Gets "Face Lifting"
For Year's Debut
Last night the Tin Can began to
take on the atmosphere of the old

Jimmy Farr's in a "Battle of Music,"

while the other orchestra observes
time out.

dollar at the door.
Numerous students began work last
night erecting supports around the in
side of the indoor track for the thou
sands of yards, of purple and white
fireproof crepe paper which will form
false walls and ceiling for the "Make
Believe" ballroom.

FRITZ KREISLER
TO GIVE CONCERT
HERE JANUARY 16
Music Fraternity
Sponsors Violinist;
Tickets On Sale
Fritz Kreisler, noted violinist, will
be presented in a concert at 8:30 Tues
day evening, January 16, in Memorial
hall by the Alpha Rho chapter of Phi
Mu Alpha music fraternity.
Tickets are available at prices rang
ing from $2.75 to $1.10. Reservations
may be made with the University
music department.
PERSONAL HISTORY
. Kreisler is one of the few legitimate
concert artists to rise from the files
of child prodigies. His interest in the
violin began almost with speech. He
appeared in a concert in Vienna at
seven and the same year he entered
the Vienna conservatory. An excep
tion was made because the entrance
age was 14. Three years later, he won
the gold medal for violin playing.
After leaving Vienna, Kreisler
studied at the Paris conservatory.
Massart, the celebrated violin teacher
and Delibes, a theorist, raised their
eyebrows somewhat at the inclusion
of the "petit Viennois," then 10 years
old, into their classes. But when, two
years later, young Fritz won the Pre
mier Grand Prix de Rome against 40
competitors, all of whom were 20
years old or more, there was general
recognition of towering talent among
them.
FIRST TOUR
From Paris, Kreisler returned to
Vienna and undertook his first tour.
This was with the famous pianist,
Moriz Rosenthal and was routed
through the United States. The
American tour was successful; but at
its close Kreisler did an astounding
thing, a thing which marks him for
ever from the usual run of successful
child prodigies and gives the real key
both to his character and genius. He

CJomprehensives,
German Dances
To Be Same Day
An announcement from the Uni
versity administration yesterday
revealed that comprehensive exam
inations and the Mid-Winter Ger
man club dances with Glen Gray and
his orchestra will be held on the
same day: February 17.
Administrative sources stated that
any postponement of the date of
comprehensives would result in too
many conflicts, and that it would be
.impossible to make the exam date
any earlier, since it was already as
early as it could possibly be.
New Dining Hall Equipped
With Latest Improvements
Acoustical Treatment Reduces
Noise To A Minimum Through
out Entire Building
(This is the second part of a
feature story concerning the re
cently completed University dining
hall.)
One of the biggest improvements in
the new cafeteria over Swain Hall is
in the acoustical treatment. The ceil
ings are all of acoustic-celotex. This
celotex is a perforated fiber material
with a soft base that is supposed to
absorb, reduce, and soften all noise.
DROP A PIN
The clatter of dishes and the din of
several hundred voices talking at once
was one of the big objection to the old
building. But the' rat-tat-tat of a
score of hammers in the new hall sound
ed dull and soft, and shouting was
even tried but it was all in vain.
The special dish-washing room, al
ways a center of noise, is not only so
treated but also sound-proofed.
The kitchen, which is full of such
improvements and features, is a model
in planning, arrangement, and equip
ment that would make any housewife
exclaim with admiration.
Walls and floor are spotless white.
Playmakers Rehearse
Operetta; Kindler
In Fourth Appearance
Turning to campus talent to fill the
winter quarter program, the student
entertainment committee yesterday an
nounced that a joint Playmakers-Mu-sic
department production of the Gil
bert and Sullivan operetta, "H.M.S.
Pinafore," and a concert by Dr. Hans
Handler's National Symphony Orches
tra would be presented during Feb
ruary. The two programs will con
stitute the student entertainment series
for the winter quarter. '
Every afternoon in the Playmaker's
theater for the past few weeks, a large
cast, under the direction of John Toms
and Sam Selden, has been tuning up on
Gilbert and Sullivan in an effort to
emulate the D'Oyle Carte company
on the weekend of February 2-3 in Me
morial hall. A light operetta produc
tion has been presented annually by
the dramatic and musical divisions of
the University.
Among the principals already se
lected .to sing in "H.M.S. Pinafore"
are Helen Copenhaver who will sing
Josephine; Don Rosenberg, as Dick
Deadeye; Frederick Walsh in the role
of Sir Joseph Porter; Frank Haines as
Captain Corcoran; John Toms taking
the part of Ralph Rackstraw; Bernie
Aleskovsky as the Boatswain; Bill
Reagan in the role of Boatswain's
mate; and Mrs. Ruth Smith as Hebe.
On February 21, Dr. Hans Kindler
and his Washington, D. C, National
Symphony orchestra wil return to the
campus for the fourth time, to pre
sent a concert in Memorial hall. Grow
ing in popularity since its founding in
the early 1930's, the symphony has be
come one of the foremost in the nation.

All equipment is stainless steel. And
every piece is out from the walls so
the cooks and helpers can get around
it to work and clean, and so no dust
can collect behind it-
The ranges, steam kettles, and grid
dles are in one bank down the center.
The canopies above have plaster bulk
heads all the way to the ceiling, pre
venting the collection of dust. And
the electric ventilators on the roof in
stantly suck out any smoke or fumes
down to a cigarette puff.
The equipment is said to be the most
efficient and modern anywhere, and
a special feature is the huge electrical
thermotainer next to the ranges. This .
is supposed to keep food the exact tem
perature and goodness it comes off the
stove.
The kitchen also has four refrig
erator rooms cook's, baker's, salads,
and reach-in compartment for salads
but these are for temporary use in
preparing and serving meals. All stor
age is done in the several refrigerator
rooms, and all foods are prepared in
the service rooms in the basement, and
are ready to go on to the stove when
brought to the kitchen.
