Kedroff Quartet Will Appear Sunday in Concert at Igloo ' F Famous Russian Ensemble Will Appear Here at 3 o’Clock j y ,0 :*• -- ' r A rare treat is in store for Ore gon students when the Kedroff quartet, the famous ensemble of Russian singers, appears in con cert at McArthur court Sunday afternoon. The concert, which is a regular feature of the Associated Students’ series, will start at 3 o’clock and will be free to stu dents upon presentation of their student body cards. There are very few vocal quar tets in existence, of the same type as the Kedroff ensemble. It re quired long years of practice and devotional work to achieve the heights they have reached. Their sole aim is attaining perfection, the perfection of a group of stringed instruments, combined with unity of interpretation. It is their desire to keep any one voice from gaining ascendency over the others. “The Kedroff quartet, of all sing ing ensemble groups, comes closest to achieving a oneness of expres sion,” writes Charles Isaacson in the New York Telegram, “at times the most minute observation, right at the stage, could not disclose which voice belonged to any one of the singers. The result is a blending of the tones, a set of nuances which is beyond compari son." Commenting on the same sub ject, Harry Burke in the St. Louis Globe summarizes his glowing re view in the following sentence: "The person who goes to hear the Kedroffs with expectation built upon the male quartets.of his ex perience is doomed to — surprised delight. There is Jiothing like them on the concert stage.” Their singing is unique and in a class by itself, and they have set new standards for male quartets. "I have never heard," writes A. J. Warner of th*; Rochester Times Union, "a quartet in the least like the Kedroff ensemble, which dif ferent even in the arrangement of its personnel on the stage, the bari tone standing at the side of the first tenor, with the second tenor placed between the baritone and the bass. What happens when they sing calls to mind a single instru ment—a celestial one, played by a master hand."

GRAND OLD MAN TALKS ON LINCOLN TRAGEDY (Continued from Page One) ! mourning on it than any house in ! the block. You’d have thought it was his father who had been shot!” The one day that Lincoln lay in I state in the rotunda of Indepen (dence hall is one of the most mem ! orable of Dean Straub’s life. Luck ily, it was a fine day, not too warm. From about 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning until almost 4 (o’clock in the afternoon, Johnnie I and his father stood in the line | that stretched along Chestnut street for nearly a mile. One slow step at a time they moved for ward. Men sold ham sandwiches, cookies, and lemonade to the people in line. A woman offered Mr. Straub, the far from wealthy cabingt-mak er, .$25 for his place in line. He re fused it, but, when n^ policeman was looking, let her slip in ahead of him, so that her little boy coidd see the great man, too. Two Musical Students Give Piano and Vocal Numbers The student recital which was presented last night in the Music auditorium featured a singer who was better than the usual, Ralph Coie, baritone, and a pianist, Edith Grim. Coie opened the recital with “It Is Enough,” by Mendelssohn. His tones were sure and his diction plain, and his interpretations were marked by musical expression throughout. Miss Grim opened the second group with three Brahms’ composi tions, “Rhapsody in B-minor,” and two Intermezzos, Op. 119, No. 1, and No. 3. Her music was pleasing to listen to, and showed the ability to cope with either dif ficult or with quiet music. Mr. Coie opened the third group with “In einem kuhlen Grunde,” and continued with “Der Asra,” by Rubenstein, and “Ich grolle nicht,” by Schumann. Miss Grim then played a group of four numbers, Chopin’s “Noc turne in B-major,” Ibert’s “Little i White D o n k e y,” Palmgren's "White Lilies,” and Granada’s ! “Valse de Concert.” The “Little White Donkey” proved to be a rolicking, sprightly, trotting little I selection which left everybody in a happy mood. Mr. Coie then sang "By a Lone ly Forest Pathway” by Griffes, j "Winds” by Test, "O, Thou Sun” ' by Slonov, and “Sing Again” by Protheroe. "Winds’ ’and “Sing Again” were excellently done, be ing interpreted in the true atmos which they demanded. The program was concluded by Mjss Grim who played the second and third movements from Aren sky’s "Concerto in F-minor.” Miss Grimm was assisted by George Hopkins, her instructor, who an nounced that this selection was not a duet, but a solo with accompani ment on another piano. The pecu liar count of the third movement of this concerto is due to the fact that it is written in 5-4 time, Mr. Hopkins explained. Education Is Discussed By N. L. Bossing Last Night Overcoming of Prejudices Is Said Important In Man’s Action “It is the duty of education to determine what we want in future civilization,” Nelson L. Bossing, professor of education, said last night in his talk at the “Y” hut on “Education for the New Civili zation.” “Education must have some voice in selecting our objectives, and in determining the character of our civil organization,” he con tinued. “At the present time edu cators must keep away from the practical application of the knowl edge they teach, because of pre judices and political attitudes.” Dr. Bossing contended that the principal duty of education is to develop proper attitudes, and to overcome the things that control man’s action to such a great ex tent—superstition, prejudice, habit, and emotions. It is not usually recognized, he said, but these things have more effect in deter mining action than has the so called reason of man. “Education has three definite functions to perform in the new civilization,” Dr. Bossing con cluded. “These are to determine our objectives, provide adequate knowledge and technique, and de velop proper motivations, which consist of attitudes and emotional sets.” The sixth meeting of the Y. M. C. A. “New Civilization” series will be next Thursday evening when Dr. John R. Mez will speak on “Nationalism.” SPANISH MAGAZINE HERE A new Spanish motion picture magazine, “Cine - Mundial,” is among the latest magazines on the rack at the University Co-op store.

Show ing for the last time today. Warner Oland at McDonald Charlie Chan solves another one! And this time the mystery is deep er, more involved and more dan gerous than any that the famous Chinese detective has thus far han dled. In “Charlie Chan’s Chance,” starting today at the McDonald for a two-day engagement Warner Oland again uses his wit and his simple philosophy to find the cul prit. He finds himself in New York, on a trip from his home in Ha waii, to study the methods of the metropolitan police force, and is almost immediately cast into the meshes of one of the world’s most baffling mysteries. He watches the police from both New York and London as they operate in the case. Then, stepping in himself, he takes up clues which they did not even consider important, to arrive at the solution. In the cast with Oland are Alex Valentine Orchids Beautiful flowers which will carry your Valen tine greetings .... match her own loveliness with fresh, fragrant flowers . . . . the sweetest Valen tine of all! ... .

Rose Hobart and Charles Bickford plav the featured roles. Bickford is cast as a doctor who seeks to hide from society by losing himself in the depths of a jungle's fastness, because of an unsuccessful mar riage with his former wife* (Rose Hobart). The arrival of Rose, the coolness on the part of Bickford, the covet ousness of the rajah of the district an envious personal maid, erupt ing volcanoes, alligator infested streams, and the lure of native drums make this picture one that appeals to the emotions in a stir ring but delightful manner. * * * “Working Girls" at Rex "Working Girls," is showing for the last time today at the Rex. Paul Lukas, Buddy Rogers and Judith Wood are featured. “Unex pected Father." (oh my) with Slim Summerville and Zasu Pitts star ring will come tomorrow for one day. 1 Music Programs Head Social List For Coming Week Russian Singers, Student Reeital, Colonial Rout On Program 1 As so frequently with the past few months, an outstanding musi-; cal event heads the program for the coming week on the University campus.
