Entertainment Programs Promise
To Bring Talent to A & M Campus
By Fred Smitham
Town Hall is indeed happy to be able to offer to the students
of A. & M. one of the most well-balanced programs that has ever been
presented on this or any other campus in this section of the country.
Never before has this student-managed project brought as many persons
of national importance in the field of entertainment within the means
of the average Aggie.
In order to start the year with-f -
a program of interest to every stu
dent, Town Hall has arranged to
have Miss Helen Jepson, Metro
politan Opera soprano, for a con
cert on October 29th. One can not
help but admit a person who lift
ed herself to her present position
as one of America’s favorite so
pranos by her own vital perso
nality.
Probably the best known of all
American - born instrumentalists,
Albert Spalding, concert violinist,
will be with us for a concert this
spring. Today most persons will re
member him as the star of Andre
Kostelontez’ Sunday radio pro
gram, Refreshment Time. This ten
nis champion of Massachusetts has
not only been featured with such
world-recognized symphonies as
the Boston and New York but has
over 100 original compositions to
his credit.
In the early part of next year,
probably in February, Quentin Rey
nolds, ace foreign correspondent,
will speak to Town Hall on the
present European situation from
the up-to-date viewpoint of one
who will have only recently return
ed from the scene about which he
speaks. Last year Mr. Reynolds,
associate editor of “Collier’s”, be
came a well-known figure to the
average American with his many
interesting articles in “Collier’s”
and the motion picture short sub
ject “London an Take It.”
For the last several years the
most popular program on the cam
pus has been the Houston Sym
phony Orchestra, the outstanding
musical organization in this section
of the country. Composed of 60 to
70 performers, many of whom have
been members of famous orchestras
elsewhere, and conducted by Ernst
Hoffman, trainee of the well-known
Boston Symphony, its artistic posi
tion in the Southwest is unchal
lenged.
At the request of many Town
Hall patrons of last year this
year’s program will include a
Albert Spalding

group of ballet dancers which is
considered by critics as unsurpassed
in their field. Agnes De Mille and
her Dance Theatre are artists in
the true American tradition. Miss
De Mille herself has choreographed
for numerous Broadway product
ions and motion pictures, and is
overshadowed by no one as a true
American ballerina.
So much for imported artists;
Aggieland boasts a group of art
ists which any critic would approve,
the Singing Cadets. Composed en
tirely of students and directed by
professor Joe Woolket, this group
has toured many Texas cities and
received wide acclaim for their
broad repertoire and versatility. In
Houston last year they sang for
an audience of 10,000 persons.
As announced before, student
tickets will be on sale in the Ad
ministration Building on registra
tion day at a price of $2.00 for
the seven numbers. Reserve seat
tickets will go on sale at 8:00 a.
m. the first of October at the
Y. M. C. A. and in Bryan at A. M.
