Sunday Afternoon Choral Rehearsals Will Start Today
Will Practice "Messiah"
for Annual Festival;
Visitors to Be
Excluded
This afternoon at 2:30 the Choral Union will hold its first Sunday, July 19th, in the concert hall forrium. The choir will release "the Messiah" which it will present the first day of the annual Mace Foyer on Friday. All members will be permitted today and all members are expected to be present during the record of attendance being kept.
All Kansas have been represented in the great choruses that present Handel's "Messiah" and Skilton's "Guardian Angel." More than eighty cities of Kansas have members on the roster as musicians pieces of the Lawrence Choral Union.
**Messiah Annual Event**
"The Messiah" has been sung each year since 1952 by the Union Club by Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts, but this is the first time "The Guardian Angel" has been presented here. It was given its premiere by the Kansas Association clubs at Independence last spring.
The adult chorus will be assisted by the "Guardian Angel" by a chorus or 200 children of the public schools.
The theme of "The Guardian Angel" is based on legends of Carlinia mountainers of the early colonial period. She lives in a quiet girl, astray in the forest in search of bright flowers. She falls asleep; hears voices as of percussion call, but doesn't respond.
Later the searchers, find the child and nearby the tracks of a panther whose cries the child thought were calls of searchers.
The mountainers believe that a guardian angel prevented the child- drying out, and thus attracting the attention of the mother.
next week the rehearsals will be held in the high school and the children will assist the chorus.
Jo Dana in Special Dance
Chorususes Are Developing Steps and Combinations
Josephine Dana, c28, has been so secured by the management of the W. S. G. A. musical theatre company that she has an extravaganza special all of her own in the form of a legitimate board "Spanish actress" which she has just recently perfected.

Journalists Revive and Liven Up Virginia Reel
Has the Virginia Tech tool the ability to perform this kind of questioning? No, his student answer is an emphatic "No," at the unveiling of Col. W. R. Nellos's portrait in the Kansas newborn room. His work was the featured entertainment of the afternoon and it was concluded after forty minutes of "treeling" that the girl in the photograph had felt "wired" to give the dance a trial. For the poor old rheumatic, however, this dance would certainly have been hard.
The good old Colonel himself would have shook with laughter could he have seen these students, a little stiff and embarrassed at first, fall into line with them. From the high and mighty senior editor down to the dumbest cubb they all "strutted their stuff" and the side lines, perched on tables and chairs, added zest to the occasion by clapping their hands hilariously to the fiddler's.
One follow, a little loath to shed his garments of sophistication, was pulled into the dance by a member of the chorus. "Just how the steps were performed."
