Tap and Harmonica Artists
To Entertain November 16
Different in the way of entertainment is the combination
of Draper and Adler, presenting a varied tap dance and har
monica program, who will open the University’s Greater Art
ist concert series Monday night, November 16, in McArthur
court.
Reserved seat tickets priced at $1.85, $1.50, $1.25 and gen
eral admission tickets for 85
cents, are on sale at the educa
tional activities office in McAr
thur court, Richard C. Williams,
educational activities manager,
announced Thursday.
This season marks the first
transcontinental tour of the two
artists who are appearing in their
fnd season together.
Exceptional Ability
The young Americans, both in
their early thirties, are equally
noted for their exceptional abil
ity in their respective fields—
Paul Draper, as the tap dancer
who combines the classical ballet
with his own dancing interpre
tation, and Larry Adler, whose
tones on the harmonica are noted
to be as varied as those of a sym
phony orchestra.
STUDENTS
AND
GRADS
After dancing to the

music of Tommy Dorsey
and his famous band,
drive out and try one of
the delicious barbecued
sandwiches with French
fries that Bev is famous
for.

Of the two, Paul Draper prob
ably has had the most exciting
life; for he didn’t find his niche
in the world until after being ex
pelled from two private schools,
running away from a third, em
barking on a career of his own
as a ditch-digger, shipping as a
sailor to South America and re
covered by his family and sent
for a semester to the Brooklyn
Polytechnic institute.
Went to London
Disliking mathematical root
equasions he went to London
where he landed a job doing com
edy dancing; but finally he went
broke and returned to his family
once more, promising to settle
down in his uncle’s Wall street
brokerage house.
Fortunately for the world of
dance, Draper didn’t settle, for
he was soon off again doing
vaudeville circuits, and from
there to cafe society, until he
finally emerged as a finished art
ist.
In contrast to his partner, Lar
ry Adler always knew where he
wanted to go. He wasn’t more
than eight when he had his moth
er enter him at the Peabody Con
servatory of Music. There, ac
cording to Mr. Adler’s descrip
tion, “a large, bosomy woman
with a mean face” told him he
had no musical sense and never
would be a pianist.
Not Discouraged
That didn’t discourage him, for
he went out and bought a har
monica and’ learned to play the
instrument so well that he won
first prize in a contest for young
harmonica players, which was
sponsored by a Baltimore news
paper.
After holding various jobs in
New York, he was engaged as a
part of Rudy Vallee’s floor show,
played in vaudeville, and finally
won fame when he was signed to
play in London, played before sev
eral kings, and toured many
countries.
AYliat cheers are to the players . . . chrysanthemums
are to your girl! Before you call for her on the day
of the game stop in and select her favorite “mum.”
We’ll make it up into a corsage, set off by autumn
foliage and tied with the colors of your favorite
team. Russet, gold and bronze color chrysanthe
mums in pom-pon and giant size. They cost so
little, too!

Library Shows
New Collection
Books just added to the library
from the collection of the late
Miss Ethel R. Sawyer, brows
ing-room librarian, will be on
display for the first time in the
browsing room, from 9 to 12
a.m. Saturday, and from 2 to G
p.m. Sunday.
According to Willis Warren, li
brarian, the collection contains
books of wide variety from drama
to books on education. Children’s
books, history, and a few classics
are among the other subjects
represented.
Miss Sawyer was librarian
since the browsing room was first
opened in the fall of 1937. The
books were selected by her close
friend, Miss L. Elizabeth Hansen,
after Miss Sawyer's death.
“These books are an excellent
addition to the present collec
tion,” commented Mr. Warren.
“They indicate the wide scope of
interest of Miss Sawyer. I'm cer
tain that there could not be a
more fitting token of Miss Saw
yer’s memory.”
Miss Dorothy C. Hanson, stu
dent in the school of architecture
and allied arts, will christen one
of the vessels to be launched at
the Northwestern Shipbuilding
company’s yards in Bellingham,
Miss Hanson is the daughter of
Mr. H. C. Hanson, who prepared
the plans and specifications for
these ships.
The vessels to be launched are
wooden passenger and freight
motorships of the Alaska type.
They will be used for army trans
port service. These ships will be
the first carriers sent down the
ways from the Northwestern
yard. The ships to be launched
have pre-installed engines and
are ready for service.

Friday ’Watch’
Deals in Murder
Although “Watch on the
Rhine opens on Friday the 13th
it will not be a Black Friday su
perstition day, Keith Hoppes,
business manager of the Univer
sity theater, said. The show will
open as usual. However, he con
tinued, students are encouraged
to “come as you are”—formal,
informal, or barn dance—for the
opening, because of the number
of house dances the same night.
In tune with the occasion the
play deals in murder, villains, and
Nazis before our entrance into
the war, Hoppes explained, and
there will be strong comedy re
lief.
Horace Robinson, assistant
professor of drama, designed the
stage setting, which was unin
tentially shaped into a V for vic
tory.
Members of the Guild Theater
players in the cast are Dan Wess
ler, freshman, making his first
appearance as the villain; Bobbie
Joe Quigby, the 12-year-old who
played in “Georg'e Washington
Slept Here”; Bob Farrcw, the
hero; Louise Rossman, the dowa
ger mother; Margery Quigby,
Vivian McNamee, Kay Dougherty
Richards, Jim Bronson, Pres
Phipps, Gordon Cochran, and
Maxine McNiel.
