Vice-President Announces Who's Who Members
Give Roaring Reception . . .
2000 Hear Kletzki Conduct
At First Concert of Season
by A L'KELIA ALONZO
Chat Staff Writer
Approximately two thousand
persona filled the muin auditorium
Monday night and gave a roaring
reception to the three compositions
of the Dallas Symphony orches-
tra's traditional first concert of
the season.
The crowd, which filled both
levels of the auditorium, was the
largest ever to greet the orches-
tra's inaugural.
• • •
.According to Hob Porter of
the Denton Record-Chronicle,
the wiaest and most fortunate
of circumstances for the fiO-year-
old orchestra was obtaining the
services of Paul Kletzki as con-
ductor last year.
♦ ♦ •
"In one abbreviated season
Kletzki has taken a competent but
rather listless orchestra and
changed it into a thing of per-
sonality, style, and grandeur. He
has breathed new life into the
structure of the orchestra, bring-
ing with him vigor and enthus-
iasm," Porter wrote.
The concert began with Bach's
"Chaconne," written as an instru-
mental piece. It was a recent ar-
rangement by Gesenway of the
Philadelphia orchestra.
Pierre Fournier played Robert
Schumann's A Minor Cello Con-
certo, Opus 129. After his number,
the nudience brought him back on
the stage five times. The clapping
seemed a bit strained and lacked
a quality of spontaneity, with a few
enthusiasts starting the appUuse
and the rest gradually joining in.
• • •
Porter railed Fournier a musi-
cian of rare talent with a com-
plete mastery of his instrument
and an obvious understanding of
the romantic quality of the Schu-
mann work.
• * ♦
Dr. George Morey, director of
the North Texas Symphony or-
chestra, commented, "The Dallas
Symphony is unquestionably one
of the finest orchestras. Fournier
certainly presented a fine per-
ormance."
The orchestra concluded the con-
cert with Beethoven's "Symphony
No. 3 in E Flat," Eroica. This
work was originally written in
tribute to Bonaparte when he was
first consul.
• ♦ ♦
Bonaparte then symbolized
the rise of humanism which Beet-
hoven introduced into music, the
essence of which was dynamic
and changing in mood and ideas.
When Bonaparte declared him-
self emperor, Beethoven became
disenchanted with his motives
and tore the dedication out of
his work.
1 News, "wasn't a 'repetition' or
j even an unlimbenng, but u polished
performance of music already se-
curely under the hands. Changes
in the orchestra, including a new
concertmaster and several virtuoso
players 'inside' the first chairs,
made their impression on u public,
many of whom followed the or-
chestra's fortunes with frequent
attendance in Dallas. An author-
ity in what is one of the eminent
collegiate music departments of
the area remarked 'you have never
given us such u fine orchestra.'"
The same program was pre-
sented Nov. 25 in the State Fair
music hall in Dallas.

Hamilton to Direct
Play Experiments
In Studio Theatre
An experimental production of
two plays will be presented by the
College theatre under the direction
of Dr. Stanley K. Hamilton of the
speech and drama department on
Dec. 10-11. The two plays, "Aria
Da Capo" and "Sotoba Komachi,"
will be presented free in the Stu-
dio theatre of the historical build-
ing.
"Aria Da Capo," written by Ed-
na St. Vincent Millay, is an im-
pressionistic play written after
the world war. It conveys ideas
through a modern treatment of the
Comedia del' Arte, according to
Dr. Hamilton. The other play,
"Sotoba Komachi," written by
Kwanami Kiyotsugu, is a tradi-
tional Japanese play involving an
ancient oriental theme of the soul
of one person entering the body of
another. The theme is familiar to
theatregoers as seen in the He-
brew play "Dybbuk."
The cast of "Aria Da Capo" in-
cludes John Peninger, Bridgeport,
as Pierrot; Bernell Blain, Abi-
lene, Columbine; Lee Kramer,
Mercedes, Cothurnus; Jack Ellis,
Paris, Thyrsis, and Bob Holman,
Electra, Gorydon. The assistant
director is Barbara (Babs) Harris,
Hurst.

Winokurs to Hold
Showing of Works
At Dallas Gallery
Itobert Winokur of the art de-
partment and Mrs. Paula Winokur
have a joint di-play of art works
at the Black Tulip gallery in Dal
las during December, Winokur
said Wednesday.
Fifty three pieces of pottery and
sculpture are shown in the ex-
hibit, entitled "Sticks and Stones."
According to Winokur, seven
pieces of sculpture are works in the
medium of stones and pieces of
wood, while the pottery is derived
from natural forms of rock.
A relief in clay and about half
the pottery was done by Mrs. Win-
okur; the other half of the pottery
and the sculpture work was done
by Winokur, he indicated.
The pottery displayed include
blues and whites but arc mostly
earth colors, Winokur added. A
few pieces are ceramic sculpture,
and the more utilitarian ware is
architectural in nature, he noted.
"Clay when it is wet has plas-
tic quality capable of taking all
impressions; some of these pieces
were made with the thought of re-
taining this 'wet' quality," Wino-
kur said.
Some of the sculpture displayed
is two-dimensional in nature. Most
are rectangular in shap« 3t,d ap-
proximately ten inches high and
twelve inches wide, Winokur con-
cluded.
Both are graduates of Tyler
School of Fine Arts of Temple uni-
versity, Philadelphia, Pa.
