The Messiah
(Coat in tied from Page 1, Section 2)
FouiMjUng Hospital contributed
funds for a chapel, Handel prompt
ly donated a splendid organ and
offered to dedicate it with a ape
cial performance Of Ills "Sacred
Oratorio".
Repetition Sought
The chapel of the fashionable
charity was crowded to capacity.
There # in the solemnity of the
chapel the music made so profound
an impression that Handel was
begged tp repeat it.
Scorned for years, The Messiah
suddenly became I*ondon's best
loved oratorio?and the composer's
most profitable work.
The Church endorsed it, and
eventually it was performed in
Westminster Abbey with full or
chestra and a choir of 500 voices.
At one of the performances in the
presence of King George II, the
King was so inspired that when
the chorus began to sing the "Hal
lelujah Chorus", he rose to his
feet in adulation.
The audience stood with him and
since then it has been the custom
for people to stand during the sing
ing of the "Hallelujah Chorus".
To Haudel it seemed especially
fitting that the music he had writ
ten to glorify the birth of a Babe
in a manger should be consecrated
to the welfare of homeless and un
wanted infants. At least once a
year, as long as he lived, he con
ducted The Messiah for the Found
ling Hospital. From these coneerts,
he contributed more than $35,000.
For many years after Handel's
death The Messiah was the favo
rite composition for charities of
all kinds. As one writer of the
times reported, "It fostered the
orphan, fed the hungry, clothed the
naked, and relieved suffering more
than any single musical produc
tion m any country in the world."
With the success of The Mes
siah, Handel's star rose again. All
his neglected compositions were
brought out and the adopted gen
ius was rediscovered by London.
Goes Blind
But Handel was old and broken
in health. His eyesight was fail
ing. While writing Jeptha (the ora
torio containing a chorus signifi
cantly titled "How Dark, O Lord,
Are Thy Ways"), Handel went
blind.
Despite the loss of his sight and
his feeble health, Handel continued
to compose and conduct. The aging
genius was led to the organ at
Covent Garden, and there he di- .
rected The Messiah for the last
time.
Once again the immortal music
proclaimed:
For unto us a Child is born, onto
us a son is given; and the govern
ment shall be upon his shoulders;
and his name shall be called Won
derful, Counselor, the Almighty
Ood, the Prince of Peace.
Man Pfovat'Hw Point
With Gun , FirocracWort
Rocltvitlc, Md. (AT)?When po
lice rolled up, there stood William
Stanton with a machine gun in his
hands Amid sounds of tiring, three
?tale roads commisatoners cowered
behind some big oil drums.
A closer inspection showed the
gun was wooden. Police found
Stanton's wife hiding behind a
fence, shooting off firecrackers.
The Slantons made their point.
A ramp, planned to enter their
property at a place they disap
proved, was moved to another lo
cation.
Potu combined three Indian
words ? Pelu, Bern and Bint ? to
gain its name. They mean (in
proper order) a river, a chieftain
and an Indian territory south of
Panama.

Four Movies are Slated
For Christmas Week
Morehead City movie fans will
have a choice of four good movies
during Christmas week. Scneduled
to play at the Morehead Theatre
Sunday through Tuesday is My
Gun is Quick, a Mickey Spillane
chiller. Gunsight Ridge, a western,
will play the same days at the City
Theatre.
The secret formula for My Gun
is Quick is 5x39-18-33. To get as
scientific as one can get in the
presence of five beautiful dolls,
the formula explains itself thus:
5 is the number of luscious ladies
who swiggle, wiggle or jiggle
through the mystery melodrama
tics that make up the tension
packed action of this newest Spil
lane story. 39-18-33. give or take
an inch or fraction thereof, are the
measurements of bust-waist-hip,
respectively.
Gunsight Ridge is an adult west
ern story of a man turned outlaw
by a strange quirk of fate. Excit
ing yet always believable realism
marks this production. There is
not a single process or faked shot
in the entire picture, even hazar
dous runaway stagecoach sequen
ces were filmed as both camera
car and coach careened around
haii-pin turns high in the Arizona
mountains, all caught by Ernst
Laszlo's brilliant photography.
June Allyson and David Niven
share top hilling in My Man God
frey slated for Wednesday through
Saturday at the Morehead. God
frey, be it known, is s handsome
gentleman of fine breeding who
takes a job as butler for the wack
iest family in New York Society
circles.
Niven, as the butler, is devas
tating as he endures the family's
way of life, slowly teaching them
the foolishness of their manners.
June Allyson, the lovesick daugh
ter. displays a brilliant aptitude
for comedy that stamps My Man
Godfrey as the finest performance
she has ever given on the screen.
Rock Hudson and Dorothy Ma
lone co-star in The Tarnished An
gels, scheduled for Wednesday
through Satnrday at the City
Theatre.
The story revolves around a ro
mance between Hudson, a news
paper reporter, and Miss Malone,
parachutist in a barnstorming
air circus.
Motorist Attempts to Eat
His Suspended License
San Diego, Calif. (AP) ?When
Police Officer Leonard Baber
stopped Raymond T. Camoras, 23,
for a minor traffic violation he
found him trying to eat bis driver's
license.
"Why?" asked Baber.
"My license was suspended a
year ago and I just have to drive
a car," was Camoras' puzzling
explanation.
