theatre tonight when the opening

performance ot
the Dream' Fol

sented as a cli
max of weeks pf
preparation un

of Billy O'Bry
ant. The stage
is all set, the
tickets practical
! ly sold out and
■ everything is in
readiness for the
first grand func
tion or Junior wecK-ena.
Two rehearsals yesterday served
to put the east, in the pink of con
dition and nothing sh'ort of an
earthquake will halt the show. The
final rehearsal began at 11 o’clock
last night after the vaudeville per
formance at the Heilig theatre, was
over, and ran into the small hours
of the night. Costumes, scenery
and lighting effects were all assem
bled and the practice went off in
the same order that the first per
formance will..
Dream Forms Plot
One of the most fantastic and en
tertaining dreams imaginable is the
thread that binds the twenty dif
ferent scenes of the plot together.
When the curtain rises al 8:00, a
gay crowd of young people arc seen
having a frivolous time at a roof
garden party in New York. One of
the crowd who has been away fqr
several years returns from his trav
els carrying a mysterious cup which
has been lost . by the legendary
“Maker of Dreams.” The action be
gins for the party when the “Maker
of Dreams” comes to claim the cup
and gives as a reward a dream filled
with picturesque scenes, humorous
situations, and a galaxy of beauti- j
fill and graceful dancers.
The dream carries the group to
the banks of the ancient Nile river,
where Cleopatra held her court
midst all the splendors of Egypt;
into an unknown jungle in which a
negro wanderer, runs across a horde
of beautiful savage women ruled
over by a wild man; to the rotaantic
land of Hawaii where the ukeleles
furnish music for the eccentric hula
dancers; and many other lands of
mystery and charm known only by
the fantastic dream man.
No Individual Stars
Unlike .the musical comedy, “Cre
ole Moon,” given by the juniors
last year, Dream Follies will be a !
revue type of show and will not j
have any individual stars appearing |
throughout the production. How- j
over, the pony and beauty choruses, j
Madge Normile, featured blues sing
er, Jack Reynolds and a number of
others will appear in several scenes,
though in different roles each time.
There will be no long waits or
pauses between the scenes, accord
ing to Billy O’Bryant. A competent
stage crew headed by George Mason
will handle the scenery in experi
enced fashion and skits will fill tjio
time necessary to change settings.
George McMurpliey and his Kol
loge Knights will furnish all the |
music for the dances. The orchestra I
trio wfll also be featured in the
show. Billy'O’Bryant lias written
all the musie used in the songs anil ■
dances and if early predictions are
not too far off. many of these pieces
will furnish the part of the campus;
capable of carrying a tune with j
new material. “The IJ a n c i n g I
Rhythm” is one that should prove :
fully as popular as “New Orleans” i
did last year.
i
Portland Trip
The assurance of a trip to Port- |
land for the entire cast of the Fol
lies has been #n added incentive this
year for those taking part to ex- \
hibit the best possible and the co- !
operation has been unusually good
this year. Members of the advisory
staff, consisting of Donald Erb, S. j
Stephenson Smith, Constance Roth, ;
Ronald Ilubbs and Joe McKeown, ;
have expressed highly complimentary \
opinions of the show and look for- j
ward to its success both in Eugene j
and Portland.

Frosli Trounce
Ashland Normal
Freshman Nine Show Form
In 10 to 2 Yietory
By RICTIABD TT. SYRtNG
Sports Editor
In tlio first baseball gamp to bo
played on the local . diamond this
season, the University of Oregon
freshman, showing good form de
spite the lack of outdoor practice,
trounced the Southern Oregon Nor
mal school of Ashland, 10 to 2, yes
terday afternoon. Except for a bat
ting spree by' the Oregon yearlings
in the second and fifth innings,
the game was much closer than the
score indicates.
Yesterday afternoon was the sec
ond time, in a good many seasons
that outdoor activities were permis
sible but Coach “Spike” Leslie’s
proteges took to the green turf of
Reinhart field as a duck does to
water. Only' two errors were chalked
up against the green cappers.
Coach Leslie used four flingers in
yesterday’s fray and they all gave a
good account of their hurling"ability.
Dave Bloom took up the burdens at
the beginning of the contest and
breezed along nicely, allowing but
one hit and striking out five, until
the beginning of the fourth, when
big George Chappell, another right
hander, started shooting them over.
Bloom will probably start the game
against the Rooks in Corvallis, Sat
urday'.
Chappell Bears Down
Chappell demonstrated his ability
to come through in a pinch in the
fifth inning. May beat out a hit to
short, Stewart struck out, Laws
drove a nice Texas leaguer over se
cond and Ashcraft walked. At this
juncture big George, decidedly in
■>, bad hole, tightened down and
struck out Shields and Hartnell.
Vernon Arnett, southpaw, did some
good chucking in the seventh and
eight cantos, and Barber pitched tlie
ninth.
Lewis Stewart, Normal school
r.labman and pitcher for the O. S. C.
Rooks last year, pitched pretty good
ball, allowing It hits. If it hadn’t
been for the two bad innings, things
might have beeh different.
“Goliath” lingers, diminutive
second saelcer, Harold Olinger and
Francis Andrews did the heavy stick
work for the freshman.
This trio also did the scintillating
to< rk in the infield. Andrews hit a
home run in the fifth. May, first
saeker for Coach R. W. McNcal’s
nine, gained two safe biuglcs out of
three trips to the plate.
The Ashland team started the fire
works early in the fray when Ash
craft, second batter up, walked. lie
scored on Marshal Shield’s deep
double ipto center field. Shield’s,
former Oregon freshman athlete, hit
this drive so hard that it at first
locked liky a home run.
Frosh Score Early
The local first year men started
their heavy barrage of hits in the
second inning. Olinger singled and
was advanced to second and scored
cn Andrews’ fielder’s choice. Smith
singled and both scored when Mau
rice Sussman, freshman backstop,
drove one nearly to the school house
for a triple.. Sussman was out at
heme on a squeeze play. Bloom
'.calked and scored on Hilger’s single
into right field. Two singles and Ol
inger’s triple and Andrews’ home
run scored three more in the fifth.
A pair of bingles brought one home
in the sixth and two walks and a

Lone 50 Cents Waits
Out of Owner's Reach
In Commerce Library
A fifty cent piece is resting in tlie
sky light of the commerce library
waiting for some ingenious person
to bring it down to earth. It wqs
thrown there Thursday morning by
j Harold Socc^kofsky, senior, when he
was playfully tossing it around. He
miscalculated his distance. The 50
j cents landed on the railing of the
j sky light, and there it has stayed
! ever since.
Its quiet presence far above the
! heads of the crowd has caused many
longing eyes to be cast upward, and
i there has been much speculation as
j to the*best way to dislodge it. Its
j owner managed to got. up on the
roof, hoping to reach it from there,
but he was unsuccessful. About the
only recourses left is a long ladder
oi a pole with a hook on the end.
Until either of these means are
found, it seems that the 50 cents
will stay, alone and unspent.

ation of Res Johnson, Beta Theta
Pi, for president. Davis Recited
Johnson's qualifications for n>e of
fice, telling of his activities while
in school and stressing the fact that
although he was not a varsity de
bater he was a good speaker and
would be well qualified to be tho
head of the A. S. U. O.
Durgan Nominates McKeown
As soon as Davis had finished,
Walter Durgair, Phi Sigma Kappa,
nominated Joe McKeown, Sigma
Chi, for president. Durgan stated
that the two things needed in a
president were ability to speak and
executive ability.
Durgan said that McKeown’s ex
ecutive ability has been proved in
the committee work which he has
done, and he mentioned especially
the fact that McKeown is chair
man of the junior week-end direct
crate. In illuhtratingl McKeown's
ability to speak, Durgan quoted his
record as a debater, and added that
by virtue of being junior man on
the student council at present, Mc
Keown has a good insight into stu
dent affairs. McKeown was char
acterized by Durgan ns being tho
most prominent junior on tho cam
pus.
Without bothering to close tho

work on camjpus committees and
work outside of school was stressed

a review of her activities on the
campus.
Somewhat of a surprise was sprung
when Kstlier Hardy, Kappa Alpha
Theta, nominated Josephine Ralston,
Alpha Phi, for the job of secretary.
Miss Hardy stresed the fact that
Jo Ralston was running indepen
dently and was not bolstered up by
the backing of any political ma

ciation with Emerald work since
starting in the university.
