The Union is sponsoring the series which will begin Nov. 17 with Paul Draper, dancer. The drama program, Actor's Holiday, is scheduled Jan. 18. The last event will be Gloria Lane, mezzo-soprano on Feb. 16. Student membership for the pro gram of three programs is $2.25; faculty, $3; patron, $5. Membership is limited to 600. "Single admissions will be sold only if the membership is not filled," Clare Hinman, member of the Union Board of Managers, said. Draper seems to have elevated tap and soft-shoe dancing from a demonstration of simple, though praiseworthy, agility to a high and difficult art, Wolcott Gibbs, drama critic, stated in the New Yorker. "In. . one. . samplecalled ; "Satire on a Political Speech," he achieves a more hilarious criticism with steps and gestures than anyone else that I can recall has managed with the aid of words," the New Yorker continued. The New York Post said that Draper has created a dance style that has had some imitators, but no one explores the subtleties of tap as he does. The story added that his feet make percussion mus ic while his body makes ballet. Draper was born in Florence, Italy, of American parents. He first started doing a bit of comedy dancing in London. Later he in vented his own style of harmoniz ing ballet technique with that of tap-dancing. Dance Magazine said that he has Indeed bridged the gap between the music hall and the concert stage, without condescension, with out pretense and with endless good taste. The drama group Actors Holiday Includes Marge Redmood, Lee Krieger, George Ebeling, Lillian Little and Stuart Vaughan. These actors will put on a comedy, verse play, comic sketch and a drama. "The Boor" by Anton Chekhov Is s comedy of bad manners. "A Found on Demand" is an anecdote sketched by Sean O'Casey that takes place In an Irish post-office.
