Several affairs at which faculty members will be guests of honor are scheduled for the middle of the week and interest over the weekend will center on the annual Whiskerino Shuffle sponsored by the sophomore class and fraternity formals and semi-formals. * * * At an impressive ceremony at the home of her parents, Elise Burke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Burke of San Mateo, Cali fornia, became the bride of J. Rob ert Hall, son of Mrs. C. C. Hall of Fortland, Saturday night, Febru ary 10. The Rev. Mr. VanHorn of Oakland read the service against a background of torchiers filled with calla lilies and pink gladioli and tall standards of lighted ta pers. * The bride wore a dress of heavy white satin made with long court train and long sleeves and a veil of white tulle. The matron of hon or, Mrs. W.'H. Eckart of Seattle, wore a dress of coral cut velvet with short train and long sleeves. Betty Jane Burke, maid of honor, wore a similar dress of pink cut velvet. A reception followed the ceremony at which friends of the bride assisted. Mr. Hall and his bride attended the University of Oregon, where he is affiliated with Phi Delta Theta, and she with Alpha Chi Omega. * * House Formal Slated Alpha Tau Omega is having its winter formal Saturday evening at the chapter house. Palms, flood lights, and mirrors are to be the decorations, while the programs are to be of blue leather stamped with the house crest. Hay West and his orchestra will furnish music for the event. Patrons and patronesses are Mr. and Mrs. John Stark Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Raymond, and Mr. and Mrs. George Hopkins. Students Entertained Over fifty students of the Wes ley foundation at Oregon State college were guests of the Wesley Brief Musical Number Wins Applause at Hopkins Recital; By J. A. NEWTON A number which could not have been more than two pages in v length captured the fancy of the audience in attendance at the re cital of George Hopkins, profes sor of piano, last night in the mu sic auditorium. That number was “The Hurdy Gurdy Man,’’ by Goo sens. It represents an organ grinder and is full of the wierd mechani cal disharmonies so likely to be heard from a much used grind or gan. The grinder, judging from the music, is first heard in the dis tance. He draws nearer, passes, and his music fades away in the distance. The listeners applauded so en thusiastically when Hopkins com pleted this number that he repeat ed it, much to their delight. At the end of the program, Hop kins played as an encore another modern number, "Golliwog's Cake walk" by Debussy, a number which H hobbles and bumps about as though it had a wooden leg. Other modern, impressionistic numbers by Debussy and Ravel, all in the last group of numbers, proved popular with the audience. In modernistic and impressionis tic music, Hopkins excels. His rendition of “The Hurdy Gurdy Man” was definitely a masterpiece in miniature. The program opened with Schu mann’s “Viennese Carnival c!:!iiliiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiii!i:!iiiiiiiiiiii!i]iiii!i!ii!Uiiiffll«nili!Mii»ini;iiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiaiiiiri | “Say It With Flowers” Valentine Greetings ROSES I VIOLETS | RED TULIPS | SPRING FLOWERS SPECIAL CONTAINERS AXI) FLOWERS— $ 1.00 and $ E50 SEND FLOWERS by WIRE Chase Gardens 64 East Broadway PHONE 1950 iiiiiiiii!ii;;i!"iii!iir!iiiH',!i|1: iii'MM'-’iv;. . ..''

The sec ond group contained' works by Chopin only. In that composers Waltz in A flat Kopkins demonstrated con clusively that another of his musi cal capabilities is the interpreta tion of light, romantic music. The other Chopin numbers were the Nocturne in C sharp minor and the Sonata in B minor. The latter, Hopkins says, is considered one of the larger works for the piano. HERE'S INSIDE DOPE OH SWALLOWING OF EGG (Continued from Page One) low the old woman to enter his car, when he noticed men’s pants cuffs at the bottom of Grandma’s dress. The two drivers of the cars then looked into the basket and found it filled with blackjacks, pis tols, and other forms of arsenal. The author of the copyrighted article gives several versions of the passing motorist episode. He explains that he was brought about to the story, since he had recently received a letter from a New York City youth, who informed him of a girl swallowing what she thought a pearl. The pearl developed to be an octopus egg with the same re : suiting complications as those of the reported case on the University campus. Mr. Woollcott gives variations of the octopus story, and concludes his article with one where the oc topus wasn't an octopus, but a snake. Which all goes to prove that you can’t believe rumors, or as Innocent Bystander would say, "You can’t believe everything you read—or write, for that matter.” And so what ? ‘'Patronize Emerald advertisers.’ i CLASSIFIED Advertisements Kates Payable in Advance 10c a line for first insertion; 5c a line for each additional j insertion.

Scanning the Cinemas McDonald "Design for Liv ing," Miriam Hopkins, Gary Cooper, Fredric March. Colonial—"The Invisible Man," Claude Rains, Gloria Stuart. By J. A. NEWTON Polite Vulgarity The usual motion picture today relies upon sustained interest through situation rather than dia logue. Noel Coward’s dramatic work, however, is on the other track. The clever dialogue in “Design for Living” carries the picture over some rather conven tional situations in a style far above the average dramatic work of the screen. There is, of course, a new angle in one girl falling for two men, biu there is a drop back to the ordinary when she carries on an affair with each man while the other is away. And wlihn they're both present, the three live to gether in companionship, but as per agreement, "no sex.” Wouldn’t it have been much more interesting if the three had lived together without that stipu lation ? But, wonder of wonders, even Noel Coward observes limits. Fredric March turns in his usual finished performance, while Hop kins and Cooper are acceptable. Edward Everett Horton adds an enjoyble half-comic characteriza tion. Director Ernest Lubitch has an interesting bit of atmospheric background sound. The two lads, artists, live in a joint inhabited by other artists, apparently. Piano and violin studies are worked into the background. Imagination Stretcher H. G. Wells, author of "The In visible Man,” carries his moraliz ing characteristic even into this work. The moral of this one seems to be that invisibility is a bit of knowledge in which men should not delve.. One of the important drugs nec essary for the final solution which produces invisibility is a very ter rible juice which gives the par taker an illusion of greatness and power. On this point hinges the action of the play. The Invisible Man finds what things he can do and get away with, and in conjunction with the drug's effects he begins to think he can rule the world. The picture contains a couple of swell murders. The photographic effects are little short of miraculous. Effects such as these could never be achieved on the stage and they are much more vivid than on paper. If for nothing else you should see this because of this clever camera manipulation. Tonight's the last night. Announcement The Russian picture “Frag ments of an Empire" will be shown tonight at the Community Liberal church at 11th and Ferry. Story about shell-shocked man who recovers full senses after years and must adjust himself to the new order. News reel and animated cartoon also.

Control of Radio Will Be Debated By High Schools District Competition in All Parts Of State Will Begin Early This Month The subject for the annual com petition of the Oregon State High School Debating League will be the question, "Whether or not the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control,” an nounced Percy M. Collier, assistant professor of English and secretary of the league, Monday. High schools in all parts of the state start district competition this month. District winners in each of 11 districts are to be determined by March 5, Mr. Collier states. They will then meet to determine the representative finalists from East ern and Western Oregon before April 16. The two winning teams will then meet about May 5 at Corvallis, where they will debate for the state championship over radio station KOAC. Medford high school, which de feated Pendleton last year in the sectional finals, will be defending champion this year. The winning team was composed of Elizabeth and Frances Ferry, with Ralph R.

League Will Have Meet to Prepare Model Ordinance Regulation of Trade Vehicles, City Liquor Control Ordinances Will Be Discussed The Legue of Oregon Cities has called a meeting of city attorneys to discuss the preparation of a model ordinance for the regulation of wholesale trade vehicles. The wholesale trade vehicle or dinances of Forest Grove, McMinn ville and Newberg have recently been held invalid, and the Oregon City ordinance is at the present time being contested in the courts. Threats have been made to seek injunctions against the city offi cials of Gresham and Beaverton. Therefore, officials of the League feel that this is the obvious time for some united action in the framing and adoption of whole sale trade ordinance. It is hoped that the meeting will be able to accomplish something toward the planning and prepara tion of a model liquor control or dinance for cities. Inquiries from several cities indicate that such an ordinance is very much desired as supplementary to the Knox law or as a municipal regulatory or dinance should th: Knox law be declared iiol valid. The meeting will be held in Portland and will convene at ten o'clock this morning, at the Cham ber of Commerce building.
