An Orchestra Wanted For Big Outdoor Play To Be Given In June
Musical Accompaniment is Lacking for Dramatic Club Production, "Electra" of Sophocles
"Electra," the big outdoor performance to be given by students of the University early in June, is lacking in one of its necessary ingredient, an orchestra.
Musical accompaniment to events of this kind have always been furnished by a student orchestra. This year, however, there is no such organization. According to Prof. Arthur Macdonald in *The University*, he provides a good orchestra it will be necessary to hire a specially trained one.
Prof. Chas, S. Skilton is now working on the music. The cast will be chosen about the cost of Avril and Amélie. It will also be possible "possible," said Professor MacMurray.
Music for twelve first violins, four violas, four cellos, two double bases and wood wind and brass has been written. The only musical organization now in existence, except the band, is a strong string quartet. In primary, students taking Fine Arts are required to do a certain amount of ensemble work.
"An orchestra of some kind will have to be secured for the play," said Professor MacMurray. "Why not let that orchestra be of University Students, all ready and anxious to take part in one of the big things of the school year."
Professor Kendrie has spent a great deal of time in trying to work up enthusiasm and music at the same time. He declares to plead with the students longer but the teacher willing to give my time in training an orchestra of earnest musicians. It will be enjoyable work."
