Orchestra in Concert at
Memorial Auditorium
Wednesday
CONSISTS OF 80 MUSICIANS
The University Symphony Or'
chestra, under the direction of H.
Arthur Brown, will give its in-augural
concert at the Memorial
Auditorium, Wednesday night,
November Ist, at 8:30. Mr.
Brown promises that this concert
will be one of the most pleasing

The Symphony which consists
of a total of eighty members,
drawn from U. of L. students, fac'
ulty, and prominent musicians of
the city. The entire orchestra has
been holding extra rehearsals for
the coming concert during the
past few weeks. Spectators at'
tending rehearsals have marveled
at the technique of Mr. Brown’s
conducting, and the enthusiasm
shown by the players.
The program will be as follows:
Symphony in and minor Cesar Franck
Romeo and Juliet Fantasy..Tchaikowsky
Invitation to the Waltz Weber
The Enchanted Lake Liadow
Espana Rhapsody Chabrier
The “Symphony in and minor” is
generally considered one of the
greatest pieces in all musical liter'
ature. It is very melodious, and
contains a religious mysticism
showing the life and spirit of the
composer, who spent the greater
part of his career as an organist
in churches and cathedrals. It is
the only symphony written by
Cesar Franck.
“Romeo and Juliet” is a fantasy
based on Shakespeare’s old french
tragedy. It has been said to con'
tain the greatest music that
Tchaikowsky ever composed.
Weber’s “Invitation to the
Walts” is a waits written in con'
cert style describing a young man
asking a young lady to dance,
then it presents her acceptance,
the actual dance and afterwards
the lady’s thanks.
The “Enchanted Lake” is based
on Russian mythology, depicting
a lake where the spirits of all
good went after death. In this
number, Liadow presents music
which is vague and scintillating.
The “Espana Rhapsody” is a
number of Spanish airs collected
and put into a rhapsody by Cha'
brier while visiting in Spain. The
music is very bright and gay.

Cast of “Eligible Mr.
Bangs” is Commended
Dorothy Haddock’s Performance
Especially Enjoyed
The third in the series of the
one'act plays directed by mem'
ers of the Players Club was pre'
sented last Saturday when Ger'
trude Wyatt gave Robert Haus'
man’s “The Eligible Mr. Bangs.”
In this offering John Payton had
the title role as the much'pursued
Mr. Bangs, and Dorothy Haddock
played Lucille, the predatory
young female who finally manag'
ed to snare him. Julia Woodson
was Jane, the originator of a plot
to capture Mr. Bangs while Julian
Boone took the part of her literal'
minded husband, who almost
ruins the whole plot by his fail'
ure to “catch on” to what the
match'making Jane is doing.
John Rogers acted as critic of
this play. According to Mr. Rog'
ers, the members of this cast, all
of whom are making initial ap'
pearances at the Playhouse should
be commended for their poise on
this occasion for all manner of ill'
luck seemed to be with them. The
success of Miss Haddock in man'
aging to strike a match after the
three other members of the cast
had tried and failed, was greeted
with hearty applause. In Mr.
Rogers’ opinion, the outstanding
performance was that of Miss
Haddock in a part that demanded
more emotionalism than those of
the others.
Florence Black was property
mistress, and also served as the
“voice off'Stage.”

HEARS THRELKELD
Speaks on Vocation Motive in
Cultural Education at
French Village
DESCRIBES OWN SURVEY
Miss Hilda Threlkeld, Dean of
Women, spoke to Kappa Pi Epsil-on,
honorary Social Science Fra'
ternity of U. of L., on Friday, Oc'
tober 20, 1933, at the meeting
held at the French Village. Her
subject was “Vocational Motive in
Cultural Education.”
Miss Threlkeld pointed out
that originally vocational and cub
tural activities were considered
remote and opposed to each other.
Since democracy has come to pre'
vail in education, and life activities
have been accepted as integral
parts of the educational process,
vocational and cultural aims have
more frequently overlapped. In
