Sunday Jive Program Set (Continued from Page one) Boyd Raeburn’s popular mid-wes tern orchestra. One of Thomas’ own compositions, “G. I. Jive” will be introduced. Bounce Debuts Other tunes to be included are “Embraceable You,” “Moon Glow,” and “Confessin’.” Bailey has composed a hop tune entitled “Bivouac Bounce.” It will be giv en its formal debut at Sunday’s concert. The inspiration for this number was garnered from one of Bailey's experiences on an overnight hike. This should prove that overnight hikes do have a purpose after all. Several novelty numbers are being prepared to feature Trum peters Bob Stotlar and air corps’ “Hot Lips” Getchel, Pianist Ralph Sutton,''and Drummer Boy “Whit ey” White. Dancers who attended last Saturday’s air corps dance will recall the hot “rides” taken by these men and by “Ace Fehl berg, sax artist supreme. Serenade in Schmaltz The new specials will also feature sax solos by Jack Blumen thal, and the other members of the orchestra will be given their chance to shine. Particularly en joyable should be the numbers which feature whole sections of the group. The new “Campus Serenade,” for example, is being arranged for the sweet tones of the sax section. The popular jive ensemble, “The Band Within the Band” will give several interpretations of modern “Dixieland” music, and Sue Welch, vocalist, will be on hand to offer her talents as the music is given words. Sy and Bill In addition to music, the pro gram will include several variety acts featuring Sy Klempner, com edian who was well received at the recent soldier assembly, and his new partner Bill Stretch. It is also hoped that the newly formed ASTU glee club will ap pear. Other acts are being ten tatively planned. This, then, will be the army’s “Campus Serenade.” Be there, Jack -and bring Jill.

Stevens, city editor Mary Margaret Ellsworth Pat Percival Marilyn Miller Warren Miller Met Singer Wins Praise By ELIZABETH HAUGEN The singing of Marjorie Law rence, who will appear at McAr thur court Saturday night, has been described by Robert Law rence of the New York Herald Tribune as fusing the throat of a Flagstad with the heart of a Kappel. Critics have praised her marvelous emotional depth and clear quality of tone. While studying with Ivor Bous tead in Australia, her native country, and with Mme. Cecile Gilly in Paris, the range and tone of her voice amazed all who heard. So great a gain did she make in her first two years of study that her father reversed his previous stand, and volun teered to sponsor her further training. It was after winning an operatic contest for the Mel bourne Sun that she decided to go to Paris to study. After her debut in Monte Car lo in 1932, as Elizabeth in “Tann hauser,” she signed a three-year contract with the Paris Opera. Her portrayal there is Ortrud in “Lohengrin” stopped the show in the second act. At only 26 she returned to the United States for her first season with the Metro politan Opera. With her return to opera in November, 1942, after more than a year's struggle with infantile paralysis, her performance was met with a trendous ovation. “Never-ending applause and shouts of approval greeted her remarkable accomplishment. For Miss Lawrence's delineation of Venus has not been equaled here since the days of Olive Frem stad,” wrote Jerome D. Bohm, of the Now York Herald Tribune.
