ANNUAL FROLICS
CONTINUE TODAY
Yesterday Marked Fourth An
nual Opening of Dance Series
By Group of Fraternities.
Over a score of juniors and
seniors, interviewed by members
of the Daily Tar Heel feature
board, characterized the action
of the committees as "spending
at pre-depression rates in de
pression days." Only four men
were in favor of continuing with
the original arrangements..
Would Keep Contract '
The objectors to cancelling the
contract with Bert Lown and his
orchestra, an act which would looked upon as the official Uni
entail the loss of $100, were
largely fraternity men who are
the frequenters of dances on the
campus. On the other hand,
many men, to whom the Junior
Senior is the main social event
of the season, went on record for
downward revision.

Oh! The Pain of It ,
Books are usually brought
along, but are seldom read. A
soporific influence is exerted by
the sun and quiet reigns. About
five in the afternoon, when the
sun's rays become gentler, the
nudists troop indoors, glorying
n their martyrdom. A few ap
plications of this treatment and
the sun-worshipper feels fit to
amaze the folks at home with
stories of vacations on the
shores of Hawaii or whatever
his imagination is capable of
creating. It has been discovered,
however, that strength is sapped
by sleeping in the sun, making
for adherence to the old axiom
of "early to bed." And often
through the night the former
worshipper must have recourse
to the stock of sun-burn lotion
wise merchants have had the
foresight to buy. :
Ali Baba and the Forty
Thieves, a three-act dramatiza
tion of the Arabian Nights
story, will be continued today
with two performances by the
Junior Playmakers at 3:00 and
8:30 o'clock in the Playmakers
theatre. The play was adapted
and directed by Harry Davis
and enacted by a juvenile cast
from the community.
Ali Baba is the second major
production of the Junior Play-
makers, who were organized,
here by Davis last year to sup
plement the work of the Caro
lina Playmakers. Cinderella
presented last year as the ori
ginal offering of the group, was
unusually well received by adult
audiences as "well, as juvenile.
Play at Raleigh Also
Just as for the former produc
tion, many requests have been
received for special perfor
mances of Ali Baba. In com
pliance with one of these the
drama will be presented in the
Memorial auditorium at -Ra
leigh May 6, under auspices of
the Raleigh associated charities.
Among the features of the
production .are dances directed
by Mrs. Barr. Miss Jane Knight,
who appears as a slave dancing
girl in the play, was tumultous
ly received as Cinderella in the
production of that name.
Other attractions are elabor
ate sets of scenery designed by
oster r itz-Simons, ana cos
tumes by Mrs. Oramae Davis.
Music, dances, games, and
exhibitions will feature the first
state Dogwood Festival, which
opens here today for the pur
pose of giving expression to the
life of the native people of
North Carolina. It is hoped
that the festival may become an
annual spring celebration, when
native arts, games, and handi
craft may be combined in a pro
gram comprising traditional
creative activities of the state.
Various exhibits will be open
all day, but the two major events
are scheduled for 10:30 and
4:00 o'clock in the Forest theatre.
Musicians to Play
The morning event features
fiddlers, banjo-pickers, ballad
singers, and instrumental bands
in a program of native music.
The program will be continued
in the afternoon with old Eng
lish country dances, in which
residents of Chapel Hill and
neighboring towns will partici
pate. There will follow a concert
featuring vocal and instrumen
tal music based on native folk
lore to be presented by the Caro
lina Salon Ensemble, which is to
render numbers by Lamar
Stringfield, Herbert Hazelman,
and others with Thor Johnson
conducting. Songs will be offer
ed by the University glee club
under the direction of Dr. Har
old S. Dyer and by a quartet
from the local Negro Methodist
church.
Square Dances
The afternoon program in the
Forest theatre will be concluded
with old-fashioned square dan
ces directed by Miss Josephine
Sharkey. A charge of twenty
five cents will be made for the
morning and afternoon pro
grams together.
An exhibit of arts and crafts
