BECK Despite the many and varied uses of cellophane today, one is still rather surprised to find Walt Disney using it as a material on which to draw "Mickey Mouse." However, there is our movie favorite, appearing in cel- lophane in the original drawings of "Mickey" and "Minnie Mouse," on exhibit in the large gallery on the third floor of the Architecture Build- ing. Disney's unique method is to paint his figures in tempora on sheets of cellophane. These, sometimes two and three in number, are mounted in front of the background scenes which are done in wash on the usual draw- ing paper. The result thus achieved is to throw the figures into sharp relief and at the same time create an added impression of depth. And what is probably the most amazing part of it all, despite the seeming dis- assemblance of the picture, Disney manages to effect a harmonized unity. Excerpts from several well-known "Silly Symphonies," such as "Three Little Pigs," "Father Noah's Ark," and "Old King Cole," are included in the display, which is open every day from 1 to 6 p.m. until the end of this week. When you go, you will chuckle again over the antics of the world's most delightful movie star, recalling vividly the scenes which ac- companied the selected bits as you saw them in the movies. You will be amazed, too, by the intricacies of de- tail and the wealth of imagination which Walt Disney's work reveals. The exhibit, shown under the au- spices of the Architectural Society, has attracted a large crowd so far. No one, apparently, is too old or too young to enjoy a showing of "Mickey Mouse." Journalistic Fraternity Gives Tea For Rushees Theta Sigma Phi, national honor- ary fraternity for women in journal- ism, is giving a rushing tea for 12 guests from 4 to 6 p.m. today, at the home of Mrs. John L.

By LOIS JOTTER A student of the famous Guild Hall Drama School of London, Bertha Bright Knapp, Grad., who has sung before King George and Queen Mary of England, is appearing as one of the principals in the cast of the Gil- bert and Sullivan comic opera, "The Gondoliers," which opened last night at the Lydia Mndelssohn Theatre for a four-day run. Mrs. Knapp, who plays the amus- ing role of the duchess of Plaza-Tor- ro, came to the United States after building a career in London, where, after studying at the Guild Hall School and also under Liza Lehmann, she played in the Savoy Theatre with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, the most prominent Gilbert and Sul- livan company in England. Since her arrival in this country, Mrs.'Knapp, now a resident of De- troit, has toured Michigan with the J. L. Hudson quartette, and is a soloist at the Grosse Pointe Presby- terian Church, as well as taking an active part in directing children's productions in Detroit. In spite of her very active life, she maintains a charming home for her husband and; two small sons, and commutes reg- ularly to Ann Arbor, where she is studying with the idea of becoming a director of plays, and more partic- ularly, of operas. Mrs. Knapp has the rare ability which singers. often lack, of putting her songs across with the art of an actress, according to Valentine B. League Stunt Night Features JGP Stars Stunt Night at the League last night featured acts from the current Junior Girls Play, "The Gang's All There," with Jack Nestle acting as master of ceremonies. The scrub women's trio of Maxine Maynard, Ruth Kaser, and Mary Morrison repeated their act which won, such popular favor, featuring the numbers "Crossing My Fingers" and "Ringing Out Rhythm." Charlotte Whitman, the versatile leading lady, sang her success from the show, "You, Only You," and fol- lowed this with a tap dance number with Beatrice Devine who played op- posite her in "Gang's All There." The concluding number featured Billie Griffiths, the night club blues singer, who sang "Grey Shadows." Sigma Rho Tau Debates Streawining Of Trains The proposition as -to whether a railroad corporation would profit by remodeling its trains to conform with streamlining principles was debated by members of Sigma Rho Tau in a meeting held last night in the Union. The arguments in favor of stream- lining, introduced by Robert Lowe, '36E, contended that lower operation costs and higher speeds would re- sult from such a plan. The opposi- tion, led by John O'Bryan, '34E, ar- gued that the new trains would be too light to hold the road, their in- creased speed would deteriorate the road beds, and the little difference in speed would not warrant the adop- tion of the plan anyway. SPECIAL COMMUNION SERVICE A special communion service will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in the Baptist Church in connection with the Easter Week program. The Rev. R. Edward Sayles will conduct the service, which will be augmented by special music.

"The Gondoliers" cast is thus made up entirely of University students, both from Play Production and the School of Music. An alternate cast will be used for different perform- ances, since understudies have been trained for many of the roles. The1 cast for tonight, however, will be the same as that of last night, with the exceptions of the part of Gianetta, taken last night by Margaret Burke, '34SM, which will be taken tonight by Helen Haxton, '36, and the part of Fiametta in which Mildred Stroup, '36SM, will replace Kathryn Hilde- brand, '35. Further changes will be made in the cast for the perform- ances to be given tomorrow and Sat- urday nights, as well as for the spe- cial matinee to be given Saturday.

French Club Will Present Comedy May 1 Marcel Pagnol's 'Topaze' Chosen For Vehicle Of Aninual Prod uction Le Cercle Francais has chosen for its play this year one of the most brilliant comedies presented in Paris, in recent years, Marcel Pagnol's "To- paze." The play which is now in re- hearsal, according to M. Rene Tala- mon, director, will be given by the club on May 1. "Topaze" is widely known in Amer- ica from the successful film of the same name in which John Barrymore was starred. At the Varieties The- atre in Paris, where the premiere wasI held in 1928, it had a phenomenal run of more than two year's, and has since' been played on the stages of almost every European capital. "Topaze" is the story of an engag- ing and ingenuous schoolmaster who becomes enmeshed in the graft and4 corruption of big city politics. It is a gay and altogether amusing piece, said to be pungently satirical without ever becoming unpleasant. The dia- logue is witty and sophisticated, and the plot absorbing. "Topaze," rep- resenting as it does the newest and most modern in French drama, is an. interesting contrast to last year's per- formance of the older school, Mo- liere's "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme." The cast has been chosen for the production, and will be announced soon.
