MUIer’s Orchestra WUI Make Music At Christinas Fete Thoughts of the fresh, clean smell of newly cut spruce, glitter ing tinsel, merry laughter, and the swish of those new formats across the dance floor mean only one thing — Norton Union’s Annual Christmas Dance. What could be more inviting to usher in the Christmas season than dancing to the music of Max Miller and his Orchestra in the Main Ball room of the Hotel Statler? From 10 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, De cember 20, 1947, this scene can be yours to start off a gay holiday spirit. (Note: There is not an \s\ on that last word—yet!) Tickets for this semi-formal af fair went on sale last Wednesday in Room 252, Norton Hall, for the price of 32.40, at the same time publicity was brought out. The response has been terrific as the tickets are being sold only on a first come, first serve basis, with your Norton Union card required to purchase one. The professional schj)ols are obtaining theirs at their respective bursar’s offices. The Christmas Dance is under the general chairmanship of Dan Radel, assisted by Peg MacPher- son, publicity chairman, with Mar garet Thurstone assisting; Brad Steiger, ticket chairman; Ruth Klntner and Marjorie Daubert, guest chairmen; Louis Sagi, dec orations chairman, with Stuart E. Hample and A1 Szymanski, busi ness managers. Marian Saunders is the featured vocalist with Max Miller, and rhythms guaranteed to please will be beckoning many from that lit tle room at the far end of the Statler Lobby. A reminder that there are a limited number of tickets should be enough to assure your early purchase , to treat yourself to a really grand time. \Outward Bound,” a playwritten by Sutton Vane in 1924, is the Blue Masquers’ first presentation of the 1947-48 season. It also i^arks the 20th anniversary of the Blue Masquers on the U. B. campus. At last night’s opening the play was a marked success. Because Norton Auditorium holds'^ a small number of persons, the piay will be staged again tonight and for the last time tomorrow night. A few tickets are still avail able at the Blue Masquers booth in Norton Lobby for both nights, and there is also expected to be a door sale. The price per person for a ticket is $1.00, The cast Includes Robert Popper as Scrubby; Shirley E. Clabeau as Ann; Joseph C. Natali, Henry; James H. Mohr, Tom Prior; David Relsman, Mr. Duke; Delores Ra don, Mrs. Cliueden Banks; Vyette Loonsk, Mrs. Midget; Rudolph A. Ertischek, Mr. Lingley, and H. Morton Morrison as Rev. Thomp son. Some of the these members of the cast are familiar to U. B. students while others are aspiring newcomers, though with previous acting experience. Shirley Clabeau, Sandy Radon and Rudy Ertischek were seen In the plays given by Blue Masquers last year. Jim Mohr, although new to the Norton stage, is currently acting as experimental director of the Studio Theater here. The setting of “Outward Bound” is a ship sailing from earth to the hereafter. All of the characters of the play are dead, but at the be ginning don’t know it. After their position has been made clear to them, there are discussions on the merits of each Individual and of their life on earth, “Outward Bound” has been produced and staged in New York, and also be came a smash in various road shows.
