Opera Tryouts Compare Merits Of Masculine, Feminine Figures By RICHARD HARMEL and KARL KESSLER Under the vicious onslaught ofl the modern career-seeking women have fallen most of the traditions once sacred to the Michigan male. Even the front steps of the Union recently resounded to the determined tread of world-hardened coeds. Not satisfied with this and other victories, the "weaker" sex is now voicing de- termination to "crash" that inner sanctum sanctorumn of the harassed male: the Union Opera. The controversy over the Union Opera has been raging for some days now, but little has been said about the ability of the Michigan coed to add a vital feature.

Lewis, 2-2610. 109 the Union Opera tryouts in the Union last night to ask: 1 THE QUESTION: Do you believe that the average coed has better proportioned figure for theatrical work than the average male student? THE ANSWERS : JamesANielsen,'40: "Pue to the fact that the average male student has outgrown short pants, you can't really judge the masculine lower limbs. Due to the fact that skirts are shorter this year, we have had an excellent opportunity to view some of the monstrosities which sup- port our so-called campus beauties. The evidence weighs heavily against the coeds." Wiliam Sherman, Grad.: "The- relative merits of men and women's figures depends largely upon the point of view, but I do believe that women should be allowed to take cer- tain roles in the Union Opera They, can portray some characters much better than could the average male student. Imagine what would hap- pen if a pant-bred husky should try to dance in a skirt." Gordon Laing, '40: "I don't be- lieve there is much room for doubt on the question of the relative merits of male and coed figures in theatri- cal work of this kind. The male bur- lesquing a feminine figure is far funnier than a coed would be in the; same role. The whole effect is much more hilarious-and the hairier the better." Neal Seegert, '41: ",Women are much better proportioned than men -I might also add that their faces on the whole are more attractive. However, we must realize that femi-t nine pulchritude may not be the aim of this particular production. Inj fact, I do not believe they should be allowed to take part-they would1 merely destroy the effect. Both our hairy chested and the more aenemic varieties of males will certainly add# considerable humor." Tilden Batchelder, '42: "It's all a matter of relativity and what you'ret after, but I believe girls would got over much better in a theatrical pro- duction. In spite of the now famousc "four out of five" quotation, thereI are still enough girls here to catchj and hold the eye.-There are some; here who can make even a football player squirm." Frank Washburn, '43: "The aver-E age male wins hands down. I have seen more good-looking fellows with below-standard dates here than on any other campus.-I saw a girl last night who had better built legs than Herc Renda. SPECIAL GROUPS!! Reserve Tables No for PANHELLENIC DINNER The Haunted Tavern 417 E. Huron Phone 7781 To create a realistic setting for a realistic play-that's the problem of scenery for Play Production's forth- coming play, " . . . one third of a nation . . . ", according to Robert Mellencamp, the organization's scen- ery director. As the play pictures life in a tene- ment, a realistic tenement will con- stitute the only set, Mellencamp ex- plained. The structure will be three stories high and will represent a cross-section of a typical tenement, he added. Four rooms, three stairway land- ings and three hallways will be shown, Mellencamp said. Action can and often does take place at any or all of these places at any time, he added, That, of course, constitutes the chief problem in the setting of the play. Great care will be taken in prepar- ing the scenery, because, in this case, the scenery is the play. Furniture, walls and general bakground will be typical of a tenement: drab, cheap, dirty, old. Wals will be purposely dirtied and "any old" furniture will be used.

Prof. Crane To Talk At Franklin Institute Prof. Verner V " rane of the his- tory department will deliver the fourth in a series of lectures on Ben-, jamin Franklin, sponsored by the Franklin Institute tomorrow in Phila- delphia. His subject, "Franklin's Political Journalism in England," will include a discussion of 18th century journal- ism, Franklin's distinctive talents as a political journalist, his chief poli- tical ideas, and the influence of his journalism in America as well as Eng- land. Carl Van Doren, author of the Pulitzer prize-winning biography on Franklin, inaugurated the current group of the "Meet Dr. Franklin" con- ferences. The American Philosophi- cal Society and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania are cooperating with the Franklin Institute in presenting these lectures. Professor Crane is basing his ad- dress upon a lengthy study of Frank- fin's opinions as expressed in various English periodicals of the time. This study will culminate in the forth- coming publication of an edition which will feature 65 hitherto un- edited Franklin essays. tion . . .

Jussi Bjoerling Started Career I" Music Hall Some 18 years ago Swedish music halls probably billed Jussi, Goesta, Olle and Papa David-the Bjoerling family quartet-in the spot just be- low the acrobats, unaware that the tenor of the four was destined to # become, at 27, the youngest star of the Metropolitan Opera Company] with a repertoire of 54 roles. That eight-year-old tenor, Jussi Bjoerling, will appear here to give the fifth concert of the present Chor- al Union Series at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. Tickets are still avail- able at.the School of Music Office, Dr. Charles A. Sink, president of the University Musical Society, revealed yesterday. It was the youngest member of that family quartet that Juss made his first appearance in this country sing- ing religious and folk music on the concert stages. In °1923 after the, tour, the group returned to Sweden to disband while the three brothers studied for individual careers. Jussi's rise was rapid and inevit- able from that time. He studied in the Conservatory at Stockholm, in the Royal Opera School, and seven years later, made hi's debut in "Don Giovanni" at the Royal Opera. He made his first American radio debut in November 1937, gave his first recital a month later, and the follow- ing November was signed by the Metropolitan.
