Cast Tonight in Drama
Of Middle Kingdom
J. Lyons, Katherine Starr
lake Leading Roles
“Burn incense while I pepp at
the head,” commands Carl Klip
psl, as he sits luxuriously drink
ing tea.
“Why!” he exclaims, “you have
V chopped off the lips I have kissed.
You have chopped off the ears
that have listened to my love.”
"To the pigs with the head,”
commands Gordon Stearns with an
imperious wave of the hand.
The head belonged to Carl’s first
wife. Stearns is the father of
his second wife.
This is part of a scene from
“The Yellow Jacket,” fascinating
drama of the Middle Kingdom,
which will be presented tonight at
the Heilig theater under the direc
tion of Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Sey
bolt, head of the department of
arama.
Play Studied
The play is presented in the
Chinese style. Mrs. Seybolt is well
equipped to handle the vast
^ amount of technicalities connected
with it, as she saw the initial per
formance of the play in New York,
has presented it before, and has
made a special trip to San Fran
cisco's Chinatown to study the
Chinese theater.
. The stage settings, gorgeous,
spectacular, fantastic, have been
designed by Fred O. Harris, in
structor in stage design.
Lyons Veteran Actor
Jim Lyons, as the hero, Wu Hu
Git, is a veteran actor of the cam
pus, not only having taken major
character parts in every play this
year, but having been the hero of
last year's commencement play,
"If I Were King.”
Supporting him is Katherine
Starr, who last year had the part
of Huguette in the commence
ment play.
The play has taken in new tal
ent: notably in the case of Gene
Love, Vinton Hall, Eugene Laird,
| William Cutts, and Miles Shaw.
The cast, however, could almost
be classed as "all-star” because
it includes such actors and ac
tresses as Jack Waldron, Carl
Klippel, Addison Brockman, Lo
leta Jaeger, Florence McNerney,
Renee Nelson, Celene Lauterstein,
Gordon Stearns, and Margaret
Turner.
Plot Not Revealed
The play itself is the story of a
father and husband who plots to
murder his first wife (being fonder
of the second one) and her son ;
(who is deformed). lie plants!
opium in the flowers so that she
will breathe it; and he finally
hires assassins . . . but, how does
this villain succeed? Even a re
porter cannot tell secrets.
There is drama, melodrama,
comedy, a thousand laughs, tears,
sobs, heartbreak (if only in the
case of the property man!); there
is action; there is sin . . . above
all, there are subtly clever lines.
“The Yellow Jacket” has had
A such surprising success where it
has been shown that it has been
translated into English, French,
German, Spanish, Italian, and Rus
sian.

Original Manuscript Found
Humor Volume of 1884 Proves Unique
“Excerpts from the book of eti
quette—on driving. First, when
you want to take a drive, go in
with some other fellow and hire
a buggy. Then engage your girl.
If your girl cannot go, do not ask
another or she will be second
choice, but then, you will never
know the difference 100 years
now.’’
This paragraph was taken from
an original manuscript written
about 1884 and recently found in
the drawer of an old desk in the
library by M. H. Douglass, li
brarian. (This manuscript was
called “Laurean Eutaxian Buc
cinnator,” and is headed volume
1, number 1. It was supposedly
the official publication of the two
literary societies which existed on
the campus at that time.
The whole thing is written in a
humorous fashion, with a great
deal of satire. Professors on the
campus at that time are sketched
in the first part of the paper.
Mrs. Mary P. Spiller, John
Straub, Professor Condon are
among those mentioned.
The last part of the paper is de
voted to a prophecy of the future
of members of this class. A trip
is taken to New York by the writ
er where he sees hie fellow stu
dents, some as famous authors,
some as famous inventors, some
married, and some in the “blissful
state of singleness.” Airplanes,
which are the accepted means of
transportation are described at
length. Every person, it seems,
owns one. The prophecy is signed,
“Very truly yours, Sober Sam.”
The original manuscript which
was written on copy paper is to
be bound in order that it may be
preserved, Mr. Douglass says.
New Quartet To
Make Debut for
Commencement
Members Chosen From
Polyphonic Choir
By Bryson
A new University of Oregon
men’s quartet, composed of Jack
Davis, John Conder, Gifford
Nash, and Eugene Love, has been
organized and will make its first
appearance on the campus during
the commencement week, accord
ing to announcement made Mon
day by Roy Bryson, faculty mem
ber of the school of music.
The quartet has been chosen
from the ranks of the University
polyphonic choir, in which all four
have had intensive training under
Arthur Boardman, director. Bry
son, who is assistant choir direc
tor, has organized the quartet and
will direct it. Since last January
when the four first began to work
together the quartet developed an
extensive repertoire which it sings
without music. All four men are
gifted musically and have the
added advantage of thorough stu
dy in the school of music, Bryson
said in commenting on the bright
future of the new musical organi
zation.
Davis, who is from Portland,
sings first tenor. Conder, second
tenor, Nash, baritone, and Love,
bass, are all from Eugene.

TODAY’S ATTRACTIONS
McDonald—“Cuckoos.”
Rex—“Guilty.”
State—"Mexicali Rose.”
Colonial* “Condemned.”
Heilig—“Last Life.”
Those of us who have some time
or other considered ourselves silly,
crazy, goofy, or any other such
complimentary adjective will en
joy seeing “Cuckoos" now at the
McDonald. Bert Wheeler and Rob
ert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey
act that way more convincingly
than any real lunatic we have ever
had the privilege to review.
Marriages and ministers are all
mixed up together in “Fast Life,”
playing at the Heilig. A real min
ister performs a “reel” marriage
for Doug Jr. and Loretta Young”
with all the trimmings. It’s too
bad people insist upon wasting
perfectly good rice on young cou
ples, but we'll have to admit it’s
a good way to get rid of old shoes.
The Colonial is offering a very
superior attraction, “Condemned.”
Ronald Coleman has one of the
very best talking voices of the
screen and he has to make enough
use of it in arguing with a jeal
ous husband who also happens to
be his jailor on “Devil’s” Island.
Three Students
To Give Concept
Foster, Thielsen, Fisher,
To Appear Thursday
A pianist, a soprano, and a bas«
so who have gained more than or
dinary recognition in their years
at the University of Oregon will
appear in recital together Thurs
day night at the music auditorium.
They are Gladys Foster, Nancy
Thielsen, and Edward Fisher, all
well known to the campus for
their musical activities. Miss Fos
ter is one of the six Juilliard schol
ars, studying under the noted New
York foundation, while both Miss
Thielsen and Fisher have been so
loists on important occasions with
the University symphonic choir.
They sang the St. Cecelia mas3
solo par(3 during the winter term
this year. Last summer Miss
Thielsen sang the leading role In
the Sunset Trail pageant, given
by Eugene.
Both singers are students of Ar
thur Boardman, head of the voice
department, while Miss Foster is
a student of George Hopkins, head
of the piano department.
Hot weather seems to have
struck at least one campus. Co
eds at Arizona, says an exchange,
are discarding their stockings to
the ratio of 26 out of 41.
