Voice Professor's Last Recital Marked by Praise and Applause
Rv Tom Winston
Hearty applause greeted Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, before his faculty recital last night at Swarthownt Recital Hall but his bewitched audience gave him an ovation when he had finished.
There was more applause just before the intermission, and more again before he began the second half of his program. There would have been still more, but the printed program requested there be "no applause except at intermission and at the close of the program."
"It was glorious. His voice is richer and fuller than ever. It was as if you were pushing buttons and the sound came out, only there was a heart behind it and there was none of that noise in between."
ONE WOMAN who obviously had heard him before said:
Last night was a very special recital for Prof. Schmidt, a bass baritone. He sang Schubert's great song cycle, "Die Winterreise" (The Winter Journey), which he said is his favorite.
favorite.
Also, he said last night was his last faculty recital. He turned 65 last Thursday.
John Perry, assistant professor of piano, was Prof. Schmidt's partner. It was Prof. Perry's first KU appearance as an accompanist.
Hurricane—
(Continued from page 1) where the hurricane re-entered the Atlantic today.
Atlanta The unidentified radioman reported in a hoarse voice that three-fourths of the city was covered with flood waters and "the situation of this city is desperate."
"PLEASE DO something," the operator pleaded. "There is danger of an epidemic, since bodies, some stacked up and others floating in the waters, could set off an epidemic."
Another radio operator interrupted the report, saying, "Comrade, remember your orders, remember your orders," apparently referring to an order from the Communist government not to give information on casualties.
AT LEAST 21 other victims of the hurricane had been reported from Cuba including two U.S. sailors lost in flood waters that swept over a corner of the Guantanamo Naval Base.
The "at long last" turn of the hurricane — as the weather bureau described it — apparently removed the Florida coast out of danger.
BOTH THE SONG line and the accompaniment in Schubert's songs are greatly dependent upon one another. Prof. Schmidt and Prof. Perry breathed and thought as one.
As in "La Dolce Vita," Fellini has concentrated on the life of one man in contemporary Italian society. The same actor, Marcello Mastroianni, who appeared in La Dolce Vita portrays his central character, the motion picture director, Guido Anselmi, in "812";
Throughout the evening Prof. Schmidt showed what a good storyteller he is (and songs are stories set to music, let no one tell you otherwise). His manner was conversational and it varied beautifully with the story; his diction (in German) was clear and natural-sounding.
ANSELIMI HAS reached a point of artistic stagnation beyond which he cannot progress. Day dreams, fantasies and memories of childhood fill his imagination, but he is unable to create the work of significance which he wants to. As producers, actresses, scriptwriters, harass him about the film he is going to make, Anselmi only withdraws further into his own fantasy-world.
Film Maker's Artistic Limit Shown in $ 8^{\frac{1}{2}} $
" $ \frac{8}{1 2} $," the latest film with English subtitles by Federico Fellini, director of "La Dolce Vita" is now showing at the Varsity Theatre as one of a series of art films.
Images of Anselmi's world—both mental and physical—flow past in an unbroken rhythm. Equally apart of his world is the overwhelming presence of the human voice: people speak incessantly and often in several languages.
In the end Anselmi comes to realize that the complexity present in the world around him is a reflection of the complexity that lies within him. Thus he is able to face his world and himself and to develop as an artist.
THOUGH Fellini has chosen a film director as his protagonist, his meaning is not thereby limited. For the problems that face Anselmi are in essence ordinary human problems, which are not restricted to any class or occupation.
