Symphony Offers Third Program In

Beethoven Series Second Symphony and Prelude

By Jarnefelts Directed by Student Leaders

Due to the stormy weather on Sunday afternoon, many music lovers were prevented from attend­ing the third of a series of delight­ful concerts prepared and super­vised by J. W. Fay. This concert marked the first appearance of the Ithaca College symphony orchestra in public.

As-in the previous concerts, Mr. Fay gave a most instructive and in­teresting lecture on _the program presented, illustrating and explain­ing his remarks with the· aid· of a piano.

It was tremendously interesting to watch the development of Bee­thoven, comparing his second sym­phony with his first, which was played .by the band at last week's concert.· As Mr. Fay explained, many of the instruments had been_ made more perfect during the time between which these two sym­phonies had been written. The greatest change was noticeable in the French horn, which with the addition of the three valves was now able to play all the notes with­in its range instead of the limited few which had formerly been at its disposal. The tympani having been introduced for the first time m the first symphony, had been only of secondary importance and use. In the second symphony, how­ever, it became of fundamental service to the orchestra, being gradually enlarged upon and much more stressed.

The four movements were per­formed in a true masterly style em­bodying all the vigor and vivacity in its rapid tempo and containing all the ease and peaceful tran­quility in its serene passages. The first movement, the allegro con ·brio, preceded by a short introduc­tion, adagio molto, was conducted by Clair Evans. This movement displayed a rather quaint but nevertheless enjoyable quartet of wind instruments which was appre­ciated for its ardent endeavors.

The second movement, the Zar~ ghetto, displayed the orchestra at its best, Henry Nelson, who con­ducted this slow and dignified movement, is, indeed, to be con­gratulated for his excellent con­ducting and ease with which he di­rected the group of players, Throughout the entire movement

-Musical Comedy a Big Success "Musical Racketeers" Given to Packed House by

Kappa Gamma and Phi Mu Groups

Whenever good fellows get to­gether to combine their talents for an evening of informal frolic, there's bound to be fun for every­body concerned. Such was the case on Tuesday evening when the members of Phi .Mu Alpha and Kappa Gamma Psi fraternities sur­rendered their class-room digni­ties in favor of a fast-moving two­act musical play, 1l1usical Racket­eers. '\V ritten, directed, arranged and presented by members of the two organizations, the show was greeted with thunderous approval by an audience which filled the Little Theatre seats, aisles and staircases in cheerful defiance of fire laws and of comfort. Mildly speaking, it was a two-hour hodge­podge of glorious entertainment, Everybody cut loose in a splurge of spontaneous comedy, backed by several corking musical arrange­ments, dances and vocal solos.

There was a plot to the piece. Not that a plot matters when there is promise of music lurking in every gangster's instrument-case, or when Mrs. Reginald Van Astor is in the wings awaiting "her" cue to send an eager audience into gales of laughter.

It seem~ that the clerk and bell­boy in "a small town hotel"· (Har­ris -Dersharri and _Edward_ Sommer, who also wrote the 'dialogue and continuity), find their routine suddenly disrupted by the appear­ance of a blustering stranger (El-· wood Schwan) who announces his intention to re-organize the hotel on a strictly high-brow basis.

Athletic Smoker And Hop Given

Student Council and the Athletic Association Sponsor Affairs

Precedent is Set Up

On Wednesday evening, April 27, the Student Council and the Athletic Association of Ithaca Col­lege sponsored a smoker and athletic hop in honor of the letter men of the various athletic teams of the College. The smoker was staged in Elocution hall and was a most entertaining evening for all those who attended. The room was crowded with men all enjoying to the fullest the fine smokes that the Athletic Association had furnished them.

The program for the evening was varied and punctuated with a lot of jolly speeches by Dr. Job, Lewis Smith, president of the Board of Trustees, Sydney Landon, Laurence Hill and Isadore Y avits. Group singing interspersed the speeches under the direction of "Hop" Hickey and Mr. Yavits. Albert Edmund Brown happened in a bit later and with the usual savoir faire that is always· with him organized the group of Phy Eds so that they sang with gusto and with good interpretation as well. Mr. Brown also sang a solo. Aft­er the group singing Elwood Schwan sang some numbers with Joseph Sheckard at the piano.

At the end of the schedule of program events- letters and certifi­cates were awarded.

At nine o'clock the whole crowd adjourned to the gymnasium where dancing was enjoyed to the spirited playing of Joseph Borelli's Bandsmen. A grand time was had by all.

more bums for customers", says the new manager. "From now on this hotel caters exclusively to the upper class!" All goes well until the gangster, Cigar Face AI Corn­pone (William Bagley), arrives with his assortment of tough boys, to compete with dangerous Dutch Schmaltz (Reginald "Cherub" Sweet) for the instrumental booty of the town's music store. Act One closes with the two rival bad-men determined to "get there first."

Act II finds Cornpone and his men breaking into the music store. Just as · they are about to walk away with an array of precious in­struments, they are confronted with the Schmaltz outfit, which has come to get its share of the spoils. There's an argument, of course, with the question arising as to who can put over the best m_usical . number. The sheriff (Leonard Whitney) arrives to set­tle the discussion by a proposal that they all "get together and play to­gether." There follows a barrage of music and comedy, ending with what threatened to be a minature triumph when the pit orchestra joined the gangsters m Philip Lang's arrangement of Business in F. The audience insisted that this number be repeated in full and the applause that met the brilliant solo work of Bob . Alexy's trumpet and Stewan McKay's sax, was some­thing the walls of the Little Thea­tre have not heard in years.

A~NOU:KCEMENT

Tlie It/iaca Journal-News and the New York Times have an­nounced the departure of \Vest­minster Choir School on the first of September next. The school is to become affiliated with the Princeton Theological Seminary where "academic reciprocity" has . been under consideration. The exodus is made because of the unusual cultural advan­tages that are to be offered by the University and the town in which it is situated. There will be no academic or financial re­sponsibility to tlie school on the part of the· Seminary or on the part of the University. The Bachelor of Music degree will be given under a special char­ter to the Choir school.

Sings Over Rochester Station Directed by Joseph Lautner; Members Hear "Lucia"

On :\fonday afternoon, April 25, the Ithaca Coliege Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Jos­eph Lautner, left for Rochester to present a program over Radio S'ta­tion \VHAl\1. The program, broadcast from the studios in Hotel Sagamore, at four-fifteen, included the following numbers: Xo"<{' is the Jl1011tlz of Jllasirzg, :\lorley; lVeep, 0 Jl/ine EJ•es, \ Villbye; T lze Snow, Elgar; and To Ag11i, Holst. Rosalie Olmstead was the accompanist for the glee club and Dorothv \Vood and Grace -VanZant pl;yed the violin obligate for the Elgar selection. Se\:eral members of the club stay­ed in Rochester in order to see the opera "Lucia de Lammermoor"

of the opera take~ place in Scot­land near the close of the sixteenth centurv.

which the :Metropolitan Opera .._ ____________ _.. Company was presenting in that

Act· I of "Lucia de Lammer­moor" opens in a wood near Lam­mermoar and we find Lord Enrico A.shton troubled over the strange visitant found lurking about Lam­mermoor, troubled over his m\·n fate, and troubled over his sister Lucia, \\·ho has been behaving cur­iously since her mother's death, and "·ho has formed the habit of going daily to visit her grave. Luc­ia has been meeting this stra_nger and a man is met near the ruined tower "pale and mute, with aspect daring", who proves to be Edgar­do: Lucia, pale and distraught, is seen waiting for: Edgardo. In the meantime she tells her maid, Al­isa, in Regna'iJa 11el silenzio (Si­lozce O'er ,-1 ll) that she has been \\·arned by an apparition of a mur­dered· \\"Oman to be aware of her present lover. There is probably more wistfulness than fear in thi~ pathetic melody, which clearly fore­shacfows the mood of Lucia's tragic ''::\lad Scene" at the end. In the second part of the aria, she turns to happy things and in "Quando rapisa in estasi" (Swift as Thought)' she chants the ecstasv of love. This number is bright ;nd joyous as any­one might wish. Edgardo arrives. The proposal and then seeming im­possibility of their plans for mar­riage lead to the lovely Verra,zo a te sull' auro ( Borne on the Singing Breeze).

Honey in Tubes

People "·ill now be able to squeeze honey out on bread just as they squeeze toothpaste on a brush and avoid the usual stickiness and waste when honey is served from a jar or can. Honey in tube pack­ages is now on the market, reports the United States Department of Agriculture. The tubes vary m size from the small one-ounce size to those holding a half pound of honey. Just the quantity wanted can be squeezed out at a time. This method of packaging honey has been used to some extent in Ger­many, the bureau says. Another new development in the distribu­tion of honey is its use in candy bars, combined with chocolate, nuts and other ingredients.

General George vVashington, simply attired m s i I v e r-gray breeches and flowing coat, white cotton stockings and buckled shoes and a black three-cornered hat, landed from a barge on ~Ianhat­tan Island last Saturday and, un­der a shower of ticker tape, moved through the ceremonies ,vhich made him the first President of the United States 143 years ago.

The executive board of the '\Vo­men's Self-Governing Association \\·ishes to announce at this time the names of the newlv elected offi­cers of the board for· the year 1932-33. This election was very closely contested \Yhich clearly pointed out the fact that the nominees were considered verv efficient and ca­pable by the {\·omen of the col­lege. The officers are as follcws: President - Jane fa\·ing; First Vice-President-Dorothv \Vood; Second Vice-President~Dorothv Garber; Secretary-::\1arguerite Baker; Treasurer-lfolly Smith; Census Chairman - \\"iuifred Barnes.

Among the Seniors who wi:I be \·acating their positions are .Alice Hulbert, president of the executive board, Dorothy Loesges, first vice­president, and lJarie Forsberg, president of the Outside Girls' Or­ganization. Others leaving a-re Oh,·yn Xeff, census chairman, and Priscilla Hall, freshman represen­tative. The college regrets losing these women who have so lornllv \\·orked for the school and ha~·e so willingly gi,·en their time to aid in carrying out the plans of the execu­tive board.

At the time of the election of board members there was also the election of officers of the Outside Girls' Organization. The follow­ing were elected: President-Ver­na ::Uoore; Vice-President-Hilda Bo\\·man; Secretary-Betty Sand­ers, Treasurer-Betty Dodge.

)lade Possible by Ite-,ader's .\rt; l'rcYious Presentation

In the person of Bob _ de Lany, '30, Ithaca College has an alumnus of ,\·horn it may· well be proud. This fact ,\·as particularly ap parent on the occasion of l\ir. de Lanr's recent appearance in the Little Theatre "·hen he read for a large and enthusiastic audience of students and townspeople, Don :'.\Iarquis' poignant drama, The Old Soak. :\fr. deLany has pre­sented the reading a number of times before, but it continues to be a jov to hear and becomes more polished with each performance.

The play makes an ideal reading because it contains pathos, and sen­timent and humor as well as ver­acity of character portrayal. It abounds in interesting people, chief among \\·horn 1s Clem Hawley, the old soak, but he does not over­shadow the other characters in­cluding :'.\Jatilda Hawley, Lucy Hawley, Clemmie Hawley, Cous­'in \Vebster Parsons, the ski11-flint banker, Nellie, the hired girl, "Al", the bootlegger, Tom Ogden, Lucy's lover, Ina Heath, the gold­digger, and last but not least, Pe­ter, the parrot, not Peter really, but onh- a clever deceiver.

The · plot deals with the efforts of the tight-fisted and crooked banker to get hold of some valu­able stock that is in l\1rs. Hawley's possession. He does so by forcing young Hawley to take the stock and sell it to him. Young Hawley has gotten into financial difficul­ties and uses the money that he gets in a vain attempt to save him­self. He fails and the suspicion for the whole debacle falls on the kindly, but good for nothing old soak. He protects his son and manipulates the banker so that monev 1s retrie\·ed for the full ,·aluc· of the stock. He has always promised to come home with an armful of hundred dollar bills and he does.

It \\"ould be ·useless to attempt an evaluation of l\lr. de Lany's technique of reading. It follows ,·err closely that used by Rollo Anson Tallcott .with v,,·hich most Ithaca College students are fa miliar. Suffice it to sav that Mr. de Lanv creates the ·illusion of each chdracter that he seeks to pie ture. One of the things one carries away from the performance is the unforgettable Nellie when she says, "l\fr. Hawley, Al's here,"

Not only should-new develop­ments, new processes, and varied applications form a part of every vocational program,. but every student should be grounded in all forms of language expression, in drawing, and in the history of art.

Once upon a ti~e the teacher, along with the missionary and the ·artist starving-in-a-garret, was classified automati­cally as a poverty-stricken creature unworthy·of inuch atten­tion from the luxury trades. Today he and his students are rapidly becoming a mainstay of the tourist and hotel indus­tries. In summer, teachers and· students form perhaps our largest leisure class primarily interested 'in travel. Last year when the great liners were carrying their first-class state­rooms tenantless across the ocean, "tourist-third", crammed with school-ma'ams and collegians kept them financially afloat. This year, inspired by that example, an airline·'is an­nouncing "student cruises by air" to some thirty countries and colonies of the Americas south of the Rio Grands at forty per cent reduction from the regular fares. European railways and tours are offering pedagogues and pupils special rates which, in many cases, are the lowest within memory.

This has all come about due to the initiative shown by teachers and students. Remarking this novel challenge to in­dividual initiative, MEYER ·BLOOMFIELD, Professor of Voca­tional Guidance at the COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW y ORK, recently stressed the fact that desirable qualities are more 1ikely to advance one than mere technical skill. "It may yet be found," he said, "that the road to a successful choice of lifo work is easier when training in ability to get along with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations is made the central note of every educational process, however narrow the voca­tional objectives."

MUSICAL RACKETEERS

T HE hustle and bustle about school, the secrecy and muffled tones in THE ITHACAN office, and the amazing efforts on

the part of t_he ticket salesmen, all led to the production of the MUSICAL RACKETEERS which was presented in LITTLE THEA­TRE last Tuesday evenirig before a full house-which further proves that ITHACA COLLEGE needs a larger auditorium. This duo-fraternity presentation· was the result of the combined efforts of these musicians as to originality and talent and made not a few onlookers wonder at the ability displayed throughout. The MUSICAL RACKETEERS was something new for the LITTLE THEATRE stage - different indeed from the usual presentations given there, but it is to be none the less commended upon. The novelty of it alone would be a stamp of approval but considering the show itself, it was blue ribbon production bringing credit to PHI Mu ALPHA and KAI,'PA GAMMA PsI along with a desire for further presentations of its kind. '

Carbon, in its normal state one of the blackest substances, has been known since the fifteenth century to possess peculiar properties of purification. Earlier users, how­ever, knew only of the charcoal form of carbon, made from wood, the most common form, and bone. Bone-black still maintains a posi­tion as the key material in the re­fining of raw sugar. In recent years, says Popular 111 cc/zanies Magazine, materials have been dis­covered, known as "activated" car­bons, made from vegetable substan­ces and twenty to fifty times more po\\·erful than the charcoals previ, ously knO\rn. The activated car­bons arc made by charring vege­table matter and then removing all hydrocarbons deposited by the pro­cess. It is the hvdrocarbons that previously limited the activity of the carbon as a purifier. One of the

FRAT·ERNITY NOTICES Phi Mu Alpha

Walter Voros

Congratulations to two more of our brothers. The lucky· men this time are Joe Borelli and George

, Pritchard, 'who have received posi­: tions as musi~ supervisors in advancement for them. Joe has schools that show great promises of been placed at Reading High-

! school, Penn., and George at Sag Harbor. It is most gratifying to : the fraternity to know that al­ready .six Qf its members. have re­ceived positions for next year at so early;.a, date.

Ah:]J9ugh, t~e spring formal dance is almost one month off, a great many of the bpys ~ave not thought it yet too early. to secure dates for this gala event. Since the dance , will be a part; of the alumni reun­i ion, it:t of(ei:s even still further ! promises of being the best time lever.

I If one were to daily watch the

,sidewalks of good old Buffalo Street, one would undoubtedly see the tired· forms cif some of our worthy pledges. trudging patiently up the steep grade to Phi Mu Al­pha. It's a weary road, hey pledges? , Before the school term has expired, I -· 6.ve of these piedges shall be f~ll-nedged members of Phi Mu Al­pha, ready to step into those places left vacant by our many graduat­. iµg seniors. Among the neophytes are James Boyd, Clair Evans, Henry Nelson, William Schnell, :ind George Van Kurin.

Is there anyone, I wonder, who ever arrives at the point of being

• completely caught up, nothing to , ~o and can rel~ without feeling that "I sho~d be doing this term p,aper OJ tha~ term paper, or get those letters written"? I would iike to m_eet that person and ask him or her to describe the feeling. It certainly is a scarcity, and of late I would say that the Phi Delts are being hard hit.

About two weeks ago, several of our members left to attend the National Physical Education Con­vention in Philadelphia. Follow­ing that there was a conventjon of ~he ~astern chapte:rs of Phi Delta fi. About ten Theta's were pres­ent and brought back very inter­esting reports of all the business meetings which they attended. We received some very helpful infor­mation, and scime fine statements of the work Phi Delta Pi is doing in physical education circles. These conventions make one realize the influence of a fraternity and the vast amount of good which can be accomplished in education by these national organizations.

Hardly back from the conven­tion, we find we ,vere faced with the Athletic Hop, the Phi Epsilon Kappa dinner and dance, the Delta Psi Kappa bridge party, and the Musical Racketeers. At each of these entertainments the Phi Delts present had a-very good time and wish to congratulate the organizations which fostered their presentations.

We have also had many visitors.

Betty Kaus spent last week-end with us; Jane Smith dropped in to say "howdy". She is all excited about the parents' day program she is arranging for the the parents in Canisteo. Betty Davidson, a for­mer Gradd President, was here for the week-end to attend the Phi E.K. dance, Mim Champlin was here for the same reason.

And now congratulations seem to be in order; first to Martha, who recently announced her engagement to Chuck Meade.· Should we say, may aJ_I your troubles be little ones? Next, to Belle States, who has signed on the dotted line. Well, Belle, the best wishes for success go_ with you. to Welles~ille from every Phi Delt. And now Jane, who has been elected as president of W.S.G.A. We know that you will satisfy.

Maybe now, dear readers, you can understand why the Phi Delts are wondering if there is such a thing as "Time on my hands".

Jim ~-lackey has been ,rnrking at third base and will probably start there against the Larries·at Canton Tues­dav. The outfield. is Coach Frec­min's chief worry.

SYMPHONY OFFERS THIRD PROGRAM IN

BEETHOVEN SERIES ( Continued from page one)

the audience was greatly enthused at the charm of this delightful se­lection. Particularly noticeable was the strict adherence given to the dynamics which brought about an unusual and sympathetic tone color unknown to this orchestra before.

In the brisk movement of the srhcrzo. conducted .by Paul :Mac­kel, a ne,\· form of the minuet was introduced into the symphony. l\fr. Fay explained that this idea had been contemplated by previous and contemporary composers but had not been brought about until Bee­thoveri himself consummated the change.· The fourth and last move­ment to this symphony was well di­rected by Victor Salvo.

'For the final number on the pro­gram, Sebastian Alig directed the Preludium by Jarnefelts. This number was an interesting and fit­ting clima.'X to the program.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB HAS RADIO DEBUT

FROM _ ROCHESTER (Continued from page one)

Act III is presented in two scenes, ·the first taking place in a room in Ravenswood Castle. Lord Enrico Ashton and Edgardo decide to banish their enmity by a fight to the death when morning arrives. Among the people in the castle silence suddenly reigns when they hear that Lucia has gone insane and stands in her chamber with a bloody sword over the body of her husband. Lucia herself appears, happy indeed in her madness as she believes herself ,vith her lover. Then comes the famous "Mad Scene". Heard apart from the opera, this number seems hardly more than an unsually brilliant coloratura aria. But in its proper setting, carolled out by the dement­ed Lucia amid the startled retain­ers, it takes on an ironic character quite its own. The scales seem what they are, the audible wanderings of a mind distraught. The very hap­piness of the music adds only to its grim pathos. Lucia, in this strain, re-enacts the· wedding-scene of the day before and then falls insensible as the curtain descends on the first scene.

In the final scene, Edgardo, waiting for Enrico, learns that he has left Scotland, and likewise learns of the death of Lucia. In a learns of the death of Lucia. In Tu clze a Dio spiegasti l'ali (Thou Hast Spread Thy Wings to Heav­en) a melody of wonderful pathos, which deepens as it proceeds, Ed­gardo hopes his soul may soon join that of his beloved. He draws a dagger and, in spite of efforts of Raimondo, stabs himself, and so speeds forth his soul -to that etern­itv from whence becko~s his be­la"ved Lucia.

MUSICAL COMEDY HAS BIG SUCCESS

TUESDAY EVENING (Continued from page one)

it would be equally presumptuous to expect perfection in a show of this sort. The audience expected a performance of good-natured in­formality, given by a group of stu­dents who can devote but little of their time to unscheduled affairs. Tuesday's audience was not dis­appointed. What if the Sheriff's deputies did forget to make their entrance? \Vhat if little Penelope Van Astor ( Kenneth Weber) did mix her verses in her solo? It was all in fun and no one cared what happened, as long as the show mov­ed along in its peppy course.

Sonny Dersham and Ed. Som­mer carried the comedy with a nonchalance that was thoroughly satisfying. They were responsible for many clever scenes, including some bits of inspired hokum that fitted nicely into the general scheme. Charles Beachler, resplen­dent in an Admirel's uniform, did a nice bit as the messenger boy. As

ANNOUNCE MARRIAGE · OF FORMER DRAMA STUDENT OF COLLEGE
