Famous Old'Beggar’s Opera’
Will Be Staged Here in May
By S. STEPHENSON SMITH 1
The “Beggar's Opera’’ will be
presented in the middle of May, by
an all-campus cast. This famous
comic opera by John Gay, first
performed in 1728, has had a re
markable theatrical history. It
had a long London run when it was
first given. It was played more
frequently in the Colonies than any
other play, and was often seen by
Washington and Jefferson. But it
really came into its own, as a
hardy perennial, just after the
world war, when it was revived
by Nigel Playfair in the Lyric the
atre at Hammersmith with set
tings by Claude Lovat Fraser. It
ran seven years, longer than
“Abie's Irish Rose”; and it is still
running in the provinces. There
were at one time three American
companies on the road. But no
matter how often it is given, it
always plays to crowded houses.
Old habitues in London went every
week; and if you have seen it
once, you will go again whenever
you have the chance.
What is the peculiar quality
which gives the “Beggar's Opera”
this drawing power? It is the
combination of broad robust com
edy with lyric grace in the songs.
Who could forget the strongly
marked character parts of
Peachum, the old fence; Mrs. Pea
chum, his startling wife; Mac
Heath, the gentleman highway
man, whose motto is “I must have
women”; the melting, gracious
Polly Peachum; the melodramatic,
dangerous Lucy Lockit, daughter
of the Newgate jailer, Mr. Lockit
of the heavy tread; Filch, the
cockney pickpocket, with his sly
ways; the eight doxies, huzzies,
jades, trulls — choose your own
r
term; and the eight sinister high
waymen of MacHeath’s gang, who
roar out:
Fill ev'ry glass
For wine inspires us and fires us |
with courage, love and joy.
Women and wine should life em-1
ploy.
Is there aught else on earth de
sirous?
Fill ev’ry glass
For wine inspires us and fires us
with courage, love and joy.
The cast of principals is as fol
lows :
MacHeath . Gifford Nash
Peachum . Guy Wernham
Mrs. Peachum Sally Addleman
Polly Peachum .Grace Burnett
Lockit . Carl Klippel
Lucy Lockit . Agnes Petzold
Filch . S. Stephenson Smith
Jemmy Twitcher .... Gene Pearson
Drawer . Bob Guild
The players of the prologue are
not yet chosen; nor are the mem
bers of MacHeath’s gang, and the
chorus of women of the Town, who
will dance and sing in a variety of
very animated numbers. The prin
cipals have been rehearsing for
some time, and are making good
headway on the dialogue and ac
tion, under the direction of Mrs.
Dorathi Bock Pierre, who has had
a great deal of experience in New
York theatre, both as actress and
dancer.
The “Beggar’s Opera” is spon
sored by the Faculty club and a
small group of patrons who are
interested in comic opera, 18th
century period music and drama—
and chiefly in giving the Eugene
and the University one lively
musical show during the spring
season.
SENATE DEBATES TARIFF
MEASURES OF BILL
(Continued from Page One)
out of the measure. They con-'
tended success was in sight.
As approved by the house the
bill calls for new import duties on
oil and coal. Others are pending.
Senator Gore (D., Okla.), was the
author of the motion rejected by
the committee.
Mills called for the elimination
of “punitive business taxes” put
into the measure on the house
floor. He pointed to Levies on gas
oline, electricity and gas and
checks and drafts as illustrations
of the levies he favored to make
up the difference in revenue after
eliminating the “punitive” taxes.
He refused flatly the requests of
Democratic members to take a po
sition for or against the tariff im
posts in the revenue bill.
The treasury head offered the
committee full support on the rev
enue bill and a spirit of bi-partisan
cooperation was evident.
In contrast, however, the war
between President Hoover and con
gressional Democrats over ways
of making a $200,000,000 cut in
expenses gained fury as Democrats
assailed the president from the
floor and demanded a bill of par
ticulars from him.
LUMBER HEARING SET
PORTLAND, April 6.—(AP) —
Word was received here today that
the senate finance committee has
set April 15 as the date for opening
hearings on a proposal to include
in the revenue bill now before con
gress an import tax of $5 a thous
and feet on Canadian and Russian
lumber.
18 Out of 20 Brazilian
States Show Deficits
RIO DE JANEIRO, April 6.—
(AP)—A government commission,
undertaking a study of the finan
cial condition of Brazilian states,
today found deficits in 18 of the
country's 20 states and loans
which it regarded as "scandalous.”
Newspapers published figures in
dicating that the foreign debts in
15 states totaled $309,000,000. The
annual interest on these debts to
tals more than $30,000,000.

Pre-Law Students
Plan Organization i
■ At First Meeting
Hunter Heads Committee;
Confidehce Expressed
By Dean Morse
Steps toward organization of pre
legal student association were tak
en yesterday when men enrolled
in pre-legal courses met in room
209 Oregon for the first of a se
ries of conferences planned for the

spective classes on the committee
in charge.
Wayne L. Morse, dean of the
law school, expressed confidence
in the action which the pre-legal
men have taken in the forming of
the association.
"Such an association will bring
the pre-legal students into closer
contact with the law school,” said
Dean Morse, “and through it many
problems which confront the fresh
man law student can be solved.
The committee chosen by the un
derclass lawyers will release a list
of resolutions early next week, it
was reported last night, and def
inite organization will be under
way at once.

Marsh, Jimmy Dunn, and Sally

First nighter.
By J. A. NEWTON
Farrell at McDonald
Although we miss Janet Gaynor
opposite Charles Farrell, Marian
Nixon as leading lady in “After
Tomorrow,” closing its engage
ment at the McDonald tonight,
takes the place very nicely.
Farrell, needless to say, per
forms in such a manner that you
can't help liking him. Always
faithful to the girl, he never fal
ters under the constant encourage
ment of an easy-to:get blond.
We are inclined to give acting
honors to William Collier Sr., and
Minna Gombel, who play the par
ents of the girl, Collier as the un
derstanding, kindly, but unsuccess
ful father, and Miss Gombel as a
mother bitter against her daugh
ter and husband because of the
drab surroundings in which she
lives.
Obstacles faced by the two young
lovers trying to save up enough
money to have a good wedding and
get a start on the bumpy road of
matrimony are the motivation of
thg tale. Mamma leaves home,
papa gets sick, and the boy does
n’t get the doubled pay-check. All
this takes money out of the “wed
ding fund,” and there you are. It
goes on for four years.
Friday will see the opening of
“Polly of the Circus” with Marion
Davies and Clark Gable, and a
noted troupe of aerial artists
known as the “Flying Codonas.”
“Breath-taking feats” are pro
duced by these two, according to
reports from Seattle.
Tenor in Facility Show
There are no indifferent audienc
es when John McCormack sings.
In concert, his magnificent voice
holds his listeners spellbound. In
“Song O’ My Heart,” the faculty
club movie showing at the Colonial
this afternoon, the eleven songs he
sings are blended into a well-plot
ted story that sparaies wun jrisn
wit.
Maureen O'Sullivan, who plays
the part of Eileen, the daughter of
the woman whom McCormack
(Sean O'Carolan) loves, was a
“find” indeed. She and Tommy
Clifford, her 11-year-old brother
in the picture, were both discov
ered by Borzage, the director, in
Ireland.
Alice Joyce is Mary O’Brien, the
girl whose aunt opposes her en
gagement to Sean and forces her
into an unhappy marriage with a
rich man who finally deserts her
and their two children. The inter
fering aunt gives the three a home,
but only the timely aid of Sean,
who be'comes a great, concert sing
er, keeps her from wrecking the
lives of Eileen and young Tad.
John Garrick has the role of
Fergus O'Donnell, Eileen’s sweet
heart. J. M. Kerrigan and Farrell
Macdonald, as a pair of Irish cron
ies, carry on a comic and perpet
ual warfare in rolling Irish brogue.
Lucas Show Leaving
Paul Lucas and Eleanor Board
man in “Women Love Once” will
present their arguments for the
last time this evening at the Co
lonial.
* * *
Dunn, Ellers at Rex
Jimmy Dunn and Sally Eilers
appear once more together in
“Over the Hill.” Much praise has
been meted out to Mae Marsh in
this story as the mother who is
unwanted by her children.

Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Mary
Brian in “It’s Tough to Be Fam
