WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1953 PAGE STX PUBLICITY MIXUP:' Comedy Given Morbid Interpretation f+5 0 ., 4, N I - 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.

Mayor Brown Plans Express Toll Highways I Minneapols 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."

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.
