PUBLICITY MIXUP:'
Comedy Given Morbid Interpretation

THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Only a publicity mixup could
urn a sophisticated comedy into
a horror show and the campus
student Players have 100-odd pos-
bers to prove it.
Busy rehearsing Philip Barry's
"Philadelphia Story" in the comic
vein, the Players recently received
a batch of posters from publicity
agents in New York advertising
something along the horror show
line.
ALTHOUGH the Players stretch-
ed their ingenuity, no compata-
bility between play and posters
could be found and a new set of
advertisements is on the way.
Scheduled for production Feb.
18 through 21 at Lydia Men-
delssohn Theater, "The Phila-
delphia Story?' has few terror-
istic touches, many elements
that have made it a popular
sophisticated comedy.
The story involves a reporter,
Mike Connor, played by Bob Col-
ton, '56, and his cohort, played by
Lucille Cowen, Grad., who cover
a society event at the home of
wealthy Tracy Lord.
Miss Lord, whose part will be
taken by Harriet Bennett, Grad.,
subsequently decides that her ex-
husband, Ray Strozzi, Grad., is
a more worthy mate than the
prospective husband, Don Haw-
ley, '53A.
The drama will be directed by
Marie D. Miller who is working
for her third year with the play-
ers. Tickets at 75 cents and $1 go
on sale Monday at Lydia Mendel-
ssohn box office.

Symphony
TdAppear p
Noted as one of the most widely e
traveled orchestras in America, y
the Minneapolis Symphony Or-
chestra, Antal Dorati conducting,
will perform at 8:30 p.m. tomor- E
row in Hill Auditorium.
In an ordinary season the or- i
chestra presents concerts to more to
than 150 thousand patrons in 50
towns and cities.
* * *
BUT THIS is nothing new to f
Dorati, who has guest conducted i
orchestras in Germany, Czecho- r
slovakia, Australia, Peru, Chile
and Cuba.
His American debut as a sym-
phonic conductor came in 1937 F
when he took over the Nation-
al Symphony of Washington for
a Beethoven concert. Washing-
ton critics reported he received
"a truly terrific ovation."
With the reorganization of the
Dallas Symphony after the war -
years, Dorati was invited to be-
come permanent conductor. He
traveled 8000 miles to audition
and engage musicians and then
piloted that organization to a top
spot among orchestras of the na-
tion.
When Dimitri Mitropoulos re-
signed his Minneapolis Symphony
position in 1949 to become con-
ductor of the New York Philhar-
monic Orchestra, Minneapolis
Symphony officials chose Dorati
as his successor.
The program for tomorrow's
concert will include Mozart's
"Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," De-
bussy's "La Mer" and Brahms'
"Symphony No. 1."

Mayor William E. Brown yes-
terday outlined a plan for build-
ing two limited access toll high-
ways to connect Detroit with Chi-
cago and Toledo with the Bay
City area.
The plan calls for the proposed
expressways to pass near Ann Ar-
bor and possibly intersect nearby.
The roads, built tax-free to State
residents, will be financed by
bonds retired by tolls of motorists
and truckers.
The highways would probably
cost about $250,000,000, Brown
said. He is the spokesman for a
citizens group backing legislation
to set up a State toll road author-
ity. The bill is now before the
Senate Highway Committee.
Local Organization
Contributes Blood

Blood Bank gave 137 pints of blood
last week in Red Cross clinics.
Together with 148 pints donated
by inmates of the Federal Cor-
rectional Institution at Milan, 527
pints were given in Washtenaw
county.
The blood will be used for both
military and civilian purposes.
