Proper Grazing

Rotationally graZed tall-grass-le-

The excellent Fujiwara Opera
Company from Tokyo came to
town last night to lpresent
"Madama Butterfly" and 1.-THE
Mikado" on alternate nights at
the Carter Barron Amphitheater.
The two vehicles have the
specious appropriateness of a
production by the Metropolitan
of "The Girl of the Golden West
in Tokyo, but one need not give
that a second thought. Under
whatever auspices, Butterfly" ("
is, of course, one of the best
loved of Italian operas. and the
Fujiwara troupe give it with
great dash and spirit.
The costumes are as fetching
as one will ever see, the scenery
is artful. the acting entirely con-
vincing-indeed, very moving
and the singing better than I
can remember in a summer rep
ertory theater.
The musical direction last
night was only fair, but the con-
ductor was faced with problems
the alienation of which is per-
hapS beyond his sphere of in
f1uence.
The opera is sung in Japanese
by the native members of the
cast and in English by the three
who take the parts of
Pinkerton, SharpleSs and Kate.

San Of Masako Toda turned
melodrama into real life. She
was an ideal blend of charm,

minor roles of Yamadori, the

and briliiance of characterize :

standing, were in every case
capable.
One would expect the costum-
ing of Butterfly" by the Japan

was disappointed in the bril-

Company. The same can be said
in general of the sets. though it
lis difficult to understand how
any Japanese. supposed to be
particularly sensitive to flower
arrangement, could give Butter
fly such a bedraggled armload
of poSies to strew about the

The amplification was very
bad, making any artistic balance
between singers and orchestra
out Of the question. The voices
were distorted by a hard edgy
quality, and what was worse,
they were doubled by the
mechanical echo of the loud
speakers.

carricature of those movies
which insist Scandinavian life

The picture is the work OF
Ingmar Bergman whose Tor
ment" of few years ago was a
praiseworthy achievement in
haunting realism. The quality OF
the latest film is pure nightmare.
Bergman who writes as well
as directs his screenplays, takes
a look here at the basic emotions
of such basic people as those in
a motheaten travelling circus.
His concern is principally for
two of these. the lusty owner OF
the outfit and the pretty girl
who finds her employer a man
who does not mind that she is
not unlike circus animal her
self. In fact. they cast a mutual
spell, this strange pair, its effect
such that the circus gets seedler
than ever.
For all the strength of their
primitive attraction, however,
adversity affects the two quite
as it might their social betters.
