Sherbon To Dance 'Rapsody In Blue'
Miss Alice Sherbon, who with her concert dance group will be featured with the University of Kansas symphony orchestra, Thursday, in Hoch Auditorium, is the daughter of Dr. Florence Sherbon, professor of Home Economics at the University.
Miss Sherbon, who attended the University in 1929 and '30, has composed her own solo section, designed the costumes for the entire group, and is responsible for the entire arrangement of the dance, "Rhappys in Blue", which will feature five soloists; John Cross, Marjorie Perry, Juanita Priest, Alice Sherbon, and Frederick Rogers.
In writing of this dance Miss Sherbon says:
"No effort has been made to interpret the music. I believe it is complete in itself and needs no interpretation. Each member of the audience is free to interpret it in terms of his or her own experience."
"When starting to work on the dance, "Rhapsody in Blue", I decided that the first step was to find everything possible that had been written about the music. The following seems to sum up the various opinions."

THURSDAY'S CONCERT--ten about the music. The following seems to sum up the various opinions."
(continued from page one)
"Bolero." This striking twentieth century composition uses a motif which is repeated in increasing volume to the end of the piece. This number has been called everything from "sadistic" and "cheap" to "unbelievable" by musical authorities. Regardless of expert opinion, it remains a favorite of concert-goers in the United States.
Completing the program will be the "Euryanthe" oveture, (Weber), and a group of five numbers of the novelty variety, "The Music Box" (Liasoff), "Pavanne from American Symphonette No. 2" (Gould), "Perpetual Motion" (Strauss), "The Beautiful Blue Danube Waltzes" (Strauss), and "Indian War Dance" (Skilton). The two Strauss numbers are by a different Strauss than the one who wrote "Till," being Johann (Waltz King) Strauss, an earlier member of that musical family.
The "Pavane" will be conducted by Eugene Crabb, fine arts senior and assistant conductor of the orchestra, and "Perpetual Motion" will be conducted by Richard Rice, fine arts senior, who conducted its playing on the children's concert of the orchestra a few weeks ago.
"Typically of and for Americans. Urban in its background. Rural in its remotest origins. Nervous as a stock broker. Hurried as New York. Gaudy as Hollywood. Colorful as a neon sign. Insinuatingly clever as a politician."
"The color blue, which is the predominate theme of the dance, is used because; "Blue is masculine. Blue in its brightest intensities has a drawing quality, power to hold the eye dramatically. In its lighter hues, blue has a restful quality. Blue is a cold, melancholy color."
"These ideas," says Miss Sherbon, "were considered as a starting point with the dancers as an additional set of instruments woven into the orchestration of "Rhapody in Blue."

Into Kansas Telephone Pay Envelopes Goes $4,000,000 a Year
Telephone costs have been growing rapidly and wages have caused a share of this increase. This year, for example, the wages paid the men and women who operate and maintain the telephone service in some 150 Kansas towns and cities this company serves represent nearly half of the cost of providing the service.
Good wages are vital to good telephone service, but the fact remains that increasing wages are in part responsible for increasing costs. And in spite of better methods and constant economies on the job, the cost of furnishing telephone service has been increasing at a faster rate than this company's revenue in Kansas.
Four million dollars lastyear went into the pay envelopes of more than three thousand employees of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Kansas—wages to operators, to linemen and repairmen, to.others in the far-flung brigade of telephone men and women in Kansas.
