At this point as a mnatter of fact, it has possession of two pigeons and is debating whether to change the script so as to make the bird in the show twins, or to set up an animal and poultry establish- ment. It all began when Betty Chaspman, assistant chairman of the production, was assigned the task of procuring the pigeon, and upon failing to de- velop the proper technique for catch- ing a pigeon in a wastebasket, hired a small boy named. Kenneth to get one for her. But unfortun- ately Kenneth broke his arm and was not able to carry out the con- tract. As a last resort Miss Chap- man suggested that he might have a brother who was an expert pigeon catcher, but Kenneth confessed in a hopeless tone that, "Naw, all I got's sisters." Though destitute of brothers, Ken- neth apparently has plenty of friends for there has been a steady. stream Snnual Sring Band Concert To Feature Gershwin An innovation in the way of pro- gram selection for the University Band will be made this year when that organization will play an ar- rangement of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" at its annual spring concert, George Hall, '3BAd., manager of the band, announced yes- terday. The particular version which will be used has been arranged by Ber- nard Hirsch, Grad. Mr. Hirsch has been acting conductor of the Varsity Band this year in th absence of Nicholas Falcone. The concert this year will again be given In Hill Auditorium. April 3rd has been set for the date of the per- formance. Mr. Hirsch took his uhdergraduate work at the School of Music and as- sisted last year in conducting the spring concerts. Cercle Francais To Give Play, Lecture The French play, "Le Jeu de 1'- Amour et du Hasard" by Marivaux, will be produced by the Cercle Fran- cais, April 30. The play is a master- piece of eighteenth century comedy and is considered one of Marivaux's best plays, according to Prof. Rene Talamon, in charge of the play. The play is a light and clever com- 3dy and is typical of the theater of that period, he said. The fifth Cercle Francais lecture will be given Wednesday, March 20, .it 4:15 p.m. in Room 1Q3 Romance Language Building. Prof. Warner F. Patterson of the French department will speak on "Marc-Antoine de Saint- Amant, Poete Grotesque." Saint-Amant was one of the more nteresting personages of the seven- eenth century, a musician of note, a soldier, and a traveler, Professor Patterson said. / of applicants offering their services in behalf of the Junior Girls' Play. One even brought the pigeon which is now beating its wings against the screens of the back porch of the Gamma Phi Beta House. At the same time another bird is reposing more or less calmly in the railroad station. This one was pro- cured through negotiations with a Detroit pet store, the proprietor of which was shocked at Miss Chap- man's lack of interest in the sex of her prospective protege, assuring her that that was the most important item and that the order could not be shipped until the sex was specifically stated. University Orchestra To Play For Shakespeare Presentation By ELEANOR JOHNSON there is an ascending motif. When During the week of March 25, resi- Puck later wakes them by another dents of Ann Arbor will not only have fairy potent, the same motif is used, the opportunity of seeking one of in an inverted order. Shakespeares most perfect plays, but will also be able to hear a musical score which in itself is well known. Anyone who has heard the Univer- sity orchestra work on the music for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will realize that through.a great deal of hard work, the some 50 members of the group who will play for the per- formances are working Felix Mendel- ssohn's score into very presentable shape. Writing Was Limited Mendelssohn was limited in writ- ing for this play as there were to be no solo voices on the stage. However, what handicap that was, was over- come with his overture, interludes and finale. He has developed in this opera, themes characteristic of the individ- uals in the cast, and which are heard in the orchestra when the person makes his entrance on the stage. The dance of Puck, the themes of the other cast members are found in the overture. A scherzo and a nocturne separate three of the acts. The original play was written to celebrate the wedding of nobles and the famous "Wedding March" forms the interlude between the fourth and fifth acts. Music Is Background The music during the speaking parts of the play will be for the most part, incidental. Like the chorus, the orchestra tends toward an effect, a background rather than the state- ment of any separate idea. There are composer's tricks in this music which guarantees to delight the audience. For example, when Puck squeezes the juice of a flower on the eyes of each of the sleeping couples London Opera Company Is To PlIa yDetroit The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company from the Savoy Theater, London, will appear at the Wilson Theater for a week beginning Monday, March 18. The company is making a tout' throughout the United States. The repertoire for Detroit is as follows: Monday night, "The Gon- doliers"; Tuesday- night, "Trial by Jury," followed by "The Pirates of Penzance"; Wednesday, matinee and night, "The Mikado"; Thursday night, "The Yeomen of the Guard"; Friday night and Saturday matinee, "Io- lanthe," and *Saturday night, "The Gondoliers." THETA KAPPA PSI At a formal initiation ceremony held recently, the following men be- came members of Theta Kappa Psi fraternity: William D. Frostic, '37M, Louis E. Doerr, '38M, Reynold Haas, '38M, Roy Herschelmann, '38M, Don- ald F. Moore, '38M, and D. Bernard Foster, '38M. Realizing the difficulty of combin- ing fairy features with a good singing voice, there will be no singing chorus on the stage. Twelve voices selected from the Women in Choral Union1 will occupy the organ loft of thef theater. The only solos will also be sung from above the stage. For all five performances there will be an orchestra of 50 pieces. Dr. Earl V. Moore, who is directing all the music of the show, states that Men- delssohn's score demands at least that number to make the music sound." The opening night will be Wednes- day, March 27. Because of the sym- phony concert Thursday night, there will be a matinee at 3:15 p.m. The last evening performances will be Friday and Saturday nights. A mat- inee will also be given Saturday af- ternoon. Tickets are available now and are priced at 35, 50 and 75 cents. Spe- cial rates are made for the afternoon performances and£for groups. Garden Club Is Addressed By Dean Dana Dean Samuel T. Dana of the School of Forestry and Conservation opened a three-day session of the Ypsilanti Garden Club Thursday night with a talk on the "Origin of the Conserva- tion Movement in Michigan." "The Conservation movement in Michigan in its present form," said Dean Dana, "originated during the first ten years of this century when the first state forests were set aside by' the Legislature." He pointed out that since that time the original 34,000 acres have grown to nearly a million embracing state forests, parks, and game refuges, Prof. Shirley W. Allen of the School of Forestry and Conservation will ad- dress the group tonight oi forests and the prevention of useless fires in Michigan. It is expected that groups of mem- bers of the Ann Arbor Garden Club, of the garden section of the Faculty Women's Club, and of the garden di- vision of the Women's Club of Ann Arbor will be in attendance at the session, sponsored by the Ypsilanti Garden Club, which invites the public to the lectures.

NIX &NAXJ At last lamp designers have come to the aid of students with myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. You can now spend many long and enjoyable hours studying for mid-se- mesters and not be bothered with blurry and aching eyes, if you invest in one of the new reflector lights. They stand about five feet high, and cast the light directly upward, so that they don't cast shadows on your books, nor do they tire your eyes with harsh, glaring light. The slim bases are made of shining chromium in a simple modernistic design, and they taper outward at the top, throw- ing light over the whole room. Many Are Stocked The only disadvantage to them is that you can't have the alibi of tired eyes as an excuse to stop study- ing and relax every few minutes. The architects and engineers have already discovered them and as a result the stores are having a rather difficult time keeping them in 'stock. If you're merely hunting for some- thing decorative in the way of a lamp, you'll have an easy time of finding what you like this 'spring. Crystal and chromium makes a nice combina- tion when used on a pair of boudoir lamps, and when the base to these lamps is of onyx, that makes them something extra-special. The shades that come with this set harmonize with the modernistic idea, and are made very simply of white parch- ment. Crystal Lamps Seen Crystal sticks are used effectively alone on another pair of boudoir lamps we saw on display in an Ann Arbor shop. They are topped off with some black and white shades. Lamps are going sophisticated .on us this spring. They don't give a great deal of light, but if you merely want a very frivolous and yet good-looking lamp, they'll be the answer to your SATURDAY SALE of DRYESSES VERY SPECIALs Mrs. Herbert Upton. Mosher Tea Dance Held On Thursday A tea dance was held at Mosher Hall, Thursday afternoon, March 14, from 4 till 5:30. Mrs. James D. Bruce and Mrs. Clarence Yoakum poured. The decorations featured St. Pat- rick's Day colors with green candles and a green centerpiece on the tea table. A piano and saxophone com- bination provided dance music. Betty Walsh, '37, was in charge of the affair. prayer. They're rather squat, and have shades which cover the entire length of the base. One pair we liked has a crystal base, and white parch- ment shades with black bands. Another innovation in spring styles for lamps is the colonial thumb-print lamp. It comes in milk china, and the base looks just as if the potter had taken the clay and stuck his thumbs all over it. The shades on the thumb-print lamps are good-looking too. They're made of white chintz with jaunty; little red polka dots. AYOUNG man's fancy may light- ly turn to love these days but a young lady's always to clothes . and what an opportunity for turn- ing this year. The Elizabeth Dillon Shop is featuring suits . . . perfect for campus or travelling. The one we particularly liked smacks very much of the British with a jacket fitted, pleated, and belted and the materIal is a small, two-tone, brown check. Then there's the umbrella back which is pleated at the shoulders and hangs loosely. To go with these there's the most "mouth-watery" selection of blous- es you ever saw . . . (A personal note: the processes are also "suit- able"). SPRING is just around the cor- ner . . . of course, we haven't found the corner yet but when we do it won't be far from the Parrot. That's where we'll look for the lat- est in clothes, news and novel ideas for passing time. A bolt from now on means nothing more nor less than an hour over Parrot coffee, "seegars" and the campus "Who's Who." A tea-date is no longer rec- ognized as socialy correct if it doesn't include this "'spot" in its itinerary. THIS may seem a bit previous but have you considered that the swimming (or riding, or any- thing that means the great out- of-doors) season isn't so far off? Likewise it's the Girl Scout season so be prepared with a opermanent. The Di Mattia Shop tests and 'therefore guarantees) every perm- anent. But meet the issue half- way and allow plenty of time for a good job. Make your appointment early, remember that it isn't a finger-wave or a marcel, and plan accordingly. * * * WE SEEM to be reverting again: remember the watches "when mother was a girl" that were pinned at the shoulder? Well, the modern miss has much the same idea only now it's a compact called "Watchcase." Then there's a little larger one (like Grandpa's pocket ticker) and also the "Snuff-Box," a little round affair with a stone set in the middle. For sport there's the big square to match everything. These all have a new loose-powder gagdet that's verysuccessful and the place is Calkins -Fletcher's, of course. SPECIAL!
