Tickets for the recital are now on sale at Grinnell's in Detroit. k DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The eighth pair of subscription con- certs by the Detroit Symphony or- chestra will be distinguished by the presence as soloist of Madame Wan- da Landowska, the noted Polish harp- sichordist, who is considered the greatest living master of the instru- ment. The concerts occur at 8:30 o'clock Thursday and Friday nights in Orchestra hall. Madame Landowska came to this country almost unannounced, with none of the press-agenting whicl usually accompanies foreign artists. Her first concerts in the East were sensational and her reputation i, rapidly growing. The harpsichord. which is the precursor of the modern piano, has a large amount of beau- tiful music written for it by Bach, t's conception of the journey of the Handel, Haydn and Mozart, and it iF the nioon to this eighteenth century music that Oberth carries out his idea the rocket, the concerts will be devoted.

It is more i i J AAIO PEA (Continued from Page One) bette than many musical shows from Broadway."- New York Enthusiastic The papers of New York gave ex- ceptional praise to the production. "The audience placed its stamp of approval on one of the brightest and most sparkling college shows of the season," is the comment of the New York Times. "The costumes were original and dazzling. The fashion revue in the second act made the audi- ence gasp.'s The Herald calls the 'girls' the "best of any in the theater district of New York," and W. J. C. in the Tribune reminisces to the effect that "the smoothness, the stage pres- ence, the grace of the collegians brought to mind the best musical shows of the.past-before revues and jazz broke through." Play Rouses Philadelphia Philadelphia was roused from its sober contentment into rapt enthusi- asm when the opera played there. Says the Philadelphia Record: "Those boys from the University of Michigan who brought their musical comedy production to this city gave a welcom- ing crowd at the Academy of Music the 'surprise of their lives.' " And the Public Lerger states: "Boys will be boys. Especially college boys. But when they put on gorgeous gowns, bobbed wigs, rouge and lip stick, they will be 'girls' and even a tired busi- ness man would have difficulty in de- tecting the indifference." WThe critics there grudgingly admit- ted, too, the superiority of the Michi- gan show to the Princeton Mask and Wig production that plays in that city each year. "There was never such an array of girls in any Mask and Wi Club production-elaborate as they are," says the Record, and that "Mask and Wig never attempted anything to compare with this." The Public Ledger agrees: "Philadelphians have become accustomed to college musical productions, but the large audience last night saw a musical show that would hold its own with any current Broaway attraction." The Bulletin states that a "large crowd of energetic and talented youngsters of that mid- we t rn institution carried by storm a large audience that was roused to enth'usiasm by the musical comedy," ,nd admits that the 'girls' were "real charmers" even if they did have 'spindly legs." Charges Girls With Shaving The Pittsburg Gazette Times was another of the many papers that classed "Cotton Stockings" with the professional shows. "If the name of ny musical comedy producer on froadway had been back of the pro- auction of the show the University of 11ichigan presented last night, the tfwner of that name would have felt no tinge of shame at any time during the evening." The Post classes the mtusic as "throbbing love song, dreamy waltz and jangling jazz." "Beautiful girls they are, but they bitler shave or patronize a barber dhop," says Walter IS. Hickman, dra- matic critic of the Indianapolis Times. He continues: "It was a gorgeous nic- ture. Any moment I expected Julian Iltinge, the Creole Fashion Plate. th chorus of the Follies and the dancing than a college show. It demands treat- ment as a professional exhibit." Critics who viewed the show in its Washington performance take issuej with the Indianapolis writer. "'Cot- ton Stockings' boasts the big bunch in its very'naivette," says Harold Philips in the Times. "It has the pro- fessional touch but, preponderately, the character of scholared youths at playtime." Mr. Philips gives praise to most of the 'girls' but continues: "Others-- chlorines, notably,-were such virile masculinities that all fashion's flip- I phony orchestra in a. program of hi: "And the last we. saw of the woman father's music Thursday night, Jan she was still jawing." 31, in Orchestra hall.
