Rehearsals For Union Opera BULLETIN

For the first time this week the jig
saw puzzle of acts and scenes and
dance numbers that comprise the
Union Opera, "Four out of Five," is
being fitted together into full-length
rehearsals.
Director Roy Hoyer began rehears-
ing the choruses and some of the
skits before Christmashvacation. In
subsequent weeks each scene was
tried and tested and each member
of the cast put through his paces.
Now it is the director's task to fit
the dramatic scenes, the comic skits
and the musical number into their
proper sequence.
Rehearsals are held in Director
Hoyer's Studios in Nickel's Arcade.
At 7 p.m. the all-male cast assembles
and the "chorus girls" attire them-
selves in shorts and over-sized ladies'
slippers. Director Hoyer talks over
business matters with Don Tread-
well, '40, president of the Union.
Then the director calls for the re-
hearsal to start. Larry Gubow, '40,
rehearsal chairman, assembles the
opening chorus-the "handsome"
line that serves as a welcoming com-
mittee. Bill Collins, Director Hoy-
er's assistant, goes through the dance
Alumni Will Hear
VarsityGlee Club
Forty members of the varsity Glee
Club will leave Ann Arbor this after-
noon for Owosso where they will pre-
sent a program under the auspices of
the Owosso University of Michigan
Club. The concert will be under the
direction of Prof. David Mattern of
the School of Music.
The club will give a diversified type
of program including a 'Harlemesque'
group of Negro songs and a special
arrangement of the Strauss "Beauti-
ful Blue Danube" for men's chorus
and two pianos.

t

steps with the chorus, yells out in-
structions, leads the singing.
As soon as the handsome male line,
is in the wings, the lovely "female"
line appears-the "pony" chorus
whose members were selected for1
their lovely limbs and their abilityl
to dance-step with precision. -
Jack Meyer, '41, and Sidney Wein-
berg, '42A, are the principles of the a
first skit, a boy-meets-girl affair with
the arboretum in the offing. Meyer,
is the coy coed, Weinberg the persua-
sive boy-friend.
With all the swagger of a Barry-'
more, Casey Carter, '40, comes onto
the stage as the male lead, Lee Grant;
---a freshman with BMOC aspira-
tions. He is accompanied by his
lady-love-played by Jack Reed, '40
Their tete-a-tete is interrupted by
President and Mrs. Roosevelt-Alvin
M. Bentley, '40, and Jack Silcott,
Grad., respectively.
The scene switches to Hollywood-
and the office of Jimmy Roosevelt-
Tom Harmon, '41. Present is Pe-
tunia, a colored maid, into whose
role the Southern accent of Tom;
Adams, '40, fits naturally.
Enter the other woman, the vil-'
lainness of the tale-slinky, sultry
Hedy La Tour, cinema glamor girl.
The role, foreign accent and all, be-
longs to Roy Rector, '40Ed.
Beecier Descendant
To Give Baha'i Talk.
A descendant of the famous Henry
Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher
Stowe will deliver the first in a series
of three lectures on "The World
Superstate" 8 p.m. tomorrow in the
Michigan League.
Mrs. Dorothy Beecher Baker of
Lima, O., will speak on the topic
"Government Looks Ahead." A mem-
ber of the Baha'i Administrative Body,

ligion, Mrs. Baker has devoted much
of her time to promoting the idea of
