Wabash College Music Clubs Will Pool Talents For Gay Program Here

Women’s Association of Tabernacle Church Sponsoring Concert Tomorrow; Dinner And Dance to Honor Performers.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON A cheery prospect after the nerve-shattering in- ' tricacies of ballot marking is the gay and breezy evening promised tomorrow when the Wabash College Musical Clubs pool their talents in a concert at 8:30 o'clock at the American United Life Building. The 65 young men from Crawfordsville, who earlier are to be entertained "at a dinner given by Indianapolis Wabash alumni, will be special guests at a dance following the performance. - Their appearance here is being sponsored by the Women's Association of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. Highlight of the program is to be a “battle of music” in which two well known college orchestras will vie for honors. In recognition of their unusual swing artistry the Wabash Collegians have been . engaged by Columbia University to play for dances sponsored by the university during the six-weeks summer session. The equally gifted . Ambassadors will play for summer crossings on the S. S. Normandie. Although the Glee Club has been in existence for more than « half a century this is the first year it has expanded to include other musical clubs. Twice this winter the combined groups have broadcast over national radio hookups. Prof. George B. Horton is Glee Club director and Henry C. Montgomery is director of the musical clubs. Among the Glee Club's early claims to fame were its appearances at the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876 and at the first Chicagu World's Fair in 1893. Carlton Gauld, now a Metropolitan Opera Co. : singer, was a Glee Club member from 1918 to 1921 when he was a ' Wabash student. Local Glee Club alumni include Dr. J. Jerome * Littell and his brother, George Littell, formerly of Indianapolis and now of Chicago, who were lusty singers in their college days. Prominent among present musical clubs’ members are four Indianapolis boys: Walker W. Winslow Jr., James Courtland Wagner and Carter Tharp, member of the Glee Club section, and Alvin Joslin, saxophonist. John K. Ruckelshaus will act as toastmaster at the banquet Indianapolis alumni will give at the American United Life Building preceding the concert. Short talks are to be given by Dr. Louis B. Hopkins, Wabash president; Dean George V. Kendall and Richard Banta, publicity director. Harry V. Wade, banquet chairman, is also in charge of arrangements for the dance following the performance. Tickets for the concert include admission to the dance. Assisting Mr. Wade in planning the evening's festivities are Paul R. Matthews, G. Vance Smith, Kendall Pierson, Volney M. Brown, Kurt F. Pantzer and Jean Black. Mrs. Edwin C. Read, president of the Tabernacle Woman's Association, is being assisted with arrangements for the concert by Mesdames W. W. Hampton, William Elvin, George Pyle, A. W. McDonald, Mary Cantrall and Mrs. Wade. A group of young women who will act as ushers includes Miss Naomi Tevebaugh, chairman, and the Misses Nancy Trimble, Barbara Bagger, Marion Wilcox, Janett Graham, Josephine Kingston, Marylee Porter, Jane Gillespie, Marty Tufts, Betty Freeman, Nancy Heath, Susan Clark, Dorothy Beem. Rachel Mae Diddell, Jane Wright, Jane Snyder and Margery Macabee. Among those making reservations for the concert, which will feature in addition to the Glee Club and two orchestras, two quartets, an organist and a ventriloquist are Messrs. and Mesdames Herman C. Wolff, George W. Snyder, Edwin C. Read, Gavin Bruce, Samuel Perkins. Allen Hanna, Edgar Evans, Russell T. Byers, John P. Collett, Floyd R. Fisher, Erwin C. Stout, Clarence F. Merrell, J. Perry Meek, Smiley N. Chambers and Mr. and Mrs. Clair McTurnan.

Council of Women Expected

To Rap Block Film Booking

Support of the Neely-Pettingill bill now before Congress was voted by the Indianapolis Council of Women at their meeting this morning

at Ayres auditorium.

The bill demands single moving®

picture booking, thus eliminating block booking, and provides that theater exhibitors have the right to view pictures before they buy.

The council also renewed its safety resolution which provides that members think and talk safety agd observe and practice all city, state and national laws and regulations. R. C. Hesseldenz, a member of the Association of Theater Owners of America, told the council that owners and exhibitors have nothing to say in selection of pictures, which are bought blindly.

To Describe Situation

“pictures are bought on the strength of a preview sheet,” he said. “Pictures often do not measure up to the advertising.” “Film companies tell us pictures we must buy and also the day when we must run them; moreover, they reserve the right to withhold a nummer of the better pictures listed on preview sheets.” Safety action followed a talk by Lawrence L. McCarty, Indianapolis Police Accident Prevention Bureau head. He urged each citizen to assume individual responsibility in observance of safety laws. “Ninety per cent of accidents are due to law violations,’ he said. “Most people don’t violate laws in-
