*Dream 'M usic to Spark Show By EE JEUNE GRIFFITH Mendelssohn's music for ‘‘A -Midsumfner Night’s Dream” will Jee played in its entirity my the ^University symphony orchestra for the April 24 production of Shakespeare's play. Dr. E. A. Cyk - ler, associate professor of music ology, will direct the orchestra. The use of the entire musical ^eore with the production is sel ■om found in the United States, R>r. Cykler said. In Germany the Rlrama with the music was very I popular, however. Dr. Cykler saw L the full production in a German * music hall in Prague in 1928. | Dr. Cykler, who came to this f University in September, taught pat Occidental college in Los An geles for three years, before which _pe was associated with the City College of Los Angeles for 15 years. In addition to the 65-piece or I chestra, over 30 voices will bo used in the choral numbers, which include a lullaby for Titania and a chorus for the wedding party. The overture introduces the play, and the remainder of the music accompanies the action and words or alternates in a sort of dialogue with the drama. Several of these parts have been used ex tensively on the concert platform, particularly the famous Scherzo, the Intermezzo, the Nocturne, and the Wedding March. Mendelssohn did not conceive all the music for the “Dream" at one time. In 1826 at the age of 17, he thought of writing a con cert overture on the theme of the “Dream.” In a few weeks he had compleSed the overture. It was not intended to be a companion piece to the drama. The term overture was con sidered at that time to be what w'as later called a symphonic poem. The music was to portray j the spirit of the play, and his suc cess in doing this was recognized from the first. In 1842, after Mendellssohn had been appointed general music di rector of the Cathedral Choir by Frederick William IV of Prussia, the composer was commissioned to write the dramatic music for a number of plays, including the “Dream.” He finished the score in 1843, and the work was first pre sented under the composer’s ba ton on October 18, 1843 at the New Palace at Potsdam as part of a dramatic festival given dur ing the celebration of the one thousandth year of the empire. The music was instantly popu lar, more so than the play. Many Germans suspected at that time that Shakespeare had translated the play from some German work into English.

Students to Pick Variety of Jobs Job openings, many of them with new concerns in Portland, were found by Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel administration, while in Portland Monday and Tuesday. Onthank stated that with some of the large new concerns, some jobs carry the possibility of foreign work after some domestic experi ence. Most jobs are sales work, the dean said, but there are some other jobs. He once again urged that all those who will be in need of place ment register at room 6, Freindly hall now, as a thinning of oppor tunities is already noticeable in some areas, and will probably be come more pronounced when the large June graduating classes start looking for jobs.
