weariness after such an ordeal; on
the contrary, such freshnfess and
sheer vigor of tone have not been
heard on the violin in this vicinity
for a long time. Mr. Odnoposoff
possesses an astonishing mastery
of his instrument. He is ready for
any technical hazard the music
may present; one can count on
his intonation’s coming out impec
cable, and one can be sure liis tone
quality will be pure and rich.”

26-year old violinist began his
musical career at the age of four,
when his father bought him a min
iature violin at a bazaar. Studying

attention when you first visited
a three-ring circus? Did your
eyes travel from one thing to
the next, finding all sorts of
amusement in each separate
happening? In such a search,
some people have the time of
their lives . . . and some don’t.
Before a “some-do-and-some
don’t” audience, Saroyan’s “The
Time of Your Life” opened Satur
day evening at the Guild theater.
Under the direction of Horace W.
Robinson, this second production
of the University theater guild’s
dramatic season left the audience
openly admiring at the students’
extravaganza in correct character
portrayal.
The play will be presented for
the last time Thursday, Decem

It is useless to tell the story of
