4. Among the variety Of
awakening campus activities
underway this month is the
shaping up of college theater
plans for 1852. The Amer
ican University Players, for
instance, have already chosen
and set the dates for their
five-play schedule.
Having polished off a rep
resentative group of Amer
lean play writing last year,
the Players now offer a look
at five varied forms of drama.
Opening the season on Oc-
tober II will be Emlyn Will
1iams' "The Corn Is Green"
Though resplendent with
warm comic moments, the
play is generally termed a
tender tragedy" Next up,
on November IA. is THE
Prodigal." a modern entry
by the young playwright,
Jack Richardson. On Feb
ruary 13, Shakespeare's
"Cymbeline," a complicated
history from Holinshed's
Cronicles and inspired by
some notes of Boccaccio, is
the offering. John Milling
ton Synge's 'Playboy of the
Western World" the Irish
comedy about some deep
seated problems between IA
ther and son, opens March
20. A gay mood winds up the
season May l with the
George Gershwin musical,

1t takes a pianist who
knows what he is doing, such
as Charles Rosen, to make a
dubious or reluctant music
lover begin to comprehend
and enjoy Arnold Schoenberg.
Even a neophyte gets the
feeling that RoSen is an in
comparable interpreter Of
both Schoenberg and Igor
StravinSky on a new Epic
release.
Of StravinSky he plays the
Serenade in A for Piano and
Sonata for Piano (1924. The
Schoenberg selections are
Two Piano Pieces, opus 33a
and 33b and Suite for Piano,
opus Is.
Schoenberg has been dead
a decade but many still
shudder at his 12-tone clas-
sizes as something forbidding
and jarring to ears attuned
to conventional modes.
But so perhaps was Stra-
Whisky once jarring to some.
Listen to Rosen play his now
almost romantic sounding
pieces in beautifully-con-
trolled, exquisitely phrased,
richly -textured fashion.
Then turn the record to
the Schoenberg side and
learn to your surprise that
this Twentieth century pio-
neer is not so hard to take,
after all. Again it is Rosen,
obviously mentally as well as
physically equipped for this
assignment, who gently leads
us by the hand to unsus-
pected, if somewhat cerebral,
delights.
This is a record Of great
performance, sound and
merit-filling a void in the
current catalog.
