First Vodvil Program
+++ +++
Has Strange Variety
“A new brand of brand-new,
bluer jazz blues,” and a program
which will please every one from the
lowest frosli to the deans them
selves.”
That was the first vodvil of
which the Emerald could find ref
erence. It was held May 14, 1921,
and was not called ‘‘vodvil’ but
‘‘vaudeville,” and mostly just
‘‘Junior Stunt Program.”
The program consisted of a jazz
orchestra, a musical celange, “King
Pharaoh’s Court and the Release of
the Children of Israel,” which was
presented by the University Seulp
ture club; character studies in clay,
also presented by the sculpture
club; an aesthetic interpretation of
Oregon pep, juggling, a tenor solo;
and a musical comedy, ‘‘Maison
Marie.”

Cast of Comedy Shows
Class in Dancing,
Music, Acting
Campus Movie Burlesqued
In Specialty Number
By WILFRED BROWN
“Was there any-, fling wrong in
that?” sang Mitzi, turning toward
tlio audience. “Was there anything
wrong in that?”
There wasn’t, in the opinion of
those who attended the opening per
formance of “Oh Dear” at the Doi
ng theater last night. In fact the
audience found the red-haired song
ster, Mitzi, or Madge Normile, al
together irresistible and on that par
ticular number recalled her three
times bet ire even partial satisfac
tion was obtained.
But the inimitable Madge Xor
mile was r-b the only one who was
able to captivate the audience last
night. From the raising of the cur
tain at the Southern Paeific sta
tion in the first scene, disclosing
the twenty-four members of the
pony chorus and the twelve mem
bers of the men’s chorus, dressed
is students just returning to school
ifter summer vacation, to the time
that it dropped at tlio end of the
last act, leaving Jack and Mary
Frances, Kermit Stevens and Betty
Barnes safely re-united, it was one
hit after another.
The -grace, skill, and enthusiasm
lisplayed by the choruses was per
haps the most outstanding feature
if the performance,- if one pnrticu
nr feature could be called more out
standing than the show as a whole.
‘Back to College,” the opening
song, with its refrain, ‘‘Here we
ire gang, with a big bang, this is
•allege, shout it out,” and “Oh
Dear,” the theme song, were per
haps the most popular and the best
lone. The “Doll Dance” of the
fabaret scene was very beautiful
ind effective.
As bad been predicted by those
ivlio had witnessed some of the re
hearsals, the University of Oregon
ibrarv scene was one of the great
est “kicks” ever presented in Eu
gene. The present informal atmos
phere of the building was consider
ably exaggerated, so as to include
meh things as poker games, bull
fests, and students using alarm
•locks to awake in time from naps.
The somewhat friendly rivalry
which lias existed between the Vod
vil and the Campus Movie in re
gard to such things ns competition
for campus dramatic talent came
?o an astonishing climax last night
in a specialty act of the theater
stage door scene of the show. Eliza
beth Strain, Marshall Hopkins, A1
Penrose, and Jim Swindells staged
x burlesque of the filming of a
scene from the movie with sound
effects that proved one of the most
popular acts of “Oh Dear.”
The three persons who probably
contributed more than any others
to the comedy of the Vodvil were
Marjorie Clark. Homer Dickson, and
Jack Jones. The gigantic Dickson
portrayed the part of a good ma
tured but quite dense campus ath
lete, and the diminutive Jones took
the part of his room mate and co
plotter. Marjorie Clark, > as Folly,
the very curious and still more
talkative member of the Alpha Al
pha Alpha sorority, was also a great
success.
There is not space to tell of nenr
Iv nil of the hits of last night’s
Vodvil. There is but one word to
describe it all. It was a hijt, from
beginning to end.
A matinee performance of “Oh
Dear” will he held at the TTeilig
this afternoon, and the final show
ing tonight. There are still quite
a number of good seats left for to
night, Bill Hammond, chairman of
the business committee, reports,
and there will be room for many
more at the matinee.
