Duo-Pianists Display Accord And Sympathy
Z229
Two Thousand Persons
Hear Vronsky and Babin
P l a y, Russian, Concert
and Five Encores
By Bob Beeler, c'40
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Babin last night presented their concert of two-piano music, the sixth number of the University course course, to an enthusiastic audience. About two thousand persons heard the concert, of predominantly Russian selections.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 29. 1938
The Babins, looking more like a young couple of a little more than college age than the veteran musicians they proved themselves to be, displayed remarkable sympathy and played in perfect accord. The audience was aware of no effort on the part of the duo to stay together they seemed rather to play as one musician on one instrument. Instinctively almost, they played together without the restraint and limit on interpretation usually found in duets.
- say Rachmaninovi Compositions
  the second group of numbers were compositions of Rachmaninovi. The tarantella of the "Second Suite" of Mozart's *La Violin Concerto*, his sky's technique, so that her shoulder muscles rippled in the fast dance.
Following the intermission, the program was lighter. The two etudes by Babin, as might be expected of such studies, demonstrated technique rather than interpretation. In the "Elude Number Three" one pianist played half a run or trill and the other took it up in the middle of the second part in harmony or dynamics. Both played easily and naturally.
Babin Arranges Music
In playing Babin's arrangement of "The Flight of the Bumble-Jeep" (Rimsky-Korsakoff), favorite piece for demonstration of agility on all instruments, the team played with exceptional smoothness and speed.
The last number on the program, the wild Polovtian dances from "Prince Igor" (Borodin), which also was a Babin arrangement, was perhaps best liked of all by the audience. Russian plains throw themselves into a vivid vigor that its brilliance brought enthusiastic applause.
The audience called for five encores, of which "Waltz in A Major" (Brahms) was most beautiful. The modern idiom were definitely in the modern idiom.
on the SHIN by Mitchell and Wire
The Royalists announce—"Brass Nuckles, K.U.'s Big Stick" is resting for the campaign. However his camp-managers announce that it "is high time the faculty came out in the open about running the Camp-Managers," and now planning his cabinets posts. For Minister of Suppression he has chosen "Sarg" Colander. We have not been able to get in touch with the sergeant yet but it will be generally accepted that he will use clementy to all political prisoners. The minds behind the plan are the short sentences in concentration camps. Victory is assured. King Brass now rets.
We saw a poor little brown dog the other afternoon with a Pachi-camyle tag on his collar. The poor dog was going along with his bung low. At first we thought he might be rising up, because he was walking back and forth in front of the P.S.L.G alley office. (The boys wanted to get close to any back fence gossip that might be floating around.) After a while the poor little dog took an attitude about him. We don't know, but maybe a can of Vigoro might help the situation.
New Plank:We advocate optional (for students) class attendance.

Glee Clubs Sing in Concert
Solos Will Be Sung by Loren McCormack and Claude Dorsey
The featured number on the conduction is not an oratorio; she feels that all music lovers will agree with her in calling it a concert drama. As one apt observer expressed it, "An oratorio is like a desert with occasional oases. But Sunday's performance of the concert drama is an oasis from beginning to end."
The featured number on the concert program by the combined Men's and Women's Gleer Clubs of the University tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium will be the "Coronation Scene" from the Russian opera.
This number will be sung by the massed chorus of more than 100 voices under the direction of Prof. Joseph F. Wilkins. Solos in the scene will be sung by Loren McCormack, c'38, tenger, as Prince Shoisek and Claude Dorsey, c'38, baritone, as Boris.
The rest of the program will be made up of groups sung by the two clubs, a group by the Jayhawk Male Quartet, and "The Screaders," a musical sketch, written and directed by Jack Laffer, c'39.
An innovation in directing which has been used all this year by the men's club in its concerts will be seen on the Campus for the first time tomorrow night. Instead of the usual director in front of the club, Jack Laffer, student director, will conduct from the club line-up.
Roberta Cook, fa 39, will direct a group of twelve voices singing six-part harmony in a featured presentation of the women's club.
Both organizations returned recently from concert tours of Kansas towns.

Large Crowd Hears Kelley's Oratorio
Otto Missner Direct
"Pilgrim's Progress" in
Hoch Auditorium Sun
day Afternoon
Fully three thousand persons attended the performance of Dr. Edgar Stillman Kelley's "Pilgrim's Prog." His "Hoch auditorium Sunday afternoon."
Miss Mabel. Barnhart, of the School of Fine Arts faculty, was instrumental in training the chorus of 200 children's voices. Cordley, McAllister, New York, Pinkney, Woodlawn, and the Lawrence Junior High School were represented in the junior chorus. The children sang entirely from memory and were dressed in white.
To Dr. Otto Miesner, the new conductor of the Lawrence Choral Union, goes the first and largest portion of praise. Since October Doctor Miesner has been training the 200 adult voices; and it was his duty in the final performances to co-ordinate the work of the 500 performers through more than two hours of vigorous musical work. The oratorio in its entirety would have lasted at least three hours.
Barnhart Trains Chorus
Karl Kueisterstein, regular conductor of the University Symphony Orchestra, worked with his organization during the early part of the season, acquainting it with the task.
Williams Assists
Joe Williams, choral director at the Lawrence Memorial High School, and E. Thayer Gaton, in charge of the music at Oread Training School were valuable assistants in section rehearsals of smaller choral groups during the weeks previous to the performance.
The collection taken during the intermission amounted to $123, and will be used toward defraying the heavy expense. Collection plates were loaned by the First Methodist and First PBSterian churches.
At the close of the second part Dean D. M. Swarthout escorted Dr and Mrs. Eglar Stillma Kelley to the front of the auditorium, whose students were presented by Doctor Miesner. The audience arose to accord them honor.
Musical Revue Assumes Form
Ticket sales for "Spring Swing" were brisk yesterday despite the rain. Jim Coleman, producer of the Sigma Delta Chi sponsored musical revue expressed optimism last week after the expected success of the show.
Fraser theater is busy from morning to night these days as the directors of the various parts of the revenue put their organizations through intensive rehearsals. Last night the first eo-ordination of parts was effected. Costume artists and scenery designers are working rapidly to prepare the costumes and set for next Tuesday for a two-day run.
Tickets are on sale in the basement of Green hall. All seats are reserved at the same price of 35 cents.

Mrs. Kelley insists that the production is not an oratorio; she feels that all music lovers will agree with her in calling it a concert drama. As one apt observer expressed it, "An oratorio is like a desert with occasional oases. But Sunday's performance of the concert drama is an oasis from beginning to end."
"His family early recognized his creative ability as an artist," replied Mrs. Kelley, in answer to questions asked her last Sunday, "but nobody knew whether he would be a painter, musician, sculptor, or what. Not until he was 12 or 14 years of age did he realize that he was destined to be a composer. He startled notes for his concert drama, Pilgrim's Progress, and he many years in serious study upon it. But not until 1916 was he given his great opportunity—the culmination of all his dreams—when he was asked to write for the Cincinnati Festival. Two years later, in 1918, "Pilgrim's Progress" was presented; and later still, was presented again in New York under the direction of Walter Dumrosch."
P.S.G.L. TICKET
In 1918, a world-renowned concert drama was performed at the May Festival in Cincinnati, with a chorus of 1500 voices and an orchestra of 150. That drama was "Pilgrim's Feast," from the piece of Edgar Stillman Kelley, who had dreamed and thought about it for fifty years after he had first discovered the pictures in his father's library.

As a small child in a Wisconsin town he occasionally played in the attic of his father's church library. One day some particularly intriguing illustrations in one of the books caught his fancy. He determined to learn to read, so that he could find out more about the interesting pictures. That book was "Pilgrim's Progress."

M. Joseph F. King of Lawrence will speak on "Psychological Development During Adolescence" at the Museum server museum this afternoon at 3:30.
"At present there are six bills in congress, asking for some form of fine arts bureau, either to be established as a separate department or to be incorporated within an existing department. The budget of the state of the 23 foremost countries of the world with no federal support for the arts."
This is the third lecture in the Girl Reserve training course, which is sponsored by the School of Education and the Y.W.C.A. Mrs. King was on Saturday on the same subject at 3:30 at Spencer-Thayer museum.
Asked concerning the prospects in store for the bill that she and Walter Damrosch, as well as other notables, are sponsoring in congress, for appointment of a secretary for fine arts to the President's cabinet, Mrs. Kelley replied that there is a good chance for creation of such an office, although it may be several years before it is established.
For the past five years Miss Clark has been engaged in workers' education in Colorado and has had experience with labor situations of all kinds. Problems of the conflict between CIO and A.F. of L., the company of the shops, shops, and collective bargaining will be included in the discussion.
