the Freshman Project, Sophomore
Cabaret and Junior Girls' Play will

committee jobs and means by which
the productions are put into shape.

Betty Anne Beebe are in charge of
this meeting.
Merit System
The second luncheon discussion
group will be held Thursday. This

cludes the Children's Theatre.

Assembly. Mary Andrew and -Gret-
chen Lehmann will be in charge.
This series of luncheons which will

freshmen women to learn the fields
of the different activities and to help
them to determine which ones they
are especially interested in entering.
The meetings will be informal so
that any questions may be asked.
All freshmen women are urged to
attend as many of the luncheons they
are interested in, according to Miss
Pierce, president.

Watkins' Band

At Union Dance
Outstanding Orchestra Is
To Play Here Often; No
Price Increase
Sammy Watkins and his National
Broadcasting Orchestra will be fea-
tured at the regular Union dance to
be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Jan. 17
in the "Rainbow Room" at the Union.
Watkins and his band in the past
few years have become very well
known and have played in New York,
Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh and in
many night clubs, hotels and summer
resorts throughout the country. They
have been especially popular in the
Middle-West.
Union officials stated last night
that Watkins would be the first out-
side band to ever appear in the
"Rinbow Room," and that the spon-
soring of his orchestra was part of
the new policy of the student organ-
ization of bringing in an outstand-
ing orchestra for the weekly dances
at least once each month.
There will be no increase in price
of tickets for the dance, it was em-
phasized, but officials urged everyone
to make reservations early because
only a limited number of tickets are
to be sold.
It was only a few years ago that
Watkins organized his band, and its
first appearances .were made in De-
troit. Following this engagement, he
played in Cleveland, Dallas, Nash-
ville, and Asbury Park, N. J.
Recent engagements of Watkins
and his band include the Schroeder
Hotel in Milwaukee, Webster Hall in
Detroit, the William Penn Hotel in
Pittsburgh. A few weeks ago Watkins
was first sponsored over a national
hookup.

SAMMY WATKINSl
Orchestra Leader
Gets His Start In
Local Appearance
Fred Waring, noted orchestra
leader, got his start right here in Ann
Arbor and from no less a person
than Jerry Hoag, manager of the
Michigan Theatre.
It was back in 1924 that Waring,
a relatively unkown musician, was
playing here at the J-Hop party. Hoag
happened to be present and liked the
music.
The next day, he relates, he looked
up Waring and asked him to play at
the Majestic Theatre that night.
Waring didn't know. He had never
been on the stage, but because he
wanted to try it, he accepted Hoag's
offer.
On his first appearance, Hoag says,
Waring was very well received by
Majestic patrons. After returning
to the East, Waring rapidly gained
in popularity and soon became one
of thenation's foremost dance band
leaders.
And yet, Hoag says, he always re-
members his first stage engagement
at the Majestic.
