Old Tradition Revived as
Drama Festival Returns

all passed in review before ca-
pacity audiences.
But Ann Arbor became more
than an echo of past and current
greats. In its heyday, the Festival
premiered Jean Girardoux's "No
War in Troy," the best foreign
play of 1939. "The Brontes" and
"Boyd's Shop" also had their in-
itial showing at the University.
* *-*
ANN ARBOR became a stepping
stone to Broadway and a research
center and contributing factor to
the Theatre.
In the words of Burns Mantle,
New York drama critic, "The
Drama Festival is the most im-
portant thing that has happened
to the American Theatre since
the rebirth of the great resi-
dence companies of the middle
nineties."
The trend was toward giving lo-
calities a share in the American
drama.

BROCHURES of past seasons
read like a page out of Who's
Who.
The 1940 season billed Ruth
Chatterton, Mady Christians,
Madge Evans, Louis Calhern,
John Emory and Diana Barry-
more.
In 1941, Ruth Gordon, Conrad
Nagel, Sylvia Sidney, Luther Ad-
ler, Ilka Chase and Ruth Matte-
son left Broadway to do a stint in.
Ann Arbor.
STUDENTS at the University,
like Martha Scott, got their first
taste of professional greasepaint
playing fill-in bit parts.
Starting May 5 once again,
North Ingalls will shine as bright-
ly as Broadway when "Ah Wil-
derness" opens -the revived Drama
Festival.

Yugoslavia should get Marshall
Plan economic aid, Prof. Preston
W. Slosson, of the history depart-
ment, said yesterday.
But the professor warned
against sending military aid to
Marshall Tito, who "is still a Com-
munist and might return to the
party line at any time."
* * *
PROF. SLOSSON called Tito's
break with Russia late last year
an example of the "greatest weak-
ness of Russian Communism."
When the Russians begin sacri-
ficing the interests of interna-
tional Communism for the benefit
of the Soviet Union, they runup
against strong nationalism in sat-
ellite countries, he said.
"Tito is still a Communist,
but wants a brand of grass roots
Communism which is not sub-
jected to Russia," Prof. Slosson
continued.
Tito is depending on the na-
tionalist feelings of his people for
support against the efforts of the
Russians to bring him to heel,
Prof. Slosson explained. "So far,
it has worked."
* * *
PROF. SLOSSON said that Po-
land and Czechoslovakia may be
the next Communist nations to
rebel against Soviet authority.
Chinese Communists, on the
other hand, have shown no tend-
ency to break with Russia as yet,
he observed.

The Student Legislature has $2.-

Profits from last fall's Home-

Jazz Concert all added large
nuggets to the gold heap, ac-
cording to Rothschild.
"However, careful budgeting of
expenses by Legislature members
resulted in the savings," Roths-

RISING STAR-Lisa Kirk, silvery-toned songstress and star of

A weeks ago, the Henry Morgan
Show wasmthebrunt of an attack
on radio comedy in this column.
But today, there's a song in my
heart and it's being sung by that
sensational new songstress who
appears on Mr. Morgan's show,
Lisa Kirk.
Miss Kirk's performance in Cole
Porter's "Kiss Me Kate" more
than explains her popularity and
it will long be remembered as a
highlight of the 1948-49 Broad-
way season.
* * *
WHEN NBC decided to revive
Mr. Morgan and company, Miss
Kirk fou'nd herself in the spot of
featured vocalist.
A tall brunette (five feet, sev-
en inches), Miss Kirk started
her radio warbling over a Pitts-
burgh, Pa. station when she was
15. After high school gradua-
tion, she headed for New York,
the "promise land" of all young
hopefuls, where she immediate-
ly found a job with the Folies
Bergeres.
Then, in 1947, she scored a suc-
cess in the Rodgers-Hammerstein
production of "Allegro". And now
it's "Kiss Me Kate" and the Henry
Morgan show. Beautiful to be-
gin with, Miss Kirk is obviously a
match for any musical number.
A SECOND bright star to re-
cently appear on radio horizons is
Jane Pickens who returns to radio
after an absence of some 16 years.
Miss Pickens had launched a

member of the ramed PickensI
Sisters, and when her sisters,
left the trio to marry, Jane ex-
plored the fields of musical
comedy, supper clubs and the
concert stage.
Now she is back where she start-
ed, and this I migLht add is top-
flight news for radio fans. The
singer, a native of Atlanta, Ga.,
is currently on the air at 5 p.m.
Sundays with a fine show of her
own.
Ad to these two newcomers,
Dinah Shore, the Andrews Sis-
ters, Evelyn Knight and a host of
other fine songstresses and I can
promise that there'll be a song in
your heart, too.
