V Famous Pianists Return Nelson and Neal, an Austral- ian-American piano team, will ap pear 5 May at 8 p.m. in Moore Auditorium as part of the college Lyceum Series. During the last ten years the pair has presented more concerts than any other two-piano team in the world. They have been featured in LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL, CORONET, THIS WEEK, and NEWSWEEK. The pianists also serve throughout the country on several university and college faculties. They have visit ed Mars Hill many times. Allison Neal, an Australian, studied in Philadelphia with Ru dolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute of Music. There she met and mar ried Harry Neal, then a student of Mme. Isabelle Vengerova, a Russian instructor. During the concert season the duo regularly gives 80-100 per formances throughout the United States and Canada. In summer they live in Paris, Tenn., where they teach numerous students. In addition, they continue research on original two piano manuscripts and conduct workshops for piano teachers. Nelson and Neal are recog nized by critics for their musical integrity, high quality perform ances, and for their interpreta tions of Brahms and other 19th century romantic compositions. Viola, dressed as a page, enters the service of the Duke of Orsino, who sends her to plead his suit before Olivia, who falls in love with a page. Curio. The page, meanwhile, falls in love with Or sino. Maria, Olivia’s maid; Sir Toby; and Sir Andrew, cause Malvolio, a steward, to make a fool of himself by sending him a love letter containing foolish di rections which he thinks Olivia has written. He follows the di rections and is shut up as a madman. Sir Andrew is dis turbed by Olivia’s attentions to the page and challenges Viola to a duel. This fight is interrupted by Captain Antonio, who has come with Sebastian, and supposes it is Sebastian who is in trouble and interferes. Viola runs away, and the fight is continued by the real Sebastian, who soon drives off Sir Andrew. Olivia marries Sebastian (thinking him a page), and there is a mix-up when Olivia calls Viola her husband. Sebastian’s appearance and his explanations clear up the situation. The duke discovers his page is a woman, thus realizing he loves her. Mal volio is released and swears re venge on everyone. Charles Long To Lecture Dr. Charles H.

Cadenza, Vol. 1, No. 2, Coming Soon “This year’s CADENZA, the campus art-literary magazine, was sent to the printers this week, and I expect the publication to arrive in Mars Hill the week of 1 May,” reports Jos Vandermeer, editor- in-chief. “I am now organizing a sales staff and any persons who can sell and would like to make some money should contact me immedi ately. Pay will be 10c per copy sold,” continues Vandermeer. CADENZA will, again this year, be sold in advance. Advance sale orders will be made at a time and place to be announced soon. “Each CADENZA will feature an original print done by students in the art department. CADENZA will again feature poems, short shories, paintings, prints, and il lustrative art work correlated to the literary work. “CADENZA is provided through the auspices of the English and art departments. “It wasn’t an easy job to ma terialize this issue due to lack of campus-wide interest, though there was a small group of inter ested contributors who made this second CADENZA worth-while reading,” concluded Vandermeer. Mr. John A. McLeod, English department head, who has seen the prototype copy remarked, “The material submitted shows variety and creative ability, and I commend contributors for sup porting this splendid creative ef fort. The editor’s plans indicate a most attractive format for the 1967 CADENZA.”
