HOLD STEADY, PLEASE
(By Ruth Sturdevant)
This is not an instantaneous
picture.
Just a minute, now—don't
look at me—please look Nor­mal
tho'—thanks.
Bellingham lovers of music will
have the opportunity to hear the
great prima donna of the Metropoli­t
a n Opera Company, Mme. Margar-ite
Matzenauer, tonight, when she
will appear in recital at the First
Christian Church at 8 p. ni. This en­tertainment,
which is the fourth
musical attraction offered by the
Women's Music Club and the Nor­mal,
is expected to be one of the
finest of the entire year. Students
will be admitted by their activities
tickets. \
Mme. Matzenauer possesses a rare
voice that combines the range of a
soprano and a contralto,. yet demon­strates
power and purity of tone.
While she chooses contralto num­bers
for her recitals, the artist is
capable of assuming soprano roles
with equal ability. This versatility,
aided by her magnetic personality,
has never /Ceased to captivate her
audience. Mme. Matzenauer has been
proclaimed by well known critics to
be the "greatest living contralto."
Mme. Matzenauer v comes by her
gifts most logically,, as her father
was a director of the Royal Theater
Orchestra, and her mother a singer
in the opera house of a small Hun­garian
town where she was born.
With this combination of inherited
musical talent, Margarite Matzenauer
made her operatic start at the age
of twenty. She came to America in
1911, making her debut as Amneris
in "Aida."
Mme. Matzenauers' concert num­bers
will be as follows:
Mr. S. H. Lewis, of Lynden, Wash.,
popularly known as Sol Lewis, edi­tor
of the Lynden Tribune, will speak
to journalism classes of the Normal
on Tuesday, March 2, at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Lewis will discuss interesting
features of the State Press Associa­tion
meeting, which he is at present
attending, and will also speak upon,
the country paper and the relation
of the teacher in the community to
it. A few minutes will be given over
to answering questions asked by
the students at the close of the dis­cussion.
_
Mr. Lewis is one of the rising
journalists of the day. His weekly,
the Lynden Tribune, has already,
achieved distinction as being one of
the best examples of a good country
newspaper anywhere in the state. Mr.
Lewis received his training in the
school of Journalism at the Univer­sity
of Washington, where he served
as editor of the University Daily.

Mr. Fowler, of the Normal English
department* gave a talk at a meeting
of the Scholarship Society last Wed­nesday
evening, Feruary 17. A large
group of students responded to the
invitation given to all by the society.
The subject of the discussion was
"How to Keep Alive in Literature."
In his talk, Mr. Fowler brought out
that everyone can keep alive thru
thought, imagination, enlargement of
aesthetic side of life, and thru cu­riosity.
Literature satisfies all these
requirements. However, it was
brought out, that there were dangers
thru over-indulgence or the wrong
kind of reading. During the discus-son
it was also shown that many
people did not know how to read the.
different kinds of literature and
often lost much appreciation thru
this lack. Mr. Fowler also urged
that there be a balanced ration in
reading. To make up this ration fic­tion
should be read and biography.
Books of our immigrants, stories of
travel and adventure, poetry, and
books of humor should be added to
the list.
At the close of the discusion an
open meeting followed at which dif­ferent
questions were raised and
answered.
The Moroni Olsen Players will pre­sent
a costume play "Friend Hannah"
in the auditorium on Saturday night,
March 6. The play is a romantic
drama in four acts, written by Paul
Kester, who has obtained consider­able
repute in drama circles.
The play which follows in part
historical facts, uses a legendary ro­mantic
plot wherein the heir of tlfc
British throne secretly marries a
little. Quaker maiden "Friend Han­nah."
The Friends think that Hannah
is disgraced and in a dramatic scene
her mother informs her that her
name is forever erased from the
church books. To cap the climax the
mother refuses to stay under the
same roof and after begging Hannah
to leave her pretty home she de­parts.
A visit from the royal queen moth­er
after the prince has succeeded to
the throne enlightens Hannah as to
the identity of her husband and
she agrees to leave him, that he may
not place his country at a disadvan­tage
by marrying a commoner thus
giving the exiled Charles an excuse
to return to England. ^
The members of the cast wear
powdered wigs, silks and ruffles of
the period of the play, giving it a
romantic setting and enabling the
players to give a performance which
is convincing and enjoyable.
Most director-managers would nev­er
think of pasting any other player
than himself in a leading role—par­ticularly
when it is a good role. But
in "Friend Hannah," Mr. Olsen has
taken a tinv part himself, that of
a stolid old Quaker uncle—and has
given the leading male role of the
play, the young Prince of Wales, lat­er
George ITI, to Byron Foulger, the
young man who played the son,
"Jack," in "The Ship," the last play
presented here by the Olsen Players.
Janet Young is stepping out of the
lead this time, too, in favor of Dor­othy
Adams. She is . assuming the
part of a little Quaker maiden,
"Friend Hannah."
The Moroni Olsen Players • are all
young. That is why their interpre­tation
of "Friend Hannah" will be
worth while seeing. They play it
with heart as well as art.
ifTo miss the joy is to miss all. In
the joy of the actors lies the sense
of the action." This old saying will
again be demonstrated^when the Ol­sen
players present their costume
play on March 6.

This is the season of the year
when downtown merchants display
their moth-eaten winter wear at half
price and the school profs and stu­dents
get their summer woolens at
a low mark.
This is also the time when the am­ateur
reporter hangs around down
town to get news because he sees
nothing but the old stuff around
school.

events it becomes necessary to re­plenish

SILVER TONGUES STILLED
PRIZE IS AWARDED
TO MR, LEW GREEN
Former Local Student Is Given
Singular Honor as Award for
Best Advertising Campaign.
^ " :—
Great honor was bestowed upon
Lew Green, an alumnus of this
school, yesterday when it was an­nounced
that Harvard University
had awarded the prize for the best
national advertising campaign ap­pearing
in 1925 to Young and Rudi-cam,
Philadelphia advertising agents,
for the campaign "on Postum. The
Postum campaign was written by
Mr. Green, who is associated with
that company. This is considered
very remarkable as Mr. Green has
been engaged in advertising writing
only three years.
This prize is the most coveted in
the advertising profession and as
well as being an award of distinction,
it carries with it a cash prize of
$2,000. The prize is the first of a
series given annually through the
foundation of Edward W. Bok, which
is administered by the Harvard Bus­iness
school. The award was made
to Mr. Green by a jury of nine men,
well known in the advertising bus-ness
in the EasC
Mr. Green was at one time a stu­dent
of this school and was a promi­nent
member of the Normal debating
team. While a student here, Mr.
Green was a reporter for the Belling-ham
Herald, -and before graduating
from the University of Washington
he worked on the Seatle Post-Intel­ligencer
staff and later worked in
Philadelphia as reporter for the Phil­adelphia
Record.

Rain Checks Are Given Out.;
(By BELVA JBALL)
Somebody blundered, a debate 'is
not a debate when no one has any­thing
to debate. That's the con­dition
of the Cheney and Bellingham
Normal debating teams. Both af-v
firmative teams are here with not a
soul to deny anything they may say.;
Both negatve teams are at Cheney
with everything perfectly lovely, be­cause
everybody agrees with every­body
else. Innocent bystandres and
would be auditors in both cities are
feeling somewhat abused, but hope­ful,
since the debates are really to'-';
come off Saturday evening. Thoughi
they agree perfectly the teams have
agreed to disagree, but a little delay.;
is necessary to get ready for thW
change.
The Bellingham affirmative team
consists of Ineff Clark, Ethan Allen,
and MeryL Bird. The negative team'
of Velma LeMaster, Ralph Johnson,
and Floid Van Etten; ; .
Visiting Team Entertained.
Cheney's debating team, consist­ing
of Philip Rindle, Orin Kendall,
and Marvin Shafer, arrived in Bel­lingham
yesterday morning. They
were met and entertained by mem­bers
of the Debate Club here. Ellen
Stein, Frances Finical and Lloyd/
Mabon being the committee in
charge. After lunch at the Leopold
Hotel, the visitors, were taken for a
drive over the city.
; In the evening' the Cheney team,
with their coach, Mr. Tigie, and the
judges, , Supt. E. D. Merriman, of
Anacortes; D. A. Stiger, of Everett; .
and J. E. Noftsinger, of Mt. Vernon,
were guests of honor at a dinner
served in the club room of Edens
Hall. Miss Cummins and Mr, Arnt-zen
were in charge. A musical pro­gram
was-given. 'v
