'HE JOINT CONCERT Furthering the present good feeling between the two largest educational institutions of Michigan, the bands of the University and Michigan State college joined last night i the first joint concert that two large college bands have ever given formally. The concert not only helped to cement good feeling between the two schools, but also aided the present move which the Varsity band is making to avoid unit playing and maneuvers. Last fall, for the first time, the bands of Michigan and of the oppos- ing universities combined during foot- ball games to abolish rivalry, and combine the pageantry and music. At all of the games, this was success- ful, and next season will see this move which the University started carried into other schools throughout the country. Last night's concert was made pos- sible because the leaders of the two bands were brothers. Otherwise it might have been impossible. Michi- gan's band has long held a place among the leading college bands of the country, but very few, if any col- leges, precede Michigan in the mat- ter of innovations in cementiig friend- ship between schools, and in the abolishing of the intense rivalry which used to be concurrent with the game on the field. PLAY PRODUCTION Looking back upon a history of good .dramatic efforts poorly supported, Play Production under the direction of Earl Fleischman is planning a new bid for the interest of campus thea- ter goers when it presents "The Play's The Thing" next week in the Mimes theater. The play in itself is one of the newer dramatic compositions which appear here during the year and is still continuing a" one 4 the major Broadway attractions. It is of rather an unusual'nature but has had a successful tour of the coun- try and still continues in popularity. As a vehicle towards assuring the success of the endeavor, the cast has been drawn not from one group or organization of actors but from an en- tire array of campus dramatic talent. Such a move seems indeed 'a prudentf one on the part of Play Production and it may well be hoped that itst reaction will be a successful one. Thea organization's past has been far from successful and continually small aud- iences have been discouraging to say the least. Still its directors are plan- ning another capable production and in doing so are taking a step at once courageous andl deserving of betterE support.

Ycm W KOLe IN THEATER BOOKS THE BAND CONCERT A review By Harold May While the uniting of the M. S. C. band with the University band in a joint concert may have shown that there existed a fine spirit of amity between the two leading Michigan schools, it certainly produced noth- ing good in the way of music or even of good band music. The audience was treated, in the more ambitious at- tempts of the bands, as the Largo from Dvorack's "New World Symph- ony," to the comic spectacle of wildly waving cornetist's fingers, and earn- est but puzzled clarinetists, the horns failed several times to get the right pitch, and no one successfully completed a run. The program was begun under the leadership of the local Falcone who led the two bands through a march and two nondescript "conc-ert" num- bers, after which the visiting brother took the baton and, after a march and several other numbers, ended his pro- gram with a pot-pourri of patriotic and sentimental airs. There was little to choose between the two conductors except that the visiting man knew that a march should be brisk. When the bands were allowed to play marches they performed well, but in any other attempt they had what seemed to be insuperable tech- nical difficulties. Let the musicians ally themselves with the h-umblest jazz orchestra; they will find when they return from a season with it that they know more about the possibili- ties and limitations of their instru- ments than they ever knew before- in a jazz orchestra the instrument has to be heard and some originality has to be shown.

But here Play Production, under the able leadership of Earl Fleischman, has announced that "The Play's The Thing" will be rendered by their gang, beginning next Wednesday night, for a four-day run in the Mimes theater. Mr. Molnar's little bit, which many Ann Arborites saw earlier in the year with Blinn and company in Detroit, is said to have drawn much of the campus talent, ("outside the play pro- duction classes") to the fold in an at- tempt to do the thing handsomely. The cast will be headed by Richard Woell- haf, grad., who once did well in an O'Neill play here on campus. He will have the part of Sandor Turai, the Blinn role,..in which to speak broken language and twist his mustache. Minna Miller, another graduate stu- dent and also known as the leading guidon of a recent Junior girls' play will have the feminine lead of ilona Szaba. Others of the dramatic talent from the whole campus will be Samuel Bonnell, '28Ed., as Mansky, Charles Holden, '29, Fred Crandall, '28, Charles Peake, '28, and George Johnson, '30. The play, for the rights of which Mr. Fleischman put in lots of work, is satirical and rather sophisticated. While the Old Lady from Dubuque might misunderstand many parts, it is an excellent play for the hot sea- son. If well done, and it may be at that, it will probably be one of the best shows to be seen on campus yet, and may be recommended.

Pickles, Salads, Plates, Napkins And Everything My dear Mr. Sink:- Having seen an announcement of your 1928 May Festival, may I congratulate you upon the .splendid programs? The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, with Frederick Stock conducting, is a Festival in itself. Music lovers of this vicinity quite envy you since for the past ten years Duluth's All-Star Course has sought an appearance for our city, witb n o success. Life is not a holiday, but an education. As we advance in this education, we look back .with ever in- creasing gratitude for the refining influences of good music as it has been woven in at life's various stages. I congratulate you upon your privilege of pre- senting music of such a high standard to your large audiences of most impressionable age, and them for the educational and cultural benefits derived from listening to such a fine array of attractions listed for the "Ann Arbor May Festival." 9; 114 South Main Phone 3454 St. With kind regards, (Signed) MRS.

It is interesting and it, is wholesome fun, and it serves as a safety valve for class rivalry which might otherwise accomplish quite dif- ferent things, and it is a tradition which well. deserves the preservation which it receives. Yesterday the sophomore class took two of the three tugs in the tug-of- war from the freshmen, and thereby got off to the proverbial flying start. This morning the remaining three events will be staged on South Ferry field, and when the sod has been re- stored one class or the other will have the plume of victory or super- iority or whatever plume it is a class gets for this kind of thing, and that will be the end of all interclass brawls for the year. It is desirable, of course, that a large portion of the freshmen and sophomore classes turn out to partici- pate in these games, for. they are, after all, very good fun. To take them in deadly seriousness, however, would be considerable of a mistake, and it would be an error which might end seriously or in injury to someone. Aft- er all there are bigger things in col- lege careers than interclass contests, and while kicking and scratching may be legitimate, biting and fighting (as ndulged in by members of these class- es at their so-called games last fall) are scarcely desirable. So with the best of luck to both ides, and especially to the freshmen, t is only just to state that the cares of the world and the future of human- ty are in no way bound up with the ontests this morning.
