TO ADDRESS TB
E
TAYLOR SOCIETY
"Management Problems Of The
Textile Industry" Will Be
Subject Of Talk.
Doctor C. T. Murchison, pro
fessor of economics and an au
thority on the subject of the
present situation in the textile
industry, will speak on the sub
ject "Management Problems of
the Textile Industry" before the
University branch of the Taylor
Society at its regular weekly
meeting Tuesday evening.
Doctor Murchison is to be the
third of a series of faculty
speakers who are delivering ad
dresses on subjects related to
business management before the
University branch of the Tay
lor Society.
Doctor Murchison is a recog
nized authortiy on the subject of ;
the present depression in the
condition of textiles, and last
week Bernard Cone, head of the
Cone Textile Mills in Greens
boro, referred to an article by
Doctor Murchison as a true ac
count of present conditions.
The January issue of The Vir
ginia, Quarterly has an article
in it written by Dr. Murchison
in which he shows that snarls
in the organization of the tex
tile industry are behind the cot
ton mill strikes and that an in
tegration of the industry is ne
cessary before either mill own
ers or workers can profit. This
article was chosen, by a council
of librarians as one of the ten
best articles appearing in perio
dicals during January.
Extension Division
Conducting Graduate
Course In Dentistry
The 1930 post-graduate course
in dentistry, under the auspices
of the University extension di
vision in cooperation with the
North Carolina" Dental Society,

enrollment approaching 125.
Six cities have been selected as
class centers for the course:
Greenville, Raleigh, Greensboro,
Winston-Salem. Charlotte and
Asheville.
During the course a series of
six subjects will be taken up, to
be taught by several dental
specialists. Classes will be held
once each month. Conducted on
his tour by Mr. Grumman,
head of the extension division,
Dr. R. S. Simpson of Richmond
visited each of the towns re
cently, lecturing on the subject,
"Practical Dentistry." In spite
of the inclement weather, Mr.
Grumman stated that the classes
were very well attended.
The instructor , for the next
series of classes will be Dr.
Charles W. Freeman of the
Northwestern University' school
of dentistry. He will speak on
"A New Anaesthetic," through
the week of February 17. Topics
for the ensuing months have
been selected : "Psychology,"
"Radiography," "Dental Eco
nomics," and "Gold Inlay Tech
nique." As yet no announce?
ment has been made concerning
the men who will teach these
subjects.
Arrangements for the course
were made under the direction
of an extension course commit
tee of the dental society, com
posed of Drs. J. M. Johnson, E.
B. Howie, Dennis Keel, Arthur
Fleming and L. M. Edwards.
Mr. Grumman is the Univer
sity's representative in the work.
Play-Okers Production
Pleases Large Auctieee
"Children Of The Moon"
Pre-
sented By N. C. C. W. At
Playmakers Theatre.
GIVE 3 PERFORMANCES
After Slow Start In First Act
Presentation Of Martin Fla
vin's Tragedy Goes Over Big
With Audience.
(By Robert Hodges)
The third and final perform
ance of Martin Flavin's tragedy
"Children of the Moon" as pre
sented by the Play-Likers of the
North Carolina , College for
Women was given at 8 :30 last
night in the Playmaker theatre.
The cast appearing is the
same that was in the production
when given last fall in Greens
boro. All of the parts were
filled by members of the organ
ization who have received ex-
penence
m
previous produc-
tiohs.
Miss Vera Buckingham as the
high handed mother was the
best performer among the three
women in the cast. Her role
was played with , the sincerity
of polished experience; there
was no awkwardness. Her voice
did not betray her age as it did
in the case of Miss Ruth Ab
bott's portrayal of Madam Ath
erton, the kindly grandmother
whose actions were futile
against the impending tragedy.
Miss Abbott's work improved in
the second and third acts; pos
sibly the change of apparel at
the last created. a more distinct
impression of her grandmother-
liness. Miss Eloise Banning
gave a favorable characteriza
tion of the unfortunate heroine,
Jane Atherton, but her portrayal
was not as sincere as Miss
Rup.lci tie ham's picture of the
mother.
The male members of the cast
all performed excellently. Their
work was smooth, and they
played their parts with a sin
cerity that was obvious. Mr.
James Hoge carried the role
of the hero, Major John Bannis
ter, very well on his competent
shoulders, as did also A. T. West
as Dr. Wetherell, the kindly and
understanding family physician.
W. R. Taylor succeeded in cre
ating the illusion of madness
in that crack brained old cari
cature of a once brilliant man,
Judge Atherton. The work of
H. G. Mitchell in the minor rple
of Walter Higgs, the Major's
mechanic, deserves praise, and
A. Stacey Giff ord as the servant,
Thomas, should be accorded
special recognition. He fell into
the, role of the old, rheumatic
ex-sailor perfectly, and his act
ing deserves credit.
Mention should also be made
of the sound effects produced
behind stage. They were all
realistic : the surf washing and
beating against the shore, the
sound of the airplane and auto
mobile motors, the explosion oc
curring at the end.
On the whole the presentation
of the drama received favorable
comment, and its production re
flected credit on the N. C. C. W.
dramatic organization.
No Chapel Monday
Dean Bradshaw announces
that there will be no chapel
on Monday, contrary to the
statement made in Friday's
Tar Heel. Chapel will be held
on Tuesday.

! HAROLD MEYER TO
ADDRESS Y GROUP
H. D. Meyer, of the Sociology
department, will speak tomor
row night to the Freshmen cab
inet at the Y at 7:15. The sub
ject of his address will probably
be something pertaining to
"Success." At the last meeting
Parson Moss spoke to the cab
inet on the value of Truth, giv
ing many examples in which
truth could be used to bring
about the best results.
The Junior-Senior .cabinet will
conduct a discussion led by Mr.
f Comer on "The Bearing of the
Modern Psychology on the
Question of Moral Obligations
and Moral Freedom." The first
15 minutes of the time will be
taken up with business and the
last 30 will be given over to the
discussion. This discussion will
continue for the next three
meetings.
The sophomore cabinet will
probably be addressed by Dean
Bell on "The Religion of a
Scientist." President J. Elwin
Dungan urges, ' however, that
all members be present. The
meetings for the past month of
this cabinet have consisted of
talks by different men on the
subject of the "Negro Question."

Grail Gives Second
Of Winter Quarter
The Grail dance of last night
ended the social activities of
the week-end for the followers
of Terpsichore. The usual num
ber of boys dragged, hopped and
danced away the short hours,
which seemed even shorter due
to the nearness of the Sabbath.
Only four out of a possible
five girls took advantage of the
offer made by the Grail to give
the first five girls entering the
dance hall before 9 :30 o'clock a
box of candy. However, the
dance was begun quite a little
bit before the usual dance on the
Hill begins.
A rather attractive scheme of
decorating the ballroom was
used. These decorations were
the same as used by the law
school dance Friday night. They
consisted of red, blue and yel
low streamers hanging over the
floor and several lanterns placed
artistically over the middle of
the floor.
Alex Mendenhall and his Tar
Heel Boys showed unusual pep
and rhythm under the direction
of their new leader, Billy Ar
thur of Charlotte. This dimin
utive musician could be seen
quite often on top of the piano
and other places seldom occupied
by leaders of even the most mod
ern of jazz-bands.

last Sunday was the first that

only three men sent to Southern
Pines, but the teams that will

sist of a quartet and from two
to four speakers.

Basile Kibalchich, Director, has
Wide Experience In Choir
Conducting.
SINGS IN SWAIN HALL
Group Is Appearing Here Under
Auspices Of Student Enter
tainment Committee; Sixth
Annual Tour.
Under the auspices of the stu
dent entertainment committee
the Russian Symphonic Choir
will appear here in Swain hall '
tomorrow night at 8:30. Those
not holding entertainment cou
pon books may purchase tickets
at one dollar each.
The present tour of the choir
the sixth in this country.
is
Basile Kibalchich, director and
conductor of the choir, is a na
tive of southern Russia. He
studied music at an early age,
selecting the violincello as his.
instrument. His studies in mu
sic and composition were at
Petrograd Conservatory and
under Rimsky-Korsakoff. In
1906 he was head of the fam
ous Archangelsky Choir of Pet
trograd. Since that time the
director has toured Europe as
a choral director and has led
the choirs of large cathedrals in
Europe.
The program to be sung by
the choir is in three parts.
The first of these will be made
up of Russian sacred " music.
No country today is as rich in
this type of music as Russia,
due to the fact that the Russian
Catholic church has one of the
oldest heritages of any of the
churches now active.
The celebration of feast days
and other occasions on the.
church calendar have been so
frequent that the volume of
musical literature which has
been created is much greater
than that of other churches.
The calendar calls for some 250
liturgical occasions annually in
addition to the 52 Sundays.
Hence, the Russian composers
have created an abundance of
religious pieces, many of which
will be represented on the first
part of the program.
The second division is that of
classical music, opening . with
Rachmaninoff's famous "Pre
lude in a C Sharp Minor," ar
ranged for the choir by Mr.
Kabalchich, the director. No
number will display the marvel
ous bass quality of the Russian
voice as much as this one. In
this group there will also be two
numbers from the popular Rus
sian operas, Eugene Onegan and
Prince Igor.
The final group will be one of
Russian folk music. The folk
song ; comes absolutely naturally
to the Russian, and in most cases
no new arrangements are need
ed, the songs being sung, exactly
as in the native surroundings.
The . entire program as sung
by the choir will be in the Rus
sian tongue, - but the printed
programs will carry the English
translations, so that the audience
will understand the character
and mood of eaclv number.
The director is responsible for
the selection of the program, as
well as for the arrangement of
many of the selections. He re
gards his group as a symphony
orchestra. It has been correctly
named a "symphonic choir.
The performance will be
given without the aid of an in
strument, and, one of the 'most
mysterious features of the eve
