IAE SI THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESAYFEBRUAR~Y 22, I91 WOMEN TOO CARIRY: Union Opera Head Finds Males 'Better Dancers' By GEORGE WALKER Fred Evans, veteran showman and director of the Union's Frog- gy Bottom, is in his element these days-men. Evans, who has spent much of his life directing chorses largely composed of women, is all in fa- for of the all male chorus line. NOT THAT Evans is a woman- hater; far from it. "It's just that you wear your- self out telling women the same thing over and over again," he ex- plained. "Women are always too busy gabbing to hear what you Unique Cornet Recital To Be GivenToday{ Mary Kelly, '49SM, will present a trumpet and cornet recital at 8l p.m. today in the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre.1 Hers will be the first undergrad- uate trumpet recital in the his-r tory of the University. * * ' THE PROGRAM will open with "Trombone Quartet," especially written for the recital by Lesliel Bassett, graduate student in co- position.r SMiss Kelly will be accompan- led in the Quartet by four< triombonists - Paul Wallace, '50 EM, Charleen Symmonds, 's5SM, Glen Yarberry and Bas- sett. The recital will continue with "Concerto for Trumpet" by Haydn; "Three Equale (for four trombones)" by Beethoven; and "Andante et Scherzo" by J. Barat. CONTEMPORARY American music will be featured on the se- ond half of the program. Miss Kelly will play "Scherzo" by B. Tuthill and "Concerto for Trumpet" by Vittorio Gianni. Anita Denniston, Grad., will pro- vide the piano accompaniment. Principal cornetist of the Uni- versity Concert Band for the past two seasons, Miss Kelly has ap- peared as soloist on numerous oc- casions with both the Band and the University Symphony Orches- tra. A native of McCook, Neb., Miss Kelly is a student of Prof. Clif- ford P. Lillya Dean Crawford To Talk To Engineer Club Today Dean Ivan C. Crawford will speak on "The Educational Ob- ,ective of the Engineer at a Sig- ma Rho Tau smoker, 7:30 p.m. today in the Union. Following the address, the en- gineering speech society will di- vide into small groups to show in- terested members how the club functions. say; men are attentive-and that's he secret of learning to dance." But with his appointment to direct the Union Opera, life be- came a little easier for the lean wiry man. lie found the Un- ion brand of chorus "girl" unique, an attentive creature who listens and learns quickly. Evans, who describes himself as the "product of a small town," ,ot his start in show business lancing for and directing amateur hows; soon moved to the profes- sional theatre. IN NEW YORK, he worked with such show wizards as Mike Todd, Florenz Ziegfeld and George M. Cohan, with whom he helped stage "Rosalie" and "Rosie O'Riley." From the big city, he moved to Chicago, where for 11 years he was dance director of Chez Paris, world-famed night club, and the Chicago Theatre. The war found him overseas with the USO. Evans thinks one of the biggest problemstconfronting him as di- rector of Froggy Bottom is that of matching some of the more lanky "female" members of the chorus with equally tall men. .'.* "MAYBE ELEVATOR shoes will lick the prohlem," he said. Evans remarked that the slight- est details can make or break a show. "Sometimes," " lhe added, "corn is preferable to wit-a show can be too smart for the public. Evans thinks progress on Froggy Bottom is very satisfac- tory. "There is a good chance that some of the songs will be- come hit tunes," he said. Mail orders for Froggy Bottom tickets should be sent to "Froggy Bottom, Michigan Union, and should specify performance de- sired, March 23, 24, or 25. Ticket prices are $1.20, $1.80. and $2.40.
