Mrs. Seybolt Will Play iff
In Dramatic Production
Pat rons of the University theatre
in the forthcoming- revival of Sher
idan’s 18th century comedy, “The
Rivals’’ will see the portrayal of
the vain, eccentric Mrs. Malaprop,
an “old weather-beaten she-cirag

Otillie Turnbull Seybolt, head of
the drama division of the Univer
sity, who is directing “The Rivals,”
will also play this leading role.
Although Mrs. Seybolt does not

in Guild hall productions since last
spring. She played in Wilde’s “The
Importance of Being Earnest” and
the tragic mother in Ibsen’s
"Ghosts,” both summer theatre
productions at the University.
The setting and costumes of
“The Rivals” are those of the ele
gant sophisticated period in Eng
land just prior to the American
revolution. The play had its debut
in London at the famed Convent
Garden theatre in 1775 and has ever
since been an international favor
ite both with actors and audiences.
Many famous players have played
the roles of Bob Acres, Sir Anthony
Absolute or Mrs. Malaprop, among
them Joseph Jefferson, Mrs. John
Drew and Mrs. Minnie Maddern
Fiske.
"The Rivals” will open on the
campus for a two night engage
ment, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, January 15 and 16, be
ginning with a special Wednesday
matinee for high school students.
On Friday a troupe of about fifteen
will leave for Ashland where "The
Rivals” will be presented at the
Southern Oregon Normal school
that evening, January 17. A mat
inee performance will be given Sat
urday before returning to Eugene.
Tickets for the play, which will
be popularly priced, will go on sale
this week at the theatre box office
in Johnson hall.

Wild Deeds of Paul Bunyan
Written by Oregon Woman
By BETTY BROWN
Paul Bunyan, hero, demi-god,
and super-jack of the lumber camp,
is the subject of further research
being done by Miss Ida V. Turney,
formerly of the English department
of the University of Oregon and at
present a visitor in Eugene. She
expects to publish another book on
the subject in a few months.
Miss Turney has been collecting
the tales of Paul’s exploits for 15
years, her first publication on the
subject having been “Paul Bunyan
Comes West,” the first collection of
Paul Bunyan stories to appear in
separate form. These tales passed
by word of mouth from generation
to generation, grew out of the lives
of the rugged calk-shoed giants in
the big woods.
These legends have been woven
into the history of familiar land
marks, the rivers, mountains, val
leys, and forests of Oregon. Miss
Turney’s first work put into narra
tive form these weird tales which
were collected by members of her
English classes in folklore here at
the University. The book was pub
lished by the University Press under
the direction of Dean Allen in 1920.
The excellence of the workman
ship on this book aroused interest
which resulted in the establishment
of the John Henry Nash Fine Arts
Press as a part of the University
Press. The first copy of the book
is now in the possession of Oswald
Garrison Villard, according to Miss
Turney.
The University of Oregon has
still another reason for being in
terested in Paul's exploits, for it is
the only school which, according to
legend, has the honor of having
been founded by Paul Bunyan.
This happening, as describe/d in
Miss Turney’s first book, came
about in the following fashion.
It seems that Paul could neither
read nor write so when he sent for
anything at the store he drew a
picture of it. One day he sent for a
grindstone and the storekeeper
misinterpreted the picture, sending
back a cheese. Right then and there
Paul decided he was going to have
Racing for the Front Lines
A picture on the Ethiopian battle fields shows Halle Selassie's regulars taking up positions as they near the front ranks.
a University. And the University
of Oregon was the result.
Miss Turney’s present research
also includes a critical study of va
rious forms of art dealing with
Paul Eunyan. “The finest exam
ple of any form of art dealing with
Paul Bunyan is the group sculp
tured by Oliver Barrett of the Uni
versity of Oregon school of fine
arts,” Miss Turney said.
Another notable work, Miss Tur
ney continued, is the cartoon by
Quincey Scott appearing from
time to time in the Oregonian. A
recent one shows Paul and Babe, the
Blue Ox, contemplating Uncle
Sam building Bonneville Dam. As
Paul watches he throws out the
challenge: “Me an’ Babe dug this
ol, Columbia channel in a couple o’
hours, Sam. Le’ssee how long it
takes you to fill it up.”
Other works of art depicting
Paul which Mis,s Turney praises
are the murals dorie by Kenneth
Callahan, for the Seattle museum
of art, and the murals in the Paul
Bunyan room of the University of
Wisconsin done by James Watrous.
Born in a lumbering town near
Chippewa Falls, Miss Turney first
heard of the mighty deeds of Paul
from the old-time lumberjack. She
has spent much time collecting
tales of Paul’s exploits from aged
survivors of the early days who
witnessed these great happenings,
not only in Oregon, but in the lum
bering states of Wisconsin, Minne
sota, Illinois, and Michigan.
Paul still lives, Miss Turney ex
plained. He is the spirit of crude
labor, and is plainly visible to all
who look for him in the right man
ner. Perhaps Miss Turney will re
late some of Paul’s more recent
deeds when she takes up her pen
again on behalf of that doughty
fellow.
