STUDENTS’ NIGHT FOR GREAT LIFE OF CHRIST PLAY
American Passion Drama in Natural Setting Before Students Thursday Night
SPECIAL RATES PREVAIL
Cast of 150 Performs Spectacle To Southern Audiences During Season
Presenting the Life of Christ in twelve episodes, with a prologue of prophesy and an epilogue of promise, the Pilgrimage Play next Thursday, July 23, offers a special University night to students wishing to see the spiritual drama this season. Tickets may now be purchased in the Associated Students Store, $1.50 tickets being one, dollar, and regular two-
dollar tickets selling at $1.50.
The Pilgrimage Play as transcribed and produced by Christine Wether-tll Stevenson plays a regular annual season in its own theatre in the Hollywood hills. The drama is presented six nights in the week by a staff of actors, soloists, chorus, and musicians totaling one hundred and fifty. The fact of evening presentation offers special opportunities for effective lighling in bringing out the power of many of the most striking scenes. In instances such as the transfiguration and the ascension, as indeed in all episodes surrounded the figure of Christ, the natural background and artistic lightning produce scenes of power and conviction.
WORDS UNCHANGED
Much of the strength which the Pilgrimage Play undoubtedly possesses comes from its fidelity to the story of Christ in the gospels. The scenes which the spectators carry away with them have been unchanged in verbal content from the New Testament version, while the scenic hillside setting reflects the land of Palestine.
In the past five seasons since first it drew the attention of the world, the play has become a Los Angeles tradition. It is a part of the cultural life of the community and appeals each year to a larger number as its friends return to bring others with them.

Catalina Recreation Spot
For Southern California
Wrigley’s Isle Offers More Ways to Play and Loaf Than Any Other Place. Trojans Will Leave Saturday With Lemons and Gum
BY JOSEPHINE MONKMAN
Are you sweltering in the heat these days? Nothing like a good stiff ocean breeze to cool one off. Are you suffering from the mental fatigue that comes from three weeks of constant study? Nothing like a restful ocean trip to bring back pep and send you through the last half of the term with flying colors and high grades. Do you like the fellowship of people who are interested in the same things you are? Go to Catalina with them.
If you have never'proved a good sailor, don’t allow that to discourage you. Stick a lemon in your pocket and chew a stick of gum. You will probably not have anything to cut the lemon with-in case
Syou do, need it, but you will at least have the satisfaction of

Mountain’s Hospitality Is
Enjoyed By Excursionists
Tavern Leisure of Mt. Lowe Preferred to Hiking activity by Many, But View Rewards Altitude Seekers; Observatory Seen By Many At Night
BY MARGARET BYRKIT
The Mt. Lowe trip Saturday was a case of “come old folks, come young folks; yes, everybody come/' for it was almost impossible to know which were U. S. C. students, unless one could see the color of the tickets—green signifying special excursion, and pink being the ordinary ticket. The gateman announced that the University students were to go to Gate 6, which was done, needless to say. But after three carloads had arrived at the Tavern, everybody seemed to know everybody else. The conductor enjoyed the usual
9squeals from excited passengers,

IMPORTANT TRIP NOTICE
Those wishing to go to Catalina Island next Saturday should not fail to make reservations at the Y. M. C. A. in good time. This is the rush season at the fasmous pleasure spot and special rate excursions are not sought by the management. Many are turned away.
So if you are going, visit the Y. M. C. A. “Hut/* 3623 University Avenue, not later than tomorrow in order to make the reservation.
and even made some believe that if they held their breath and pushed, it .would help the car go up the incline.
After visiting the Fox Farm, adding more cards to the collections on various trees, walking to Inspiration Point, riding on the “O. M. & M. Railway,” which is translated as “One Man and a Mule,” and perhaps visiting Proposal Arbor, the hungry excursionist found it necessary to find the dining room at the Tavern. Then he was hungry no more.
VARIOUS AMUSEMENTS
After luncheon, some of the party found the music upstairs irresistible, and journeyed upward to make good use of the music. Others read, some played checkers, while some of the more ambitious hiked or rode to the Summit. From this point could be seen eight ranges of hills and mountains to the west, and ML Wilson and Old Baldy to the east. To the south one could see a panorama of cities and towns from Glendale to WhitUer. It (CONTINUED ON PAGE POUR)
knowing that you have a safe and sane remedy. The gum will give you quite a collegiate and seasoned air, besides proving a delicate and charming compliment to Mr. Wrigley. Everyone on the island chews gum1 just out of a desire to show their good will toward the island’s owner.
If you like swimming, then Catalina will be your paradise. The bay is a smooth sheet of water without a breaker, a veritable outdoor plunge. If you are looking for a thrill, take a trip in one of the speed boats. You’ll promise yourself that if you ever get back ajive you'll never get in one of those things again. You may even go to the length that one young man did and threaten to get out and walk if the driver doesn’t slow down on the speed.
But if you want to see the strange and curious, go on the glass bottom boat. They are indeed an awe-inspring sight, the gardens of the deep. Tall ferns and flower-like plants swinging with the throbbing of the inner ocean, and, instead of birds, gayly colored fishes hovering above them. Ah, here too is where your gum will comfort you. Remember, if the glass bottom should spring a leak, you could plus it up with gum.
Take Saturday off at Catalina. It is the very place to practice on that latest correspondence course you have been taking, “How to be Popular” in ten lessons.
Pick up your books and “mosey” down to the Y. M. and sign up for the most enjoyable trip of your life. The crowd leaves Saturday at 9:00 A. M.
