Minnesota Orchestra Plays with Punch
By STEVE SHERMAN
and JAMES BARNES Kansan Reviewers
Despite the fact that they were forced to play in ancient Hochstube, they are now the music theater, under its music director, Stanislaw Skrowacewski, succeeded in offering its audience a favorable concert Thursday
Playing in Hoch Auditorium is a nightmare for any musical group. It is almost impossible to play in such a room, and it filled it is invariably unbalanced. Under these handicaps, the Minnesota Orchestra opened its concert with the "Overture to Beethoven". The orchestra played 'Beethoven'.
KANSAN reviews
the work very well, and most musically for a change, as professional orchestraes are notorious for tearing through the music, rather like the way one gets up in the morning and brushes his teeth.

But, when Skrowacewski brought the orchestra to accurate and well defined passes in the rehearsal room, the silence, almost letting the coo
The second work on the program was the "Partita for Orchestra" by the British composer Sir William Farram. The piece has all the flavor that a contemporary Briton can impart, in that it is composed mainly of baroque and classical music to this style was in the second movement, in which several solo instruments were employed, the harp and the cella, which were the harp and the celesta.
The second movement began with sort of an offertor dude too, but he didn't. He traded the same melody to the violins who passed it on to them.
After the intermission, Sirocree and the company laid down the monumental Symphony in D" by the Finnish composer Jake Sihelius. This is a work of great artistry, charm and precision, but also a certain amount of musical skill. The orchestra sometimes got in quite a hurry, but there was really no need to run.
formance, there is no denial that the Minnesota Orchestra is one of the most in land. It is nice to have a band here. But he chestra here for a change. Let them play Sibolua a little fast, so they can punch that they had last night.
Throughout most of the piece, sounds of a modern nature were broken by musical pieces they broadened into a very delicate and expressive romantic sound.

Restraint in this case is what makes Sibelius what he is; so

'Unknown Soldier' Effective Allegory
By MELISSABERG
Kansan Reviewer
Mitchell's song, "The Coca-Cola Game," effectively set the tone for the series and his Wife," which opened last night in the Experimental Theater.
When the lights dimmed, a stageful of actors sang of "captives on a carousel of time". From this introduction unfolded a story about a message dealing with man's repression and bibings into war through history.
THE PRODUCTION, directed by Anita Masseh, got off to a slow start. The screen displayed a tendency to speak too rapidly, but strong acting and artistic transition between the actors prevailed thereafter.
Utinov's play is an eloquent personal commentary on the character of a woman any age. There are the comedic, the sad, the hard and irrational, the common.
proverbial Unknown Souter. dies meaningly each time he leaves the house, for acceptance of such commands Always he is survived by his wife Always he is survived by his wife
The epitome of the war profiteer, the Inventor, appears in each epoch to provide the tools necessary to inevitably lead to man's downfall.
Entwined with the commentary on the absurdities of Christian baptism, immilitated barbs at religious mercy particularly attacks the hypocrisy of the clergy, their use for the oracular pleasure and material gain
THE REEBE is the voice of reason throughout the pilot who has been in charge of only at the very end that the Rebeak awakenes (the unknown person) to be replaced by repeating diehit, but then it is too late; as man's weapons have grown.
Richard Sarradet as the
General and Ronald Shull as the Archibishop were tremendously impressed by the prescribed theatrical manner to the hit. Both gave excellent and engaging performances which necessitated changes of accent and gestures as the eras changed.
Barbara Allen, as the continually deserted wife and Sohan Greene, as the unknown Sohan also gave fine performances.
'Hi, Mom!' an Utter Flop
By CHIP CREWS
Ron Parker reappeared in each era with the convincing, casual cynicism of the contemporary rebel.
Kansan Reviewer
"Hi, Mom!!" is a very bad movie. Movies with that wrong with them just don't come around too often. The sad part of it is though, that they usually are better for children.
The film's creators appear to have three primary goals. They want it to be funny, which it is not. They are trying (isn't everyone?) to make a valid statement about the lilies of our society. Finally, they say that society is rapidly, rapidly going away.
Most of the recent pictures that have been critical of society have had liberal doses of humor and humanity, but we can hold our own to their lies by simply complying with their elements, by making us laugh at or like one of their characters, they force us to listen to their horrifying conclusions rather than reject them.
ITS SAD, because if they had limited themselves to one of the first two ideas, or even both of them, they might have come up with something good. As it is, they don't do any of the three very well, and the picture is alternately offensive and boring.
AS YOU MIGHT have guessed, is the third idea, the society gone mad, that destroys the picture. It simply throws the other two out of focus to the extent that nothing even makes sense. Proving this kind of evidence to be true may not do but doing so and combining it with what is already there is hopeless.
“Hi, Mom!” has a protagonist no one could understand, let alone like. We are unable to get to know him. There is no character, action or scene to even remotely appeal to the viewer, and that makes it easy to dismiss the whole instead of evaluating its parts.
A large portion of "Hi, Mom!'s" first night walked walked out and headed for the hall. They can't be blamed. Here is a picture the family took in their apartment. Everyone: a laugh, a thought, a warning. Instead, it has a lot of cute utures, a little ugly kitty, triptyque dialogue and an overdose of
Maybe if its silly little affectations were ignored and "Hi, Mom!" were viewed as a documentary of our society, present and future, it could work. But I don't think so. Some ambitious fellow just took too big a bite.
