Naval Heads
Set Up Plans
For Opening
With the Naval Pre-Flight training
school commissioning set for next Sa
turday, Commander O. O. Kessing USN
and Lt. John P. Graff USN are rushing
plans through with true Navy speed
and percision.
Latest development in the giant
commissioning is the announcement
that Lt. Commander T. J. Hamilton,
top man in the Naval Aviation physi
cal development department, will be
on hand at the Kenan stadium program
as a member of the acceptance commit
tee. No other Washington participants
have been announced by the Pre-Flight
officials but it is expected that at least
two more "higher ups" will be present.
The commissioning will begin at 5
o'clock with a parade of the officers
from the school here and then followed
by the Hon. Josephus Daniels' opening
remarks and official state welcoming
from Governor J. M. Broughton. Pres
ident Frank Graham will represent the
University.
Carolina's NROTC and CVTC units
will participate in a military review
with the band after which Commander
Kessing will accept his command as
head of the unit and raise the flag
of the Eastern "Annapolis of the Air."
The University Glee Club will conclude
the program.
This is a public commissioning and
all townspeople and students are in
vited to review the opening of the Pre
Flight school. Newspapermen attached
to the Navy department representing
Reuters, United Press, Transradio
Press, New York Times and many
others will be reviewing the ceremonies.
Playmakers Announce
'Peer Gynt' Tickets
Available Monday
Tickets for "Peer Gynt," which opens
on Friday will go on sale this Monday
at Ledbetter Pickard's and at the Play
makers new business office in Phillips
hall.
Prices are $.25 for children, $.85 for
college students and $1.13 for all others
A large group of soldiers has been in
vited from Fort Bragg as guests of the
Playmakers.
Costumes for the fairytale story, de
signed by Herbert Andrews and ex
ecuted by Irene Smart, are well on the
road to completion. The colors in the
costumes follow the coloring of the sets.
The opening sets are done in blue3 and
yellows and later sets are of brighter
colors. Setting and costumes work up
to a color climax in the troll scene
where the dominant colors are magenta
and orange.
For the wedding scene the costumes
were copied from the Norwegian fairy
books of the period and are made in
actual peasant materials such as flan
nels and homespuns. AH jewelry is
authentic and is used as the peasants
of the period used it.
Each character carries his own col
or, suitable to his mood and tempera
ment, throughout all the scenes in the
play. For instance Peer Gynt's color
is a bright blue; Solveig's is white;
and the mother's is brown. Old women
wear purples, etc.
A completely new approach to the
trolls is made in the costuming. Trolls
are usually regarded as green earthy
creatures that superstitious people
could well believe lurked in the moun
tains. In this play they become crea
tures of Peer's imagination, clad in fan
tastic other-world clothing. They be
come in reality creatures from a fairy
talc book. Trolls wear odd and hor
rible masks, and some of them wear
pink tails.

Surgery Job on Ben
By Sam Whitehall
And then there will be the occasion that Mey
er has been waiting for. That occasion will be
the presentation of the Sound and Fury come
dy production, "Are You KiddinV this after
noon at 2:30. And the occasion that Sylvan Mey
er has been waiting for is the opportunity to
cut off Ben McKinnon's leg.
Although the pre-combination en-
mity has passed, this carry-over will
be the goods at "Are You Kiddin'."
Ben McKinnon, editor-elect of the for
mer Tar an' Feathers will be brought
in by two stretcher bearers, have his
leg amputated by Meyer, editor-elect
of the former Carolina Magazine, and
be carried out again by the two
stretcher bearers. Tiny Hutton, one
of the directing staff, guarantees no
messy stuff. "Meyer will wear a nice
clean shirt, and the hack saw will be
the newest and sharpest we can find,"
he said.
Antics galore, of which this will be
but one, are promised by the cast of
nit-wits which dreamed up and re
hearsed "Are You Kiddin'," Sound
and Fury's swan song for the present
year. It will be sponsored by the Daily
Tar Heel in connection with the Red
Norvo concert Saturday- at 2:30. Ad
misison will be 25 cents a couple, 15
cents stag. The proceeds will go to
the dormitory social room fund.
Frank Brink, the Four Sounds, Kat
Charles, Fred Calligan, Paul D'Elia,
and Jackie Ray are but nine of the
campus entertainers that have been
drafted by Sound and Fury for this
Carolina "Hellzapoppin."

Ends with Riot Show,
Tea Dance, Formal
By Billy Webb
Culminating Senior week and the Junior-Senior
dance set, Red Norvo, king of the throaty
xylophone, and his orchestra hits the campus for
a day crammed with stage entertainment and
dancing.
The "laugh riot"" Sound and Fury production
"Are You Kiddin'" is coupled with the band's
premiere appearance in a concert be
ginning at 2:30 in Memorial hall. The
music of Norvo's band will be en
hanced by the lyrics of curvacious
songstress Kay Allen with vocalist
Fran Snyder and master ad lib trom
bonist Eddie Bert as additional band
features.
Ben Hall, president of Sound and
Fury, stated yesterday that "the club
has purposely kept the Hellzapoppin
type skit a mystery, but if you don't
die laughing, you are already dead
anyway." Outstanding event in the
show is the ludicrous drunken scene
performed by staid Tar Heel editor
Orville Campbell.
Following the show-concert will be
an informal tea dance in Woollen gym
frVm-5 o'clock to 6:30. Norvo's band
i'l jlay its famed "subtle rhythms"
for the dance. The filial dance of the
set, which is formal, begins in Wool
len at 9:30 and will last until 12
o'clock with Norvo maestroing.
Shortly before intermission Ben
Hall, president, will present the Sound
and Fury loving cup to the coed judg
ed most beautiful by the S&F execu
tive committee which will make notes
on coed glamor throughout the dance.
Red Norvo, who has had his own
band since 1935 when he left his posi
tion as featured soloist with Paul
Whiteman, has been an outstanding
musician for many years and is now
acclaimed as the "world's greatest
xylophonist." His sticks, or hammers
