic for two pianos.

LAWRENCE. <t>-- 1—*1 One-act Musical Comedy Scheduled for May 8. 9:; Title, Authors not Given DATE SET FOR TRY-OUTS Qualifications Are Listed for Those Desiring Part in Acts: Judges to Be Named I Tlio one-act musical comedy j which will be presented for Junior 1 Vod-Vil, May 8 and 9, 1ms been ; written, according to an announce- i ment made Tuesday by Paul Kraus se, Vod-Vil chairman.

The announcement of the schedule i will be made within a short time, j and any one enrolled in the Univer- | sity who has some talent is asked i to take part in the try-outs. Good Looks Unnecessary “Good looks aren’t necessary, but good acting will count,” Krausse said yesterday. “There are some excellent character parts in the mu ! sical comedy.” The exact nature of the try-outs have not been determined yet, but aspirants will probably be given a popular song to sing, or possibly j only a few measures. Others will ; have to read, and the lines may be selected from the musical comedy. ! For those who are presenting acts, no costumes will be required. It is not necessary to have the parts learned, but must have the idea of the act well in mind. Five Acts Submitted Kate Pinneo, who is on the cam pus this term, will probably carry the heavy comedian role in the mu sical comedy. Miss Pinneo, whose ability as a comedian has been shown in various campus produc tions both last year and the pre vious year, was selected because of the success with which she has car ried roles similar to the one in the 1 , musical comedy. . Up to the present time, about five acts have been submitted to ’ Krausse, but others may be turned in any time before the try-outs. Two members of the junior class, possibly majors in dramatics, will be chosen to serve as judges in ad 1 dition to Krausse, will be an ’ nounced soon, s i _ F. S.

NEW EXHIBIT TO OPEN TODAY IN SOT GALLERY Etchings and Water-colors Shown in Portland Lithographs, etchings and water colors by Childe Hassam ami Jos eph Pennell will be exhibited today in the art gallery of the Pine Arts building. The collection (of over a hundred pictures arrived' after an extended stay in Portland, where they caused much comment in art circles, and where several of the etchings were sold to enthusiasts. The two artists are widely known throughout the country and are ranked with our foremost* painters. Childe Hassam is famous especially for his water-colors, but he con tributed nothing but his etchings and lithographs to this collection. Joseph Pennell on the other hand is a splendid etcher, but only his water-colors are shown. The etchings in the collection are interesting because they are shown first as original drawings I for etchings and then as tile finished product. A great many portraits of women and girls are included in these. The water colors by Pennell are largely landscapes and V marine views. Mr. Pennell made the sketch es on his travels in Europe, South America, and the United States, and some of the scenes may prove fa miliar to persons who have visited these places. The exhibit will remain here foi ‘several weeks and will be followed by another one later. I. I !

A. 0. aggregation next Saturday afternoon in the men’s gymnasium, j Although the varsity scored a win over tlie Idaho grapplers, Coach Widmer does not know how his men will rate against an experienced squad. Robin Reed, Aggie mentor, has three letter men around whom lie is building his team. Russell, 125 pounds, Captain Nixon, 135 pounds, and Selfridge in the 145 division are all experienced men. Self ridge holds the Pacific-Northwest i title at 145 pounds. Ford to Battle Russell la the Vandal meet the varsity | wrestlers showed considerable im provement over last. year. Ford in the 125 class is a lettorman and will “lock horns” with Russell, of O. A. C., who defeated the local man last year. Russell is depending on I tmi wiiHLiui'K filin' rum » nuiu jh jthe figure-four scissor. Coach Wiclmer is undecided as i who will uphold the lemon-yellow colors iti the 135 pound 'class. Against Idaho, Wingard performed well but is not ns experienced as Davis who entered in the 145 pound class. An experienced man in the welterweight berth is needed and Peterson or Davis may wrestle at this weight. Davis is a 135 pounder but managed to win from Ross of Idaho in the 145 pound weight. In meeting Nixon, in the 135 pound class, and Selfridge at 145, the Oregon mentor realizes that he will have to enter the best men he hns In these two weights. Title Chances Good Ilarrv Leavitt has been training ! hard for the Aggie meet and will be in good shape by Saturday. Al though defeated in the Vandal con test he put up a game fight and ( displayed considerable speed. The ( O. A. C. opponent has not been ! named in the 158 pound weight. ( Cartwright, Oregon 175 pounder, in the first meet showed that he will be able to hold up the light heavy weight burden. . Tf Coach Widmer’s grapplers are | able to cop the big end of the score 5 from the Aggies it will mean that i the varsity has an excellent, chance i- to win the conference title. O. A. e C. has been undefeated for the past >- four years and are out to repeat. 1, The officials for the meet have not been selected. NEW ACHIEVEMENTS IN SCIENCE RECOUNTED BY DR. H. B. TORREY Notable scientific achievements which were noticed by Or. Harrv Heal Torrey on his trip east are | being recounted liv the latter up- | on his return to Kugene. Dr. Tor- j rev recently returned from a meet- | ing of the American Association j for the Advancement of Science, j held at Washington, O. C. After leaving Washington, Or. Torrov visited Wistar Institute, Philadelphia and inspected an ex ceptionally fine rat colony which is maintained for experimental pur poses. When in New York Pity. Or. Tor rev saw Or. Alexis Carrel of the ■Rockefeller Institute. ,Or. Carrel with Or. Kbelirig and others is con ducting a notable series of research es to determine the eharaeteristies of cells and tissues which are cul tivated on slides. Tissues, isolated from the chick embrvo more than ten years ago, are still growing rap j idly. As the tissue grows, part of ! it is transplanted. The original tis sue is still growing. Tn Romo of liis experiments, Dr. Carrel lias found that eertaln eells in maglignant. tumors are derived from certain cells found normally in the blood stream. “These experiments are a strik ing commentary on the present ten dencies in biological science. This sort of work is being done in a de partment of experimental surgery,” stated T)r. Torrey. “Not only is this department maintained, but a snb-department devoted to purely phvsieal researches is in operation.” While in New York. Dr. Torrey attended a meeting of the American TTvgienp Association of which he is a director. Work in elementary botany of grade schools was one of the discussions. The work in this line of the grade schools of The Dalles. Ashland. and previously ! at Newberg. was mentioned as dis | tinct contributions to the field of elementary education in science, (Continued on page four)
