Michigan Symphony Plays Here Monday Monday night the Michigan Symphony orchestra presented a fine concert in the chapel under the leadership of Philipp Abbas. The 50 musicians played a balanced p r o g r a m , the first p a r t made up of classic compositions, and the l a t t e r of more modern and much more effective music. Eugene Heeter conductcd one number, and John Kollen p e r f o r m ed a Mozart "Concerto" with the o r c h e s t r a . His technique was delicate, but so artistic t h a t one learned to listen f o r his solo p a r t s . Mr. Abbas seemed to conduct mechanically in the first seelctions but showed his ability mo re toward the middle of the p r o g r a m . His best work came a t t h e last when he played as a cello solo an " A d a g i o " by Bach f o r an encore. A n o t h e r request w a s his own arr a n g e m e n t of Schumann's " E v e n i n g Song," played by the orchestra. The s t r i n g section gave a pleasing p e r f o r m a n c e of a Von Weber " W a l t z " and the selection by piano and o r c h e s t r a w a s outstanding. Probably the most enjoyed numbers w e r e the Mendelssohn "Overt u r e " and the "Second Indian S u i t e " by MacDowell, because of t h e i r descriptive qualities.

The e n t i r e senior class h a s been conducting an intensive ticket selling c a m p a i g n in order to m a k e the play a success in e v e r y way.

"The Late Christopher Bean" has always been a p o p u l a r play with professional as well as a m a t e u r companies. It was first produced in Baltimore, l a t e r in New York, and in various cities both here and a b r o a d . Reviewers have called it " s m a r t and ingenious," "pleasant c o m e d y - f a r c e — g a y and amusing," " r e f r e s h i n g , " " d e f t , " and "hilarious." T h e story concerns the situation which faces a N e w England doctor and his f a m i l y who have been l e f t a few d i r t y canvases by a village p a i n t e r of the n a m e of Christopher Bean, when he died penniless, in t h e i r care. Complications arrive when his w o r k is ac2laimed by a g r e a t New York a r t critic, and his p a i n t i n g s a r e sought by collectors and critics of every sort. A novelty twist at t h e end of the play provides i n t e r e s t and comedy. Miss Metz, the director of the play, is p a r t i c u l a r l y e n t h u s i a s t i c about it. " T h e r e is not one dull moment in i t , " she s a y s . " T h e m a n y clever touches, and the surprise ending provide i n t e r e s t and a m u s e m e n t f o r everyone."
