Carmen Jones to
Play Minneapolis
Friday, Dec. 9Th

When Billy Roses production Of
Carmen Jones" comes TO the Min
neapolis auditorium Friday. Dec.
q, for two evening performances
and Saturday matinee, playgOers
here will have their FIRST chance
TO see a new medium Of enter
tainment-Opera brought up TO date
and made dramatic and exciting.
Yet the immortal score written
by Bizet remains as originally
written.
This anomaly was accomplished
through the genius Of Oscar Ham
merstein II. He retained the frame
work Of the original story, but
changed the locale TO the United
States and the characters TO Am
erican Negroes. Thus, the cigarette
factory in Carmen" becomes a
parachute works in Carmen
Jones'; Don Jose becomes Joe, a
G.. |. corporal; while Escammilio,
the toreador, becomes Husky Mil
Ter.
There Is only one difference from
the way II Is usually sung by ira
ditiOnAl opera trOupes--the absence
81 the TecitAtive passages. And
that change Is in the nature Of
restoration rather than an innOvR-
ton. For, as few people realize,
those reCitative passages were not
written by BiEet himself. They
were added after the composers
death, when Carmen" moved up
into the grand opera class.
The score was originally written
for the Opera Comique in Paris,
where the tradition was TO have
arias interspersed with spoken
passages. and it was in that form
that Bizet cast his work. SO, ac
tually, the music in Carmen
Jones" il closer to the composers
own ideas than the music Of any
other Carmen" production heard
in the United States in the past
90 years.
Carmen Jones" will be pre-,
sented here under the auspices OF

Jess and Jean expanded their movie pro-
gram until they were showing films on travel,
history, hygiene, agriculture, manufacturing
and dozen other subjects. They found
two-room schoolhouse in one of the hollows
to which the hill folk would hike five to 10
miles for an evening of movies and talk"
The UN Catches On
ONCE, after travelogue about the noun
tains of Brazil, one of the women commented,
Those people are the same as us folks" 1t
was the signal for spirited discussion of the
kinship of people everywhere. The idea of
the United Nations had never really caught
on in the hollow until that night.
Recently. the little white clapboard school,
house was closed and about to be auctioned.
Every family in the hollow signed petition
to save their 'meetin' place" That's coming
a long way, Jess and Jean feel, from the old
days of the moonshiners, who were interested
in nothing outside the range of their shotguns.
There was no place to buy or borrow

purplish crests of the mountains swathed
in bandages of clouds. For the first few
months they just tried to get acquainted
They went to church meetings and straw
berry festivals. Jess sat on the porch of his
log cabin plucking his guitar and trying. to
master the extra beat in hillbilly rhythm.
When a mountain man wandered by, look
ing for stray pig perhaps, Jess got him up
on the porch for little pine Shawn and fat
chewin'. By the time they had whitfield
pound of shavings, they had chewed over
number of subjects from gymnastics to
geography.
The farmers were trife puzzled by the
Ogdens 1--WE don't know what they're amin
to do, but they're honey as dirt" one man
remarked.
That New Invention: Movies
WHEN they felt sufficiently absorbed into
the life of Greene County, Jess and Jean
brought movie films into the mountains
They set up screen in farmyard and used
hand-crank protector, since there was no
electricity. The first films were on nutrition.
Crowds of mountain folks swarmed down the
slopes to see them.
Down in Charlottesville, visiting
Chinese soldier heard of the project and
inquired: ''Do you mean people right
here in Virginia need this sort of educa-
tion?' The Chinese, he said, had seen Hol-
lywood movies and thought all Americans
had college educations in addition to l6-
cylinder cars and glass-bricked apartments.
1--WE had to inform him." Jess recalls, that

in that case the Chinese were
one step ahead of us. Many
of our mountain folk had
never even seen a NOVEL;
The nutrition film made a
big hit. but perhaps a bigger
attraction was the protector
itself. After the film had been
run through eight times, by
popular request, one of the
mountain men peered inside
the protector, hoping to find
miniature actors there.
