By LOIS SHAPERO
She's a tiny bundle of rhythm, a
seventeen year old internationalist,
this Gloria Hart, who was launched
on her career just three weeks ago
with Raymond Scott and his orches-
tra, and is coming to the Michigan > '
-1
Theatre with*the band Friday and
Saturday and to sing for the J-Hop-
pers, Feb. 14.
Gloria was born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina and has attended schdols
in England and France. She came to
America at the age of fourteen with
her mother, and they settled in Chi-
cago. She had long been a fan of
Scott, had collected many of his rec-
ords, and when he came out to Chi-
cago on an extended road tour, she
summoned up all her courage and
wrote him for an audition.
Made Home Recording
When asked to send in a record
of her singing, she made a record
with his orchestra in the back-ground
on her home recordiograph. - Scott
had been looking for a girl vocalist
and on this particular afternoon he
had listened to sixty records sent in
by hopeful singers. All except ten were
eliminated and these were given per-
sonal auditions. Then the number was
cut to three, and finally Gloria was
selected.
She has a husky lovely voice which
came to her naturally and in the show
she uses it to good advantage in
four numbers, for each of which Lily
Dache has designed hats for her to
wear.
Music Inspired Hats
The first number is "Egyptian Barn
Dance," a song written by Raymond
Scott which inspired a black felt
hat with a broad band of red kid
around the brim. Hanging from this
band are a series of 'tiny Egyptian
figures fashioned of kid in charac-
teristic poses. With the hat Gloria
wears black suede gloves and bag
trimmed with the same kid band and
figures.
The second hat is featured "In
an Eighteenth "Century Drawing
Room," and is a little model of light
blue feathers with a pink face veil,
tiny musical notes forming the lace-
like edge. "War Dance for Wooden
Indians," inspirdd a tight fitting
navy blue suede skull cap fashioned
like a baseball cap, with a visor

Patricia Walpole, '41, president of

tioned and who are planning to be
interviewed, to come to their inter-
views with their ideas well in mind.
She emphasized the fact that this
was the applicants only opportunity
to sell her plans to the interviewing;
board, and that it is on this basis that
appointments will be made.
Even though not petitioning for
general chairmanship, each applicant
should have formulated a theme for
the dance and made plans for the or-
ganization and running of the parti-
cular committee in which she is in-
terested, Miss Walpole advised.
Interviewing will be conducted by
a group of representatives from the
Assembly Board. These include the
four officers of Assembly and the
presidents of each of the four groups
of the organization; the League
houses, the dormitories, Ann Arbor
Independents and Beta Kappa Rho.
The interviewers are, then, Miss Wal-
pole, Elizabeth Lyman, '41, Betty
Hall, '41, and Anne Crowley, '41,
Barbara Ann Friedberg, '43, Frances
Nevin, '41, Jean Krise, '42, and Sara
Jane Hauke, '42.
Central committee positions which
are open for competition are gen-
eral chairman (music), assistant
general chairman (merits), co-heads
of publicity, tickets and decorations,
finance, and chairman in charge of
patrons and programs. Eligibility
cards should be brought to the in-
terview.

Annabel Van Winkle, '41, president
of Panhellenic, announced yesterday.
The luncheon, which is an annual
affair honoring the freshman from
each sorority house on campus who
received the best grades in her pledge
class the previous semester, will be
held the early part of the new se-
mester.
Petitioning is open to sophomore
and junior delegates of Panhellenic
and interviewingnwill be held from
3 p.m. to 5 p.m. next Tuesday.
B uitts Scenery The Faculty Women's Club will
sponsor a concert program at 3 p.m.
Thtoday in the Lydia Mendelssohn The-
F or Theatre atre, with the Michigan Dames in-
vited as special guests of the club.
Behind the scenes, or more literally Prof. Thor Johnson, of the School

and his crew of scenists can be found Symphony Orchestra in a musical
almost any day at any hour working program. Faculty women are re-
beneath the stage of the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre on flats for coming
attractions.
Mr. Mellencamp began this year to
design and make the scenery for the
Children's Theatre productions when
it became evident that the minor ac-
cidents pf past years were becoming
too disconcerting for the youthful
players of the productions. In one
instance a falling tree, fortunately a
fabricated one, scored a direct hit
on the heroine's head, while use of
a ping pong table for a bed by a
scenery crew with no time to make a
real bed, resulted in a fold up act for
its occupant.
The University Hospital School
of Nursing Alumnae Association
will meet at 8 p.m., tomorrow in
Couzen's Hall. Dr. WV. P. Lemnon
will address the group on the sub-
ject. "Human Moods in Litera-
ture."

New Semester Heads
Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity has an-
nounced its newly elected officers for
the coming semester: Louis Toth,
'41E, president; John Wilkie, '42E,
vice-president; Bob Hoffman, '43, re-
cording secretary; Bill Chase, '41,
house manager; Ken Nelson, '42E,
assistant house manager; Alex Wil-
kie, '42E, corresponding secretary;
Orville Roeglin, '42, marshall; and
Charles Daniels, '42E, custodian.
Delta Tau Delta announces its
election of a new treasurer, John
Dighton, '42.
During this year's fall season in
the Children's Theatre, sets have been
constructed under Mr. Mellencamp's
guidance for the "Princess and the
Pea" and "Children, 1777." At pres-
ent the stage requirements for "Han-
sel and Gretel," dance pantomime to
begin with its four performance run
Friday, have called for the construe-
tion of a small hut, a gingerbread
house, a stove, and a cage. Trees and
bushes from past sets will be used in
the outdoor scenes.
Mr. Mellencamp works chiefly with
strip lumber, muslin, water paints,
and feminine carpenters whom, he
contends, are often better at their
work than boys, it all depending upon
interest and the willingness to try to
do the work. Broad techniques and
bright colors are important in scen-
ery construction, Mr. Mellencamp
says, inasmuch as too detailed workt
cannot be seen by the audience.
In addition all scenery for the
Lydia Mendelssohn stage must be con-
structed with an eye to fitting it
through a nine-foot square hole in
the floor of the stage. Thus large
pieces must be made either to fold or
to come apart. Scenery on the stage
is kept erect by means of props and
braces; during changes it is pushed
off stage but snot removed from the
wings.
IJGP Meeting Announced
