e operatic season, the Ann Arbort

will be an event in Ann Arbor
cal history, second only to that
~ruso a few years ago.
Choral Union Thursday
(ursday, evening the University
al union will make its 'first ap-
ance at the festival In the presen-
n' of Wlf-Frrari's "La Nova
This work ill take up one
of the evening's program, the rest
G time being devoted to misel-
sus, selections by. the orchestra
oloists. The work 'hs chosen for
festival, not only for Its musical
Lh, but in'commemoration of the
hundreth anniversary of Dante,
author of the words which have
immortalized in music by his
w countryman, Wolf-Ferrari. The
r requires the services of a great
.one and also contains a. numbe
los for soprano. Reinald Werren-
who has appeared In this 'work
lumerous occasions and has been
eded by critics the place of the
great master in this role, has
secured. The soprano role will
ung by Adele Parkhurst, a young
rican singer for whom the critics
ict a particularly brilliant future.
Children's Chorus Friday
Friday. afternoon a chorus of 500
school children under the direction of
George Oscar Bowen, supervisor in
the local public schools, will offer a
number of selections, the most import-
ant of which will be "Song of Spring,"
a beautiful cantata by Carl Busch. In
the same program Kathryn Meisle, the
famous young contralto, who has been:
making such a success in New York
and Chicago this season, will offer
a group of songs. Miss Meisle is one
of the new-comers on the concert stage
who has won the admiration of all.
Like Miss Parkhurst, she is conceded
to be one of the most promising of the
younger generation of artists.
Frieda Hempel, who has appeared in
Ann Arbor so favorably on previous
occasions, will give a brilliant pro-
gram on Friday evening. She has long
been recognized as. the Metropolitan's
leading coloratura and is equally suc-
cessful in festival work.
A symphonic program with Erno
Dohnanyi, pianist, as soloist, will give
the program on Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Dohnanyi is considered one of the.
most famous Hungarian artists, and
is well known among music lovers
and teachers, for he is a composer of
note as well as a virtuoso, his compo-
sitions having been used for many
years by great musical pedagogues.
His coming to Ann Arbor will be of
special interest in view of the fact
that he is the maestro of Erwin Nyri-
gyhazi, who made such a sensation as
soloist with the Detroit Symphony or-
chestra in recital on the Extra concert
series.
"Tannhauser" Marks Climax
Wagner's "Tannhauser" will bring
the festival program to a climax on
Saturday night. It will be sung in
English by a world famous cast of
artists, each one especially renowned
in the role he' will undertake. The
title role will be sungby Riccardo Mar-
tin, tenor, a leading Wagnerian in-
terpreter, who has won many suc-
cesses both at the Metropolitan and
at the performances of the Chicago
Opera association. The role of "Eliza-
beth" has been allotted to Florence
Easton, whose Metropolitan appear-
ances are always signals for sold out
houses. Her Ann Arbor debut will be
of special significance since she and
her husband, Francis ,McClennan, are
-an r products, having been reared
in Bay City. The "Venus" music will
be sung by Margarete Matzenauer,
whose many successes in Ann Arbor
have been features of local musical
entertainment. Like the other artists
who will appear, she is known espe-
cially . as an interpreter of Wagner's
works. The role of "Wolfram" will.be
interpreted by Carl Schlegel, an Amer-
ican artist who has been tremendously
successful in this particular part. Rol-
lin Pease, another American artist,
will interpret the role of "Landgrave."
The Choral union, with Riccardo
Martin, will'also offer a short choral
selection composed by Frederick A.
Stock and entitled "Psalmodic Rhap-
sody," at the Friday evening concert.
This brilliant work of Mr. Stock's
was written especially for the North
Shore Festival at Evanston last sea-
son and was such a success that it
has been added to this year's Ann Ar-
bor Festival program.
The orchestral programs will be
conducted as usual by Frederick A.
Stock, who will also join acting con-
ductor Earl V. Moore in the conduct
of the several chorus works.

Success In engineering College
IS JUST .SNOURIS NI AND DELIIOC
DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AS IT IS
SUMMER. IT KEEPS YOU IN GOOD HEAL1
THE YEAR 'ROUND
Enrolling by telephone is the latest
development in time saving devices
employed by the engineering college.
Developing the idea of Roy W. Elliott,
of the civil engineering department,
the classification committee, com-
posed of Professors A. J. Decker, H. 1
H. Higbie, C. H. .Fessenden, 3. C.1
Brier, and C. E. Love, worked out thet
phone system of enrollment which has
proved not only a great time saver,
but also an aid in promoting a more
even distribution of men in class sec-
tions. Heretofore, due to the crowded'
condition of the college, many after-
noon classes were unfilled or only
partially filled, while the morning ses-
sions overflowed. Students have' an
aversion to other than morning classes
and it has been difficult to secure an
even distribution of men throughout
the day in the various sections.
This semester the men were classi-
fied as~usual after having received the
marks of the previous semester. Each
student presented his proposed pro-1
gram to the committee, one member of1
which phoned to the "clearing room"'
in which was located a large chart..
On this chart, under each course, were
listed the sections. Seventeen men re-
ceived these messages and observed
the conditions of the sections on the
bulletin board. As one man was added
to the class a red square was covered
until finally the whole quota was
reached. If the section became per-
manently closed, a red card was placed
over the corresponding space, or it
but tenporarily closed to allow distri-
bution in'afternoon classes, a blue
card showed such a condition. Thus,
each. operator could see at a glance
how the sections were being filled up,
and Iphoned back accordingly to the
enrollment rooms whether such and
such "a man could be accommodated
at the class hour he desired.
In all, 34 telephones were used, one
to three being placed in each of the
15 classrooms. The employment of
this method was made possible through
the courtesy of the R. O. T C., which
owns the telephones. At present the
indications from the general opinions
of the faculty and the students in the
engineering school are that the phone
system will be retained as an econo-
mizer of time and as a means of regu-
lating the size of sectiotrs.
