In every place the quartet played It was greeted with ex cellent audiences. I found that ! In Chile the people were extreme ly fond of chamber music and es pecially of the world of "the more modern composers, . I was really surprised at the manner In which the English composers were re ceived. Their works Were called for again and again. We were all sorry to leavs Chile, for there were ao many small cities re questing us to appear. The presentation of "The Show- Off." George Kelley's two acts of comedy drawn from American life. "at the Capitol theater tonlgntwiu ' be the first appearance of Oregon State college dramatists in- Salem. The characters in the play, are ta ken by members 4t National Col leriate players, an organisation of .student dramatists who are par ticularly advanced along this line of. work. The comedy is built around the monumental ego of one, Aubrey PiDer. who can see nothing but good in himself. "Caesar can do no wrong" is Aubrey. Piper's motto and lives up to It clear through and - including the; final curtain Henry Fitspatrick takes the part of Aubrey. He. displays a veteran ability to remain in. character and in the presentation at the Majestic theater, in Corrallta of the "Show- Off" he drew much favorable crlt Icism. Evelyn Jacobs plays the part of Mother Fisher In a manner quite conducive to hilarity. She reveals 'her versatility since she has taken the" part of the young feminine v leading character In some plays yet in this she masterfully handles "the mother part. The possibilities of a compara tively minor part to be worked in to an outstanding interpretation is revealed br Ken Lowell, who plays Pop Fisher. lie appears In the first act only yet his playing at the Corvallis performance led to many expressions of regret that he did not appear in the play of- tener. One change only has been made in the cast since the Corvallis per formance. Elynore Case will take the part of Aubrey Piper's sister-in-law which was formerly played by Marie- Graham. Warren Rolph takes the part of her husbsnd. The other younger feminine roll is taken by Pauline drauel Amy, the wife of Aubrey Piper. She por trays well the transitional Amer ican girl neither flapper nor ex tremely modest, yet typically pres ent day American. She does not need to try to get Into character since 'she is already there to begin. Other characters include Hugh Wiley as Mr. Gill, workingman; Walter Wieman, the insurance man: John Janes, Joe, the inven tive younger son.

The caliber. of the acting is far above the average amateur work in the opinion of critics who have seen the players. Many of the players find work with profession al companies steadily on gradua tion from Oregon state. Some of them work with professional com panies during summer vacation. it nnnw mn nnin tiUMDUUL if CALLED CHUT FILM Plenty of Thrills Found In Picture for Lovers of .

In 1923 the qaartet made a tour of South America, giving forty-nine concerts in two months. The countries of South America, he said, had not been prosperous and the people were unable to par the prices demanded by mu sical organizations. "The people of 8outh America." said Mr. Levey, "have not yet he come a concert-going class and It is the novelty of the thing that appeals to them more than sny tbtng else. Of course big names will draw, but then big artists want big fees. The London String Quartet proved one of the novelties, and. in fact, was the only musical organisation to re ally meet with great success down there The fame of this quartet had been brought to the attention of the South Americans by the success we have enjoyed in 8paln. rather than in England and Amer ica. The Spanish papers are read with, as much seal as the 'Prensa or NaeIon and the peo? pie know far mora about what Is going on In Madrid and Barcelona than In London and Newi Yorx. Of course that Is because there Is mora racial sympathy yet it al ways seemed strange , to us that they wr so Influenced by what the people at " Spain did and thought It was heeause wa were so popular In Spain that we were popular In South America and not because of our equally enormous success In London and New York.
