Supernatural Style
'pHERE is one dominant mood
in "Death Takes a Holiday,”
and that is the feeling that there is
a. shadow hovering over all the
characters. Death himself is first
introduced as a transparent black
shadow, and by clever directorial
devices the shadowy presence is
never dispelled, though Death as
sumes the appearance of a human
being.
Briefly' this is the story of
Death’s three-day holiday from his
usual duties. He wonders why
men fear him and why they act
in such pointless ways. He finds
out when he meets Evelyn Ven
i able. He realizes why men feai
! him as liis time draws to a close
The girl, who loves him also
has. to decide whether she will gc
with him or stay.
The musical background i;
beautifully worked in with Ij'.e
action of the picture, and is excel
lently recorded, as well as bein^
fine music.
Frederic March, is as usual, prac
tically perfect in the role. Evelyr
Venable is charming as the gib
with misty eyes and the strange
quiet ways.
"Merry Wives of Reno" is a
galloping farce built around the
Nevada divorce trade. Present?
three couples who have marital
troubles and decide to take the
Reno cure.
Frankenstein and Dracula
The scene of the action in “The
Elack Cat" is a modernistic castle
built on the site of a former fort
ress. The background is quite
effective, especially when the ac
tion shifts to the intricate concrete
cellars under the place.
Some of- the shots during this
part of the show are artistic and
clever.
Famous Actors Recalled by
Players in Shakespeare Act
Of all Shakespeare's heroines
Katharine the Shrew probably has
the most unbroken record of ex
istence since the author’s own day.
She has always been a favorite
with comediennes, but often a tra
gedienne. Mrs. Siddons, for exam
ple, indulged herself in a farcical
"fling."
In Shakespeare's day the role of
the Shrew was played by a boy,
but most great actresses from the
famous Kitty Clive down have in
cluded the Shrew in their reper
toires. From the days of David
Garrick to the end of the 19th
century the acted version was not
that, now attributed to Shake
speare, but a much shortened ver
sion called Katharine and Petru
chio, arranged by Garrick for his
own use.
We find innumerable famous
names attached to this play: Otis
Skinner, Edwin Booth. Fanny Dav
enport, Macreddy, Kemble, and
Clara Morris. But three especial
ly famous pairs of players to un
dertake these famous roles are El
len Terry and Henry Irving, Ada
Rehan and John Drew, and most
recently withdrawn from the stage,
LIGHT food is the kind that
w ill keep the brain in action.
So start the day with
Kellogg’s Rice Krispies.
Those crisp, crunchy rice
bubbles with milk or cream
appeal to the taste and fur
nish energy you need.
Rice Krispies at lunch are
also ideal. Won’t bog you
down. And at the end of the
day — when hungry and
tired—-Rice Krispies satisfy
the appetite and promote
sound sleep.
Ask for Kellogg’s Rice
Krispies at your campus
restaurant, fraternity house
or eating club. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Creek.
Listen!—
Julia Marlowe and E. H. Sothern.
Of all these Ada Rehan is conced
ed to have been the finest Kathar
ine. In 1887 as members of Augus
tin Daly’s famous company in New
York, she played the role with
John Drew as Petruchio and Otis
Skinner as Lucentio.
Julia Marlowe and E. H. Sothern
kept the play in their repertoire
until their withdrawal from the
stage about six years ago. Since
then no famous actors have been
doing it with any regularity. It
was, however, produced recently in
New York in modern dress with
Mary Ellis as the Shrew. This
novel treatment of the story lent
special point to many of the well
known scenes, especially that in
which master and man exchange
garments. Of course Shakespeare’s
own company always played in
“modern dress.”
It also holds a “first” in the
realm of cinema. A few years ago
Mary Pickford and Douglas Fair
banks presented a spectacular film
version. No other Shakespearean
play has as yet been undertaken
on the screen.
With these many famous actors
and actresses to spur them on,
Virginia Wappenstein and Bill
Schloth will undertake these two
roles in the University production
of the “Taming of the Shrew,” to
be given on the campus May 25
and 26. Both players have been
very active in the theater this year.
They are playing together for the
first time. Virginia, whose versa
tility will be tested by this new
role, appeared last as Marcella, the
mischievous nun in “Cradle Song."
Bill Schloth appeared as Antonio
in the same play, and earlier in the
year he appeared as the exuberant
lover in a Chinese Fantasy. Later
he portrayed the role of Agmar,
leader of the beggars in “Gods of
the Mountain.”

Learning
Things
Children aren’t taught words by syllables
any more, but by their meanings. 1 hey
learn it’s the use of a word that counts—
not merely its pleasing sound.
When you buy, you know it’s the use of
a product that counts, not merely its pleas
ing sound. You can learn its uses and all
it means—before you buy. If you read the
advertisements, you know definitely how
a certain refrigerator will act in your own
kitchen; how that furniture polish will
improve your own chairs. What is adver
tised has to do what it’s advertised to do.
Advertisements are honest. They invite
too many thousands of testers not to be
honest. Their continued advertising proves
them honest! You take advertised facts
on faith—as you take the dictionary on
faith. You know that the perfume, hosiery,
canned goods they describe are the per
fumes, hosiery, canned goods widely en
joyed. You read advertisements to know
the true meaning of things before you in
vest in their use.

HELLO TO OREGON MOTHERS,'

over with a colossal bang. Show 'em a time! Show ’em the

This is your chance to show Mother “that darling dress” and
to get the long desired permanent wave over with which you’ll
wear the,perky new hat.
INCOMPARABLE —
The answer to a college maiden's prayer is the complete
line of correct campus clothes that you will find at THE AN
GELINE DRESS SHOP for only $1.98. They are all strictly
Lailored in other words the most important fashions for cam
pus wear and their variations make them more exciting than
anything Sue has seen in ages. You'll like their white piques
with just lhat correct tailored trim that is so necessary for
campus wear. For active sports you'll want one of the three
piece outfits of shorts, skirt and blouse. If you don’t swim and
want to tan get one of their clever sun suits. And will you
“oh!” and “ah” over the grand boucle suits for only $10. Don't
miss a bargain like this.
’ROUND THE “SIDE” —
Strike up Lombardo's band in commemoration of Pin Plant
ing Week. Those who have entered pin hanging entanglements
at the Fiji dive, are JEFF HOWARD on MARIAN MILLER,
DIuK MEAKS on MARYANN SKIRVING, and TOM AUGHIN
BAUGH on DOT ANN CLARK-- And why did JACK THORNE
look like a mere shadow >01 his former self Thursday morning?
WELDON ROSS looks awfully smooth in tricky linen pants
and a gray bi-swing sweater MARY JANE JENKINS looked
grand in a rose colored corded wool spring suit with a white
blouse What’s this we hear about MIKE PINKSTAFF?
What has been puzzling Sue and the rest of the femmes is
why FRED (tennis champ) FISHER was buying a dress in
one of the local dress shops——•
BE HAIR CONSCIOUS! --
Wear your hair to fit your personality. Expert advice
for your own individual type is available at MILL’S BEAUTY
STUDIO. Surely you don’t want to be one of the stereotypes
seen at every gathering. Be individual ! Wear your hair ac
cording to the. demands of your personality. You’ll have a
brand new collegiate dash or a strikingly sophisticated air or
demure waves,, according to your type if you will only consult
MILL’S Studio experts who specialize in waves with a person
ality and facials that invigorate, relax and sooth tired co-ed
nerves. You'll love their permanent waves for $3.50 and $5.

TOP NOTCHERS -
You'll see hats and what wonderful hats! Where? At
Ihe E. HEIDEL HAT SHOP of course. This is an important
message! Spring 1934, is keyed to excitement. So are the
wonderful new hats you may see here. Judging from the grand
straws and silks and lacy weaves spring zephyrs are surely
blowing chic-ward! Amongst the various straw fabrics found
here, almost any weave taste can be satisfied. Brims are
obligingly almost any width, though generally not too gener
ous for these early spring days. And have they been dipped
and tilted to emphasize good facial points. These fetchin' hats
all have a follow-me-lad air. Now, how about a hat for
Mother? Discard the old gray bonnet with the little ribbons
on it, and get one of the new black Milan straws with a perky
three tone ribbon trim in back. Just that correct touch for
our modern Mothers.
ARE YOU READY? ~
Of course you've heard about the perfect new rubber bath
ing suits at H. Gordon’s, but have you seen them? If you are
economy conscious you’ll grab at. this chance. They are only
$2.75, and are they grand! They look like a million, fit like a
million and are style personified. You have no idea how they
look ’til you’ve tried one on. They come in the loveliest shades
as mandarin, sunflower, white, and two shades of blue. Then
for those unmentionables! Vanity Fair Taffie undies are the
very last word. They are perfect fits and absolutely do not
show under tight fitting formats. The proper foundation for
lovely spring outfits and at very reasonable prices. Then for
campus wear don’t miss the dress specials for $7.95. They are
ribbed wash silks in the snappiest styles and colors and with
awfully swank novelty trims. Mother will know they are just
the thing for campus wear, to say nothing of daughter. The
perfect dress for teeing off at. 8:00 or teaing up at 5:00.
HEY, HEY! —
If you are a smart young thing you will learn how to brush
your curls up and backwards, as if you were facing a strong
wind. To learn the newest modes of hair styles make an ap
pointment at the SUPERCUKUNE PERMANENT WAVE
SHOPPE. They have perfectly grand specials on permanents
now. Don’t miss this your one great chance, and with Mother
here too. Regular $3.00 permanent waves are $1.98 and regular
$5.00 waves, for fine and white hair, for only $3.00. For Junior
Week-end surely you’ll want a 35c manicure and d shampoo
and finger wave for 50c. Marcels are only 50c too. Come on,
gals, and bring your Mother too, and get all fixed up for this
festive week-end.
