Two network featured soloists,

gagement at Michigan's Cocoanut
Grove will furnish an evening's en
tertainment at the Dad's Day
varsity party, to be held Saturday
night in the coliseum.
Marion Davis, jazz and blues so
loist heard over eastern networks
last year, will star on choruses and
join the men's trio to compose an
unusual quartette. Art Dailey,
tenor who also "won his first fan
mail in radio broadcasting, is the
male soloist. He was frequently
heard over WFAM, WLS, WOWO,
WTRC, and other eastern stations.
Own Amplifiers.
The orchestra's own Selmer
DeLuxe amplifying system will
carry the music to every corner of
the ballroom, according to Party
Chairman James Marvin. Light
ing effects will be slightly altered
to make it easy on the dancers'
eyes, while retaining the novelty
of changing colored lights.
Other recent engagements of
the band have been at the Raymer
ballroom in Boston, Club Bohemia
in Detroit, the Hollywood Cafe at
Lansing, Summit Inn in Baltimore.

cludes duos, trios, ensemble sing
ing, four soloists, and novelty ar
rangements of the latest musical

Criticism of the dance floor for
all previous parties has resulted in
discarding the old wax system. All
old wax and varnish were cleaned
off with gasoline last week, and
borax spangles will be used for all

Marvin, this is the best type of
floor, but could not be applied until
varnish was removed for the com
