enthusiasm by University students
who called the band back for two
encores.
Hodes played at the Univer
sity in IS4B and again in 1949
when he made a tour of all the
centers also.
In between his touring dates he
gives piano lessons in Park For
est, 111. Although he prefers teach
ing, he said that tutoring is much
more profitable. Hodes grew up
in the Chicago area and spent
many years of his boyhood in Hull
House, a Chicago school for chil
dren of poor families.
He said his first jam session
was in this school with Benny
Goodman. Since then jazz has
been his'life long interest.
His present 6-piece band con
sists of a bass, clarinet, trumpet,
drums, trombone and piano and
was formed in 1940 but some of!
the members have changed since
then. Hodes, who is a member of
the American Society of Com
posers and Publishers, has made
several recordings among which
are “Meet Me in Chicago” on a
Mercury label and “Rompin’ and
Stompin’ ” on an RCA Victor la
bel.
At Sunday night’s concert the
band played “St. Louis Blues,”
“Ugly Child,” “Battle Hymn of the
Republic,” “Muskrat Ramble,”
"Tiger Rag,” “Washington and Lee
Swing” and many other selec
tions.

Servello To
Appear In
'Straw Hat'
Joseph Servello, who played
“Gramps” in “On Borrowed
Time,” will play the lead role
in the Players’ production,
“An Italian Straw Hat.”
The play opens at Center Stage
Feb. 19.
Servello, who is a graduate of
the University, will switch fiom
the role of a lovable grandfather
to a man whose main interests
are to get married and stay mar
ried.
For any other man this is a
routine task, but not for Ferdi
nand. On the day of his wedding
his horse eats a very valuable hat
being worn by a fashionable lady,
played by Sandra Hart. Into his
simple plans of getting married
looms the problem of replacing
the hat.
"An Italian Straw Hat," writ
ten in 1851 by Eugene Labiche
and Marc Michel must be seen to
be believed. It is a French f % ce
; of gaiety and humor.
Ollier roles in the play will be
| played by Ellis Grove as Nonan
iCourt, fathei of the bride; J. Rod
ney Busch as Bobin, cousin of
the bride; David McGirr as Emile,
a soldier; Robert Pikulsky as
Achille, an aristocrat; Marvin
Katz as Uncle Vezinet, a deaf old
|man; and David Downing as Tar
diveau, a 62-year-old milliner
and a member of the national
guard.
Also in the cast are Susan
Brown as Helene, the bride; San
dra Hart as the Baroness who
formerly owned the hat; Donna
Adams as Virgime, Anais’s maid,
and Susie Young as Clara a mil
liner.
