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.

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

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.

eight so were allowed , to enter the
national match. Of the 38 college
teams, Oregon, which entered only
one of its two teams, planed thir

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 title of j
the comedy and the names of the |
authors will be revealed at a later |
date.
The try-outs for the various acts'
will start February l(i, and will I
be held in the College Side Inn.
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,

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

VARSITY OUT FOR TITLE
—
Aggies’ Team Built Around
Last Year’s Lettermen,
Nixon, Russell, Selfridge
Tlu* actual strength of the Ore
gon wrestling team will be deter
miued when they meet the strong
O. 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.

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,
