Light show seen at Fiery Furnace
By R. J. Wilkins
Kansan Staff Reporter
Those who believe, those who want to believe, and those who came simply to gawk jammed into the Fiery Furnace Saturday night for an honest-to-goodness psychedelic light show.
The setting was appropriate. Occupying the basement floor of the aging Episcopal Canterbury House at 1116 Louisiana St., the idea for the Furnace was conceived in the fall of 1955 by R. J. Smith, a theology student, to be a "coffee house and a forum for ideas and folk singing," said Greg Busby, Wichita sophomore and co-manager of the Furnace.
Saturday night, however, it was given over to "hard rock" music and the psychedelic movement. The show got underway at 9:30 p.m.-a full hour behind schedule. While the audience waited, they were entertained by David Bailey, a purchaser for the Union bookstore. Bailey, playing a guitar, sang a series of requested folk songs.
Throughout the performance, as latecomers jockeyed for positions, the audience was also "entertained" by the jingle of ever-present bells and the rustle of bead necklaces.
Finally, the star attraction of the evening, the three-member "Gothic Lamb" arrived and proceeded to casually test their equipment. Phil Bayles, Houston, Tex., senior and leader of the group, prefaced the show by announcing, "We're going to look at some lights, slides and movies, and listen to some music while we do it."
Psychedelicism found a home that night in the Fierv Furnace.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed, the bell- and bead symphony halted, and an animated discussion of the "real meaning" behind "Bonnie and Clyde" died down.
The band's amplifiers exploded in a torrent of sound while three projectors flashed images on some old bedsheets attached to the basement's bare rock walls.
On one side, a woman, later identified as early-vintage Arlene Francis, spoke amiably upside-down. On the opposite wall, the star of a pre-1920 "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" went through a series of contours while, below, World War II generals Spaatz and Twining repeatedly walked backwards up an airplane ramp.
In the center, pulsating color slides of leaves, grass, dirt, flowers (of course), and unidentified bodies of water flashed on and off.
The reaction of this war of camp and color was typical: some stood, eyes closed, quietly snapping their fingers; others shrugged helplessly at equally confused companions; and one young lady

The portrait, by Daniel McMorris, a University artist, was done in charcoal.
Mrs. Hashinger and her late husband, J. R. Buttenfeld, contributed funds to build the hall
in 1850. She gave the hall an additional $20,000 for remodeling this summer, said Myrl Duncan, Paola sophomore and hall treasurer. It was used for repainting and the addition of some new rooms upstairs.
