OVEER TN
WEEK-END

The last week-end was rather a
quiet one, although there were a
number of small parties. Perhaps
the weather had something to do
with it, and of course 200 of the
junior women were tied up in re-
hearsal of "Gang's All There," which
opens tomorrow night in Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre (with the tradi-
tional invitational performance for
senior women, faculty members, hon-
ored guests, and a few students who
will purchase tickets to fill the house).
The Union dances Friday and Sat-
urday nights were well attended, and
the Delta Kappa Epsilon formal par-
ty Friday night and the Mosher Hall
St. Patrick's dance Saturday helped
the general festivities along. Seen at
the Deke dance were Winifred Pike,
in blue with a cleverly-cut train;
Grace Mayer, League president, in a
flame lace with chartreuse trim; and.
Mary Stirling, in black and white.
Pastels are coming into their an-
nual popularity, prettier and more
chic than they ever have been be-
fore. A number of the style-wise
women are choosing them for their
dressier frocks, and perhaps the
smartest note is the traditional and
ever-so-becoming ;black, in lighter
materials to match the spring mood.
The residents of Mosher Hall en-
tertained in honor of the Irish pa-
tron saint with an informal dance
in the Mosher lounges. The pastels
and brilliantly-colored gowns were
gay and charming against the deco-
ration of sidelighted shamrock and
the yellow of daffodils set off by
green lighting.
Lenore LeGendre, Mosher presi-
dent, was gowned in blue and white,
with a fitted white taffeta jacket.
Linda. Crosby, social secretary of the
hall, chose crepe in Eleanor blue with
a high neckline edged with white
gardenias. iarjory Winch wore or-
ange crepe with rhinestones trim,
and Betty Morgan, freshman presi-
dent, appeared in a wine-colored
gown.
Chaperons for the party, which
more than 50 couples attended, were!
Mrs. Edward Legendre, Calumet;
Mrs. Frederick Ray, and Miss Kath-
erine Koch, '32.
Mr. Walter Donnelly, editor of the
University Museums Publications,
gave a gallery talk Sunday afternoon
in connection with the exhibition of
etchings and prints sponsored by tie
Ann Arbor Art Association, and on
view in the three upstairs galleries
of Alumnae Memorial Hall.
The "13 etchings by Donald Shaw
MacLaughlan, exhibited in the large
gallery, come from the Toledo Mu-
seum as the gift of Miss Alice Roul-
lier of Chicago, and represent slight-
ly more than half of tacLaughlan's
life work. His etchings are said to
show strongly the influence of Rem
brandt, Meryon and Whistler. M4ost
of his plates were done abroad, many
of them architectural subjects, and
he is considered one of the soundest
of the etchers working in what might
be called the traditional "grand
manner."

Lucille Douglass'
Work In Etchings
Shown At Exhibits'
If you enjoy color and vitality in
your art, by all means take in the
current exhibit of pastels and etch-
ings by Lucille Douglass, on view in
the ground corridor of the Archi-
tectural Building. The selected group
of works by this well known artist,
lecturer, and journalist consists of
vivid interpretations of the dazzling
pageantry of color and splendor that
is life in the Far East.
Miss Douglass spent three years in
Indo-China and several months in
the islands of Bali and Java. While
in Angkor, she worked with the
French archeologists, thus obtaining
a background of authenticity which
has proved most valuable in her
artistic and literary work. Miss
Douglass' exhibit brings to Ann Ar-
bor all the glamor, charm and mys-
tery of the Orient as she found it in
the ancient temples and monuments.
Her most brilliant effects in pas-
tel are achieved by the use of vivid
blues and greens, with sharp con-
trasts of light and shadow, and
splashes of yellow sunshine.

CoWplete Cast
Of Junior Play
Is AuunuWed
'Gang's All There' Is To
Open Tomorrow Night;
Lead Taken By De Vine
With the Michigan Union Band
accompanying, the junior women will
open the 30th annual Junior Girls
Play, "Gang's All There," tomorrow
night at the Lydia Mendelssohn The-
atre.
Beatrice DeVine will appear as
Mac, the young producer with the
ingenious ability of getting himself
into scrapes and getting out again
only with great difficulty. He is
ably assisted in finding trouble by
the hated "Scarface Joe," king of the
underworld, played by Marie Abbott.
Chapman Also Appears
His leading lady, the sophisticated
and hardboiled Velura Velmar, played
by Virginia Chapman, is another
source of trouble. Mickie Powers, a
part taken by Beatrice Graham, is
the weak-hearted individual who is
frightened out of being the lead in
Mac's play and elopes with the cho-
rine from Park Avenue, Camilla Bow-
man.
Charlotte Whitman, as Fanny, is
the plump little chorine who at the
crucial moment does a "Cinderella"
which saves the day.
Her friend and counsellor, the po-
ker-faced song and dance man, Kel-
ley, is played by Nan Diebel. Mac's
secretary is Heather Trimm. taken by
Kathleen Carpenter, who looks like
a dowager but has a complete back-
stage vocabulary.
Comic Moments
Others who add color and vitality
to the comic moments of the play
are: the little song, seller from the
country, Mary Morrison; a stage
hand with more thumbs than brains,
Barbara Sutherland; and a window-
washer with an eye to the stage, Jane
Cissel.
A typical scene in a Harlem night
club brings forth the usual con-
glomeration of characters headed, of
course, by Henrietta, the hostess her-,
self, Gertrude Shorz. Then there is
the well-preserved dowager, Sally
Stapleton; her gigolo, Madelyn Coe;
the two unidentified gentlemen in
top hats, Kathleen Patterson and
Margaret Kasley; the Greenwich
Village couple, Betty; Talutt and
Nancy Shepherd, and Joe's gang.
Many Choruses
The mugs and molls chorus, one
of the several included, consists of
Madelyn Coe, Rosalind Greenberg,
Gertrude Shutz, Alice Morgan, Mar-
ion Brooks, Ann Mitchell, Betty Tal-
cutt, Marjorie W a r n e r, Margaret
Kasley, Isabel. Carry, Betty Gillard,
Betty Wunsch, Helen Woodward,
Helen Barr, Louise Van Ameringen,
Ruth Root, Barbara Jean Owens,
Bessie Curtis, Caroline Wose, and
Mary Paul.
In the "high yaller gal" chorus
there are Velma Wilson, Eleanor
Blodgett, Harriet Oleksieuch, Rowena
Goldstein, Ruth Kaser, Anita Noble,
Rita Peterson, Marion Bertsch, Doro-
thy Wikel, and Rosemary Osborn.

othy Hall, Margaret Phalan, Betty,
Aigler, Jane Langenderfer, Janice
Rice, Mary Stirling, Mary O'Brien,
Mable Lennon,.Virginia Morgan, Ber-
nice Wetherald, and Ann Osborn.
Gangster Chorus
The villainous gangsters of Joe's
gang are portrayed by Maxine May-~
nard, Helene Gramm, Harriet Speiss,

IBy FLORECNCE 1ARER
Starving in a garret may be ro-
mantic and living in a room high
up under the eaves may givemyou a
sort of a picturesque story-book feel-
ing, but aforesaid room loses all its
glamour when it is studied from the
angle of the interior decorator who
is trying to make it into a com-
fortable habitat for a college girl.
In any dormitory or sorority house
there are numerous rooms that seem
to have been made from bargain
remnants of left-over space. They
are usually on the top floor and con-
tain all sorts of weird corners and
angles made by sloping roofs and
dormer windows. These present a
very real problem in arrangement
and decoration.
If the room is fairly large and
contains only one or two awkward
features the best thing to do is to
ignore them or at least endeavor to
make others ignore them. This can
Helen Wilson, Mary Earnshaw, Elea-
nor Heath, Mary Morrison, Margaret
Hertrick. The little Viennese doctors
will be taken by Mary Hutchinson,
Barbara Sutherland, Stella Glass,
Sarah Scott, Charlotte Anderson,
Marjorie Israel, Althea Lisle, Betty
Merril, Virginia Denne, Constance
Cavender, Delta Glass, and Helene
Lindenbaum.
The accompanying chorus of nurs-
es consists of Helen McDonald, Vir-
ginia Koch, Virginia Mathews, Freda
Feigel, Genevieve Field, Ann Hardy,
Ruth Bosse, Mary Lou Elspass, Jane
Brucker, Kitty Rucker, Estelle Stan-
dish, and Esther Meglos.
The night gown chorus from this
same scene is made up of Janet Gib-
son, Lucile Betz, Helen Crawford,
Nancy Johnson, Jessie Statler, Min-
na Griffin. The pajama chorus has
Betty VanDyne, Alice Goodwin, Mar-
jorie Solomon, Isabel Singer, Patricia
Woodward, and Lavinia Creighton.
In the steam cabinets in the hospital
will be Betty Sibert, JeanI n e t t e
Greene, Lucy Cope, Ruth Kaser,Mary
Earnshaw, and Margaret Hertrick.
Those in the Underworld Rhythm
chorus are Dorothy Parks, Maxine
Maynard, Mary Morrison, Helene
Gramm, Eleanor Heath, Betty Mc-
Omber, Margaret Hertrick.
Singing Choruses
All the singing choruses consist
of almost the same persons for all
are taken from the special chorus
of 30 voices trained by Prof. Arthur
Hackett. The scrub women's group
therefore is similar to Joe's gang,
the "high yeller gals," the Under-
world Rhythm, and the women in
the steam boxes. They are Maxine
Maynard, Mary Earnshaw, Helene
Gramm, Mary Morrison, Eleanor
Heath, Dorothy Wikel, Billie Grif-
fiths, Eleanor Blodgett, and Marion
Bertsch.
The voices off stage are the radio
announcer, Sarah Pierce, and Greta
Garbo, Betty Aigler. Others present
in the night club scene are the cigar-
ette girl, Mary Paul, Will Wetzel, the
columnist, Barbara Sutherland, the
waiter, Marjorie Warner, and the
torch singer, Billie Griffiths.
J.G.P. Tickets For Wednesday
The remaining tickets for the
Wednesday night performance,
Senior Night, of "Gang's All
There" are now open to the pub-
lic, according to the announce-
ment last night of Hilda Kirby,
finance chairman.
