Under the looming prow of the mythical S. S.
Cosmos, more than 50 artists representing the
people of eight different nations, will conmbine
their talents in a colorful program of music and
dancing in the eighth annual International
Night under the direction of the Cosmopolitan
club at 8:15 Tuesday night in Hill auditorium.
In this setting which will include, in addition
to the representationc

a street cafe scene from
the sunny lands of Spain
and a Hindu bazaar
with all the glamour of
the Orient, these art-
ists, both students and
professionals, will offer
assemblage of talent will be one of the most
brilliant ever to grace such a program which has
became a yearly event since its inauguration in
1915.
Leading the list of the presentations by cam-
pus groups will be that of the German club under
the direction of Prof. J. A. C. Hildner, of the
German department, better known to the mem-
bers of the club and to his many friends among
the undergraduate body as "Dad." Dressed in
the costumes of German sailors, they will be
the crew of the fanciful ship and will sing some
of the typical German sea chanteys and folk
songs. The songs of this group of students who
have met informally for some time past, have
scored brilliant successes at former occasions and
were featured on the International Night pro-
gram last year. Among the group will be Theo-
dore G. Metz, '31, W. H. Mohrhoff, "33E., A. G.
Wagner, '31, J. H. Rickel, '31, E. N. Stanger, '31,
a program of native music and native traditions
A huge blue drape has been procured to cover the
pipes of the organ in the auditorium, and will
give the effect of a blue sky behind the ship..
With these lavish stage settings and to the ac-
companiment of an elaborate musical score, the
spectators will be whisked away to the far cor-
ners of the earth on the "Cruise of the S. S. Cos-
mos." ' From the ship, the travellers will stop at
eight different ports in as many countries where
they will see the native people in their customary
dress in natural surroundings.
As in the program last year, the various acts
will be combined into a unified whole and each
of the artists will contribute his or her specialty
to the elaborate extravaganza which will resem-
ble a gigantic musical comedy more than a

School of Music and will include Benton Yates,

ico who fell before a . firing squad during the
Villa reign of terror. The family was exiled from
the country and Madero went to a schol in Paris.
