Wesley Film To Be Shown Monday At L. Junaluska On Monday evening at 8 o'clock the Methodist Church's new fea ture-length color film, "John Wes ley" will be shown in the Audi torium at the Lake ? Junaluska Methodist Assembly Grounds. The picture was dedicated on April 28 at a private showing in New York City and then released to 515 churches across the country for premieres through June. Bishop Donald H. Tippett of San Fiancisco, president of the Meth odist Radio and Film Commission presided at the picture's dedica j tion in New York at the Museum ol Modern Art. The movie has been described : at a "teaching film," designed to depict highlights in the 88-year : life if John Wesley, British found ! er of Methodism in the 18th cen i tury. "We believe the film rates high as entertainment, but it is intend- j ed primarily for church showing j and will not be released exclus- | I ively to movie theatres," said Dr. Spencer, executive secretary of the Methodist Radio and Film Com mission. , Filmed in the new Eastman col or, the 77-minute film was made in England by Religious Films Ltd., of London, a subsidiary of | the J. Arthur Rank organization. Rank, a leading Methodist layman, , has long wanted to make the Wes ley film. He joined with American Methodists to initiate production last year in connection with the i THE COURT AND QUEEN of Junaluska at the coronation Sat urday night, August 13 in the Assembly Auditorium at Lake Junaluska. The theme of the colorful pageant was "Junaluska Scrapbook," recalling all the coronations and pageants of past years. Miss Sylvia Camlin of Lake Junaluska was crowned <)ueen for 1955. 250th anniversary of Wesley's birth. The picture was directed by Nor man Walker, and Leonard Sachs | is featured in the lead. The cast of 90 includes some of England's best-known stage, screen and TV piayers. Some of them accepted bit parts just to be in the picture. Locations include several British historic spots, such as Oxford Uni versity, where Wesley was a stu dent and teacher, and St. Paul's Cathedral in London where he of ten worshiped as a priest of the I Civic Band (Continued from Page 1) er perfection all the time. A week later at the third re hearsal, the success of the concert was assured. Luckily, two former members had just been discharged from service and had been promin ent in the military bands, and were conditioned and ready to go with the heavy brasses. With a number of high school members in the band, the former members proved themselves com petent musicians by concert time. Before the concert was over, civic leaders publicly requested that a repeat performance be giv en. The audience cheered and ap plauded the suggestion, and the band was assured they had pleased, and pleased well. The story of what the concert has uncovered does not stop there. In the audience for that first con cert were other former members, and even members of other bands, some college and military groups. The urge to play again in a band was contagious, and swept over the audience, and right now, there are a number of business and profes sional men and women, who are quietly, and without fanfare, dust ing off their band instruments and in private tuning up. A number have contacted Director Isley for music to use in their private prac tices, and they plan to be ready to play anything a concert band can be called upon to play by next summer. And there again, is still another part of the story. The concert this year, and the demand for the second, has brought on the idea that for next year weekly concerts be given by the community band. And if practices continue through the winter, there will be a lot of new faces in the band next summer, and they'll be ready to go when Director Isley lifts his baton for some of the fast marches, or the slower tempo of waltzes. This community is "full'' of good musicians, all trained in the Waynesvlle band. Each year, about 200 students at Waynesvlle high take band. Many have gone on to college bands, military bands, and some have finished in music and are teaching. The band here was organized in 1939. and has been the pride and joy of the community ever since. The band has brought^ many honors Church of England. Movie cameras htd never before invaded the priv acy of the 279-year-old cathedral, but officials waived the ban to per mit the filming of one scene. back from state-wide contests, and is recognized as among the top three concert bands in the state. This year the WTHS military band will consist of 100 uniformed members, and a 65-piece uniform ed junior band, who will perform at football games, parades and at concerts. On Labor Day, the two units will march in the Canton pa rade during the morning, and in the Hendersonville parade that af ternoon. The program really begins in grammar grades, when members of the concert band are taken to the various schools and give demons trations on the different Instru ments. Those inteersted in taking band decide on their instrument and ask questions, and watch band members perform with that par ticular instrument. When the stu dent gets into Junior High they know what they want to play, and students are scarce who do not cherish the idea of playing in the band. This past week, Director Isley received a letter trom a former member of the band, now serving with the Marines. This young man wanted to know If be woutd be1 eligible to play in the civic band whin he got his discharge from the Marines next June. He is now a member of the post Marine band. And so the story goes, with inter est gaining in the civic band daily. In Waynesville, former band members may forget some things, but they never forget they want to play in a band again, er members had to get their wind back, limber up their fingers, and get back into the swing. They ha'd been out of practice for so long that 1 wondered if they could snap back in five rehearsals." The urge to play, the feel of the instruments, the excitement of the approaching concert provided in spiration which the former players needed. By the second rehearsal Director Isley hardly recognized some of the off-key playing which was prevalent the first night. The old touch, the old tones were coming back, and timing was getting near Wile Preservers ^ There were 20V4 million trees planted in Texas In 1954, says the Texas forest service.
