Drama High-Light
Jjj^VEN in the lives of tho.se of us who carry
our emotions lightly it is probably safe
to assume that there have been both the
capacity and the occasion to have felt deeply;
there has been in the experience of most of
us a time—perhaps only a few moments—
when a deep feling or a high thought lifted
life into the sublimity of another sphere.
It is around such an occurence that the
play, “The Shining Hour/’ centers. It deals
with a love that is intense and fine, but cir
cumstances thwart its fulfillment. Those min
utes, however, when (lie flash of insight into
beauty came to two persons—they were their
shining hour.
It, will be an audience sympathetic and
understanding which attends the Guild Hall
performances of this play when it opens in
the University theatre next Friday night.
That audience can be assured it will witness
a presentation done in all-around professional
style, and it may itself contribute to this ef
fect by appearing in the traditional formal
first-night clothes.
Ottilie T. Heybolt, and Horace W. Robin
son of the drama department are conscient
iously offering a good show, well done, as
the high light of the winter term plays. It
will be worth seeing.
Highly Social Purpose
jyjENS sana in corpora sano-—a solmd mind
iji a sound body—is a worthy ideal for
a university to promote anion;' its students;
but, as applied in tin1 usual university gym
nasium, it is an ideal the effect of which goes
no further than among the actual participants
in bodily development on the campus.
No such short-ranged ideal is that which
Dean Uovard holds for Oregon’s new physical
education plant, which presents many years
of planning on the part of his staff and him.
For Dean liovard subscribes to the new vision
which the more enlightened of the nation’s
directors of physical education are upholding
— sound minds in sound bodies for the people
in general, not merely for those who are so
fortunate as to receive a higher education.
# # *
rJ'MlK 1’niversity school of physical educa
tion is not only to balance with strong
bodies the minds which other departments of
instruction arc enlightening, but it is to train
young men in the methods of bodily develop
ment that they might carry the ideal of the
sound body among all ranks of the people.
That this is an ideal, of course, which the
school of physical education has held much
■.longer than since the construction of the
new gym; but never until tlie new big plant
was erected on University street was the pro
per fulfillment of that ideal possible. It was
too ambitious for the school’s facilities.
* * #
J^OW, however, the University has a new
gymnasium, constructed with that high
ly social purpose especially in mind; and,
though we make no exuberant prediction of a
magical transformation in the physical con
dition of Oregon’s population, still we are
certain that the University's school of phys
ical education will exert a widespread bene
ficial influence in time to come,

Men and Nations
By HOWARD KESSLER
What do you know about Adolf Hitler?
If you remember that he was born in 1889,
served as a corporal in the First World War, was
the seventh member of the German National So
cialist Labor party, and on January 31, 1933,
became Chancellor of the Third Reich, you’re hit
ting par along with the experts of history, soci
ology, economics, biography and penny-ante poker.
The remainder of his career is in doubt, and
unless he keeps a diary, which no dictator should
ever do, will continue in doubt for many years.
Beside me are two biographies: "Hitler,” by
Rudolf Olden, a German newspaperman now in
exile, and "Germany’s Hitler,” by Heinz A. Heinz,
a volume I purchased in Berlin.
Are you with me?
Heinz: “Adolf was lightning quick at school, j
and learned with astonishing facility.”
Olden: “Adolf failed to pass out of the first
class and had to go through the whole course
again.”
# * *
Red Hot Hitler
Heinz: “He was a boy of flaming euthusiasm
and all-devouring intelligence. His keen study of
the Franco-Prussian war and his intelligent inter
est in history made him thoroughly conversant
with the politics of Middle Europe throughout the
preceding century.”
Olden: “Idleness and incompetence soon grow.
The tasks of the higher school may have been too
much for tho small intellect of a child who got
no help at home. He became lazy, shy, ill-tem
pered and morose. He built himself a dream world j
which he furnished with the few Imre intellectual ■
elements he had really assimilated.”
Heinz: “ ‘We all liked him, at desk and at play. 1
He was no more hefty than the rest of us, but an
enterprising little chap. He had “guts.” The whole
class acknowledged this boy as the leader.1 ”
Olden: “The children in the village called Adolf
‘daft’ because of a strange habit he had. He used
to preach without seeming to require an audience.
He was fond, too, of climbing a hill near the vil
lage, on which two fruit trees stood; there he
used to speak to non-existent meetings.”
# # #
Drawing Power
Heinz: “One or two of Adolf's drawings rather
seemed to take the master’s fancy.
“ 'Hra, not bad! Not at all bad!’
"A scrutiny, a pause . . . more sketches turned
over . . . then came a sharp bespectacled glance
into the candidate's anxious anil eager face.
“‘Where have you studied architecture
" ‘Nowhere,’ Adoll' was obliged to own, ‘I've
not had any lessons.’
“The examiner seemed loath to credit it. Turn
ing over yet more sketches with an approving
eye, he insisted:
"‘You mean to tell me that you were never
in a school of building?’
“ ‘No,’ repeated Adolf, 'Never.'
“Tiie professor shrugged his shoulders disap
pointedly. ‘That’s unfortunate,' lie said, 'I'm
afraid there's nothing to be done then, here. This
is no place for beginners. You must try elsewhere
. . . get some groundwork in first.’ "
Olden: “It is true that young Adolf Hitler did
not shrink from applying for admission to the
Academy, and not merely once. His name appears
in the Classifications Liste for 1907 and 190S. i
On (lie first occasion, we find the words: ‘Test
drawing below standard’ added. \f the second
attempt, he did not even get this far. The com
ment was: ‘Not admitted to the test'; lie was
known by this time.’’

\ N issue of the daily Prince
^^-tonian contains this:
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went
She took the bus.
May I say Mary is welcome to
all the busses she is able to lay her
small, lilly-white hands on. With
in the last month I traveled not
less than 1200 miles aboard one
of the things. What’s more, I don’t
care if there are those who have
traveled 12 million miles on one of
'em in the last three days. Mary
can still have them, for all o’ me.
The great yellow racy job was
scheduled to move out at 10:40
one night. It got under way at
10:51), even as the curtain on
‘Tonight at 8:30” probably rises
promptly at 8:50. There is ab
solutely no connection between
Noel Coward ’s recent money
maker and my trip on the bus,
so don’t look for any.
At any rate , the crate
screeched down the street for
about haif a block and stepped
at a service station for twenty
minutes while the driver and
the attendant chewed the fat.
The passengers chewed their
nails. According to the schedule
we had been on the road for
forty minutes, and we were ex
actly one-lialf block from where
we started. The speed of mod
ern transportation. . .heigh-ho.
Not the least attractive feature
of a trip such as this is the differ
ence in fellow passengers one
meets. On the way south, for in
stance, the gentleman sitting next
me said a total of three words. The
first was ‘yes,” the second was
“no,” and the third I wasn’t right
sure about. I think it was "naw"
tho. This during the course of
some twenty-two consecutive
hours of bussing it. (Bussing in the
other sense.) You can readily see
the advantages.
a fMUi timt or tne boys was a
^-gentleman who was, I should
judge, approaching the octogen
arian stage. He was a dodderer and
far be it from rne to jest about old
age. But it seems he had set his
heart on seeing the bay bridge be
tween San Francisco (called
“Frisco” in the outer reaches, 1
find) and Oakland.
We came, on the evening of
the second day, to another and
smaller bridge crossing an arm
of the bay, some distance from
the bay bridge. At this point my
oldster friend, having no one
sitting next him at the moment
(his seat partner bad last been
seen chasing a red haired lady
in Weed), leaned forward and
said:
"Is this that there eight-mile
bridge ?”
“What eight mile bridge was
that, Colonel?” 1 flipped.
"That there eight-mile bridge
over Frisco bay,” he quavered.
“Oh,” I said. "No, this here’s an
other bridge.”
"Oh, this is thuh eight-mile
bridge, huh?” the old gentleman
said, delighted.
"NO!” I bellowed. “This is three
other bridges.”
My old friend looked at me
dubiously, slowly turned his gaze

TODAY’S ATTRACTIONS
MCDONALD: “Come and Get
It” and “Can This Be Dixie?”
HEILIG: “Mysterious Cross
ing” and “Undercover Man.”
STATE: “Oh, Susanna,” and
“Special Investigator.”
REX: “Come and Get It” and
“Can This Be Dixie?”
MAYFLOWER: “I’d Give My
Life.”
"Mysterious Crossing" at the
Heilig, starring James Dunn and
featuring Jean Rogers and Andy
Devine, is an oft-told story of a
newspaper reporter solving mys
terious disappearances and helps
to prevent a tremendous fraud.
For much action and excitement,
you can't go very far wrong on
this one. The other attraction on
the bill is “Undercover Man" fea
turing John Mack Brown, former
all-American football player.
“Come and Get It” written by
Edna Ferber, famous., author., of
“Cimarron,” “Showboa t” and
many other successes, brings us a
rattier colorful picture of life in
a lumber camp. Edward Arnold,
the film’s star rises from a lowly
chore boy around the camp to a
big lumber baron in a period of
twenty years. Frances Farmer,
the former University of Washing
ton coed, uho is making a quick
assent to stardom, is the feminine
attraction. She has the difficult
out the window, returned it to me,
settled back in his seat.
“Well, this is pretty dura nice
bridge, young feller,” he clinched
the argument triumphantly.
Us on a bus—with music, and
stuff.
Edward Salutes Queen Mary
While Ihc world awaited liis action, the Duke oi Windsor, King 1-Jd
i.ird the laghth when this picture was taken, saluted his mother with
its customary respectful gesture.
i
task of filling two roles, that of j
the mother and her daughter.
Hard enough for anybody to do!'
Joel McCrea has the other leading
part. “Can This Be Dixie?”
starring Jane Withers, although
not too strong a production has
music and laughs that will un
doubtedly appeal to many.
* * *
Rather an exicting feature is the
one at the State today, “Special
Investigator” in which Richard
Dix is starred as one who seeks to
avenge the death of his brother
and then falls in love with the
sister of the murderer. Gene Au
try, the singing cowboy, is featured
in “Oh, Susanna,” the accompany- j
ing attraction.

Sir Guy Standing, who has given
many outstanding performances

BACK STAGE: Did Jimmy
Fiddler refer to the late Boss Alex
who was found dead on Jan. 2,
when he said that he found in the

to be “buried in the backlot of my
studio where I have been buried
for the last two years?” Bather
bitter sentiment. . .but we have
enjoyed his work since we saw him
on set in Hollywood two years
ago. Becently married to Anne
Nagel, he has appeared in many
good films, among some being
“Midsummer Night’s Dream,”
“Here Comes Carter,” which
seemed to be his first big break,
and many others in the last two
and a half years. Tragic, yes, but
the show must go on.

WPA Math Course
Being Prepared
A new mathematics correspond
ence course under the Works
Progress administration is now
being stenciled for those people
who have difficulty in this exact
science.
This new course has been pre
pared by John W. Hough and F.
K. Seely. The fundamentals deal
with rapid computations and then
application to the business work.
The course is based on actual
business experience taken from in
terviews of Eugene business men.
including the making of business
forms, discounts, banking, market
ing goods, profit and loss, in
stallment buying, and depreciation.
Instruction in the every day
mathematics is designed to serve !
four particular groups of students:
first, those who wish to secure the
mental discipline that comes from
the study of an exact science: i
second, those who want funda- [
mental courses for natural and ap
plied sciences, such as physics and
engineering: third, teachers of j
mathematics who wish a more
thorough preparation for their;
work: and fourth, men in military
service, or those, who expect to be.

UP TO SNUFF
Venita Brous and Ellen Hill
New Spring styles are making their debut
on the campus, and in town. Shops along Wil
lamette street are showing, each in their in
lividual way, spring frocks or suits. Styles
have become extreme, they promise even to
be more so in the future.
Coeds have their choice of four smart lines
in coats, this season. The semi-swagger — a
simply grand sport coat, the good-and-full
swagger, terribly smart for tweeds, plaids or
checks. These coats are almost straight in
front, but flared at the back. The fitted prin
cess reefer is the last word on spring coats.
It measures a little over two yards around
the hem. The semi-fitted reefer is a slim-loolc
ing coat, straight but full enough with its deep
inverted pleat at the back.
MAN-TAILORED SUITS
-Many suits 'will be let loose upon the cam
pus this term. l)o you remember the grey suits
of last year, made of men’s-wear -worsted?
You may not have been sure whether you want
ed one or not. This year you will be sure,
unless you happen to see the navy twill suits
first, in which case you will have a severe at
tack of that would-you or wouldn’t-you inde
cision.
The color most talked about for them is
navy blue. More ami more navy suits are being
lined with taffeta and worn with yellow
blouses. BLAND'S have one of the finest selec
tions of these suits that you ever saw. The
selection includes the extremely man-tailored
suits that will be the thing to wear to class or
on informal dates. The taller you are, the
shorter you can wear your suit skirt. Correct
lengths are between 12 or 14 inches from the
floor.

SHORT SLEEVE SEASON ARRIVING
SHORTLY
Even this early in the season short sleeve
spring dresses have become popular. At Mo
il ORK AN & WAS11BFRNE, Walmita Mills,
Alpha Gamma Delta found a new duboimet
hiee spring jroek. It is a flared-pepluin suit
with match buttons down the front. A small
cluster of gold flowers that are worn a little
below the shoulder is the only other bit of
contrast on the outfit.
11. G. lIADLEf S have a new group of
lovely spring dresses and suits. Some of their
dresses have odd shaped yokes, buttoned backs,
others, back flare fulness in the skirt, and still
others have various bits of contrasting com
binations. These dresses are the very newest
of new.
Look for our advanced styles in next week's
issue.
Be sure to go to the assembly, it is certain
to be good today. Don C'asciato will attempt
to give his version of “Penny's From Unev
en. lie s just a bit worried as to what the
outcome of this venture will be. But if you
give him half a chance, you will see that he
realh isii t bad. But seriously, it you possibly
can go to the assembly today, do it.
