John Gay’s "Beggar’s Opera”
'T'HE "Beggar’s Opera” tonight and twice tomorrow ought,
by all the omens of the Fates, to be a good show.
First, there is the crying need for such activity on this cam
pus. The student-faculty parties filled a vacant space in campus
life, and were immediate successes. The "Beggar's Opera” is
another instance of such an endeavor. The road shows pass us
by—here’s a group to substitute for them.
Secondly, there is the strong element of gentile hokum in
the activity. Accompanied by the strident fanfare of publicity,
Insinuating its message into every campus activity for the past
month, not even excepting two very dignified student music re
citals, the ancient and bawdy musical show is now known to
everyone. The orthodox publicity campaign in the Emerald's
pages has had many elements of cleverness and readability.
Thirdly, the importation of a witty and wise man to lay for
students and faculty a comprehensive framework of the history,
politics, and personalities in public life at the time of the first
“Beggar’s Opera" presentation (1728) was a shrewd stroke, and
commendable.
Lastly, of course, the cast, setting, and actual performance
will be authentic in detail, entertaining in toto, and deserving
of widespread support. The organic unity of the approach and
attack on the situation is admirable.
The "Beggar’s Opera” will be a good show.
Our Deans and Their Secretaries
rpHE student body of the University should give a vote of
thanks to the secretaries in the various schools and depart
ments of the University for the Herculean tasks they have car
ried out so carefully in the past turbulent year.
First in importance and staggering difficulty was the task
of assembling and typing the several thousand pages of reports
and reviews which were requested by the state board in the
course of its deliberations. Reports of the physical science de
partments ran well over a thousand pages in some instances.
Triplicate copies, tables, footnotes, appendices—real work.
And all the time the regular functions of the departments
had to be carried on. While deans and department heads were
frantically assembling the hundred-page tables required of them,
the secretaries kept the curricular wheels turning. Business as
usual. That there have been no complete nervous breakdowns
is an indication of the strength of the University’s staff.
Let us hope that the peak of their nerve-wracking ordeal is
over. After many an all-night session of dictation and typing,
they deserve a chance to enjoy the weather. Deans, department
heads, secretaries here's to you.
Lawmakers trying to balance the budget are more concerned
with a balance of public opinion than anything else.
He Got A Job
'T'lIK Thursday Emerald carried the best bit of news that ha -
been heard in recent months.
A college student successfully passed his exam for a master's
degree, turned in his thesis, was offered a job, accepted, and
started packing his grip.
For a college student to pass a master’s exam and turn in
his thesis is itself quite a feat. Hut to receive in 1032 an offer
of a job is remarkable.
A month from today several hundred graduates will leave
Eugene to start their lives. How many of them will have job-,
waiting for them? Darn few. How many will still be looking
for jobs next winter? Page Roger Babson.
Congratulations to the he-man geologist who passed his ma -
ter’s exam, handed in his thesis, and got a job.
A radio broadcast will be made in 21 languages Sunday from
St. Peter’s cathedral in Rome. Just a rehearsal of the biblical
Tower of Babel.

I The spirit of 1728 will dominate
the stage of the school of music
j auditorium tonight and students of
1932, persons of this intricate age
of miraculous machines and ad
vancing democracy, will step into
it and live the lives of the charac
ters in one of the greatest comic
operas yet produced, Gay's "Beg
gar’s Opera.” It will be a re
hearsed invasion into that jolly old
world of the early eighteenth cen
tury Englishman. '
The stage which will be used to
night is one that the producer of
a play like the "Shanghai Ges
ture” would not once consider. But
it is one that can be equipped and
set admirably for this early Eng- |
lish classic. Bike George Andrein- j
ni’s "Hamlet” stage, it more close- 1
ly approaches the theatre of its
time. The spirit is what we want.
Expression of the moV>d and crea
tion of emotional alignment by
carefully planted spot lights are
the more important tricks of good
theatre production.
There will be no curtain tonight.
There can be none because no nails
or screws may be driven in the i
walls of the Music building audi
torium. Those who attended a per
formance of Guild Hall’s “Ham- I
let” will remember the complete |
darkness between scenes. This !
same stunt will be used for set
changes tonight. There is no ques
tioning the legitimacy of this trick
(it is accepted).
I see little reason why this show
should not rank high among all
the relative productions of the
1 University's history. The clever
ness of the music is unquestioned.
In all its sparkling sauciness it is
among the best of its type I know.
As for voices to present these
songs a guarantee is provided by a
mere listing of soloists.

Hopkins Students
Play Concertos
In Piano Recital
By J. ALMON NEWTON
The recital of excerpts from
piano concertos presented by five
students of George Hopkins at the
music auditorium last night, again
convinced an audience that Hop
kins students always make a fine
showing.
The technique of Edouise Ballis
taken from the standpoint of finger
strength, and depth of tone and
feeling, was excellent. She played
the familiar first movement from
the Concerto in D-minor by Ru
benstein.
Betty Evanson, who appeared
first, played the Mozart Concerto
in E-flat executing it with care
and accuracy.
Mosjkowski’s Scherzo from the
concerto in E-major allowed Caro
lyn Haberlach opportunities to
demonstrate speed coupled with ac
curacy in a number of intricate
.cross-hand passages.
Edith Grim played two move
ments from the Arensky concerto
in F-minor. Although she did not
have quite the assurance of the
other recitalists, she showed nat
ural talent and developed tech
nique.
Miss Gladys Foster took full ad
vantage of Chopin’s Romanza from
the concerto in E-minor. Her
touch was delicate, yet when the
'score called for power, her nimble
fingers supplied it.
Mr. Hopkins accompanied all the
students on a second piano, giving
them all opportunities to keep the
listener’s ear, and never dominat
ing the performance.

Million People GatKer
For Doumer Funeral
PARIS, May 12.—(AP)—Paul
Doumer, France's assassinated
president, was buried today with
public ceremonials of great majes
ty and impressiveness and with
private rites of the utmost sim
plicity.
A million persons thronged the
streets and squares to watch the
funeral procession pass from Ely
see palace to Notre Dame cathe
dral, where the requiem mass was
sung, and then to the Pantheon
where the dead statesman was
eulogized by Premier Andre Tar
dieu as “the supreme type of dem
ocrat.”
When the public funeral was
over the body was taken from the
Pantheon to the Doumer family
vault at Vaugiarard cemetery.
Only the widow, the one surviv
ing son and other members of the
family took part in the simple
rites at the ceremony.
Gigantic Revenue
Bill Up in Senate
WASHINGTON, May 14—(AP)
— The billion dollar revenue raising
bill was rolled into the senate today
with a call by Majority Leader
Watson for night sessions begin
ning next week to speed its pas

The measure will be taken up
tomorrow and an intent senate lis
tened today to the appeal for speed
on the budget balancing legisla
tion. Watson asked the senate to
work for an adjournment by June

Blunt notice of a bitter fight to
