Michigan Sees

Ann Arbor. Mich, oct Zap

cts Saturday, looked today at
schedule that in the next three
weeks will pit them against North
western. Minnesota and Illinois.
The coaches lived the painful
moments Of Saturdays game over
again while viewing slow motion
pictures OF the game. They saw
Michigan open with a fury that
brought her two swift touchdowns
within IS minutes and then saw the
steady, powerful stream OF Sea
hawks reserves pour from the
bench and grind the weary Nolyer-
ines into submission.
Even after watching the Cadets
cross the Michigan goal line for
two quick touChdowns before half
time the coaches heaped praise
on the pluckv handful OF regulars
who chung prilously to a 1913 lead
through the entire third qparter.
Then. in the fourth quarter
came the collapse Power rolled

halks scored twice more Bierman

He sent them in in relays, aiming
always TO keep his line fresh and
eager and his backs fast and

Through the whole afternoon.
Crisler employed six requirements
in his line. Five OF these reserves
did not see action until the victory
was lost. and it was nothing less
than sheer cruelty to punish the
regulars any more.

In the morning mail received a
letter OF friendly complaint from
a Michigan woman. She wants me
to write about Michigan women in
Washington. Not necessarily some
one OF front page importance. but
someone who az least is the wife OF
someone in the middle OF things
in the nation capital.
So | interviewed Mrs. Harold d.
Smith, the woman who budgets the

She's speaking Spanish with
great gusto. Relishing a chance 10
brush up on her Spanish after years
of disuse since she taught II in
Kansas. she is devoted to a crusade
for more instruction in the Spanish
language in ;he elementary school
system.
Most of her Michigan friends re-
member her better for her tourna-
ment golf. she told me the other
day. | discovered that she carries
her own clubs Ito save money for

When she lived in Ann Arbor,
Mrs. Smith as president of the
League of Women Voters and for
two years served on the state board.
Later she was president OF the Ann

On her volunteer job she inter

As a forerunner to her present
post, Mrs. Smith went back to her
former home IN Ann Arbor during
the past summer TO attend a Ian
guage conference. which was at
tended by 90 leading Spanish and
English teachers of the United
States.
To do this wartime job, Mrs.
Smith must budget her time care

cert through the cooperation with

Next Week
Group to Sing
With National
Symphony

When Sylvan Levin, the dynamic
artistic director of the Philadelphia
Opera Co., and David Hooker, its
general manager, decided to do
something about the state of opera
in America, they made up their
minds that opera was nothing If it
was not good show. The plays
the thing, they agreed, even though
1t Is set to music. They needed
singers, but more than that, they
needed singers who could act.
How we'll they succeeded in find-
ing such duo-talents will be seen
when the Philadelphia Opera Co.,
with four seasons of revolutionary
success behind it, comes to Consti-
tuition Hall next Monday. Tuesday
and Wednesday, January 4. 5 and s.
Presented by the National SYM
phony Orchestra Association, this
young aggregation of young Ameri-
can actor-singers will appear with
the National Symphony Orchestra,
Sylvan Levin conducting.
Levin and Hooker had very def
mite specifications when they set
out to scour the country for artists.
A singer must have an outstanding
voice, but that was only the he
ginning. He-or she-must also +,
young. good to look at, graceful ar1
skillful in the art of the theater.
No upholstered divas or tenors with
overdeveloped waistlines were want
ed, and no exotic accents, since one
of their principles was that opera
ought to be Ineligible without ref
erence to translation.
The membership of the company
was hand picked out of more than
1000 young artists, from every State,
from every walk of life. Trained in
this country's incompatible music
schools and conservat tories. but find
ing opportunities for earning a liv-
ing In opera almost non-existent in
their native land. one was selling
silk stockings from door to door, an
other taught in a backwoods school,
a third modelled in Los Angeles de-
partment store, fourth was bill
collector for the Staten Island Edi-
son Co.
Their average age is 81. and all
are native Americans except the dis
tinguished stage director, who
proved his Americanism by learning
to operate lathe in case his new
country should need his skill outside
the opera house.
Operas to be presented in Wash
ington are billed by their translated
titles, following the all-English pol
Icy which has been adapted. Johann
Strauss Die Fledermaus," to be
given on the opening night, Monday,
January 4, is henceforth THE Bait:

The Marriage Of Figaro" scheduled

Puccini's I'll Tabarro" is titled The

Philadelphia
Symphony Offers
Holiday Program
Traditional Music
OF Bach, Brahms and
Beethoven Featured

Playing program of tradi-
tional music-Bach, Beethoven and
Brahms-the Philadelphia Orchestra
comes to Constitution Hall at $50
Tuesday evening for'a holiday con-
cert. Rudolf Serkin guest pianist,
has chosen the Beethoven Concerto
No. S." Familiarity known as the
Emperor" for his number with the
orchestra. This nickname, given the
concerto by the pianist and pub
Usher, j. B. Cramer, seems singu-
larly inept, since Beethoven wrote
it in defiance of military authority
to show that Vienna in 1909 would
be remembered for it's music, rather
than French conquest.
During the spring of that year,
Napoleon's troops occupied the city,
times were hard, Beethoven's wealthy
pupils and patrons fed the city, all
was turmoil. The composer ignored
all this, went into seclusion. drew
upon his rich and serene spirit, and
wrote Concerto No. S." with all its
depth and grandeur. 1t was first
performed three years later at a
fashionable benefit for the Society
of Noble Ladies for the Furthering
of the Good and Useful" along with
tableaux and soprano arias.
Serkin is quite a family man.
When he was II and the daughter
of his violinist colleague, Adolph
Busch, was 4, he promised to wait for
her. He Gid just that. The two
families shared an estate in Basic
and, now that they live in New York,
they have apartments in the same
building.
Grandpa Busch plays his violin
for 2-year-old Elisabeth. Nursery
tunes are "songs" to her, but Bach
and Beethoven are music" Every
morning Ursula and Elisabeth knock
at their fathers door and Ursula
whistles A, G. If she misses the
notes the children are not admitted
but she always gets them right.
Many Philadelphia Orchestra pa
irons were disappointed at not being
able to get seats for the Rubinstein
"sell-out" concert on December /.
The Serkin concent on the 29th is
an extra, not on the regular series,
so that seats are available in every
part of the house. The orchestral
numbers on Tuesdays program will
be two Bach choral preludes and the
Brahms Symphony No. 2 in Z
ma jOr,"
