From the movie, "It Climbed Out Of The Washer.
Hitchcock Tonight
Long-hair music (old meaning) swelled
through Hill Hall Sunday night as the
North Carolina Quartet gave the second
program in a three-part series devoted to
Beethoven's "String Quartets."
Beethoven, as well as anyone, represented
ronunticiam, and has become a cultural
hero to modern rebels who have never
heard his music.
Born two centuries ago, Beethoven's
mortality ends whenever you hear a part
of his legacy. The Ninth Symphony's
majestic sweep is perhaps bestoved. But
you detect hints of his grandeur and
genius in the " String Quartets" when
they are played well.
Some of the "Quart ets,"three
selections from three periods in
Beethoven's life, received impressive,
sensitive treatment under the "North
Carolina Quartet's" skilled hands.
The players, Edgar and Dorothy Alden
on violins, Ann Woodward on viola and
celloist Charles Griffith, began the
program with "Quartet in D Major, Opus
18, No. 3." It was written about 1801
and shows Beethoven bowing to
formality. The soft, hopeful theme
enunciated in the "Andante con moto's"
opening predicts an emotional strain
which is not forthcoming.
the second theme rollicks alone and
permits no emotional pitch. Evoking the
minuet, the Allegro" carries enough
sprightliness. Bt. the "Presto," despite
its 68 rhythm, readily fastens itself to
your memory. The "North Carolina
Quartet" invested it with the proper
individuality.
Next selection was the "Quartet in F
Major, Opus 135, a short work which
splendidly recalls Beethoven's full
dimensions. It follows a conventional
four movement scheme. It contains an
attractive contrapuntal working-out in
the first and last movements. In the first
movement, the minor details fascinate the
receptive listener.
The restrained play upon the off beat
in a triple rhythmn, for example, makes
this brief gem glitter. In the "Trio,"
chords rapidly change. The third
movement, "Lento assai, cantante e
tranquillo," was highlighted by Charles
Griffith's amusing parody of a drone bass.
This movement wins the listener
immediately with its direct, forceful
melody.
The theme's dominant-tonic figure
became a driving rhythm. It wanted to
have its way in A major. But Charles
Aldren's first violin soared handsomely
beyond it. "Grave, ma non troppo tratto;
Allegro," the last movement, featured
short, matchless variations which
returned to this jiu7?ct
serenity.
A strong confident end:nc. iM,
played, closed this work -.J !h,
program's first half. The firmh combined
both subtlety and astounding speed. Op.:v
135 was composed about X 2i. i.m arJ
the end of Beethoven's hie. The '"Quartet
in F Major, Opus 135" bears the Hooding
genius' imprint throughout.
After intermission, the "North
Carolina Quartet' concluded
performance with another selection
which touches the shadowy corners of
the human psyche. The first and fourth
movements celebrate power and joy. An
introduction, a rarity in Beethoven's
"String Quartets." precedes the opening
movement.
In the second movement. "Andante
con moto quasi Allegretto." lightness

"Memielfo- GTJ7to," third movement.
LAs r g d structure. If doesn't remind
you too much of the dance. However, the
"North Carolina Quartet" shifted
smoothly from the eodu into the finale, a
C ma for fugue.
The group displayed consistently
smooth execution during the program.
The "North Carolina Quartet" paid
!ittng homage to Beethoven on the two
hundreth anniversary of his buth.
Beethoven's music remains some of the
most accessible in the classical field.
On October 25. there vull be another
opportunity to hear from Beethoven. The
Ciompi Quartet" will finish the "String
Quartet" series. Attend. You ears need a
friend.
Alfred Hitchcock's reputation as one
of the foremost international directors
and acknowledged master of the suspense
genre has been surpassed only by his
phenomenal popularity among all levels
of society.
Carolina film buffs will have the
opportunity to see three of Hitchcock's
finest works during a special festival, Oct.
6-8. Tickets will be sold for a quarter at
the door prior to showings at 7 and 9:30
p.m.
"REBECCA," (Oct. 6) Hitchcock's
first in a series of films done for producer
Divid O. Selznick, won the Oscar for Best
Picture of 1940. The story concerns a
young bride who comes to a mysterious
manor in England. There she finds that
the memory of her husband's first wife
haunts her and she tries to discover the
secret locked in her husband's heart of
what happened to her. The film stars Sir
Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George
Sanders and Dame Judith Anderson.
. "NORTH BY NORTHWEST," is more
contemporary version of "The
Thirty-Nine Steps," utilizing a brilliant
chase sequence, one of the finest in
cinema histroy. Cary Grant stars in this
example of Hitchcock in the 1950's.
"SPELLBOUND," (Oct. 8) was
Hitchcock's first attempt at probing the
depths of the human mind a theme he
repeated later but less effectively in
"Mamie." Gregory Peck, an amnesia
victim, assumes the identity of a noted
phychiatrist, Dr. Edwardes. Accused by
the authorities of the man he professes to
be, Peck escapes from the hospital with a
fellow psychiatrist, Ingrid Bergman, at his
heels.
Convinced that Peck is innocent, she
attempts to restore his memory and
uncover some lead that would prove his
innocence. Suspense and tension mount
throughout the picture, reaching an
intense climax as Peck and Miss Bergman
race down a ski slope. "Spellbound," like
"Rebecca," was produced under the
aegeas of David O. Selznick, and features
, jUnusuaJ dream sequences.. qonceived and
designed by Salvador DalL
