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.

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.
