BY MARTHELLA IIOLCOMB
There we were, baclistage at the
Fabulous Dorsey concert, flat on
an instrument case. Tommy was
out in the middle of the floor, a
gentleman's gentleman perfectly
dressed in double-breasted grey,
replete with printed silk tie and
tan shoes. And when that trom
bone came into play, TD was a
musician's musician, everything
perfectly done.
The smooth flow of that famous
theme song, gliding from behind
the velvet curtain into the dark
ened coliseum sent the audience
into a trance which held them
through 'Opus Number One' and
Dorsey's best known 'Song of
India.'
After more than eleven years
of recording, Dorsey can't recall
how many pieces his outfit has
recorded. As he put it, "Kids are
always bringing up platters I don't
remember recording. I don't even
have a complete set myself."
SUII Records.
With two more years to run in
his current recording contract
with Victor, Dorsey is already
dreaming of years filled with fish
ing tackle. Following a decade
on the road, he's longing for the
time when he can say "This looks

The University Theatre is opening its 1946-47 season
this evening at 8 p. m. with "My Sister Eileen," a three act
comedy by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov. Subsequent
performances are scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and Sat
urday evenings and Saturday morning at 10 a. m.
Bragg Slated
For Second
Convocation
Dr. Raymond Bragg, editor
world-traveller and lecturer, will
make the second convocation ad
dress of the year in the Union
ballroom Wednesday, November
6, at 3 p.m.
Subject of Dr. Bragg's address
will be "Europe's Rehabilitation
How Far to Go?," announced
Prof. Carl Arndt, chairman of the
convocation committee.
European Traveler.
Dr. Bragg is the associate editor
of the 'Humanist' magazine and
has traveled widely in Europe and
Asia. He attended Brown univer
sity and the University of Chicago
as well as the universities of
Frankfurt and Hamburg in Ger
many. Drawing on his experiences
and education, he has become a
prominent lecturer on foreign re
lations and social and religious
topics.
In addition to his editorial
duties and lectures, Dr. Bragg has
been the minister of the First
Unitarian Church in Minneapolis
since 1935.
like a nice place, let's stay here
for a couple of days.
Asked if he ever got sick of
looking at people in night clubs,
Dorsey made the retort perfecto,
"We never get tired of them. It's
when they're not there you have
to worry."
The soon to be released movie
of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey's
lives, "The Fabulous Dorceys,"
sticks pretty close to reality, TD
said Monday. Scrms they changed
the scenario a bit here and there
to make it a bit more interesting,
but that's no real detriment ac
cording to Dorsey.
"People aren't interested in
what you have done," he says,
"They're interested in what you're
doing now."
Ziggy Elman, man Friday for
the crew, kept popping up with
appropriate comments through
out the show, a privilege open
only to people whose songs rank
with his "Two O'clock Jump" and
"Six Flats Unfurnished," or who
have played with Dorsey ten
years.

Elman will terminate the long
standing partnership, interrupted
IEHLIEIEM
"My Sister Eileen," is a hilari
ous comedy which has been
adapted from Ruth McKenny's
best-selling no-, zl. It concerns two
career-minded girls who brave
New York City in search of jobs
and adventure. In the latter they
are certainly not disappointed, for
they rent a tiny apartment in
Greenwich Village, through which
flows a never-ending stream of
gamblers, drunks, 'Brazilian future
admirals, and sand hogs.
Double Duty.
The rolls of the two sisters,
Ruth and Eileen, have been double
cast. Dorothea Duxbury and
Helen Plasters will take these
parts on the Wednesday and Fri
day night and Saturday morning
performances, while June Gast
and Arlis Swanson will play these
two leads on Thursday and Sat
urday nights.
A revision of the ushering sys
tem for the first time will be
put in effect tonight, according
to Dallas S. Williams, Director of
the University theatre.
In past years the ushering sys
tem used by the University Thea
tre to take patrons to their re
served seats has been unsatisfac
tory and has been one of the
causes of the delay in taking

during the war, at the end of this
tour when he starts his own band.
For the first few months he hopes
to book into small night clubs
with no radio time, then after
the polishing up is finished,
they'll make a public debut. As
yet Biggy will release no per
sonnel names.
Stuart Foster, latest successor
to the Sinatra-Haymes tradition,
turned in a performance which
fairly melted the beams. After
Elman's appreciative "Oh,
Frankie," the feminine auditors
settled down to a stillness wuich
would make the Gobi desert seem
noisy. His advance billing as the
'hottest' thing since Sinatra may
be deemed appropriate, at least
that was the opinion of the two
little high schoolers who fought
over his one handkerchief.
Band Adds Girls.
Dorsey's twenty-girl symphonic
section, which he co-ordinated
with the band in Los Angeles be
fore their month-long stand at
the Texas State Fair in Dallas,
added body and depth to his swing
classics. 'Sleepy Lagoon' and
'Rhapsody in Blue', the closing
number, plus 'Hawaiian War
