Sell-Outs For Every Performance
Indicated By Heavy Advance
Demand For Seats
Selection of thirty-two members
of the men's and girls' choruses for
the 1928 Michigan Union opera,
"Rainbow's End," has been com-
pleted by E. Mortimer Shuter, gen-
eral director, after a series of cuts
from the large number of avilable
try-outs who have been rehearsing
regularly in the competition for the
coveted places in the choruses of
the show, it was announced yester-
day.
'Tickets for this' year's produc-
tion have been in greater demand
than in past years and sell-outs are
expected for every performance, as
indicated by the advance sale. A
number of good seats are still avail-
able for th~e various performances.
Tickets may be procured from two
to five o'clock today at the Union,
while tomorrow's sale will be the
usual women's sale and will be
held from two to five o'clock at the
Hill auditorium box-office.
Continue Ticket Sale
In addition Friday seats may be
obtained from two to five o'clock
at the Union after which all seats
remaining "ll be on sale at the
Whitney S turday from ten o'clock
to six o'clock.
Costumes more elaborate than
ever before, a book which promises
a real plot with genuine entertain-i
ment value, music said to have un-
usual merit, and all in all a show
which is a distinct departure from
anything yet produced by Mimes
is the claim of Shuter who believes
that this year's opera will outrank
"Cotton Stockings" as a national
sensation.
In addition to the regular chor-
uses a special singing chorus of;
twenty-four trained voices will be
carried in this year's company as
an added feature. All the singing
is under Theodore Harrison, direc-;
tor of the Varsity Glee club, who
has a national reputation as a,
chorus director of exceptional
ability. Definite announcement of
the persdns included in the singing
chorus will be made within the'
next few days, Shuter stated yes-
terday.
Portrays Western Life
"Rainbow's End" concerns itself
with the west and the colorful life
of cowboys and Indians coupled
with visitors from the "foreign"
east. A representative of "Peter
March," the Detroit firm which de-
signed the scenes and designed and'
executed the costumes, spent sever-
al weeks last summer in close
proximity to a tribe of Pueblo In-
dians in an effort to obtain local
color for the show. Many scenes
of an entirely different character
from those ever presented before
on the stage are the result of his
experiences a n d achievements
there in determining the exact na-
ture of many of the ritualistic'
tribal dances and musical num-
bers.
The opera will open here next
Monday night with nightly perfor-
mances through Friday night and
a matinee on Saturday. The tour
around the country includes many
of the leading cities, among them

Opening with a striking blood
and thunder cover by "Lichty," and
taking off in grandiose style the
wild west manner of "Rainbow's
End," a forerunner of the 1928
Opera will appear on the campus
today in the Opera number of the
Gargoyle, a satirical pre-produc-
tion of the well-known Mimes pro-
duct.
Following this are some shappy
humorous sketches which take theI
readers behind the scenes and dis-
play the inner workings of Michi-
gan's opera in clever fashion.
Jerry Ellison, '30, and Lee Blazer,
'31, depict chorus girls, chorus boys,
prima donnas, and stage hands in
various and revealing poses- placed
promiscuously through the pages,
it was announced yesterday by the
editors. Other contributions to the
art work have been made by
Margaret Gentz, '29, and Robert
Newton, '29.
Among the editorial high lights
of the month are "The Diary of an
Opera Girl," revealing the ups and
downs of a Shuter chorine and,
"Geometric Proof of Chorus Girls,"
throwing some interesting lights
upon the way a mathematician
figures out chorus girls.
"Two Song Writers Talk It Over,"
is another of the month's features.
Sprinkled throughout the book are
many other short sketches, jokes,

ABBOT IS TOASTMASTER
Fielding H. Yost, director of in-
tercollegiate athletics and prom-
inently known for the remarkable
record of his Michigan football
teams, will deliver the principal
speech at the Freshman banquet
to be held at 6:15 o'clock tomorrow,
night in the Union ballroom.
Tickets for the banquet, it is re-I
ported, are selling comparatively
slowly indicating an uncertainty
upon the part of many freshmenj
as to the purpose and extent of the
affair. All freshmen are eligible to
attend.
Bob Brown, '26, captain and cen-
ter on the 1925 Michigan football
team, will serve as general chair-
man for the Burton carillon drive,
sponsored by all the classes which
were here during the presidency
of the late Marion LeRoy Burton,
it was announced yesterday after-
noon by ' the organization com-
mittee appointed by the represen-
tatives of the classes which are
sponsoring the project.I
Eighty-six thousand dollars has!
been set as the goal in the drive
for funds to install a carillon of
bells in the proposed Burton Me-
morial Campanile. Brown will be
assisted in the campaign by Alfred
B. Connable, '25, who will serve as!
vice-chairman. Members of the
other sub-committees which are toG
aid in securing the necessary funds
have not yet been announced.
Brown, when a member of thej
Maize and Blue eleven was given
recognition as all-Conference cen-!
ter. At present he is a member of
the University coaching staff,
working mostly on line coaching.
Connable was president of the
Student Council at the time that
President Burton died. It was this!
council which gave the original
impetus to the building of a Bur-}
ton Memorial which is finally to
become a reality. It is believed that
this council in addition to recom-
mending that such a memorial
should be erected also gave a fundr
to start the drive.

He will tell where they are found, -
how they are formed, and will tell
something about the best known
specimens. Dean Kraus has made,
an extensive collection of gems and
his talk on "Gems and Gem Ma-
terials" on one of the previous pro-1
grams on the series was well re-
ceived.
Dr. James D. Bruce who has re-]
cently been made director of the
department of Post-graduate medi-
cine at the University hospital,1
will tell of his work in this bureau
which aims to create a closer har-
mony between the University and
its graduate physicians.
Prof. Elmer D. Mitchell, director1
of intramural sports at the Uni-
versity, will speak on "Exercising
the Student Body." Professor
Mitchell is the author of a num-
ber of articles and books on com-
petitive sports aimed to make en-+
joyable exercise.
In the concluding talk of the;
evening, Prof. Henry F. Adams, of
the psychology department, will
speak on some phase of advertis-
ing. His book on the Psychology
of Advertising is widely used in the
universities and all students who
intend to follow advertising, are
students in his courses.

yesterday by Prof. Waldo M. Abbot
of the rhetoric department, an-
nouncer and director of radio at
the University. The program on'
December 20 will practically "all be
devoted to the broadcast of the
Michigan Union opera, "Rainbow's;
End." Because of the size of the
orchestra and chorus no one will
be admitted to the studio for that
program; and on December 13 the
symphony orchestra of the School i
of Music will use the auditorium
making it impossible to take care
of any audience on that night.
