GUEST SPEAKER
DR. HENRY C. HODGES
BIG AUDIENCE
EXPECTED FOR
PLAY TONIGHT
Third Production, “The Young-est,”
To Be Offered Tonight
And Tomorrow;
Lusky in Lead
APPEALING TO STUDENTS
Reports from the box-offjce on
“The Youngest,” third major pro-duction
of the University of Lou-isville
Players indicate that this
play wil have an unusually en-thusiastic
reception. The play
opens tonight at 8:15 with addi-tional
performances tomorrow aft-ernoon
and night. Gilbert Ohl-mann,
business manager of the
Players expressed himself as be-ing
extremely gratified by the re-sponse
of students to his recent
appeal.
It has been pointed out that
“The Youngest” will have a great
appeal for students, since it is a
play of youth, and concerns itself
with the problems of youth. Al-most
every role in it is a “natural”
—from the blundering, youthful
Richard, played by Louis Lusky,
to the charming Nancy who trans-forms
this ugly duckling. Nancy
will be played by Marie Hourigan.
Others in the cast are: Mary
Woodburn, Bill Lensing, Harry
Lukins, Appleton Federa, Sarah
Stites, Lucille Paris and Ruth
Randall.
University of Michigan students
have voted in favor of the modifi-cation
of a rule putting a ban on
the use of automobiles. Only stu-dents
with degrees may drive cars.
Attention Seniors!
There will be a meeting of
the Senior Class on Monday,
February 12, at twelve o’clock
in aGrdiner Hall. Sarah Stites,
class president, has urgently re-quested
that all seniors attend
this meeting, since there are
several important matters to be
discussed, chief among them
the Thoroughbred. This will
be the last chance the class will
have to consider the matter of
a 1934 annual.

The International Relations
Club and the University Civic

several phases of the situation
in Germany.
Dr. Hodges has recently return-ed
from Europe where he had
been studying municipal adminis-tration
in Germany and interna-tional

BALLET OFFERED
IN 7TH CONCERT
Hanlon Ballet To Be Presented
Tuesday Night at Memorial
Auditorium
OFFERED IN TWO PARTS
(By Bob Roulston)
The ballet on Tuesday, Febru-ary
13th, at the Memorial Audi-torium,
under the direction of
Mary Long Hanlon, will be the
seventh offering in the series of
concerts being presented by the
University of Louisville this sea-son.
The program will be in two
parts, part one consisting of di-vertisements
and part two, devot-ed
to music by Ravel, the enchant-ing
“Mother Goose Suite” and the
Bolero.
Dean Jacques Jolas claims that
included in the program are num-bers
of such varied type as to ap-peal
to lovers of all of the arts.
The opening number, a visualiza-tion
of Tschaikowsky’s Fifth Sym-phony,
(second movement)
should appeal to musicians, in that
it is a “visual orchestra.” Each
dancer or group of dancers traces
in movement the various themes
in the music—not the rhythm
alone, which is so often the case,
but the line of the melody as well,
he says. Each dancer must study
and know her part of the score,
for she must play it, using her
body as her instrument; she is a
part of the great dance orchestra,
and the whole should be a vision
paralleling the music, as satisfying
to the sense of sight as the tones
are to the sense of hearing.
There is a definite appeal to the
lover of drama as well as theflover
of music in such numbers as the
“Arcadian Cycle,” three solo
dances created for Miss Hanlon by
Ted Shawn. These dances have
