Spanish Club Play To Expose
Power Of Gossip Wednesday

Social Arbiter .. -

-- -

Gossip will be the keynote of Pueb-
la de las Mujeres, annual Spanish
play to be presented by La Sociedad
Hispanica at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
The plot is built around the pow-
er of gossip as employed by the vil-
lage spinster to force a young law-
yer and a local senorita of a typical
Andalusian town in Spain to fall in
love against their will. Play interest
comes principally from the futile at-
tempt of the victims to struggle
against the ever-increasing web of
tattle spun by a middle-aged veteran
at the game.
. Before the final curtain falls, the
clever dialogue of the play provides
many rib-tickling situations and the
authentic Spanish costuimes lend col-
or to the most widely acclaimed com-
edy written by the Quinteros broth-
ers.
June Larson, '41, in the role of
Concha Puerto, the village gossip,
plays the lead in the play. Norma
Bennett, '41, as Juanita, the lovely
senorita; and Claude Hulet, '42, as

I

Adolfo, the lawyer, provide the love
interest.
Principal supporting roles go to
David Gibson. '41, who plays the
part of the kindly priest of the town;
Marjorie Teller, '43, in the role of'
Juanita's straight-edge aunt; Ray-
mond Chambers, '41, who acts in the
capacity of the wise old village doc-
tor; and Frances Besancon, '42, the
deaf but observant sister of the priest.
Minor roles are taken by Lawrence (
Aronsson, '43, Judith Perkins, '42,
Carmelita Rosasco, '42, Antonietta
Ferretti, '42A. Ernest McCarus, '44 1
and Robert Mantho, '43.
Production staff for the play is
as follows: general chairman and
properties, Martha Drew, '41; Cos-
tumes, Concha Herrarte, sets and
stage. Jack Bender, '41, and Agnitu
Schwartz, Ed; box-office chairman,
Helen Lapitsky, '41; make-up, Harold
Barnes, Grad., and bookholder, Earl

Those students who think the Uni-
versity Concert Band is a pretty fine
organization will be interested to,
know that it may be heard over the
air at 6 p.m. (WCAR) every Sunday.
Today's program, under the direc-
tion of Prof. William D. Revelli, will
feature among its selections, several
on the required list for the Mich-
igan School Band and Orchestra Fes-
tival in May.
Other broadcasts today include the
program of "Historic Hymns" at
9 a.m. over WJR, and Prof. Slosson's
weekly discussion of important events
in world history which have occurred
during the past week. Prof. Slosson
presents his talks extemporaneously,
but copies, recorded by a secretary,
may be procured upon written re-
quest to Morris Hall. The broadcast
will be heard at 12:30 p.m. over1
WJR. At 12:45 p.m. over the samej
station, " Out of Court," the legalj
dramatization, will consider thisI
week the problem of building laws
and restrictions.
* * *
A new broadcast which has already
attracted a great deal of attention is
the "Why Save Democracy?" stories.
Speakers on this program so far have
been Governor Murray D. Van Wag-
oner and Karl Detzer, Roving Editor
for the Reader's Digest. The pro-
gram may be heard at 10:45 p.m.
every Friday. The purpose of these
broadcasts is to present a contrast-I
ing picture of the American way of
life with that in the Dictatorship
countries. The speaker next Fri-I
day will be Lee A. White, Detroit
News Director of Public Relations.
His topic will be "Freedom of
Speech."

"The Children's Theatre" is an-
other of the new broadcasts that is
becoming a favorite. It is devoted
to the dramatizations of fairy tales'
-and the title is misleading. The
most blase and sophisticated of the
hard-to-please radio crowd find
themselves listening in at 9:45 a.m.
every Saturday (WCAR), and en-
joying the stories more than they did
when they were six. Another pro-
gram worthy of your notice is pre-
sented by the students in Dr. Eich's
- class. Excerpts from Vachel Lind-
say's poetry will be featured at 1:45
Thursday (WCAR) on the program
devoted to American Literary Mas-
terpieces.
