MICHIGAN WILL

TO THE MURAT
Front Page Stuff Is the An
nuaI Show of Noted
University.

Front Page Stuff" the twenty
first annual Union Opera of the Uni
verslty of Michigan, which plays at
Murat on Dec. IS. will, in every
respect, equal the standard set by
former operas of the university, ac-
cording to announcements made yes
terday.
With an extremely well-written
plot, excellent singing possibilities,
number of exceptional musical num-
bers and an unusually talented dane
ing group, the opera this year will
undoubtedly be as great a success as
"Tambourine" of last year.
This years book is the work of
Milton A. Peterson Of Detroit, a stu.
dent in the law school, who is also
the composer of most Of the music
and lyrics.
Additional musical numbers and
lyrics were written by Miss Dorothy
Stone, who, last spring, was made an
honorary member of Mines. campus
dramatic society, and by William M.
Lewis Jr., of Muskegon, Mich,
sophomore in the literary college,
who will play the feminine lead in
the 1927 production.
Front Page Stuff" Is q two-act
production of the musical comedy
type, differing noticeably in its eff
forts from the loosely-woven revue
show and yet more compact and
lighter than the romantic costume
show.
It promises to have decided col
legiate atmosphere in parts, particu
larly through several Of the musical
numbers. Scenes and costuming
effects are not to be disregarded in
the least, for the settings are equal
ly as elaborate as those of last years
