TRYOUTS FOR OPERA

Keen Competition Among Men Makes
Announcement Of Cast
Diflicult
DESIGNERS BUSY CREATING
SCENERY AND COSTUMES
Work on the Union opera, "Make It
For Two" was started in earnest
as the third week of rehearsals drew
to a close. At regular hours, from 8
to 4:30 o'clock every day, tryouts for
the chorus have been assembling in
the Union theater, whose stage is
newly remodelled to the regular pro-
fessional size, and have practiced the
solo and chorus dances that will form
an important part of this year's musi-
cal comedy. Copies of lyrics were
given out this week to the cast and
chorus and work has been started
upon them.
"The work of tryouts for the opera
has always been of the finest sort,"
said E. Mortimer Shuter, director of
the opera, yesterday, "and the spirit
of enthusiasm and interest shown this
year is no exception. -Practices have
been systemized and are going smooth-
ly, with excellent willingness from all
the men and a good supply of talent.
The list of cast and chorus will not
be ready for announcement for at
least a week, as competition for all
the places is keen."
Some bifficulty has been experienced
with ineligibility, a number of men
being unable to take the parts for
which they were trying out. Second
choice men will be called to take the
places left vacant in these cases.
Lester, the Chicago designer who
has been employed to make the cos-
tumes for the 1922 opera, was in Ann
Arbor this week-end to measure the
men for gowns. A number of clothes
for the first act have already arrived
and will soon be fitted to the cast
members for whom they are intended.
Carl Brome, who is designing the
scenery for the production, will ar-
rive here next Thursday to start the
painting of the sets already designed.
Construction work on the scene in
the first act, for which a sketch has
already been sent out by Brome, has
started in the Union theater.
Poster designs, which are now be-
ing worked on by a number of stu-
dent -artists, must all be in tomorrow.
PLAIYERS CLUB PANS
FOR YEAR EXTENSIVE
ALL PROPERTY OF PRODUCTIONS
TO BE MADE IN SPECIAL
WORKSHOP
An extensive program has beenout-
lined by the Players club for this
year. An effort is being made to
include within its membership all
persons in An Arbor dramatically
inclined, whether they be students in
the University or not.
A special workshop is being plan-
ned, similar to that which the dramat-
ic organization at Harvard university
now has. Scenery painting, stage-
craft, property managing, and cos-
tume designing will be studied and
practiced in this shop. All plays pre-
sented by the club will be completely
equipped-scenery painted, property
built, and costumes designed-by its
own members. This will be an inno-
vation for dramatic clubs on the Mich-
igan campus and will offer unusual
opportunity to anyone interested in
either the dramatic or the producing
field.
An orchestra is being formed and a
chorus selected from those interested
in the musical side of the drama.
Furthermore, a play-writing group
has been organized, and next semester
the club will produce some original
work. Money will be raised to carry
on this program through the dues of
the club and two or three public per-
formances, at which admission will
be charged.
At present, two one-act plays are
in the process of construction. On
Nov. 17, "The Florist Shop," by Lord
Dunsany, as given by the Harvard
shop, and on Nov. 29 and 30, Sheri-
dan's "School For Scandal" will be
presented.
