Symphony Orchestra Wins Applauseof Large Audience By JANET FITCH Three thousand people cheered Willem van Hoogstraten and the Portland Symphony orchestra at the close of their program Sunday afternoon. All four numbers were applauded again and again. The coming of the Symphony to Eu gene, judged by the spontaneous appreciation of the audience, was the musical event of the year. Orchestra and conductor func tioned as a unit and yet neither was overwhelmed by the other. Aside from the musical value of the performance, the pictorial qual ities alone were superb. Flashing of violin bows all together, the gleaming of horns and flutes, the rhythmic ripple that runs through an orchestra when it is playing excellently, something it likes— and in the center of the stage, Mr. Van Hoogst;raten, writing, with his masterly baton, the immense poem that is music. His conduct ing, regarded as pure gesture, is as well worth seeing as hearing. Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3 and Debussy’s "Prelude, Af ternoon of a Fawn” contested two sorts of tone poems; the mellowed and dignified harmony of Beetho ven's time with the surging waves of sound characteristic of Debussy. It is interesting to reflect that Beethoven as well as Debussy was I regarded as blasphemously mod ern and new-fangled in his day — | and now both are receding gently into the Olympian twilight that hovers around the "classical” com poser. The Dances from Borodin’s op era "Prince Igor” were full of Rus sian dash and color. Four units were bound together by the strange swaying theme of one of them, repeated again and again by strings, brasses, or woodwins, and gaining poignancy each time. Tschaikowsky’s immense Fourth Symphony, “F” minor, with its four movements, alternated great dynamic progressions with delicate tone sketches up to the crashing finale which tore from the audi ence wave after wave of applause.

Positively no discrimination be tween classes will be made.” The court is to meet once a week for the judging of reported offenders. A weekly list of those required to appear before the group will be published in the Emerald. A complete record will be kept of the court proceedings, and of offenders appearing before it, Evans announced. DEAN NAMED PRESIDENT Dr. S. V.

By RALPH MASON Dietrich at McDonald Josef von Sternberg earns an other laurel for his directorial crown in his direction of "Shang hai Express,” starring Marlene Dietrich and Clive Brook. Dietrich plays her part, "Shanghai Lily,” well, as does Brook. Warner Ol land plays an important part but he is not up to his usual standard although he causes some tense scenes. The fine direction closely rivals the acting in the picture for high honors. As the title indicates the story concerns itself with the “Shanghai Express,” its cargo of motley hu manity, and its eventful trip to Shanghai from Peiping. Scenes of the station, the laden pullmans, armored cars and the comical sit uation when a cow halts every thing, are well handled. Marlene Dietrich, the One of the Wandering Eyes, plays her role as a Lady with a Past in creditable and enjoyable style. She is allur ing in her own way and this time she gets her man. Clive Brook, playing the part of a British sur geon relies too much 01 his good looks. Anna May Wong is just as aloof as ever. Warner Oland ap pears to be merely a genial Chi Marlene Dietrich, who is starring in “Shanghai Express,” which is showing for the last time today at the McDonald theatre. nese merchant but—he isn't. Eu gene Pallette, happy playboy gam bler, adds a comical touch as does a snappy sentimental little old lady with a pet doggie and a curled wig. Action is continuous' and fast moving, with intermissions now and then for bandits to hold up the train—and for Dietrich to make j love. An interesting newsreel shows some of the latest scenes from the Shanghai battle zone and the win ner of the European beauty con test. A travelogue showing unus ual scenes of geysers and volcanoes completes the bill. “Broken Lullaby,” with Phillips Holmes, Nancy Carroll and Lionel Barrymore, comes to the McDon ald screen tomorrow for two days. “Broken Lullaby,” is taken from the famous stage play, “The Man I Killed.” * * * Dime Night at Colonial Charlres Rogers is the leading man in “Road to Reno” which is playing tonight only at the Colon ial as the Dime Night attraction. iV double bill consisting of "Once i Lady,” featuring Ruth Chatter ton, and "Pardon Us,” starring Laurel and Hardy, comedians, comes tomorrow for two days.
