Maryland U. Praised
For Strovinsky Work

Just about equally fine was
the acting Of jeff Bell (another
drama student) as the Devil.
and the Princess of Merriam
Rosen, Of the University's
dance faculty, was very impress
sive. Her choreography and
execution of the dances she
created were both expert and
expressive. David Ulrich's Sol
der was convincing enough,
but not quite on the same level
of achievement as that Of the
other members Of the cast.
In all fairness. it must be
said that the real hero of the
production was Mr.. Pugliese.
The tiny orchestra, In casual
clothes, was jammed into one
corner Of the auditorium in
order to keep the view Uf the
stage unobstructed: the Mar
rator, in ordinary street clothes
(while much Of the male audi
ence sweltered in formal dress)
worked with 1t. The single,
simple set was extre mely
handsome, and thanks to some
excellent lighting effects, un-
usually flexible. But most i'm
portant, every stage movement
was believable. purpoSeful, and
natural-the true mark Of the
gifted stage director.
Gripping Performance
The end result was a con-
sistently gripping perform
ance which held the attention
despite such distractions as the
heat in the non-air-c conditioned
hall. To make matters more
interesting, steam heat poured
from the radiators throughout
the evening even though the
temperature had scared well

The University Of Maryland
which In the past has offered
some unhelievably fine opera
on its pipsqueak Of a stage, has
once again done itself proud.
Yesterdays production Of
Igor StravinSky's "L'Histoire du
Soldat," rarely encountered
these days as a dramatic work,
proved to be a genuine triumph
nicely played, well acted, and
quite brilliantly realized con-
sidering the handicapS under
which stage director Rudolph
Pugliese must labor.
The weird assortment of
seven instruments called for by
the composer demands first
class players If it is to make its
effect, and fortunately, the
four Maryland faculty mem
bers and three local pro-
fessionals were quite equal to
the task.
The 1918 score (Which re-
fleets Stravinsky's reaction to
New Orleans jazz in quite a
few spots) is pretty familiar as
an orchestral suite, but as a
piece ito be read, played, and
danced" In connection with the
cautionary tale about a soldiers
curious adventures with the
devil as set down by the Swiss
poet c. F. RamuE, 1t is virtually
unknown.

instincts were sound, and

Editor: The privilege Of an alder

ries with it an associate respon-
sibility to the total electorate Of
any given ward.
It might well be written; he who
seeks political fortunes at the polls
and yet fails to promote his own
candidacy among the total voting
constituency, certainly plants seeds
Of doubt and mistrust. This sort Of
negative consideration for the COM
mon gentry smacks of the poorest
judgment; it exemplifies the rank
est sort of contempt and flirts
with a deserved defeat at the
polls.
AS a voter Of the Eighth Ward;
I am deeply concerned with the
present state of ward affairs, and
question the political judgment Of
ignoring the voting power that
granted the privilege of office. The
present alderman freely accepted
all of the privileges Of office, yet
has neglected to represent all the
constituents on an impartial basis.

Men like Lloyd Jones, who have done fairly
effective job of concealing their extreme rghtist
sympathes can be much more effective in confus-
ing the issues and stirring up antagonisms than the
open preachers of hate, such recent visitors to
towns, Billy James Hargts and General Edwin
Walker. There more of this camoufaged breed
around than any of us, perhaps, realize. Some of
them even make pretensions to liberalism, which
makes them than ordinarily effective and dan

That is why, when you catch them spouting
their hate doctrines no matter how carefully dis
guised, it is important to identity them for what
they are.
