COUNT BASIE ON 24th:
Bhaskar and Sasha Perform Friday

Regents Accept Grants
Totalling $673,966.66

University summer session has
scheduled two professional enter-
tainment groups for the coming
weeks.
Bhaskar and Company, with
Sasha, will perform at 8 p.m. Fri-
day in Hill Auditorium, and Count
Basie and his orchestra will ap-
pear on July 24.
The supple Bhaskar, who has
made the Indian dance familiar
to American audiences, opens at
Hill Auditorium on Friday, with
Sasha, his skillful American part-
ner.
Reserved seats for the 8 p.m.
performance aresnow available at
Hill Auditorium box office.
Bhaskar and Sasha come to
Ann Arbor after many successes
on television and stage. They have
appeared on "Producers',jShow-
case," "The Alcoa Hour," "Arlene
Francis Home Show," and others
of equal calibre.
Performances at Carnegie Hall
fnd Brooklyn Academy brought
enthusiastic notices from Broad-
way reviewers.
Bhaskar won fame in India
where he played under the name
of Roy Chowdhury.
Son of India's foremost sculptor,
D. P. Roy Chowdhury., Bhaskar
first took up boxing but was
swayed to dancing by his mother.
He still carries scars as memen-
toes of those earlier days.
The mixture of athletics and
art has introduced an acrobatic
style into his dances. His lively
performances come closer to char-
acteristic Western extroversion,
and he is undoubtedly responsible
for the prominence Indian dances
now enjoy.
Chemotherapy
Lecture Series
Opens Monday
Dr. Wayne W. Umbreit will be-
gin a three lecture series on Mon-
day with the topic "Speculations
on Chemotherapy."
The series is in conjunction
with the University department of
Bacteriology and will be presented
at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday in Rm. 1300 of the
Chemistry Building.
Dr. Umbreit, associate director
of the Merck Institute for Thera-
peutic Research, will discuss "Bio-
chemistry of Behavior" in his sec-
ond paper.
The last lecture of the series will
be on "Comparative Cellular
Physiology."

r

INDIAN DANCE TEAM-Bhaskar and Sasha will perform
at Hill Auditorium

Bhaskar came to this country
in November, of last year.
He organized a troupe of dan-
cers, himself the only Indian. It
was here that he met Sasha who
so capably complements his na-
tive style.
They now have a contract for
a nationwide tour with Columbia
Artists, and the company is shoot-
ing a film on Indian dancing. Ne-
gotiations with MGM are promis-
ing their appearance on the
forthcoming production "Interna-
tional Review."'
Count Basie's popularity has
endured for 22 years.

-Those interested in knowing
why should plan to attend his
show at Hill Auditorium on July
24.
In 1936, Basie was a pianist with
Benny Moten's Kansas' City band.
Moten died an untimely death in
that year; members voted Basie
as their leader. The stage was set
for the Count's later fame.
A year later the immortal Ben-
nie, Goodman discovered Basie in
Kansas City's Reno Club. Im-
pressed with the unknown band's
rhythmic jazz, Goodman worked
the group in with his own book-
ings and signed them with Music
Corporation of America.
