Dramatic Star
Calhern Joins
Festival Cast

Turning down a chance to play
opposite Jane Cowl in a New -York
production of "Limbo", Louis Calhern,
distinguished stage and screen artist,
expressed his delight and gratifica-
tion at being invited to take part in
Ann Arbor's dramatic festival this
year.
Calhern, who described Ann Arbor
as "one of the most dramatically-
minded centers I know of," will take
the part of Polixenes in Shakespeare's
"The Winter's Tale", thus complet-
ing a "cast of distinguished calibre
Which will present this second dra-
matic season offering.
Mady Christians, talented Vien-
nese actress, will play the part of
Hermione, the beautiful Sicilian
Queen, while Joseph Holland, one of
the outstanding young Shakespear-
ean actors today, will play Leontes,
her suspicious husband.
The casting of Hiram Sherman as
Autolycus in this seldom-produced
romantic comedy has been declared 1
to~ be especially appropriate_ as his l
varied talents, dramatic, musical and!
terpsichorean, adapt him perfectly
to this comic role.
A supporting cast of over 50 people,
all garbed in the colorful, graceful
costumes of the period add to the pro-
duction's interest. The University
Symphony orchestra, under the direc-
tion of Thor Johnson, has also, been
engaged for the performance.
Season tickets for the dramatic
season are now on sale at the box
office which is located in the Garden
Room of the League. Four other
plays will be included in this series,
the last of which is yet to be an-
nounced.

SHIRLEY LAWSON
Bugles, Drums
Welcome King
To Annual Ball
With the sound of bugles and the
rolling of drums, "The Little King"
was ushered into the Union Ballroom
last night as the featured stunt pre-
sented annually at Military Ball.
Brightly uniformed sentries and
the decorations, consisting of small
white guard houses and gayly colored,
bunting, carried out the theme of
"The Little King" as presented in
newspaper comic sections all over the
country.
Following the entrance of "The
Little King" (John W. Stephens, '41),
prisoners were ushered into his pres-
ence. The prisoners, Shirley Law-
son and Gilbert Stephenson, '41E,
performed before his majesty, and
with the whirling of their batons, won
their freedom.
Outstanding was Miss Lawson's per-
formance with lighted batons in the
darkened ballroom. John Sherrill,
'40, and David Hildinger, and Ste-
phenson also gave exhibitions of
baton whirling.
The drum and bugle corps and the
drill team, under the direction of
Walter J. Scoville, '40, performed be-
f ore his majesty and the 700 guests
present at the ball.
Guests at the dance entered the
ballroom over a Pontoon Bridge mod-
el built to scale. Placques of the
emblems of various ROTC organiza-
tions on campus were hung over the
large window drapes on the north
and east sides of the Ballroom.
Enoch Light and his Light Brigade
played for the dance. Featured vocal-
ists were Peggy Mann and George
Hines.

meals. And it's easy to use:
You simply plug it into the
nearest convenience outlet.
Roasts, bakes, steams
and stews
You'll enjoy using the cooker
instead of your large kitchen
stove. It is more convenient,
does not heat up the room,
and will perform every cook-
ing operation normally
required. It will roast all cuts of
meat; bake bread, cakes, pies,
biscuits; steam vegetables,
fruits, puddings.
The electric cooker is ideal for
a summer cottage, or to carry
with you in the car on picnics.
Once you have discovered its
many advartages, you will
want to use it in your kitchen
the year round!
