FRIDAY, JAN. -8, 1937 0 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE The Little Princess, Children's Theatre Production, W ill Open Today Play Revolves AboutFortunes Of Sara Crewe Betty Spooner To Portray English Child; Matinee To Be At 3:30 P.M. "The Little Princess," by Frances Hodgson Burnett will open at 3:30 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre as the second in the series of three plays presented each year by the Children's Theatre. The play revolves around the fa- miliar story of Sara Crewe's life at Miss Minchin's school, and the lead- ing roles will be taken by Betty Spooner, '39, as the little English girl; Phyllis Blauman, '37, as Miss Min- chin; Ruth Menefee '39, as Ermen- garde; Marnie Coe, '38, as Beckie; Ralph Bell, '37, as Mr. Carrisford and Marjorie Harrell, '37Ed., as Mrs. Car- michael. The cast includes other members of Play Production as well as a num- ber of Ann Arbor children. The Chil- dren's Theatre was originally found- ed as a community project, supported by the University and as a result the children take an active part in its presentations. Leading roles are generally given to adult performers as it was the in- tention of the founders to give the children the e'xperience of seeing a finished production. "The Little Princess" was selected as suitable for the Children's The- atre because it was thought to hold interest for both adults and children. Scenery and costumes have been made bright and colorful to appeal to the youthful element in the audience. 150 children from the Anii Arbor schools will be given passes to attend one of the three performances of this play. This has been made possible through the fund collected for the purpose of sending underprivileged children to these plays. Two other performances will be given at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. tomorrow for which individual tickets are now on sale at the box office. The first of the Children's Theatre plays, "Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates" was produced in December and the last one will appear next month. Last year the Theatre presented, under the direction of Valentine B. Windt, "Alladdin and His Wonder- ful Lamp," "Robinhood, or The Queen's Page" and "Alice in Wonder- land." The plays this year are under the direction of Sarah Pierce, who has been seen in a number of roles for Play Production and the Reper- tory Players including that of Queen Elizabeth in "Mary of Scotland"; the White Queen in "Alice in Wonder- land," and The Old Maid. College Seals On Stained Glass Add To Beauty Of Law Library i By JANE ELLEN BIERLY One of the most unusual features of the University campus is the wealth of architectural details which add so greatly to the beauty of many of the buildings, and few buildings are more enhanced by such details than those of the Law Quadrangle. As far as design is concerned, the buildings of the quadrangle may be, classified as either Collegiate Gothic or American Composite. In buildings such as these, the stained-glass win- dow is used as a medium both for utility and for beauty. The design of the windows in the Library of the Quadrangle based on the seals of colleges in all parts of the world with law departments, chosen inorder of their age, geographical location, size, prominence, and the beauty of the seal itself. Universities Represented Among the 172 seals found in the windows are represented those of all the large American colleges and uni- versities, plus those. of noted foreign Three Students' Marriage Plans Are Announced More nuptial plans, made during the holiday season, have been an- no unced. Mr. and Mrs. Fred McOmber of Ann Arbor announced the approach- ing marriage of their daughter, Mar- garet McOmber, to Walworth R. Slenger of Oak Park, 111. Miss McOmber chose Feb. 12 as the date for her marriage. It will take place at 4 p.m. in the afternoon at the home of her parents. Dr. Charles Brashares is to officiate. Mr. Slenger is affiliated with Phi Chi. The engagement of Blair Boyle. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Boyle of St. Louis, Mo. and Samuel West Mitchell, was announced Jan. 3 at a cocktail party at the home of Miss Boyle's parents. Mr. Mitchell is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Mitchell of St. Louis. He is a grad- uate of the University. The wedding will take place early in the spring. Mrs. John Noye Garrison of Cher- ryvale, Kan.,'announces tkhe engage- ment of her ,daughter, Claire Irene McLure of Kansas City, Mo. to Rob- ert S. Hogueland, '37L, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H: Hogueland of Kansas City, Mo. Miss Claire is in training at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City. Mr. Hogueland is affiliated with Phi Delta Phi. schools, such as the colleges of Ox- ford and Cambridge, University of Adelaide (Australia), University of Madrid, University of Nanking, the Academy of Utrecht and the Univer- sity of Zruich. In choosing the various seals, the designers of the Library wrote to many colleges and universities for information concerning the arnis cr1 seal of each. Some designs were un- suitable for decoration, and others could not be furnished. As a rule, European colleges responded with either accurately colored prints or hand drawings of their seals, and American schools with posters or im- pressions of their seals together with scraps of ribbon to show the accurate colors of their insignia. Color Important Factor Originally, the architects planned to adhere to four types of design for the seals. The eventual list of types contained. somewhere between 20 and 301 Color harmony was among the important factors determining the position of each coat of arms. When the lack of harmony was extremely apparent, "spotting" of color was given preference to tradition and less well-known schools had their seals placed in the Library. In most cases, however, rearrangement of the groups permitted the harmonizing of both color and subject without substitut- ing less interesting ones. Windows Complementary Window cartoons in the windows of the two corridors leading from the Legal Research Building to Hutchins Hall relieve the generally serious tone of the decorations. These show vari- ous common crimes in a humorous vein. Several picture scenes familiar to collegians, one, entitled "May- hem," representing Black Friday. So, even the windows of the build- ings have been used to complement the larger features of the Law Quad- rangle, to harmonize with it in de- sign and purpose, and to make it a beautiful and interesting as well as utilitarian place in which may be developed the plan of William W.

The class meets once a week dur- ing the entire semester and subjects and projects suitable for camp work are presented. Talks are given by authorities on subjects pertaining to the work. Dr. Bell urged early registration for the course as the size of the class is limited and it was impossible to include all those who wished to take the course last year. are Robert J.

Histrionic Abilities Of Monkey AndRat WilllBeDisplayed At least two members of the castI of "The Little Princess" will make their stage debuts at the opening of the play today. The youngest member is a baby monkey, borrowed from the pedri- atics department of the University Hospital. According to reports from the properties committee, this latest acquisition is somewhat averse to starting a dramatic career. At least his conduct on the way from the hospital was not in the least co- operative, and as a result, he wears a muzzle and languishes in a hastily built pen, awaiting his cue. It is hoped he will catch "the play must go on" spirit after a night spent in the company of dramatic artists. A second member of the animal kingdom, Melchie, a grey rat trained by Prof. N. R. Maier will also take the lime-light. He is very tame but presents a problem by refusing to "scuttle" for the stage manager FOR THE COLLEGE MISS SMART SILK and STRAW HATS that will "take you places" $3.00and Up HELEN POLHEEMUS 613 East Williams 4 DOORS OFF STATE STREET Tea Is To Follow Badminton Match A group of women badminton play- ers will meet a team from the Univer- 3ity High School Monday at 4:15 p.m.. after which they will entertain their opponents at tea.
