Portland Firm Asks for More Student Singers Parts Will Burlesque Popular Songs; Will Not Be Hard Singers, and still more singers, is the plea of the directing staff of the “Portland Follies.” And the tempting part is that you don’t have to be a particularly great sing er to be given a part in the huge burlesque musical comedy sponspr ed by Portland Post number 1 of the American Legion and scheduled for December 29 in the Public Auditor ium in Portland. Both men and women students from Oregon and O. A. C. are asked to take part in the production, which is being directed by Miss Doris Smith, already noted for the manner in tvhich sh^ handled the Portland Rosaria, and the Eugene Trail to Rail pageant. A number of Oregon and O. A. C. students and alumni have already accepted places in the cast, but more are wanted. Some of those who will participate are Jane and Anne O’Rilley, Katherine Wilcox, and Eleonor Holman Burkett. Fred Martin, last year’s yell king, will be in the production. The com plete east, most of whom are Leg ion members, totals 200. The production, in the form of a monster musical comedy, is a bur lesque on various public events in Portland during 1926, such as the visit of Queen Marie, parades, and other public demonstrations. Oregon men or women who would like to appear in the comedy are asked to see Georgia Benson, at the dean of women’s office. Miss Benson will obtain the music from Portland, in order that no time will be lost in learning the songs. The words are parodies on well-known airs. The Legion in Portland expects to raise $5,000, with which they will carry out their yearly pro gram.

In saying that I am using the word ‘university’ in a big sense. This is not a grammar school, or a high school, and our band is not going to be of that cal ibre,” said W. L. Ferris, professor of music and director of the Uni versity band.| “As yet, we have not at all the proper size or proportion, ! but we have the good big start of , a real band.” j The band that Mr. Ferris is plan , ing will be composed of thirty-eight ; pieces. One piccolo and flute, one i bassoon, one e flat clarinet, eight b flat clarinets, three saxophones, | eight cornets, four horns, four trom : —-- -- — bones, two baritones, three basses, j and three percussions. This will be| the “Number 1” band; the “Num ber 2” band will be practically the same but not of the correct propor tions. Rehearsals are held twice a week, from 4 to 5 on Mondays and Wed nesdays. Mr. Fcrrih stresses the importance of regularity at rehear sals. According to him, “Fifty per cent attendance will not make a one hundred per cent band.” He is also planning to drill occasionally so the marching form will be more nearly perfect. There are three "pieces, alto, bar itone, and bass players, that are lacking in the band. According to Mr. Ferris all of these instruments are very much worth while, although greatly neglected. The alto, which is sometimes called a peck-horn, is very easy to play, ^nd does not re quire much practice. It is used for both bands and orchestras, and plays a prominent part in many solo, duet, trio or quartet pieces. The baritone is used in a band only, although it may be used in a small orchestra in place of a bas A Vhetyjm for %. red-blooded men! . i X Fall and winter sports are here again!
