Two Actors Lend Professional
Touches To 'Margin For Error'
i
All Deg
rees
By GRACE MILLER
Play Production's "Margin for
Error" didn't leave much margin for
error what with the distinctly pro-
fessional touches which acting and
directing combined to offer.
Actual professional experience has
been had by at least two members
of the cast, Ada McFarland and Hugh
Norton. Miss McFarland entered
Michigan this year from the Good-
man Theatre in Chicago, where she
took her first two years of work in
dramatics. t
"It's so different here from any-
thing I have ever known", Miss Mc-
Farland smiled, surprise still echoing
in her voice from last September's
initiation to the' campus. "The girls
all wear sweaters and skirts, flat
heels and little-girl outfits. Before
I came here my type was turbans and
earrings. She has compromised, she
added, to the extent of wearing
sweaters and skirts, but definitely
not flat heels.
Not The Sweater Type!
Seeing Miss McFarland in her
make-up for "Margin for Error", in
which she plays the wife of the Ger-
man consul stationed in Washington,
the sweater and skirt theme does look
a little remote. She wears her black
hair up off her face, with make-up
accentuating shadows of eyes and
cheek bones.
At Michigan she is studying speech
and radio work. However, she in-
tends to go into dramatic, work after
completing her studies here. She
has had considerable experience in
summer theatre and radio work, as
well as her courses at the Goodiman
Theatre. Her training is not limited
to dramatics, however, for she has
studied at the Chicago Conservatory
of Music.
M MAJESTIC
AM& s
She plans to go from here to the
Lakewood Theatre in Maine, and then
to New York..
Norton, who played Baron Max
von Alvenstor, friend and assistant
to the consul, has also had a broad
background in the histrionic arts.
He has appeared with many nation-
ally acclaimed actors, among them
Leslie Howard, Fred Stone and Frank
Craven; altogether his experience on
Broadway, on the road and in sum-
mer stock has amounted to about
seven years' work.
Played Role Of Sensitive Baron
Norton's portrayal of the sensitive
harassed baron was a keen one. He
himself says that the role lacked the
depth which can be found in some
dcles. This depth, he added, can be
recognized if there is continuity of
thought and emotion felt by the actor
himself while he is on the stage.
"Margin for Error", of course, deals
not in depth, but in caricature of
character.
When questioned about his ac-
cent, he admitted that some of it was
put on f'o portray the Oxford-edu-
cated German. But part of it is just
;he way of speaking that every actor
who has worked expensively with the
-lassic productions will use. About
60 per cent of Norton's work has
been with the traditional classics of
the theatre, both modern and his-
toric.
Among these are ten of Shakes-
peare's works, all of Goldsmith's,
with several seventeenth century
dramas, and most of the modern
classics, such as Sheridan's plays.
He has appeared ' in 12 premieres,
he added.
Norton entered Michigan last Feb-
ruary to study literature and speech,
and will go from here into new work
along the line of directing plays in
the East.
I
Of Experience
Can Be Used
Donations From Dormitories
And Sororities To Rent Sewing,
Machines For Project In WAB
Pins and needles, scissors and sew-
ing machines, irons and pinkers will
be put into operation today when the
first meeting of thestudent auxiliary
Red Cross unit takes place from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Women's Ath-
letic Building.
Novice seamstresses as well as ex-
perienced needle-threaders will drop
in at the WAB where all women stu-
dents will be welcome. The project
is to be continued every Saturday'
under supervision from the Wash-
tenaw County chapter. Only knit-
ting and sewing will be included in
the work program.
No Skill Required
The board has put special empha-
sis on the fact that no skill is re-
quired of participants; there will be
materials for persons of all degrees
of experience. Those who cannot
sew at all will be able to press, cut
patterns, or pink seams.
A recording concert of classical se-
lections will be held whenever re-
quests are made, while the Saturday
afternoon Opera program will be
heard over the radio.
Three sewing machines will be in
operation; money for the rent of
these will be donated each week by
sororities anld dormitories. The first
donation was made by Alpha Epsilon
Phi. All houses interested in fur-
thering the plans in this way are
requested to call Janet Lewin, '42,
chairman of the Red Cross project.
Student Advisers Are Needed
Women who have had experience
in sewing and knitting and who wish
to be student advisers may do so
through contacting Miss Lewin.
"The chapter is not formed merely
for those who have a whole after-
noon or morning to spend", said Miss
Marie Hartwig, faculty adviser to
the WAA. Every fifteen minutes
given to the cause will help in the
completion of several garments.
To Give Musical Story
"Jungle Tragedy", an original mu-
sical story, will be the feature of
the program to be given by the Wes-
leyan Guild Orchestra, under the
direction of Horace Dewey, following
the regular meeting at the Methodist
Church Sundaynnight. Victor Her -
bert melodies and Chinese melodies
transposed by Dewey will complete
the program.

Chan Pinney To Sing
Union Opera Songs
For 7-11 Club Guests
Previewing Mimes coming produc-
tion, "Take A Number", for the bene-
fit of 7-11 Club guests today will be
Chandler Pinney, '41E, male lead in
the Union Opera who will sing two
numbers from the play.
Pinney will make his appearance
about 11 p.m. in the Kalamazoo
room of the League and will be ac-
companied in his songs y Gordon
Hardy, '41SM, composer of several
songs for the Opera including the
love song to be presented, "A Dream
and I Went Walking." Hardy's co-
composer for the number was Chuck
Bowen, '41.
The secondselection will be a
waltz from the Arboretum scene,
"Your Page In My Memories Is Blue",
composed by Ken Summerfelt, Grad.
Militarism has always been news
in the fashion world, and is getting
to be more and more so as time flies
by.
Take, for instance, the young lady
pictured here with her cup of tea.
Her gathered skirt puts in the fem-
inine note, but the row of natty but-
tons add the spic-and-span neatness
of a uniform, which is even more em-
phasized by the trim collar.
Some choose to go even farther,
and add gold braid to their sleeves
and on deep, pointed collars. Em-
olems of different sorts go well on
pockets. Suit jackets are cut even
more square, and emphasized by rows
of buttons.
Rather than gold, silver is often
enough used. This is especially done
on dark blue. Entirely apart from
metal, but still dark blue was a dress
with a wide white belt, and strap
ooping over the shoulder.

Representatives to the Assembly
mass meeting, which was held from
4 p.m. to 5 p.m. yesterday in the
Grand Rapids Room of the League,
elected a permanent treasurer and
ratified their new constitution.
Anne Crowley, '41, who has been
busy acting in the capacity of pro-
tem treasurer since the beginning
of the semester, was moved into the
position of permanent treasurer by
a unanimous vote of the representa-
tives. Her appointment will become
official when the Assembly Board
meets next Wednesday.
Voting on the new constitution took
place immediately after a brief dis-
cussion, and Patricia Walpole, '41,
president of Assembly, reported that
the representatives cast a unani-
mous ballot for its acceptance. The
new constitution will be put into ef-
fect at once, Miss Walpole added.
After the main business of the
program had been finished, Miss Wal-
pole introduced the officers of the
Assembly Board. Betty Lyman, '41,
is vice-president, and Betty Hall, '41,
is secretary.
A short skit, written and produced
by ¢Lorraine Judson, '42, was pre-
sented, with Frances Nevin, '41, gen-
eral chairman of the informal dance
tobe given next Friday, and Miss
Judson taking part. It was written
around the theme of the dance, "X-
mas X-press", with boy meeting girl
at the station just in time to catch
the train.
