"The Holy City” Impresses Critic as Able Presentation Capable direction, a well-bal anced and powerful chorus, stu dent soloists of unusual ability, and satisfactory organ accompan iment contributed to the success of “The Holy City,” the sacred cantata presented by the second division of the University Poly phonic choir at the music auditor ium Sunday afternoon. It was Hoy Bryson’s first ap pearance as a choral director, al though he has sung solo parts in many an oratorio, but he directed with the ease and confidence of a veteran, and the 3 40-voice choir responded with unanimity, sound harmony, and effective shading. It would be straining a point to say that the four soloists were on a par artistically, but each of them displayed a good basic vocal en dowment, that showed the effects of skillful coaching. They are all pupils of Arthur Boardman. lone Anderson, soprano soloist, had a clear voice with a lyrical quality, which she adapted smooth ly to the arias of the cantata. Rose Simons, contralto, show a rich, subdued voice and a healthy range of tone, which reached up into the mezzo-soprano field. Kenneth Roduner, tenor, made a fine impression by adding an air of confidence to his naturally good voice. He went through his solo parts with precision and skillful feeling. Ralph Coie, the baritone soloist, surprised the audience with a depth and power of voice of which he never lost control. He was particularly effective in the air, “I Saw a New Heaven and a New Earth.” Winifred Tyson, freshman organ ist, did fairly well with the rather thin and superficial prelude and intermezzo, which Alfred Gaul wrote into the cantata. Doris Helen Patterson, harpist, added a graceful touch to the closing part of the work. The large mixed chorus showed a quality of training in part work, that did credit to their conductor. The really fine quality of the chor al singing became most apparent when the organ accompaniment dropped out for two a cappella choruses, “For God so Loved the World” and “The Fining Pot Is for Silver.” These two, together with two others scored for wom en’s voices alone, showed a deli cacy of subdued and fluent ex pression with a good basic har mony that was almost flawless. The power and depth that Bry son could summon from the sing ers on demand was shown in the “Thine Is the Kingdom” chorus and in the difficidt and sustained finale, "Great and Marvelous Are Thy Works, Lord God.” The voices of the four soloists blended very nicely in one passage for quartet and in two duets, one for soprano and contralto, and the other for soprano and baritone. One of the best Sunday after noon crowds of the year attended the concert.. Wright Honored Guest Tonight at League Banquet More Than 150 Expected To Attend; Architect’s Exhibit Plans The Allied Arts league wUl give a banquet at the new men's dormi tory tonight at 6 p. m. in honor of Frank Lloyd Wright, who spoke on “Twentieth Century Architecture” on the campus last Saturday eve ning. More than ISO guests are expect ed at the banquet, at which the University orchestra, under the direction of Rex Underwood, will play. Varied entertainment will follow, with Murlin Drury, fifth year art student, will act as master of ceremonies. The little gallery of the school of architecture, housing the exhibit of drawings and models of Wright’s work, was crowded during the greater part of yesterday, accord ing to word from Glen Gardiner, president of the Allied Arts league, which is sponsoring Wright’s visit to the campus. The exhibit includes everything from abstract designs and color patterns to plans for skyscrapers, desert hotels, and beer gardens (to be erected in Germany and Holland.) Three-dimensional models of the service station pictured in Thurs day’s Emerald, and of a million aire’s desert mansion, as well as of a skyscraper apartment house to be built in New York, are features of the exhibit. Honored guests at the Allied Arts league banquet will be: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lloyd Wright, Hunt Bosworth, Cornell universi ty; Roy C. Jones, University of Minnesota; Dr. and Mrs. Arnold Bennett Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Burt Brown Barker, Dean and Mrs. El lis F. Lawrence, Dean anti Mrs. George Rebec, Dean and Mrs. Karl Onthank, Mr. and Mrs. George Godfrey, and Mrs. P. L.. Campbell. How about some loyaltv to"Deai*Old Self”?

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY “Uneoda Bakers" SHREDDED WITH ALL THE BRAN OF THE WHOLE WHEAT 1 Orchestra, Piano Soloist Received Enthusiastically Aurora Potter Underwood And Student Artists Please Crowd By JACK BAUER With a brilliant performance of popular symphonic music, the Uni versity orchestra, under the baton of Rex Underwood, last night played before a large and enthusi astic audience. It was also a night of individual honors, for Aurora Potter Underwood, piano soloist, and for members of the orchestra. In the adagietto “L’Arlesienne,” Bizet’s incidental music for a French drama long since forgot ten, John Finley played the solemn solo written for the E flat saxo phone. The melody of the solo was repeated in the lovely swirl ing minuetto. The fourth move ment was the carrilon, an imita tion of the bells of evening wor ship pealing out above the strains of a meditation. Syncopated Melody Opens The intermezzo, No. II, from Wolf-Ferrari’s "Jewels of the Ma donna,” opened with a syncopated melody played by Victor Bryant, solo flutist, against a background of plucked strings. The music fairly glistened in the orchestral setting played by the University group. The Saint-Saens "Danse Mac abre” was realistically portrayed, even to the point of being eerie. The harp opened, as the midnight stroke of 12 sounded across the graveyard from the village church. Throughout the piece, which de picts the dance of an exhumed skeleton in the silvery moonlight, the waltz music was played by Howard Halbert, first violin solo ist. The peculiar arrangement of tune and instrument sent chills down the back. With the rattle of bones and the dying sigh of the night wind, the skeleton jumped back into his yawning grave, and his dance was ended. Plays With Brilliance Playing with great brilliance and strength, Aurora Potter Under wood gave a sustained interpreta tion of Liszt’s "Hungarian Fanta sie” that brought a tremendous ovation from the house at the close of the number. Even the drummer, Martin Geary, had a solo in the evening’s work, for the Liszt Fantasie opens with a solo on the tympani. The work is an intricate interweaving of wild Gypsy airs and old Hun garian melodies. There are mar shal passages, striking cadenzas, soft, silken motifs of tenderness. With flashes of superb technical skill and high grace, Mrs. Under wood contrasted the deep moods of Magyar emotionalism and the frivolous, lightly tripping Gypsy dances. Through the trills and rippling runs of Mrs. Underwood on the pianoforte, Vernon Wis carson wove shrill solo patterns on the oboe, and the brass rose and fell in crashing crescendoes. Infirmary Is Filled to Capacity Over Week-End “Last week-end was one of the busiest ones for the infirmary so far this term,” said Helen Flem ing, infirmary nurse, yesterday. "Over Saturday and Sunday every bed was occupied.” Although the infirmary has been filled to capac ity several times this term, this s the first week-end that such a con dition has prevailed. On Monday, however, a general evacuation began, and at the pres ent time there are only seven pa tients confined to the care of the University health service. No ser ious cases prevail, and colds and sore throats are the predominant causes of confinement. Those registered at the infirm ary at the present time are: Ruth Rracher, Helen Voelker, Tom Fo ley, Glenn Kimberling, Robert Brown, and Wendell Smith. 1'iiivcrsiiy Alumni Begins Campaign for Members Portland alumni of this Univer sity are planning a campaign luncheon for next Thursday, March 12, to be held at the Old Heath man hotel, in Portland. This campaign is a drive for in creased membership in the alumni association, and is being handled by Peggy Boyer, circulation mana ger of Old Oregon, alumni publi cation. Lamar Tooze, president of the local Portland alumni association, and Homer Angell, president of the alumni association of the Univer sity of Oregon, have invited an alumna member of every sorority on the Oregon campus to come to the luncheon and discuss plans for the campaign. Names of the rep resentatives and completed plans will be announced later, Miss Boyer stated. WHAT SHOW TONIGHT ? 1 Colonial— R o n a 1 d Colman in "Devil To Pay.” Heilig — "Ladies of Leisure,” with Lowell Sherman. McDonald — Ann Harding in "East Lynne.” State—"Red Hot Rhythm” and "Soups to Nuts.” Ann Harding in “East Lynne” We thought the old days of tor pid “mellerdrammer” were gone forever from the theatre—that is until we saw Ann Harding revive "East Lynne,” stellar play of that type. It is magnificently well done, and the old sob scenes brought out an incredible number of handkerchiefs. As an added feature, the theatre Sunday gave away more than five hundred handkerchiefs put out by the pro ductions publicity staff. The story deals with a girl whose friendship for a friend is misinterpreted by her husband, causing her to become a social outcast. Clive Brook and Cohrad Nagel support Miss Harding. Tuesday is the final day of its McDonald run. * * * Ronald G'olman In English Comedy Playing in a pleasant comedy, reminiscent of the gay humor of P. G.

Cabarets, penthouses, artists’ stu dios, yachts, and roaring Broad way serve as the colorful back ground. In the leading roles are Barbara Stanwyck, Lowell Sherman, and Ralph Graves. Marie Prevost, Nancy O’Neill, George Fawcett, and Johnny Walker are also in cluded in the stellar roster. STUDENTS SUSPENDED FOR MISCONDUCT HERE (Continued from Tape One) because of objectionable entertain ment for which it did not appear that he was directly responsible but which was held in the place of residence for which he was respon sible, no effort being made on his part either to curb the matter or to change residence failing this. A student was placed on pro bation and required to earn seven additional hours for graduation for participating in objectionable en tertainment at his rooms outside his living organization. A student was required to pay a substantial monetary fine to the library and to earn two additional hours for graduation for signing a fictitious name for a reserve book and keeping it out over one day contrary to library rules and to the unfair disadvantage of othei students needing the same book. —KARL W. ONTHANK, Chairman of the committee. April 11 Frosh Glee Date; Motif Chosen Robbins Named Assistant To Chairman Reames The date for the Frosh Glee, an nual dance of the freshman class, has been definitely set for April 11, according to Ed Reames, chair man of the dance, which will be held in the Igloo this year. The glee was to have been held this term but was postponed, as its first date conflicted with other activi ties. Walter Robbins, freshman in business administration, has been appointed by Reames to act as as sistant chairman for the dance. The position of secretary will be taken by Helen Binford, freshman in social science. Both Robbins and Miss Binford are working with the chairman in making prelim inary preparations. Committee ap pointments are under way and will be announced in tomorrow’s Emer ald. The decorations for the dance will carry out a spring motif, Reames announced. directors selected FOR JUNIOR EVENT (Continued from Pape One) of the general directorate will be made as the lists are completed, probably not before the first few issues of the Emerald next term are published.

After Your Shopping An afternoon’s tour of the downtown shops opens up that “empty spot’’ good and proper. Next time it hap pens to you . . . remember SEYMOUR’S. Seymour’s Cafe ^Why we spend $3,000,000 to put Camel cigarettes in the new HlJMIDOR Pack ♦ TT E have been In the tobaeeo business a long time down here at Winston-Salem and we take a lot of pride in the quality of the cigarettes we make. While we have spent a good many million dollars advertising Camels, we’ve always held to the old fashioned idea that the thing that really counts is what we put into our cigarette and not what we say about it. If we know anything about tobacco, and we think we do, Camels contain the choicest Turk ish and the mellowest, ripest domestic leaves that money can buy. In fact we have every reason to be proud of the quality of Camels as they come from the factory, but the remark of an old friend of ours from Denver some time ago emphasized a point that has been the problem of the eigarette industry for years. As he inhaled the smoke from a Camel we gave him in our offices one morning, he sighed with very evident enjoyment and then asked jokingly, “What is this, a special blend re served for Camel executives?” “Certainly not,” we told him. “This package of Camels was bought at the corner store this morning.” “Well,” he said, “I’ve been a dyed in the wool Camel smoker for a good many years, but upon my soul 1 never got a cigarette as good as this in Denver. If you would give the rest of the world the kind of Camels you sell here in Winston Salem, you ought to have all the cigarette busi ness there is.” Til AT statement simply em phasized again the cigarette industry’s most important problem. The more we thought about it, the surer we were that he was dead right, ami that somehow, something must he done. Denver Hasn't getting a fair break. Neither in faet was any other town. The only peo ple who really knew how good Camels could be,were the folks right here in Wins ton-Salem. That was due to a factor no cigarette manufacturer had ever been able to control. Naturally there is no differ ence whatever in the quality V • SMOKE A FRESH CIGARETTE We tried many things. We asked the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory to help us. After many experiments and humidity tests covering all methods of packing cigarettes came the detailed report of which this is the net: (A) Ao existing cigarette pack age, including those wrapped in glassine paper or ordinary cellophane,gives anything like adequate protectiou against evaporation. (B) All cigarettes so packed tend to dry out rapidly from the day they are released from the factory. (C) Only a icaterproof mate rial ii'ith a specially devised of the tobacco in Camels, -whether you buy them in Winston-Salem, Denver or Timbuc too. But up to now there has been a very real difference in the condition of the cigarettes by the time they reached the smoker. The flavor and mildness of fine tobacco depend upon the retention of its natural, not added, moisture content which is prime at about ten per cent. In spite of our great pains always to make sure Camels left the factory with just the right amount of natural moisture, no cigarette pack age had ever yet been designed that could pre vent that precious moisture from drying out. TlIliRE are three things about a cigarette that can sting the longue and unkindly burn the throat. (I) Cheap tobaccos. (56) I*articles of peppery dust left in the tobueeo because of inefficient clean ing methods. (51) A parched dry condition of the, to bacco due to loss of natural moisture by overheating or evaporation. Always certain of the quality of our tobaccos we had already made Camel a “dustless” cig arette by the use of a specially designed vacuum cleaning apparatus exclusive with our factory. Now, if we could perfect a package that would actually act as a humidor and retain the natu ral moisture content, then Yuma, Arizona, could enjoy Camels as much as we do here at Winston-Salem. We knew what we wanted. air-tight seal could give the desired protection. (D) This measure, while costly, could be relied on to keep Camels in prime condition for at least three months in any climate. If you have a technical bent, the graph below made by the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory will show you the exact results of their ex haustive study. Unwrappfd Package Glassine Wrapped Package Regular Cellophane Wrapped Package Camel Humidor fttck Moisture proof Cello phane—Sealed Air Tight •> DAYS _ Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory chart above graphically si ions you that only the Camel Humidor Tack delivers cigarettes'ho you in prime condition Xou may be sure we gave this report a lot of careful study. We checked it and re-checked it and then we went ahead. We tried this device and that. At last we met success. The air-tight wrapping involved the designing of special processes, special machines. That costs a lot of money, more than $2,000, 000 tiie first year, but after you have tried Camels packed this modern new way we are sure you will agree it is a fine investment. For some time now every Camel that has left our factory has gone out in this new Humidor Pack. We have said nothing about it until now, to make sure your dealer would be able to supply you when the good news came out. Camel smokers of course have already dis covered that their favorite cigarette is better and milder now than ever before. If you aren't a Camel smoker, try them just to see what a difference there really is between harsh, dried out tobacco and a properly con ditioned cigarette. You can feel the difference, you can hear the difference and you certainly can taste the dif ference. Of course we’re prejudiced. We always have believed that Camel is the world's best cigarette. IS on ice know it. Just treat yourself to Camels in the new Humidor Pack and see if you don't agree. 4 it. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY ft inston-Salem, X. C. >
