IF THE CONVERSATION

on everything from the Jun

past presidents of the WASH

honey.
Mrs. Paul Fay, wife of the
Undersecretary of the Navy,
listened with interest when
someone said honey gives
energy, kills germs, and is
non fattening because it
absorbS four times its weight
in water. She wondered If she
could use it in coffee in
stead of sugar. II never took
sugar in my coffee before
coming to Washington, but
here I have to do it because
I need the energy" said the
warm and very attractive
Anita Fay.

A handful Of Washington

to put it mildly.

Also the Director Of the

of the Corcoran Art Gallery,
Donaldson Hopes. and his
beautiful young blond wife,

sounds imaginable. And there
were two other instruments
that combined percussion and
crystal rod that were played
by Mr.. Jacques Chollet.
at is so WONDERFUL to
hear some new sounds" said
Richard Bales when the en-
semble had finished two vi
valdi compositions and one by
Bartok.
When the players went into
a fascinating improvisation of
their own-improvised on the
spot-Mr. Bales said what
everyone else was thinking:
1T sounds like the Twilight
Zone" meaning the intro
duction music to the well
known TV program. But
neither the Lasrys nor Fran
co.'s and Bernard BaSchet,
who constructed the instru-
ments, had ever heard of the
Twilight Zone.
Louise Cox thought it was
like a landing on the moon.
But whatever it brought to
mind, it was out Of this world.
So was the long-haired jazz
piece Gypsy Study" that the
ensemble played next. 1t had
the rhythmic beat and pep
of Jerome Robbins "Ballets
USA", and If Mr.. Robbins
doesn't hire them for some
out Of this world chore-
ography. he's missing a good
bet.
To one guest who wondered
what it would be like to play
one such instrument, Bernard
Baschet cracked in perfect
English, Tomorrow with a
pair Of pliers you can make
one yourself"
His highly amusing, extro-
verted brother Francois, who,
as a sculptor, likes to build
forms that make sounds, pro-
duced, before the evening was
over, a collapsible guitar. One
of about 100 other inStru-
ments he has designed, it has
a sound box" made of an in
flated plastic pillow. He
said he designed it for easy
packing when he was travel
ing around the world. 1t may
not be Segovia's choice, but
1t did sound like a guitar.
All six of the talented
group, all their instruments
and all their luggage left
Washington this morning in
one station wagon. They were
headed for New York where
they will be on Ed Sullivan's
program Sunday night.

west along the broad Boule-
ward st. German, turn left
before you come to the Boul
Mich intersection and you'll
find yourself in one Of the
oldest streets in Paris the
Rue de L'Ancienne Coincide.
And in the street itself you
will find the Cafe Procope,
claimed by It's owners to be
the oldest cafe In the world"
The Procope was founded
by a Sicilian named Fran
cisco Procopio del Coltelli in
1885 and among its custo-
mers over the years have
been such as Voltaire, Rous-
seau, Benjamin Franklin,
Robespierre, Anatole France,
Balzac and q sullen, un-
known artillery officer named
Napoleon Bonaparte.
One Of the cafes most
priced relics is the MARBLE
topped table at which Vol
taire worked and the candle
lit decor still preserves the
atmosphere Of the revolu-
ton.
And from a tiny upstairs
room, with 18th century
beams and fireplace, you can
look from a mullioned win
dow onto the Cour de Rohan
where the first guillotine was
tried out experimentally on q
sheep.
The Procope recently re-
sumed something Of its 17th
and 18th century role as a
center Of culture when q
group of artists - predomi-
nantly abstractionists - won
permission from the owner,
Georges Deroussent, to make
the cafe their headquarters.
After some pangs of doubt,
he even permitted them to
drive a few nails into his
precious walls to display their
works.
But he was terribly nerv-
Gus about it," said one Of
the painters. And we had
to promise to replace faith
fully all the centuries of dust
our hammers dislodged."
