"With 'Fledermaus,' the Met, Centrally a respectable old ds e, lets down her hair and j an GILFORD kicks up her heels. Were he alive, Strauss would have a higher ASCAP rating; than Richard Rodgers, having been quite a man for turning out song hits and many of these hits are packed into 'Fleder maus.' When you hear them sung In Broadway English by such splendid artists as these, you are getting the best there could be," states John Chapman, distinguished critic of the New York Daily News. Adding to the prestige of the production from a theatrical standpoint is Garson Kanin's stage direction. He also has made the new English version with lyrics by Howard Dietz. The produc tion was designed by Rolf Gerard, who also did sets and costumes for the Metropolitan's successful "Don Carlo" last season. During the ball in the second act, the ballet troupe will dance one of Strauss' most popular waltzes, "Roses From the South," with choreography by Zachary Solov and with Tatiana Grant zeva as premiere ballerina. Leading comedy role of Rosa linda, the flirting, two-timing wife, is sung by Brenda Lewis. Vera Bryner, in male attire, is the bored, snooty, comical Prince Or- lofsky with a monocle and a yard long cigaret holder. Virginia MacWatters, as the 1 maid Adele, dresses up as a lady and invades the brilliant cham pagne ball, encountering there her employer who she thought was in jail. John Tyers is the suave ball-master, Dr. Falke, . the Bat, plotting the confusion ! of his friend Eisenstein, sung by ! Donald Dame. jf "Fledermaus" means "bat," the bird kind, not the baseball variety. m The operetta is called "Fleder- maus - Decause ur. r ruz rauce, g played by John Tyers, was found drunk in the public square after a party, to which he had gone dressed as a bat. He had been left there by his pal, Eisenstein. !g In "Fledermaus" the gay bat gets his revenge. The performance will start at 8:30 p.m. Prices are $4, $3, $2, and $1.50. Special student price is $1. tiXv vws? mimmf ,yy$ ?:WiS:-::?i ktm: i mmwU?S ymyyyl 9i spps?v .-.'" Z-vfrny?::..

Nearly every noon and after noon there's a game going in the Union and frequently all three of tne union's sets are in use. A num ber of spectators are usually present. Sophomore Dick Kelly helps beginners learn the game by using a demonstration chess board he designed himself. He mounted chessmen on pegged wooden blocks which fit holes in the squares on a large chess board. The board stands upright on a table and the men can be moved at will to show plays to a group. ' With the demonstration board anyone can learn basic plays in' Ag Mens club initiated 26 mem-1 iu u iiour, Aeiijr says, ne nrsi;bers into the oreanization at its 'a weekly meeting Monday night.

Kelly and Bill Steen of Lin coln, who helped form a chess club, believe that playing in the Union lounge where large num bers of students gather during the noon hour has done a lot to stimulate interest in the game. Most of the interest to date has been among men students. But!Billy Schoultz, Fred Smidt, Mervinif Kelly hopes that coeds will join stake and George Myers. In.
