Inglis. An impressive array of dramatic and musical stars, many of whom have already won their spurs -by professional work or by perform- ances over the radio, have been en- listed for the principal roles of the forthcoming Mimes Union opera, "Robin Hood." Although only two parts in the operetta, the sheriff and Will Scar- let, are being played by persons not enrolled in the Ujimiv> i:y, the n- cumbent of practically every part has had extensive experience on the concert stage or over the radio. The feminine lead, Maid Mairon, is being done by Dorethea Torbeson, '32SM, who is best recalled to Uni- versity audiences by her work last year in the Junior Girls' play, "Came the Dawn." Miss Torbeson is .a titian blonde, has what has been termed a brilliant contralto voice, and hails from Cadillac. Among the operettas which she is conversant with are "The China Shop," and "Lela Wala." Well hknown in the Music school for her frequent appearance in recitals, she is preparing for a certificate as a public school music teacher. In Comedy Club Plays. One of the most interesting char- acter roles in the show, Dame Dur- den, is being done by Frances Billie Johnson, '32, who has distinguished erselfin a number of dramatic parts during the current season.. Besides acting important parts in Comedy Club's "Streets of New York," and "Anthony and Anna," now'playing, she has been active in flay Production work. Miss John- son~ is pro minment in her home town. Gary, Indiana, for many amateur theatrical successes. Friar Tuck, the jovial and rotund cleric, will be played by Leon Snyd- er, '32A, who has among other things a state-wide reputation earned during a season of touring under the Butterfield interests. Be- sides this he has done regular work over WELM, Battle Creek. Aside froni music, Snyder has AINST AR I TO PLAY SHERIFF H. C. IOWARD been instrumental in almost every major theatrical endeavor of Battle Creek during the years since his graduation from high school there. In his capacity as an architect, which profession he intends ulti * mately to enter, he has designed the stage for the elaborate new Battle Creek college auditorium and theatre. His record includes organizing the campus players at Battle Creek col- lege and playing in "The Mikado" and "The Belle of Barcelona." Skoog to Play Little John. Herman Skoog, Spec., has been past in the role of Little John. For the past several years a student at the Rush conservatory in Chicago, Skoog has sung for several seasons with the Chicago civic light opera company. His rich baritone has been developed through more than ten years of experience in light op- era and on the concert stage. A number of operatic efforts in Ludington, his home town, have been lifted above the commonplace by his vocal technique. After achieving his A.B. in music the in- cumbent of the part of Little John plans to become a'professional singer or possibly voice instructor. The only Ann Arbor student to win a position on the cast is Hope Eddy, Spec., who graduated from the literary college in 1927. Miss Eddy is the co-holder of the posi- tion of Alan-a-Dale along with L. Carrey Greiner, Spec. Each actress was considered so necessary to the part that it was decided that the only fair compro- mise was to allow each to play the part on two successive nights. Miss Eddy has always lived in Ann Ar- bor, was prominent in Ann Arbor high school's "Pinefore" and has directed the choir at the church of Christ for a number of years. Brown to Have Lead. As leading man, Robin Hood, the only representative of the law school in the cast, George D. Brown, '34L, has been selected. Brown completed his undergraduate work at Mt. Union college in Ohio, where he managed the glee club and play- ed tackle on the football team. His first real contact with Mich- igan was in the Mt. Union-Mich- igan game two years ago. Besides achieving distinction in dramatics and debating as an undergraduate, Brown was a regular feature overi the air every week from WADC, Ak- ron. His home is in Alliance, Ohio.1 The second feminine lead will be taken by Helen VanLoon, '32SM, as Annabel. Miss VanLoon has an en-1 viable record of lyrilliant work in many branches of the musical art. 'Besides her reputation as a talented, vocalist, her exceptional piano, technique won her the coveted hon- or of champion of greater Detroit in that field in tfie 1928 competi- tion. She is particularly honored in her home, Highland Park, for a disting- uished recital given in 1930. In the entire Detroit area, moreover, hei name has been identified with pi- ano work for three years owing to her popularity in a program broad- cast weekly over the air from WJR. Her experience in singing Robim Hood began in High School and she has been connected with a number of light operatic porductions since then. Her voice work at the University is under Professor Hackett and she has played for the University sym- phony orchestra since her matricu- lation. Besides other broadcasting work, Miss VanLoon has been a fre- quent artist over the University sta- tion. Howard As Sheriff. Big, deep throated,- H. C. Howard, veteran director and actor for many years connected with the company of DeWolf Hooper, will play the part of the sheriff. Howard came to Ann Arbor more than a month ago, direct from Hooper's "Robin Hood" company, which was con- cluding a nation-wide tour in San Francisco. Since that time he has spent most of his waking hours training principals of the cast and teaching them some of the results of his fif- teen years of experience with light opera, the greater portion of which has been spent on the DeKoven "Robin Hood." Emmet Leib, '33, a tenor from Jackson, will be seen in the role of Sir Guy, the "smart alec" little as- sistant to the sheriff. Leib won sec- ond honors in a nation-wide popu- larity contest sponsored by Atwater Kent and has performed at times over WJR. Considerable experience in con- cert and glee club work in high school failed to interfere with an athletic career which includes dis- tinctions in football and basketball. At Hillsdale where Leib took the first two years of his college course a number of glee club concerts and dramatic events were enriched by his voice. New quarters for the American Judicature society, now located in the law school building, will com- prise a suite of offices on the third floor of the almost completed Hutchins hall. The American Judicature society, formerly affiliated with the Univer- sity of Chicago, moved its head- quarters here last year at the in- vitation of Henry M. Bates, dean of the law school, and the regents of the University. Herbert L. Har- ley, director of the organization, is also the editor of the publication which the society sponsors, "The Journal of the American Judicature Society." The society is the only organ- ization devoted exclusively, to the problems of judicial admnistration, and its interest extends to the en- lire field of administering justice throughout the country, according to Mr. Harley. The organization performs a needed function in acquainting lawyers and judges throughout the n ation concerning improvements in judicial administration and new ideas in this field, it was brought out by the director. In nearly every Is1 ate, the society is strongly allied with the associations of the bar and with the judicial councils, where these exist. Incorooration of the society took place in 1913, and since 1917 the journal has been regularly pub- lished and sent out free to anyone interested.

Herbert Silvester, president of the Chamber' of Commerce, has been appointed chairman of the cam- paign in the< seventh district of Michigan, which includes all of Washtenaw county except Ypsi- lanti, by H. T. Ewald of Detroit, state chairman. Approximately $1,100,000,000 is being stored in safety-deposit boxes and vaults instead of being in- vestedorsheld in bank accounts, campaigners believe. While that amount is significant, it represents a financial problem of much larger magnitude than that figure, due to the fact that a dollar removed from bank reserves decreases loaning power several times that amount. If the campaign should siucceed in putting an additional billion dollars in circulation, bank credit would be increased, according to Roland 1. Robinson of the Econo- mics department, by an amount considerably higher, cven if a large share of the money should go into other chancls of trade. Emphasis on the fact that banks in this district are sound in general is expected to encourage deposit of hoarded money. The Chamber of Commerce will discuss plans for opening the campaign at its meet- ing next Thursday noon. 11 now 11 HILLEL FOUNDATION Cor. East University Ave. & Oakland.
