Youth Committee Against War Signs Washington Professor to Speak Here Top French Movie Will Be Shown Today "Un Carnet de Bal" Rated Best of 1938; Performances Set For 4,7, 9 p.m. The tops in foreign motion pic tures will be brought to the cam pus today when “Un Carnet de Bal,’’ famous French movie, is shown to faculty and students of the University in room 101 of the physical education building. Three performances, beginning at 4, 7, and 9 p.m. will be given. “Un Carnet de Bal,” or as it is known in English, “Life Dances On,” was awarded the Venice ex position gold cup for the world’s best motion picture produced in 1938 and has been heralded by American critics as the best for eign movie of 1938. It was featured in the “show of the week” section of Life magazine of May 2, 1938. Beats Hollywood This magazine in reviewing the picture said: “It is the kind of movie which Hollywood never makes. The loss is Hollywood’s for the French picture is one of the best in any language.” The entire movie is captioned in English for the benefit of Ameri- j can audiences. In addition a. great many of the scenes are filmed in the Alps, Italy, and Marseilles which should prove interesting to students. This is further brought out by the fact that over 85 per cent of those who flocked to see the film in New York, and other cities where it has been shown with great success, have been Am ericans who did not understand a word of French. Seven in One “Un Carnet de Bal” is really seven films telescoped into one. It takes six separate and distinct 1 episodes marked by a definite character, and tells the story of each. The whole is bound together by one dominating idea -— the search of women for yesterday’s lovers. The picture centers around a well-to-do French woman, widowed in her early thirties. One day in looking through old souvenirs she j happens upon an old dance pro gram saved from her girlhood. Glancing over the names on it she finds herself wondering what has happened to the young men who paid court to her when she was the belle of the town. Lovers Scattered She finds these lovers in all dif ferent occupations and in widely scattered parts of the world. Her travels and conversations with these men furnish the opportunity for an excellent bit of action. Plenty of good seats are still available and a limited number of tickets for any of the perform- j ances, 4, 7, or 9 o'clock, will be on* Stars, Music, Dancing of 'With Fear and Trembling' Reviewed by Roadman Without revealing the plot of the much-talked-of musical comedy “With Fear and Trembling,” now in the most intensive stage of pro duction at the University of Oregon, songwriter and co-director Wil fred Roadman last night cast a few sidelights on the new show on which 40 students arc rehearsing day and night at the drama cottage.

Composer's Niece Gives Piano Recital The niece of a famous composer and one of a family of musicians, Helen Luvaas stepped to the plat form in the music auditorium last week to prove her ability to carry on a high musical standard. Miss Luvass, a student of Jane Thacher, played two selections from the works of her uncle, Morton Luvaas, professor of mu sic at Allegheny college, “Trau meri,” a dreamy melody, and "Ro manze,” a serenade of fragile beauty, were played with a deli cacy uncommon among 15-year-old pianists. The grace and charm of Chopin were evident in four selections, in cluding a waltz and three preludes. Leschetizky's "Arabesque” made a happy study piece, while Lavalee's "Le Papillon” and McDowell’s "Shadow Dance” were sprightly numbers of contrasting tempos. Probably the best liked of all the selections was the difficult "Moon light Sonata” of Beethoven, which Miss Luvaas carried through with great ease and melody in perform ance. The younthful pianist returned at the close of her program to of fer two encores, the comic “Golli wog’s Cake-Walk” from Debussy's Children’s Suite, and the modern and sophisticated "Ode to a Man About Town” by Pollock.

At present this loan is being repayed at the rate of $1800 per year. Rentals May Increase Funds Other possible sources of in come are the rental from the house on Alder and 14th (now occupied by Phi Gamma Delta fra ternity) and the rental from the Co-op store. While the combined meeting of the two boards did little more than review the history of the student union building program a basis for action was set up. The checkered history of the plan to construct such a building, which began in 1923, was discussed, with special emphasis on the responsibilities of all concerned with the problem to get immediate action. songs WANTED poems $100.00 cash prize and royalty contract for winning song Write.- lor entry blank and enclose postage. INLAND MUSIC PUBLISHING COMPANY Box 388—Boise, Idaho Miss Hagg, Ready Hold Joint Recital If the recital in the music audi torium last Tuesday evening was any indication of the excellence of those to come, spring programs should be exceptionally entertain ing this year. The two students who appeared in joint concert were Marrian Hagg, pianist, and Lester Ready, baritone. Offering the familiar or chestra composition, Bach's "Little G Minor Fugue" in a special ar rangement by Samaroff, Miss Hagg played with a confidence and verve that was in the profes sional manner. The alternating moods of Stojowski's “Chant d’Amour" were carried over to the audience by Miss Hagg’s spontan eity of performance. Lester Ready, singing a bari tone that was both robust and ten der, offered four selections of the Nelson Eddy concert variety. Fox's "Hills of Home," Sans Souci's “When Song Is Sweet,” and Mit chell's "Lost in London Town" were all well liked by the audience of University students and resi dents of Eugene. Squire’s "A Chip Off the Old Block" was a comic ballad encore. Lecuona's “Malaguena" a n d Liszt’s “Forest Murmurings" were among Miss Hagg’s more dramatic and impressionistic offerings. The young pianist, who is a student of George Hopkins, played “Serenade" by Rachmaninoff as an encore.
