‘Fantastic’ Well Done

By Difficult ‘Number. By HENRY BUTLER It was lucky that nearly all the symphony audience. arrived on time Saturday night at the Murat. For Dr. Sevitzky had "announced. that no one would be seated during

symphony, the 52-minute piece that opened the program. His announcement may have struck the few latecomers as capricious. On the other hand, the playing of that long work demanded utmost concentration from conductor and orchestra. The lush, 1830-style program notes Berlioz wrote for his five-move-ment. venture in revolutionary orchestration tell us more about the life and times of Bérlioz than about the music. There is, of course, some vague correspondence between program and music; but purple prose about the agonies of thwarted love doesn’t explain why Berlioz wrote as he did for orchestra, Suggestive of Strauss The difficult passages for strings, with demands on cellos and .hasses

~The continued popularity of “Life duced, could never have been such With Father” is a subject for an editorial writer rather than & reA gentle and harinless comedy, “Life With Father,” which opened | a four-day run at the English theater last night, is on its fifth trip! to Indianapolis. It has been described, analyzed and practically written out of existence, but it still

goes on. And the fact that it is still a major box-office attraction says more about the public than about the play. : Lots of reviewers have applied the word “nostalgic” to it, meaning that the picture of life in ‘the 1880's makes people homesick for the

Maybe the fact that “Life With Father” has broken- the longevity record of “Tobacco Road” indicates some progress in American culture. (One would like to think so. (H. B.)

: Laugh at Every Gag With victory in our hands, with meat point-free, and with enough temporary blessings to make every other nation in the world hate us, we still go for “nostalgic” plays. That's pathetic, and needs no underscoring. Last night's audience was deter-| _o mined to laugh at every mild gag. 4 It was, like every English theater audience, hugely pleased at anything on the stage, as a relief from Hollywood's recent average product. .And its applause of the players “in the current company was Justified. Carl Benton Reid as Father, and Nydia Westman as Mother, were real people. . Progress in Culture Like the four red-headed sons, they were as satisfyingly important in the audience's temporary inner life as are the characters in movies or soap operas. And about the only criticism one might make of the personages is the statement that Clarence Day Jr, who mercifully died before the play was first” pro-
