Wslkins Will Describe Artie Submarine Trip Wednesday I Diving' beneath Arctic ice floes —-sailing smoothly through the depth of Polar seas with the weird ly beautiful floor of the' Arctic vis ible above — tossing helplessly about on the surface amid shifting floes, with his ship, the Nautilus, rudderless and unable to dive be low were some of the experiences of Sir Hubert Wilkins, noted Polar explorer, and his band of scientists on their bold attempt to reach the North Pole. Motion pictures re cording every important happening on the expedition will be shown when Wilkins makes his appear ance in McArthur court next Wed nesday evening, with the explorer, himself, describing the incidents. The expedition penetrated to within 450 miles of the pole to prove that Wilkins’ ideas of sub marine travel through the polar regions was practical. Through the general public considers the cour ageous explorer beaten, the infor mation he gathered on the voyage of the Nautilus has made him cer tain that he can now build a craft that will be suitable for extended dives under the ice. Wilkins, who has devoted his life to polar exploration, used dog sleds and airplanes on his previous ex peditions but he recently declared that the submarine was the best! means of transportation for this' type of work. Much interest has been evinced in the appearance of Wilkins at McArthur court and all indications point to a large attendance at his lecture. The prices announced for the event are 50 cents for seats in the center sections and 25 cents for seats in the side sections. As the lecture is not a regular fea- j ture on the student concert series, and is therefore not included in the student body fees, a charge of 25 cents will be made for students at tending the event.

National On the Dance isks Recent Records Reviewed By LARKY FISCHER .11 ST RELEASED TODAY All of Me By the Sycamore Tree Paul Whiteman and llis Orchestra Here is a record which the re viewer considers to be one of the best put out in several months. Both tunes are very popular now, and Whiteman does them up in his own style, which guarantees the maximum of entertainment and dancing value. Both numbers start out in char acteristic fashion, and introduce us into the Whiteman manner of . alternating good, solid 4-4 rhythm with syncopation which is, to say the least, hot. Mildred Bailey, Whitemans latest find, and who is heard with him on the radio, sings the chorus in "All of Me," and Jack Fulton does the other, j There isn't much you can say! about a Whiteman record; it either good or bad. And this one's good. Don't miss it. It's at White-Marlatt's today. ] Two Violin Solos Will Be Featured With Orchestra Brockman, Halbrrt To Play Classical and Spanish Numbers Sunday The program of the University Symphony orchestra, to be playeil Sunday afternoon in the music au ditorium under the direction of Rex Underwood, will be one of wide variety and will bring to the campus several numbers which have not been heard here for many years. Frances Brockman and Howard Halbert, two student music ma jors, will be the featured soloists with the orchestra. Miss Brockman will play the Mozart Concerto in E-flat for vio lin and orchestra. The sparkle and life of this selection, while it shows Mozart in his classic fine ness, also brings out that side of his music which marks him as * a showman. Howard Halbert will play the violin solo part of the "Symphonic Espagnole” by Edouard Lalo, and will also be accompanied by the orchestra. This selection is a di rect contrast to Mozart's work. Mozart is a classicist, while the "Symphonie Espagnole” is- dis tinctly modern and descriptive in its idioms. The program begins at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Students will be admitted for 15 cents; faculty and townspeople for 25 cents. Tiny Player Halts Dress Rehearsal At Guild Theatre The youngest actress ever to ap pear on Guild theatre stage brought a halt last night to the dress rehearsal of “The Trojan Women” by refusing to be carried on by the warriors. She is Bar bara Hendricks, age two and a half, who will play the part of the little Trojan Prince Astyanax, son of Andromache. The play be gins a two-day run tonight in Guild hall. Barbara has attended a number of rehearsals and has made friends with most of the cast, especially Chuck Shoemaker and Bill Anderson, who must look like giants from her diminutive 31 inches. Last night she played her first scene with Andromache and the soldiers exceptionally well, but once off stage she refused to come back until Chuck Shoemaker took off his helmet to prove that he was the same fellow she had known for several weeks. After all, it is difficult to explain to a two-year-old that it’s only "make believe.” Eugene Churches To Hohl United Meeting on Peace The churches of Eugene are sponsoring a mass meeting on world peace and disarmament to be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Methodist church.

WALORA CANDIES 851 East 13th Spanish Pieces Will Be Included In Organ Recital ‘La Playera,’ and ‘Cordova’ Will Be Played Sunday In response to a request from the Oregon chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, Spanish national honorary, Professor John Stark Evans has included in his program for the coming Sunday twilight organ re cital a group of Spanish pieces. The newly chosen members of the honorary, Barbara Leiter and J. Ladrew Moshberger, are to assist with the ushering. Two of the Spanish numbers are by Spaniards, and two by Spanish Amerifcans. Granados, whose Spanish dance, “La Playera,” is to be played, was the composer who was drowned when the ill fated Sussex went down in the English channel during the World war. Isaac Albeniz is a contem porary musician, whose "Cordova” is well known for its interweaving of Spanish and Moorish themes. “A la Orilla de un Palmar” is a typical Mexican folksong, which suggests the strumming instru ment, and the duet, “Adios mi Chaparrita," which is a character istic country folksong from the re gion near Guadalajara, has become better known in the United States since it was reprinted and sent as a token of friendship to the chil dren of this country from those of Mexico, the latter paying for all the expenses by contributing a centavo per student throughout the country. ‘Love, Marriage’ Talks Limited to Crowd of 130 Due to an error in yesterday’s Emerald, the Westminster associ ation wishes to announce that the number of students that will be admitted to the series of lectures on “Love and Marriage,” to begin next Monday evening at 8 o’clock at Westminster house, will be lim ited to 150.
