Woody Herman, Band To Play for Homecoming Annual Dance Will Feature 'Herd' Jazz Woody Herman and his band will set the musical mood for the all-campus Homecoming Dance, to be presented from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 23, in the Intra- Mural Building. Tickets for the event, which will take place on the same weekend as the homecoming game with Minnesota, are priced at $3.60. They will go on sale on Wednes- day, Oct. 13, on the Diagonal and in the Administration Building. "Third Herd" Herman has been rounding up his "Third Herd," his new 15 mem- ber band, for three years, and re- cently hit his audiences with an unorthodox method of beginning a fast number. Dropping into a distance-run- ner's stance, he stamped out four beats and shouted a hoarse, rapid "Bow! Bow!" For starting quieter numbers, he counted out the beat or snapped his fingers. "The most exciting thing in jazz is when a band can make it," ac- cording to the forty-one year old Herman. His first band to make jazz was called "The Band That Plays the Blues," which performed around the country from 1936 un- til it was broken up by the draft. Top Bandsman In 1944 he organized the "Her- man Herd." This put him among the top bandsmen in the country, but he disbanded it because it left WOODY HERMAN him too little time for his wife and daughter. However, a year later he had another "standout" herd. This proved to be a disastrous venture because it was dedicated to a dying bop style and cost him $175,000 before he could break it up. A veteran of the dance band business, Herman was a vaudeville trooper when he was only eight years old. He did an act singing and playing the clarinet and was billed as "The Boy Wonder of the Clarinet." After finishing high school, he enrolled in Marquette M u s i c School in Milwaukee and after a year began working with local bands. In 1929 he went to Califor- nia with Tom Gerun's band as featured singer and instrumen- talist.

Speaking to Miss Kitt the other night in her dressing room at De- When finally the last bit of grease paint had been applied, Miss Kitt told us to sit down. As we settled into our seat we started to ask a question. "Of all your records, which is your personal favorite?" "I don't have any favorite," she said, "I wouldn't sing them if I didn't like them all." Round One went to Eartha. We retreated to our corner and val- iantly attempted to steel ourselves for Round Number Two. Dramatic Role "We understand that 'Mrs. Pat- terson' is a dramatic play, Miss Kitt. After your success with 'New Faces' how do you feel about ap- pearing in a non-musical?" La Kitt hissed a bit and replied "If I didn't enjoy it I wouldn't be appearing in it." Licking our wounds we asked the feline Eartha which of the shows' tunes she had recorded. Which song could her public en- joy in the solitude of their own homes?" "I don't really remember," she said. "If anybody wants to buy one I suppose the man in the rec- ord shop will tell them which one is available." Not wishing to emulate the fate of the martyrs in Ancient Rome we stopped asking Miss Kitt about the show. She looked relieved. The stage manager stuck his head into the door and whispered "Five minutes, Miss Kitt." We crawled out behind him with our tail between our legs, still licking our wounds, prepared to watch "Mrs. Patterson." 'MRS.

'Mrs. Patterson' As she sat before her mirror applying the make-up that trans- forms her into a 15-year-old for her role in "Mrs. Patterson" she was every inch the lioness in her den.
