Direction and Talent Join

In Making Tech Play a Hit

By HENRY BUTLER ' Sometimes these local high school, shows make an outsider wish he'd been born a Hoosier. : Anyway, a show as good as Tech-| nical high school's production of |

Victor Herbert's “M’lle. Modiste,” |

which opened last night at the

Murat, makes you remember your |

own high school days. High school shows are better than they used to be. And Tech, which is a university by comparison with the high school I attended, is fortunate in having

~ excellent direction and a lot of

good talent, “Mlle. Modiste” is thé work of the Tech choir, directed by J. Russell Paxton, And the list of Tech students and faculty members who assisted in the production would fill a couple of columns. I only wish we could name everybody who had a hand in the show, for it’s a fine job of co-operation, Voices Are True And I hope there'll be a bigger, audience for the closing perform=ance tonight than there was last night. A lot of people ought to see that show, if only to get a standard |} of comparison with some of the professional musical shows we've heard this season. None of the young soloists has] what you'd call a big voice, but they |g all sing true, and the ensemble] singing is highly pleasing. One of the heart-warming things

Plot Not Important

Barbara Steveiis last night sang the role of Fifi, which, according

to the program, will be sung to- |

night by Henrietta Clayton. With

a lot of poise, Miss Stevens has a|

pleasing voice and an accurate sense of pitch. A singer needs both, plus range] to negotiate “Kiss Me Again,” pos-| sibly the most typical Herbert song’ and the one around which the) whole show revolves. The plot, in which Hiram Bent,
