THE MICHIGAN DAILY I C AMPUS SOCI ETY , . , Betsy Barbour Holds Dinner For Ruthvens Dining Room Decorated To Simulate Shipboard; Faculty Members There A nautical air pervaded Betsy Bar- bour house last night when the dor-. mitory's rooms were dressed up with steamship-like fittings for a cap- tain's dinner honoring President and Mrs. Alexander G. Ruthven who sail for Egypt on Dec. 12 aboard the S. S. Eochorda. A gangplank was constructed be- tween the parlor and the dining room which guests had to walk on their way to dinner. Steamer tickets were used as place cards and a good- luck ship in the center of the cap- tain's table wished the travelers "bon voyage." The waitresses wore sailor's costumes and the guests were called to dinner by Jean Gourlay, '37, who sounded the mess call. Black and white candles lighted the dining room and white roses, myriads of gayly-colored balloons and paper hats completed the deco- rations. Dessert, ice-cream molded in the form of a ship, added to the sea-going atmosphere. Among the members of the fac- ulty and townspeople who attended the affair honoring the Ruthvens were: Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Bruce, Prof. and. Mrs. C.. S. Yoakum, Shirley Smith, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Earhart, Prof. and Mrs. J. S. Reeves, Prof. and Mrs. Everett Brown, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Inglis, Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Hunt, and Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Homes. Viviani Vischer, '35, arranged the details, assisted by Lucille Root, '34, house president, and Sue Mahler, '35, social chairman. Women To Have Special Feature In New Gargoyle Women are to have an exclusive and undisputed spot in the new Gar- goyle. The two page feature, "Soph- isticated Lady," is a new venture in the way of women's fashion columns, according to Tom Powers, editor of the, Gargoyle, in that the purpose is to deal wholly with the needs of uni- versity women, and more specifically with that of this particular campus. With that idea in mind material for the' column will be gathered from observations around the campus and at the various dances, Powers said. In order to bring the column even more directly to the students photo graphs illustrating the article will be made of women on campus model- ing costumes from local shops. Nancy, Olds, '37, and Marian Donaldson, '37,1 will be photographed for the Novem- ber issue. "Sophisticated Lady" is being writ- ten by Carol Hanan, '34. In discuss- ing the coming number Miss Hanan stated, "I intend to talk about a1 custom exclusive to the women on the campus, and one that is rapidly turning into a tradition that has heretofore been neglected." A pamphlet. on college etiquette,E sponsored by Kappa Omicron Phi, honorary home economics society, is to go on sale soon at Marshall Col-a lege. . College Audiences Hold No Fears For Miss Blanche Ring By A. ELLIS BALL College towns and student audiences are no novelty to Blanche Ring, vet- eran musical comedy star who is tak- ing the part of Carlotta Vance in Robert Henderson's stage production of "Dinner at Eight" running this week at the Majestic Theatre. Not only has. she played in Ann Arbor three times previously, in "Yankee Girl," "Wall Street Girl," and "Claudia Smiles," but she was for years a favorite with Harvard students. Whenever she .was playing Boston the first three rows of the theatre were regularly reserved for Harvard students who called them- selves her "Angel Choir" and reg- ulai'ly sent her a bunch of American Beauty roses. Miss Ring said in an interview yesterday that even now as she is traveling around the coun- try she occasionally receives a bunch of roses before a performance signed, "From one of your Angel Choir." Miss Ring was the first actress in America with whom the audience joined in on the chorus of a song. When she sang "In the Good Old Summer Time" in "The Defender" the tune was so catchy that before she finished the whole house was singing with her. Miss Ring, whose favorite expres- sion is "lousy" -pronounced "la" as in laugh, and "ow" as in how - and who likes to entertain at home be- cause she can "take down her hair and call a spade a dirty shovel," is going to take a local girl named Or- phan Annie with her when she leaves town. Orphan Annie is the little black Peke with the crumpled leg which she carries on the stage with her and will, Miss Ring hopes, take the placeof her other Peke, Mussolini, who died two years ago. Last night over a nation-wide radio broadcast on a program with Fred Stone, Will Rogers, and McIntyre & Heath, Miss Ring sang "With Rings on Her Fingers," another song which she made famous. Miss Ring, who broadcast her part of the program from the University studios, will sing this song as a curtain call after the last act of "Dinner at Eight" for the remainder of the week. Sophomore Cabaret To Use Old Music In 1910 American dance music was revolutionized by the ragtime. Old sentimental polkas gave way to the new ideas of wild jazz, which, with the mellowing influence of age, has developed into our modern, languor- ous music. That was just 23 years ago, and yet when the entertainment committee of Sophomore Cabaret tried to find some pieces written dur- ing that period for their choruses they found it almost impossible. Organized attic hunts for such pieces proved fruitless. All seemed lost until Mrs. Leo Burns, 2118 Charl- ton St., appeared. Mrs. Burns, who was in the Junior Girls Play in 1922, had a collection given to her by a friend of almost all the popular music of this period. In it were most of the songs the Sophomore Cabaret want- ed, including the Yankee Consul, which will be the opening number. However, they still are hunting for numbers and would appreciate any contributions.
