AY 12, 1932 $1 THE MICHIGAN DAILY THE MICHIGAN DAILY 1 .1U L 1 , Y ii MLTAIVI Q-1 On &I W ", r -11 ANCE AED TB PAu 1NrEnRNT LAN Adaptation of Marionette Puts Comic Touch on Program. A* Act To the tune of "The Minstrels," by Debuss, a group of eight girls will caper and mock in the newest dance added to the already gener- ous program comprising the Fresh- man Pageant. This dance, falling as it does under the head of the interpretive group, is the comic touch which the pageant formerly lacked, and is an adaptation of a children's puppet show or marion- ette act, in which the girls partici- pating are dolls on a stage, garbed in ridiculously typical costumes, and acting or dancing with a stilted precision. The new dance group, which was formed last week, ,has held one practice session under Miss White's supervision, and the eight fresh- man women taking part have been chosen. The act is a farce, in which the characters are mock marion- ettes. Hilda Kirby plays the part of the heroine in -a pink dress and yellow .wig. Jacqueline Snell is the heavy villian. Barbara Sutherland is the ldier and hero. Virginia Cluff is one clown; Jane Brucker is the other, and they provide much of the unspoken comedy. The other characters are Billie Griffiths, who plays the father, and Margaret Palfrey, the policeman. The group is scheduled to appear late in the Freshman Pageant, as a highlight used toaccentuate the serio-dramatic dances that precede 'it. According to the dance chairman, the rehearsals are proceeding re- markably well. The groups partici- pating have been cut slightly, and the -entire cast -will be announced sh rtly.- The newest innovation in the way of accessories to the pageant is the scheme of having two tiny fresh- man women, dressed unobtrusively, I present sandwich signs . between dances, in place of program or spoken announcements. The bear- ers will be Betty Wunsch and some freshman not yet announced. Landscape Painting Praised at Meeting by Miss A. Adams "Landscape painting is the high- est expression of culture and art," stated Miss Adelaide Adams in a recent speech on "Oriental Land- scape Painting".to the Landscape club. She spole mostly concern- ing Chinese painting, because the field is much too great to cover in its entirety. She said that China was the first to develop this art; it was not found in Europe until the nineteenth century. The Chin- ese have no fear of nature such as the Europeans, and so are much better able to express it. The pictures are made in two different types, the long hanging and the scrole. The latter is kept and. cherished much as we would keep a beautifully illustrated book. When a picture is hung, it is changed from time to time, and is usually the main attraction in the room, according to Miss Adams. The work is done on silk or pa- per. The three most outstanding technical features of the Chinese work are: the line or brush stroke, the rhythmic composition, and the perspective horizontal planes, Miss Adams says. The color is usually a monotone of grey and black, and ink that looks wet is used to pro- duce an unusual effect. Miss Ad- ams used slides to illustrateher lecture' which made it much more interesting. A trip into the Western part of Michigan for over Memorial Day was discussed by the Landscape club, and the meeting adjourned with a short social hour. Virginia M. fHa mister Pr1sets Graduation Recital at League By A. W. '34. Outstanding musical talent was in evidence at the graduation piano recital given by Virginia M. Hmis- ter, '32SM, Tuesday afte.noon in the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre of the League building. A certainI pleasing attitude of performance made the program espevially at- tractive. Miss Hamister made arather poor start, however, in her inter- pretation of the exercise-like Pre- lude and Fugue by Bach-Lizst. A really interesting composition was delivered mechanically and without enthusiasm as though the player were stale in its rendition, and the pedalling was blurry in places. Her memorization of the composition. as of others on the prog am, was excellent and thorough. Exceptional technique mastery was in evidence in the second num- ber, Chopin's Sonata, Op. 35, which, with the Farantelle of Lizst, was presented with the most enthus- iasm of any of the numbers. In the Sonata, Miss Hamister showed ab- solute self-confidence and concen- tration. The chromatic passages in the Sherzo movement were deliv- ered with clarity and exacting pre- cision.; The March Funebre movement of the Sonata was not quite differen- tiated from the fast tempo of the first two parts. The climax of the recital and the number in whch Miss Hamister really showed her musical ability was the Presto or last movement. The fast but quiet passages were most excellently played and with an artist-like non- chalance that charmed the audi- ence. The four remaining numbers were well interpreted intellectually. Es- pecially pleasing was the ever-pop- ular Resphigi "Nocturne" with its emotional content. The program ended with the spectacular Lizst "Tarantelle." y!EL CM Fi Opr I_ ..S C U I ety Not z Pi Beta Phi.mn A Dorothy Walker; Vice President and cta Phi Eta Nation..al Presidenit Z'he Michigan Beta A him A~s- ;.ocial Chairman, Dorothy Shap- Attends Installation sociation of Pi Beta Phi ill hold ",nd; Rerording secretary, Ruth Meeting. its annual meetin g Saturday a- eeting. the house.

A T THE LEAGUE Friday 9 till 1:00 MOR A A. A. Milne's comedy "Meet The Prince" opens tonight at the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre. It is Com- edy club's latest presentation to the world of campus drama. The play throughout is high com- edy; the lines are especially clever. In this comedy, Milne has gather- ed together a typical group of peo- ple at a dinner party and has made it very interesting. The conversa- tion itself is not particularly weighty; it is the inflection of the voice, and accompanying stage business which makes it so effect- ive. The humour of the situation comes fromu the complete self-satis- faction of the characters. Women in the cast of "Meet The Prince" include: Veneta Cook, '34, Sally Pierce, '35, Helen Dooley, '32, Burnette Bradley, '32, Virginia Rob- Urts, '35 and Frances Manchester, '34 The remarkable characteristic of women in the cast is that they have all maintained such a high scholastic standard. The total num- ber of honor points for the five women is approximately one hun- dred and sixty, or well over a "B" average. Miss Bradley is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, national honor- ary organization.
