i Two Hundred Singing in ‘Elijah" Popular Campus Soloists With Eugene Society By A, p. This is the night that Eugene music lovers have been anticipat ing for a good many weeks, for it is to be the first presentation of the Mcnderssohn oratoria “Elijah.” It will be given in the school of music auditorium by the Eugene Oratorio society of 200 voices, organized and directed by John Stark Evans. It will give opportunity for Eugene to hear the man that critics acclaim —Rollin Pease of Chicago—■ as well as three other well known soloists: Jane Burns, soprano; Jennie F. W. Johnson, contralto; and Ffanklin Hiker, tenor. Felix Mendelssohn based this ora torio on the story of the prophet Elijah of the Bible. Elijah, the man 61 God, after prophesying three years of drought and famine in the land, fled into the desert where he lemained until the Lord called him to return. He then exhorted the peo ple to choose between the god, Baal, and his Lord. Two altars were erect ed and sacrifices placed on them without fire. After calling on their god all day long, the priests of Baal heard no answering voice. Then Eli jah commanded that the altar he had erected to the “Lord God Al I mighty” be drenched with" water three times. Then he Called on the name of God. His prayer was ans wered; “And then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the ’trench.” (I Kings, 19: 38). The mob, swayed by the awesome sight, fell down and worshiped the Lord, then seized the priests of Baal and slew them. A little cloud like a man’s hand appeared, then a mighty wind came, and a great rain. Jezebel, the queen, then plotted against Elijah and he fled again to tdio wilderness, begging'the Lord -to let him dte. But God’s voice’com manded him to return upon his way. And then “ . . . there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire ... and Elijoh went up by a whirl wind into heaven.” In such a mighty theme there is much opportunity for terrific choral effects as well as the softer reverential supplications to the God of Zion for aid. In Uddition to the solos, duets, and quartets of the guest araists, Mr. Evans has trained a double quartet composed of Anna Katherine Garrett, Evelyn Dew, Nancy Thielsen, Stella Fishburne, llichard Adam, Harold Socolofsky, Eugene Carr, and Edward Fisher, all very prominent students in the school of music, who will sing yie double quartet, “For He Will Give His Angels Charge Over Thee.” Frances Fierce is to be the or ganist. The program will begin promptly at 8:15 o’clock.

World Debaters To Tell of Trip Three Speakers Will Talk Before Assembly • _ “Around the World in Sixty Min utes” has been announced as the assembly speech for tomorrow morn ing, and with its introduction, a new type of lecture is making its debut to the campus. This is the tri-pod form of talk. Assembly is to last sixty minutes, Benoit Mc Croskev, Avery Thompson, and Jack Hempstead, the world tour debaters, each covering a third of the sixty, or twenty minutes. Thompson is scheduled to receive the first grill ing of his fellows, when he opens the assembly to talk for twenty minutes on the first leg of their trip, Japan, Hawaii and the Philip pines. The second twenty minutes will be claimed by Jack Hempstead, who will carry the thread of the tale through China, India, Palestine and Egypt. All this part of the journey has been touched upon in the Emer ald by one or two vivid letters describing the hectic Oriental ex periences of the trio, and a world of interest has been expressed in the affair ever since.

Tomorrow night, in Villard hall at 7:30, the story will bo completed when the three debaters will show the complete details of their trip in pictures. These movies were expensive and difficult to take, often risking life and limb on the part of the three students. To cover a part, of the expense, the charge for seeing the film has been minimized to thirty five cents, and tickets may be se cured either at the door or at Jack Belief id's office. The further benefit of having every detail of the trip explained as the picture goes on, will be an added attraction of the movie. Townspeople and stu dents are alike welcome. W. A. A.
