Glittering question marks, made of candy, were inserted in the sherbet glasses, with the an nouncements attached. Miss Baldwin was a freshman on the campus last year.

Fourth Broadcast In Radio Contest Varied in Theme Oysters, Sitle Shows, Fiji Isles, Chicago Gatins Go Out tin Air By DAVE EYRE Romantic oysters, carnival side shows, the Fiji islands, and Chi cago’s gangland all came in for consideration Sunday night when Alpha Beta Chi, Friendly hall, Phi Gamma Delta, and Beta Theta Pi each offered a half-hour program in the fourth broadcast of the sec ond annual Emerald-KORE radio contest. The ABCs relayed their pro gram direct from Davey Jone3’ locker at the bottom of the sea where an interesting tale of the romance of Minnie the oyster was being broadcast. The theme was well carried out via song and verse. Bob Quinn, Leo Lohikoski, and Ben McDonald composed a trio which sang a revised version of “Minnie the Mermaid.” Lehikoski’s violin solos held a prominent place on the program. Outstanding among his numbers were “I Sur render” and “Sweet Mystery of Life.” Nets Nelson directed the program and continuity was pre pared by Ralph David and Thorn ton Gale. “Congo” Good Number A weird chant, “The Congo,” was perhaps the outstanding fea ture of Friendly hall's program. Norris Porter and William Dough erty were tne interpreters of this unusual bit of orating. Art Olsen and Kolia Reedy made up a har monica-violin team that brought forth genuine old-time music, and Bob Kaiser and Bill Davies added a touch of the modern with theii vocal duets. Paul Howell offered a fable entitled “Jonah and the Whale,” and Quincy Howell and Howard Hughes concluded the contest entry with a duet in brass of “Song of India.” Doc Kellihei announced the Friendly hall pro gram, which was supervised by Steven Coleman. The beat of the tom-tom issued in Phi Gamma Delta’s half-houi of burlesque. Branded as a “Jun gle Idea," the Fijis took their ra dio audience to the South Set islands for a taste of the native environment. Gus Elbow anc Fred Burgoyne acted as announc ers for the program, which was arranged by Graham West. Jus tin McDonald, singing “I’ll Be Blue,” anti a trio, consisting oi Bill White, Dick McGuire, and Bil Ott, offering “Sweetheart of My Student Days,” were particularly well received. Two Perform fe>r Betas Beta Theta Pi broadcast on s policy of quality and not quantity for Con Hammond and John Smed berg made up almost the entire list of performers. “Twelfth Street Rag" and “Swingin’ in a Ham mock” were among the double pi ano numbers which this duo of feree!. Smedberg crooned “Fool Me Some More” e.nel “Them There Eyes,” and Hammond chose pop ular musical comedy numbers tc make up a pleasing piano metlley. George Pratt, as the announcer, brought in the A1 Capone atmos phere for the Beta's Chicago idea "Ain’t She Sweet” took on a new tone when it was played as a har monica and ukelele selection by the Beta baby band. A large audience was present in the visible studios of College Side Inn, and Art Pot win, director ol the contest, complimented tin group upon the manner in which they maintained silence during tin programs.

AA A-AAA AA AAA A-AsA Sunday Concert is Artistic Affair Says Emerald Critic Portland Trio and Singer Liked by Audience At Recital By DAVE WILSON Throe distinct musical personal ities blended into an agreeable whole made the concert given by the Portland Trio at the Music auditorium Sunday afternoon a thoroughly artistic affair. Sylvia Weinstein Margulis, vio lin; Lora Teshner, 'cello; and Ruth Bradley Keiser, piano, presented a i program featuring contrasting i compositions of Brahms and Tschaikowski with all the spirit and skill of sound musiciansship. The Portland Trio, brought to Eugene under the auspices of the University school of music, opened its concert with an unprogrammed minuet by Hadyn, which they played with grace and delicacy. The first composition on the scheduled program was Brahm's Trio, opus 101. They handled the strangely modern abstractness of Brahm’s music in capable and in teresting style. Most interesting of its four movements, perhaps, was the opening “allegro energico” which the trio played with depth and vigor without losing any of their skilled co-ordination of at tack. Tschaikowski’s Trio, opus 50, was interesting in contrast to the Brahm’s by its rich emotionalism. Its “pezzo elegiaco" gave each member of the trio, a chance to display her solo technique, which was uniformly excellent. The audience’s demand for an encore brought the program to a close with a melodious "Romance” by Debussy. Following the con cert a reception for the musicians was held by members of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical sorority. Agnes Petzold, contralto, grad uate student at the school of mu sic and holder of a Juilliard Foun dation scholarship, gave two pri vate recitals for prominent Port land people over the week-end. Saturday evening she appeared in recital at the home of Judge Jacob Kanzler, 1335 E. 31st street, Portland; and Sunday afternoon she was guest of honor in a musi- | cale at the Clackamas river resi dence of Mr. Edward Brodie, U. S. ambassador to Finland. Miss Petzold. who is a student of Arthur Boardman, was enthusias tically received at both appearanc es. Her programs included songs by Mozart, Strauss, Schumann, De libes, Belberg, Bizet, and Wagner. Accompaniment at the piano for both recitals was ably played by Winifred Tyson, music student from Springfield. WHAT SHOW TONIGHT ? I _ .. .Colonial — Clamlette Colbert in "Manslaughter.” Heilig — Ann Harding in "Girl of the Golden West.” McDonald — Jack Oakie in "The Gang Buster.” Rex — Dorothy Mcckaill in “Once a Sinner." State — "Redemption,” and “Personality.” Double bill. “Manslaughter” at Colonial In "Manslaughter,” the Colonial feature for today only, Paramount has brought together three of the biggest personalities of the talk ies. They are Claudette Colbert, Frederick March, and George Ab bott. Each of them contributes an excellent piece of work in this film version of the Alice Duer Mil ler story. Ann Harding at tleilig In a story that is drama, vital in its simplicity and stark in its revelation of human passions run- | ning high against a background of £reed for gold, Ann Harding is ■ appearing for the last time today , at the Heilig. The film, David Belasco's “Girl of the Golden West,” is the most famous of all the stories of the | days of the California gold rush, i There has probably never been j an actress more appealing in this . often played and always coveted I role, than Miss Harding. James Rennie has the male lead. Hex Has Melodrama Dorothy Mackaill is the star of "Once a Sinner,” filmed from a story by George Middleton, and j opening today at the Rex. The picture deals with a girl who craves luxury, but finds a I mere pittance as wages prevents j her getting them. After a mistake j with a wealthy man, who offers i the things she has never had, she I finds a real love. Then comes the question of whether or not her past life belongs to herself. State Has Double Kill John Gilbert’s “Redemption,” and ; "Sally Star in "Personality,” are j he two films on the State theatre's weekly double bill. The first film is one of the few talkies yet made by Gilbert, and the latter a com- j edy which includes Johnny Arthur in its cast.

Jack Oakie at McDonald “The Gang Buster,” with Jack Oakie in the title role, i» the Mc Donald feature today. A hilarious comedy of the adventures of an accident salesmen among racket eers, this is a much better picture than Oakie has made for some time. Treating the underworld in a merry, farcical manner, its take off on the serious melodramas of like nature is spontaneously mer ry. Jean Arthur and William Boyd are the other featured play ers.
