Brothers Arrangements were
made by the Concert and Lecture
Series in conjunction with WVDE
The Monday evening of enter¬
tainment has jaeen planned as the
climax of homecoming weekend.
Concert and Lecture Series chair¬
man Jeannie Robinson said.
No stranger to the college cir¬
cuit. the Smothers Brothers be¬
came nationally prominent as per¬
formers through scores of college
appearances, according to review¬
ers
The reviewers continue:
“They lace together songs and
satire with that same engaging
treshness and youthful enthusiasm
that springboards them to fame.
While it is not highbrow or eso-
teric. their humor has a certain
intellectual appeal. Their nonsense
is educated nonsense . . They
bring a wholesome, well-adjusted
freshness to a field that is over-
populated with . , . conventional
oneline jokesters. The brothers
mainly kid themselves and can't
resist parodying those folk songs
that have been done again and
again by performers until they
have lost their meaning.”
An admission price will be
charged the public, while How¬
ard students are to be admitted
free

caller.
_ to new play director
Mr. Harold Hunt. Tha Glass
Menagerie is based on the emotion¬
al play of human sympathies and
obligations. It expresses the sur¬
face vivacity of life with the under¬
lying strain of immutable and in¬
expressible sorrow. The plays
theme is likened to a delicate piece
of spun glass. . .Quite beautifuL
yet so easily broken. This is. in the
opinion of many critics and ex¬
perts in drama. Mr. Hunt said. Use
