THE "REDEMPTION."
A Large Audience Hears the Oratorio Tuesday Evening.
GOUNOD'S GREAT MASTERPIECE
Was Well Rendered and Highly Appreciated
The Oratorio Society under Professor Penny's direction has scored many hits before, but probably none of its productions has been more pleasing and satisfactory than the rendition of "The Redemption," last Thursday evening in the University Chapel.
The interest that University people have in good music was shown by the fact that the Chapel was entirely filled by an enthusiastic audience.
The Oratorio itself is Gounod's masterpiece, containing some of the finest choral work ever written and the interpretation of it was as a rule very satisfactory. In this regard the work of the chorus was deficient in some parts. It did not follow the director with sufficient precision and was noticeably weak in its attack on some of the more spirited passages. The part of the Oratorio in which it did its finest work was the "Unifold" chorus. This is probably the best known part of the whole work and is certainly one of the grandest choruses ever composed.
The audience appreciated the provisions by which the late comers were not allowed to disturb the musical selections by their entrance. The work is divided into a prologue and three parts and after each of these an intermission was given to allow for entrances and exits.
To the solistis nothing but praise can be given. The recitatives were given by Mr. L. V. Sauus, tenor and Mr. W. D. D twi lier, bass. Mr. D-tellw's work appealed especially to the audience on account of the distinction of his enunciation, a quality especially desirable in a narrator. The singing and interpretation of both were excellent throughout. Of the other solo parts W. E. Higgins had perhaps the most difficult in the part of "Jesus." His rendition of it was very satisfactory although his voice has not that degree of smoothness which the part demands.
In the soprano parts Mrs. Straffon and Miss Edith Hays divided the honors. Mrs. Straffon's ability as a soloist is well known to Lawrence audiences and her solos Thursday evening were fully up to the usual standard of exe lence. Miss Hay's solo part, "The Message of the Angel to the Women," showed her ability to execute difficult passages with precision and power. Mrs. Lottie Burkholder's solo in the part of the Holy Virgin brought out well deserved applause. Her voice has remarkable sweetness and purity interpreting the sad lament in a manner which left little to be desired.

weiler showed the same excellence which has already made him a favorite in Lawrence.
Any description would be wholly in adequate without a mention of Prof. Penny's work, both as a conductor and organist. His work as accompanist is something which is not always appreciated but which had throughout the effect of blending and uniting the whole, and his ability as a director is too well known to require comment.
It is intended to make this Oratorio production an annual event and it is certainly to be hoped that this will be done, for the success of "The Redemption." Thursday night demonstrated that the highest class of Oratorio music can be put on by our own musicians.
THE JAYHAWKER.
The "Jayhawk" was placed on sale Tuesday morning and sold rapidly; the managers were unable to supply the demand. The next day more books arrived and since then the sale has continued steadily. Everybody is well pleased with this production of the Senior class and it is being generally pronounced as good an Annua as ever issued by K. U. Every phase of college life is tucked upon, making the book complete and accurate. The literary matter is of artistic merit and possesses genuine worth. The manager has spared no work or expense in getting oit this publication and every student should possess one as a souvenir, and because such publications in the future will be impossible if the students do not chase them.
BASKET BALL.
THE QUILL CLUB
The basket ball team has won four games and lost five; they are, won, Lawrence Y. M. C. A., two; Haskell, one; Ottawa, one. Lost, Topeka, two; Independence, two; Haskell, one. The team has done good work under the management of O. B. Seyster, considering the lack of support from the University. The management thinks basketball is a growing game and will attract much more interest in the University. Some of the reasons given for its possibilities are, it is a good game, more men on the Hill play the game than any except base ball. As much or more physical endurance and training is required to get on team than any other team on the Hill. It is played by colleges and other organizations all over the United States. It can not become a financial success in Lawrence at present because there is no place for playing which furnishes a seating place for spectators. The management is pushing the idea of giving the basket ball man a K which will add considerable interest.
Thursday the Quill club held its last meeting of the year. Miss Jones read a good criticism; Mr. Krebiel and Miss Rhineheart gave stories. The program was excellent. The club will begin early next fall and continue throughout the year.
The boys who went to Kansas City to work are back in school.
A new Ball engine has been purchased for the power plant at the Fowler shop. The engine is of 85-horse power and will take the place of the small one that went through the fire.
Mrs. Withington, who is spending the week with her son Wilfred was on the Hill Wednesday and Thursday. She has been to Pleasanton to attend the Blaker Withington wedding and is on her way to her home at Humboldt.
The base ball atmosphere has been decidedly blue for the past week, for not only Nebraska but also Ottawa and Haskell have succeeded in their hitherto unattainable desire to defeat K. U. Since returning from their trip the boys have not shown their usual form. Ottawa won Saturday by a score of 5 to 8, due to errors on the part of K. U. The visitors tapped Hall up for 6 at frequent intervals and won the game by a home run when the bases were full. While everybody expected a rather close game the defeat was entirely unexpected. The visitors played a steady game throughout and supported their pitcher in excellent form. Owing to the threatening weather but few roots were present. Alphin pitched the Indian game striking out six men but the support he received was something fierce; White being the only man on the field who played without error. When the boys stopped the ball they imagined they were in a throwing contest necessitating a call of time to find the ball. Archiquette was the star fieldier for the Indians, bagging several difficult drives. The rooters growing desperate in the seventh innings stamped for the side line in their ineffectual effort to send the redskins skyward, but in vain. Three scores was the limit and the bold bad men from Haskell rejoice in the humiliation of K. U. Final score 3 to 15.
A LETTER.
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO,
May 22, 1901.
The International committee has decided that the Olympian games be held in the City of Chicago in 1904. What this means for American athletics and particularly for athletics in the central West is obvious. So large are the opportunities which this event offers to all universities, colleges, high schools, and athletic clubs—not only for the upbuilding of athletics and the raising of popular ideals of sport and physical education to a higher plane, but even for the benefit of the western institutions themselves—that one and all should rejoice in the victory of America and the West. Here is the opportunity to show the Paris Committee and the men who have labored to obtain the games for the City of Chicago, that the students and athletes of this sector appreciate the honor.
The student body of the University of Chicago therefore invite you, as one of the institutions interested, to join with it in a celebration to be held Saturday, May 25, at 7:30 p. m., on Marshall Field (57th St., and Ellis ave.) The University of Chicago.
Yours fraternally,

MACBETH TALKS.
His Ghost Appears and Discusses the Senior Play.
A few of the attempted roasts make McBeth
tried and he exposes the whole affair.
The following is a tip from Macbeth in regard to the Senior play. He says: "Having heard that it was customary in former Senior plays to indulge in an occasional roast on the faculty and students of the University and the play-wrights of 1901 not being of very futile imagination roasts have been sprinkled in a most copious and indiscriminate manner throughout, although not in harmony with the spirit of a good class, but nevertheless, knowing that the class of 1901 has never claimed that particular distinction, it is not to be wondered at that they roast the brightness of Solon Summerfield's socks, the unfortunate Betas in their ill-starred expedition to the fated hen-house door by a parody from Poe, the comparison between Cora McCullum Smith and Mr. Vickrey's manner of reciting, in which Mr. Harris executes the sheep dance, the elucidation of the voluminous Pierson on certain points in constitutional law, the manner of dance executed by the stars of the French department, and Macbeth himself is asked to bring back the resolutions.
Misses Flintoms, Manley and Griggs execute an Oriental dance similar to little Egypt, and Barcus as Romeo is simply irresistable as he prances round the stage and mimics Romeo after he has been out too much at night and acquired a bad cold in the head.
Billy Reynolds gives the Betas some unbrotherly taps in his raven-turkey piece. How inconsistent is man when such good Y. M. C. A. boys as Wilfred Withington and Walter Hall take the parts of Kansas City medics under the guise of M. U. foot ball players. Moore, Ruth, Stone, Lester and Harrison work their way in as "sups." The manager went over to Medical hall and brought over Vie Walling, Fred Ide, Billy Reynolds and a few other cadavers to pose as K. U. medics.
Pete Campbell, as Banquo, shows a partiality for dancing with the servant girl, May Sexton, in an attempted imitation of the French department. We'll wager Clark cannot pronounce his stage name, Bassonio, for in his Holder-Pierson episode his lioping far exceeds Prof. Holder's. Arthur Harris attempts a two-faced game as Antonio and Francis Huntington, but fails because of a false nasal twang which betrays its owner to the audience. The Duncan family are simply immense. Lander as Prof. Duncan, carries his dignity with difficulty, but Miss Huns has enough and to spare.
Our write up of the play would be incomplete without mentioning this brilliant success, which is sure to come to Miss Gertrude as Mary Duncan as she gaily chats with her friend Esther Wilson, called Celia.
Otis Perkins as Prof. Macbeth, Dean of the Medical school, seems to be entirely satisfied with Mrs. Macbeth, as played by Ava Douthart, but she would be expected to take "Moore" interest in one of the M. U. foot-ball players.
Ted Leonard, in the all important part of Macbeth, Jr., causes the true Macbeth to shed bitter tears of sorrow, and his ghost, to even up old scores, gave the WEEKLY this true report of the Seniors' last attempt to play a joke.
