The second program in a
four-event Bach Festival under
the direction Of George Manos
jointly sponsored by the Ma
tional Oratorio Society and the
Chancel Choir Of the National
Presbyterian Church, moved
from downtown out to upper
Connecticut avenue and the
attractively spare st. Paul's.
1t is singularly appropriate to
hear a group Of Bach cantatas
in a Lutheran church.
The National Oratorio Society
has the virtues and the faults
traditional in a community
chorus. There are too many
women among its so or so
voices, and the lower voices are
sometimes overwhelmed by
force of numbers as we'll as
the penetrating quality native
to sopranos and altos.
Although they are well
drilled, not always do they
charge into a climax in a way
that lifts an audience. Yet
there are times when they are
capable of surprising eloquence,
and their work in the chorales
Of Cantata No. 40 was one of
those times.
SoloiSts bore the brunt of

the evening, and they furn-
ished the finer moments. Kath-
arine Hansel had only one So
prano solo, but it was a beauty
in Cantata No. los. Backed by
solo oboe of wonderful plas-
ITCHY, her voice scared in florid
melismas of great purity. 1t was
a fine moment.
Rilla Mervine's rich con-
tralto was put to good use
throughout the evening, in ma
jor recitatives during the open
ing and closing works, and in
Cantata No. SO, which is one
long alto solo, Her work had
about it an ease and polish
that was most enjoyable.
The male soloists did not
measure up to their partners
on the distaff side. George
BarTitt's tenor was at times
hard, in the low register some
times inaudible, and in the

AFTER DARK
There's Variety
In the Singing

You can't complain about
lack Of variety in the vocal
entertainment currently avail
able around town.
II you want one of those
slick, sophisticated, highly pol
ished acts favored by the in
telligentia of Las Vegas, Holly
wood, New York or Miami
Beach, you'll find it at the
Shoreham, where Gordon and
Sheila MacRae are headlining
in the Blue Room.
II you lean toward folk songs,
an expert in that line named
Leon Bibb is at The Shadows,
abetted by Katie Lee, who sings
salty semi-folk songs. If it's
Jazz you prefer, go discover
Frank D'Rone, at the Show
boat Lounge for his first en-
gagement in Washington.

Is a young or at least youngish
man with good voice, exciting
delivery and a likable manner.
He's a singer with rhythm, spe-
cializing in up-tempo versions
OF songs you always thought
were ballads.
He'll start things off rous-
ingly with, say, a brisk and
rhythmic version of will You

DINING OUT
On Meat Fondue
And Asparagus

We always get a charge out
of coming across a dish which
not only is new to us but diff
ferent as we'll.
This week we found two.
The first is obtainable at the
Swiss Chalet, at Sixth street
and New York avenue NV,
where the owners, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henri Waser recently add
ed to their menu fondue bour-
guignonne, a meat fondue
which you cook yourself at the
table.
If that isn't novel enough,
we don't know what it would
take. It's great on the taste
buds, too.
The Swiss Chalet, of course,
is known for its cheese fondue
two Swiss cheeses and white
wine served bubbling hot in a
chatting dish. You spike a piece
Of French bread on a fondue
fork, dip it into the melted
cheese-wine mixture and while
it's still hot plop it into the
mouth. Any number of guests
may participate, all dipping
into the same dish. In addition
to being a treat where flavor
is concerned, it's a great con-
versation piece.
The meat fondue works much
the same, perhaps being even
more entertaining and every
bit as delicious.
The beef-alwayS filet mig
non-comeS to the table raw
and cut into bite size chunks.
Each piece is spiked on the
fondue fork (just like bread in
the cheese fondue) and dipped
into a brass pot of clear, boil
ing-hot vegetable oil. In less
than is seconds, the meat is
done. From there you dip 1t
into any one Of 10 sauces which
the Chalet serves on a fondue
sauce tray.
1t can't be beat. Watch the
fork, however. 1t cools less rap
idly than the chunks of filet.
The 10 sauces are an expert
ence in themselves. Included is
imported Hungarian paprika,
toasted and crushed almonds,
curry powder, chopped onions,
sour cream with garlic and
parsley, a cocktail sauce with
horSe-radish, homemade Swiss
tartar, sweet relish, and one
made of crushed cranberries,
grated orange and lemon peel,
wine and spices.
Not the least Of the enjoy
ment in fondue bourguignonne
is the fact that everyone
is his own chef, the atmosphere
turning into that of a patio
cookout.
Included with the fondue
oourguignonne is a green salad
with an oil and dry mustard
bread and butter. The

JUNIPER passages he seemed to
struggle against the stream at
times. He has been heard to
better effect. The orchestra
did its work with the kind of
professionalism one expects
from the familiar faces that
could be discerned here and
there in the group of some 25
players. Not always did they
maintain a supportive role
when a soloist was singing
against them, but that can be
laid at the conductors door,
and seldom did he appear to
be trying to quell them. A
question often rises on such oc-
casions: Is sound on the po-
dium really that much differ
ent than sound out in the hall?

price is $6.95, a bit expensive
because the meat "a ounces of
it, is-and must be filet mig
non. There also is a mixed
offering (filet and pork
priced at $5.95.
In any case, the diner should
not miss meat fondue. 1t is diff
ficult, If not impossible, to find
in most American cities.
Mrs. Waser, a native Swiss,
says meat fondue-as the name
implies-has its root in Switzer-
lands French population. 1t
most often is found in Geneva,
Zurich and st. Moritz.
Our second find is the Old
Europe Restaurant and Rath-
skeller's spring special called
"schweine schnitzel nit frische
spargel, salz-kartoffeln und
hollaendische sauce: A Dreaded
pork steak served with a boiled
parsley potato and a pound Of
the tenderest fresh asparagus
we have ever tasted, topped
with hollandaise sauce.
This is special because the
Old Europe-like other Ger
man restaurantS-serves it only
during asparagus season. It
matters because the asparagus
(where this dish is concerned)
is every bit as important as
the pork steak. 1t would never
do, therefore, to serve less than
the best fresh variety. The pork
steak is rolled in flour, egg and
bread crumbs and then Sauteed.
The price is $3.50.
The diner should accompany
this meal with May punch, the
original Rheinhof May wine
and champagne with fresh
strawberries settled in the bot
tom. That would make the bill
total $3.50. Dessert and coffee
would be extra.
Of you wish. you may have
Westphalian ham instead of the
pork. We had a bit of both, and
found 1t difficult to decide
which goes best with the as
paragus)

FINESSE Leon Bibb, as
you may already have OWNED
from his records and guest
appearances on top TV shows,
is among the better practi-
TONERS Of his trade to turn UP
at The Shadows. In approach
and manner he may remind
you of an earlier Harry Bella
fonte nobody but Belafonte,
of course, reminding you of the
mature and seasoned Harry
Belafonte).
His voice is rich in timbre
and he can employ it to project
emotion as we'll as words and
He sings with finesse
and with feeling. He wins
over an audience Immediately
granting that most Of its
came prepared to be
won over with q delightful,
haunting ballad called Come
All You Fair and Tender La
dies" He winds up his show
with a repriSe of the same
song, a deft touch that is one
Of several reasons why Mr..
Bibb is a cut above a lot of
other folk singers.
Between opening and close
ne runs through a wide array
Of music, from Spirituals c'In
That Great Gettin' Up Morn
ing," Sinner Man." etc. to
ballads of legend CJohn
Henry"). He makes everything
sound fine, especially a medley
Of the numbers he sang early
Evening star., 1963-04-25

in his career-"Where Do You
Come From?". II Know Where
I'm Going" and "I'n Dream of
My Saro," If you're partial to
folk singers, Mr.. Bibb is your
man. And If you're not but
want to find out as painlessly
as possible what folk singing's
all about, he's your man, too.
The Shadows bill also in
cludes the offerings of a girl
named Katie Lee, a sort of
country music Ruth Wallis.
She is a philosopher as we'll as
a singer, voicing such senti-
mentS as Il always think it's
nice If you can learn something
especially if it's dirty" She
also knows a fellow who dis-
covered he had an Orifice mot

with the Holland Tunnel. Miss
Lee gets bit rough at times
and don't invite her to enter
tain at any Sunday School
picnics. But she also is pretty
funny at times.

MIMICS - The MacRaes.
Gordon and Sheila, have
everything they had when at
the Blue Room a year ago, but
the act. which this time is
brand new. 1t may even be
better than the old one, which
was great. It's a smart and
fast-moving mixture of music
naturally and comedy and
it's more fun for the money
than most of the shows that
creep up on you in the night.
There is an ample sampling
of the MacRae voice. It's as
robust and melodic as ever and
he puts it to good use on
There's Only One of Her." IF
Ever I Would Leave You,"I
What Kind Of Fool Am IL
"Oh, What a Beautiful Morn
in" Surrey With a Fringe on
Top" "Oklahoma!" and IF I
Loved You"
The accent is less on music,
though, than on daft comedy |
that grows out Of a series Of
impersonations. In one of these
the MacRaes portray the adult
Of that family in the
White House and they're fun
nier at it than the Vaughn
Meader people (whom they
preceded.
In another they cleverly, and
here and there with malice
aforethought, conjure up the
images Of a number of cele-
brities for laughs. During the
course of it Gordon turns up
as Garry Moore, Louis Prima,
frankie Fontaine (including a
song called "The Sweetheart Of
Freud"), Edward r.
Murrow and Dean Martin.
Sheila contributes devastating
glimpSes Of Elizabeth Taylor as
Cleopatra, Carol Charming, Zsa

ian Freedom Fighters~ and
Peggy Lee. They're better at it

tainers whose sole talent is for
