Smart For Evening
'Str
eet Scene' Pr oves Unusual Michigan Dame Campus Celebrities To Sing
In Opportunities For Women Groups Begin! On Radio Variety Pro grani
As a general rule, there are always
more women with dramatic interests
and abilities than men but usually
the number of parts for women is in
reverse proportion. However, in El-
mer Rice's "Street Scene" the women
have just as much of the glory and
have nearly as many parts in the play
as the men.
There will be about 25 women in
' the cast when the play opens next
Friday night. Of these 25, every type
of woman who might be living in a
tenement, from the gossipy Irish
laundress to the conscientious school
teacher is portrayed. There is the
Swedish overworked janitress whose
husband bullies her, the fat and
comfortable German wife of an er-
rant Italian musician. It is a true
"slice of life" which the women in
Play Production will help to depict.
Women To Help!
But not only Is there work to be
done in the actual acting, but cos-
tumes, sets and properties all are to
be aided by women in the department.
A huge set is needed for "Street
Scene" and hammer and nails, paint,
even saws will be found in the hands
of women working on the two and aI
half story setting.
Posters and programs for the play
have been designed by a woman in
-As~ociated Press Photo the Architectural School, Harriet
Cook. She has made linoleum blocks
This new black evening wrap, its which will be used in the printing of
wide ermine sleeves falling from a Ihnrarams and posters
of the play.
Sarah Pierce, '35, has perhaps the.
queerest assignment of all the com-
mittees. It is her task to find stretch-
ers, baby carriages, doctors' satchels
and garbage cans, all needed as propsj
for "Street Scene."
Less romantic, but nevertheless as
important is the job of Alice Morgan,
'35, who is in charge of the box office.
Jane Fletcher, '36, is constructing the1
program and Reta Peterson, '36, and
Jean Currie, Grad, will be in charge
of the ushers.
In less than two and a half weeks
from the beginning of rehearsals,
"Street Scene" Will be presented in
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre and it is
greatly to the credit of the women
in the course who are working so
diligently on none tooaeasy tasks thatj
the play will be as finished as is
promised,

Soft lights - sweet music, - the
ideal combination for those precious
hours of leisure that are spent in one's
room. The radio or the portable "vic"
can provide the sweet music, but the
effect of the soft lights is aided by
means of lamps.
For the definitejy feminine room,
the style of lamps follows a distinctI
pattern. They are, almost without
exception, of white or pastel colors,
that softly blend with frilly curtains'
and bedspreads. Alabaster has re-
gained its popularity and is very at-
tractive as a lamp base in pink, green,
yellow, or white, or in a combined
mixture of several of these shades.
Table and dressed lamps are fea-
tured in innumerable novelty styles.
The "mystic" lamp, for example, has
a mirror base which the shaft is
made in spherical form, connoting a
medium's crystal. Another lamp of
similar type is called the "constella-
tion" lamp. Designed to represent
the planet Saturn, -the globe of the
light is divided by a pseudo-axis.
If one prefers lamps in pairs the
new modernistic torchieres are smart
for the dressing table. The globe of
ground glass is tube-shaped while the
base is made of a series of circles in
Assemble Costumes
The cast will contain about 60 per-
sons which presents those in charge
with the difficulty of collecting all of
the modern costumes by next Friday.
For such a large cast in itself it is
difficult to assemble costumes, but
when there are demands for police
uniforms, internes outfits, clothes for
the old clothes man, the task becomes
a particularly arduous one. Virginia
Frink, '35, is working on that part
alternating silver and black. Mod-
ernistic lines are also carried out in
bases of imported pottery and enamel.
The "candle-stick" lamp, although
not particularly, is a wise choice for
a bare end-table. They come in both
china and bronze. The latter, in
bronze gives the lamp an appearance
of the old-fashioned oil-lamps, and
a practical feature is that the base
can be used as an ash-tray.
Thumb-nail glass in both amber
and crystal is rapidly replacing the
popularity of hob-nail. In crystal,
it comes with a very novel shade. The
latter is called "claire de lune" and
is made of a composition celluloid
that is not inflammable. It is trim-
med with crystal beads and looks like
ground glass when lighted.
Porcelain still remains the, most
distinctive material for the lamp-
shade. One genuine porcelain shade
has Greek music written on it. It is
imported from Italy, and was in its
original form, the page of a book of
Greek hymns. Transparent glass and
cellophane are battling for second
place in the lamp-shade popularity
contest.

L ET the Elizabeth Dilloni Shop in-
troduce your perfect classmate:
it's a two-piece diagonal angora
in a truly Erin shade of Hinter's
green with bouncy round wooden
buttons. What's more, it's interest-
ingly tailored and priced. There's
also quite a selection of wools and
those increasingly popular velvet-
een jackets with tweed skirts and
ascots. The wools are all kinds,
colors and descriptions . . . and
just a little bit unusual . . . stripes,
plaids, checks or plain and they
range from $5.95 to $12.50.
TALK about "singing in the
shower" . . . you'll croon-your
very best in a "bath by Lentheric."
They have a complete line of acces-
sories which includes a "Tuile pour
le bain" (bath oil, to you) that
softens and perfumes the water.
Yardley has a new wrinkle called
Lavendomeal which is also a per-
fumed softener. There's an attrac-
tive gift package of bath-saltsby
Dorothy Grey and for the very,
very smartthere's always Chanel's
Talc . . . and they're all waiting
for you at Calkins-Fletcher's.

BANG goes the thermometer and
so does everyone else ... to the
University Fashion Shop for some
balbriggan p.j.'s... they're all two-

tricky crew necks .. . quite nautical
but very nice! And while we're dis-
cussing "miladies aids," you should
see the outlay of purses (indis-
pensable even when empty) and
initialed handkerchiefs and the
Corticello hose, very very sheer for
only $1.25. Lucy Ann Brazil, mo-
deste specializing in alterations
and remodelling, is now located at
the U. Fashion Shop . . just don't
forget!

HATS have certainly attained a
new peak this season both in
actual height and in names . . .
have you tried the Robin Hood or
the -Tricorn? Or perhaps you'd
look well in a Desperado? At the
Robert's Hat Shop we found the
very newest in head-gear . . . it's
called the Cossack. It is entirely
different with that smart "away
from the face" line that is highly
approved just now by the connois-
seurs of such. Another scoop from
those who know is that hats are
going gay as to color . . red, blue
and green.
THEY'RE back again! We really
should call up a Pep meeting
or some such celebration to wel-
come the return of the caramel
apples . . big red juicy apples
dipped in the most luscious cara-
mel icing. Why not revert to your
childhood days of circuses and
fairs, forget your sophomoric dig-
nity and "buy an apple -5c." Of
course, they're at the Carmel Crisp
Shop along with the biggest pop-
corn in town, that creamy fudge
and "reducoid" potato-chips.
