Yesterday was what might be
termed a Utile dull in Corvallis; in

might expect on a Sunday in the
Holy City. Nearly every place of
business was closed: few were bold
enough to leave their homes.
The elocutionary efforts of Guy
Moore, who recently returned from
a school of oratory in Chicago, were
very much appreciated by those in
attendance at tne alumni exercises
Wednesday evening. He certainly
merited the reception he received.
We notice that in one of the
Portland papers - a notice has
been inserted calling for information

A large House greeted tne sen
iors of OAC last Tuesday even
ing when the curtain rang up on
"An Interrupted Honeymoon
The time of the play was the
present and the scene was in
England although the honey
mooners tried to have part of
their honeymoon in Paris. There
was bliss uninterrupted and in
terrupted. There was discord in
abundance to be followed by a
restoratisn of narmony.
It was farce comedy from start
to finish and one that compelled
interest, and one or two climaxes
were irrcsistable. There is ' no
doubt but the large audience was
pieased--there was abundant
evidence of this. The selection
of the play A was a happy one it
was a perfect fit. It was strong
ly cast. The leading parts were
taken by F. B. Davis, ' W. D.
Proebstel. H. E. Rinehart, T.
A. Garrow, K. Steiwer, M. D.
McAllister, Misses Mary Danne-
man, Alice wicklund, lena lar-
tar, while the school girls of Miss
Romney's academy (some of them
very sly, mischievous and tom-
bovish) were', represented by the
following young ladies: L,eone
Weber, Maud Roberts, L,ura
Flett, Edna Osburn, Hazel Ra-
ber, Edna Smith, Nellie Skelton,
Georgie Herbert and ..Mabel
Keadv.
Ot the work of those in . the
leading roles only good words
can be spoken. The general
verdict is that no class play given
by OAC seniors eclipses this
effort, should they even equal it.
Much credit is due Mis. B . W
