Concert has magic spell
By Judith Faust
The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of George Szell, played to a near capacity crowd in Hoch Auditorium last night.
The orchestra performed the Overture to "Der Freischutz," by Carl Maria von Weber; Concerto for Orchestra, by Bela Bartok; and Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36 by Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky.

THE AUDIENCE WAS responsive, and one young lady, who sat a few rows down from this reporter, seemed to be particularly enchanted by the concert.
She arrived a half hour early, but there were already several hundred people scattered around the auditorium. She walked down the aisle searching for just the right seat, but hardly took her eyes off the orchestra, already warming up on stage.
When she found her seat, she settled back to read hungrily every word on the program. Done with that, she fidgeted, turning this way and that, and at last the concertmaster walked on stage for the final tuning. The audience politely applauded him, but her applause didn't seem to be merely polite.

SHE DUG IN and settled herself firmly, for the concert was about to begin. When Szell entered, the audience and the girl clapped again, but he quickly stepped to the podium and raised his baton.
She seemed totally involved in the music as the orchestra played von Weber's overture and the Bartok concerto. She sat tall and alert, her face intent, sometimes serious, sometimes slightly smiling. She only relaxed between pieces, and then just to applaud and once again scan her program.
After intermission the orchestra began the Tchaikovsky symphony, and her face mirrored the music as accurately as a conductor's score. In the breaks between movements, the audience stirred, changing position, coughing, murmuring softly. She didn't move. She waited for the music to begin again.
SAIGON—(UPI)—U.S. Marines supported by a thundering air and artillery bombardment trapped and smashed a crack Communist force today in one of the major battles of the war, leaving more than 500 enemy dead.

THE COMMUNISTS, believed to be North Vietnamese regulars and armed with unusually powerful weapons, tried desperately to fight their way out of the trap. But the Marines, moving swiftly by helicopters, blocked all escape routes.
Heavy artillery pumped more than 4,400 shells into the "circle of death" and Marine planes striking low out of the sun dumped more than 100 tons of bombs.
The Leathernecks and government paratroopers counted 322 bodies in the low scrubby hills and rice paddies near Quang Ngai City about 335 miles north of Saigon and estimated about 200 more also had been killed in the day and a half of fierce fighting.
Then the Leathernecks moved in, closing the noose around the trapped enemy.
WHEN THE CONCERT was finished, and Szell had been called back on stage several times, she jumped to her feet, one small girl in a very large auditorium. And the whole audience followed.
Car lacks motor
OTTAWA — (UPI) — A safety car was recently unveiled here, including such features as sliding doors, head rests, roll bars and an unbreakable steel shell.
But the major safety feature on the auto was that it had no motor.
She plaumed, and they did, too, until Szell returned to the podium and began an encore.
In the program notes about Tchaikovsky's symphony it said, "Everything sounds, everything sings, everything is long remembered."
And one feels that, for her at least, this concert will be long remembered.
