Festival of Jazz Of Stan Kenton Planned Dec.5
"The Festival of Modern American Jazz," under the direction of Stan Kenton, will be presented in Hoch auditorium at 8:30 p.m. Dec 5, sponsored by Student Union Activities.
With Kenton and his orchestra,
"The Festival" will feature six other
leading musicians in the field of
modern jazz-June Christy, Dizzy
Gillespie, Erroll Garner, Stan Getz,
Slim Gaillard, and Candido.
June Christy will sing songs which made her famous when she was featured vocalist with the Kenton orchestra. Dizzy Gillespie will be featured on the trumpet and Stan Getz on the tenor saxophone. Piano stylist Erroll Garner and his trio will present their ideas of jazz. Slim Starr will perform "progressive sounds" which he calls "Vout". Candido will present jazz on the bongo drums, native tom-tom drums.
The Wichita Eagle commented "Listening to Kenton's music and trying to catch the delicacy, drama, and bombast that typifies every phase is like seeing Oliveris's "Hamlet" once. You miss too much."
"The Festival" is the first attempt to combine Stan Kenton's orchestra with other leading musicians of American jazz to present a concert series.
Jim Graves, vice president of SUA,
said today that tickets will go on sale
for $2.04 and $1.53 Nov. 14 in the

Students Must Sign To Attend Lectures
Western Civilization students, interested in attending the second discussion group, must sign up before Friday, Nov. 13, in room 9, Strong annex B.
The discussion will be held two evenings, Nov. 16-17, with Dr. Walter Sandelius, professor of political science, speaking on "Leading Thinkers of the Beginning of Modern Western Civilization." The talk will cover the material in units two and three.
- Approximately 200 editors and publishers of daily and weekly newspapers in all sections of the state have made reservations for the morning program, sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism, for luncheon as guests of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, and to attend the game as guests of the University Athletic association.
Wives, friends and colleagues of editors will raise the crowd total to well over 500, it was predicted today by Dean Burton W. Marvin of the School of Journalism.
Three events closely related to history of the press will be highlights of the morning program.
The collection now consists of about 200 original cartoons, comic strips and panels, many of which will be exhibited Saturday in the William Allen White Memorial Reading room of the Journalism building. The presentation will take place in the reading room at 11 a.m., with Chancellor Murphy introducing Mr. Reid.
Albert T. Reid of New York City, native Kansan and for several decades a leading cartoonist and illustrator in the East, will present formally to the School of Journalism the Albert T. Reid Cartoon collection. Twenty years ago Mr. Reid began sending to the then department of journalism originals by leading cartoonists.
At 11:30 a.m. in Fraser theater Dr. Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, president of the Kansas State Historical society and chairman of the Kansas Territorial Centennial committee, will speak on "An Amazing Century."
Following Prof. Taft's address Dean Marvin will announce the names of five Kansas editors elected by the Kansas press this year to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame. Thirty-one deceased editors were honored by election to the Hall of Fame between 1931 and 1948, and the election this year represented a revival of the annual balloting.
The pictures of the five men chosen this year will be hung in the Journalism building along with those of the 31 previously elected. The Hall of Fame is sponsored by the School of Journalism, and the balloting is conducted by the school. All Kansas editors have an opportunity to make nominations from among editors deceased three or more years, and the final voting is done by members of the Quarter Century club, editors with at least 25 years' experience on Kansas newspapers.
Preceding these three events will be the annual Wrangle session in room 205 of the Journalism building.
Feist Sparks 'Glass Menagerie'
By LETTY LEMON
An enthusiastic audience applauded Frances Feist's performance in last night's presentation of the University Theatre play "The Glass Menagerie," by Tennessee Williams.
Mrs. Feist was superlative as a domineering mother living in a St. Louis tenement. She could never quite live in the present, but insisted instead on remembering her gentlemen callers, beaux, and the men she might have married when she lived in "Blue Mountain."
Playing Amanda, Mrs. Feist's acting ability, vitality, and convincing southern accent overwhelmed the play, in which she overshadowed the other performers.
Nancy Reich, college freshman displayed considerable and commendable restraint in her role as the crippled and pathologically shy Laura.
Bruce Robb was perhaps too bumputous as the extroverted, gumchewing gentleman caller who revealed, after a sometimes-effective scene with Miss Reich, that he was already engaged. His part was intended to convey a sense of reality to the play, as a poet's symbol employed by the author. The impression seemed lacking, however, partly because the contrast was too great, and partly because Robb forgot many of his lines. He was more clown than symbol.
Robert Londerholm, second year law, indicated a capacity for competent acting, particularly in his "drunken" scene, but his narration,
delivered with studied casualness, was decidedly ineffective.
Nearly as effective as Mrs. Feist's performance was the technical aspect of the play. The setting, although more realistic than this writer expected, was excellent. Lighting was at all times effective. The music played when Laura turned to her collection of glass animals was particularly appropriate.
One technical device which was quite amusingly clever was the lighting and blinking of father's picture when he was mentioned in a scene. Father was a telephone man who fell in love with long distance and left for parts unknown.
"The Glass Menagerie" is enjoy- able entertainment, although it tends to appear as Mrs. Feist's vehicle all the way.
