k Tibbett Favors American
Music, Steaks, Cigarettes
BY SAM WARREN.
Steaks, olive oil and cigarettes
tn well th exhaustive subject of
music were discussed by genial
Lawrence Tibbett when he met
reporters while in Lincoln for last
Wednesday's recital. A tall, well
built man, Tibbett proved to be
genuine individual with a vital,
enkindling personality.
In its popular music, "America
has developed an individual style
all its own," Mr. Tibbett declared.
"I prefer to call it folk music,"
he continued, "not in the old
sense but in a new sense, for the
popular music of such composers
as Kern arid Gershwin are truly
of this time and of this people."
While the average run-of-the-mill
composer "follows his nose,"
as Mr. Tibbett put it, composers
like Jerome Kern are "as out
standing in their field as Johanne
Strauss and Franz Lehar have
been in Europe."
Classics vs. Popular.
And as for the classics versus
the popular, hit parader Tibbett
firhily believes that there is too
sharp a "line of demarkation" be
tween the two. The classic fans
"who say that swing is cheap and
unworthy of my attention are just
as "stupid" as those who refuse
to have anything to do with the
classics," Tibbett affirmed. There
is no reason why the two can't
get along together as Tibbett
sees it. All of which should help
add to the whys of Mr. Tibbett's
being on the said hit parade.
"Speaking of popular music and
the hit parade," asked on re
porter, "are you going to encore
with any popular songs tonight?"
"Well if you mean 'Ac-cen-tu-ate
the Positive' or 'Don't Fence
Me In the answer is definitely
no,'" smiled Tibbett with a

Practicing while on tour is one
of an artist's biggest problems,
what with getting pianos moved
into hotel rooms which are usual
ly only large enough for one
single bed! In addition there is
the nuisance of people nosing
around while an artist practices.
"Whenever you open your mouth
they expect a beautiful song to
roll right out. They don't under
stand practicing and warming
up," he said.

the evening that is not original
with Orchesis, but is used in the
dance suite to complete the
theme. In the Chinese dancme,
those participating appear in
colorful vivid Chinese costumes
and the dance shows a popular
impression of a Chinese emperor's
court. Dr. A. Lockhart, who is
sponsor for Orchesis, will com
plete the suite of dances by danc
ing a vigorous solo in traditional
Russian cossack costume.
"Daily Dozens for Modern
Dancers," given next on the pro
gram, is a study in modern fiance
techniques. Anne Birdsall will
play a piano solo, "Hark, Hark
the Lark," by Schubert-Liszt.
Light Dances.
All of Orchesis appears in "Mu
tiny in the Nursery" and is one of
the quick, humorous and light
dances of the evening. Following
this is a series of light and flighty
dances: "Bolero" is a gay solo by
Virginia Pettit; "Tea Dance" is
whimisical, slightly satirical in
terpretation of a ladies' tea party;
"A New Hat" is a dance solo by
Peggy Maly and the last of this
series, "Three Short Dances" var
ies in mood from a fast perpetual
motion to a flowing Grieg melody.
A study in kinetis, with original
accompaniment by Carl Ziegler, is
"Moderniana" and is a composi
tion for a group of seven dancers.
Pre-Orchesis and Orchesis will
then present a suite of three
dances based on the dance forms
of the minuet, the rondo and the
pavanne.
Traditional Walts.
The last number on the pro
gram is the Theater Waltz and
is a traditional waltz danced by
all members of Orchesis in the
style of light theater entertain
ment. '
Orchesis is sponsored by the
department of physical education
for women and the women's ath
letic association and is under the
direction of Dr. Aileene Lockhart.
Accompanist is Anne Birdsall.
Choreography of the dances is
by members of Orchesis. Those
managing the lights and stage are
Fern Freeman, Jo Gish, Carol
Krey, Jeanne Bowers, Charlotte
