THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1953
Fred Waring
Will Appear
In Concerts
Novelty Acts, Dancers
Soloists To Participate
In Ann Arbor Show
t
Fred Waring, who will star in
two concerts featuring the Pennsy-
lvanians, and soloists, at 7 and
9:30 p.m. Saturday, March 14 in
Hill Auditorium, recently cele-
brated his 36th anniversary of be-
ing in show business.
It was on February 15, 1917
that the original Fred Waring or-
chestra played its first "paid" en-
gagement while Waring was still
a student at Pennsylvania State
College.
Waring made his professional
M debut as a full time entertainer in
1922 by playing a two-week en-
gagement at the Majestic Theatre
on Maynard Street here in Ann
Arbor.
The band had played as a "sec-
ond" band for a J-Hop at the
University and has been such a
success that the manager of the
theatre hired them for a two week
stand.
Although The Pennsylvanians
became successful for many years
through their radio work, their
fame recently has been spread by
their work on television.
The Ann Arbor concerts of the
Fred Waring tour group will con-
sist mainly of the personalities
that are featured on the regular
television programs.
Dancing, specialty acts and so-
loists will be .featured as well as
the famed Waring Glee Club and
orchestra.
Waring, himself, claims he en-
joys the new medium of television
as it creates a feeling of good
fellowship and the all-for-one
spirit that he feels is necessary in
a cast.
The cast concentrates on their
work through the week and then
often relaxes on week-ends at War-
ing's home on Shawnee-on-Dela-
ware.
There they indulge in sports,
for the cast includes numerous
golfers as well as Joe Marine, who
* plays semi-pro baseball for an
American Legion team in New Jer-
sey.
* Gin rummy, swimming, bicycl-
ing, tennis and roller skating are
favorite past times of the cast
members after a long week of re-
hearsal sessions.
As a baseball team, the Penn-
sylvanians boast of their young
mascot who brings them luck and
cheers them, through each per-
formance.
This mascot's name is Mike, or
more often "Red." He is a shy
fiery-haired 11-year-old boy who
first showed up at a rehearsal
selling newspapers a couple of
*years ago.
Although he has no actual busi-
ness at the television studio, he
spends most of his time watching
rehearsals, darting around the
studio and running errands for
the members of the cast.
Mike was disappointed that he
couldn't accompany the Pennsyl-
vanians on the transcofitinental
concert tour which is now in pro-
gress.
The Ann Arbor stop of the War-
ing tour will be one of the 58 cities
in 24 states where the Pennsylvan-
lans will be giving concerts.
The group plans to tour 17,000
miles by plane, train, and bus cov-
ering the Pacific northwest, Cali-
fornia, the southwest, the mid-
west and the south.
Mail order sales for the Waring
concert are now in progress with
tickets priced at '$2.40, $1.80 and
$1.20.
The publicity committee requests
that checks be made payable to
the Men's Glee Club and mailed to
1020 Administration Building.

Assem bly Ball To Feature Music
By Paul McDonough's Orchestra,

FIRST PERFORMANCE FOR WOMEN ONLY:
JGPTo Present 'Vanity Flair'
As
Annual Production
Music by Paul McDonough's or-
chestra which will be presented
in the League ballroom at this
Saturday's Assembly all will
feature the piano magic of the or-
chestra leader and vocals by Bet-
ty Magyar.
Having already played for over
S30 campus events this year, Paul
McDonough along with one of
the present members, Art Stade,
organized the orchestra four years
ago.
At that time while the two stu-
dents were living at East Quad,
Stade was chairman of one of the
dorm's dances and had the task of
hiring an orchestra.
Leaping at the opportunity, he
hired the newly formed group
of which he was a member for
their first public appearance.
At the present time other mem-
bers of the orchestra are Mal
Campbell, formerly with Ray El-
liot's orchestra; Bud Cook, trum-
pet player for Sammy Fletcher's
band and Ivan Zehn, experienced
bass player from Ann Arbor.
Majoring in speech at the Uni-
versity, Betty Magyar, the vocal-
ist, has sung at numerous campus
shows. She has had leading roles
n JGP, Soph Cab and Soph Sa-
Itire.
As the group rapidly gains in
popularity, more and more offers
for new playing engagements are
received. Among these is the op-
portunity to perform at a night
club in Detroit later on in the se-
mester and to play at an Atlan-
tic City resort this summer.
McDonough the leader of the
group is a freshman in Law
School and has divided his time
between writing songs and play-
ing piano for the Union Operas.
Last year he was featured on his
own radioshow "Piano Varieties"
and accompanied the silent films
presented by the SL Art League
and the Gothic Film Society.
Hailing from Escanaba, Michi-
gan, McDonough has received
numerous musical offers to be staff
pianist at radio stations in Chica-
go.
Specializing in requests, Mc-
'Donough's orchestra presents a
,completerepertoire of current hit
tunes, old-time favorites, waltzes,
and Latin American dances.

WITH THE PLAY only two
weeks away combined rehearsals
are being held daily after three
weeks of separate singing, danc-
ing and speaking rehearsals.
In keeping with tradition, the
plot of the play is kept secret
from the rest of the campus-
that is, the Central Committee
members hope it is being kept
secret.
A few hints as to its potential-
ities were, however, revealed by
Jane Thompson, author of the
musical comedy.
* * *
MISS THOMPSON said that the
play contains a large number of
odd characters, including singing
dogs, various and sundry cowboys,
Indians and stage struck show
people.
Something new to the Men-
delssohn stage will also be pre-
sented by the junior women in
the form of a chorus of har-
monizing ukes.
Tickets for the evening perform-
ances which will be given both Fri-
day and Saturday nights are 90
cents, and for the Saturday aft-
ernoon matinee they are 75 cents.
