October 26, 1964 High Life Page Three 7:15 And The Rush Is On What Really Happens Behind Scenes BY JANE TURPIN For the first time in the annals of history, I am going to reveal to you, the readers, the truth about what really goes on behind the scenes during the taping on an “US” television show! (After all the cheering has abated, I shall proceed.) It all began at 6:00 at the WFMY-TV station on Wednesday night, October 14, with the assemblage of the entire “US” committee. After zipping through scattered pell-mell, each with his own little duties to perform. Noting a vague nauseous feeling » - ® guests were herded into the stu- in the pit of my stomach, I was pleased to discover that among most of my committee the feelin^ was mutual. Repressing my fears, however, I scurried toward Studio 2, slipped on the newly-waxed floors, barreled right through the door to the men’s rest room, and found myself face to face with Dave Wright, who was struggling to get his contrasts placed just right. Needless to say, I bade adieu and made a hasty exit. Sliding on into the Studio, I found the purest form of mass confusion I have ever seen before. All of the lights had come on at one time, and I felt as if I were getting the third degree as T surveyed the domain. A gigantic three-foot “US” was swinging hap hazardly over one of the earner- man’s head, news reporters and moderators were saying their lines to the concrete wall, bleachers were being slung up against one wall, people were running to and fro, and as an accompaniment to the general din, the Reno Hill Singers were practicing folk songs and the Interpreters were beating out the rhythm of the Beatles, all except for a few members who were hidden among the stoves and refrigerators in Cordellia Kellys kitchen. Somehow the dio, and the taping began after short rehearsal. Yours truly was so afraid that something would go wrong, that she spent three- fourths of her time running hel ter-skelter exclaiming that she was going to be sick and “somebody’s going to have to carry me out of this place when it’s all over!” The rest of the taping session passed with little event. During the course of the program I no ticed the HIGH LIFE photogra pher hanging by his toes in the rafters and sent one of my hench- ment to rescue him. And some good-looking, tall, blue-eyed (or were they green?) blonde, who professed to be a beatnik and sported a most impressive nick name, kept breathing down my neck and calling me “Chick”. Some boy from Notre Dame was doing his homework at a desk in the corner, barely stiffling his yawns. Within seconds after the end of the show, he was sound asleep. After the taping, the band play ed a few farewell tunes between the times they were combing their Beatle-do’s and shining their Bea- tie-boots. Within a few minutes the studio was cleared of all except a few half-empty coke- V-NECK PULLOVER SWEATERS These full fashioned soft luxurious sweaters are per fect additions to your wardrobe.

But every thing had gone all right, until next time that is, when this whole scene will be re-enacted. The next show, a debate between the Teen-age Republicans and Teen age Democrats, should run very smoothly unless of course, a riot ensues. And the show after that, our Halloween party, has already been planned in detail, and, who knows, we might find it possible to import a real live witch, a black cat, and even one or two real dead spooks . . . begins its second year on a new time, 1:00-1:30 every Saturday afternoon Big Bearded Bugler Blows Into Town BY JEFF TURNER When the name, A1 Hirt, is men tioned, most people think of a big, bearded, buglar and hear “Java” bubbling through their brains. Those who attended his concert Saturday night, October 10, now realize that his skill does not stop with rock ’n roll such as “Sugar Lips” and “Cotton Can- dy.” On stage with the big man were five other musicians who play their individual instruments al most as well as Hirt plays his. With Hirt were his brother, Gerry on the trombone; “Dee Wee” Spitelera, who played clarinet and tenor sax; Lowell Miller on the base; Fred Crane, the pianist; and James Zitano, the drummer. The concert began with several rousing Dixieland numbers in the Bourbon Street style. This type of music begins with a chorus of the main theme and then breaks up into individual solos and im provisations before it unites again JCL Induction Held Thursday The Junior Classical League In duction Service for new members was held last Thursday at 3:30 in the AV room in the traditional candlelit ceremony. Cynthia Wharton, president of the club, assumed the duties of High Priest and was in charge of the induction progPam. Candy Sauer personified the Spirit of Ist-year Latin; Linda McCall. Spirit of 2nd-year Latin; Henry Perry, Spirit of 3rd-year Latin j and Francie Ferguson, Spirit of 4th-year Latin, All participants in the ceremony were dressed in Roman costumes, the traditional drapped Roman toga. Members of the orchestra, over seen by Gail Sadler, furnished the back-ground music for the service. G. H. Sharp and Lyn Label! play ed the violins; Maion Scott, the viola; Cathy Lilburn, cello; and Lari Powell, bass. At the first JCL meetnig of the year, an account of the summer JCL convention was related by several of the members. Being a somewhat organizational and in formational meeting, the scope of JCL, what it means, how it func tions, and its plans for the year was discussed with the prospective new members, who had been in vited to watch the proceedings. The new officers were also in troduced at the first meeting; Cyn thia Wharton, President; Candy Sauer, Vice-President; Linda Mc Call, Secretary; Henry Perry Treasurer. for the final chorus. After sev eral group numbers, each mem ber of the combo did a solo spot on his own instrument. During Zitano’s drum solo asd Crane’s beautiful interpretation of “Love For Sale,” the other members of the combo left the stage in order that they would not detract atten tion from the featured performer. The second half of the program was devoted to Hirt’s popular hits. Some of the numbers played were “Cotton Candy,” “Java,” “Sugar Lips,” “Up Above My Head.” and “The Girl From Ipan- ema.” Throughout the program. Hirt and h^is sidemen, especially “Pee Wee.” would spice up the music with singing, dancing, and other humorous antics. After thanking the audience for its wonderful response. Hirt and his group finished out the concert with a rolicking round of “The Saints,” Despite the fact that there are people who don’t like Dixieland,, or A1 Hirt, or jazz, or noise, or- beards, or bass, or didn’t have a date,j)r didn’t wear a tie, I feeS safe in saying that there were very, very few people there who didn’t enjoy themselves. golden gate Stamps and Supplies For Collectors THE STAMP BAR 2417 Spring Garden Open 5 FLm, to 9 p.m, except Tuesday Saturday 8 a.m. to noon Play Presented HEDDA GABLER, by Henrik: Ibsen, was presented by the Na tional Reperatory Theater on the evening of October 15. Signe Hasse was excellent in her- portrayal of bored and rich Hedda^ Gabler, daughter of a famous- general. She is the wife of George Tesman, an old scholar, well acted by Paul Bauersmith. Hedda’s boredom leads her to destroy her former lover, Eilert Loubourg, her husband’s Aunt Julia, and her friend Mrs. Elustad. Farley Granger was powerful as the wild but talented Lovbourg. Francis Bettencourt portrayed the cynical and practical Judge Brack. The part of Mrs. Elustad, played by Loloses Sutlon, was somewhat weak, however. The play was directed by Eva Le Gallienne, who also translated it. Hedda G. created a sensation-, when Ibsen wrote it in the With its strong emphasis on indl-^ vidualism, particularly of wontent;. versus regulation, it was graJedT with a great deal of protest. It how ranks as one of the best “modern” plays. The NRT also produced SHE: STOOPS TO CONQUER by OU- ver Goldsmith, and LILION, dur- nig October 15-18.
