present cared to withhold even
a small amount of co-opera-
,tion. The performance was a
palpable hit.
The Three Kings in this per-
formance were all members of
the original cast which created
the roles back in 1851; their
work had an expected author
ity. Edith Evans, a mezzo-so
prano Of theatrical talent and
rich vocal endowments, was
superb as the mother. Twelve
year-old Jeffrey Meyer in the
title role was credible in his
acting, but disappointingly thin
in his singing. A program note
mentioned that he studies both
violin and voice in the pre-
paratory division at Juilliard.
He could do well to concentrate
on the violin.
The lads deficiencies were
not particularly noticeable in
his duets with Edith Evans,
due largely to the way she and
the orchestra accommodated
themselves to him. But in the
highly dramatic moment when
the mother is seized by the page
in the act Of stealing some of
the gold the Three Kings were
bearing to Bethlehem, his voice
as he tried to fight the page
off was a thin treble.
The three dancers from the
Washington School of Ballet
were effective in their bit part,
choreographed by Mary Day.
So were the troupe of shep-
herds, bringing gifts of food
to the Three Kings. And in the
pit. Lloyd Geisler kept things
moving with a sure and SEN
sitive hand.

Menotti's score, will survive

True" said the girl. but this

about actors who gave great
performances while drunk. He

sampled one glass of wine be-

three and finally four. Then
he went on the wagon, because
he suspected that it affected
his timing.
