GIRLS’DORMITORY HAS FIRST DANCE
Affair To Be Formal; Eighty-five Bids Mailed Out To Campus Men.
Irrepressible shieks of the Southern California campus who have made it a point to “trip the light fantastic” in every “salle de dance" in the city of Los Angeles and its environs, will at last get the opportunity for which many of them have waited hopefully ever since the opening of the present semester—the opportunity to dance in the Women’s Dorm. Their chance will come tomorrow' evening on the occasion of the first event on the social calendar of the Women’s Hall, a formal dance, scheduled to commence at 8:30 P. M.
This affair, according to the plans of those in charge, is going to be very high hat and all that. The invites have been limited in number, just eighty-five invitations in all having been mailed to university men. A first-class bunch of syncopation-man-ufacturers have been secured in the persons of Ray Hatfield and his henchmen in the production of dance music.
As patrons and patronesses for the evening’s affair, the social chairman of the Women’s Hall has secured President and Mrs. von KieinSmid, Dr. and Mrs. Marston, Dean and Mrs. Stabler, and Professor James Musatti. The hostesses in the receiving line will be Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford, Miss Rosemond Ball, House Hostess of the Hall; Miss Charlotte Montague, President of the Hall; and Miss Lalla R. Selbie, Social Chairman.
Those who are promoting the formal believe that it will prove to be a big success “This, the first dance on the social calendar of the Women’s Residence Hall, promises to be a splendid success, judging from the fiine c6-operation offered by everyone concerned," said Miss Selbie, who has charge of the arrangements. The fortunate ones who were favored with invitations are looking forward to a large and fullsome evening.

All photographic work has been turned over to the Densmoore Studio of Hollywood, ana Ives states that they have on hand at the present time over ten thousand cuts or negatives from which to choose.

Plans have been made to equip and operate on the campus a complete branch of the Densmoore Studio whose exclusive work will be to prepare the pictures for El Rodeo. This is a new system instituted this year and it is believed that the plan of having a regular campus studio will greatly increase the quality and quantity of the photographic work.

Photographs of the rootball team will continue to be taken throughout the season, some fine negatives already having been obtained. All nonorganization students anc such organizations that do not have houses will have their photographs taKen in the El Rodeo office. In order to avoid delay and confusion it is necessary for such students to make appointments for their pictures and It is strongly urged by the photographers that these arrangements be made as soon as possible.
Actual work on the campus by the Densmoore Studio is to be started Monday and it is expected that all photographic work of this kind will be finished by the end of November.

With the appointment of leaders in nearly every nine o’cIock class on the campus, Wednesday morning saw the beginning of the Rally Committee plan for daily sings throughout the university. A systematized plan has been worked out and singing was started by the leaders in most of the classes.
Two reasons for the pran are advanced by the Rally Committee who are sponsoring the attempt, are the teaching of the university songs to all students so that they will become familiar with them, ana student group singing in public will be perfected. The second reason is the increase of interest and school spirit throughout the entire student body.
The leaders who have been appointed are responsible for tne starting of the singing as soon as enough members of the class arrive to make a fair showing. The singing continues till the ringing of the last bell at nine o’clock, or at the arrival of the in structor in case he is not already there.
The leaders of all the classes are meeting next Monday at noon-in Bovard Auditorium to complete final plans and discuss methods of making the plan a success. Those classes that have no leader as yet are asked to appoint one immediately and start singing. Also the newiy elected leader should report to the meeting Monday noon in Bovard Auditorium.

Wearers of Blue and Bluff • To Frolic in 5. C, Pavilion
Saturday is the Sophomore day. ’Tis of the affair as the
on that date that the austered wearers of the blue and buff shall frolic in the sanctuary of the basketball pavilion, flitting hither, thither, and yon to the delightful strains of “I Ain’t Nobody’s Papa,” or some equally sentimental selection. The always popular season of Hallowe’en will be officially opened at Southern California by this first dance of the Sophomore class, and committee chairmen promise a very impressive beginning to the customary annual reign of the black cats and other accessories.
Henry Rohr, class president, speaks
“Coming
Out
Party” of the Sophomore class, and urges every second-year student to attend. Hank also promises plenty of room for at least one thousand pairs of shoes on the floor of the pavilion, and judging from the ticket sale to date, there will not be the crowd present that has frequented previous social events this season. Large supply, little demand—hence plenty of floor space for all dancers.
John Bailey, a member of the social committee, is conducting a temporary ticket office at a table in front of the auditorium.
merce students was increased to five hundred.
J. P. Wernette, who is assisting in making the plans for the assembly, states that full arrangements have not yet been made, but that detailed announcement of these arrangements will be made in a short time. He urges all commerce students to take note of the fact that the date has been postponed from next Friday to Friday, October 30.
All commerce students will be required to attend.
At the Pasadena Community Playhouse scoring a distinct success Is the presentation of the elaborate dramatic play, “Pharaoh’s Daughter,” written by Dr. and Mrs. Allison Gaw of the University of Southern California. The Playhouse was completely sold out last Monday evening.
Commenting on the production, Dr. Rufus von KieinSmid said, “I think the conception—motive Tdea of the Play—the finest possible to the mind of man, that is, Godi is Love.
“It has been worked out with an understanding, sympathy, and finesse that argue the hand or a master. The lines are beautiful, ranging from most tender expressions of mother love to the most forceful of triumph in sacrificial devotion. The whole has been so presented in such a way as to leave an impression captivating in the sincerity of its message. No one could have given a more masterful setting to it all than Gilmore Brown, with that witchery of genius for which he Is noted. He has so interwoven character and phrase with scenic art as to give a unity as altogether delightful as it is rare in present day stagecraft.”
The play was originally submitted in the playwriting contest of the Pasadena Center, Drama League of America, where it attracted the attention of Margaret Anglin and the Shuberts. On three distinct occasions it was taken under option for production in New York. Only the excessive cost of costumes and stage sets prevented the successful producing of the play commercially. The Pasadena Community Playhouse, with its scores of trained, yet volunteer, workers has been able to present the dramatic work under the most ideal conditions.
