He will he missed by every grad, for there are none who do not know him. Homecoming this year is the first graduate- reunion in 52 years that has commenced and ended without his colorful presence. Yesterday, through Mrs. Straub, the following message was given tc the Emerald from Emeritus Dean John Straub: "I regret deeply that I cannot attend at Homecoming, but, in spirit, I’ll be there, as always.” Since July, Dean Straub has been confined to his home, and a month ago his physicians forbade his re ceiving visitors. For the past sev eral days he has not been allowed to leave his bed. Absolute rest and quiet, such as he never dreamed during his days as an Oregon pro fessor, are now his daily employ ment. Indeed, peace and seclusion are harder for him than all the heavy burden of the office of the dean of men. But in that quiet and rest lie his future strength. His rapid, swinging stride and squared, broad shoulders will not be seen in the groups of old timers on the campus today, but he'll be there just the same, as every year ir. the past half century. "In spirit, I'll be there, as al ways.” Wlllcox To Attend Meeting W. R. B. Willcox, professor of architecture, will leave today for Omaha, Nebraska, where he will attend the annual meeting of the American Inter-Professional Insti tute, to be held November 14 and 15. WHAT SHOW TONIGHT? I McDonald Saturday only, “Up the River.’’ Sunday, “Eyes of the World.’’ Heilig Saturday only, Low ell Sherman in “The Pay Off.” Sunday till Tuesday, “Maybe It’s Love,” with All-American Football nine. Colonial Saturday only, “The Cohens and Kellys in Scotland. Sunday, George Ar ils in "Disraeli.” Rex Saturday anti Sunday, Huck Jones in "Men Without Laws.” “Disraeli” at Colonial Sunday "Disraeli,” starring George Ar liss, the foremost actor on the English speaking stage today, comes to the Colonial theatre for Sunday and Monday. "Disraeli” has been one of the big box-office successes for the year, and stands an excellent chance to win the Academy award for the outstanding film of the past year. George Arliss, seen several times on the stage in Eugene, has his finest screen role in this, his fa vorite play. It is the story of Dis raeli, the eminent premier of Bri tain during the reign of Victoria, the pure. It depicts the struggle ol a Jew for recognition socially anti politically. Buck Jones at Hex Buck Jones is the last of the famous “hard-ridin" western stars, lie appears at the Rex theatre to day and Sunday in “Men Without Law,” a gripping drama of the West. Jones is an able actor and this film gives him his chance to display his athletic prowess. McDonald Has Prison Farce Today is your last chance to see the hilarious takeoff on serious prison dramas, “Up the River," playing at the McDonald theatre. With an equal division of farce ami satire, the film, for sheer hilarity, has seldom been approached. It deals primarily with two amateur Now is the Time T or you to look your best.

All-American Team at Ileilig Featuring the All - American team for 1929, “Maybe It’s Love,” opens at the Heilig Sunday for a three-day run. It is romance of college days, with a cast headed by Joan Bennett, Joe Brown and James Hall. A fast moving story of campus life, it presents an au thentic picture of undergraduate days. Miss Bennett portrays a col lege belle, and Joe Brown has the In Homecoming Concert Above is the University String Quartet, recently organized on the campus, which will give its first concert at the music auditorium Sun- j day afternoon at 4 o’clock.

Henry King, the director, uses this stern, ethical law as the foun dation for a beautiful romance and a dramatic story of two diverse stratas of the social scale -the mountaineers and the urbanites. John Holland and Una Merkel have the leads. Colonial Has Comedy Today Carrying their habit of getting into amusing and embarrassing | situations across the Atlantic to Scotland, “The Cohens and Kellys ir. Scotland" are closing their Co lonial run today. These two fam ilies find a series of adventures that rival Gulliver; they are among the premier laugh getters of the screen. Charlie Murray does the finest work as “old man Kelly,” belligerent Irishman. Sherman in Heilig Film Lowell Sherman, one of the best known actors on the legitimate, is playing at the Heilig today in “The Pay Off.” The theme of this drama is the business of racketeer ing Sherman playing the role of one old in the game who finally sees his house of cards collapse. It is a fine, gripping story with some thrilling moments of dramat ic action. I Try a “Football” Facial —after the game— To correct chapped and wind-burned complexion. Be attractive for the Dance.

REX UNDERWOOD, First Violin BUFORD ROACH, Violist Washington Baba Finds Igloo Hard Place To Leave A lone man, wandering around with a lost expression and a large piece of adhesive tape on his face, accosted one of the hard-working workers for the Journalism Jam boree at the Igloo yesterday. "Say, how in the world do you get out of here?” he inquired plaintively. "I've been all around and I can’t find any doors.” The hard-working member of the dance committee gently took the bewildered by the hand and led him to the door. En route, she managed to find out that he was only a member of the Washington Babe football team (not crazy or delirious from wounds as she first thought), and that he was trying to reach the bus which was to take him and his teammates back to their alma mater. The piece of ad hesive covered a badly bruised lip, result of the afternoon's game, and the bewildered look was caused by his attempt to gain freedom from the maze of McArthur court.

Russell Speaks „ Monday in Music Building _._ Famous Poet-Economist To Lecture on Scientific Farming Methods Students and faculty of the Uni versity wii! have an opportunity Monday evening to hear an ad dress by George W. Russell, Ire land's most versatile, visionary, and generally influential citizen, who will speak at the music audi torium at 8 o'clock that evening. Mr. Russell, eminent in cultural life as AE, is making a six-month tour of the country, during which he has been lecturing on the ad vantages that have been brought to his land through agricultural cooperation. It is a doctrine of scientific farm organization that AE is giving America. Hts teaching is not theoretical, but based on a philos ophy of rural civilization that he has proved practical in his own. country. Mr. Russell began his career in an accounting office. Later he began to write poetry, and it was at this period of his life that he became AE. His poems were hid den under a pseudonym, Aeon, but as his handwriting was none too legible, the typesetters, unable to read the signature, printed only the first two letters of the nom de plume. Mr. Russell organized the Agri cultural Cooperative society, has served as assistant secretary of the Irish Agricultural Organiza tion society, and at one time was editor of The Irish Homestead, GEOROE W. RUSSELL which later became the Irish Statesman. AE has written several books, including “The National Being," “The Interpreters,” “The Candle of Vision” and several books of verse. The arrangements for Mr. Rus sell’s visit here are in charge of Dr. Philip A. Parsons, dean of the school of applied social science, who is a member of the national 1 committee of welcome also.
