Girls Glee Club
Captivates Ashland

1--WE love you, Lithia,' and we are
coming back to Ashland next year,
said the members of the University Of
Oregon Girls Glee Club as they de-
parted for Eugene Sunday morning
after very successful concert toul
of southern Oregon.
Right off the reel the Girls Glee
Club started in being a success last
Saturday night at the armory. From
the time the curtain went up on a
stage full of Grecian-clad figures UNI
til "The Star Spangled Banner
brought the audience to its feet al
the last curtain, there was spirit and
pep" harmony and then more har-
mony.
/ The rs. R. O." sign wasn't hung
out at the front entrance. but If re-
peated encores are any indication of
the enthusiasm of fair-sized audi
ence, then the Oregon girls sure did
get by" with a perfect percentage
column.
To choose favorite numbers is
risky, but certainly the one, waltz
song from Faust, with Melba Will
liams as solo dancer, "Barcarolle"
from the Tales of Hoffman, and the
delightful group of Caedman's Indian
songs with the picturesque and un-
usual setting stand out boldly. Tent
ing Tonight" sung as an encore num-
Der to the latter group, is undoubted-
ly one of the loveliest and the most
effective songs ever heard in any
concert. The absolute stiffness of the
house during its rendition was an in
dex to the impression it created.
And speaking of encores, there
wasn't poor one in the lot; the lit
tie German band ditty and the clock
song were particularly catchy, and
even these showed the exact precision
and careful training which character
lied the whole program and left you
with feeling of wishing for more. y
During their stay in the city the
girls were guests of the Ashland
Choral Society, and to them much
credit must be given for bringing
such a high class organization to
Ashland.
when the Boys Come Marching
Home" sung by Dean Ralph Lyman,
director of the Glee Club, was en-
Enthusiastically received. AS director
of choruses he undoubtedly is in a
class by himself on the Pacific coast,
and through his efforts has the Eu-
gene Philharmonic Society, chorus
of 200 voices, been recognized as a
success" spelled in capital letters.
OF the individual numbers, Marian
Neil formerly local girl, piano
solo-Etude by Max Dowell-de-
serves special mention, and seldom
has such an accomplished and fin
ished artist been heard in Ashland.
Decidedly professional, Charlotte
Bonfield had the audience with her
in her several readings, and we won
der how she can remember so many
bird calls. Irene Strawbridge and
Gladys Van Nuys, both freshmen in
the university, lent a variety and bal
ance to the program which was desir-
able.
Up to the minute in plot was Maid
and SupertMaid." There were
"scads" of maids, and most certainly
their little act was super" in every
respect. The lines were clever, and
a line Of humor mot Ashland made"
kept the audience in an uproar till
the closing ensemble number hit the
spot with its patriotism.
Come again, girls, we like you"

mated at between SIS, 900 and $780,
600 was left by Johnson w. Willard,
Sc years of age, who lived alone in a
ruined shack southeast of Milton, and
who was found dead early Sunday

Why They Buried Him.

ut is a rule to which most good
lawyers adhere" observed well
known attorney, "never to tell more
than one knows. There was an in
cident in western town where a
lawyer carried the rule to the ex-
treme.
Counsel for one side objected to a
person, whose name was on the
courts register for some purpose or
other, on the ground that he was
dead. The counsel on the other side
declined to accept the assurance and
demanded conclusive testimony on
the point.
"Whereupon counsel for the other
side arose and gave corroborative
evidence as to the decease of the man
in question.
"'But, sir, how do you know the
mans dead? p" demanded opposing
counsel
"'Well,' was the reply. 4 don't
know. It's very difficult to prove"
GAS l suspected. You don't know
whether he's dead or not"
"'No. But know this-they buried
him about a month ago on suspicion!'

The Friends Quarrel.

Alas! they had been friends in youth
But whispering tongues can poison
truth;
And constancy lives in realms above;
And life is thorny; and youth is
vain;
And to be wroth with one we love
Doth work like madness in the
BRAIN
And thus it CHANGED, as l divine,
With Roland and Sir Leoline!
Each spoke words of high disdaim
And insult to his hearts best
brother;
They parted-ne'er to meet again!
But never either found another
To free I the hollow heart from
ing.
They aloof, the scars remaining,
Like cM's which had been rent
asunder;
A dreary sea now flows between,
But neither heat, nor frost, nor
thunder
Shall wholly do away, l ween,
The marks of that which once hath
been.-Coleridge.

We know that lot of the women
are going to snort. But the fast re-
mains that home cooking causes most
of the dyspepsia.
The man who is doing the most
hardest to round up when the time
comes to take up subscription for

Funny hoy much more it takes to
make girl happy after she is
married than she thought it would
before she was married.
Another citizen who is as popular
German flag is the lad who drops in
on you when you are busy and tells
you how you should run your bust

The woman who acts like man is
about as popular as the man who acts

After man passes forty he doesn't
take much stock in the saying that

Some men argue so long over a

Castor oil and smallpox may be un-
popular. But they haven't anything
on the idle pest who comes around
and bothers you when you are busy.
We would hate to give a girl her
choice between a clear complexion and
a muddy conscience.
Another fairy tale: Once upon a
time there was man who was such
a clever liar that he could stay out
all night and explain to the satisfac-

Madame Wheeler To
Open Music School

Madame Blanche Arral Wheeler
the distinguished opera singer whose
beautiful voice lately delighted the
people of this vicinity at the big Red
Cross concert at the High School
auditorium, has decided to open a
school of singing at her residence in
Palisade.
Nine. Wheeler's career has been
one of brilliant success. From the
very earliest age, she showed a
marked precocity in music, and at the
age of ten she secured the first prize
in singing at the Brussels Conserva-
tory. The president of the jury,
Prince de Chimay, was so struck
with the skill of the little prodigy
that he prevailed upon her parents
to allow her to go to Paris to pursue
her studies there.
During course at the Conserva-
tory Of Paris, she became a private
pupil Of Nine. Matilde Marchesi, the
greatest of European teachers, who
put the finishing touches on a long
and arduous course of study
After three years hard study at
the Paris Conservatory, she obtained
at the same examination, the first
prize both for singing and stage
presence; being then claimed by the
directorate OF the Theatre National
de POpera Comique, where she made
her debut at the early age of fifteen
years in the title role OF Mignon.
For three years she was the idol
of the theatrical world in Paris,
where she built foundation for her
musical reputation. From Paris
Nine. Arral Wheeler went to Russia
with the celebrated Raoul Gunsburg,
singing at the Imperial Theatre for
two years. During her engagement
there she sang many times at the
Kransnoe Selo Palace, and was deco
rated by the Gar with the Order of
luxembourg.
In her subsequent tour of the
world, Nine. Wheeler received con-
tinuous ovation, and earned the re-
markable distinction of having sung
before more crowned heads than any
other living artistic.
Besides the decoration previously
mentioned, Nine. Wheeler has been
awarded the Order of the Medjidieh
by the Khedive of Egypt, the Palms
of the Academic Franchise and the
Legion of Honor, the highest honor
the French Republic can bestow.
Since taking up her residence on
the Palisades Nine. Wheeler has
found an interest in the community
and an appreciation that prompts her
to open a studio and offer the advan-
tage Of voice culture to her towns
people. Nine. Wheeler's tuition fees
will enable many to take advantage
Of this opportunity.
