Stay Away Thursday, Mr. Jupe Pluvius
j^OMETHING new for a majority of the
present t campus population will be the
University and Very Little Theater outdoor
production of Shakespeare’s “Two Gentlemen
of Verona.”
Four years ago the Oregon dramatists
gave “Romeo and Juliet” outdoors with a
very enthusiastic reception from the campus.
Ever since then, Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, it is
said, has had a hankering to repeat with an
outdoor production.
This year, her wish has been fulfilled, and
from advance notices, the usual high standard
of University theater productions will be
maintained.
* * =»
JF anything, “Two Gentlemen of Verona”
should be better than its predecessor, for
Thursday the facilities of the University of
Oregon garden theater will be utilized by the
dramatists for the first time. “Romeo and
Juliet” was produced back of the old library,
with the. more or less inadequate means at
hand. In spite of these difficulties and the
competition of an occasional train whistle, the
play was outstanding.
By using the garden theater, which was
specifically designed by University Landscape
Architect Fred Cuthbert for outdoor plays,
the dramatists should arrive at a highly satis
factory production. The location of the open
air theater, away from busy streets and an
noying locomotives, should prevent interrup
tion of the action.
* =» &
^^LTIIOLGII stage setting has been reduced
to a minimum in keeping with Eliza
bethan traditions, we may expect striking
effects from Horace Robinosn, in charge of
lighting. Add to all of these factors an ex
perienced and well-rounled cast and nothing
seems to stand in the way of success for the
first garden theater production.
We can only hope and pray that it doesn’t
rain Thursday.

It is told that two Theta Chis
toured down town recently
a red car of ancient vintage
(later sold for the price of the
battery). The boys trundled
down a street where a woman
preacher was holding forth.
When she saw them, the wo
man pointed an accusing finger,
warned them they'd go to hell
if they didn’t "mend their
ways.”
The boys arose, politely de
clared:
‘‘Lady, we’re not going to
hell—we’re raising it!”

It is told that up at the Alpha
Omicron Pi house two lads
talking to one of the gals, non
chalantly asked her if she were
taking someone to the Mortar
Board ball. Vaguely, the girl
said she might. “When is it,”
she queried disinterestedly?
“Saturday night!!!” was the
prompt answer.
Can it be that our girls are
remiss in courtesy, leaving the
boys to fret about the dance,
uninvited? Tsk, tsk. And the
big affair only a week away,
too!
We’d think that one of the
few occasions during the year
when the girls are in a positiofi
to “pick and choose” they’d do
it early. Why, wait, and give
some other woman the chance
to get in there ahead of you?
It just ain’t smart!
Send the Emerald home. Your
folks will enjoy reading it.

Make Neighbors of a Nation
The Yankee clipper-ships are sailing phantom seas. The
western two-gun man has retired to the movies, and the
southern plantation has been subdivided. Hie old sec
tional distinctions have passed into tradition.
Where there was North, South and West, there is now
one people. Those old barriers of distance and prejudice
have been worn down by many uniting forces: railroads,
radio, automobiles, telephones, newspapers, magazines,
advertising.
These are the things that have united America into a na
tion of neighbors. You have the same automobile as the
chap a half-dozen states away. You both eat the same
advertised foods, smoke the same tobaccos, enjoy concerts
from the air with the same radio sets. You have a lot of
things in common.
Read the advertisements, Your
neighbors are reading them too
