'ynzaimie Musical A
JLL
By HARVEY ELLIOTT
"The II oar of the
Gr-a:pa;ntThe Smell of the
Crowd."
What docs it mean?
For openers, it's the title of
John Haber's newest Carolina
Union production. (Last Year's
"Wizard of Oz" played to over
3 0 0 0 people in two
performances.)
It's a musical by Anthony
New ley "more exciting and
more dynamic" than Newley's
previous hit "Stop the World, I
Want To Get Off," according
to Haher. (Musical highlights
include "Who Can I Turn
To?," "The Joker," "On A
Wonderful Day Like Today"
and "Look At That Face.")
It means turning the Great
Hail of the Union into a
"theatrical environment" for
the Game of Life, played by
Cocky (the have-not) and Sir
(the have). (" . . . and the most
beautiful chorus line I've ever
seen," a waiter in Harry's is
reputed to have said.)
Dancing girls, prancing
urchins . . . music, drama,
vaudeville, romance just how
much can one show be about?
Haber, involved with the
show not only as director but
as co-star (he plays Sir), calls
the musical "whimsical ... a
fantasy.
"In this respect it is similar
to The Wizard of Oz, he said,
"but Greasepaint goes far
beyong the yellow brick road."

Indeed it does. The
allegorical fable has been
compared intellectually to
Beckett's "Waiting for Godot."
It has been likened musically
to Al Jolson or Busby
Berkeley.
Berkeley and Beckett? "It's
broad, most certainly," Haber
commented. "We're using
techniques ranging from strobe
light effects to old musichall
choreography.
"It's a total student
venture," he stressed, "from
the original sets through the
costuming and right down to
the directing and publicizing."
The cast members have been
culled from the best
productions produced at UNC.
Two of "The Apple Tree"s
greatest assets are cast in key
roles of "Greasepaint."
Malcolm Groome plays
Cocky, the foil for Sir and the
scapegoat for the world's ills.
"As a director and also as a
co-star," Haber said, "I can
truthfully say this whole thing
has been made a lot easier by
having someone like Malcolm
in the lead.
"It's a difficult role, and
Malcolm has really discovered
what Cocky's all about"
Vivian Wharton, also from
'The Apple Tree," plays the
leading female role of The Kid,
Sir's snivelling companion who
carries out his torments against
Cocky.
Other veteran players
include Linda Earp (Oz's
Wicked Witch and the
Playmakers' Passionella) , Joy ce
Schilke (Dorothy in "The
Wizard of Oz") and several
children from Haber's
"Wizard" production.
The touch of originality is
evident is every facet of the
show.
The enormous, 60-foot -wide
set extends down from off the
stage and into one-fourth of
the audience area. It was
designed and constructed
under the supervision of
Dennis Maulden, who has also
built sets for the Union's major
concerts this fall.
The gameboard of life is
taken from the children and
possessed by Cocky and Sir,
who enact the history of
man Littlechap or Everyman,
seen from a new perspective.
'Greasepaint" opens
Wednesday night and plays
through Saturday in the Great
Hall of the Union. And it looks
like a visit will be well worth
anyone's time.
The exciting and mystifying
Garbo mystique will be
explored this week in Memorial
Kail as the Carolina Union
Films Committee presents a
weekloag tribute to Greta
Garbo.
Beginning tonight and
running through Saturday
nlght, the major films of Greta
Garbo most of them never
shown on this campus
before will be showcased at 7
and 9 p.m.
A charge of 25 cents per
film will be necessary to curtail
the costs of such a special
series event.
Tonight, GRAND HOTEL is
the feature.
A 1932 M-G-M release, the
classic stars Garbo with John
B anymore, Joan Crawford,
Wallace Beery and Lionel
Barry more.
It was the w inner of the '32
Academy Award as Best
Picture.
About a cross-section of life
in a upper crust hotel, the
story involves John Barrymore
as a baron who manages to get
involved in the lives of several
guests.
Chief among these is
Russian dancer Grusinskaya
(Garbo), a lonely, inscrutable
woman who gives the picture
an air of mystery.
On Wednesday night,
QUEEN CHRISTINA is the
Garbo classic, a 1933 film
which reteamed Garbo with
John Gilbert in this story of
the Queen who had been
reared as a boy to succeed to
the 17th century Swedish
throne.
She finds herself in a
wayside inn sharing her room
with the new Spanish envoy
who has mistaken her for a
Nordic youth.
In reference to this film,
critic Kenneth Tynan has said
"What, when drunk, one sees
in other women, one sees in

The Tuesday Evening Series
will present the University
Symphony Orchestra, under
the direction of David Serrins,
in a concert tonight at 8
o'clock in the Hill Hall
Auditorium.
The Orchestra will perform
Symphony No. 102 in B-flat
Major by Joseph Haydn, Piano
Concerto in G by Maurice
Ravel (featuring Fedora
Horowitz, piano), and
Symphony No. 5 in E Minor,
Op. 64 by Tchaikovsky.
David Serrins, who is in his
third season here as director of
the UNC Symphony Orchestra,
is known and respected as a
fine musician and conductor.
He was previously director of
the East Carolina Symphony
Orchestra.
The University Symphony
Orchestra consists primarily of
students assisted by a few
faculty members and
townspeople. The Orchestra
takes pride in presenting to
students, faculty and the
community some of the
outstanding works in the
symphonic repertoire. These
concerts give the university
community an excellent
opportunity to hear the major
orchestral works from all
periods of symphonic
literature.
Fedora Horowitz, featured
soloist in the Ravel Piano
Concerto in G, was born in
Roumania. Having started her
piano studies at an early age,
she astonished Bucarest's
musical world with her
excellent performance of
Mozart's D Minor Concerto at
the age of twelve years with
the Roumanian Broadcasting
Orchestra. After studying with
Roumania's most prominent
piano teacher, Mrs.
Muziceseu the teacher of Dinu
Lipatti and an exponent of
Schnabel's School Fedora
Horowitz graduated with
honors from the State
Conservatoire of Bucarest.
A short but intensive career
in Roumania followed, which
was cut short by the artists'
leaving the country for Israel.
In Israel she was received with
great acclaim and became a
permanent soloist with the
Israel Broadcasting Symphony
Orchestra.
She earned an outstanding
reputation there as recitalist
and chambermusic player in
her performances all over that
country.
Mrs. Horowitz came to
Chapel Hill this year and is
presently studying with Dr.
William S. Newman at the
University.
The Haydn Symphony No.
102 in B-flat Major (in four
movements) is one of the later
"London" symphonies. It is
rather unique in that it bears
no nickname (such as the
"Surprise" or the "Clock"),
but it represents the mastery of
one of the world's great
symphonists.
Ravel wrote only two piano
concertos: the well known
"Left Hand Concerto" and the
Piano Concerto in G. Both of
these were written around
1932. The G Major Concerto is
witty, brilliant, really glittering
in mood and effect. It reflects
the good, spirits and
sophistication that made Paris,
where the work was premiered
in 1932, the jewelled mecca for
artists and intellectuals all over
the world at that time.
The Tchaikovsky 5th
Symphony has been one of the
most popular pieces in the
repertoire for audiences. It is a
typical 19th century
symphony which demonstrates
the genius of Tchaikovsky's
melodies and technique of
orchestration.
There is also considerable
evidence of the influence of
jazz (in the first and third
movements) which lends an
unmistakable feeling of
exuberance and joy in the
music. The orchestration is
brilliant and full of rich,
changing colors. The
contrasting second movement,
which is very lyrical and long
lined as one of the great mood
masterpieces of all time.
There is no admission
charge and students, faculty
and the Chapel HiU
Community is cordially invited
to attend.

Garbo, sober."
ANNA KARENINA, the
Tolstoy classic, was brought to
the screen by Garbo and
Frederic March in 1935. It is
Thursday night's film.
Garbo brings glamour and
romance to the plight of a
woman caught in an archaic
social situation. The film was
named "Best Picture of 1935"
by the New York Film Critics,
and awards went to the picture
and to Garbo at the Venice
Film Festival of that year.
Perhaps the most famous of
Garbo's films is CAMILLE. the
1936 version of the Dumas
classic which will be shown on
Friday night.
Under George Cukor's
direction, Garbo's performance
is electric and brings personal
dignity to the role of a
to be-j:n with, si r.ad a
profound err.oiiorial effect on
its audience, whkh was already
wrought up over the news of
Edward's abdication for his
The Nr York Times ca'ied
Garbo's perforrr.sr.ee "in the
finest tradition: eloquent,
tr-i-ic. yet restrained." The
New York Film Critics gave
their Best Actress award to
Greta Garbo for CAMILLE.
"Garbo laughs!" proclaimed
the advertisements of
NINOTCHKA, and the
actress's only comedy will
close Garbo Tribute on
Saturday night.
Director Ernst Lubiisch
surrounded her in a comic
story of the unbending of a
female commissar in frivolous
pre-war Paris. The New York
llerald-Tribune said "in this
gay burlesque of Bolsheviks
abroad, the great actress reveals
a command of comic inflection
which fully matches the
emotional depth or tragic
power of her early triumphs."
All showings will be in
Memorial Hall.
UNC identification will be
required for admission.
