4-inch Leads - Latest Mechanism
302 South State St.
By MARIE MURPHY
The plot for "Gang's All There"
involves some really dramatic scenes,
judging from rehearsals, for sparks
fly when Virginia Chapman, as the
hard-boiled, temperamental leading
lady of the show within the show,
flares up at Mack, the young pro-
ducer, played by Marie Abbott.
When Mack is "put on the spot" by
Scarface Joe, the underworld menace,
played by Beatrice Devine, it requires
some fast talking, and clever strategy
on the part of the former to extri-
cate himself from the situation.
Miss Chapman fits effortlessly into
her part as Velura Velmar, who says
she is from Argentina and never for-
gets for a minute that she has played
before the crowned heads of Europe.
The harried young producer has fre-
quent and wordy outbursts with that
blond and experienced lady, who is
so sure of her box office appeal.
Scarface Joe, that gangster villain,
s determined that his fate will not
be that of the crooked politicians
who had been laughed out of town
by Mack's production of the previous
year satirizing them, "The Sweet
Land of Liberty."
When his threats scare Mack's
chorus so that they show signs of
a wdlk out, it is Fanny, the clever,
but plump little chorine who has been
relegated to the back row because of
her obvious love of chocolates, who
shames them into sticking with the
show. Charlottle Whitman, as Fanny,
well portrays this poor dancer, hope-
lessly in love with the director to
whom she is just "one of the gals."
Fanny's devotion is so great that

Dramatic Productions
Offered At League
Spontaneous entertainment afford-
ed by members of the stunt night
crowd, with special emphasis on se-
lections from the forthcoming cam-
pus dramatic productions, were pre-
sented last night in the League grill-
room.
S. Leon Kaye. '34, who has writ-
ten several of the pieces to be heard
in "Gang's All There," offered an-
other of his own selections, "Rhap-
soday in Space," a piano number,
finishing up with "The Man I Love,"
and "And Then My Heart Stood
Still," in which he accompanied the
singing of John Silberman, '34.
The love scene duet from "The
Gondoliers," Gilbert and Sullivan op-
era to be presented later this month,
was sung by Jean Seeley, '36, and
Robert Miller, '34, who were accom-
panied by Joseph N. Conlin, SpecSM.
In a balcony skit parodying "Ro-
meo and Juliet," Louise Pliss, '34,
played the part of Beck Glantz, and
Silberman the part of Boitram Yatz.
Byron Dalrymple, author of many
J.G.P. selections, sang "Grey Day
Gal," and "Why Can't This Night
Go On Forever?" Silberman was
master of ceremonies.
Etching And Print
Exhibit Opens Here

orints opens this afternoon in the

p.m. until March 22. The group of

Laughlan is loaned by the Toledo
Museum of Art. The exhibition of
prints, selected by Edith Gregor Hal-
pert from the American Prints Mak-
ers exhibit of 1933, is sent from New
York City.
The galleries will be opened from
8 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, March 15,
for the lecture which Wilfred B.
Shaw, Director of Alumni Relations,
is giving in connection with the ex-
hibit. There will also be a talk at
2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 18, by Wal-
ter Donnelly, editor of the University
Museums Publications.
A group of engineering students at
the U. of North Dakota threw one of
the student solicitors, who was try-
ng to force faculty members to sub-:
scribe to a University news organ,
into the campus lagoon. The action
was prompted by the 60 per cent sal-
ary cut given the faculty members
and the sympathetic nature of the
engineers.
at the crucial moment she "does a
Cinderella," saves the day, the show
goes on, and she gets her man.
The comic element of the play is
sustained more by the minor cast
parts than the leads. The emphasis
in the latter case is upon the ex-
cited, strained feeling that exists
just before a big production is to
open, while the lesser characters are
able to form either clever or ludic-
rous relief.

Russian Quintet
Completes First
Year OfActivity'
Student Group Interprets
And Traces Development
Of Native Folk Songs
The Russian Student Quintet, man-
aged by Gregory Dolgorukov, will
celebrate the anniversary of its first
rehearsal Saturday. Since those first
days, when the group was a male
quartet, there have been changes and
today it boasts a soprano soloist and
a Cossack dancer in its number. The
group has broadcast several times re-
cently, although it has made no cam-
pus appearances, and will be heard
at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow over Station
WJR. Saturday the quintet is offering
a program of native songs and in-
strumental music at the Detroit In-
stitute of Art, in conjunction with
the internationally-known Russian
Balalaika Orchestra.
One of the most charming members
of the group is Madame Tatiana
Maksoutova, soprano, wife of another
member of the group, Constantine
Maksoutova, '34E. Joseph Kalom,
Grad., first tenor, formerly with the
American Opera Co. of Chicago, and
an NBC artist, is the only member
previously engaged ia professional
singing. Combining his duties as sec-
ond tenor with those of business
manager and announcer for the radio
programs, Gregory Dolgorukov, '34L,
is the fourth member of this inter-
esting group.
The only one of the singers born
in this country is John Dubrovsky,
'35, St. Louis. He is the newest mem-
ber of the organization, having been
broken in only recently following the
graduation last semester of Alexis
Sokoloff. Victor Kibardin, Grad., the
Cossack dancer, came to this country
from Perm, Russia.
The quintet sings entirely in Rus-
sian and according to the Russian
methods, basing everything on the,
highest voice. Consequently the col-
lege songs which the group has re-
arranged are scarcely recognizable as
such. It is the aim of the group,
according to Dolgorukov, to discover
the historic values in the modern ver-
sions of Russian songs, and to inter-
pret them as nearly as possible in
terms of the originals.
Dolgorukov draws a sharp distinc-
tion between popular and folk songs.
The former, he says, answer the mood
of the moment and are of known
origin, while the latter are of un-
known origin and can be traced back,
in some cases, to Slavic pagan songs
of the eighth century.
