FRM&AY, ANIJARY 23, 1942 TMTR1-C h GAN, ILY . .. f Complications Involve Thespians In 'Princess And The Swineherd' By KAY RUDDY Children's Theatre is coming through today with its third produc- tion of the season, opening at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre at 3:45 p.m., and if someone is not heard remarking with characteristic orig- inality as the curtains open, "The show must go on," it's only because he's afraid several other Arbuthnots got in ahead of him. It's not because the cast wasn't willing, and the reason isn't recalci- trant costume or set workers, either. The bitter look in the eyes of Mary Ellen Wheeler, director of the pre- sentations has come because of a bad luck streak unparalleled since the days when Job was fighting off his celebrated jinx. First, one of the two student scenery chairmen of the Theatre Arts com- mittee sprained her ankle; the sec- ond followed her companion to the Health Service soon after with a ner- vous breakdown or some related mal- ady which scenery chairmen get when their helpers desert them. Four of the children in the cast got fine full-blown cases of measles the next week; they were replaced. One of the principals had to drop out of his part; that was alright, too. But thet final blow came yesterday wtih another case of measles con- tracted by one of the little girls with speaking parts. Mlle. Wheeler des- perately contacted everyone of grade school age who had ever even recited "Horatius at the Bridge" at a church social.

C Lbert atMaN Lierty at Maynard ORRIN TUCKER When Orrin Tucker and his or- chestra come to Ann Arbor Feb. 6 to play for the formal night of J-Hop, dancers will have the opportunity of hearing one of the most distinctive orchestras in the nation today. Tucker's trick of pleasing the pub- lic is the regular featuring of a sub- dued, sweet, melodious music that allows the dancers to converse while the band is playing-known in the musical world as "conversationalj swing." After graduation from high school, 'two On The Aisle For JGP Tucker was determined to fit him- self for the medical profession, de- spite the fact that the saxophone he had purchased on the installment plan had won its way into his heart. He spent a year at Northwestern University and two years at North Central College during which time he had played in various orchestras. When later he found himself com- pelled to forsake school for some sort of a job, Tucker decided that the best way to earn a living was to go into the musical field in earnest. Had Accident It was while he was a student in college that a minor accident oc- curred-an accident that almost ruined his later ambitions as a musi- cian and orchestra director. The near-tragedy came about when Tucker and his friends were taking advantage of a snow-covered- hill. Somehow the sled running in front of Tucker's tipped up and the sharp point of the runner cut a deep gash in his upper lip. For some time it was feared that Tucker would never again be able to play his favorite music instru- ments, the saxophone and clarinet, but through perseveranceand steady practice he overcame the handicap of a stiff lip. Tucker Is Single! Tucker, who is 25 and single, pos- sesses a rich baritone voice, and is one of the handsomest men fronting a band in the country. Offered a chance to lead his own orchestra at the Spanish Gardens during the World's Fair, he became an over- night sensation and has been steadily ascending the ladder of fame ever since. His featured vocalists are Bonnie Baker and the Bailey sisters. * I I, I spring Charmers Int GAY PRINTS i Bright colors and gay prints wdl steal the show.
