Now0--
Professional
Actor Appears
In Play Cast
Play Production's third offering of
the season, "Margin For Error" will
play its closing performance at 8:30
p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
Prof. Valentine D. Windt, director;
of the show, did not reveal until yes-
terday, however, that one of the
members of the cast is not only a stu-
dent at the University, but also a!
professional actor with seven yearsj
stage experience behind him.
Hugh Z. Norton, Grad., who plays
the role of the baron in "Margin For
Error," revealed in an interview be-
fore curtain time last night that he
came to Michigan on the advice of
other actors to broaden his dramatic
background by concentrating on the
history of drama and relavent litera-
ture.
Starting in a stock company in
Alanby, Norton seven years ago pro-
gressed to Broadway by acting parts
from Shakespeare's Hamlet to comedy
roles. One of his most interesting
experiences was his connection with
Leslie Howard's "Hamlet" in New
York. During the play's run he played
an aggregate of seven roles. Howard,
he recalls, was particularly fascinat-
ing to watch in action, since the
famous stage and screen star, as es-
tablished as he was in the realm of
drama, was unsure of himself and
his capacities while on the stage. Dur-
ing a great emotional scene in the
play Howard fainted 'dead away,'
Norton revealed, and the curtain had
to be held 'half an hour until the
great actor recovered.
Norton has also been associated
with Fred Stone and other well known
personalities, and has acted as dram-
atic director of station WQXR in
New York. He will return to the legi-
timate' theatre after finishing his
courses here.

called meeting of the ASU following
the publication in Detroit papers of
the expected disciplinary action and
the announcement that Miss Camp-
bell's scholarship would not be re-
newed, she and Norris reviewed the
investigation of the ASU leading to
the Committee's action.
Miss Campbell linked the dismissal
cases last spring with the probation
of the ASU as being "all part of an
attempt to stifle any voice which is
expressive and speaks for peace."
During the discussion following the
meeting Mr. Harvey Poulson, region-
al executive secretary of the ASU in-
dicated his belief that ASU members
were "in a large part to blame in that
many of our members have been in-
capable of working with others who
did not entirely agree with the ASU
program."
In the future, he added. the ASU
must be ready to submerge its iden-
tity as an organization if necessary
to work towards the ends of its plat-
form.

From the West Quad Spectator:
"An informal athletic club has been
organized in Chicago House. Mem-
bers have invented several ingenious
methods of physical culture. The
devices run from doorknobs to desks.
Their motto is: "We breed a rare
brand of brute." Stairways and rail-
ings play an important part in the
development of dexterity and
strength." How much does it cost to
join, boys?

"Boogie Woogie is a direct steal
from West Africa," Prof. Melville
Herskovits, chairman of the North-
western anthropology department
declared in an interview on the or-
igins of modern swing music.
"Of course the jungle 'cats' have
no pianos," he added, "but the use
of melodic instruments such as the
piano and bull fiddle as percussion
is a direct imitation of African style."
Professor Herskovits explained that
rhythm, the principal contribution
of Africa to swing, is not the only
aspect of popular music that can be
traced to the Congo. Modern rug-
cutters derive most of their steps
from dusky jittrebugs who kicked
up dust in their relatives' funeral
processions, he said.
The use of a band background for
a Wving trumpet of tenor sax grew
fromethe African chorus which sang
a melody while a soloist swung out
on complicated improvisions.
"The classic example of African
style is displayed in "The Big Noise
from Winnetka," he asserted, "which
is played by a Negro from New Or-
leans where jazz originated and where
the most direct descendants of Af-
ricans are found."
Observing that swing-men of the
Cab Calloway school are closest to
the basic type, Professor Herskovits
cited the Shouting Baptists of Trini-
dad as giving best example of vocal
improvision and rhythm.
"Spirituals as sung by Marian An-
derson retain little of the original
swing," he stated, "but those in
Southern Negro churches are faster,
jazzier and the true foundation of
modern swing music."
He noted that details in style dif-
fer from tribe to tribe just as they
do among the swing bands. "One can
speak of African music only gener-
ally," he said, "because of the ex-
treme diversification.
The Library of Congress is going
to make permanent recordings of his
collection of music from Africa, South
America and the West Indies, he said.
